Main God Creation Rules

Beritus shuddered, still staring blankly at the campfire before him. After confirming with the God of War that he was indeed listening, Lin Yi was too lazy to continue to cater to his feelings: "From what I've seen, those giants haven't stopped, but are continuing to advance towards the capital. Judging from their speed, they should arrive in about five days. So I hope you can go back as soon as possible to inform the people in the capital to prepare."

"I……"

"Now only you have this ability."

Interrupting Beritos before he could finish speaking, Lin Yi didn't know what he was going to say: "Do I have to stay here and observe where these giants are going, or are you planning to stay with me near these giants?"

"I—I'll go back!"

Satisfied, Lin Yi watched the natives, who had been given a hint, run towards the capital. He had no doubt that they would be able to find their warhorse in that direction and safely bring back the "bad news" within two days.

"A successful experiment."

Looking back at the forest, which had returned to peace after the annihilation of its prey, Lin Yi nodded: "The next step is to expand our gains."

Forbidden Zone of Life: Chapter 78 Giants (7)

Beritus, who escaped back to the capital, received a hero's welcome... not at all.

The victors may receive flowers and applause, but the losers will always be met with curses and harshness, let alone the sole survivor.

Even so, news of the giants' attack still spread among the ruling class in the shortest possible time. In order not to cause panic among the people, they did not immediately inform the people below who were also feeling anxious. Of course, whether they had other thoughts is unknown.

Now, this ancient city faces two choices: fight or flee.

Both choices are simple, but they represent completely different outcomes.

The battle might be won—which would be ideal, of course, allowing the monarchy to be revitalized after five hundred years of decay, and incidentally proving the legitimacy of its rule: didn't you see that even the terrifying giants were defeated? You unruly commoners should just go home and farm.

However, defeat is more likely, as evidenced by the previous successive defeats of the elite knights and the near annihilation of the training army.

There is a slight error in the explanation of the reasons for the defeat of the training troops. The officers, who focused too much on how to deal with the Titans, only taught the trainees how to use the 3D Maneuver Gear to fight, but never thought about how to teach them how to overcome their inner fear when facing Titans.

This resulted in the entire training class going from being completely intact to being wiped out, with not a single person even considering using these specially developed devices to escape or fight.

Upon learning this, the instructors of the remaining training classes were immediately ordered to revise their teaching plans, and His Majesty the King, who was furious at being deceived, withdrew his order to arrest the civilian who provided the 3D Maneuver Gear... although whether or not he could find him was another matter.

Aside from the option of fighting, their second option didn't have as many consequences.

Qun (six?) Lin Emu Er Sansi Ba Ba Zi “Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that those giants eat people. As long as Your Majesty secretly leaves this city, the lower-class civilians will definitely be enough for those giants to eat. Even if it is not enough, the giants who have wasted a lot of time eating will not be able to catch up with Your Majesty’s caravan!”

"But what about the royal family's honor..."

"Your Majesty! As long as you are alive, there is a chance to rebuild the glory of the royal family, but once Your Majesty suffers misfortune, it will be too late!"

After a series of admonitions and declarations of loyalty, the king finally endured the pain of abandoning his homeland and secretly left through the north gate of the city that very night. Before leaving, he issued a final order: close the city gates and strictly forbid anyone from leaving the capital!

"The world is never short of smart people."

Late at night, standing atop the tower, more than twenty meters high, looking down at the figures secretly using ropes to climb down the city wall, Lin Yi seemed to have an epiphany: "Although the timing of their cleverness was a bit inappropriate."

The following day, the giants approaching from both the south and the north simultaneously filled the people remaining in the capital with despair. At this point, no one cared about the king's life or death anymore, and those who remained gave up the idea of ​​continuing to flee the isolated city. The constant influx of people fleeing from the east and west proved that no direction was safe. In comparison, the city, which was still barely maintaining order and protected by high walls, was actually a relatively safe place.

On the fifth day, the group of giants closest to the capital appeared on the horizon amidst the hoarse screams of the sentries on the tower. At this moment, the veil of rumors surrounding the giants was completely lifted, and these creatures that existed only in legends truly appeared before people in the form of "humans," and they were even more terrifying than in the legends...

"They only eat people."

On the seventh day, on the south gate of the city wall.

Looking at the herd of horses below, driven by the soldiers, running past the giants without causing any reaction from them, the officer muttered to himself, his face pale.

Because they only eat people, it's impossible to lure them with bait like you would with wild animals—unless you use people.

However, if people are really used as bait, how is that any different from giants breaching a city?

Not to mention, no one would want to be the "bait".

"Commander, there's not much food left in the city."

"...Everyone except the soldiers on defense will have their rations reduced by half."

On the ninth day, outside the West Gate city wall.

"Giants—giants are coming!"

　Phosphorus Dream (5) One Paint (8) Dad Lin Qi slips away 1 "Open the door quickly!"

"Help! I don't want to die!"

……

All cries for help and shouts went unanswered. In order to avoid attracting the attention of the giants who were hunting for food at the city gates, the soldiers had long since retreated to the base of the walls.

Faced with the ever-growing number of refugees outside the city and the increasingly scarce food inside, the officers guarding the city had blocked all the passages to the city gates three days ago. At that time, the small number of nobles who were unable to escape in time denounced him as a murderer, but now no one says that anymore.

"Commander, the giant hasn't left..."

"Damn it! With so many people, are we still not enough to eat?!"

The officer, his eyes bloodshot, slammed his fist on the wall, looking down at the wandering human figures below and feeling waves of despair.

The thirteenth day

"A sentence suddenly came to mind."

[Unintelligible instructions]

"People may have an upper limit in times of peace, but there is no lower limit in times of chaos."

Looking down at the crowd below, bound and pushed onto the city wall, wailing and crying, Lin Yi sighed, "Although I'm not really in a position to say that."

"God, calculate the three-dimensional motion path and the possible reaction patterns of the experimental subject."

【Command confirmation】

Gently pull the trigger on the handle, and with the slight recoil from the springing steel cable at your waist, let your body be torn downwards by the force of gravity—

"When people are in despair, they should always be given a glimmer of hope."

Forbidden Zone of Life: Chapter 79 (4=+) Eight Bars Four Giants (The End)

How do humans deal with giants?

This question had been on many people's minds since the news of the first giants was confirmed. At first, humans chose traps and bows and arrows—those were used to deal with wild beasts. At that time, the giants in their eyes were just exaggerated wild beasts, and they believed that they could always kill them as long as they had enough patience.

As it turned out, their idea was wrong. At that time, humanity learned the first characteristic of giants: cannibalism.

The second time, humanity chose to use spears and warhorses—that was to fight against other humans. At that time, the giants in their eyes were an army of their own kind, and they needed to fight against them with stronger will and sharper blades.

They failed again, and that's when they learned the second characteristic of giants: their enormous size.

The third time, they obtained a brand-new tool—the 3D Maneuver Gear. This tool, which had never been tested, was adopted entirely because humanity had run out of options and could only pin their hopes on this "possibility," hoping to stop the Titans from attacking again.

As for the result... in many people's eyes, it was an undeniable failure. An entire training class equipped with 3D Maneuver Gear was wiped out without even killing a single Titan. So what could the remaining training classes possibly do?

After such thoughts arose in the minds of ordinary people, even the soldiers who were undergoing training naturally began to give up, perhaps simply because they did not want to face those giants.

So, how should humanity deal with the giants?

“For a long time I seem to have been repeating the same mistake. Human beings are not terrible, at least under certain conditions, they are like beasts... no, even weaker than most beasts, at least beasts will not sacrifice their own kind when they are driven to the brink.”

"So I don't need to be so cautious at all, at least in this world, at this time, under these conditions... What I need to do is not to suppress or weaken them, but quite the opposite, to help and teach them."

The taut steel cable pulled his body to one side, avoiding the giant's outstretched hand. Propelled by inertia, he gripped the blades with both hands and began to spin—

"At least let them know."

--rub!

"The situation is not as hopeless as it seems."

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

"Who is that?"

"They fell!"

"No, it's up again—that's the 3D Maneuver Gear!"

The figure falling towards the giant below the city wall caught the attention of an officer patrolling the wall. He initially thought it was just a careless soldier who had fallen and would soon become food for the giant. However, what happened next made him hold his breath.

It was a scene that was utterly impossible, completely defying common sense—the falling person suddenly stopped, instead moving closer and closer to the giant above, not only avoiding the giant's outstretched hand, but also winding around the giant's head to the back of its neck—

"It seems this surprise is for myself."

Whispering in a voice only he could hear, his powerful attributes allowed him to clearly observe the reactions of the natives on the distant city walls while his body spun rapidly. Lin Yi clearly saw their pupils suddenly contract the moment the blood spurted out.

What was he thinking? Lin Yi had no interest in it.

"Too slow."

As Lin Yi dodged the massive body of the fallen giant and used the steel cable to move behind another giant that was trying to capture him, he frowned: "It's fine when dealing with ordinary people who can only move on the ground, but against units that can move in mid-air, their bodies are a complete burden."

Excessive body size inevitably leads to reduced agility.

"Then let's do something about the body shape."

As he spoke, he lowered his head to avoid the slap that was about to fall over his head—it certainly looked very intimidating, but if one remained calm enough, even a child could avoid it. The reason why the people in the city have been completely outmatched when facing the giants so far is that their inner fear is the root cause.

A trained person, with sufficient mental fortitude, could easily kill them through coordinated efforts.

"Whether it's donning armor, shrinking in size, or using other means to protect vital areas from attack—"

The blade in his hand sank deep into the giant's nape, the ease with which it pierced through making Lin Yi doubt whether all his previous experiments had been in vain: "Tsk, so weak!"

To those on the city walls, the figure that was constantly leaping and circling around the giant, each time accompanied by a large amount of splattered scarlet liquid that caused the massive body to fall, was no different from the "angel" in mythology. It could fly, and it was just as powerful—except that it had no wings.

"3D Maneuver Gear... That's it! It must be that—"

Amidst the shouts around him, the officer reacted quickly. When he squinted and observed carefully, he was startled to see a black line trailing behind the tiny, leaping figure, as well as the two strange, long, rectangular boxes on his body.

"A 3D Maneuver Gear... those weapons used for training soldiers?!"

"That's right! I always thought it was all a lie, but I never expected it—"

"Bring this soldier—the hero—to see me immediately after he returns! Also, assemble the training squad right away!"

Eager to show this scene to those who had given up, the officer was suddenly startled by a scream that triggered his ominous premonition once again before he could run down the city wall.

As expected, the figure that was constantly leaping through the sky was grabbed by a giant and tied to a fixed steel cable. After struggling in vain, it could not help but repeat the fate of those who had sacrificed themselves before.

After the "hero" was swallowed by the giant, the city walls returned to their original deathly silence, but some things had indeed changed...

"...Tell everyone, we haven't given up hope yet!"

Drawing his knight's sword from his waist, the officer shouted, "Just like the soldier who just sacrificed himself, we still have the 3D Maneuver Gear, and countless heroes who can fight the Titans and protect this city!"

"We still have hope!"

Under the city wall.

"That'll be fine."

Using the 3D projection provided by the main god to create the image of his "death," Lin Yi easily dealt with the giant and withdrew his gaze: "Afterwards, just reduce the number of giants in the vicinity by two-thirds and disperse them to other places. If they still can't handle this level, then they have no value in existing."

Forbidden Zone of Life: Chapter 80 - The Low-Activity World (Part 1)

World No. 5, Manhattan, New York, USA.

"Boss, this is the latest research progress report. I have to say, those prototypes you provided are absolutely amazing! They satisfy my curiosity—oh, of course, I don't want to pry into your technical secrets, I'm just really curious where in this world such an incredible genetic engineer exists..."

Having spent so much time in several worlds, even if he didn't understand the specific operations, he could still understand the information. After roughly reviewing it, Lin Yi smiled and said, "Well done, keep up the good work. If you can finish the No. 1 product by the end of the year, I will let you see that 'incredible' genetic engineer."

"Boss, while I'm glad you can grant my wish, it seems a bit too much... There are less than two months left until the end of the year, and Project Number One has only completed 50% of its progress in the previous five months. The remaining two months are simply too short!"

"Don't jump to conclusions about Smith."

While reassuring the Ivy League-educated genetics PhD, Lin Yi remained silent, seemingly oblivious to his livid face, and said in an unchanged tone, "I never said I would only put you in charge of such a complex workload."

"Boss, are you referring to the few graduate students we recently recruited? I'm sorry, it's not that I look down on them, but they need at least ten more years of experience before they can truly step into this lab!"

"Of course, I don't think everyone can be a genius like you."

There is no doubt that he has completed all the reports and research on genetics at the age of less than thirty. If it weren't for certain fragments of the T-virus gene as bait, even if the God himself intervened, he probably wouldn't have been able to bring his research team in so easily... At least for now, this company with a total output value of only three million US dollars is completely unqualified to have talent of this level.

"But please don't judge this 'newcomer' by your common sense. Before I introduce him to you, take a look at this."

With a smile, he handed the notebook to Smith, who looked on with suspicion. As Smith flipped through the pages faster, his initial indifference was gradually replaced by surprise, and eventually by shock—it was as if he had seen a dinosaur being born before his eyes.

"Unbelievable! A completely different gene replacement model, my God, this is simply—"

"Calm down. This is only the first phase of research results. According to that 'newcomer's' speculation, the prototype can generate more than just these two models. There may even be a 'third' or even a 'fourth' model."
