At the center of the outstretched fingers of the right hand, deep red particles frantically compressed and condensed towards the front of the palm. After reaching a certain degree of saturation, they radiated in a simple and direct form—aiming at the emptiness in front of him, and then sweeping around the area with the most "life forms" in his perception.
The cleaning was completed in three seconds.
Putting down his slightly hot right hand, the once silent world gave a more direct and intense response. Even though he couldn't see it with his own eyes, he could still feel the intense heat and the rapidly diminishing life force through the explosion that tore through the atmosphere.
After the total number was reduced by nearly half, Lin Yi slowly landed.
Given the world's will against them, it's extremely unlikely that they can resolve the root cause through such a large-scale elimination method. So it's best to waste some time to reconfirm... Fortunately, Lin Yi didn't waste much time this time.

Because he was knocked down, Zero didn't directly witness the catastrophe brought about by the crimson ray. However, the aftershocks of the surrounding ground collapsing and tearing apart like a magnitude 10 earthquake faithfully presented everything. At this moment, despite possessing the Geass ability to dominate this land, this country, and even this world, Zero felt only a profound sense of powerlessness—he didn't even have the strength to break free from the witch's protection and stand up.
The apocalyptic scene lasted for nearly half a minute before slowly subsiding. Tokyo's originally bright sky was now covered by countless specks of dust, not the familiar gray dust, but a burning red.
Using the rubble as support, Zero got up and, through the helmet's view, saw...
"……hell……"
The bustling city, the crowded streets, the azure sky... everything was replaced by crimson. Zero didn't know what could still remain beneath that crimson meltwater that had taken over the original urban area, but he knew one thing.
"Japan, it's over."
"In my personal opinion, it should be 'Area 11' that is finished."
A calm voice rang out, but it brought a tremendous sense of dread. Before Zero could turn around to look at him, another figure blocked his view: "CC?!"
Ignoring Zero's confusion and anger, the witch simply looked at the stranger with a caution he had never seen before: "What are you?"
With a gentle flick of his fingertips, the suspended blade cleaved the swaying Knightmare behind him, along with its operator, in two before gracefully returning to its original position. Against the backdrop of the fiery red explosion, Lin Yi pondered for a moment: "Human?"
"...It's impossible for a human to do these things."
Her gaze remained fixed on the "person" before her. The immortal witch herself didn't know why she had such thoughts, but retreating was inevitable at this moment.
"Can someone who can easily kill countless of their own kind still be called 'human'?"
"similar?"
Silently reciting the word, Lin Yi felt no emotion, and even wanted to laugh: "Regardless of whether you from different worlds can be considered my kind, even if you are, can't a person kill someone?"
"For example, the guy behind you, although his methods are different, has indirectly caused the deaths of many people. So, does he count as a person?"
Zero, who was suddenly dragged into the conversation, found himself speechless. Admittedly, his wisdom was unparalleled in the world, but that was only based on the "chess game"—a field he was familiar with. As for the field in the conversation, Lelouch VI Britannia was certain that he knew nothing about it.
"Lelouch kills for people, what about you?"
He shook his head and raised his fingertip toward the two people in front of him: "For me."
"——!!!"
Before that crimson ray lit up, Lelouch thought of many things, including his sister Nunnally, his unfulfilled ideals, and all his past actions... In the end, everything was replaced by a figure.
"CC!"
With a desperate push away her protector, the witch was unsurprisingly struck by the ray, her chest and heart area instantly dissolved and disintegrated, as if nothing had ever existed there to begin with.
Half a second later, the sound of an object falling was heard.
"Ah... ah ah..."
Staring blankly at the corpse beneath him, its blood gushing out, Lelouch's pupils contracted behind his helmet. Then, the instinct for survival compelled him to shift his gaze again. Crimson light bloomed once more beneath the crimson sky, but this time, there was no protector before Lelouch. He could only watch helplessly as crimson particles condensed and compressed towards the stranger's fingertips—
"boom--"
Gunshots rang out, interrupting the impending death.
----------segmentation----------
Dispersing the gravity particles at the tip of his fingertips, Lin Yi turned in surprise to the girl who had "come back to life."
Lin Yi was quite certain that she had indeed died two seconds earlier: her heart had been dissolved, her blood vessels torn apart, a death that was both physiological and psychologically certain.
Yet now she was undeniably "alive": her heart was beating, her blood was flowing, and even her hands gripping the weapon remained unwavering. If it weren't for the lingering warmth of the blood on the ground, Lin Yi would have doubted whether it was just an illusion.
After the initial surprise, Lin Yi became interested.
With a gentle flick of her fingertips, the sword blade floating behind her vanished in an instant, only to reappear with a sonic boom that tore through the air, driving the standing girl deep into the ground. But three seconds later, she "revived."
Despite having used all her strength to heal the Immortal-Slaying Sword from her body, and bleeding to the point of being fatal, the girl was indeed alive.

Soul Leap: Chapter 341 Lelouch the Rebellious (10)
Burning, freezing, cutting, penetrating ba three phosphorus nine z Lin (seven) 9 Qia Ba Ling Meng Tong...
After trying all the "conventional" methods, Lin Yi had to admit a reality.
“…Give up.”
Rising again from her own blood, even with the ability to resurrect countless times, the pain was not lessened in the slightest. Having experienced countless deaths in a short period of time, the witch spoke words that seemed to be meant to make herself or others give up: "You cannot kill me, not even I can."
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yi still raised his head: "It's really not good to waste such excellent 'material' like this."
For the first time, the witch saw the face of the person who "claimed to be human" clearly.
His face was pale, seemingly from not being exposed to sunlight for too long. Apart from his eyes being closed, there was nothing unusual about him. He was the kind of passerby who would be easily overlooked if he were just walking down the street. This impression lasted until the witch saw him open his closed eyes.

Directly to the devil's eye.
One of the rules that manifests externally from the "Root" is the ability to see the "death lines" or "death points" of an object that is understood, and to kill it from the root through these "lines" or "points"... In the world that is the origin of these eyes, the highest form of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception is to die upon being seen—an ability that makes no sense.
But in a world with different rules, the ability to observe the "death" of the living is quite remarkable.
If unlimited resurrection is a powerful, unremovable buff, then the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception is a debuff that directly counters it. So the question arises: when a rule that claims to be able to kill everything faces a rule that cannot be killed at all, which side will ultimately prevail?
With this mindset of a clash between the "strongest spear" and the "hardest shield," Lin Yi took this action.
A faint, holy blue glow reflected the "outline" before my eyes. As expected, what I saw after opening this eye was not a "person" or "object," but simply an outline formed by "rules." In the real world, this outline is an independent individual just like anyone else, yet it possesses the characteristic of being indestructible. However, the answer can be found within the vision of "rules."
—It is not independent.
On its seemingly independent exterior, countless "lines" connect it to everything outside, like inconspicuous pebbles underfoot, distant flames radiating warmth, or howling winds... When it "dies," it doesn't end there, but repeatedly relies on these connections from the outside world to reconstruct its collapsed outline, reappearing in reality in the same yet different form, thus constituting this incomprehensible phenomenon.
"resurrection."
When Lelouch VI Britannia saw the monster open its eyes, he knew very well that it would be his only chance.
Ignoring the mess he was made of from the aftershocks of the collision, Lelouch gritted his teeth and used his last bit of strength to roll out from behind the cover, looking ahead through the witch in front of him who was inexplicably stiff and motionless.
"In the name of Lelouch VI Britannia, I command you—"
The words successfully attracted the monster's attention, and as it turned its gaze in this direction, Lelouch unleashed his power with the greatest "strength" he had ever possessed.
"go to hell!!!"
As if by illusion, time seemed to pause for a moment when the words were spoken.
The distant flames, the howling hot winds in the air, and the entire world seemed to fall into stillness, except for the holy blue light in those eyes that were not of human origin... which dimmed slightly.
----------segmentation----------
This is abnormal.
The red bird pattern, far from being blurred in this non-realistic vision, actually became more real. At least Lin Yi could clearly perceive that it was drawing in a large amount of "vitality" from this world, which surged into every detail of his open eye.
It was at this moment that Lin Yi sensed something was wrong.
There's nothing wrong with satisfying curiosity, but he would never take action against potential dangers just for the sake of mere curiosity.
Knowing full well that the activation of "abilities" in this world requires certain conditions to be met, and that one can easily avoid these conditions, why would one act foolishly for something that can be confirmed at any time, or even something that doesn't need to be confirmed?
There is no doubt that this is abnormal, and the source of the abnormality becomes quite clear once this "abnormality" is recognized.
"In the name of Lelouch VI Britannia, I command you—die!!!"
Using the eyes as a medium, what truly intervenes in the "root" is not the red bird, but the "will" drawn by the red bird... the will of the world.
Geass, absolute obedience.
Following Lelouch VI Britannia's deepest desire, he made a contract with a witch and obtained this "ability," which he then used to manipulate and establish the entire Black Knights.
Lelouch also had doubts about the ability he had acquired, but he chose to accept it rather than question it. Having almost nothing left, he absolutely could not lose this ability, so he never thought about pursuing its origin and principles, but simply learned how to use it.
That's enough. Absolute obedience means absolute command. If he can command with absolute authority, then everything in this world will belong to him—and this time is no exception!
With his eyes wide open, Lelouch awaited the scene that was about to unfold, watching the monster before him.
The monster, under the influence of Geass, stopped what it was doing and remained silent for two long seconds before slowly raising its hand. Just as Lelouch was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw that the hand was not pointing towards him, but rather towards the front.
"Increase, Phase One."
The crimson particles were interrupted during the contraction phase. A red mecha descended from the sky, swinging its enormous hand to smash at the tiny enemy before it, only to be easily cleaved in two by an even smaller blade hovering beside it. Lelouch, protected behind the red mecha, didn't have time to utter a word before being grabbed and carried away by the one-handed red mecha. In the instant he soared into the sky, he vaguely saw another white mecha blocking the monster's path as it tried to extend its hand again...
Soul Leap: Chapter 342 "Saturation"
The high-intensity magnetic field generated by the sword firmly restrained the multiple metal bullets less than two meters in front of him. The enormous internal force even distorted them from their original regular shapes into irregular shapes. However, Lin Yi felt no information about this scene at all.
Fingertips twitching.
The sword blade, suspended in mid-air, trailed a sharp sonic boom as it pierced through from top to bottom. After the aftershocks of the explosion subsided, only the wreckage of the white machine remained in front of him, while the operator who should have been inside had vanished without a trace.
He frowned, raised his hand again, and pointed his fingertips at the distant sky. Crimson particles rapidly compressed and condensed towards the tip of his fingertip—
"Snapped"
The high-intensity gravitational particles easily crushed the flesh and blood that tried to block them into dust and scattered it. However, due to the interference of the flesh and blood, the trajectory that could originally be detected by perception completely disappeared without a trace. Lin Yi was not surprised by this situation at all. He simply stepped forward, stepping over the corpses that were beginning to "revive" once again.
"Snapped"
This time, his hand grabbed the hem of the shirt directly.
With a furrowed brow, Lin Yi extended his right hand, which was wrapped in bandages, grabbed the witch by the neck, and slowly lifted her up in front of him.
“I think you must not have experienced a third state besides ‘life’ and ‘death’.”
The silvery-white color spread from the point where the palm touched flesh and blood towards the witch's body. Lin Yi couldn't see what kind of expression this "undying one" had, but judging from the struggle she felt in her palm, it certainly wasn't pleasant: "Don't worry, you won't 'die'. Your heart will continue to beat, and your thoughts will continue to exist—under this metal 'shell,' you will continue to 'live'."
He took a step back, and the sound of metal falling echoed as he let go. Just as he was about to continue chasing the escaped rat, a sudden sense of unease forced Lin Yi to stop again.
Take a deep breath and place your left hand on your tightly closed eyes.
In conclusion, the expeditionary force won the war in Area 11, but none of the victors felt a sense of victory.
“From Shinjuku to central Tokyo, more than 50% of the area and routes have been destroyed. According to the on-site damage report, the resources required for repairs would be enough to rebuild more than ten Tokyos, and there is no guarantee of the timeframe or effectiveness of the repairs… To put it bluntly, this area has no value for repair.”
"The reactionary forces within District 11 have ceased all operations after receiving news of the Black Knights' defeat, but the resistance among the people is rising... Now our soldiers must carry guns even when they go out, otherwise no one can guarantee they won't be ambushed by those radical nationalists."
"So all that time and effort we wasted has resulted in nothing but ruins, and ruins that could rise up against us at any moment?"
Nodding heavily, the chief of staff lowered his voice: "It's not just Area 11. Because of this incident, there have been other movements in the previously stable East Asia region. The missing Federal Emperor has been reinstated, and this time there are no eunuchs controlling the government. Many Federal citizens who have already surrendered have begun to contact them... No one likes to live under a regime that could carry out a 'massacre' at any time."
"The massacre..."
Chewing on the word, and looking again at the lingering crimson hue at the edge of the sky outside the window, the commander suddenly felt that being shot and killed by the Black Knights wasn't so unacceptable after all, at this moment, something even more cruel and brutal was happening on this land.
"...Are we liberating another world, or destroying it?"
----------segmentation----------
Compared to the material activity of the Imperial Arms world, which is based on Imperial Arms, this world is clearly more inclined towards mental activity. The existence of "Geass" is the biggest evidence. Geass cannot directly affect the material world, which is quite different from the Nen power generated by the T-virus mutation. However, Geass has an absolute advantage that Nen power cannot have. Lin Yi calls it "mental interference".
Whether it's memory modification, mind reading, or absolute command... all these methods derived from Geass cannot interfere with matter but can only interfere with the mind. This was something Lin Yi himself became certain of after he believed he had been "mentally interfered with."
An unusual sense of "saturation".
It's like someone who has been thirstily devouring all the food they can find, and then suddenly feels full and can't eat anymore. Although it's not entirely the same in terms of complete sensory perception, this strange feeling definitely exists now... This feeling started to grow and intensify after the battle that 11 went to.
"Lord God."
【…】
The entity in his mind still did not respond. After calculating the time it would take for it to "awaken," Lin Yi rationally gave up the idea of waiting for the main god to complete the fusion before dealing with this problem.
Reaching out, the rapidly shifting spatial coordinates in my mind, supported by energy, constituted a complete "displacement" process. An apple, which should have been on a tree more than fifty kilometers away, unexpectedly replaced an equal volume of air above my palm.
Place this apple in front of you—take a bite.
Despite the dry, numb sensation, Lin Yi felt that she could still eat it.
"Isn't the problem physical...?"
