Anime, starting from Re:Zero (Zero - Starting Life)

I don't want to hurt her, at least I don't want to force her to understand in this way, but if the problem is not dealt with immediately and quickly, even I can't say that I have the ability to control the situation.

The existence of human gods and troublesome interpersonal relationships.

I squatted beside Lala, just like I did many nights ago when I took care of her. I stroked Lala's hair. It was a beautiful aqua blue, but it would not look good if it turned into a pitch-black color like mine.

I shook Lala's head to wake her up.

In front of Lala, I nodded my head vigorously, desperately trying to make her understand immediately:

"Lala, you've clearly felt it now, right? How fragile creatures other than the Vitrums are! How fragile things other than the Vitrums are! How short-lived intelligent life other than the Vitrums is!"

"Yet you, me, us, the people of Vitrum, share too many emotional similarities with these ephemeral things."

I danced and gestured hard:

"Lala, you can definitely sense it, right? We, the Vitrum people, are only weak in our emotions! That's why we must strengthen our emotions! That's why we must gather together, value each other, and value the collective. We, the Vitrum people, must come together to feel at ease!"

I grabbed her shoulders and shook her:

"Lala, in less than a hundred years, Rudy and the others will all be dead! In less than two hundred years, even Roxy will die! Can you really endure this? Can you really accept this? Will you really not suffer because of this?"

"You can! So can I!"

"That's why you must become a Vitrum! That's why you must recognize the Vitrum! That's why you must join the Vitrum!"

"Otherwise! Think about it! Lala, think about it carefully!"

I nearly pierced my temple with my two fingers.

"When everyone dies and everything we created together is gone! What will be left of you after five hundred years?! Lala!"

I cried, and Lala cried too.

she says:

"I'll have you, Daddy...I'll still have you."

She raised her hands and touched my face, left and right.

That's a good trick. You fooled me, smart kid.

You are a qualified warrior now.

The magic power that was initially infused into me began to take effect. Through the magic circle that Lala had recorded on my body through resistance and battle, the final node was on my cheek. If I had used magic frequently recently, I would have noticed it earlier, but I only used the abilities of the Vitrum people and a few healing spells, and never focused on myself.

I didn't react otherwise.

Just sit casually on the rock next to you.

I originally wanted to heal Lala, but that might affect the effectiveness of the magic circle, so I gave up.

I also want to go back and see Luo Qixi. Actually, I’m not sure if she has been affected, and I’m very worried.

But Lala defeated me, and I thought my daughter was qualified to witness my death, so I did not leave without permission.

Oh, right.

I slowly leaned back against the rock behind me.

"Sorry, I forgot to mention that."

"Lala, happy birthday, and congratulations on becoming an adult."

As usual, I sang the birthday song that Rudy had taught us, but I was similar to Luo Qixi, both of us were tone-deaf. I just couldn't let go of it.

"Happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to you~Happy birthday to you..."

I seemed to hear Lala crying.

Don't celebrate your birthday...

IF Chapter·Notes

Note 1:

Regarding this IF, I originally hoped to make the fight more crazy. Since it's all BE anyway, I might as well show how the Vitrum people who respect the will of the Vixing Empire fight when they destroy the world.

(Just like the Almighty Man washing the floor)

The general process is probably: a life-and-death battle with Lala. Perhaps Lala was the first to use time magic, and the two of them went back to the past frantically, dragging their past selves to fight the enemy together. They lost their minds more and more, and their minds were eroded by the will to fight. Even Lala began to attack without regard for the bottom line (including her hair turning completely black).

Finally, in the finale, Gawain kills himself and Roxy, who were protecting the infant Lala, strangles the infant Lala to death, and curses her, "If only you had never been born." At this point, Lala has the ability to continue resisting, but upon hearing these words, she regains consciousness and gives up the struggle in despair. Gawain then evasively flashes back, attempting to escape the human world, and the story ends here, leaving it as an open ending.

(However, halfway through writing this, I felt that the above version of the ending was actually unreasonable. It didn't fit the IF Gawain's characterization as more of an omnipotent person. Instead, it made him seem more like a regent who resolutely refused to admit that he had love in his heart. To rationalize it, I would have to cut out all of IF Gawain's awareness and thoughts and turn him into a pure lunatic of Weixing imperialism, but that would be boring. After all, IF Gawain, who could say things like birthday teaching, was definitely not someone who would be so angry that he would kill his daughter.)

Note 2:

Regarding the original ending, I originally planned to write the following interesting twist:

In the historical plot, Gawain of the past ten years will decisively help Gawain in the final game to fight against his daughter's army (actually it's only one year, but he plans to let the Dragon God and others get involved), but Gawain before killing Sylphy will instantly turn against him when he knows that his future self has killed Sylphy.

(There are even cases where Gawain, who is extremely regretful in the early stages, will repent and backstab Gawain in the final stage.)

Note 3:

I think Gawain's approach in the IF finale is reasonable.

Although he's been intensely brainwashed by the educational system since infancy—a level of indoctrination far more extreme than what a typical V-worlder would accept, with its gentler aspects deliberately emasculated—Gawain has never lived in V-world society and is constantly being shaped by the interpersonal relationships inherent in No Job. Therefore, it doesn't even make sense for Gawain to be more extreme than Omni-Man. Another factor contributing to his poor performance is that the society of No Job's world is far less morally oriented than that of contemporary Earth (referring to the Earth during Omni-Man's seclusion).

Incidentally, the battle between father and daughter resulted in over 10,000 casualties.

Sylphy's time was over one million.

Note 4:

Gao Wen's reason for giving up was also very simple.

In fact, he had no way to guarantee that he could fulfill the agreement with Lala, which was: as long as Lala accepted his identity, he would allow Lala to play in this world until she got tired of it.

The reason is that the initial research results of the IF line are:

The timeline in the human world is strictly one-way.

In other words, unless the Dragon God's reincarnation ritual is lifted, this timeline will inevitably turn into nothingness after the Dragon God's reincarnation ritual is activated.

However, the protagonists of this world line do not know that Lala is the savior, and do not know that Lala and the Dragon God's team can defeat and completely seal the Human God.

This can also be considered a calculation by humans and gods.

Therefore, in Gao Wen's opinion, there are only two relatively certain ways to continue this timeline:

First, the whole family must work together to capture the Dragon God, ensure that he will not reactivate on his own, and successfully remove the magic spell on him.

Second, defeat the human god who can destroy the world with one strike, and then kill him, or strengthen the seal to a more thorough level.

Both options are humorous.

But compared to the completely unknown reincarnation technique originating from the first generation Dragon God, the idea of ​​killing the human god is very clear and definite. After all, whether it is possible to control the Dragon God to restart on his own initiative is a question.

If he chose the Killer God, Gawain would simply gather the secret treasures and enter the Unbounded Realm. With his prepared army of Vitrum hybrids, valuable items plundered and exploited throughout the human world, and weapons of war, he would bring the Dragon God with him and crush the confined human god.

(Unexplained.) Boss Qindinglong went all out, blasting the continent with a single blow. Boss Qindinglong surpassed the original Five Dragon Generals. This performance is roughly equivalent to that of a Weixing General. The original Five Dragon Generals were roughly between elite Weixing warriors and generals. Half-blooded Weixing people rarely reach the level of a standard pureblood warrior.

In other words, a standard Weixing warrior could almost match the Five Dragon Generals. It's known that a fully armed, peak-level Five Dragon General with a complete aerial fortress could hold their own against a severely damaged First-Generation Dragon God for days, effectively putting them on the same level as a true god. The endless Weixing hybrid army, combined with interstellar warships and weaponry, could certainly crush a pseudo-human god.

Closer to home.

In the end, Lala resisted him even if it meant deceiving him, which proved that Lala rejected him.

Since he was unable to fulfill his promise and his daughter directly refused, it was not surprising that Gawain decided to let go and let Lala, who had grown up, choose her own future.

Because Gawain does have a plan to destroy the human world and kill the human god, but he is actually a half-hearted person who still clings to this world. If he can avoid doing it, he doesn't want to do it, not to mention that he has to risk the life of his own child.

This IF is the victory of man and God (×)

It is Boss Long’s victory (√)

Boss Long got a lot of new technologies and new achievements for free and went to the next reincarnation to fight against people and gods. He won a lot.

Note 5:

15-year-old Lala has probably been awakened for more than a year. She calculated her father's situation based on her own situation, but the error was obviously so large that it was laughable.

Based on the original story, 15-year-old Lala is roughly on par with the purple-skinned half-bloods who've trained for years at the end of "Invincible Youngster." Of course, even at that level, she's still invincible below the top powers. With magic, she should be able to defeat Gawain, who's 0.5-3 years old. Using only her Vian abilities, she'd probably only be able to fight her one-year-old father to a draw.

For example, if Lala had gone all out at the beginning of the final battle and collided with Gawain, she would have been shattered to pieces, while Gawain would have only suffered minor bruises.

At 29, Gawain has only fought a single fatal duel, but his strength is comparable to that of an elite Vision warrior. If Gawain had intended to kill Lala and her group, only the Dragon God would have survived the first second of the fight. (Actually, killing the Sky Dragon boss at this stage wouldn't be difficult for Gawain; he simply wouldn't dare to do it.)

However, Lala is obviously getting stronger as the fight goes on.

Note 6:

Because this world line does not emphasize the threat of human gods, Lala's future vision is basically used to fight against her biological father.

A prophetic tribute to Bushi

In fact, Lala has tried many times to win back her father.

For example, every time her father did something bad, she would try to stop him, but she was rarely successful. So she started to dig holes for her father and buried various traps in history.

For example, if Gawain feels tired, it means he has been poisoned (magic erosion is effective against the Vians thanks to special magic add-ons, etc., and this has been emphasized many times in this story).

This also matches the main article:

Gawain is indeed a greater threat than the human god. The human god only wants to be free and high above the gods, but the human god still needs all kinds of races as his toys. But Gawain does not need that. Gawain does not even need the human world.

Note 7:

Because it was about educating children and being ambushed, Gawain only used a small part of the power of the Vitrum bloodline at the end of IF.

The actual strength of a single unit is probably:

It carries intelligent spell-casting auxiliary equipment with the most theoretically powerful magic furnace as its energy core and the [Prime Minister] sub-body as its computing power core, plus tens of millions of sub-body drones, to cooperate with the main body that is giving its all.

Any damaged sub-body, or even the main body, can be re-printed using the recorded spellcasting program. Even in times of low mana, the vast number of sub-bodies can easily create a massive magical disaster, drawing unlimited mana from the [Human World], and perhaps even reversing existing matter into mana.

The main body and all equipment can jump time, even exist in multiple forms at the same time node, and can easily do things like teleportation.

Because Gawain knew the weaknesses of the Vitrum people very well, he could kill Lala by just using magic.

The winning rate of the full-magic dragon god against him is almost 0.

Even with a thousand times the recovery speed, the Dragon God probably can't beat the bottom-line-less, fully equipped IF Final Gawain. The odds are probably 190% or 280%.

[This form may appear in the "Blood Sucking Strike" arc]

Note 8:

The reasons why Sylphy left: the death of her parents, her brother's breakdown and drastic changes, her brother's acquisition of a new family, and her own marginalization.

All this caused Sylphy's spirit to collapse.

She also wanted to be a real member of her brother's family and his wife, but she couldn't say it out loud.

Note 9:

Although I wrote the logic out of inspiration at the time, thinking about it afterwards, the concept that Gawain wanted Lala to understand actually made sense.

For example -

Imagine you have the power of a Viking.

Assuming you were much, much weaker than Omni-Man, you could barely lift a meteorite the size of Texas, 100 meters thick, and with the average density of Earth's crust—in short, about 2000 billion tons. (Omni-Man could easily throw something much heavier than that out of the solar system.)

Because you are more perfect than humans, the strength of your single arm may be 800-1000 billion tons, and your force-generating skills are also more perfect than humans. Suppose you can only punch at 100 times the speed of sound in the atmosphere.

Now you can try punching forward with all your strength.

The energy output of that punch just now was: equivalent to 10 trillion tons of TNT.

Because you are weak, you can only punch out a force that is about one-quarter to one-half the magnitude of the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs.

But it is enough to wipe out the city beneath your feet, tear apart the nearby crust, raze your country to the ground, destabilize and distort your continental shelf, cause tsunamis to hit every possible coastline in the next few days and weeks, send billions of tons of dust pouring into the atmospheric circulation, quickly plunge the Earth into a short ice age, kill up to 50% of all life in the next few months, cause up to 30% of species to become permanently extinct, kill at least two or three billion people, and perhaps bring human civilization to a permanent halt.

Even if you are as weak as you are, with such a punch, you can still punch at the speed of an earthling for several days without rest. By the time you feel tired, the earth's crust will have been blown into a powder storm by the wind of your punch.

If it were the strongest person in the tribe, he might be able to sink the continental shelf with one punch, instantly killing more than half of the life on the planet. The remaining aftermath would be enough to plunge the planet into a complete mass extinction of species. Even if the indigenous civilization reacted quickly, the number of individuals who could survive might not be more than the remaining pure-blooded Vic people.

Yet, this race possesses the same delicate hearts as the indigenous people. They could easily outlive the history of human civilization, yet they will still risk their lives for a relationship that lasts only a dozen or even a few years.

What else can a race like this do except band together with their own people for warmth?
