Main God Creation Rules

Having acquired extraordinary abilities and status, many disciplinary committee members, in the eyes of seasoned veterans, tend to position themselves from a different perspective than ordinary people, as seen now—

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

While sternly questioning the disciplinary committee member, who wore an armband on his shoulder, "inadvertently" demonstrated his abilities, saying that dealing with a homeless person was a piece of cake.

Before Lin Yi could answer, the disciplinary committee member directly assessed Lin Yi's identity: "A criminal who sneaks into Academy City without the committee's permission, come back with me immediately for questioning, or I will launch an attack as necessary, depending on the circumstances."

Lin Yi, suddenly labeled a "criminal," shut his mouth, glancing at the disciplinary committee member in front of him who clearly didn't want to face him.

The performers waited for their contact to arrive.

Apparently believing Lin Yi had given up and resigned himself to his fate, the disciplinary committee member quickened his pace and approached, just as his outstretched hand was about to touch Lin Yi—

"what are you doing?"

"—!"

Even turning around at top speed wouldn't dodge the sudden sweeping palm. In the end, all the aggressive ability user could do was try to protect his face with his ability. With the direct collision between the palm and his cheek, he was sent flying a short distance and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

After dealing with the ability user as easily as swatting a fly, the newcomer turned to Lin Yi and adopted a respectful attitude: "Welcome. My master sent me to greet you. Shall we depart now?"

Lin Yi glanced at the ability user whose cheek was swollen on one side and said in a subtle tone, "Of course, let's go then."

A few minutes later, the ability user, who had gotten up from the ground, covered his right cheek and opened the communicator: "Sorry... Renwu failed... Yes... the tower was taken away... Yes, the tower too..."

Unbeknownst to the person on the other end, the disciplinary committee member's tone suddenly became extremely agitated: "What?! This is Academy City—our city of espers! Why should we tolerate outsiders at every turn?!"

"...I understand...I'll go back right away."

After hanging up the communication, the ability user looked grimly in the direction where the two had disappeared: "Wait, outsiders."

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

It's clear that the person in charge of managing the more than 20,000 transmigrators in this academy city has extremely high taste in life. Not only is the demi-human who comes to greet them calling himself "butler," but also the car that serves as the pick-up—neither of these are things that can be obtained easily.

Unbeknownst to him, Lin Yi also noticed a reality during his journey to his destination.

"Is it locked down?"

"Yes, my master's time is quite precious. It is certainly necessary to use it to entertain distinguished guests like you, but it would be a grave sin for these inferior species to waste their waiting time."

Ignoring the crowds and roads around them that were unusually congested due to the road closures, the demi-human spoke the words "inferior species" with a calm and matter-of-fact expression. Considering its attitude towards the ability user just now, Lin Yi could roughly guess the positions and current situation of the Academy City and the Transmigrators' Alliance.

A few minutes later, Lin Yi arrived at a manor that covered an area close to that of the largest academy for ability users in the academy. Guided by several demi-human servants, he finally met this veteran transmigrator who was quite feared in the memories of the "veteran".

"Welcome, newcomer."

The veteran's name is Tamar, or at least that's what he publicly claims.

From the moment he discovered Academy City, a world with a "flawed system," he had been serving as the world's transmigrator administrator, mainly responsible for adjusting and allocating other transmigrators who entered this world. In reality, it was a sinecure that required him to do nothing.

"Hehehe, I know what you're worried about, Aleister? Consult the Church? Or those ability users? No, you don't need to worry about anything. In this world, our Transmigrator Alliance is the most powerful organization. Even if all the magicians and ability users in the world are added together, they can't compare to even half a finger of the Alliance. So in this Academy City, you can do whatever you want without worrying about anything."

In the brief conversation, this veteran time traveler displayed the same attitude as his demi-human servants: contempt and disdain for native life. In this respect, he may have shared many common ground with the already deceased "veteran."

Of course, Lin Yi had no intention of changing his attitude, but instead asked another question.

"Why am I the one welcoming you? Oh, I forgot you're still a newcomer. The administrators established by the Transmigrator Alliance are different from those self-appointed administrators. I can know the abilities of every transmigrator who enters this managed area for the first time. Normally, you should be received by my subordinates or my demi-human servants, but... hehe, a double S-level ability rating is the first time I've seen it in this Academy City. For a newcomer with potential like you, of course, the closer the better."

His words, however, made no attempt to conceal his true purpose.

Presumably optimistic about Lin Yi's future prospects, the administrator granted Lin Yi a special privilege upon his departure—

"You know the plot of A Certain Magical Index, right? If not, that's okay. They'll tell you when you contact the other transmigrators. The first phase of the plot will start soon, and you can get whatever you want in the plot as you wish. At the same time, I will have others forbidden from contacting the characters in the plot... Don't worry, you deserve all of this."

"As a future 'Absolute Power User'."

Information Integration Thought System: Chapter 553 The Transmigrator's "Concession"

The more Lin Yi came into contact with this "time traveler alliance," the more curious he became about these people who called themselves "time travelers."

Some people feel an overwhelming sense of emotion towards "plot characters," even to the point of being killed by the characters themselves, yet they refuse to give up their unrealistic ideas. Others, however, treat "plot characters" with contempt and disdain, regarding them more like disposable objects than as people.

These complex individuals, brought together by a framework that lacks mandatory constraints and based on the remnants of the "Main God Space," have created the "Transmigrator Alliance," an organization that blends beauty and cruelty.

In the memories of the "veteran," he had witnessed some worlds where transmigrators and native characters coexisted peacefully. In those worlds, the transmigrators were almost integrated into the original world, living together with the characters and stories as if they were one with the original world.

However, the current world of "Academy City" is completely the opposite.

Admittedly, in this world where both technology and thought have developed to a certain level, it is impossible to implement a system like slavery. However, the transcendent status of transmigrators in the entire Academy City clearly reveals a "class gap" that is incompatible with an egalitarian system.

In just two days, Lin Yi witnessed a certain transmigrator wantonly bullying those with low or no abilities on more than one occasion, with no one daring to stop him. It was only because Academy City's surveillance system was so effective that capable people quickly arrived to intervene and stop him; otherwise, given their momentum, they seemed determined to cause a death.

In summary, Academy City currently operates under two class systems.

The first system is the "ability level system" that the time traveler mentioned originally existed in the story.

The stronger and higher the level of a person's ability, the higher their status. Although there is no explicit rule, their treatment and benefits are incomparable to those with low or no abilities.

However, because of this ability level, many weaker ability users often encounter bullying from gangs of non-ability users... So far, this is just a contradiction within the "plot" itself.

However, the arrival of time travelers presents another, even more acute phenomenon.

Even those who possess no abilities are equivalent to LV3 ability users in terms of basic social status, and have the right to bully lower-level ability users at will without facing severe punishment. Not to mention those transmigrators who do possess abilities, they are almost all like the "second generation" of the Origin World.

What's even more unacceptable to the characters in the original story is that the transmigrators' system is still independent of Academy City and is not under the jurisdiction of the committee or the disciplinary committee. Even if they bully the weak, they can only receive a verbal warning. Any further punishment must be approved by the transmigrator administrator, namely the transmigrators led by Tama, before it can be implemented.

This series of phenomena inevitably reminded Lin Yi of a unique term in the Origin World: concession.

On its own territory, it follows the laws of others. It cannot even protect its own people, let alone uphold the fairness and rigor of its own laws. In a sense, the current Academy City is far too similar to a concession.

Due to the special nature of his environment, Lin Yi had to make some cuts to his original plan. On the third day after arriving in Academy City, the day before the "plot" was about to begin, Lin Yi was invited to a chat room created by the "tree diagram designer".

There were only three members inside, but without exception, they were all transmigrators who had accepted Tama's invitation and had the privilege of participating in the "plot".

Because he had never met them directly, Lin Yi didn't know their specific information. However, based on the "casual" hint from the transmigrator administrator, he could roughly determine that one of them had an A-level ability, one had a double B-level ability, and one had developed an ability to B+ level.

In this comparison, Lin Yi also realized that he had been somewhat careless in choosing to use the "gravity" and "repulsion" of the rule system as seeds to enter this world. Although they were only two systems that were better than nothing in the fragment war, the overall situation determined that these abilities would have a decisive role at the low level.

In addition to this, the transmigrators also have other knowledge about the unique ability rating system of this world.

Based on the ratings A, B, C, D, E, and F, transmigrators can develop these abilities to the levels of LV6 (absolute ability), LV5 (superpower), LV4 (great ability), LV3 (strong ability), LV2 (different ability), and LV (weak ability) respectively. In other words, the transmigrator with an A rating has the potential to develop their abilities to an absolute level, while the transmigrator who has already developed their abilities to B+ level possesses the combat power to directly confront the strongest ability users in Academy City.

If you calculate the two S ratings Lin Yi currently has, it's impossible not to notice them.

Perhaps for this reason, although he had only been in Academy City for less than three days and had been living a secluded life since meeting the administrator, Lin Yi's existence was quickly known and spread among the transmigrators in Academy City... Lin Yi was certain that the person who caused this situation, the transmigrator administrator, was definitely not motivated by a positive intention to increase his own fame.

Because the inviter was that administrator, Lin Yi didn't intend to hide his identity and directly revealed his "true identity" before starting to discuss tomorrow's plot.

As expected, these three time travelers who have the "power" to participate in the plot have their own needs.

One wanted the "Index of Forbidden Books," which contained 103,000 magic books.

One is a "fantasy killer" who wants the male protagonist.

The last requirement is the "Saint's Mark" for the female supporting character, Kanzaki Kaori.

Because there is a penalty mechanism for attacking characters in the main storyline, and the administrators also prohibit any interference with these characters, these transmigrators were unable to find an opportunity to act before the storyline began. They could only find an opportunity during the period after the storyline started.

And what these time travelers meant by "opportunity" was soon revealed.

[Transmigrators who attack characters from the story will be punished, but characters from the story who attack other characters from the story may not be punished.]

Currently, there are 20 outsiders in Academy City, but only 10% of them are true transmigrators, while 90% are characters from other worlds. What do you think they are here for?

Information Integration Thought Entity: Chapter 554 Plot

The next day.

The "actors" who were supposed to take the stage were already in place, and the "audience" was paying attention to this drama whose ending they already knew in their own way. Only those who were playing the "roles" themselves were kept in the dark and were about to experience the greatest "adventure" of their lives.

Unlike the three transmigrators who were hiding somewhere and trying to get what they wanted from the "plot" in some way, Lin Yi didn't plan to interfere too much in the early stages of the "plot" because he didn't know much about this world. He just found a relatively far area to watch the "grand show" that the transmigrators and the characters in the plot were putting on together... It was indeed a "grand show".

The moment the male protagonist opened the balcony window and saw the "Index to Forbidden Books," marking the "start of the plot," the demi-human assassin who had been lurking nearby snatched the petite "Index to Forbidden Books" and, to the male protagonist's stunned gaze, kicked the balcony railing at a 90-degree angle, leaping high into the distance.

The first person to think about "eating crabs" appeared, and the second and third followed closely behind.

Before the demi-human that had just succeeded could even land on the ground, with a heavy roar, its entire head shattered into pieces like a watermelon smashed by a hammer. The "Index to Forbidden Books" that it had been holding plummeted downwards. Another demi-human that tried to intercept it was knocked away by a metal object that rushed out from behind a wall. Judging from its twisted limbs, its survival rate was probably no more than 5%. However, the last one to succeed also failed to hold onto its "fruits of victory" for long.

Amid a series of teeth-grinding metallic creaks, the humanoid metal machine was dismantled by a nearly three-meter-tall "giant" with his bare hands. Then, it picked up the unconscious female protagonist like a chick and looked around for a possible sixth robber.

"Bang!"

Unsurprisingly, the sniper hidden in the shadows did not give up. Instead, he used his distance advantage to attack the "giant" who suddenly made his move, but the result was completely different from when he dealt with the demi-humans.

With an agility far exceeding what was expected, the "giant" extended his other hand and slowly opened it, revealing a twisted bullet in his still-smoking palm.

Many transmigrators who witnessed this scene gasped in shock. Apart from a few who were still unwilling to give up, most chose to retreat—the story was far from over, and there was no need to provoke an opponent of this caliber at the very beginning.

However, after many people chose to retreat, a few who had been lying in wait officially made their move.

"Mutant Hulk bloodline?"

Perhaps realizing that long-range sniping was no longer effective, the girl, who had originally planned to hide in the shadows and take over the "target," had to step out and face the terrifying pressure from the "giant": "Although I had heard about the existence of monsters like you from my employer, seeing it with my own eyes is still incredible."

After sizing up the girl with the scarlet twin ponytails, the "giant" asked in a deep, resonant voice, "Aria, the one with twin swords and twin pistols?"

"That's right, it seems my fame is still quite high even in different worlds~"

"Currently, only a few of us in Academy City are capable of taking action against her. If we didn't even know this basic information, we would probably have been killed long ago."

As he spoke, the "giant" waved the unconscious "Index to Forbidden Books" in his hand: "Is your employer's target also her?"

"If you know, hand that child over to me right now, or I'll make holes in you!"

He casually pried open a few bricks from the wall and grinned disdainfully: "With just your two toy guns?"

After the unsurprisingly failed negotiations, the two "plot characters" hired by the time traveler resumed their battle. However, it was obvious to everyone that the twin-tailed girl was at a huge disadvantage. If it weren't for the occasional attacks from snipers, she would probably have been defeated long ago.

Even so, with neither swords nor guns able to effectively harm the "Titans," and having to be restrained by the existence of the "Index to Abandoned Books," the girl's defeat was only a matter of time.

Just as the battle for the "List of Banned Books" was reaching its climax, Lin Yi noticed the abnormally shrinking crowd in the vicinity. After shifting his focus slightly to his surroundings, he quickly noticed these strangely behaving people.

Centered on the point where the plot takes place, they seem to have already completed the encirclement without anyone noticing, and are currently using inconspicuous means to disperse those who are not involved. If nothing unexpected happens, they will probably take action soon.

"The committee?"

Without any intention of getting involved, Lin Yi paid the bill and left the good observation point after noticing the strange group of people, moving towards the outside of the encirclement.

However, some things are simply unavoidable...

"Halt! Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

Regardless of their stance, the attitude of their questioning, or their current tone, it's clear that this "suddenly" appearing questioner isn't approaching me with the routine questioning attitude one would expect upon seeing a suspicious person. Rather, it seems they've already locked onto their "target" and are only now beginning their operation.

"I am very confused."

Lin Yi directly cancelled his plan to leave the center early, offering no futile excuses, and went straight to the point—

"Why wait until now to take action?"

The sudden directness rendered Mugino Shizuri's prepared remarks useless, and her expression froze slightly. However, her essential qualities as an item allowed her to quickly recover: "I don't understand what you're talking about. Right now, I'm just questioning a suspicious person who is in a suspicious place at a suspicious time as a disciplinary committee member. All you need to do is answer my questions honestly."

Her slightly distorted movements revealed her tense body; any resistance Lin Yi might make now would likely be met with a merciless attack—the fact that Academy City chose this moment to surround the area speaks volumes. They probably won't let him off easily as before; otherwise, there would be no point in doing so.

"It seems I have no choice but to accompany you on this trip."

He nodded as if accepting the outcome, but just as the ability user in front of him was about to relax, he suddenly spoke again: "Before that, I think you should deal with that thing first."

"Thump————————"

Behind them, a five-story building was smashed open from the bottom, and the flying bricks and stones directly hit several unsuspecting "patrolmen" and caused them to bleed from the head. One unlucky one was just standing in front of the "giant" when he was crushed into dust before he could even let out a scream.

Information Integration Thought System: Chapter 555 The Tree Diagram Designer

"Attack! Hold back!"

Having witnessed the giant's terrifying power and speed firsthand, Mugino Shizuri disregarded everything else and immediately gave orders to the still-terrified Item members around him. At the same time, he used his abilities to launch an attack on the hesitant, ferocious, and monstrous giant.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the blazing white energy ray "giant" in front of it, the first reaction was to raise its hand to block it. However, unlike the bullets that were easily blocked before, this attack clearly exceeded its defensive limit. With an angry roar from the "giant", it quickly dodged away.

But the wound that almost went through the palm remained.

"electronic?"

Lin Yi, who had just deduced the nature of the ability user's attack, raised an eyebrow and continued to observe the situation after avoiding the giant's fierce gaze.

Having been ambushed, had its target stolen, and been injured in succession, the "Titan," who had been able to maintain its rationality, began to fly into a rage. Its skin turned dark green at a visible speed, and its size swelled up again.

Wielding arms as thick as two people's thighs, the enraged giant swung cars parked on the road and smashed them down on people around it. Those with superpowers scattered and fled, but ordinary people without superpowers were not so lucky. Even without being hit head-on, being caught in the wind pressure it generated would at least result in serious injury.

Faced with the terrifying destructive power of the "giant", a petite girl suddenly rushed out from the crowd and collided head-on with the enraged giant with her tiny size, which was completely inconsistent with the "giant".
