"Formulating rules, creating one's own world."
"Modifying genes, creating new life."
Rin discovered that this new Ultimate Authority was even more powerful than he had imagined.
If the power of other Authorities lay in destruction and large scale natural disasters, then the special feature of [Eternal Law] lay in its ability to truly transform the real world.
That was right, transforming the world.
The results achieved by Eternal Law would not disappear with the consumption of magicules, nor would they vanish with the fall of a Campione.
What did that mean?
To give a simple example, Rin could use Eternal Law to design a brand new life form, such as rabbit eared girls or fox eared girls that had never existed in reality.
Logically, such magical creatures should belong to purely magical creations, like hellhounds, demon wolves, or angels.
However, that was not the case.
The life forms created by Eternal Law were truly living beings in every sense.
Rin could control them and could kill them, but he could not make them dissipate the way he could retract an Authority.
Because from the moment of their creation, they were already living and independent individuals.
Likewise, law did not only include life and matter.
It also included more abstract rules.
For example, adding lifespan, reversing gravity, slowing the flow of time, folding space, and so on.
If his imagination was sufficient, Rin could even use this Authority to create a set of rule based strange tales within the Campione world.
Even more troublesome was that even if Rin were eliminated, that set of rule based strange tales would not disappear.
It was like forcibly inserting a piece of code into the world's program.
The reason [Eternal Law] bore the prefix Eternal was because it truly possessed the mighty power to turn a Campione's wishes into reality.
The only question was how much magicules would be required to realize such fantasies.
"Tsk, another completely unreasonable Authority."
Calling these four Authorities Ultimate Authorities was no exaggeration.
[In the Name of the Father].
[Solar Calendar], which divided the world.
[Ragnarök], which destroyed heaven and earth.
And now this fourth one, [Eternal Law], which turned falsehood into reality.
Thinking of these Ultimate Authorities, and that he could bring them back to the Cardinal World and use them in other worlds, Rin truly felt as if he were on the verge of becoming invincible.
"Calm down. I must calm down."
He knew that the feeling of invincibility was only an illusion.
"Still not strong enough."
At the very least, Rin did not believe his current self could defeat the existence he had glimpsed in the Pokémon World.
The Sinnoh Great Sovereign, the thousand armed Great God who created the Pokémon multiverse from primordial chaos.
"Well, once I return to the Cardinal World, it will be time to begin the next stage of advancement."
Rin had long planned his path of growth.
From acquiring Unique Skills, increasing magicules, completing awakenings, and synthesizing Ultimate Skills, up to this moment, he was confident that as long as he brought back his current gains, he would stand at the apex of the Axis Worldview.
Not only in title and identity, but in strength, surpassing Star King Dragon.
Even Void Rimuru at the end of the original story would likely not be his opponent.
Therefore, Rin would now set his sights on existences at his level, the strongest beings in various worldviews.
For example, the true body of the Sinnoh Great Sovereign in the Pokémon World.
At the very least, only those who were invincible in their era, or who possessed authority over creation and destruction, were qualified to be considered his opponents and prey.
"For this kind of task, I will trouble you, Violet."
"Understood."
Violet replied, "Once I find them, I will immediately notify Rin."
"Good."
With Violet as his chief administrator, he truly had nothing to worry about.
After that, Rin boarded the Sun Boat and quickly rendezvoused with Luminous and the others waiting in Kyoto.
Upon arrival, he saw a group of Miko Hime and a man tied up with a swollen face.
"Wow, who is this?"
He was slightly surprised to see such a strange sight as soon as he stepped off.
"You have arrived, Rin-sama."
Seeing him, Yuri quickly stepped forward to greet him. Luminous was presiding over the Heretic God descent ritual, while Hinata had gone to unseal Sun Wukong in the Western Palace.
"This is the young master of the Kufazuka Family."
"He was defeated by Lady Luminous for obstructing her."
Calling it defeated was already giving him some dignity.
In truth, with a single glance from Luminous, all the Miko Hime fainted, and he fell under her control.
Not only did he open the gate of the Western Palace, but under her command, he slapped himself hundreds of times, turning his face into a pig's head.
"I thought you would kill him."
Rin walked to Luminous' side, somewhat surprised by her decision.
"I have already modified his soul."
"From now on, he will obey our commands completely."
This modification was permanent. Even if this avatar of Luminous were destroyed, Gan would remain loyal to them.
"Is that so."
He had originally intended to kill him, but soul modification was more tragic than death.
It was like brainwashing, altering even one's personality.
"Indeed, this is more convenient than killing him."
"It is almost time."
Soon after, she stopped the prayers of nearly a hundred Miko Hime and looked at him.
Understanding her meaning, Rin immediately cut his palm with the Sword of Dawn.
"By the blood of my Lord, I call upon you."
"Descend, my kin."
"Now is the time to come and pay homage."
As Luminous chanted the spirit words, immense Spiritual Power surged from the Subordinate God descent formation, like heaven and earth overturning, pressing down on everyone present.
Most of the Miko Hime fainted almost instantly.
Only those with exceptional talent, such as Yuri, could barely maintain consciousness.
