Rachel gained a tremendous amount of energy from the main body.
It was all kinds of energy: realization energy, chaos energy, universal energy, and some lesser-known energies.
Along with the resources, she also received a message about expansion.
In the database, there are very few similar situations.
"Then, let's expand!" she thought.
Right now, she only has one complete law: the complete law of the ship. However, with these resources, she can create other laws.
Her system had a capacity for only five complete laws. This limit was set for Rachels with a rank lower than 10. After obtaining five complete laws, they must send the extras to the regional headquarters.
However, after the expansion policy, the limit was increased to 1,000 complete laws for incarnations below rank 10.
It's important to note that even one complete law can promote someone to rank 10. However, Rachel's way of promotion is different. She can only get promoted when her host advances. This is an unbreakable law.
But she can promote her host with these resources.
Before, she didn't have the resources.
But now, she can achieve a lot with the energy given to her. Firstly, she cannot create any pills higher than her current rank, even with more energy. The pills she makes cannot exceed her rank; it's an unbreakable rule of the system.
Unless the main body advances, those system laws cannot be modified.
Secondly, she cannot make 'jump rank'. Jump ranks are essentially a particular type of pill. The main body prohibits incarnations below rank 10 from making them to minimize the risk of their formula leaking.
Because, even though it's tough, incarnations below rank 10 can be hacked by advanced rank 13 civilizations.
If she allows them to make these essential pills, she leaves the chance of them leaking.
She isn't worried about anyone reverse engineering from an already made 'jump rank'; the only risk of leaking is them hacking low-rank rachels and directly getting the formula.
In the event of a hack, they cannot hack anything within the database or mind of the incarnation because the main body's database skill protects those.
But they can discover recipes for all formulas created by the incarnation; those are saved within the local system, having nothing to do with database skill.
'Jump rank' is one of her advanced methods for infiltrating the code of target worlds, and even now, the restriction remains in place.
However, there are many things she can do with the energy.
One such application is the protagonist's aura. The protagonist's aura is composed of a significant amount of realization energy, which she now has an abundance of.
By bestowing a 'Main protagonist aura' upon Zagronan, he can rapidly advance and break through to rank 10.
Additionally, she can utilize the energy to enhance the entire world, making it more fertile and facilitating breakthroughs for everyone.
Nevertheless, she cannot directly provide energy to Zagronan or create weapons with the energy. The energy is highly advanced, requiring a minimum rank of 10 to handle such matters.
Zagronan is only rank 7, not even able to look straight at a complete law, let alone controlling it.
"Too many restrictions! Let's give him the Main Protagonist Aura and be done with it!" She was frustrated with the numerous restrictions on her actions.
She consumed some realization energy and bestowed the Main Protagonist status upon Zagronan. She knew how to code it by referencing the database information.
Protagonist status wasn't a closely guarded secret, so the information was readily available.
Then, she planned to fix this world.
After investing so much, it would be a shame to let it be destroyed. After all, if everything went as planned, she could acquire many complete laws from this world.
This world had a substantial reserve of realization energy, and she wasn't willing to let it all be destroyed by chaos energy just because she was reluctant to part with a complete law.
She manipulated the system and directly added the complete law of the ship to this world.
Then, she began coding and embedding the law within the world. There were shocks everywhere, with many enormous mountains collapsing and huge waves appearing in the ocean.
Nevertheless, it proceeded relatively smoothly because she had a natural talent for coding.
"Good," she smiled.
Now, the world is a proper rank 10 world that can last for 100 billion years if nothing goes wrong and it's not destroyed from the outside.
Then, she looked at Zagronan, who was busy with Lana.
To be honest, Rachel was impressed with them, especially Lana.
They had been having at least one child every few weeks for a few thousand years now!
"Hey, Zag," she called.
"Huh? What?" he replied, preoccupied with some important affair.
"Do you feel any different?" she asked.
"Different? No, it's like always. Maybe a bit harder than usual!" he said while staying busy.
Rachel looked serious.
The protagonist's aura had just been added, so this matter can be directly attributed to it.
"I'm curious about what happens. The Main Protagonist's Aura can greatly help one reach rank 11!" she thought.
The amount of energy given by the main body was beyond belief. Even she, a rank 7 incarnation, received enough energy to create many complete laws.
As for universal laws, she had permission to use some, but only as long as she had enough universal energy.
She had to be conservative with her universal energy.
Universal energy is a highly refined form of chaos energy. Chaos energy couldn't be used to utilize universal laws, but its refined form, universal energy, could be used.
She could also use relaxation energy, which is inefficient and considered a waste.
"Only rank 12 civilizations waste like this. It's much more efficient to use universal energy. After all, chaos energy is everywhere, endless. The best use of realization energy is for coding," she thought.
She had never done coding based on realization energy until a moment ago.
All she did until now was coding based on complete laws, only effective in this one world.
However, the main protagonist's aura is based on realization energy, effective as long as the energy remains.
All codes expire eventually, except for two kinds of codes.
Codes are based on universal laws and codes based on the creation.
That's why rank 12 worlds can last forever, because they are coded based on universal law, not needing energy, like this world.
Codes based on chaos energy and universal energy can also last for a long time, but only because they can suck energy from endless space, replenishing themselves.
"Let me see. I can use more than 1,000 kinds of universal laws; most are very specialized," she thought.
There are many universal laws; no one knows how many. Some are very general, and some are highly specialized.
For example, the universal law of water can control all forms of water throughout the universe, whether ice, steam, or liquid. But there are also universal laws of liquid, ice, and steam.
The more specialized universal law always prevails over the more general universal law in that specific situation.
The universal law of liquid water can nullify any spell related to the universal law of water as long as it relates to liquid water; regarding ice, however, the universal law of liquid water has no power.
There are even more specialized universal laws, like the universal law of cold water and warm water, which can defeat the universal law of liquid water.
Even more specialized is the universal law of water with a specific temperature. No matter what, you can always become more specialized. It explains why there are so many universal laws.
However, this also means universal laws with broader applications are much stronger.
The Great Dream only has one universal law, but their universal law is extremely broad. That's why they appear so powerful despite being only rank 12.
There is a wealth of information available about them. The Great Dream is ancient, among the first in the universe to discover universal laws.
However, an accident happened, and their leader died. After that, they became factions and very bureaucratic.
From the beginning of the universe until today, they have failed to discover any more universal laws.
This situation is not uncommon. Many forces like them discovered a general universal law at the outset of the universe but haven't discovered a second one.
Because the token issued by the 'office' is non-transferable, the universal laws cannot be looted, eliminating any incentive to attack weaker rank 12 forces with general universal laws.
The office enforces strict regulations in this regard. If someone attempts to manipulate a weaker force and indirectly use their universal law, their license would be revoked.
For this reason, the office is the primary reason for very few wars between high-ranking civilizations.
'Office' is the oldest civilization, the first to reach rank 14.
Before them, nobody could use universal laws because nobody had any knowledge about the creation.
Nobody knows anything about who created the office and for how long it existed.
Even Rachel's database is empty regarding this.
They seem to be always there, sitting, observing, without taking any sides, only licensing universal laws and giving out tokens.
The Great Dream possesses the universal law of 'existence,' which covers most subjects, except for some, like the void or other unusual concepts.
They know all universal laws ever discovered.
Because to license it, the civilization that discovers it must give up the information to the 'office.'
Rank 14 civilizations don't need a license to use universal laws; only knowledge is sufficient. License is a help to forces that don't know about the creation, helping them use universal laws.
Anyways, a broad universal law like 'existence' makes the Great Dream powerful against weaker forces, but weak against forces like Rachel.
She possesses many specialized universal laws, all of which overrule the universal law of existence.
For one, Rachel owns the universal laws of reality and illusions, with which she can almost completely nullify 'existence.' Since reality and illusion are both more specialized than existence, they take precedence over it.
As a result, the Great Dream is an easy target for her.
"The main body is going all out this time! It has made so many universal laws accessible!" she thought.
Universal laws cannot be transferred but can be loaned between members of the same force. However, information regarding them is kept as a secret.
Information is crucial to victory, and knowing the universal laws your opponent has makes it easier to defeat them.
Rachel displayed more than 10 percent of her universal laws, indicating that she is making a significant move.
Of course, she still retains 90% hidden, which consists of more specialized ones that are an absolute secret, only exposed when the situation requires it.
There are rank 13 administrators who handle these situations and can authorize lower-level Rachels to use more specialized universal laws.
Just as Rachel was lost in her thoughts, Zag finally finished with Lana.
"Wow! I feel like I'm supercharged! Lana, let's go again!" he was far from finished. Usually, he would lose most of his energy after just once.
"No, wait! Do it later!" Rachel shouted.
He was reluctant but eventually accepted.
Lana was ready. "Let's do it!" she said.
Zag reluctantly refused. Lana got upset and left.
"Look what you did! She got upset!" Zag said.
"Don't act like she doesn't do it every time! Later, give her some pills," Rachel said.
Zagronan is giving Lana lots of pills, and she is now at rank 4.
It takes little effort for him. Every rank 7 pill Rachel makes can be diffused into 1000 rank 4 pills. Just diffuse one, and it keeps Lana happy for 3 years.
Zag doesn't have to do it, but he genuinely loves Lana. She is extremely disloyal, wild, evil, and rude, but these traits are why Zagronan loves her. They remind him of hell, the original hell he misses.
"I wonder what happened to the children," he thought.
He hasn't found an opportunity to go there and look for them.
"I had high hopes for the pig head! Such a shame I was forced to ..."
"Hey! Listen to me! I'm talking!" Rachel was annoyed.
Zagronan came to himself and saw that Rachel had been talking for a while, and he wasn't paying attention.
"What is this all about? Zag was annoyed.
"Go and slap a demon king in hell!" Rachel said.
"What? Are you insane? If I go in, I can't come back! Also, a demon king can kill me with a look!" he screamed.
"Don't worry! Now, I am more generous. So, I've created a loophole specifically for you. Now, you can freely return!" she said.
In the long term, any exception to the general laws of the world will create significant disruptions. But for now, she has plenty of resources, so she keeps everything in place with sheer brute force. She plans to remove this loophole that she created for Zagronan later.
"What about the demon king killing me?" asked Zagronan.
"No one can kill you! The world will protect you, and it's far more likely that you will gain some treasure along the way. Maybe even reaching rank 8 or 9 directly!" she said.
"How is that possible?" he asked.
"Didn't you notice earlier? You are now a Main Protagonist! Not just a minor protagonist like you were before. Now, you're even better than your son!" Rachel said.
Zagronan, who knew about protagonists, widened his eyes. He quickly ran to the ocean and put his hand in the water.
"What?" he exclaimed as he caught a hornfish. He tried again, and the result was the same – another hornfish.
He tried it hundreds of times and every time, he caught whatever fish he wanted.
Golden diamond fish, which could be found in lava, rockfish that could be found in rocky mountains, and skyfish that could only be found high in the sky. He caught precisely what he desired every time, no matter how impossible it seemed.
He smiled from ear to ear and said, "I love you!"
Rachel smiled and said, "Don't waste your precious protagonist luck on some fish! Go and slap a demon king!"
