Main God Creation Rules

The request was simple: it was because they had received news that Country C had decided to cut military spending, and some reactionary forces had started to have ulterior motives, or perhaps foreign forces wanted to use them to determine whether Country C had really taken these measures and were instigating them to start their activities... it didn't matter anyway.

Normally, these "collaborators" should solve these problems themselves. However, this time the target is not far from the laboratory. Moreover, as the price for taking over half of the stockpiled nuclear weapons from them and then having to take over the remaining 49% of the stockpile, this time it was delivered to Lin Yi as a "commission".

After all, from the perspective of needs alone, Lin Yi's position is consistent with theirs: stability.

Only stability can lead to development, and only development can lead to expansion. In turn, the upcoming "portal" plan will bring sufficient resources and benefits to the long-term development of the God from another perspective.

If this reactionary force succeeds, not only will the "portal" plan be destroyed, but even the basis for cooperation will be lost. No human being would be so foolish as to explore the unknown world when their own safety cannot be guaranteed.

After thinking it over, Lin Yi agreed after only a short hesitation.

That night, a localized magnitude 7 earthquake struck the area around Mount Everest.

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

Amidst many expectant or skeptical gazes, the first massive project ever officially commenced on this most magnificent mountain in the world. For this project, Country C has spent almost half of its national treasury in manpower and resources, even though it is based on the premise that a large amount of funds need not be spent on maintaining military equipment.

Even so, this unprecedented project in human history still took nearly half a year to complete. Perhaps even "God" was worried about the impact of this "teleportation gate" on the world after its completion. In just six months, no fewer than ten local earthquakes occurred around Mount Everest, but each time they were fortunate enough to avoid the main area of ​​the "teleportation gate". Moreover, it seems that the number of earthquakes decreased over time, and eventually they were just something people talked about after dinner.

On this day, a huge, enclosed arched metal gate, twenty meters high and an astonishing ten meters wide, was finally completed at the top of Mount Everest. At the same moment, a unique "meeting" was held beneath this arched gate, inside a large section of Mount Everest that had been hollowed out.

"...Mr. Lin, this ratio is simply too outrageous. Please forgive us for being unable to accept it."

“We provided everything from the resources for building the ‘portal’ to the main force that will be deployed next. All you had to do was supervise the project, but you got half of the output. That’s just too much.”

“That’s right, and our cooperation isn’t just a one-off event. If we can achieve the expected revenue this time, we won’t have to worry about future opportunities to cooperate. Even a third of that would be enough to buy the wealth of half the world’s countries!”

……

Amidst the numerous admonitions and discussions, the figure sitting opposite, whose face was obscured by a hood, spoke up.

"First, I'm providing the technology; do you have that?"

"..."

"Secondly, I have dealt with 17 'reactionary forces' in the past six months. Can you do that?"

"..."

"third."

He reached out and grasped the sword blade that was hovering motionless behind him, then gently placed it on the table: "I want half. Do you have any objections?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Three minutes later, a contract known to only a very few people was recorded in extremely concise yet flawless text. It was signed in more than a dozen languages, representing the interests and wills of various parties. And at the very top was a mark—the mark of a sword piercing through.

There is no other way.

During the period when the main god entered "fusion", Lin Yi, who had lost his greatest support and meticulous control over the entire main god space, could not possibly launch an invasion of other worlds on his own.

To give a basic example, even if Lin Yi, without the assistance of the main god, could crush all the high-level combat forces in a medium-active world, what would he do after crushing them all?

It's important to understand that the invasion of the Supreme God wasn't for destruction. In essence, it was an intrusive act to obtain more resources. Whether it was the T-virus world at the beginning or the Fire Seed world at the end, they all immediately began to explore and acquire various resources of that world after gaining control of it, rather than simply destroying it and calling it a day.

Clearly, in terms of combat significance, Lin Yi alone could rival the entire Main God Space, but in terms of subsequent resource acquisition, there was no comparison. Or was he really going to have to rely on himself to "work his way up" bit by bit?

However, it would be almost impossible to have those reincarnators complete these tasks as before without the help of the main god. After all, Lin Yike does not have the calculation power to control and calculate the behavior of hundreds of thousands or millions of reincarnators at all times and issue corresponding tasks and rewards.

In the end, Lin Yi found himself with only two choices: either do nothing during the fusion of the main gods, or find another group that could replace the reincarnators to help him complete the task of seizing resources from the other world.

Lin Yi didn't expect these replacements to be as absolutely obedient to his orders as the reincarnators, nor did he need them to have an average base attribute of over 100 to fight against beings from another world. He just needed them to honestly complete tasks like "mining," which even a trained monkey could do.

Ultimately, Lin Yi chose these "collaborators" from the world of origin.

In exchange for the knowledge of "portals" that enable travel between worlds and half the resources gained within the invaded world, they provide all the human resources, including the construction materials for the portals and all the manpower to subsequently seize resources from the invaded world.

Of course, considering that these collaborators were mostly weaklings with an average physical fitness of less than ten, Lin Yi did not expect to be able to infiltrate any highly active worlds with them. In the end, he chose a conventional, low-activity world from among the many world coordinates provided by the main god.

Soul Leap: Chapter 323 Akame ga Kill! (1)

This is an ancient empire with a thousand-year-old civilization, and also the most powerful country in the world. The only country that can rival it is another kingdom located in the far west, while the southern islands and the northern tundra are relatively backward, and the eastern island nation is an uncivilized land.

In this country, the supreme ruler is the emperor, and the power structure is divided into civil officials who manage politics and military generals who manage the military. The head of the civil officials is the minister, and the head of the military generals is the general... If that were all, it would be clear that a feudal empire that had not even undergone the Industrial Revolution could not possibly compare with the war corps that had already entered the post-industrial era of mass production. However, there exists an inconceivable weapon in this world...

About a thousand years ago, in order to maintain his long-term rule, the founding emperor of the empire summoned the best craftsmen from all over the world with the empire’s enormous wealth and power. Using legendary super dangerous species as materials, along with rare metals such as Ohari steel and a large number of long-lost secret techniques, they developed forty-eight weapons that could not be replicated and called “Imperial Arms”.

"Imperial Arms" possess a variety of incredible powers, including the ability to freeze an entire river instantly, the ability to transform weapons into human form, and even the ability to "read minds," which only exists in imagination, is completely reproduced by these "Imperial Arms."

After obtaining this intelligence, the commander of the First Expeditionary Force immediately canceled all the large-scale external operations he was planning to carry out, and instead began to spy on the outside world in a different, less conspicuous way.

It must be said that everything in this unfamiliar world is vastly different from what they knew.

The oxygen concentration, which is more than twice that on Earth, catalyzed the giantification and mutation of surface plants, indirectly creating this dense forest with an average height of over 20 meters. Putting aside the fact that it hindered the army's operations, the adverse reactions caused by the oxygen density also became a major problem that had to be solved.

At this time, the various strange and enormous carnivorous animals that kept emerging from the forest directly put these disabled Earthlings in danger.

Although they learned from several local hunters that these carnivorous animals were called "Danger Species," the commander still had no way of dealing with these "Danger Species" without heavy firepower support, let alone the Empire with "Teigu Users" that they would have to face after leaving this forest.

"...Unless we can move heavy firepower units here, we won't be able to get out of this forest."

The chief of staff's conclusion was similar to that of the commander. If possible, he would also like to do so. After all, in a world where any hunter could easily run at the speed of a world champion sprinter and lift an object of world champion weight, it would be too difficult to take any action with only the meager firepower of soldiers—and the firepower of soldiers who were in a state of "oxygen poisoning" and even had difficulty aiming.

Conversely, if heavy firepower support were available, dealing with those "Teigu users" would be a piece of cake, and these "dangerous species" that have repeatedly tried to attack the camp could be easily dealt with. After all, a beast is a beast, and it's likely that even if it mutates and becomes larger and more agile, it would still be the same.

However, their problem now lies in—

"...The leader did not agree to the meeting."

Clenching his hands, the commander frowned: "Light equipment is manageable, but the cost of transporting heavy equipment, maintenance equipment, and ammunition to Mount Everest is far too high. Unless we are confident that we can gain more from this world, this bottomless pit of input without output will cause the national economy to collapse."

The chief of staff, who was equally aware of this reality, couldn't help but complain: "I really don't understand why, when the country has countless places where we can build 'teleportation portals,' we have to choose to place it on Mount Everest."

"Perhaps they are worried about potential dangers, just like when we enter this world now. If armies from other worlds discover the 'portal' and send troops to invade our world, the harsh environment of Mount Everest can restrict their movements."

The chief of staff couldn't fully accept this explanation, but these were matters he couldn't interfere with. He could only steer the conversation back to the urgent problem: "Our soldiers lack weapons, ammunition, medicine, and food... How can we continue fighting under these circumstances?"

After a long silence, the commander, under the watchful eye of the chief of staff, spoke with difficulty: "...Let's request support from 'him'."

As long as a "living" world exists, there will inevitably be some "unreasonable" things, and as their concept and degree continue to rise, their vitality will become stronger.

In this world, which Lin Yi has named the "Teigu World," the fourteenth world, the activity is largely related to things like "Teigu." The reason it is only "largely" rather than "entirely" is because some of it still exists in the air of this world and can be absorbed by "humans" and "dangerous species" in some way.

With these active energies, both "dangerous species" and "humans" can, under certain conditions, surpass the original physical limits of their bodies. Just as the average attribute of Earthlings is only 10 points, humans in this world can easily break through this limit and reach 20 or even 30 points.

From the perspective of people from Earth, this change was simply due to the different oxygen concentration in the air of this world. At least before they actually came into contact with the "Teigu users," they would never connect these things with the unknown. Lin Yi had no obligation to remind them of this, since according to the "trade" rules, he only had three things to do in this world.

The first thing is to enable "collaborators" to understand the language of this world.

"Now for the second item... what do we need this time?"

Standing before his "collaborators," whom he had only separated from for less than two days, Lin Yi's confidence in relying on their strength to acquire resources from this world was not as strong as it had been at the beginning. After all, their performance since stepping into this unfamiliar world had been far worse than Lin Yi had imagined, to the point that they now had to seek his support a second time.

Soul Leap: Chapter 324 Akame ga Kill! (2)

This nation, built on the frozen soil of the north, has been defeated once again. This time, however, it was not defeated by the invincible Imperial Arms users within the empire, who were like demons, but by a group of "savages" who emerged from the southern forests.

The term "savages" doesn't refer to primitive people covered in thick fur and wielding clubs. Rather, it's the opposite. Judging from their clothing alone, even the recently departed Imperial Army might not have possessed such magnificent attire, let alone their exquisitely crafted weapons.

Just as exquisite as their craftsmanship, the weapons wielded by the "savages" were equally powerful.

To drive out these "savages" emerging from the forests teeming with dangerous creatures, the northern nation, freshly defeated by the empire, dispatched its remaining force of a few thousand men, slain after a massacre. However, they fell before the exquisitely crafted weapons, which resembled works of art, before they could even get close. Witnessing this, the newly enthroned king abandoned his throne, which he had held for less than two days, and fled. Those who couldn't escape were left to their fate, allowing these "savages" from the forests to conquer the nation already ravaged by the empire…

After overcoming numerous hardships, the commander finally achieved his first victory since arriving in the other world. Although he had only defeated a group of "primitive people" wearing animal skins and wielding clubs, and even those "primitive people" he had just defeated, this did not dampen his spirits. He had finally found what this ravaged country desperately needed.

"The permafrost is full of rare earth elements, and oil has been detected on the north side—at least 20000000 million tons of reserves!"

Upon receiving this message, the commander did not hesitate to send it back to the other side of the "portal," and received the long-awaited message in less than half an hour.

Heavy weapons units are en route to provide support.

Only then did the humans from another world officially take their own step into this world.

While reorganizing the chaotic troops and waiting for subsequent equipment support, the commander did not let go of his concern for this newly occupied land. After finding several former high-ranking members of the northern ethnic groups who had failed to escape, he quickly learned from them about this incident that had just occurred.

"The demons of the Southern Empire attacked us and slaughtered 400,000 of us."

“They took all the wealth here, and we have nothing left.”

"If you want wealth and people, we can unite and wage war against that empire!"

Ignoring the last, utterly clumsy attempt at encouragement, the commander was only considering the impact this news would have on his subsequent plans. At this moment, the chief of staff, who had been observing from the side, spoke up: "Didn't you resist?"

"We resisted, but they have Imperial Arms!"

"That demon possesses the power to freeze everything—"

"The power to freeze everything?"

Under the commander's suspicious gaze, he learned a piece of information from these panicked people.

"The Great General of the Empire, Esdeath, the strongest Imperial Arms user."

As the commander left the tent where several "primitive people" were being held, his brow was still furrowed. Seeing this expression, the chief of staff asked doubtfully, "Did you really believe it?"

"...After seeing 'him's' existence, I couldn't help but believe it."

As he said this, he subconsciously looked towards the area where the forest was located, hesitated for a while, and then looked away: "No matter what, we must be more vigilant. Even if the power of that Teigu user is not as exaggerated as these people say, he is definitely not an opponent who can be easily killed by a few bullets."

Compared to the commander's pessimism, the chief of staff seemed much more relaxed: "Even if a few bullets can't kill those Teigu users, what about hundreds or thousands? Besides, if nothing unexpected happens, we'll have more than just bullets at our disposal in a few days."

The commander was taken aback, then realized what the chief of staff was referring to, and couldn't help but show an expectant look: "I wonder what they'll send over."

Two weeks later, in a hidden facility on the outskirts of the capital.

After finishing off a corrupt bureaucrat in the capital, Tatsumi returned to the Night Raid base and, before he could even rest, was summoned to the main hall by Najenda, who had a serious expression on her face. He immediately noticed that all the other Night Raid members were also present and couldn't help but look bewildered: "What's wrong?"

"Important news has arrived from the front."

"The front lines... Could it be that the revolutionary army has been—"

Shaking her head, Najendan reassured the new Night Raid member: "Don't be nervous, it's not what you think... but it's not exactly good news either."

Subsequently, Tatsumi learned from Najenda that while he was busy assassinating officials in the Imperial Capital, an unusual situation was taking place on a front line between the distant Northern Empire and the Revolutionary Army.

"...According to the information gathered by the Revolutionary Army, the first confirmed eyewitness account was in the northern forest, where they appeared with those powerful weapons, defeated and captured the northern city that had just been ravaged and abandoned by the Imperial Army, and used it as a base to launch an invasion of the surrounding tribes."

"Normally, the Empire would ignore the actions of the northern tribes, waiting until the strongest among them emerged and all forces were united before sending troops to suppress them. But this time was different. These armies of unknown origin easily defeated all the northern tribes and marched directly south without stopping, and then..."

"They charged straight into the front lines between the Revolutionary Army and the Empire."

If so far things were still within Tatsumi's comprehension, what he heard next began to leave this country-born warrior bewildered.

"We have been defeated."

"……what?"

"Not only us, but the Empire was also defeated, and it was a rather tragic defeat... According to the reports of the survivors, all the soldiers who fell on the battlefield were soldiers of the Empire and the Revolutionary Army. There were not a single corpses of those unknown troops. They easily wiped out everyone who stood in their way, and they are still attacking the surrounding Imperial and Revolutionary Army forces."

At this point, Najenda stood up and addressed the Night Raid members in a serious tone: "It is regrettable, but we may no longer be able to stay here to slay the sinners of the capital. We must head north and, before the front lines completely collapse, slay these enemies of unknown origin!"

Soul Leap: Chapter 325 Akame ga Kill! (3)

On the battlefield, a one-sided massacre is coming to an end.

Amidst the metallic storm of bullets, lives fell and vanished one by one, yet those behind seemed compelled by something, their faces filled with fear, yet they were still forced to take steps forward—and then die.

Only after this battle, which could hardly be called a battle, ended did the commander let out a long sigh of relief. The chief of staff, who was nearby, happened to hear this and said, "Your awareness is not enough, Comrade Commander."

"...Sorry, I still can't get used to these kinds of scenes."

"This is something we can't help. I had ideas to establish equal dialogue and trade with them, but they were all rejected outright."

"Yes, it's all just a helpless situation."

With a sigh, the commander did not dwell on this issue of stance, but instead inquired about the battle situation.

"Aside from the serious consumption of ammunition, everything else is fine... This is thanks to the strong support from the Logistics Department, otherwise it would be hard to say whether we could have left the ice field in just half a month."

"What did the General Staff say?"

"Our plan is to continue advancing until we reach the capital, then stop there. Once the armored forces catch up, we will take the capital once more and liberate the people of this empire."
