Now, I truly felt that such a world stood in the void.
Lilith's eyes lit up. She had a weak hypothesis about the anime and game world, and now, the reason why the game world or the anime world has become a real world has been verified because many people have witnessed this world.
This is attributed to the observer effect: observation equals existence; something only truly exists if it is observed by a sufficient number of people.
Now, Lilith has a new theory: many comics gain popularity when they are first serialized, and logically, at this point, the comic's worldview has formed an independent world.
However, as is well known, power levels often become inconsistent in the later stages of a manga, and the early and later stages of a manga are often completely unrelated.
Before the comic continues to be serialized until its conclusion, will the world created by the comic be continuously updated as the serialization progresses, or will a new world be created every time a new setting is added?
Lilith was unsure, and this naturally needed to be verified, so she immediately confirmed the world coordinates of the [small world] that had been created due to being observed by everyone, and used the power of the main god to directly enter that world.
There is no concept of distance or time between worlds. Perhaps it took an incredibly long time, or perhaps only a moment. Lilith's vision went black for a moment, and when the light came again, she arrived in a new world.
Upon arriving in this world, Lilith immediately spread her senses outwards, and soon her senses covered the entire world, leaving everyone completely bewildered.
Unlike the traditional flat-earth concept, this world is actually a complete planet. Lilith quickly realized that because this concept wasn't explained, players automatically treated the small world as a complete planet.
After all, most comics are set on planets, and later on, they even include aliens, which is understandable.
Continuing to explore this world, Lilith discovers that there exists a god in this world. This god is exactly the same as the one Lilith appeared in in the small world. Because of the CG, the player knows that there is a god in the small world.
Players only know that it is a god, but they don't know what kind of god it is, how powerful it is, or what powers it has. So this god is just an empty shell, or rather... a puppet.
Chapter 199: Absorbing Authority and Ideas
Lilith casually summoned the deity before her. This creature had the same appearance as Lilith, but its eyes were empty.
The reason for this is that, in the eyes of players, the gods are merely a background element in the story. They certainly exist, but their personalities and preferences are completely unknown. This lack of understanding, under the influence of the observer effect, creates a god who appears like a puppet in front of them.
Lilith could sense that the thing in front of her was probably still playing a regulatory role in this world. It had no self-awareness, but like an automatic program, it was the core of maintaining balance by preventing gaps or collapse in the ecosystem of the planet below.
"Theoretically, this guy is me, so I should be able to absorb him..." Lilith murmured, looking at herself, who was motionless like a puppet.
Without any hesitation, once the idea came to mind, I immediately took action.
First, he reached out and touched the one that looked exactly like him. When they made contact, they strangely overlapped.
"It really works!"
Lilith's eyes lit up. Just like putting on clothes, she made her other self perfectly overlap with her own. The next moment, a piece of information suddenly appeared in her mind.
This information was incredibly vast, enough to overwhelm the brain of any living being, yet Lilith understood it clearly, organized it, and summarized it, ultimately arriving at a concept:
[Phase]
This is the power that Lilith in this world possesses, responsible for maintaining the seasons and the alternation of the sun and moon to ensure that no condition deviates from its original trajectory. She uses this power to maintain the balance of the world, and it is because of this power that Lilith in this world can be called a god.
However, powers are divided into supreme, high, middle and low from high to low. Lilith possesses a supreme power [entropy return], which can bring everything to its end, so she is the supreme god.
[Phase] is merely a lower-level power, capable of maintaining the existence of a lower-level deity, but in Lilith's hands, its function is negligible.
However, after obtaining the [Phase], Lilith was indeed enhanced. Although it was insignificant compared to the overwhelming power, it gave Lilith a direction to become stronger.
It means frequently appearing in front of players, supplementing its own settings, and giving gods in a world based on the observer effect higher powers.
Currently, Lilith can only obtain the lower-level power [Phase]. Next time, she might be able to obtain the middle-level, upper-level, or even the supreme power [Order], becoming a supreme god with the dual supreme powers of [Entropy Return] and [Order]!
"Hehehe, this way, even if Steve stands in front of me, I won't be afraid at all!" Thinking of this, Lilith couldn't help but start fantasizing.
The scene of punching and kicking Steve seems to be beckoning, and all that's needed is to frequently appear in front of the player and add new settings for himself.
But a new problem arises: if Lilith suddenly appears in front of the players without any reason and then explains the setting, will the players really accept it?
Why not create a major event and have players passively participate, like... a war?
How then should a war be started, whether through the struggle for resources or religious factors?
After some thought, Lilith realized that the most suitable method was religion, allowing orcs, dwarves, demons, and elves to each have their own gods. The wars that broke out due to differences in religious beliefs would make the images of the gods more three-dimensional.
In this way, Lilith can gain five powers at once, allowing her to become stronger more quickly.
With this in mind, Lilith returned to the world of sorcery, stood before the sand table, looked at the miniature world before her, and began to conceive of gods and authority.
First, there are the elves. In many works, the gods that elves worship are the gods of life. However, the authority of [life] is actually a fusion of the supreme authority of [existence] and [reproduction], and its upper limit is not high.
In order to possess powerful authority, Lilith temporarily designated the god of the elves as [breeding].
Orcs, by virtue of their racial characteristic of feeling "ashamed" for harming or killing their own kind, were granted the supreme divine power of "harmony" by Lilith.
The dwarves should be associated with the god of craftsmen for their metal smelting and blacksmithing, but unfortunately, they do not have the authority called "craftsmen." Instead, the burning and forging of metals are applications of energy, so they are granted the supreme power of "energy."
The last demon race, an inherently arrogant race, was granted the supreme power of [Existence] by Lilith. Their arrogance is based on the existence of other species, and their internal high-pressure policies are essentially related to [Existence].
As for humanity? [Phase], as a lower-level power, can be analyzed step by step upwards to reveal that the supreme power it represents is [Order].
[Phase] → [Period] → [Process] → [Order]
They seem unrelated because for a lower-level authority to be promoted, multiple identical lower-level authorities need to merge, and only in the end can they form a supreme omnipotent authority.
Conversely, if Lilith were to kill a supreme god, the supreme power would explode into several higher powers. Destroying these higher powers would cause them to become middle powers, or even lower powers. Eventually, the concept of power would disappear altogether.
Therefore, the lower level is the smallest unit of power.
After dealing with the allocation of supreme authority, the next thing to consider is how to make these gods appear in the player's field of vision as a matter of course.
Lilith first entered the small sandbox world and used her powers to summon four Amelia. As the Executioner Dragon, she could summon as many Amelia as she wanted.
As a member of the Familia, Amelia wields the superior power [Destiny], which belongs to the supreme power [Entropy Return]. Lilith is responsible for judgment, while Amelia is responsible for ending it.
Of course, Lilith couldn't let Amelia and the others appear as loli maids, so she randomly pointed to one of Amelia and appointed her:
"From now on, you are the god of the elves, and your power is [reproduction]. This form is no longer usable; I'll change it for you."
As soon as she finished speaking, under Lilith's power, the Amelia who was pointed at changed instantly. Her original height of 1.5 meters was suddenly stretched to 1.7 meters, and her figure was no longer slender, but voluptuous.
In addition, the maid outfit was changed to a white robe that fits the style of the small world, and the hair color was changed to emerald green. Overall, she looked full of vitality and radiated maternal glow.
This image was specially designed by Lilith. The power of [breeding] includes [nourishment], [milk], and [breastfeeding], and this image perfectly matches the impression of the power.
Then Lilith looked at the other Amelia. Amelia sensed something was wrong and was about to offer some advice when she suddenly transformed from a loli into a little girl.
Lilith began to explain:
“The growth and development period of young girls represents harmlessness, and harmlessness leads to non-confrontation, non-violence, and the need for protection, and this is the outward manifestation of [harmony]…”
Chapter 200: Shoot the Arrow First, Draw the Target Later
The demon gods exist, but how can their existence be represented by their appearance? Lilith stated:
"It can be reflected in nature, but the way it is expressed is too abstract. We need players and other humans to observe it, so we must build a form that can be understood."
Based on the demon race's innate "arrogance," Lilith designed the demon god as a girl with black hair, red eyes, and a small crown.
Finally, there's the dwarven god. The manifestation of [energy] is as abstract as [existence]. To make it easier for players to understand, Lilith designed her as a blonde girl wearing a white dress and a gear-shaped headdress.
Now that the gods of all races in the small world have been designed, Lilith will proceed with a "shoot the arrow first, then draw the target" plan.
He said to the four Amelias in front of him:
"From this moment forward, you are no longer Amelia. You are gods of elves, orcs, demons, and dwarves, respectively. You must use methods that conform to your own established doctrines to make your subordinate races worship you. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, all four Amelias replied simultaneously:
"Understood, boss, I'll try my best!"
Upon hearing this, Lilith nodded, then waved her hand, sending the four Amelias to their respective islands to begin spreading the faith.
Lilith then took action, writing an announcement to inform players of the arrival of the four gods.
At the same time, a letter appears in front of all players still in the [small world].
Jackson, wearing a wool coat, walked with Shia across the snow-covered ice field. Suddenly, Jackson stopped in his tracks because an envelope appeared in front of him.
Jackson frowned, picked up the envelope, and saw the word "Announcement" written on it.
"Announcements? Does this game have announcements?"
Filled with doubt, Jackson opened the envelope and read the contents as he went:
"Dear players, due to the incomplete settings for dwarves, elves, demons, and orcs, the operations team will add their respective gods to these races, which will be done without stopping the server."
story background:
In the beginning, there were only humans in the world. Later, the power of other gods began to interfere with this world, giving rise to elves, demons, dwarves, orcs, and their followers. This created a deep connection between these gods and this world, which is why they descended upon it…
Looking at the contents of the letter, Jackson was somewhat bewildered. After all, the existence of gods was far too distant for him. Even among the superhumans, he was still one of the weakest.
This news, however, shocked the viewers in the live stream:
[New gods? Four of them at once?]
[I feel like they're going to do something big later on]
[Let me guess, after the Age of Exploration, resource plunder + war of faith]
[Among the four gods, will there be a little girl?]
[Pedophiles, get out! Goddesses must be mature women...]
But obviously, the shock was only temporary. Soon, the discussion in the comments shifted to whether the deity was actually a little girl.
Jackson ignored the comments and looked at Shia, who was looking at him with concern in her eyes.
“It’s alright, let’s keep going.” Jackson grabbed Shia’s wrist, gave her a reassuring look, and then pulled her along as they continued through the icy plains.
Shia didn't speak. She wouldn't ask unless Jackson brought it up. For her, just being by Jackson's side was enough.
From the players' perspective, the content of this announcement is too far removed from reality, and even if players wanted to pay attention, they would be powerless to do so.
Within the world of sorcery, and even within the Japanese government, because they know that the "small world" represents a real world, they are very clear about what the "four new gods" represent.
Behind this world disguised as a game, at least five gods are pulling the strings, the enemy is more powerful, and our side remains completely unaware of them.
But what about the viewers in the live stream and those familiar with [Small World]? This announcement is not worth paying attention to at all. It's just an update that's clearly setting the stage for the storyline of later versions. Unless you're an absolute fan of the game, nobody will care.
Seeing that the announcement received a lukewarm response, Lilith was somewhat troubled. After all, the purpose of issuing this announcement was to announce the appearance of the Four Gods in a high-profile manner, but now... no one cared?
"No, the worlds derived from the smaller worlds are based on the observer effect. If they go unnoticed, their effectiveness will be greatly reduced. I need to think of a way..."
Lilith thought for a moment and remembered that the reason she released [Small World] as a game ahead of schedule was because her video had gone viral.
Perhaps we should make a separate video for each of the four gods' appearances? Making a video for each one would be too monotonous. It would be better to have Lilith, who already has a certain level of popularity, introduce herself in a tea party style with the four gods. This would not only introduce the four gods but also maintain the hype.
