Main God Creation Rules

When the shadows enveloped the ground where he stood, Shinnosuke Kita instinctively looked up—just as a person in the dark, illuminated by a bright light, would instinctively look towards the source of the light.

When Shinnosuke Kita looked directly at the source of the shadow, he had already lost his last chance to escape.

"Clang—"

[Number 031, lifeless]

Watching the crimson stain spreading below, Lin Yi seemed to understand: "...Instead of wasting energy on punishment, it's better to just resolve the issue directly."

He paused, then continued, "God, don't you have any means to actively eliminate these eliminated beings? Like a bolt of lightning from the sky, or something to suddenly set their bodies ablaze..."

Energy expenditure is disproportionate to the gains.

"What's a simpler approach, like stopping their hearts?"

[Current conditions do not allow for implementation]

"Okay... at least give me an accurate number. I can't keep creating 'accidents' like this every time. Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, it will definitely be discovered."

[Energy Reserve for Eliminating Demand: 500000]

Glancing at the value of just over 30,000 in the upper left corner of his vision, Lin Yi felt a deep sense of responsibility and knew he had a long way to go. At the same time, another question arose in his mind: "Although I feel it's a bit early to bring this up now, how did you obtain this energy? You can't have been passively absorbing it all along, can you? That's far too inefficient."

Based on the conversion ratio, the energy required for one world travel is roughly the total amount of energy passively absorbed by the main god for nearly a month, and that's the amount for one person. If it were really to build a huge world travel organization, such a small amount of reserve energy wouldn't even be enough to raise the "starting capital".

As if it had been prepared all along, the main god quickly gave an answer upon hearing the question.

[1. Passive absorption: Depending on the concentration of active energy in the world, varying amounts of energy can be absorbed within the same unit of time.]

[2. Active plundering: By taking actions that belong to the reincarnators of the Main God Space, a large amount of energy can be obtained from the world's interior.]

[3. Forced interference...data missing]

With a twitch at the corner of his mouth, Lin Yi looked at the "Data Missing" sign, which was specially marked in bold red, and sighed helplessly: "So, the only thing we can count on now is the first two, right?"

[Correct judgment]

"In that case, you might as well go back obediently."

Lin Yi slung the crossbow back over his shoulder and, as he determined his direction, strolled toward the campus, while simultaneously checking on the condition of the group of stranded survivors through the main god.

[Numbers 004, 008, 013, 017, and 019 survived]

"The consumption rate is a bit high..."

Of the eleven people who remained, only five survived; the mortality rate had unknowingly exceeded half.

However, there was another piece of news that surprised Lin Yi even more.

[A new survivor has been identified. Should they be added to the candidate list?]

"A new survivor?"

Stopping in his tracks, Lin Yi, who could hear the source of the loud noise as the distance closed, immediately deduced who the new survivors the God was referring to were.

"That explains why we could hear it from so far away; it turns out they were using the school's public address system to distract the zombies..."

Looking at the numerous undead creatures around him, squeezing out from the corners and crawling on their hands and feet while unconsciously roaring in the same direction, Lin Yi could roughly understand why the group of survivors who were "waiting for the rabbit to come to the tree stump" outside the campus suffered heavy casualties, while the survivors inside the campus were able to escape alive.

"Add them to the candidate list."

There is no need for much hesitation. Although the actions of the survivors on campus have led to the deaths of more candidates, the current elimination process is ultimately aimed at selecting a small number of qualified candidates. It is inevitable that most of them will die during the selection process, and even if they do not die at the hands of the undead, they are destined to die at the hands of other survivors who are also candidates.

From the moment they heard the voice of the "God," their fate was sealed.

Prototype: Chapter 11, First Evolver

Long before deciding to spread the T-virus, Lin Yi had received a lot of information from the Main God about the possible consequences of spreading the virus.

Firstly, regarding the virus infection and the emergence of zombies—there are both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the old world order will be disrupted, and he won't need to carefully conceal his existence as before. You see, in a modern city, it's quite difficult for someone without any identification to avoid revealing their "illegal status," let alone actually take any action.

The downsides are obvious: a parallel world that they had finally found as a resource reserve point was destroyed. At first, Lin Yi thought it would only affect the area of ​​Bed City, but according to the God, it could very likely turn into a global disaster.

However, aside from the problems caused by the emergence of zombies, the spread of the T-virus will also bring another positive impact...

"That's the evolved form?"

When Lin Yi witnessed a girl in a school uniform using a military shovel to crack open the head of a charging, menacing zombie, she was a little dumbfounded. To put it simply, the scene was completely out of place...

Fortunately, the information provided by the main god allowed him to quickly realize: "A successful case of genetic modification of the T-virus?"

Faced with Lin Yi's doubts, the Supreme God gave his own judgment.

[87% probability of being an evolved form of the T-virus]

"Do not……"

Watching the other party slaughtering through the zombies, Lin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly: "If this isn't an evolved form, it's just too unscientific. Given a woman's innate physical abilities, there's no way she could do that."

Indeed, with proper preparation, even an ordinary person can defeat mindless zombies using various tools. However, this doesn't mean they can go on a rampage through hordes of zombies. After all, even a small wound can lead to a high infection rate. The most basic requirement for fighting these zombies is to avoid injury, which obviously limits the effectiveness of many tactics.

The "peerless girl" who appeared at this moment clearly overturned Lin Yi's previous impression of the survivors. The most obvious examples were Sada Kima and Amu Michifumi, who were previously regarded by Lin Yi as excellent candidates.

Even those with strength values ​​generally exceeding those of normal people couldn't match the level of that girl in the school uniform when facing zombies. Roughly estimating, Lin Yi figured her strength was at least around 20 points. In stark contrast, her body—at least Lin Yi didn't see any bulging muscles.

"I thought the first evolved being would be male."

Although it was a bit strange, Lin Yi didn't delve too deeply into it. Instead, he asked the main god, "Has the attribute detection been confirmed?"

The main god did not give a direct answer, but instead listed a line of values ​​in the upper left corner of Lin Yi's field of vision.

Hui Feixu Ze Hu Tao (T-virus Evolver)

No.: 032

Power: 19

System: 12

Agility: 21

Spirit: 13

"Emphasis on agility and strength..."

After glancing at the survivors in the distance who had basically evacuated after killing all the approaching zombies, Lin Yi made up his mind.

"Begin issuing the tasks for the next phase."

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

Because of the sudden activation of the campus broadcast system, the survivor organization, which was originally stationed outside the campus gate and only needed to deal with a small number of zombies rushing out, suffered an unexpected blow.

Not only the zombies inside the school, but even those originally outside the school rushed towards the school after hearing the announcement. Survivors who were near the school gate were the first to be hit. In the chaos, less than half of the survivors managed to escape before the zombies flooded the school, but most of them completely disappeared into the crowded "people". It would be impossible for Sadamoto not to be furious at this scene.

"Damn it, don't let me find out who did this!"

The repeated failures of the plan had driven the team leader to the brink of madness. So when a lingering survivor warned him that someone was approaching in the distance, he simply picked up his blood-stained axe and strode forward.

Since all the zombies in the vicinity had been attracted to the school, Sadagi didn't need to worry about that. He shouted menacingly at the three girls approaching from the opposite side, "Who turned on the radio?!"

It was clear that two of them were visibly intimidated when facing the survivor who was carrying a weapon and had a terrifying expression, and they subconsciously showed fear. However, the one standing at the front stepped forward without hesitation and stood in front of Sadamoto: "It's me!"

Normally, Sadamoto would have picked up an axe and smashed it over the head of this reckless girl. However, as one of the few survivors who had lived to this point and even become the leader of the group, Sadamoto noticed the military shovel in the girl's hand, which was also stained with red and white substances, and their disheveled appearance...

Do you know what you've done?

His tone was still menacing, but Sadamoto loosened his grip on the axe slightly: "Because you guys broadcast that damned message, more than twenty of our people have died!"

Without any psychological burden, Sadamitsu categorized the escaped survivors as "victims," ​​even though he was unaware that they had indeed become victims.

"If you hadn't attracted the zombies, we wouldn't have turned on the broadcast!"

As she answered, the purple-haired girl still had a hint of indignation on her face: "Because of the urgency, we even left the food and medicine we had finally found at the academy."

“That kid did it himself, I didn’t tell him to do it.” Sadamitsu, immediately disclaiming any involvement, didn’t approach further, but stood still, waiting for the other survivors to approach: “Where is he now?”

"They should still be on campus."

Another student answered Sadamoto's question, glancing hesitantly towards the still chaotic campus. A large number of zombies were crammed inside, trying to climb the wall where the loudspeaker was located, only to fall down like dumplings being dropped into a pot. The survival rate among such a dense concentration of zombies was predictably low.

"Sorry, we didn't have time at the time, we could only escape before the zombies rushed in..."

"No need to apologize, Yuri! It was their fault to begin with."

As she said this, the purple-haired girl angrily slammed the military shovel in her hand to the ground. Sadamoto, who was keeping a close eye on her, noticed a detail—the depth to which the military shovel sank into the ground.

"They are dead."

The survivor leader, who had changed his mind, extended an invitation: "We're going to the survivor camp now, would you like to come along?"

"Eh?"

Not only the three girls opposite them, but even the four remaining survivors around them showed signs of dissatisfaction. To this, Sada Kimi simply explained, "The more people there are, the better our chances are. We can't get that far on our own."

"Okay, but we won't join your team."

In the end, it was the purple-haired girl with the military shovel who stepped forward again: "We will decide our own actions."

It seems the survivors' earlier attempt to force one of them to enter the academy caused their resentment. Surprisingly, Sadamita didn't insist on this condition, instead introducing himself: "My name is Sadamita, and I'm currently the leader of this group. And you?"

The purple-haired girl, "Huifei Xuze Hutao," holding a military shovel, still spoke in an unfriendly tone.

The brown-haired girl who answered earlier had a relatively gentle expression, but she was still wary.

"That... that..."

Finally, it was the pink-haired girl with shifty eyes: "...Takeya Yuki"

It was at this moment that the eight survivors present simultaneously heard that "voice".

Main Quest: Arrive at the Survivor Camp

Prototype: Chapter 12 Doubt

Main Quest: Arrive at the Survivor Camp

[Success Reward: 100 points]

[Failure Penalty: 30 minutes of mental interference in Phase One]

[Time Limit: 24 hours]

Like the previous survivors, the three girls who had just escaped from the academy reacted similarly after coming into contact with the existence of the [God]. Without exception, they all faced the mission with distrust. It is only human nature that no one wants to have someone who can control their actions at will when their lives are already in danger.

However, when they witnessed a survivor being punished for not killing enough zombies, the scene successfully shocked them.

"Is the device really filthy and deadly (six)? Is Qi Qi there... that [Main God]?"

Having distanced themselves from Sadamitsu's group of survivors, Takeya Yuki, who was following behind, suddenly asked, her expression filled with fear and worry about the unknown: "What if we end up like that too...?"

"Don't worry, I will protect you!"

Wielding her military shovel with all her might, Ebisu Kurumi, walking at the front of the group, reassured them, "Whoever wants to do anything to Yuki will have to ask my shovel first!"

"Hey hey hey..."

"Aren't you curious about something else?"

Turning to the side, Ebisu Kurumi looked at Wakasa Yuri, who served as the "strategist" in the group, with a puzzled expression: "Curious?"

“That’s right… First the virus suddenly broke out, and then this [God] suddenly appeared. It’s hard not to connect the two.”

"Maybe it's just a prank."

Even with the general's shovel slung over his shoulder, Hui Feixu Ze Hu Tao was still able to maintain a relatively optimistic attitude: "That [main god] thing."

"But that person didn't seem to be acting..."

Yuki Takeya secretly glanced at the pale-faced survivor at the very back of the line. The pain that had suddenly appeared on the survivor's face was still vivid in her mind.

Yuri Wakasa shares the same view: "If it were just a prank, they wouldn't have gone that far. They came to the vicinity of the school to complete a mission, and it's a fact that many people died in the previous zombie attacks."

"So—even if that thing called the 'God' really exists, does that mean we have to complete every single task it gives us?"

Gritting her teeth, Hui Feixu Ze Hu Tao said firmly, "No matter what, I will not accept such a thing!"

Yuki Takeya and Yuri Wakasa exchanged a glance, seeing the same worry in each other's eyes. However, given their current situation, they couldn't voice it, so they could only comfort each other, saying, "The mission doesn't conflict with our goals right now, so let's just observe for the time being."

Meanwhile, the five survivors at the front were also having a quiet discussion about their attitude towards the three newcomers behind them.

"Don't tell me you're scared?"

With one arm hanging limply across his chest, Anmo Sanshi walked to the front to Sadamoto, looking at the three girls behind him with a sinister gaze as he spoke in a gloomy tone.
