Main God Creation Rules

Nanoha Takamachi was visibly taken aback by the unexpected response, but she did not give an answer easily. Instead, she thought for a while before replying in a cautious tone: "If it is simply a mistake, then it is definitely not something that can be done."

"Is...that so..."

"However, if this matter is extremely important to Eve-chan, then let's be prepared to bear the consequences of this mistake. Rather than regretting the right decision in the future, let's make up for the wrong decision now. Maybe many painful things will happen in the future because of this mistake, but at least Eve-chan has tried her best, right?"

Looking directly into the mage's gentle face, the girl fell into a long silence, finally responding with a short but firm nod: "I understand."

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

What is right, and what is wrong?

There is no detailed explanation of this logical judgment in the individual named Eve, because from the moment she was born, she was destined not to exist with the concept of "self" as the center. If there is no self, where does the concept of good and evil come from?

The individual named "Eve" exists entirely around the "father" who created her.

This face, this body, even this incomplete heart are all the same. In that case, everything can be centered around "father", right?

What is beneficial to "Father" is goodness and rightness, and what is detrimental to "Father" is evil and wrongness. Holding onto this seemingly self-evident idea, the individual named Eve has continued to this day... until she discovers that she is not "perfect" in the present.

This is an "evil" and a "mistake" that should absolutely never happen.

The "father" created by Our Lady of the Rosary only needs a "perfect" version of himself. So, naturally, an imperfect version of oneself is not needed, and what right does an unneeded version have to be considered "correct"?

"I was wrong."

After leaving the world of N Realm, the girl clearly realized this, and from this point on, everything she had built for her "father" began to collapse.

Only a perfect "Alice" can do perfect things in a perfect manner, so what an imperfect self can do is naturally flawed and wrong—even thinking about this matter is flawed.

"The error should be corrected."

Just like her "father's" long-held belief, the girl had the idea of ​​eliminating herself the moment she realized that she was not perfect, but she was quickly stopped: not from the fear of "death", but from the fear of another "self".

There can only be one perfect "Alice," so if one of you disappears, another version of yourself can become "Alice"...

"...Alice who does not belong to 'Father'."

Yes, Alice belongs to "another father," not to "the father."

That's also wrong.

It is wrong for myself to exist, and it is also wrong for myself not to exist.

An extremely ironic thing happened: when logic became chaotic, the girl's true "self" was born, named Eve, who had to make a choice: between two mistakes.

The girl, whose "self" has just been born, has no way to judge, so she can only search for answers through monotonous and repetitive thinking, until she sees another possibility from the outside when she is on the verge of collapse.

"However, if this matter is extremely important to Eve-chan, then let's be prepared to bear the consequences of this mistake. Rather than regretting the right decision in the future, let's make up for the wrong decision now. Maybe many painful things will happen in the future because of this mistake, but at least Eve-chan has tried her best, right?"

It's a self-contradictory proposition, but isn't it just like who I am now?

When the girl accepted this flawed logic, she was surprised to find that she did not reject it, and even took it for granted to replace the various objects in it.

"This is wrong for 'father'... but if we can correct this mistake and turn it into the right one, then it is right."

She found the answer.

How is Eve doing?

"Everything is fine, Father."

—Except for myself.

As usual, the "father" who had received a reply immediately cut off the contact, leaving the girl stunned.

"...Everything is fine, my dear father...Wu Lingba 5 Phosphorus 936."

The perfect 'Alice' is destined to be perfect, so the concept of deception is not allowed to exist. But if it is the imperfect 'Eve', then it is okay to make a small mistake, right?

“No problem, Father. Soon, very soon, I will become the only truly ‘perfect’ who belongs to you…”

The words that sink into darkness slowly set the stage for another "war".

Time and Space Administration: Chapter 471 Veneto

Alta Galaxy, Soma Star.

The capital city, Sorenso.

In the bustling city, two mages disguised as members of a branch of the Black Iron Clan blended in. Unlike what the passersby saw, the two mages, separated by a considerable distance, were conversing in a way that the passersby could not understand. Their conversation ranged from the highly classified information about the new fleet being built on this planet Soma to which roadside vendors sold "specialties" that suited their tastes.

To outsiders, this might sound incredibly unbelievable, but to the mages from another world—the Time and Space Administration—it was perfectly normal. On this nascent civilization planet that had just entered the era of interstellar colonization, the so-called "secrets" were no different from the food sold at roadside stalls in their eyes. If it weren't for their mission, the two mages wouldn't even have the mind to stay on this planet.

This situation might improve once the civilization on this planet joins the Time and Space Administration or two powerful mages are born, like in the 105th Dimensional World, but for now, these two mages have every reason to despise them.

Imagine that everything on this planet is no secret to you, yet your existence is completely inaccessible to it. The so-called "law" is meaningless to you. On the contrary, you could easily kill everyone around you if you wanted to, without any consequences. In this comparison, would you still consider them your own kind?

Perhaps someone could do that, but these two mages, who were only stationed here because of their appointment by the Time and Space Administration, could never reach such a "saintly" level. So, on the one hand, they were infiltrating this planet to await new orders from the headquarters, and on the other hand, they were living here in a superior manner.

To the unsuspecting, this posture might just seem a bit too "cringey," but to those already aware of their existence, it's practically like—

"seek death."

Setting down his coffee and pursing his lips, Vittorio Veneto delivered a conclusion that immediately garnered widespread approval.

"The boss is right."

"Whatever the boss says is right!"

"The Big Sister is the best in the world!"

……

Ignoring the slackers behind him who were shouting "666," he asked Leo Veneto to send a message to another "comrade-in-arms" in his group.

"We are all ready, we just need you, Richelieu."

After a moment of silence on the other end of the communication, a spirited voice came through: "It's me waiting for you, little one."

Perhaps it was a taboo subject, for the girl frowned slightly: "...Whether it's small or not, let's see on the battlefield."

Beyond the vast starry sky, Richelieu, who received the last communication from Veneto, did not truly underestimate this girl who was both an "opponent (a historical legacy of the template loaded by the automaton)" and a "teammate." On the contrary, he kept his attention on her at all times, a scene noticed by another companion who stayed by her side.

Qi Ling (8) ⑤si tumor scar Qi VII "Do you care about her, Richelieu?"

"Yes... since the 'Supreme Will' can grant us such great power, then she should be no exception."

"But even so, you should be able to defeat her."

The girl gently shook her head: "'Supreme Will' forbids us from fighting... Even if it weren't forbidding it, given our current strength, we might not be able to defeat her."

Where the "line of sight" gazes, the steel behemoth stretching across the starry sky slowly bares its "fangs".

Inside the several-meter-wide barrel, the solid metal projectile was pushed in layer by layer through the internal program. The originally inefficient gunpowder was replaced by a magnetic field converted by electric current. With the input of a large amount of energy in the reactor, the huge metal projectile disappeared into the distance the moment it was fired from the barrel. After a while, a "faint light" appeared on the blue planet at the end.

Vector Accelerator - Type 1

A basic weapon that uses solid metal as its weapon and electromagnetic power as its propulsion, mounted on an "automatic humanoid". Because it is launched from space, it does not need to consider air resistance and can reach a speed of nearly 12000 m/s in an instant. At this speed, the automatic humanoid successfully switched from the "naval warfare" mode of World 4 to the current "air warfare" mode... Of course, not in the sky, but in space.

The first vector-accelerated shell was merely a probe. After confirming that there were no effective means of resistance on this planet, not only Veneto, who served as the flagship of the first fleet, but also Antoleya, who was shouting "666" behind her, Camicia and Aviel also opened fire one after another.

The other side of the Alta Galaxy.

Noticing that his "teammates" in the distance had already opened fire, Richelieu took a deep breath: "Riceleu, attack!"

Unlike the attack pattern of the First Fleet in the distance, what appeared alongside Richelieu's will were beams of red lasers that traced dreamlike trajectories in the dark space before finally plunging into the "embrace" of the same planet.

Energy Compressor - Type 1

Considering the physical law that shorter wavelengths have higher energy, red lasers should be the least desirable type of light. However, since the application of this system to interstellar warfare is still in its early stages, the wavelength of red lasers was ultimately adopted.

Even the weakest form of light, when subjected to high-powered energy output, unleashed terrifyingly high temperatures that life could not withstand. A single laser beam leaving a "black spot" on the planet's surface was quickly reduced to a dead zone. With the final attack—a massive wave sweeping across the ocean and engulfing the land—the civilization known as "Soma" was completely wiped out of the universe.

Soon, colonization modules from "Platinum Star" will arrive on this planet, and like the old planet Daedalus, they will build a more powerful new civilization on the ruins of this old civilization... In a sense, this can also be considered evolution?

But before he could actually do that, Veneto needed to deal with two resilient "rats" on the planet.

Unlike the Soma aliens who were helpless and disappeared under the attack of various space-class weapons, the two mages who possessed magical technology noticed Veneto's presence almost as soon as she launched her attack. After quickly sending a message to the Time and Space Administration, they began their own path to survival.

The city was destroyed, they fled to the wilderness; the wilderness was burned, they fled to the sea; the sea was overturned, they flew into the sky—

"Calling them rats is not an exaggeration at all."

Looking coldly at the two mages on the screen, even though he was unwilling, Veneto could only seek help from another part of the "automaton" that also came from the "highest will".

P.S.: This is dedicated to the soon-to-be-defunct Kantai Collection.

Time and Space Administration: Chapter 472 Coercion

"Using interstellar weapons against a habitable planet—have they gone mad?!"

They awkwardly dodged the rolling heatwave in the distance; within their field of vision, the mages could hardly find a place to hide.

From the perspective of outer space, even the most powerful weapon, unless it is an anti-planet weapon of the level of "Rainbow Cannon", is just a "point" when it is fired. However, if this "point" is magnified to the surface of a planet, it will be an area of ​​tens or hundreds of miles. Even if a nuclear bomb is dropped on the ground, it is just a "point", let alone dozens or hundreds of them?

At this moment, the mage completely forgot about the existence of the "Rainbow Cannon," his mind filled with condemnation and anger towards the attacker... He himself may not even be aware that his anger was not caused by the victim, but entirely by his own experience.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, the mage had to face reality: he was in danger, on a planet with a low level of civilization.

The orbital attacks from outer space have stopped, but the mages feel no sense of security whatsoever.

After the orbital attack ceased, the sky was filled with many "meteors" trailing long flames. Only a fool would actually believe they were meteors. A mage like him was no fool, so he wisely chose to stay away.

As people grow older, they tend to feel that their environment is too narrow, and this applies to mages as well.

For the Soma aliens, this planet is so vast that they could never see it all in their lifetime. But for mages with the ability to fly and teleport, this planet doesn't even have a place where they can escape.

In the end, he was caught up.

The one who caught up with him was a robot... or rather, a "human" wearing armor similar to an exoskeleton, with a much more complete coverage than a simple skeletal armor, but far less than a fully covered Gundam.

The mage's imagined attempt to persuade him to surrender did not materialize. Almost the instant he spotted him, this expressionless "human" (whose face was unarmored) simply raised his weapon—a small electromagnetic cannon over a meter long—and pulled the trigger.

Throughout the entire process, she didn't hesitate for even a moment.

Forced into a corner, the mage hastily engaged in battle. Thanks to the magical technology from Midcherda, which combined magic and technology, the mage did not fall into a disadvantageous position. In fact, he even gained a certain advantage by taking advantage of the opponent's unfamiliarity with magical technology. However, that was all he could do. When the second automaton appeared, the mage could only remain undefeated. He struggled to maintain his position against the third. The fourth, the fifth... When the sixth one, which was hiding in the shadows, launched an attack, the mage was hit by a plasma cannon and turned to ashes without even leaving a last word.

Meanwhile, the other escaped mage also failed to create a miracle. Although he caused the loss of two automatons, he was also killed without any doubt when the automatons that came to surround and attack him arrived later.

Thus, along with the other twelve civilized planets, all the "forces" that the Time and Space Administration had spread and interfered with in the southern part of the solar system were declared extinct, and a new civilization calling itself the "Platinum Race" gradually rose to prominence in their place.

The Time and Space Administration also attempted to make contact with this newly formed and clearly hostile civilization, but naturally received no response. After the enemy fully exposed its fangs, it also readily accepted the challenge. When the two sides went to war along a non-existent "boundary line," the Black Iron Clan, who had almost completely become vassals of the Time and Space Administration, also ushered in their new "fate."

"Fighting for justice?"

When Vinos heard these words from the mage before him, he thought he had misheard, but the mage continued to repeat them as if he were oblivious: "For the sake of world peace, the Platinum Clan has replaced the Silver and Bronze Clan as the human race—including the Time and Space Administration and the Black Iron Clan's enemies. Only by eliminating them can this world be restored to peace."

"Therefore, the Black Iron Clan cannot rely solely on the contributions of the Time and Space Administration. After all, you have not yet joined us. So when the Time and Space Administration is fighting, the Black Iron Clan also needs to provide corresponding strength, which could be a fleet or resources. Of course, our proposal is the third option."

"...You want Edge?"

"If you're referring to that 'Hero Clan,' I admit that individual possesses power far exceeding that of this world. This power holds extraordinary significance for the Time and Space Administration. If you could hand him over to us, imagine how quickly the Time and Space Administration's technology could unlock the Hero Clan's powerful secret. With this secret, both the Platinum Clan and the Silver Clan could be easily defeated."

Seeing Venus's indifferent expression, the mage had no choice but to speak again: "Even if it doesn't work, its existence can still be a reason for us to persuade those stubborn elements in the headquarters."

“Stubborn tumor zero emu two (| three)? Si b [a dad ④ group? You do not fully support this decision.”

"Yes, the larger the organization, the more likely it is to have this kind of flaw... Let me just tell you this: in the dimensional worlds managed by the Time and Space Administration, there are nearly ten similar to this world, and below them are hundreds of civilized worlds."

"Under these circumstances, do you still expect to confront us?"

"..."

"Be rational, Princess of the Black Iron Clan. We are not destroyers or plunderers like the Bronze Clan. We are partners—you provide resources, we provide power. Isn't this the best way to get along? Look how much the Black Iron Clan's situation has improved since our arrival. You have reclaimed your homeland and no longer have to live in the shadow of the Bronze Clan. Even the Silver Clan dares not easily set foot in your territory, all because our fleet is stationed in your star system. Isn't all of this enough to prove it?"

"Continuing with your stagnant attitude won't benefit either the Black Iron Clan or the Time and Space Administration. We're alright, at most we'll just have to wait a few more days, but what about you?"

Noticing the mage's statement, Venus frowned: "Sir, what do you mean by that?"

"No matter what world it is, the people at the bottom are always 'clever.' They don't have many entanglements; they will choose whoever can bring them tangible benefits. Now, compared to a human princess who can't bring anything at all, isn't it already predetermined who they will choose?"

Faced with the mage's irrefutable words, Venus's inner resolve crumbled little by little.

Things wouldn't have gotten this bad originally, but aside from the reactions from outsiders, even many of his long-time loyalists began to waver. Most importantly—

"...Edge, it's been a long time since he's come back."

Time and Space Administration: Chapter 473 Contradictory Cycle

"Search for the Dark Iron Clan's 'hero'?"

When she received the mission from headquarters, Nanoha Takamachi was completely dumbfounded and instinctively asked, "A hero?!"
