Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

For this planet, it wouldn't be surprising if humanity, which has developed too rapidly and become the undisputed leader, were to one day inadvertently become the planet's cancer, a terrifying fourth catastrophe.

Just like in the neighboring world of Steel Earth, on the dead planet—humanity still survives.

This terrifying fact, which even the planetary will, Mother Earth Gaia, could not accept—that the planet dies but the people do not, and that they even cross the universe to begin interstellar exploration—is something that these 'fragile' humans, who still need to be protected and taught, might do in the future, in the eyes of Gaia.

After packing everything up and leaving some things for the humans of this era in the human capital, Ye prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but think: 'Without divine restraint, humanity, possessing technologies far beyond our time and developing at an astounding pace—if things continue like this, who knows—maybe a future like Lostbelts or Singularities will emerge?'

Volume Four: The War of the Beasts, The Vortex of Origin Forging the Throne

Chapter One: Not only must the destructive power be equal to the size of the universe for a thing to be considered perfect!

He's back, still on the throne of the Norwegian royal family.

When they returned to the real world that night, the drastically altered Norse mythology had long since become history.

When Ye had someone show him the historical records of Norse mythology, he finally understood why the Danish royal family was no longer descendants of Skadi, the goddess of winter.

Not to mention that Odin's brother had already died because of him, and Skadi had been taken away by him. Even her original husband couldn't get this goddess, let alone Odin, the mantis lurking in the shadows.

It's worth mentioning that before leaving Northern Europe, Night did one last great thing—he took the World Tree with him.

That's right—the World Tree—!

Based on the administrator's deductions, even if the World Tree disappears, the Norse world will not collapse, but will instead accelerate its integration with the greater universe.

Since that's the case—this treasure containing the greatest wisdom and laws of the Nordic countries, of course, should be taken away by the night.

A World Tree can give birth to a world. A world whose World Tree has been uprooted is like the Fairy Britain next door without its Imaginary Tree. But let's not even talk about how this world would fundamentally rewrite the timeline, unlike the Moon World next door which was designated as a Lostbelt and cut off. Even if a situation similar to a Lostbelt were to occur, the upcoming future of a real universe where multiple mythological worlds are merging would eliminate this crisis in advance.

Rather, if they hadn't merged, the Norse people of this era, with the help of the 'legacy' he left behind, would probably have already broken through the atmosphere and entered the universe to explore new worlds.

If we consider mythology and human history as numerous threads of destiny and universes arising around this planet, then when the stage of civilization's development rises from Earth to the cosmos, mythology might also leap forward. When humanity's stage is no longer limited to Earth, and gods are no longer confined to planets, beings like the Star Gods in the world of Honkai Impact 3rd might also emerge.

If that time comes, will his level of life also leap forward as he undergoes the final trial?

For no apparent reason, I pondered this dangerous and terrifying question: if the candidates for the original human civilization ultimately triumphed and established the chronological order that human history created mythology, then perhaps that terrible future would truly emerge when humanity breaks through the sea of ​​stars.

And now—I don't think about it that much.

After sensing it for a while, sure enough, the concept of 'microcosm' was brought out.

He even discovered that he could completely materialize his microcosm at any time.

What a terrifying thing this is—the physical body can no longer be a constraint. Even if he abandons his physical body and exists in the form of a pure soul, under the enhancement of the concept of the microcosm, his soul has already expanded to the limit of that universe.

What kind of terrifying thing is a soul with the same mass as the universe?

If the universe continues to expand and grow through countless collisions, its mass, in its perpetual and constant change, has approached an unpredictable infinity ∞, meaning the Möbius strip closes, forming a perfect closed ring, thus creating the ultimate life form that is incomprehensible to all things in the universe.

Infinite power remains infinite no matter how many times it is divided.

This means that even a single hair plucked from the soul of the night could have the weight to easily crush an entire galaxy.

Even if only a tiny bit of the soul power emanating from this enormous soul were used to nourish his current physical body, his body would be so strong that he would no longer have to worry about being too weak to unleash his ultimate moves, as he had in the past.

Now he should be thinking about how to control himself, since everything in the world has become too fragile for him now, and he might be killed by an unintentional action.

Just as a giant's sneeze could create a storm and tsunami that could kill countless humans, now, in the face of the immense mass of the night, even demigod heroes who were once looked up to and regarded as dangerous are like ants. It is extremely difficult to step over an ant without harming it.

It was only after reaching this point that Ye came to understand more and more about how exaggerated his past self's feat of challenging the gods with demigod-level power truly was.

He was judging his own power and that of the gods based on all the information he currently possessed.

Night is currently at the single-universe level, while most of the gods are at the continent level. The strongest among them—such as the twelve Olympian gods of Greece—are at the planetary level. Those who are qualified to compete for the throne of the god-king, such as Zeus, the king of the gods, and Artemis, Apollo, and Athena in the later stages, should have reached a higher level of the stellar level.

Although it is the origin universe, its combat power is not even as strong as some fan-made universes.

Just like in the Saint Seiya worldview—the supreme god of the Greek pantheon—has reached the level of a god beyond gods—that is not simply destructive power or a concept, but even its scale has reached the level of the multiverse.

In Ye's view, simply reaching a certain level of strength is not enough; only when one's physical size matches that level can one truly be considered to have reached that level.

That is to say, one's own existence is enough to rival the world and the universe.

It's not that he's called a single-universe level because his moves are powerful enough to threaten the entire universe, but rather that he himself is like a giant universe. This is what makes him a hexagonal warrior who has developed in all aspects without any blind spots.

Night, possessing the power to traverse conceptual universes, either doesn't do it at all, or if she does, she will naturally become the most perfect individual life form.

However—even though Ye has become so powerful, he still doesn't let his guard down.

He remembered what worried him at the beginning that led him to quickly start the new simulated universe.

The storm of a Christian invasion is fast approaching!

One God...!

While other mythological systems remained stagnant, confined to their own universe (symbolizing the self-imposed isolation of civilization), Columbus, like discovering the New World, ushered in an era of cosmic exploration, bringing his mythology to numerous lands (universes) and defeating the native gods there, reducing their supreme beings to demons within his own mythological framework.

This dove god, who broke through the limitations of his own cosmology and wiped out other pantheons with overwhelming force, could not possibly still be at the stellar level.

Even in the neighboring world of God Thrones, there are exaggerated cases like that.

While everyone else was still fighting at the single-universe level, Mercury suddenly became multi-dimensional, directly raising the power level of the entire world by an unknown number of times.

The sixth-day Mara, who appeared after the extinction of all phenomena, was said to be of immeasurable size, having stacked countless boxes on top of the previous ones.

Ye had reason to suspect that when the Pigeon God appeared, his combat power might be stronger than imagined, and it was not impossible for him to break through the gap of several dimensions.

Otherwise, among so many supreme gods in so many worlds, there must be one or two who are exceptionally powerful, surpassing their own limits and reaching the level of a single universe.

However, most of the pantheons were wiped out, leaving only a handful.

Chapter Two: If multiple universes could flow from the root, until a single hair could crush a universe...

Even if all the pantheons were united, they would not be a match for that omnipotent god.

That person's record is the greatest asset, and it's not an exaggeration to consider him a formidable opponent.

Putting aside other things, back in the Norse era, when Ye sensed the descent of the moon goddess Artemis, her power already far surpassed what he felt during the Greek era.

Now that the night has reached the level of a single universe, it is even more possible to clearly perceive the level at which Artemis resides—just as when she descended, a 'moon' like a giant star pressed against the world.

Artemis had by then reached the realm that her father Zeus had once been in.

But no one can say for sure whether Zeus has also become stronger. Given Artemis's potential and the level she could reach, plus Apollo, Athena, and others—if Zeus had remained stagnant, it would have been unlikely that he could have defeated them.

Human understanding of deities is not static—as civilization develops, many gods are added with multiple layers of information, which indicates that deities also evolve along with human civilization.

Some gods become stronger, while others become weaker...

However, as the supreme god of their respective pantheons, they are always the most important figures—even if Zeus and the other gods became stronger, they still couldn't defeat that dove god.

Night yearns even more to reach the level of the multiverse.

To effectively address any potential crisis, the only way is to become the strongest – that is the most perfect answer!

Besides continuing to develop the eighth sense further, until, like in the Saint Seiya world next door, one develops it to the tenth sense and even reaches godhood, which seems like a feasible path.

However, the time required for this is probably astronomical.

To be honest, Ye wasn't a very patient person, nor did he have that much time to improve little by little until he reached his current level. His meteoric rise wasn't due to self-improvement, but rather by taking the shortcut of devouring a true universe.

If he hadn't mastered the World Tree, hadn't gained the authority to manage the Norse world, if the universe he devoured hadn't initially slipped through the gap between illusion and reality, if he hadn't covered the entire world with his own reason beforehand—all of this would have been impossible without a single miracle.

In this Nordic universe, which is unlike the neighboring divine thrones and doesn't even have such a thing as a throne, Night has come this far entirely because of her enough hard work and daring.

Once a goal is set, one can move forward firmly and unwaveringly in that direction, even if it is just a concept that may not be achieved.

Making any mistake along the way would be extremely risky for Ye, which is why he dared to do this only in the simulated universe.

Getting back to the main point—the night needs a quick path to reach the outflow of the multiverse.

If he were to rely on his own power to expand the territory of a single universe on a single timeline to a multiverse with multiple timelines, he would need to possess multiple universes.

Given his ability to merge conceptual universes, even if he doesn't have administrator privileges in the next world, it's not entirely impossible for him to forcibly annex a world using a synthesized 'mini-universe'.

His universe inherently possesses the characteristic of transforming between the virtual and the real; even the 'real' universe can now be devoured.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but now that he has made a good start, the path ahead has been completely cleared. With this most crucial issue resolved, dealing with the world's resistance has become a minor matter.

At this moment, Ye was pondering what her current form of existence truly meant.

From the perspective of reason flowing out to cover the universe and sublimating himself, he is more like a domineering god.

But after swallowing the microcosm and arriving in the real world, the world returned to him. At this moment, he seemed to have become a mobile Tai Chi, that is, the Seeker of the Way—his whole being was like a humanoid mobile singularity.

With this attitude, if one were to enter a rather unique world like the Moon World, one would likely be treated as a humanoid singularity or Lostbelt by Chaldea as soon as they arrived.

Wait a minute—Moon World.

Ye suddenly thought of something. No matter what world it is, even the weakest and most ordinary world, the process of completing the outflow of reason and the final annexation of worlds is a massive undertaking. Expanding one's territory slowly, one by one, while improving things to the point of being visible to the naked eye, is hardly efficient.

But what about a worldview that inherently contains multiple worldlines, i.e., a large number of parallel universes?

The Moon World has a clear theory of parallel universes, and even has a core concept called 'Root'.

If one can reach the source, the principle will flow out from within the source to all parallel universes.

'——！！！'

Even if the quality of a single parallel world is not very high, and cannot be compared with universes such as Saint Seiya, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Kazunari, No Game No Life, and Godkiller, it has the advantage of being plentiful and satisfying.

Mercury's ability to achieve diversity is exemplified by the fact that a single hair can crush the mass of a universe. If we take this as a standard, even if it were to crush the most ordinary everyday world, the sheer number of universes that Night needs to control would still be considerable.

Ordinary conceptual universes simply cannot satisfy Ye's tastes. He has no way to capture the parallel worlds of those worlds, and if he were to directly capture the main universe, such as going to Indian mythology—once he tries to swallow up this mythological universe, the Triads Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva would probably all jump out and gang up on him.

Furthermore, without global authority, the world's consciousness would instinctively resist during the process of annexing other worlds, and the outflow of reason would become extremely slow. With all these troublesome conditions piling up, achieving multiverse would be a very long time coming.

Are there many parallel universes in the lunar world?!

To be honest, there are quite a few. Ye thought back for a moment and realized that the Fifth World War alone had several parallel worlds depending on the different endings of the game.

This is only what he knows, not including those locations.

Considering that even this boring, broken cup war has spawned so many branches.

There are countless parallel universes that emerged after those important historical transitions and divergent points.

The Root is like a large receiver and transmitter, enabling it to accurately render all of the world.

Even theoretically superfluous nutrients—unacceptable 'singularities' and 'lossbelts'—could thus avoid their fate of destruction.

Thinking about it this way—"Isn't this...the savior of Singularities and Lostbelts?"

Night—He was a kind-hearted man who couldn't bear to see the world fall apart!

Very good—but—first he needs to be able to observe the lunar world.
