Main God Creation Rules

"Fool, do you think we're all blind and can't see?"

Anmu Sanshi slapped his noisy underling to the ground, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty as he looked at the huge distress signal. Just as he was about to speak, Sada Mudo had already begun mobilizing the survivors.

"Those people have nothing to do with us!"

He said, in a tone that was both emphasizing and threatening, "There are five hundred dead bodies on the playground, and who knows how many more in the classrooms. Do you really want to kill them all one by one to save two unrelated students?!"

A pale-faced student in a school uniform said, "Megurigaoka Academy has about three hundred students in each grade, and with the faculty and staff, it should only have about a thousand people..."

"You you on the line!"

Pointing angrily at the student who had offered his explanation, Sadamoto said, "There are only about a thousand, and you've got them all!"

Clearly, upon hearing this impossible order, the student, who had only wanted to demonstrate his "value" within the survivor group to avoid being abandoned, panicked: "I...I didn't mean that—"

"Why waste your breath on him?!"

The other two survivors, who were originally meant to be bait, were overjoyed to see this. Fearing that Sadamoto might change his mind, they rushed over, one covering his mouth and the other holding his hands, while arguing, "This kid might be planning to shout and attract zombies to die with us!"

The hesitant survivors immediately shut up and watched in silence as the pale-faced, desperate student was pushed into the school gate, which was stained with blood behind him, and then the gate was locked again.

In the end, it was Sadagi who gave him a glimmer of hope: "Go, lure those zombies, just five at a time, and once you have fifty, I'll let you out!"

A thousand? Let alone an ordinary high school student, even the strongest person in the world probably couldn't possibly lure the undead back and forth in this school 200 times in a row. But if it's only fifty...

Swallowing hard, the student finally realized that no one would stand up for him and abandoned his unrealistic fantasy. Embracing fear and hatred, he gripped his only weapon—if he could, he would have preferred to smash it over the heads of the survivors outside rather than the sluggish corpses in the distance.

Cautiously, the survivor took a step forward...

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

I have a question.

More than the internal strife among the survivors, Lin Yi was concerned about the unknown number of survivors in the academy. He was staring intently at the curtain hanging on the wall and the distress signal written on it in what looked like chalk, trying to glean some information about the survivors in the academy.

"If a candidate lacks the ability to complete the task and relies on other survivors to do most of it... Take the current zombie killing as an example. If the survivors choose to let one of them take the risk of luring the zombies while they sit back and reap the rewards, should their rewards be differentiated in such cases?"

Before the main god could answer, Lin Yi immediately rejected the idea: "No...doing so would only limit the candidates' abilities. Strength or intelligence, as long as they can complete the mission, that's fine. After all, we're selecting raiders, not law-abiding citizens."

[A contribution system can be added, which calculates rewards based on an individual's contribution rate to task completion, thus preventing passive resistance to the main task process.]

Lin Yi's expression froze for a moment, then he said in surprise, "There's such a thing? But let's forget about it for now. It's just a simple screening, it's not worth wasting so many resources on observation... Hmm?"

The last question mark is not directed at the main god, but at the survivors hiding in the school.

It seems that after seeing the group of survivors below push one of them into the school, they changed their minds and immediately put away the distress signal flag.

During this process, Lin Yi "accidentally" saw the figure of a survivor who had put away the flag.

"……girl?"

Lin Yi glanced at the group of survivors below, who were still nervously observing the students luring the zombies, and shook his head: "They seem to be quite united..."

An incomprehensible judgment

"If you're a selfish individual like the survivors below, then continuing to seek help and joining Wu Yi VII Ba Ba 〇 Qi Liu Yi's group would be a better choice, because for every selfish individual, having more scapegoats is always a good thing."

The group is too small to form a effective counterattack.

"If that's the concern, then you shouldn't have sent out the distress signal in the first place when you saw them."

He paused, then added, "Moreover, they have women among their members."

It seems that women are inherently less likely to survive such "natural disasters" than men, not only in terms of the probability of being infected by the virus but also in terms of surviving from the corpses. Among the 31 survivors, there was not a single woman. Lin Yi figured that even if there were, they would probably have been abandoned on the way to escape.

But now a new female survivor has appeared on campus... Whatever the reason, asking the group below for help seems like a bad choice.

But that wasn't the worst part. What frustrated Wakasa Yuri the most was: "We've run out of food."

Impulse and hesitation swirled in the mind of the surviving girl. One urged her to send out the distress signal again, while the other made her think it over: compared to joining those unknown survivor groups, the danger was not much lower than rushing out of the school.

But in any case, it was destined that this campus could not be held onto—all three people present knew this clearly.

"...Wait a minute, those people wouldn't come to school for no reason; they must have some purpose."

As the only "combatant" present, Ebisu Kurumi suggested, "Observe further before deciding what to do."

"Ok!"

However, whether they were underground or in the academy, all the survivors forgot one thing.

School gate.

"Hey, what's that kid doing... If he makes a sound there, at least fifty corpses will be attracted, right?"

"Fool, can't you see it yet—"

Suppressing his anger, Sata Kito gritted his teeth: "That guy actually dared to betray us!"

Ultimately, Hiroji Ito didn't have many choices left. He either had to honestly risk his life to lure zombies and demonstrate his value, or he would end up like he is now...

"crash"

Even with the most careful movements, the soles of the shoes inevitably made a sound when they stepped on the broken glass. A corpse not far away suddenly stopped moving away and slowly turned in this direction.

At that moment, Hiroji Ito thought about many things, and then he chose the final "option".

"Help me!!!"

Carrying countless roaring corpses, this cowardly survivor, driven by fear, used all his remaining strength to rush into the academy.

Prototype: Chapter 9 Candidates

When you are making a plan, at a minimum you should consider what you will need to do if the plan fails.

Before the survivor, who had been used as bait and thrown into the school, truly made his own choice, neither the majority of survivors outside the school who forced him to do so, nor the few survivors who remained on campus to observe the situation outside, nor even Lin Yi himself could have imagined that he would do such a thing. It was almost as if—

"Seeking one's own death"

Looking at the corpses crowding towards the classroom door where the survivors were entering after hearing the cries for help, Lin Yi made a judgment immediately.

Putting aside whether the group of survivors hiding on campus could handle so many zombies, his idea of ​​breaking away from his original group of survivors and joining another group was doomed to fail.

Even the most foolish person would never choose to accept a teammate who is prone to abandoning the team and putting others in danger. Rather than accepting this newcomer, they are more likely to choose to expel or eliminate this unstable factor.

But none of these things mattered to Lin Yi. Compared to the academy's inevitable fall, he was more concerned about the majority of survivors outside who were desperately waiting for their teammates to "lure the monsters," only to face a different fate.

There is not much time left before the task deadline.

"Fight these monsters!"

"Quickly, while their attention is diverted, escape!"

"Idiot! What do we do now that the mission is over?!"

"Is the mission more important or one's life?"

……

The many buried conflicts inevitably erupted when the team faced a huge crisis. Even the most timid survivors dared to shout their anger at anyone at this moment. Under such circumstances, even Sadamoto, the captain of the survivors, had to give up the "control" he had finally managed to seize and choose to appease rather than suppress.

Ultimately, the survivor group split into two parts due to two diametrically opposed opinions. One part was determined to stay and "complete the mission": they preferred to fight to the death with the small number of zombies that broke out rather than endure the "punishment" of being worse than death.

Of course, what drove them to make this choice was not just the "mission punishment," but more so their dissatisfaction and despair with the world that had been shattered by the virus. They may have had the idea of ​​venting or finding "relief" in this way.

The other group of survivors chose to flee for a simpler reason.

"I want to live..."

Witnessing the increasingly distorted faces around him, contorted with anger or fear, Shinnosuke Kita retreated while muttering to himself, his initial hesitation turning into determination—when he saw the corpses rushing towards him, his resolve completely solidified.

"I want to live!!!"

He has already given up too much for this life—his family, his parents, his wife and children… how could he possibly give it up here?

He forcefully shoved aside a survivor in front of him and turned to flee without even turning his head.

This action triggered the decisive collapse of the fragile alliance of the survivors. Most of the survivors scattered and fled to places they thought were safe, while a small number gripped their weapons and resolved to face the impending "battle".

Sadagi stayed in the latter part.

Undoubtedly, as the "top combatant," he once again gained control of the team. Although the numbers and efficiency were significantly reduced compared to before, he still did his best to find some guarantee for his survival.

"Let those cowards go, they'll regret it!"

To prevent more survivors from fleeing the group, Sadamitsu had no choice but to continue uttering words that offered no help in the battle: "The punishment from that [God] was already so painful in its first stage; if we fail again, it will only get worse. Besides, are we really incapable of fighting these mindless monsters?"

"Just one hit—smash this hard on their heads, and they'll be dead! Trust me, they're not as scary as you think."

Amu Sanji also chose to stay, but his reasons were different from those of the other survivors. Originally, Amu Sanji planned to escape with the other survivors, but after seeing Sadamitsu's actions, he inexplicably felt a strange emotion—definitely not a positive one—and under the influence of this emotion, he chose to stay and become one of the thirteen survivors determined to "complete the mission".

He also didn't intend to die here: "Most of the zombies have rushed into the teaching building; we only need to face a small portion."

Waving a steel pipe in his hand: "There are several of us against one, what are you afraid of!"

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

"The processes and reasons may differ, but as long as the result is correct, that's enough."

Looking at the survivor team in the distance, which had lost more than half of its members, Lin Yi untied the steel crossbow and arrow quiver on his back and installed them one by one.

A mechanical "voice" from the supreme deity echoed in my mind.

[Meaning unclear]

"Well, in the past, when looking at something, I always thought the process was more important than the result, but now... what do you think of the candidates who stayed on?"

[Physical and psychological factors are below the team average.]

What about the group that escaped?

[Physical and mental qualities are above the team average]

"That's the point. Perhaps many of the survivors who chose to leave did so with a calm mindset, because they lacked sufficient confidence to face the approaching zombies and chose to temporarily avoid the storm rather than simply being influenced by fear. Or perhaps some of these candidates will become powerful reincarnators of the God's Space in the future because of this calmness and decisiveness. But unfortunately... God, aim for me."

【Target lock】

With Bashan O⑼jd Lingqi⑼wuVI,II aimed at the wary figure trying to escape, Lin Yi gently pulled the trigger.

"rub------"

In the midst of the chaos, no one noticed the brief sound, and no one paid any attention to the figure that had suddenly fallen.

"What the current God Realm needs is not a calm and decisive 'candidate'..."

The former increases the possibility of exposure, while the latter increases the probability of betrayal. In comparison, those candidates who choose to stay and fight, who are impulsive and blind, are more suitable... at least for this "main god" who has not even taken shape yet.

Prototype: Chapter 10 Annihilation Unlock Conditions

In worlds where magic or cultivation abilities exist, the powers possessed by the main gods do not seem particularly special; the same effects can be achieved through mysterious magic or powerful spells.

However, in a world where neither magic nor spells exist, the power of the supreme god becomes quite convenient—especially now that the old order has been destroyed by the virus.

Relying on the God's location of those who had escaped, Lin Yi dealt with the last survivor without any unexpected incidents.

Those who fled focused all their energy on getting away from the undead, but were completely unprepared for attacks from their own kind. Perhaps in their minds, the survivors who remained should have already been torn apart and devoured by the zombies, or perhaps they had become one of the many undead. So why would they come specifically to deal with them?

The only entity that would target these survivors under these circumstances is probably the "God." The second phase of mental interference lasts for twenty minutes... The sword of Morix still hangs over everyone's heads. When the last survivor hid in what he thought was a safe corner, silently counting down to prepare for the punishment, he was surprised to find that nothing had happened.

"The time hasn't come yet? No, it should have already passed—"

Looking at the watch on his wrist, Shinnosuke Kita was certain that he hadn't misremembered the time when he heard the voice in his mind give the mission deadline.

The time limit is 4 hours, but it has been 4 hours and 3 minutes and nothing has happened yet.

He was also certain that his watch wasn't malfunctioning. As the first gift his wife, who had turned into a zombie, had given him, Shinnosuke Kita had taken good care of it even during their escape, so it couldn't have been damaged for no reason.

After eliminating all the impossible factors, it seems that only one possibility remains in front of us—

"The Supreme God...has left?"

As if afraid of being overheard by some being, Shinnosuke Kita lowered his voice and nervously looked around.

The corner I had chosen was empty, neither alive nor dead; only the faint, noisy sounds coming from the direction of the campus.

Instead of being frustrated by the lack of response, Shinnosuke Kita was thrilled. After all, given a choice, no one would want to face an endless horde of undead, nor would anyone willingly obey a "mission" issued by some unknown entity, and no one would want to experience such a living hell.

"Those fools, what so-called supreme god, it's all just an illusion—"

In his emotional state, he overlooked many details, including the dust falling from above, the unusual shaking of the wall behind him, and the footsteps that sounded in the distance and then suddenly disappeared...

"That's right, it must be because you ate something unclean that caused that, or it could be a virus causing hallucinations... As long as we leave here, everything will be fine!"

With his confidence growing stronger, the survivor cast aside his last hesitation and set off to proceed based on the findings of the survivor camp. Just then, he seemed to hear the sound of something heavy falling.
