However, doing so would involve some risks for Damien.
Unlike maintaining a single passage to gradually acquire laws through infiltration, directly relocating a continent would inevitably lead to its complete fusion with the Central World.
In other words, the Voice of the World would incorporate the entire continent into its rule system.
At first, those summoned might not notice anything.
But as they engaged in continuous slaughter or achieved great feats, the magicules of the Central World would eventually flow into the new land, elevating its level.
General Skills, Inherent Skills, Extra Skills, Unique Skills, Ultimate Skills, and Special Skills.
These power systems of the Central World would, over time, gradually manifest in the new continent.
In the worst-case scenario, it could even give rise to new True Demon Lords.
"Violet, is there no way to fully control it?"
"No."
Damien shook his head. "The Voice of the World's power is divided into active and passive."
"When external entities enter the Central World, the Voice of the World passively integrates them."
"This process is something even Violet can't interfere with."
The changes were akin to a person's brain and body.
You can control your body to do many things, but you can't control blood flow, hormone secretion, or the immune system.
That's why the Central World needed Demon Lords and monsters.
In the Central World, the Daemons served as the immune system under the Voice of the World.
Demon Lords protected the world's core (the Central World) while punishing existences that threatened the ecosystem.
"Establishing a passage between Konosuba and the Central World is like taking a supplement."
"But directly summoning an entire continent is akin to an organ transplant."
The introduction of new functions would inevitably bring bloodshed.
Violet controlled the subjective agency of this 'person.'
She could choose to take the supplement or perform the surgery.
As for the outcome...
That depended on how Damien, the local Demon Lords, and the nations' powerhouses handled it.
"With such flaws, should we still proceed?"
Velzard didn't quite understand, though she could grasp what Damien was worried about.
They weren't afraid... it was just troublesome.
Like flies that couldn't harm you but could still annoy you.
"That's the downside of the Central World as our foundation."
In truth, Damien fully controlled only two worlds: the Void World and the Central World within the Cardinal World.
Yes, only the Central World, not the entire Cardinal World.
The world created by Veldanava wasn't yet entirely Damien's.
"Though it might sound disrespectful to Veldanava..."
Velzard advised, "If this world ends up holding you back, it's better not to hesitate when it's time to let go."
"It hasn't come to that yet."
Damien gave a wry smile, surprised by Velzard's decisiveness.
How should he put it?
Violet's desire to completely replace the Voice of the World was something Damien supported.
Controlling the Voice of the World would mean gaining sovereignty over the Central World.
However, that was the extent of it.
For the entire Cardinal World, no matter how many new laws Damien acquired from otherworlds, he wouldn't gain much benefit.
"For us now, the Cardinal World remains the best protective umbrella."
Damien's true foundation had always been the Void World.
The Void World's potential undoubtedly surpassed that of the Cardinal World... no question about it.
However, the Void World was still young, and in terms of scale, it couldn't compare to the Cardinal World.
To put it simply:
Initially, the Star King Dragon created the world with 100 units of authority... this was quality.
Then, over countless eons, those authorities evolved and split, causing the material and spiritual worlds to expand into the current Cardinal World.
That was quantity!
The universe might be vast, but many parts shared similarities.
When it came down to uniqueness, it was limited to a small core.
The origin at the dawn of creation and the origin in the era of the great universe remained unchanged in quantity.
However!
With Damien's arrival, the Cardinal World welcomed new rules, leading to a qualitative transformation.
After countless eons, it underwent a qualitative change once more.
"According to Violet's calculations, it's impossible for us to fully control the Cardinal World."
The only thing Damien could do was dominate the Central World through the Voice of the World, turning this central hub... the origin of laws and concepts... into his own.
This way, Damien would essentially become the Game Master, able to remotely control the entire universe through the Central World.
"In contrast, my Void World, in terms of source quality, is actually superior to the Cardinal World."
The Void World itself was a copy of the Cardinal World.
From the start, their quality was entirely equivalent.
However, with the subsequent introduction of new rules from worlds like Konosubaverse, Nasuverse, and Douluoverse, the Void World's source quality had surpassed that of the Cardinal World.
There was no helping it... introducing new laws was different for each.
The Void World was like a blank canvas, able to absorb them directly.
But the Cardinal World required the Central World, its 'stomach,' to digest and absorb first.
Only then could the new concepts be distributed as nutrients throughout the universe.
"Right now, the Void World, compared to the Cardinal World, is like a drop of water to an ocean."
"But that drop contains elements identical to the ocean."
The gap in scale between a nascent universe and an established one was just that vast... nothing surprising about it.
Quality versus quantity... which was more important?
If Damien had to choose, he'd pick the former.
It was like the magicules in a Demon Lord's domain versus those in a Calamity's domain.
When two universes collided, the one with less source quality would be consumed.
"The reason I say the Cardinal World is our protective umbrella..."
Damien smiled. "Is because if we encounter an enemy we can't defeat, we can simply abandon the Cardinal World and flee with the Central World!"
Since Velzard was fully on his side, he could talk about escaping without worrying about appearances.
And this was why Damien couldn't bear to let go of the Cardinal World.
There was no helping it... the Star King Dragon's legacy was just too useful.
Like a protective shield, an outer shell.
If they encountered an overwhelmingly powerful enemy like Arceus, Damien could retreat before the enemy destroyed the Cardinal World.
Conversely, if he prematurely merged the Void World with the Central World...
It would come with great risk, allowing the enemy to locate the Void World through the Central World and harm Damien's foundation.
