A situation where you can't win even if you wake up dead in the night with all the powers of your own world. Even the opponent won't accept your surrender.
But the game originally had a remedy for this situation.
This game encourages cooperation and interaction from the beginning. The game rules were initially designed for players to accept surrender.
The only exception is players with penalty traits, and the organizers have created a way for players to have a 'good defeat' even with these penalty traits, to the relief of many.
It's simple. Just hold out until the dimensional fusion stage.
This game leads from dimensional gates, to dimensional passages, dimensional rifts, and dimensional fusion.
But if you think about it, isn't this part a bit strange? In the first place, the fusion between worlds was already complete during the dimensional fusion stage. And if left as is, they will simply coexist with each other until the next conflict.
So, strictly speaking, the game's conflict phase only goes up to the dimensional rift phase. After that, the conflict is already over.
At this point, if you make peace negotiations, the community will immediately enter a protection period, and if they continue to fight, the absolute time will be the same for all players, so the protection period will continue to decrease.
And even if peace negotiations are never concluded, if the difference in the total points of each world is more than double, the higher one will automatically put the lower one as a subordinate god.
No… To be specific, it is a structure where the one with the one with lower score can enter and become a lower god 'if they want to', but in reality, since they usually know they already have no chance of winning if the score is twice the difference, they won't drag the war out and will simply enter as a lower god.
And if they were accepted as a lower god in this way, they cannot be expelled it unless a lot of
Of course, if they troll openly, they can be kicked out for breaking the rules.
As long as they contribute to the world in some way, they will also disembark when the higher ranked god disembarks, and they will die together when they die. Naturally, since they have become a lower god, they will also receive the penalty characteristics.
And usually, they would have had some points before joining, but they wouldn't receive those points if they surrendered (even if that was the rule, the four meteorites would have surrendered). However, they will be recognized for their contribution based on the points they currently have.
Ogolaot 'naturally' had enough points to buy a mythical trait if he won a game. He had 1.5 million points.
Then, if they add up the civilization points of the opposing world at the time of surrender, they will get about 2 million in contribution points, and to expel a lower god with this amount of contribution points, you need 2 million points of
Even if it was Vein, he cannot use that much
Of course, it is very pitiful for Ogolaot and his subordinate gods who have to work under the villain who tried to kill them…
But no matter how dire the situation, it is better than soul destruction. And who knows? That utterly ignorant beast might just win.
So from now on, the world of Ogolaot will admit that this collision can never be won and moved on to securing a good defeat.
Just as the third opponent, Eung, and his fellow gods knew they would not win and they tried to threaten Yogur-Thoth in any way they could.
"Citizens, go out and bring back as many corpses of the evil spirits as you can! We will begin the final ritual to survive in this world!"
When Ogolaot declared, the buffalo cavalry, which still numbered at about ten thousand, though many were starving, went out and burned as many corpses as possible, feeding their souls and nutrients to the earth.
Vein tried to stop them, but there was a limit due to not being able to directly manipulate living beings.
The Ogolaot army desperately killed the evil spirits and offered their dead bodies as sacrifices to reclaim part of their world, which was already more than half consumed by the Cream Land.
"Now that we have gathered enough offerings, we will begin the ritual."
There's something called terrain levels in the game. But do they mean?
Terrain level, in other words, is the level of the fragments of God.
Starting from the material world, it is divided into
It refers to the level of the fragments of the god that have become.
To level up in either the
In short, an aquifer stores water. An open-pit mine produces gems and minerals.
And the function of the {Volcano} among the terrains was to store {Lava} magic power. A mixture of
Ogolaot pulled all the pastures and plains that supported the world, including the vast population and the buffalo, into the volcano.
This is not something that can be done with 『Creation of Heaven and Earth』. Its characteristics only help this task a little.
Among the subordinate gods, those who are knowledgeable about the spirit world are gathered, and through their efforts, all but 5% of the world are handed over to the Dessert Army, and all the experience points of the remaining lands are gathered and invested in the volcano.
And Ogolaot felt like crying as he was about to sacrifice Dolgoon, who he had become quite affectionate towards.
"Sorry."
[No, my God. I shall live on in just a change of form.]
"In truth, I know we can't win. Our species will become extinct."
[It's okay. It is the life you have given me. I do not shed tears when I kill livestock I raised.]
"You are not cattle, you are a human being. I know that."
[Ogolaot, it's okay. Even if we die, the buffalo will survive. Isn't that enough?]
Shaman Dolgoon threw his body into the volcano's crater. Along with him, he threw the bodies of the Dessert Army and all the mysteries and spiritual realms built from the world into the volcano.
"Arise, volcanic giant! As God's agent, protect this land!"
Ogolaot poured all the

When did the Vein grant intelligence to the fragments of the god that were previously embedded in the terrain?
Remember? Unlike
In other words, if you have enough divine power, you can directly infuse the terrain with divine power from the fragments of the god, turning them into living, moving entities.
In fact, wasn't Shuk-Rimuras an entity just like that? They say they mobilized jelly and jellies, but fundamentally, they were just fragments from an open-pit mine turned into living things.
Ogolaot did the same.
Using the shards of the volcano god as his body and the shaman Dolgoon as his sacrifice, he refined a shard of the god that served as a mine to create a powerful legendary weapon. Its power reached a limit of level 10.
This is the limit because it couldn't possibly pass the level 11 promotion test, but in other words, it became strong enough to go toe-to-toe with Yogur-Thoth.
The volcano itself transformed into a human form, its eyes wide open. A gigantic volcanic giant was born, with the mighty horns of a bison and the frill of a horned dwarf.
"Protect this land! Daioto, Lord of the Volcano! Stop the enemies with your power.
[Yes, my Creator!]
Daioto concentrated, then caused lava to flow not only around the fortress city but also to completely block the Dessert Army's invasion. The smoke rising from the surrounding area blocked the swarms, the sulfurous smell killed the jellies, and the fighting power of that singular entity was enough to rival Yogur-Thoth.
And the Horned Dwarves, Unjara, and the Bison Cavalry remain. They will now face the enemy's main force during the imminent opening of the Dimensional Rift phase.
If I say it like this, it might seem like I've prepared a lot for, but in reality, they've only been cutting into their own flesh to increase their power just enough to withstand the dimensional rift stage in the short term.
Compared to the Dimensional Gate and Dimensional Passage stages, Dimensional Rift stage is terribly long. This stage can last at least 20 years long. All he can think about is enduring those 20 years in a ruined state. Then, he can achieve a 'good defeat'.
Vein had confirmed the enemy's strategy. However, even if he knew this, he could no longer stop it. The fortress city, which had been thoroughly fortified with walls, the volcanic giant patrolling the city's perimeter, and the spirits he had summoned were more than enough to withstand the attack.
Now the game depends on whether or not Vein can break through this.

"I won."
Once I knew it, there was no way I could lose at this point, especially since the enemy had retreated with a "good defeat" strategy.
"Instead of pointlessly fighting, why don't you just accept the opponent's surrender? This game is designed to make you accept the opponent's surrender."
The angel's suggestion was less kind and more like common sense advice. After all, even the angel wants to win. That takes priority over compassion for the world.
"Useless? Well, it's not completely useless."
"Yes?"
"If I were alone, I'd just be a madman who committed pointless massacres because I hated intelligent beings, but with four members of the Meteor Cartel, things are a little different."
Well, we'll know when we get there, but now it's time to really wrap things up.
Now that the enemy has given up on expansion, my Dessert Army has expanded freely into the enemy world. I'm laying down Cream Land and connecting the Syrup River, preparing to integrate the enemy world into my own.
There's no need to use Yogur-Thoth anymore. It's better to wait for now because Yogur-Thoth has been around for years and is quite energy-consuming.
Just slowly recover the nectar that was consumed in large quantities, and as the land area expands into the enemy world, it draws in more flow, transferring resources from the enemy ecosystem into my ecosystem.
He occasionally sent the Bison Knights to slow down these measures, but that was about it. They were only occasionally blocking, and I had no intention of fully opposing them. I simply wouldn't let them grow too big.
And it seems to be used for hunting training as well. Perhaps, they are training the existing army in preparation for the catastrophe that will occur when the rift opens.
That's not the "wrong answer".
I understand that they are actually doing the best they can.
But just because it's not a wrong answer doesn't mean it's the right answer either. At best, it's partial credit.
Ogolaot's strategy comes from the idea that they can 'hold on', but I don't think they will.
Yogur-Thoth is blocked by the volcanic giant over there.
Shuk-Rimuras is stopped by the Bison Knights and that giant buffalo.
So what will stop Nyaltartep?
He probably didn't know about Nyaltartep's existence. He didn't come into my ecosystem to fight, and I didn't see him farming in the Sky Gardens because I hid him from them last time I gave him the chance to observe him.
And even if they knew, they might think, 'If it's just weeding, we can deal with it with manpower.'
But that's wrong. The main plan, the offensive through plants, isn't just about weeds.
You think you can survive in a cramped city for 20 years? You won't last another two years.
Because the second plan using plants has already been successful. Next harvest season
Maybe you will realize it.
You are already nothing more than sacrifices for the promotion tests of my three evil gods. Shuk-Rimuras and Nyaltartep have both reached the maximum level of 10.
If you can hold out until then, well, I'll admit your capabilities. I'll put you in the rank of lower god. What can I do? That's the rule.
If you can't hold out, it ends there.
