Main God Creation Rules

The samurai hesitated for a moment, but then, at the leader's signal, he handed over the narrow blade at his waist.

Lin Yi took the katana and gently tapped the blade. The crisp sound echoed in the carriage, and he couldn't help but show a satisfied expression: "Although the purity of the metal is a bit lacking, this level is probably sufficient."

"Mr. Singed, you want us to fight the Kabane with these weapons?"

The samurai leader frowned, not because he was dissatisfied with the weapon, but quite the opposite. As a traditional weapon of the samurai, these katana held special symbolic meaning for every samurai in Japan who embodied the samurai spirit. Being able to wield such a weapon against enemies was the long-cherished wish of every samurai, and their samurai education from childhood was mostly focused on using this weapon. Even with the advent of the more advanced weapon, the "steam tube," this custom remained unchanged.

However, this "sacred" weapon became completely ineffective when facing a monster called the Kabane.

"These katanas can at most sever the heads and limbs of the Kabane; to pierce their vital organs... their hearts are simply impossible."

As he spoke, perhaps out of hatred for this cruel reality, the samurai leader unconsciously clenched his hands.

Seeing this, Lin Yi smiled: "Of course, these weapons alone are not enough to deal with the Kabane in an emergency, but..."

He pulled a net-like object, still stained with blood, from his backpack and wrapped it around the blade under the unpleasant gaze of the katana's owner. Then he handed it back to its owner, pointing to the metal wall on the side of the carriage.

"Why don't you try slashing it?"

The samurai, Wenyan, gripped his katana again, his expression turning annoyed: "What's the point of this—"

"Urataro, listen to Mr. Singed!"

Seeing the network of black and red bloodstains on the katana, the samurai leader realized something and his eyes lit up. At the same time, he shouted, "Just cut! Stop talking nonsense!"

Gritting his teeth, the samurai gripped his katana and let out a shout, then, in a fit of despair, forcefully slashed at the katana, which had been passed down for three generations.

“clang——————”

The scene of the fragile blade breaking as expected did not occur... The katana, which should have broken, was now deeply embedded in the side of the carriage. In a way that no one, including the samurai who swung the sword, could understand, the "weak" had cut through the "strong".

Involuntarily, everyone's gaze was drawn to the smiling Mr. Singed, and some of the warriors even unconsciously developed a fanatical look in their eyes. For this unenlightened and ignorant era, being able to do such a thing was probably no different from being a "god".

"the reason is simple."

Without intending to keep them in suspense any longer—after all, the Kabane, who were closing in from behind, weren't going to sit down and rest—Lin Yi began to explain after achieving the desired effect: "This thing..."

Pointing to the network-like pattern on the blade that had slashed into the side of the carriage, Lin Yi asked the samurai leader, "Do you know what it is?"

Only now did the latter reveal an expression other than solemnity: "If I'm not mistaken—could this be the Kabane's heart membrane?!"

"To be precise, it's the outer membrane of the heart... Through dissection, I discovered that the Kabane's heart is different from a human's, and the most fundamental reason is this outer metallic membrane. It possesses strength, flexibility, and density that other materials cannot match, which is why neither steam cylinders nor metal blades can effectively damage it. However, if the same metallic membrane is wrapped around the blade, it can maximize the blade's sharpness while increasing its usability... With the added strength, even you can easily use these weapons to kill the Kabane."

An individual's power is ultimately limited, so even after obtaining the "Main God" as a springboard to infinite power, Lin Yi still had to seek the emergence of more reincarnators in order to plunder many worlds with maximum efficiency.

Similarly, given limited resources, the assistance of native creatures is essential in order to collect the most "raw materials" in the shortest amount of time.

Making contact with the survivors who escaped from the Juben Post Station and gaining their trust—their similarly harrowing experiences greatly reduced each other's wariness, and coupled with some incentives, it was quite expected that they would achieve such a result.

Then, the "natives" were given the power and weapons to fight the infected. The first real battle was less than 24 hours after the fall of the Great Base Station. The reason why they had to face the Kabane so soon was simple.

"The railway ahead has been destroyed!"

As the armored city suddenly came to a stop, the first thing Lin Yi heard as he hurriedly got into the engine compartment was this.

"Can't it be fixed?!"

"No, because we left Jubenyi in such a hurry that we didn't have time to bring the repair tools, and the damage was too thorough to be repaired in a short time."

The samurai leader slammed his fist on the carriage, saying angrily, "Damn it, why did it have to be now!"

Just then, a weary voice suddenly rang out: "That's exactly what happens at times like this."

"Your Excellency General!"

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the Shogun, whose hair was already mostly white, walk to the front of the carriage and look at the railway ahead. He said in a heavy tone, "Honda, why do you think the railway is damaged?"

"Uh...it's not because of the weather or any animals passing by..."

"See clearly."

The Shogun shook his head: "Those marks...don't you remember?"

The samurai leader was taken aback upon hearing this, then subconsciously looked in the direction the shogun was pointing. After a moment, he could not hide his astonishment: "Traces of a gunpowder explosion... How is that possible!"

“Nothing is impossible. Although I only stayed in the Shogunate for less than two years before being deported and having only a nominal title, I still think I know those guys. Since the Shogunate has issued an order for a nationwide blockade, it must have considered that there would be people who want to escape from the blockade. At this time, as long as the railway, which is the only passage, is destroyed, all problems can be solved.”

The samurai leader gritted his teeth: "What do they take us for!"

A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, which he quickly concealed before anyone could notice. Only then did Lin Yi step into the room: "They treat us as Kabane, or humans who are about to become Kabane."

"Mr. Singed!"

"Please calm down, General... Although I had anticipated this situation, I did not expect it to be this bad."

He paused, then continued, "However, we are not the same as we were before. Since our path forward is blocked, we can only think about charging forward again."

"Yes."

Taking a deep breath and calming his anger, the samurai leader solemnly declared, "For the general, for the people, we will fight to the last drop of blood. For this, we hope Mr. Singed can lend us a hand!"

As he spoke, the noble warrior lowered his head deeply, completely unable to see the suppressed emotions in the eyes of the "Singed" man before him.

"Cough cough... Of course, after all, I'm just a grasshopper on a straw. If this last 'barrier' is breached, I won't be in much better shape."

Thus, the last obstacle in the way of the "plan" was completely destroyed by a single action of the distant Shogunate rulers, and what Lin Yi needed to do next became unexpectedly simple.

"Wait a moment... it'll be ready soon."

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

Just as the samurai were nervously preparing for the inevitable arrival of the Kabane, Lin Yi, who had forcibly occupied a section of the carriage under the pretext of "adjusting the medicine," suddenly asked the being in his mind, "God, what is the probability that the infection will spread to northern Japan?"

[99.37%]

He paused for a moment, then realized that he had asked the question in the wrong way.

"The probability of the infection spreading to the north within a month"

[33.87%]

"So it seems that this method of spatially isolating the virus by disrupting transportation is effective?"

[It has been confirmed that the World III T-virus has mutated and no longer possesses the ability to spread through the air. Furthermore, its activity is relatively reduced in low-temperature environments, making it unable to effectively infect living organisms.]

"It's still winter now."

Perhaps it was because his constitution had been enhanced along with his cold resistance after being infected by the virus, but although Ironclad City was moving northward, Lin Yi did not really feel that it was cold.

"According to latitude and longitude, the further north you go, the lower the activity of the virus, and the lower the probability of infection will be... However, this only applies to winter. Once this season is over, they will not have any effective means of resistance, and they will probably be close to extinction."

The supreme deity remained silent.

"However, before that day actually arrives, the most important thing to deal with is this damn virus."

As he said this, he untied the bandage tightly wrapped around his right arm.

Because it was still winter, the arm had been covered with long-sleeved clothing so it didn't look too strange. However, as time went on, the arm, which was the source of the infection, inevitably began to change. Leaving aside the internal changes, the fact that the external appearance had gradually changed from "dim" to "bright" was already quite troublesome.

"God, how much time do we have left?"

[98 hours 55 minutes 13 seconds]

"Only four days left..."

Gently stroking the skin that had begun to change from the suppleness of flesh to the stiffness of metal, Lin Yi frowned: "Let's pray that the first batch of Kabane isn't too many or too few, otherwise it will be troublesome from any angle."

Too many would be impossible for unarmed civilians and samurai who had barely received a day of "training" to handle, and too few would...

"There's nothing else we can do but accept it."

Looking at the churning green liquid on the experimental table, Lin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.

The warriors, who were nervously preparing to deal with the approaching Kabane, naturally did not understand the plans of "Mr. Singed," the source of their confidence. For them, the fewer Kabane that would appear, the better, since they had no reason to actively fight against these monsters since they could not gain any benefit from them.

Their only hope was to withstand the Kabane's onslaught before the railway was repaired, and then continue their escape towards the towns and cities behind them. Whether they could obtain entry permits upon reaching other towns and cities was another matter entirely.

And so, time slowly passed...

Thirty-seven hours after the fall of Kohon-eki, the samurai on duty spotted the first Kabane in sight. As the piercing ringing of the bell rang in the dead of night, everyone, whether completely awake or half-asleep, got up in a panic.

"The numbers, their numbers!"

"Which direction did they come from—?"

"Weapons, damn it, don't block my way!"

"Let the civilians return to the armored vehicles, adult men take up arms, and women, children and infants hide in the innermost part."

……

Although the situation was chaotic at times, at least they were mentally prepared and it wouldn't be like at Juben Station where they were completely scattered before anyone could even get in. When Lin Yi arrived at the front carriage, which was serving as a temporary command post, with the last bottle of high-grade enhancement potion, news about the Kabane reconnaissance was coming in steadily.

"The number is probably around 50. Because it's nighttime, I can't be sure of the exact number, but it won't exceed 70 at most."

"They came from the southwest, they must have been following the railway line from Juben Station..."

"So, those monsters ran that distance on two legs?!"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere at the scene erupted in another uproar. After all, to run on one's own two feet a distance that would take several hours even at the fastest train speed in two days is simply a pipe dream for ordinary people.

Seeing the tense atmosphere on the scene again, Lin Yi had to stand up and comfort him, saying, "This is good news."

"Mr. Singed?"

"Whether or not they possess any concept of spiritual will, the Kabane's physical body also has its limits. Although they cannot feel fatigue due to nerve paralysis, prolonged exercise will inevitably lead to a decline in physical strength, while we have had ample rest time. It is obvious which is stronger."

"Yup!"

Even a Kabane would get tired after running for so long.

"We also have weapons to deal with them."

"Fight them!"

Facing the warriors whose fighting spirit had risen once again, Lin Yi nodded to the warrior leader who showed gratitude.

The latter stood up and shouted to the warriors present, "Gentlemen, I don't need to explain the importance of this battle. Kill those monsters!"

"kill!"

Shouting slogans that were more symbolic than practical, the warriors, their fighting spirit high, drew their katana from their waists and filed out.

[A pointless action that brings no benefit other than increasing the probability of revealing one's location.]

"Who knows? At least for them, there's a big difference between shouting this slogan and not shouting it."

[Incomprehensible]

"From our perspective, there's no need to understand it."

He paused, then asked, "Lord God, what are the odds of winning?"

Considering both sides' subjective fighting spirit and objective qualities, the probability of victory is approximately 69.45%.

"Seventy percent...that's already pretty good. I thought it would be around sixty percent at most."

The host's assessment of the infected's current state is correct. Sustained high-intensity exercise will lead to a decrease in the infected's stamina, reducing its base attribute values.

Even so, we still have the advantage against them.

Through the layers of night, thanks to his base attributes being more than twice that of an ordinary person, Lin Yi didn't expend much effort to spot an infected body in his field of vision, and quickly calculated its various attributes through the main god.

Infected (Kabane)

Strength: 16 (18)

Physique: 15 (19)

Agility: 16 (21)

Special condition: Physical fatigue (decreased basic attributes)

Correspondingly, those samurai who used diluted enhancement potions were:
