Main God Creation Rules

Perhaps because it could not obtain the energy it craved, the soft-bodied creature made of flesh and blood emitted a distorted cry. Apart from the naked desire to eat, Lin Yi could not even sense the second kind of "rational" emotion belonging to humans in its words.

Noticing this, Lin Yi asked the entity in his mind, "Is this considered a case of atavism?"

The subconscious's protective function over the physical body has been removed, and the rapidly proliferating genes have damaged the test subject's thinking ability. It is estimated that there is a greater than 90% probability that only genetic instincts remain, and the test subject is currently acting according to genetic instincts.

Hearing this, Lin Yi's heart sank. The explanation sounded sophisticated, but in terms of the outcome, it could only be described as failure.

The reincarnators needed by the Main God Space are definitely not these bloated, immobile flesh-and-blood creatures, nor are they beasts that only know how to eat. In other words, this evolutionary model cannot be included in the Main God Space as a third type of mutated evolution for those reincarnators to choose from, unless…

"...God, reproduce the mutation process of test subject number 108."

Ignoring the fleshy creature in front of him that kept making sounds like "hungry" but couldn't move at all, Lin Yi focused intently on the replay of the short ten minutes of footage on his retina, until the fifth minute of the third "replay".

"Wait, if I remember correctly, the proliferation rate of different parts of the body of test subject 108 was not the same, right?"

[The correct assessment is that the proliferation rate in the left tibia is more than 1.5 times, while the proliferation rate in the head is less than 0.7 times.]

Lin Yi was taken aback: "Left leg?"

[Subject 108's residual genetic repair instincts drove most of the energy input to repair the wounded area, but under disordered control, this led to uncontrolled proliferation and expansion of flesh.]

His eyes gradually brightened, and almost immediately after the main god finished explaining, Lin Yi couldn't wait to ask, "If we can retain a part of the experimental subject's consciousness, can we subjectively control the direction of proliferation?"

[Driving simulation in progress...]

Silently watching the flesh and blood creatures before him begin to melt due to the lack of energy replenishment, Lin Yi's gaze fell upon the equally twisted and unrecognizable bones that remained intact, which further solidified his judgment, until the answer from the Supreme God resounded.

The conclusion has a 70% accuracy rate and is actionable.

"enough."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. The efforts of the past few months had not been in vain. It was not impossible for him to shift his focus from internal investigation of the T-virus to exploring the possibility of human genes. After proving this, the next step was simple.

"Get ready, the 109th test will begin in one hour."

For the residents of this remote city, plagued by traffic congestion and information isolation, this day was no different from any other day they had ever lived.

Awakening, working, eating, resting... If it weren't for Judge Yorick from the capital arresting another group of bandits along the way, they might not even have anything to talk about.

It must be said that Sir Jorick's arrival has changed many of the city's old ways. Not only has the persistently high crime rate plummeted to almost rock bottom in just over two months, but the occasional shouts and tremors heard from the prison have also become their "dessert" after dinner.

Even when unheard by the parties involved, they have a strong desire to gossip, such as discussing the source of those sounds and vibrations. After all, there are no other forms of entertainment in this era, and this is one of the few ways for them to pass the time.

However, the situation was slightly different on this day. Not only were the shouts that could only be faintly heard from the prison clear, like the loud cries of some kind of wild beast on its deathbed, but the ground beneath our feet suddenly began to shake violently.

“By Mary Above, is this God’s punishment upon us?”

The pale-faced resident almost collapsed after feeling the tremors beneath his feet; he probably wouldn't have been able to stand up if someone hadn't been there to support him. It wasn't just him; for the people living on this land, words like earthquake were clearly too unfamiliar, and lacking knowledge of natural phenomena, they instinctively attributed such inexplicable events to "gods" or similar entities.

Just as people were panicking about this phenomenon, an old man suggested, "Go find Sir Yorick. He is a nobleman from the capital and must know what's going on."

"That's right!"

"Have you noticed that this whole thing only happened because Sir Yorick came here?"

"This must be Mary's punishment for Sir Jorick killing too many people."

"Expel him!"

Even the proposer hadn't expected his single sentence to have such power. He could only stare in disbelief as the excited crowd surged together to the prison gates. Then, just as the head of the group, the manager of the luxury goods store, stood in the open space in front of the prison, about to say something, a tremor more violent than any before erupted—or perhaps that's not the right way to describe it, but rather…

The slanting sunlight of the setting sun was blocked by the "figure" that slowly rose from the prison ruins. People shrouded in shadow stared wide-eyed as the "person" "carefully" pinched the struggling and screaming shopkeeper with one hand, and then gently put it to his mouth.

"Click——"

Under normal conditions, what would happen if a person were enlarged to several times or even dozens of times their original size and then placed on the ground?

Obviously, it would never be the kind of "giant" in movies and TV shows that can dismantle skyscrapers like toys, because the moment it actually appeared on the ground, all its bones would be crushed by the Earth's own gravity. It would either die from internal organ rupture or lie on the ground barely surviving.

However, what is perfectly normal in World Zero is completely overturned in World Six, where the gravity constant is only slightly more than half. The same bone density cannot support a creature taller than five meters in World Zero, but in World Six, only a slight adjustment is needed.

Once the energy provided reaches the level required for proliferation, then everything will become possible...

"God, record the T-virus mutation in World Six as 'Giants', and use this to deduce a mutation system suitable for reincarnators to enhance."

【Command confirmation】

Looking up at the giant that was grabbing at the humans below like a child catching ants, Lin Yi raised an eyebrow through the smoke and dust rising from the ruins.

To be precise, the evolutionary system of "giants" is not yet complete. The only successful sample at present has successfully transformed into a "giant" but has also lost most of the "abilities" that are crucial to humans. Now, rather than viewing it as a human, it is more appropriate to regard it as a giant humanoid monster with the mind of an infant. After all, no human would do what it is doing now—eating people.

[During the mutation process of the experimental subjects, more than 90% of the genes that are missing due to excessive proliferation and replication are human genes. Out of the instinct for repair, the experimental subjects will prioritize humans as their feeding targets.]

Looking at the giant who had swallowed an entire adult whole without even chewing, Lin Yi said calmly, "However, it was all for naught."

If gene-level repair can be achieved through such a low-level intake method as food, then why did he waste so much time conducting experiments before? He could have just captured hundreds or thousands of people, fed them every day, and observed their reactions.

However, these giant humanoid creatures, whose intelligence level has fallen to below that of an infant, are incapable of understanding this concept. Therefore, all they can do is to continuously follow their genetic instincts to plunder the "food" they "need," and to repeatedly repeat the process of eating and searching for people.

Even more regrettably, in order to conserve energy, Lin Yi drastically reduced the energy supply of their digestive system during their mutation process. So even if they wanted to digest humans like livestock and convert them into energy, it would be impossible. Their eating would only result in stuffing an ordinary person into their stomach and suffocating them to death, without even being able to excrete them.

After taking one last look at the city that was gradually collapsing and disintegrating under the onslaught of the giants, and calculating how much longer it would take for it to be completely destroyed, Lin Yi turned and left.

"The first phase of individual experiments has been completed. Next is the second phase of comprehensive experiments. The problems that need to be solved in this phase include the exaggerated energy consumption of the giant mutation and how to maintain the original human consciousness. Apart from that... I think the humans in this world need help."

"boom----"

A violent tremor came from the city center, and the towering church collapsed with a deafening roar. The guards, who had not yet finished assembling, joined the ranks of the fleeing people without a word.

"After all, they have to deal with relatively large infected individuals."

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

Unlike Worlds Two and Three, where infected individuals could spread the virus widely through multiple infections, in World Six, the appearance of "giants" could only be achieved by Lin Yi personally injecting the individual with the drug and providing the energy needed for proliferation.

So by the time news of a large number of Titans appearing in the south actually reached the capital, more than half a month had passed since the first Titan appeared. Before that, those who reported these things were either executed as madmen or imprisoned for crimes. Only now, when the Titans had already traversed one-fifth of the land and were still approaching the capital in the north, did the bureaucrats, busy with their own enjoyment and infighting, begin to care about this issue.

"giant?"

"Yes, giants ranging from a few meters to over ten meters tall emerged from the Giant Tree Forest (due to gravity, herbaceous plants can also grow very tall in sufficient sunlight and water), rushed into our village, and killed many people. Only I escaped..."

The bureaucrat, who was manicuring his nails, said impatiently, "Well, aren't they just creatures like wild animals? Just make traps to kill them, or lure them away with livestock if you can't kill them."

Without waiting for the pale-faced survivor kneeling below to respond, he left the palace with the help of his guards.

The following day, a group of three hundred knights and five hundred hunters set off from the southern gate of the capital, carrying a large number of bows and arrows, lassos, and trap-making tools. They were on two missions.

First, kill or drive away the "giants" that are destroying the village.

Secondly, they brought a living "giant" as a gift to the prince who had just turned one month old.

"Looks like I've been overthinking it."

Watching the team leave, Lin Yi nodded as if he understood something: "We can't expect every world to have the same background as World Zero. Rather, the birth of gunpowder weapons in World Zero was just one of many coincidences. When something unexpected happens, they will still rely on their swords like wild animals rely on their claws and teeth, rather than increasing their research and investment in gunpowder weapons."

[Correct judgment]

"That being said, we still need to make some preparations."

He stood up from his window seat, muttering to himself. When his right hand came out of his pocket, a "manufacturing blueprint" written on parchment, a material unique to this world, appeared in his hand: "Hmm, I trust steam more than gunpowder."

—Whether it's its threat or its potential.

Forbidden Zone of Life: Chapter 74 Giants (3)

It has been exactly one month since the first appearance of the Titans in this world, and news of the results of the Titan extermination team that appeared from the capital a dozen days ago has also been sent.

"Entangled in a fierce battle."

Considering this concise and to-the-point reply, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile: "Very good, very powerful."

As someone who personally created Titans, Lin Yi was all too aware of the destructive power they could unleash. Let alone a mere few hundred people with outdated equipment, even if the number of people increased tenfold, the outcome would likely be the same—of course, if they could withstand more than 80% casualties and chose to fight by "overpowering the Titans," that would be a different story.

It's obvious that soldiers in this era wouldn't have this kind of awareness, and even if they did, they wouldn't know that Titans can't be digested. So there's only one possible outcome. As for why we're now facing this "bitter struggle" situation...

"Some things are different between different worlds, but some things remain the same."

That being said, because of the reports from the front lines, Lin Yi was unable to repeat the actions of the Kabane world as planned. He simply changed his identity and approached those in high positions of power to provide them with a way to fight against the "Titans." After all, the background of World Three was that the Kabane were constantly invading human territory, to the point that the existence of humanity was in imminent danger. Now, for most people in this country, the Titans were just a fabricated lie by a small group, and there was no need for an "outsider" to interfere.

Shaking his head, Lin Yi decided to continue waiting, but he also took the time to keep an eye on the progress of World Three.

As the largest potion production base in the God Realm and the world with the most complete control, it is the ruling institution of a small piece of land in Japan: the Shogunate.

Since the expeditionary force led by Amaterasu Mima failed, the shogunate has steadfastly maintained a defensive posture in northern Japan. Apart from extensively constructing walls and iron fortresses to defend against the Kabane, it has taken no other action. As for southern Japan, which has been occupied by the Kabane... let whoever wants to go there go.

Incredibly, the ruling regime ultimately adopted a response that resembled self-abandonment. On the one hand, it neither took the initiative to reclaim the southern lands, nor did it resist those who were unwilling to remain trapped in the north, or who wanted revenge against the Kabane, or who wanted to profit from the ruins of the south, from leaving the city.

However, upon reflection, this behavior of the shogunate can be understood. Although they are unwilling to leave the safe north, it does not mean that the Kabane in the south will remain stationary. Those "adventurers" who step into the south of Japan can reduce the number of Kabane to a limited extent and reduce the pressure that future towns may face. On the other hand, they can also bring valuable intelligence.

It's important to understand that if a "black smoke" were to appear around a town post station, it would be devastating. Therefore, the more information the better. In such cases, the sudden appearance of "adventurers" perfectly met the needs of the shogunate. This resulted in those who left the town post station being subject to extremely strict checks upon their return, but at the same time, they were welcomed by the shogunate.

Against this backdrop, the reincarnators who take it upon themselves to kill Kabane to earn reward points, as well as the newly selected candidates, have ushered in a golden age. They are currently being systematically selected and strengthened in the God's plan. It is believed that soon the "ants" that Lin Yi truly needs, which can be used to plunder and consume other worlds, will be born in large quantities. Only at that stage can the God's Space be called a true "God's Space".

Therefore, Lin Yi must calm down and continue his plan in this world number six...

Fortunately, Lin Yi's wait was not too long. After he took some time to run to another city not far south of the capital and "created" more than a dozen experimental subjects, the authenticity and destructive power of the "giants" were thoroughly recognized by the people living in this decadent imperial capital.

Their height of over ten meters allows them to ignore more than 98% of the means of combat used by humans in this world, whether it's slashing with swords, shooting with bows and arrows, or ramming with lances—can you expect to kill a person by attacking their feet?

Even the towering walls that the empire had built during its long period of peace proved utterly ineffective against these enemies who defied conventional wisdom.

Their upright height far exceeded that of the city wall's towers, and some of the lower sections were even easily crossed by relatively tall giants. Given this stark contrast, failure—and the disastrous outcome—was entirely predictable.

"...The city walls have been breached, and of the more than 70,000 residents inside, only about 20,000 have been gathered so far. The others may have hidden, but it's more likely they've already been eaten by giants—this is the news that just came from the expeditionary force. They were already routed a week ago, but the legion commander who took on this mission refused to bear His Majesty the King's wrath and forcibly suppressed the situation."

Upon receiving the intelligence report and reading its contents, the knight gritted his teeth: "They should all be sent to the gallows!"

—A report on the Titans.

They range in height from three to seventeen meters, feed only on humans, and do not react to any other creatures.

Attacks were ineffective, defenses were ineffective, traps were ineffective...

……

……

……

We failed, we're doomed!

"Notify the cavalry to assemble at the south gate immediately!"

"I'm sorry, Commander, they refuse all orders to leave the city."

"what are you saying?!"

"They are willing to give their lives for the king and victory, but not to die meaninglessly... We have no way to deal with those giants. If we leave the protection of this wall, we will either be trampled to death or bitten to death and eaten. It is completely pointless!"

"..."

A terrifying silence began to spread.

How do we deal with the giants?

The same question lingered in everyone's mind. News of the fall of cities and villages in the south kept coming as the giants approached. No matter how many soldiers the enraged king sent out, or how powerful the legion was, it was all in vain. Apart from slowing down the giants' advance during their slaughter, they hadn't even managed to kill a single giant so far.

They knew nothing about these suddenly appearing giant creatures, so much so that when their palms came down on their heads, they were helpless except for fear and trembling, until a Belnor soldier spoke up.

“We can use gunpowder—I mean cannons! The kind mounted on the city walls; their power would definitely be enough to kill a giant!”

Unlike the others who were filled with anxiety, this soldier felt a surge of excitement for the upcoming battle, which had previously only existed in rumors. He was also quicker than the others to realize that humanity only possessed 2% of the means to deal with Titans. If history were to unfold normally, humanity, having received this warning, would achieve its first success after making enormous sacrifices. According to Lin Yi's calculations, the dozens of arquebuses mounted on the Empire's thirteen-meter-high city walls would still be able to inflict damage on Titans smaller than ten meters.

Subsequently, humanity, having suffered immense casualties, devoted itself to developing the only technology capable of killing giants. Gunpowder weapons thus entered a golden age of development, evolving from stationary iron cannons to mobile cross-country guns, from direct-fire cannons to artillery... and even the future missiles and nuclear bombs remain unknown.

However, there exists a person in this world who does not exist in the historical record, so all of this is destined to be impossible.

"Poor accuracy, high cost, and inconvenient to move. Most importantly—"

Holding the world's first 3D Maneuver Gear, Lin Yi stood before the legion commander who was racking his brains for a way to deal with the Titans, and smiled: "It is simply no match for all the Titans that are about to arrive."
