Chapter 1813 Altair's "Deus Ex machina": The myriad phenomena born from nothingness.
An ordinary group admin: "Well, it's probably not just for that reason."
An ordinary group owner: "It's mainly related to the worldview of Altair."
An ordinary group admin: "@Military Uniform Princess, you must be Altair, right?"
Su Yunqing was afraid that she might have made a mistake, so she asked Altair.
Princess in military uniform: "My name is indeed Altair."
The ordinary group owner: "Then there's no problem."
An ordinary group admin: "However, I don't really know much about Altair."
An ordinary group admin: "I've only seen some clips."
An ordinary group owner said, "I was thinking I'd have time to watch it later, but I always forget about it after a new anime comes out."
An ordinary group admin: "@Children of Nature, @Nine Sons of Qin, have you seen this?"
Su Yunqing shook her head; she only knew Altair's name.
Aside from that, all I know is some of Altair's character settings, which can only be described as incredibly powerful, terrifyingly powerful.
If an ordinary protagonist has only one "cheat code," then she has "countless" cheat codes.
You simply can't win a head-on fight.
Unless it's her "mom," no one can make her go offline.
"Ding, group member [Nine Sons of Qin] uploaded a memory copy."
The Nine Sons of Qin: "The concept of the Creator is quite good. The core is 'anti-time travel,' where the created characters descend into reality. It also has a highly creative worldview."
The Nine Sons of Qin: "However, apart from Altair, Meteora, and others, some characters seem to be used as mere plot devices; their backstories and motivations are not well-developed, and their behavioral changes seem abrupt."
The Nine Sons of Qin: "And the final outcome is somewhat of a 'deus ex machina,' but considering Altair's power, it can only be this way."
Ying Zinian doesn't say he particularly likes "Re:CREATORS," but he considers it one of the better works. However, the frequent meetings and explanations of the setting in the later stages make it somewhat lengthy and tedious.
Its core concept is "anti-time travel".
Unlike the typical "transmigration to another world" story, it tells the tale of characters from various anime, manga, games, and novels who travel to the real world.
These characters, who come from different works and have different settings, are called "created beings"; and the authors who created them are seen by the "created beings" as "creators".
The entire story revolves around the conflict and fusion between "created beings" and "creators," and between fiction and reality.
There are two key concepts in this worldview. One is "acknowledgment power," which can be understood as the degree to which people in the real world recognize and acknowledge the existence and design of "created things."
This public perception can influence the capabilities and sense of presence of created beings in the real world.
Another one is the "Great Crash".
If too many "created beings" flood into the real world, or if the amount of "setting" information required for their existence is too large and exceeds the world's own ability to correct itself, it may cause the rules of the real world to collapse and trigger a devastating disaster.
The general plot is that Sota Mizushino, an ordinary high school student who loves ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games), suddenly discovers one day that his favorite anime and game characters have appeared in the real world.
Meanwhile, a girl dressed in military uniform who calls herself Altair begins to summon numerous "creations" from different works into the real world.
Altair declared that he would "sanction" the "Creator" and attempted to trigger the "Great Collapse" to reshape the world.
In response to this crisis, the "created beings" who came to the real world split into different camps:
One is the protagonist's camp, and the other is Altair's camp.
The conflict between the two sides intensifies, and the plot unfolds through the interaction between fictional characters and the real world, as well as the clash of different values.
Altair's true purpose was gradually revealed.
Her creator, Setsuna Shimazaki, committed suicide due to online attacks, leading Altair to despair of the "malicious" real world and resolve to destroy the world to avenge Setsuna.
Ultimately, when Altair was almost unstoppable, Sota Mizushino, with the help of another character, Makan Tsukijouin, "created" Setsuna Shimazaki.
Altair reunites with Setsuna Shimazaki, and the anger and despair in his heart are calmed down.
In the end, Altair used his power to save Setsuna, and the two traveled together to a new world to continue writing a new story.
This is why it's called a "deus ex machina," but given Altair's abilities, what other way could they possibly deal with him without a "deus ex machina"?
Himouto! Umaru-chan: "A character created from scratch has come into reality?"
Himouto! Umaru-chan: "No wonder Altair was able to determine so quickly that we were also created characters."
Himouto! Umaru-chan: "Because she was created."
Himouto! Umaru-chan: "So those of us who joined the chat group like her are also virtual characters created by others."
Himouto! Umaru-chan: "However, Altair is more thoroughly virtual; she is a character created from a work of art."
Umaru is very curious about Altair's story.
She hadn't really read many light novels with this kind of setting.
Although Ying Zinian also pointed out some shortcomings, there is no doubt that his overall tone was one of praise.
Therefore, she has begun to look forward to the memory copy of the Altair world.
Kasumi Shiko: "I have read light novels with similar settings, but because the settings were too grand, I didn't grasp the plot well, and the later plot just fell apart."
Kasumigaoka Utaha is also quite curious about the story of the Altair world.
Although she writes romance novels, she also enjoys reading light novels with grand settings.
However, not everyone can grasp this kind of plot.
Princess in Military Uniform: "I think my story won't disappoint you."
Princess in Military Uniform: "But, a deus ex machina?"
Altair looked at those four words.
Without a doubt, her plan failed, and "deus ex machina" was the reason for her failure.
However, she was still unclear about what this "deus ex machina" was, and why it could be called "deus ex machina".
Could it be that they're trying to create a character similar to her in order to defeat her?
But a character created temporarily should theoretically lack "recognition power," so how can one defeat her?
Moreover, are her world, and the creator's world, also plotted by a higher-dimensional "creator"?
So what about her feelings for "Setsuna"? Were they also fake?
She recalled the various "plots" she witnessed as she traveled through different worlds: the growth of heroes, the fall of villains, the budding of love, and the arrival of death. All the characters firmly believed in their choices and fates, unaware that everything was a pre-written story.
And now, their "creator" is nothing more than a character in another story? A character in a story about "characters rebelling against a creator"?
"How cruel"
Altair gave a wry smile.
She was enraged by the momentary injustice and fought against the indifference of the Creator's world.
But what if that world was also created, and its inhabitants were also pre-defined characters?
So what is the point of her revenge? What is the meaning of her existence?
Was her tragedy, her fleeting tragedy, even her will to resist, merely a plot device to please some higher being?
But
"Even if everything is a pre-arranged plot, my feelings for Setsuna are real. My pain right now is real."
Altair said this.
Even if the whole world is fictional, her feelings still belong to her, even if those feelings were designed in the beginning. At least now, after joining the chat group, they have become real.
Unless, even the "chat group" is part of the story's setting.
Even if it's all fake, she'll believe it as real.
Because she had nothing else.
"Alright, since things have come to this, let's look at the memory copy first."
Himouto! Umaru-chan: "I've finished watching the memory copy."
Himouto! Umaru-chan: "Well, I feel like something's off."
Himouto! Umaru-chan: "It's not that it's not exciting, but the later parts are all explanations."
Himouto! Umaru-chan: "A bit slow."
Umaru, who had immediately immersed herself in watching the memory scroll, had a slightly complicated expression.
The beginning was exciting, and the setting was indeed grand, but in the later stages, it kept explaining this and that. Although it can be understood that they were afraid that others would not understand, they could have let the audience understand it little by little by following the plot, instead of relying on this method.
In other words, she watched the whole thing in immersive mode. If she didn't choose immersive mode, she would definitely fast forward.
The richest man in the country said: "That's absolutely true."
The richest man in the lighthouse said: "Moreover, in terms of character portrayal, apart from a very few characters such as Altair, the others are very thin."
The richest man in the city said: "The later stages are not very interesting."
Tony felt the same way. If the early part was very exciting, then even if the later part wasn't exactly terrible, it definitely lowered the overall quality of the work.
Turn Daigo into soup: "But Altair's character design is so strong."
Boil Daigo into soup: "As long as you keep creating fan works through fan fiction, you can acquire the abilities from those fan works and your strength will expand without limit."
Boiling Daigo into soup: "If the other characters are just the imagination of one author, then the other characters are the imagination of countless authors."
Boil Daigo into soup: "The difference in strength is too great."
Daigo, reflecting on Altair's character design, couldn't help but sigh.
Altair's ability is "All Things in the Universe," which is the power of all things, the flow of all things, the power of rebirth in the true world, and the power of the forest that gives birth to everything from nothingness.
To create something from nothing, to create causes and effects that can indirectly govern the original, thereby gaining infinite power.
By adding "settings", you can easily acquire any ability.
Because it is a fan-created character, it has been given various abilities after being re-created by other creators, such as the power of destruction, the power of creation, the ability to change the laws of nature and the inescapable fate, etc., collectively known as "All Things in the Universe".
Therefore, Altair was set up to be an infinite being, and her abilities, which she herself was unaware of, increased day by day.
It can be said that Altair possesses all known abilities, including those that are unknown.
However, individuals cannot freely use all their abilities, otherwise they might be ejected from the real world. They can only create conflict and interfere with the world's restorative power by summoning characters from other works.
The ability shown in the memory copy is the "Third Movement 'Representational View'", which is the ability to change the structure of the created things and the objects they hold.
"The Ninth Movement 'Return to Cause and Effect'" returns the creation's settings to 'nothing' and can also be applied to a saber; "The Thirteenth Movement 'Summary of Origins'" restores the creation's later added settings to their original state, and has no fewer than ten other abilities.
It can be said that its mechanism is invincible, and there is basically no possibility of it being defeated. In fact, there is no possibility of it being defeated.
If they hadn't resurrected Altair's creators in another way, quelling Altair's anger and despair, they would have had no chance of winning at all.
The oldest god-slayer: "Reminds me of Reinhard from the world of Re:Zero."
The oldest god-slayer: "However, that's only within his own world."
Marquis Voban admitted that Altair's character design was exaggerated, and could even be called "the strongest," but there was no doubt that in the "reality" of that world, her strength, or rather her destructive power, was quite limited.
Even with its unique mechanics and numerous abilities, its level doesn't surpass that of a planet exploding, and it might not even exist on the surface of Earth.
However, if it is a "virtual" entity within that "reality," then it possesses limitless power.
Marquis de Voban would certainly not acknowledge this power.
If the power that cannot be manifested in the "reality" of that world cannot be possessed, how can it be found in other worlds?
This cannot be considered as their own strength.
The richest man in the country said: "That's absolutely true."
The richest man in the beacon: "Their abilities mainly come from the recognition of people in the 'real' world."
The richest man in the city said, "It's just that we can't be sure what the upper limit of what recognition can create is."
The richest man in the lighthouse: "Can the recognition of the entire planet grant her the true power of all things, and the power she possesses in the 'fan fiction' setting?"
The richest man in the lighthouse said: "Although it is definitely impossible under normal circumstances, after all, it is only the recognition of humans on one planet."
The richest man in the lighthouse said: "But for human life, those who understand, understand."
Tony's tone became somewhat complicated as he finished speaking.
In Daigo's world, human "light" helps him gain "Shining Form" and defeat Gatanothor; in the world of Dragon Ball, human "ki" helps Goku defeat opponents like Majin Buu.
Could any human being, even all of humanity combined, possibly match even "a little" their strength?
However, human "power" can give them even greater power.
