Chapter 244: Chat With Alune
[The Will of the World is pretty much a blank slate. At the start of a world’s existence, it mirrors the Universe’s Will. When lifeforms start to form, the laws begin mirroring them instead. So, for example…] Alune trailed off.
[If… let’s say, penguins are the ones in charge. They’re cute, they’re adorable… they’re cute…]
“You’re repeating yourself,” Rael pointed out with a raised brow.
[O-Oh. My bad,] Alune replied in a sheepish tone. [Basically, penguins are innocent creatures, so naturally, the law of the world will forbid killing. Now, if a world is filled to the brim with fighting, war, and all of that nonsense, then the Law of Death is much more lax.]
“Hmm…” Rael tilted his head. “So it’s like an adaptive artificial intelligence?”
[Um… yes? That’s a better analogy…] Alune muttered.
“I see…” Rael replied. “So it can be corrupted then? What happens if the limit is reached or something?”
She remained silent for a few moments before finally speaking.
[Corruption is rare, though it’s very unlikely,] she said plainly. [There’d need to be someone on a god’s level to corrupt it. So you don’t have to worry for the time being. Solenne is strong, but she’s not someone who meddles in affairs directly.]
Alune sighed. [As for the limit, yes, there’s one in theory… It’s basically when all the laws are broken at once, and the world tries to fix them. But since there’s so many, it simply deletes every single inhabitant before resetting the cycle again.]
“What about me?” Rael asked. “Is my strength too much for this world?”
