Main God Creation Rules

Although there is still a long way to go before a complete reproduction, it is no longer a problem to perform basic operations on the concept of magic. Of course, this is also the reason why Lin Yi used most of the "magic system" in the "live broadcast".

The saying "seeing is believing" applies here. People who hear rumors may not agree with them much, but seeing it with their own eyes makes a world of difference. The most direct comparison is in the recovery of "mechanical intelligence," which is now less than one percent of the recovery speed of the "Eye of Roots."

However, given the strength of this world itself, it seems that even with this incomplete "eye," it should be able to handle the situation, so there's no need to create another big scandal. With this in mind, after the perfect success of the last operation, Lin Yi stayed at the base in Altair and never left again. Every day, he used the internet to collect information about this world and intelligence that might be related to the "Golden Clan," as well as slowly increasing his "Acknowledgment Power" to restore his strength.

During this period, Lin Yi also came into contact with other "allies" belonging to the "Chaos Faction" besides Altair and the former Alice Tria, and Briz Toca in front of him was one of them.

Unlike Alice Tria's medieval battlefields, Blitz Toca is a character from the comic and anime series Code Babylon, which has a cyberpunk worldview. He was once a bounty hunter and a detective.

However, aside from their different backgrounds, he had similar reasons for joining Altair's faction as Alice, who had already switched sides.

—The person he valued most was killed by him.

In the hands of the "Creator," Briz Toca's daughter is infected by some kind of alien substance. If she is not killed, it could lead to a huge crisis. Under such a dramatic "plot," the father, who clearly values ​​his daughter the most, is forced to kill her himself.

If he hadn't known of the existence of the "Creator," Blitz Toca would have continued on, no matter how grief-stricken he was, even if burdened with guilt. However, after learning of the "Creator's" existence under Altair's guidance, this former detective could no longer bear it, and he turned all his anger towards fate towards his "Creator."

This is not surprising, after all, his "tragic" story was written by his "creator," so it is only natural to feel angry about it.

While swirling these trivial pieces of information in his mind and chatting with Blitz about random bits of intelligence, the topic suddenly shifted—

"Speaking of which, the 'creator' of this world is really going too far."

He raised an eyebrow slightly: "It's especially convincing when you say that."

"No, I'm not just talking about myself, I'm talking about you too."

Leaning against the wall behind him, Lin Yi looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a puzzled expression.

“I’ve read through your story. Although I feel my own story is tragic enough, it seems your luck is even worse than mine.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi smiled and said, "Really? In my opinion, it's not that bad yet."

“But besides encountering the same excessive ‘creator,’ we have another thing in common that other characters don’t have.”

Lighting a cigarette, Blitz slowly exhaled smoke: "Our daughter."

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and this time he remained silent instead of responding.

"It's called 'Eve,' the child you created yourself."

"Are you interested in her?"

"It's impossible to say I'm not interested, after all, I'm a girl born with 'perfection' as my goal... Of course, it's not an interest in the general sense. I'm already past that age, and I have people I care about."

Since the world only has access to information up to the "Eye of Root" stage, Blitzcrank obviously couldn't possibly know that Eve isn't complete. Therefore, there's probably only one reason for bringing this up now—

"Is your daughter still alive?"

Re:CREATORS: Chapter 498 Re: The Holy Grail War (1)

“Unlike Your Highness the Knight, I didn’t join Princess in uniform for some grand reason like saving my world. I joined simply for my daughter. So even if you did those things, I won’t stop you. After all, what I’m doing is essentially the same as what you’re doing.”

"However, there is only one thing I cannot back down on, and that is my daughter. In your story, I see no inclination of your choices, and even without the existence of a 'creator,' it is impossible to be certain of every decision you make... In fact, in some ways you are even more terrifying than your 'creator,' after all, the creator will only do excessive things for the 'plot' they need, but you can do anything more terrifying without any burden."

"Perhaps I have no right to say such things since I killed Alina with my own hands, but I still want you to ask a question."

Meeting Lin Yi's calm gaze, Briz Toca tossed aside his half-smoked cigarette: "Is your daughter still alive?"

Like dolls, anything created by humans, whether physical or illusory, will always carry a touch of the creator's "ideal" elements. That's why Alice Tria acted that way—because at that moment, she chose to go against the creator's "setting."

Clearly, the same applies to Blitz Toca right now. When this character keeps talking about taking revenge on the "Creator," isn't he also being influenced by the "Creator" in his character setting to take revenge, and even standing in front of him saying these meaningless words?

No... perhaps in their "creator" setting, these things are more meaningful to the characters?

Thinking of this, Lin Yi lost the will to continue talking to this puppet-like character in front of him—he'd rather go find his "creator" than waste his time on it.

"Are you satisfied with being alive?"

"...I wouldn't say I'm satisfied, but at least it gave me a reason not to point a gun at you."

After a moment of silence, Briz Toca lit another cigarette and turned to leave, his voice saying, "Cherish her. Although she's just an outsider, I can feel how much she values ​​you. And anyone who values ​​you is not someone you can easily give up."

----------segmentation----------

Several days later, at the outpost.

After gathering all the members currently belonging to the "Chaos Faction," Altair, who initiated all of this, officially announced his plan to Lin Yi and the others.

"The more 'roles' appear in this world, the stronger their recognition becomes, and the more contradictory the rules of this world become. When these contradictions intensify to a certain extent, the world itself will collapse—in this way, we will finally achieve our long-cherished wish to avenge ourselves against the 'Creator'!"

In short, the goal is to get everyone present to cause trouble.

However, it seems that this "chaotic leader" doesn't have as much influence as Lin Yi had expected. At least in Lin Yi's view, apart from himself, the other three characters present didn't seem to have any intention of making a move...

He shook his head and directly presented the plan he had prepared beforehand.

"One question: is it enough for any 'character' to appear to be from outside this world?"

"Of course, my ally, what are your plans?"

In response to Altair's question, Lin Yi smiled and said, "In that case, I think I can offer some help."

Surrounded by many questioning gazes, Lin Yi extended his right hand, and a golden vortex slowly materialized above his palm, ultimately projecting out—

"cup?"

"Hey, you're not trying to say this thing counts as a 'character', are you?"

"Of course not, it just allows the 'roles' we need to appear."

As Lin Yi raised the Holy Grail in his hand, he could feel the restlessness within the "Root" of his right eye—

"Let's have a 'Holy Grail War'."

----------segmentation----------

Special Disaster Headquarters.

Since the last "live broadcast" incident, the pressure on these "insiders" has increased several times over, partly due to the commotion spreading online and partly due to Altair's growing "acknowledgment power."

"Judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that the situation can be resolved outside the sight of ordinary people, unless a huge barrier is specially created that can gather all the 'characters' and then resolve all the disputes in one go inside. Otherwise, continuing to wait will only allow Altair's fighting power to continue to expand."

"But, such a massive barrier can't be created so easily, can it?"

"Leave this to me. As long as headquarters can cooperate with my actions, creating a barrier of this scale shouldn't be a problem... What we really need to pay attention to is how to deal with the new 'character' that has appeared on Altair's side."

"But is that guy really as dangerous as Meteora says? To me, he's just an ordinary character at most."

"That only applies to the situation before the incident. After gaining so much recognition, it's unclear to what extent his strength will recover."

“It doesn’t matter. Even if I regain all my strength, I can still retrieve my ‘Knight of Qufugel’.”

Even with Seresia's comfort, the mage still felt no sense of relief: "It's not the same... To be honest, I still can't understand why characters from novels can appear in this world, especially not 'famous' characters."

"What difference does it make? As long as we defeat him, that's enough, right?"

"...Your Highness, you are the only one who has fought against this new character. Do you have any objections?"

In an instant, everyone's attention turned to the female knight who had remained silent throughout.

The latter instinctively gripped the spear tighter, and after a moment, under the mage's encouraging gaze, he spoke: "That guy is dangerous."

"It wasn't about combat strength. At least back then, in direct combat, his strength was far inferior to mine. But the real danger of that guy wasn't in terms of strength."

Nodding, the mage continued the female knight's words: "That's exactly what I'm worried about. As created characters, we all have our own weaknesses, just like Miss Seresia."

"Eh? Me?"

"That's right. If 'Caron Sega' (the protagonist of the work) appeared in front of you, would you still be able to fight him with all your might with the same mindset?"

Perhaps imagining that scene, Seresia's face immediately stiffened.

"Similarly, if I encounter a character that appears in my world, I will also hesitate or even feel confused, and this will not change no matter how powerful I am."

“Everyone has their own beliefs, and they hesitate when faced with choices and feel lost when faced with setbacks. But this character is different. In his story, he seems to have never had any similar elements.”

"Before we actually fight him, we need to confirm one thing: is our opponent really 'human'?"

Re:CREATORS: Chapter 499 Re: The Holy Grail War (2)

In a conventional sense, the Holy Grail War requires two "Holy Grails" instead of one: one is the Lesser Grail, which serves as the final reward for the victor to fulfill their wish, and the other is the Greater Grail, which provides the summoning of Heroic Spirits and contains all magical power.

At this stage, due to insufficient power of recognition, Lin Yi can at most summon a minor Holy Grail from the "Root," the true Great Holy Grail—

"I'll take care of it."

After explaining the so-called "Holy Grail War" to his "allies," Lin Yi directly revealed his plan: "Although the 'Root' is not yet complete, summoning a few 'Heroic Spirits' is not a problem."

Having discovered the blind spot, Blitz Toca questioned, "How many? According to what you just said, this Holy Grail War shouldn't be something that can be started by just a few Servants, right?"

"Of course, there are you guys too."

After saying that, he pointed to Briz Toka in front of him: "Our archer."

Pointing to Caron Seiga (the male protagonist of the fantasy robot anime series "Folger Knight"), who had a furrowed brow: "Our Rider."

Pointing to Bai Yaxiang (the protagonist of the comic "Closed Zone underground -dark night-") who looked indifferent: "Our Lancer."

Pointing to Altair, who looked interested, he said, "Our Saber."

Finally, pointing to himself, he said, "As for me, I'll just be a Caster... Look, now we have five Heroic Spirits, don't we?"

"A good idea. So, if my ally is the evil Black Faction that destroys the world, then who is the righteous Red Faction hero who saves the world?"

Holding the small Holy Grail in one hand, Lin Yi recalled the characters he had encountered before: "Rider, Seresia (the female protagonist of the fantasy robot anime series 'Spirit Machine Rhapsody: Knight of Fogel')."

Caron Segar frowned even more, but ultimately said nothing.

"Saber, Mirokuji Yuya (the final boss character in the manga 'The Enclosed Zone -Dark Night-')"

Bai Yaxiang's face showed excitement.

"Lancer, Alice Tria Figueroa (the princess who is the protagonist of the fantasy biographical manga and anime 'Scarlet Alice Tria')"

Briz Toka exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Archer, Ruwei Kanoya (the protagonist of the robot anime Monomagia, the pilot of the giant robot Gigasmachina), although he is more suitable to be a rider, but unfortunately that position is already taken. Anyway, they are all things that shoot bullets, so being an archer is not bad."

"As for the caster, it is naturally Meteora Estrelahi (the sage who guides the protagonist and acts as the librarian in the open-world RPG 'Avaken of Remembrance')."

“Very good. In this way, the Red side will also have five Heroic Spirits. Then, the only missing Heroic Spirits are our two and the opponent's two. Once the final summoning is completed, this unprecedented ‘Holy Grail War’ can begin. But this time, the final prize will no longer be just the Holy Grail.”

With arms outstretched, the princess in military uniform cried out as if embracing the entire world: "—It's this whole world!"

"Then, I will deliver the Red Team's declaration of war. In the meantime, I hope you can help me prepare the ritual to summon the remaining two heroic spirits."

After saying a few words to Briz Toca and the others, Lin Yi turned and left. The three characters behind him exchanged glances, but ultimately had no choice but to proceed according to the "script".

----------segmentation----------

To the disaster headquarters.

With Meteora's prompting, each character also re-evaluates the suddenly appearing "new character"—the concepts of facing "human" opponents versus "non-human" opponents are entirely different.

"If what Meteora said is true, what should I do if that guy appears in front of me?"

Lost in thought, Rue Kanoya stared ahead, her mind momentarily blank.

"If it appears in front of me, if it appears in front of me... in front of me... in front of me... eh?"

Seeing the figure that suddenly appeared before him, Ruya Kanoya was startled for a moment: "Really... appeared?"

The next second, the entire room descended into chaos.

"If I came here for battle, I wouldn't need to show up in front of you specifically, would I?"

Seeing the female knight who had already picked up her lance and was about to charge, Lin Yi smiled and said, "It seems that it's more suitable for Miss Knight to stay here."

"—!"

"Please calm down, Your Highness."

After calming down the female knight who was about to explode, the mage stopped the others from attacking and turned to Lin Yi: "May I ask, what is the purpose of your visit?"

"A declaration of war... I'd like to say that, but let's explain the rules of the game first."

"Rules of the game?"

"Yes."

Once again, the Holy Grail is taken from the "Root": "The Holy Grail War, do you know?"

"...I came across this in your story."
