"Energy Traction".
After a momentary pause, to the astonishment of the silver-haired half-elf who was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, the pervasive icy mist contracted even faster than it had spread, and in less than two seconds, the space returned to its original state. As for the icy mist...
"Snapped"
"Snapped"
"Snapped"
……
Looking at the several round ice balls that had fallen to the ground, the silver-haired half-elf suppressed the surprise in his eyes and instead revealed a solemn expression: "Puck."
"Understood~"
Looking at the ice spikes that formed around the small magical beast, Lin Yi let out a breath.
A week isn't enough time to accomplish much, at least not with this still incomplete information body. Even with the best efforts to learn, one can only gain an understanding of the world's magic system and concepts.
Using these basic understandings and his own abilities of "gravity" and "repulsion," Lin Yi was able to capture the condensation point of "mana" before a magic spell took shape and destroy its structure in advance. This was also the method he used to stop the silver-haired half-elf earlier. However, if he were facing a magical beast named "Pak," which didn't need to be built externally and could be constructed entirely within its own "mana," the effect would be quite limited.
not only that……
Feeling that his strength had been reduced by another 5% since he "went to war" with this silver-haired half-elf, and that the weakening trend was accelerating, Lin Yi had no choice but to make a decision.
Re:CREATORS: Chapter 537 Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World- (10)
"If I say it's not what you think, will you accept it?"
The silver-haired elf silently directed her magic in response, while the magical beast on her shoulder cheered and increased the number of ice spikes to more than twenty. For a moment, the huge passage seemed too narrow, and no matter how one tried to dodge, it was destined that one could not escape this "barrage".
Having given up on his last hope, Lin Yi also re-examined the information about the "plot characters" that the time travelers had previously provided him with.
In the transmigrator's description, this silver-haired half-elf is beautiful, innocent, kind... she embodies all the best qualities. If you encounter any problems, you can definitely resolve them through communication with her.
But now it seems that this is not the case. Perhaps the description of the female protagonist in the "plot" is too fragmented, or perhaps her true personality is not as naive as the time travelers imagined. When faced with a "maid" with whom she spends every day and a "diner" whose name she does not even know, she quite decisively chooses the former.
It makes sense, considering he's a candidate for the throne; it would be illogical for him to be unable to make even the most basic decisions.
Thinking it over, Lin Yi no longer hesitated, since things had already developed to this point.
If we say that there are two choices in a broad sense: to submit or to fight back, then after choosing to fight back, there are also two choices in a narrower sense.
One approach is to wage a war of attrition, gradually wearing down the enemy while their capabilities are slowly diminished, waiting for an intervenor to appear and explain the situation to end the conflict.
Or perhaps it's better to simply prepare to end the battle at a significant cost...
"The choice was actually decided from the beginning, wasn't it?"
When the silver-haired elf in front of him launched an attack, the repulsive field that suddenly appeared in front of him pushed him back a distance, but he couldn't dodge the ice spikes from the monster "Puck".
"Removal of restraint"
The air around him vibrated slightly for a moment, but because the amplitude was too slight and the duration too short, it was not noticed. However, the ice spike that was originally heading straight for Lin Yi's face was disturbed by this vibration and "slipped away", falling to the floor behind him with a crackling sound of ice forming.
"Oh~ it doesn't seem to be magic?"
The words emanating from the small magical beast were nonetheless perfectly human. However, Lin Yi, who had already learned part of its true identity from the transmigrators, felt no curiosity and simply maintained his own pace—
2. Cage VII)I Wu Lin 9 & Shan Liu Jiu "Chain Resonance"
Palms, elbows, shoulders, heart, abdomen, legs, feet—
The twenty-four small repulsive fields binding this information body were triggered simultaneously. However, what happened was not the scene of Lin Yi's body being torn to shreds by these twenty-four forces, but rather the high-speed vibration and fusion of the repulsive fields.
When the strength is insufficient, the effect of a single repulsive field is limited. Even at its strongest, it can only push away a 200-pound object. This effect will weaken as the area of the repulsive field increases.
But is there a rule that the same stance can only be used once?
In a conventional sense, a person with the ability of "gravity" and "repulsion" can only use the ability a limited number of times at a time, because the ability is formed in the external world. Just as the silver-haired elf's magic must be formed through "mana", the "position" requires "space".
Even if you have "space", it is impossible to maintain the existence of "position" in the long term, unless you are willing to stay in one place for 24 hours to maintain it. But what if you build these "positions" in another "space" that can move with you and maintain them all the time?
With this in mind, and because the information he brought in was severely lacking and he had virtually no "personal space," Lin Yi ultimately chose his own body as his "mobile space."
Maintaining a "stance" within oneself allows for balance when not needed, while enabling it to erupt all at once when required.
Of course, such a "portable space" is not without its price. If the "stance" within the body becomes even slightly unbalanced, the chain reaction will cause the entire body to be torn to shreds in less than half a second. It is only because Lin Yi is an "information body" that he dares to use such an ability in this body.
Although it is different from what was expected, the current situation is clearly not the time to continue.
Now that the decision has been made, there should be no hesitation in carrying it out.
Frequency adjustment
With his eyes slightly narrowed, the silver-haired half-elf noticed the twenty-four layers of repulsive force surrounding his body. After fully intervening in reality, the field appeared in a semi-transparent, distorted form: the highly compressed air twisted the dust and matter in this area, forming a "fault" that contrasted sharply with its surroundings.
Noticing that the situation seemed somewhat unusual, the monsters launched ice spikes one after another, but under the continuous strengthening of the repulsive field, they could not even get close before being broken and repelled.
"Maximize output..."
In the initial stage of the final step, the enormous repulsive force emanating from itself radiates without reservation to every inch of space within a 3-meter radius. Due to the severe disproportion between mass and size, the body naturally floats upwards. If Lin Yi's mass were greater than that of the planet beneath his feet, then the planet would sink instead of the body floating.
Below, the silver-haired half-elf had almost given up on the pointless attacks and began frantically setting up the defensive ice wall. Although she didn't know what the "transparent layer" surrounding her was, the rapidly flowing air and the constant feeling of pressure made her highly vigilant.
"Oh dear~ It seems dangerous to carry things like that, it's best to stay away, Amy~"
But there are other people here!
Even though she knew that the best way to deal with such a wide-range "casting skill" was to stay far away, the silver-haired elf stubbornly stayed in place, constantly creating ice walls in an attempt to seal the dangerous "transparent layer" inside.
Calmly watching the silver-haired elf's futile actions, Lin Yi completed the fusion of the last repulsive field and was about to activate the ability when he suddenly recalled the words those transmigrators had always used to describe this ability.
After a slight hesitation, I finally decided to give it a try.
He raised his palm forward, fingers spread, and the immense repulsive force compressed within a three-meter radius began to crush the surrounding ice walls as it expanded outward: "Shinra—"
"That's enough, let's stop for now."
P.S.: Something came up, so only two updates today.
Re:CREATORS: Chapter 538 Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World- (11)
With two hostile and threatening "opponents" behind their backs, continuing to attack an "enemy" whose nature is not even particularly malicious seems like an irrational act.
Almost as soon as the "veteran" appeared and spoke, Lin Yi decisively stopped.
This scene left the "veteran," who was prepared to backstab, with a mixture of confusion and uncertainty. However, since the "newcomer" had not actively broken the rules, he could not take any action. Even if he did, with the "throne candidate" not under threat, the wavering mage beside him was unlikely to help him. The more likely scenario was that he would choose to watch and, at the right moment, deliver a righteous backstab to both sides of the battle—which, considering the nature of the "transmigrator" in this world, could be considered the right thing to do.
Left with no other choice, the "veteran" dispersed his condensed energy and walked up to Lin Yi, who had landed again, with a worried expression: "Hahaha, I didn't expect you to have strengthened your abilities to this extent in just a few days... Don't make a move. The 'plot' of this world is not as simple as it seems. Even now, there are quite a few old monsters watching this place."
The second half of the sentence was spoken in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly. Lin Yi seemed to have accepted this explanation and "suddenly realized" it. Then, the manor owner, who had checked the blue-haired maid's injuries, also came over.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect Rem's demon blood to suddenly erupt. I'm really sorry for causing trouble for all of you guests."
The conversation essentially categorized all the deceased transmigrators as "troublemakers," but the "veterans" seemed indifferent to the magician's actions. Lin Yi, also a transmigrator but who hadn't suffered any significant losses, seemed to have no reason to object. Thus, the appearance of the nine innocent victims was glossed over, and the topic moved directly to the next stage—
"Although it may be presumptuous of me, would you be willing to grant this guest from afar a request?"
With a smile that seemed utterly insincere, the manor owner turned his gaze to Lin Yi: "Serve as Emilia's knight."
—An expected development.
According to those time travelers, after the second part of the story, which takes place in the manor and is called the "Ghost Clan Murder Incident", the story will move into the third part, which is the "King's Selection" story. In this story, what you need to pay attention to is that the "protagonist" becomes a silver-haired half-elf "knight" due to various coincidences - roughly understood as a guardian-like existence.
However, with the "plot" already messed up by the holder, and given the severe lack of contact with the silver-haired half-elf, and the fact that Natsuki Subaru hasn't even revealed any of his "abilities," it's impossible for him to continue along the original storyline. Under these circumstances, it's not surprising that he would turn his attention to someone more powerful.
Even the previous transmigrators acted so recklessly largely because of the identity of the "knight," but the deviation of the "plot" later on clearly exceeded the risk range they could accept, so that their ideal and perfect plan eventually turned into a fatal reality.
From this perspective, Lin Yi might be considered to have "benefited from the situation."
After quickly sorting out these clues, in response to the manor owner's request, Lin Yi turned his gaze to the smiling "veteran" beside him: "Compared to me, my 'senior' seems more suitable for this position."
"..."
"..."
“Oh, if the Earl is worried about our abilities, I believe that is completely unnecessary. At least from my personal point of view, even the three of us combined are no match for me, his ‘senior,’ so there is no need to worry.”
Finally recovering from the sudden change, the "veteran's" first reaction was anger, but after noticing the situation, he could only suppress it and growled in a low, threatening voice, "What the hell do you want?"
"I didn't do anything special, I just assigned the right tasks to the right people, didn't I?"
"We are merely guides; we cannot directly interfere—"
Halfway through his growl, the "veteran" seemed to realize the problem and shut his mouth with a livid face.
The manor owner in front of him also came to his senses and smiled again—this time more genuinely than before: "What an interesting guest. I have no doubt that your 'senior' is powerful, but it seems that for some special reason he cannot use it on his own, so I can only let you take on this position."
"So, would you be willing to become Emilia's knight?"
It has to be said that this was an unexpected gain, not in the sense of becoming a "knight," but in the information revealed in the conversation between the "veteran" and the manor owner.
The specifics are still unclear, but at least it is certain that this "veteran" is indeed subject to restrictions in this world. Because of these restrictions, even though he possesses power greater than everyone else present, he cannot use it at will. He can only guide him little by little, like playing house with a child.
The previous mass death of transmigrators was like this. If he had taken the initiative, he could have cleared the area in an instant. However, in the end, he could only complete part of it with the help of the manor owner. Even after encountering Lin Yi, a "tough nut to crack," he had to give up halfway instead of taking matters into his own hands.
Soon, Lin Yi connected this "veteran's" stance with the reincarnators in the God Space he had created: they also possessed great power, but were also restricted by "missions" and could not use their power at will, and could only make limited choices within the scope of "missions" provided by the God.
This makes the stance of the "Time Traveler Alliance" somewhat delicate...
With various thoughts swirling around, it appeared to outsiders that he was caught in a dilemma of whether or not to accept it.
In order for the "plan" to be implemented smoothly, the "veteran" had to throw out a bigger bargaining chip. His lips trembled slightly, and his clear voice was caught by one ear, but nothing could be heard on the other.
[Accept Roswaal's invitation; I'll tell you later what the different consequences are of attacking different characters in the story.]
"Of course, it is my honor."
After a difficult period of hesitation, Lin Yi accepted the manor owner's invitation and made a trivial request: "By the way, I hope to leave with the rest of my companions."
Re:CREATORS: Chapter 539 Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World- (12)
Once the explicit agreement was reached, the covert hunts naturally ceased. Furthermore, to avoid the "accidental deaths" of the remaining reincarnators and the protagonist, Lin Yi also made the request to "take them with him when he leaves."
However, it's hard to say about the transmigrators. Judging solely from the perspective of Natsuki Subaru, the protagonist of the original story, his chances of survival are probably higher than anyone else's.
Since he no longer had the opportunity to contact Emilia and Rem, this otaku who traveled through the world chose to live a life no different from before, immersing himself in his own personal world all day long. If it weren't for his normal living needs, he probably would have turned into a transparent film and no one would have noticed.
To dispel the silver-haired half-elf's suspicions as much as possible, the manor owner would probably be happy to have all the other "suspicious individuals" disappear, and then use the excuse of them "returning home first" to get the silver-haired half-elf to accept them, while also having the original protagonist "relay" the "messages" of those companions...
In this way, the plot will return to its original state if Lin Yi does not appear.
"This is the 'plot' correction power that exists in any other world. In our view, although the 'plot' will change drastically in the short term because of our actions as transmigrators, once the transmigrators' interference is gone, the 'plot' will slowly recover on its own... Many transmigrators believe that this is something like the 'will of the universe' interfering, but so far no one has said that they have found that will of the universe. We can only consider it an objective phenomenon."
After the agreement was reached, Lin Yi, who left with the "veteran," obtained more information from him that he considered "unimportant." Presumably to appease Lin Yi, in addition to the agreed-upon parts, he also mentioned other things: "The Transmigrators' Alliance is not fixed in any particular world. To describe it, it is probably similar to the ordinary world you originally lived in. It is a decentralized organization formed by people living in different places who met and formed it online, except that the locations have changed to different worlds."
"Then there's what I just mentioned, which I think you also noticed: the abnormally weakened state of your abilities when you fought the story characters—Rom from before, Rem from just now, and Emilia."
After seeing Lin Yi nod, the "veteran" continued, "This is a restriction imposed on later transmigrators by the predecessors of the Transmigrators Alliance, in order to prevent some transmigrators from taking malicious actions against the plot missions for their own selfish desires, or even causing major disasters such as destroying the world... There is no doubt that powerful transmigrators possess this power, as can be seen from the 'Golden Catastrophe' that has not yet ended."
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly interjected, "The Golden Catastrophe?"
"Ah, an excessively powerful chaotic transmigrator. If it's this one, it could probably destroy this story world in a minute."
The "veteran" didn't delve into the chaotic time traveler, but instead continued the previous topic: "So unless absolutely necessary, never fight against characters from the main storyline."
"What about the antagonists in the story?"
Upon hearing Lin Yi's seemingly reasonable question, the "veteran" took a deep breath: "You did indeed kill the Intestine Hunter."
“Strictly speaking, no. After all, even the ability of ‘death rewind’ exists in this world, so there might be abilities like ‘resurrection of the dead’ or ‘soul revival’.”
The "veteran" simply chuckled twice at Lin Yi's sophistry.
"It is said that it is better to guide than to block. The original God Space fell because of this, and was killed by a group of reincarnators who grew stronger. The current Transmigrator Alliance will naturally not let itself fall in the same way. While restricting the transmigrators of the future, they also left an option that can be used to 'strengthen' without exchanging or completing tasks. That is to hunt down 'villains' in other worlds, also known as villains."
"However, it's not like any villain can be hunted down. Two conditions must be met: First, the villain must not reappear in the later part of the story."
Hearing this, Lin Yi frowned.
"Secondly, in the story that has already unfolded, the character is the villain."
"...Perhaps I should ask you what 'exchange' means, and how to define the concept of 'villain'?"
“These details are not included in our deal.”
After coldly uttering a single sentence, the "veteran" turned and left without looking back.
----------segmentation----------
After several days of "hunting," the border manor returned to its original tranquility, and even the figures that had been clinging to the two maids and the silver-haired half-elf disappeared... Well, that's not quite right. After the transmigrators retreated due to the cruel reality, the original protagonist, who hadn't realized the situation at all, easily struck up a conversation with the female protagonist while out foraging for food.
