As the saying goes, he's already employed, so even if the sky falls, Shikanoko will be there to catch it.
"Hmm… World fusion."
Shikanoko had reverted to her relatively normal Deer Antler girl form.
Taking out a blackboard, she began drawing many circles of varying sizes next to the two existing circles.
"Gecko Man, don't you think the structure of our world is a bit bloated?"
Kisaragi Rin didn't answer; he just wanted to listen intently to Shikanoko's teachings.
This reaction made Shikanoko scratch her head regretfully.
Shikanoko: "You already know that the world beneath our feet is no different from the worlds in which the Paradise allows players to play games.
And the power of Paradise allows players to travel between these worlds; you've seen me cut through space from the Fate World and return directly to the Main World.
This means that the existence of these worlds is not two parallel lines that never intersect.
From this, you can see a possibility.
That is, worlds can suddenly meet.
And after meeting, most outcomes are that the stronger party devours the weaker party to continuously grow."
The world fusion Shikanoko spoke of had another descriptive term from Kisaragi Rin's perspective.
That is, a stitched world view.
To put it simply, the Trial World Kisaragi Rin entered was a stitch of Highschool of the Dead and Resident Evil.
To put it broadly, the Main World Kisaragi Rin is currently in is formed by stitching together individual worlds.
"Various worlds move irregularly like bubbles in the deep sea. Under a certain gravitational pull, similar worlds have a higher probability of meeting, either annihilating into splashes during collisions or forming larger bubbles.
And our world is a large bubble that is quite prone to encountering other bubbles.
After the ley lines in Australia were broken, those top players realized that compared to their own constantly breaking through limits, the world's capacity to bear was too weak.
So, how to strengthen the Main World?
Taking advantage of the ceasefire after the war, all parties quickly finalized this new world composed of [Territories].
The existence of this new world not only provided a better destination for Deep-sea players but also deceived Paradise, ensuring that Paradise's Missions would no longer appear in the Main World.
These two points are the foundation for the implementation of the agreement [extraordinary hidden among the crowd].
Aside from these two points, the truly important function of this new world composed of territories is that it brings the Ability to strengthen the Main World.
That is, players can use this place to artificially intervene in the fusion of the Main World with other worlds.
Like a cell membrane, other bubbles wanting to merge with the Main World, this large bubble, must first face the detection of this cell membrane.
Worlds that also have the daily life tag and are as delicious as baby food for the growth of the Main World will pass through the [Territory]'s detection, peacefully and stably merging with the Main World to strengthen it, while other junk food and harmful toxins are intercepted by the [Territory] and become fodder for the [Territory]'s growth."
As the last syllable fell, Shikanoko pulled out a deer biscuit and popped it into her mouth.
Crunch.
The deer biscuit shattered.
Shikanoko's teeth were excellent.
This scene, to Medea who had listened to the entire explanation, felt somewhat like a horror movie.
After all… the world beneath her feet might be at this very moment biting and absorbing other worlds.
"This is truly a player's style."
Kisaragi Rin sighed.
A question that had lasted eighteen years was finally answered.
The formation of this Comprehensive Anime World was actually the result of the combined efforts of players and the world.
Is the Main World weak?
Do various worlds constantly collide like bubbles, always at risk of being swallowed by stronger worlds?
Players will intervene to intercept dangers; as the world, you just need to lie down and open your mouth to be fed.
Gaia from the adjacent Fate World is crying with envy!
"How does one enter this new world?"
Kisaragi Rin asked.
Deep-sea players are constantly being born; this new world must have a stable entrance.
"Of course, through the Territory's entrance."
Shikanoko said, eating a deer biscuit, "The fact that all players' Territories will be incorporated into that world doesn't mean Paradise's Territories will lose value.
On the contrary, it is precisely because of the existence of this world that the value of Territories is increasing daily.
Now, the number of Territories is an important criterion for judging the size of an organization's power.
A Territory can set up an entrance.
Before your Territory is absorbed by this world, you can find a place to put this entrance, and then you can enter that world through this entrance."
"What's the situation like in that world?"
Kisaragi Rin was very interested in this.
"The situation…"
Shikanoko patted her forehead and said, "I remember encountering a few tough nuts a few years ago; they're still fighting a world war."
Kisaragi Rin: "What world?"
Shikanoko: "Eerie Journey to the West."
Kisaragi Rin: "???"
Kisaragi Rin's mind was full of questions, genuinely wanting to ask if this Journey to the West included the Primordial World's world view.
No, to what extent has the combat power of top players reached?
Kisaragi Rin originally thought Shikanoko's [Deer Horn Great Sage] was a title given by Paradise; you're not going to tell me now that you actually have the combat power of a Yao Race [Great Sage], are you?
"Don't worry, that world is tens of millions of times larger than the Main World. Unless you're extremely unlucky, it's still very difficult to encounter top powerhouses from other worlds."
"Hmm… S-ranks are an exception. There are also beings there who can deduce the River of Fate. If Paradise's S-rank sequence dares to enter the Territory, they will dare to intercept and kill them."
Shikanoko thought for a moment and said, "You'd best enter after you've obtained an Occupation."
"No problem."
Kisaragi Rin nodded.
His two Territories were integrated into the Workshop, so even if he wanted to go, he could only use the Zoo's channels.
However… Kisaragi Rin definitely wouldn't go now.
Since Shikanoko said so, there must be a reason.
Not listening to others' warnings and insisting on courting death is what American high school students in horror movies should do.
The essence of the world… the reason why the extraordinary is hidden in daily life… all land under heaven belongs to the king… the merging of worlds… just a brief chat, but the information received gave Kisaragi Rin a headache.
Is this something he should know now?
In a movie, wouldn't this only be revealed in the last thirty minutes?
"By the way, what's the name of that new world formed by Territories?"
Kisaragi Rin shook off his thoughts and asked.
Shikanoko: "It's called Blessed Land."
