Chapter 159: God is Thinking
Within this First-Loop Dream Bubble, Mo Yu could clearly observe, from a bystander's perspective, how the majestic will of "God" tore through the world barrier and descended into the world-bubble.
The Ultimate Xiao Hei body, which had been nurtured and forged within the tide of the Heavenly Killing Intent, naturally gravitated toward that divine will, merging with it. This Ultimate Xiao Hei body was originally forged by the God of Crime to carry a deity's sapience and will. However, the God of Crime never expected a third deity to suddenly pop up—and one with a majestic, far-reaching status that possessed plenty of will but no physical form.
It was a match made in heaven. The ultimate god-body the God of Crime prepared for himself became the vessel for an "Alien Pinduoduo God" to walk the mortal realm!
After watching the entire history of the first loop, Mo Yu sat in silence, tilted his head, and sprouted a mental field of question marks.
Did I really come to the Detective Conan world-bubble?
It wasn't just the fact that the plot was tragic and dark to this degree. The real kicker was that the true storyline of this Conan bubble wasn't a "crime-solving show" about a detective outsmarting criminals; it was an ultimate war of gods—between the God of Detectives and the God of Crime—spanning across eons of creation and destruction, where human civilization rose and fell through uncounted chaotic years.
One was an urban mystery; the other was high mythology. They weren't even in the same genre.
As Mo Yu pondered, his Omniscience Authority bashfully handed him a small mental "sticky note," pointing out some oversights the elderly God had made. Then, realization dawned on him.
Back when he was searching for world-bubbles, he had locked onto Detective Conan, but he had added filters. Since he was looking for raw materials for the "Heavenly Soul Reaper Super Rocket Ark," he had included search conditions like "Hardest Possible" and "Strongest Possible."
The result? God got exactly what he asked for.
This specific Conan bubble was definitely "Strong," "Hard," and "Intense." Among all the Conan bubbles in the Silver Sea, this one was a genetic mutation, a truly explosive outlier! Mo Yu, as God, had certainly expanded his horizons. He even planned to write a fanfiction novel about this world later to show readers just how wild secondary dimensions and fan creations could get.
For now, even without a 100% survey of the underlying architecture, Mo Yu was 10,000% certain that this world-bubble was more than enough to serve as the "armor" for the Super Ark. In fact, using it as the Ark's main weapon wouldn't be a problem at all!
But the current problem was elsewhere.
As Mo Yu learned more, his Omniscience Authority worked better. After factoring in the First-Loop history, the Authority provided some "Safety Risk" assessments for this world-bubble.
The biggest issue was the "Lifespan" of the bubble.
This world didn't actually have a "First Loop" or "Second Loop" distinction. The story began uncounted ages ago when Conan was still dazed and ignorant but already possessed the power of an Eternal God, unknowingly pushing the world into despair. At that time, the world's structure was relatively natural. But at the end, when humanity's siege of Conan began, the world started breaking.
The essence of the World is blind. It has no concept of good or evil; it simply follows the fundamental logic and laws of its birth, operating as a never-ending stage. It may have trends, but like a river, it flows by inertia. Like a real planet, the world simply follows laws—from stardust collapse to oceans of magma, from oxygen explosions to mass extinctions.
Initially, Conan—as the Eternal Protagonist and the "other side" of the stage—was the same. The beings of the first loop weren't wrong: back then, Conan was an Evil God. His existence was a cluster of world rules, ignorant and void of self-awareness, acting out the "Detective" setting with mechanical precision.
Humanity's success was actually more brilliant than they realized. An ignorant, absolute supreme Evil God was forcibly beaten into "Awakening" by the continuous sacrifices of mankind. When Shinichi Kudo's mind finally broke through the shackles and "opened its eyes" within that child-like but indestructible God-Body, humanity had won a partial victory.
The Evil God had fallen; the True God had returned!
However, the True God had been awake for too short a time. He couldn't yet use his will to control the supreme divine authority condensed from world laws; he was still driven by the detective instincts.
Humanity couldn't accept this, and neither could Shinichi. The war continued. The actors on stage couldn't stand the infinite overtime and revolted. When even the protagonist is broken, the stage itself suffers. That "Endless Day" was a symptom of the stage's breakdown.
If it had stopped there, the stage might have repaired itself. Conan's gradual recovery of his power over eons was the stage's attempt at correction. Every time he collapsed, he regained his reason because the stage was "helping" him. In the cycle of madness and lucidity, Conan began to comprehend all truths and master his supreme authority—resurrecting things by memory, knowing the "Truth" with a glance.
But Conan's status was too high. For him to fully awaken and take control, in the terms of a cultivation novel, would take "Kalpas" of time—eras defined by the birth and death of universes.
The problem was the "Price" of awakening. Human civilization would inevitably revive and be destroyed over and over as a byproduct of his growth. It was an unsolvable dilemma: like a planet with a cosmic beast gestating beneath its crust—any movement from the infant beast would shatter the surface civilization.
Conan and Ai eventually made a decision. A perfect Supreme God didn't need to be born. Only death was the true salvation. They began the Final Judgment to birth the God of Crime as the blade to slay the self.
The issue lay in the God of Crime's birth. From the start, the "production budget" (the supreme world laws) was tied only to Conan. The stage and the protagonist were two sides of one coin. Then, a second one appeared.
Normally, the stage wouldn't care. Who is the God of Crime? He's not on the cast list. You want supreme law funding for an ultimate god-war? Rejected. Get out.
But the one asking was Conan. The Stage had to think. Could it refuse its absolute star? No.
So the Stage "scraped the bottom of the barrel," finding every bit of essence it could to forge the status of the God of Crime. This directly shortened the world's "Lifespan."
After being born, the God of Crime immediately used his power to perform a Poincaré recurrence, reviving human civilization at a specific point in time. Then, he used his authority to suppress everything—primarily Conan. He forced the indestructible Conan to lose all divinity and "grow up" again as Shinichi Kudo.
This was why Mo Yu found a "normal" timeline when he arrived. The God of Crime had forcibly imposed a "normal" time axis to suppress the chaos.
Supreme Authority clashed with Supreme Authority—an internal battle of laws. No world could survive such stress for long. Thus, when Shinichi "awakened" his Conan-body via Gin's hands, the Stage shattered the time axis, reverting to a chaotic, beginningless system.
At this point, the world-bubble's lifespan was damaged but acceptable. But the next part was the kicker. The Omniscience Authority deduced the God of Crime's "Criminal Trick": He was resetting the world to replay the God-Slaying War.
The surging killing intent was writing the "Script of Fate." The characters, the plot, even Conan's bonds were identical to the first loop. The God of Crime wanted to recreate the moment where Gin, the Saint of Slaughter, stood against Conan.
Perhaps in that god's eyes, the greatest "Case" in history was that war. Although Gin—the man carrying humanity's hope—lost, it was a "crime of non-war."
What if, during that fight, Gin had another God standing behind him? Or rather, what if Gin wore the Ultimate Xiao Hei body forged by the God of Crime over eons, breaking through to become a God of Slaughter?
What if he chambered a bullet made of the refined, eons-old Heavenly Killing Intent? Combined with a shooting technique that could lock down Laws and negate Protagonist Miracles? Could that single shot transcend Fate and write a "True Grand Finale" for the God of Detectives?
This God of Crime was born from the ritual of Conan and humanity; he carried their collective will and was influenced by it. Big Brother Gin won't lose if we try again, the God of Crime basically reasoned.
Mo Yu's evaluation was complex. He didn't deny the plan's success rate—first-loop Gin was indeed Everyone's Big Brother. A finale-tier shot was possible.
But Mo Yu knew that if Conan died, the world-bubble would be crippled or die instantly. The Stage and the Protagonist were one. If the God of Crime replaced him, it wouldn't be good news either. The rules of the Stage are absolute: as long as it exists, there will be endless cases. In the third loop, a new "God of Detectives" would eventually rise to challenge the God of Crime.
The Prince kills the dragon, drinks its blood, becomes the King, has a Prince of his own, and eventually grows scales and claws to become the new dragon. The cycle repeats.
In the Omniscience Authority's estimation, this was the "Safety Risk." If Mo Yu used this bubble as armor, it might just "crack" and break during use.
Mo Yu thought it through. Knowing the problem is the first step to solving it.
This story had already changed the moment he descended. He had "NTR'd" the Xiao Hei body before its fated time and blew it up into 100,000 shards. The "Script of Fate" was already diverging due to the introduction of Stands.
More importantly, the God of Crime himself was broken! He was nameless, but Mo Yu had branded him with the immortal name of "Moriarty" in the root logic. Mo Yu had fundamentally usurped a portion of his existence, making the God of Crime dazed and muddled lately.
Mo Yu decided to fix the story.
He pulled his vision out of the First-Loop Dream Bubble. The fused armor was still rampaging; the "666 Kaiju" was marching through Beika; Conan, Vodka, and the scarred man were playing "Detective vs. Monster," while the mad Ran was hunting them down.
Mo Yu ignored the chaos. He extended his invisible Hand of God toward the First-Loop Dream Bubble and squeezed.
He molded it into the shape of an Arrow.
When talking about Stands, one cannot forget the legendary Stand Arrow. Though this was just a high-fidelity "cosplay prop" handcrafted by Mo Yu, for the Stand Users of this world, it would be infinitely more powerful than the original.
Simultaneously, Mo Yu shifted his perspective from the Conan bubble to the Bleach world-bubble.
A divine voice drifted from the heavens, whispering into the ear of Ichigo Kurosaki in World-0:
"Ichigo-kun... I, your God, have found a very 'intense' and 'hardcore' world. As my Knight, are you interested in visiting that world for a bit? Let's film a Movie: 'Alien War-God vs. The Detective.'"
