She first told the Spirits here that she was the Goddess of Rebirth named "Tierra", whose domain was machinery and reincarnation.
Of course, that wasn't the main point. The main point was that Tierra's "Materialism" body possessed the ability to calculate world data, thereby analyzing and even repairing it.
When Tierra spoke of her ability, the Spirits here all revealed expressions of great excitement; some Spirits even embraced each other and wept.
But once the good news was delivered, what followed was the bad part.
First of all, this wasn't Tierra's first time doing something like this.
In fact, even after her current rebirth, she had already carried out two or three reincarnation-reconstruction operations.
The first time was at a Fusion Army Dimension outpost, where she corrected that Dimension's reincarnation; the second time was transforming the Frightfur Dimension; the third time was after activating Materialism, when, as agreed, she went to the Vampire Kingdom Dimension, set Materialism in place there, then ran calculations and deductions, performing Dimension repairs.
That was her personal ability—also her "achievements", her "miracles", in this brand-new era.
However, this ability was not something that could be used casually.
Even a Goddess of Rebirth had limits.
If you want to modify a world's underlying logic, there is a crucial condition: you must at least obtain the approval of the overwhelming majority of life in that world—otherwise she and Sofia wouldn't have been struck down by Creation when they tried to rebuild a world.
By the same token, modifying a Dimension also requires the approval of that world's life.
It's just that…
"Are we the minority?" Demon Eye let out a bitter smile.
In this chaotic, merged-into-one Dimension, Spirits like them, who did not excessively pursue power and only wished to retain reason, were the minority; they might not even make up a tenth. In such circumstances, Tierra naturally could not just alter things at will.
"That's even better, big sis!" Ecclesia's eyes suddenly lit up. "Then we should go save everyone first!"
Demon Eye took a deep breath.
Yes—
That's right.
Since that was the case, they should first, one after another, rescue their maddened compatriots in this world.
"Besides that, there's another problem." At this point, Tenjo Hikari added in passing.
"Eh, what is it?" They braced themselves to face an even harsher trial.
"Materialism was only here temporarily before." Tenjo Hikari pointed to the side. "Right now, Materialism is basically docked in the Vampire Kingdom, maintaining that Dimension's stability."
Tenjo Hikari gave them a rough explanation.
When they heard that the Vampire Kingdom was likewise a Dimension bombarded by Red Light—its territory not as severely damaged as theirs, but shrinking more and more because of it—the Spirits were both saddened and regretful.
Saddened that not only their Dimension was in crisis, and regretful because…
Lord Hikari's meaning was very clear.
The Vampire Kingdom had already prepared to cooperate with Hikari beforehand. Now that Materialism was repairing their Dimension, that was naturally perfectly reasonable.
Although Tenjo Hikari very much wanted to help this Dimension, and Tierra was extremely curious about it as well, their previous work was still unfinished; rashly changing their assignment might result in unreasonable outcomes. What's more, if they abandoned an earlier ally just because a later Dimension was more beneficial to them, what kind of Fusion would that be?
Of course, Tierra also offered other suggestions—namely, that they could find time and opportunities to visit the Vampire Kingdom, whether to forge alliances or to learn from experience; both would be excellent.
Although the Vampire Kingdom Dimension was far better off than theirs, the Vampire Kingdom's "self-healing" started much earlier than theirs as well.
The Great Divinity Official naturally had no objections to this.
For those like them who had no hope, being able to glimpse a sliver of hope was already a driving force to move forward—let alone that this wasn't just "a sliver of hope"; it was a solid, tangible result right before their eyes!
As for alliance and negotiations, those could be left for later.
Of course, there were still many other issues.
Namely, after the pollution in the Great Divinity Official's body was extracted, their outpost would also need defensive arrangements to be re-established. Black Flame volunteered, saying it could lead a team of Elf Companions to guard this place.
Though it was usually taciturn and quiet, in truth, it was a very sharp individual.
As more and more Spirits gathered in Tenjo Hikari's team, quite a few Spirits had gradually begun to develop a kind of "restlessness"—to put it bluntly: "When will it be my turn to appear, and how can I be of help to Hikari?"
As super veteran old-timers, Flame Sword and Black Flame—who could more or less catch a bit of spotlight whenever "Absolute Fusion Master" was mentioned—naturally didn't care about such details; likewise, Spirits like Crystal who were especially favored and often Summoned in battles, wouldn't be thinking about these things.
However, it knew that this mood was still steadily brewing in the Great Cosmic Workshop.
Situations like One-Eyed Battle's previously would definitely not be isolated cases.
Those who could endure solitude like Gaia and A-Assault Core either had good temperament and disposition, or were elderly Spirits like Mud Dragon King.
Otherwise, they were existences like Earthbound Immortal and the Three Phantasm, who were overjoyed as long as they had somewhere to exist at all.
But—
In the Great Cosmic Workshop, there were still many Spirits who had, over time, gradually converged on the various Planets within the Great Cosmic Workshop.
Those Spirits were not like that.
Thus, it believed that, as the right-hand of the lord, it was precisely at times when the lord was pulled in too many directions that it should share his burdens.
