If this is the case, it would explain why godkillers die quickly after being stripped of their powers, essentially making them no different from disobedient gods.
After witnessing the fate of the first "experimental subject," Lin Yi was hesitant to take action against the powers he possessed.
In addition to the four powers that he had seized from the leader of the Luo Hao sect at the beginning, Lin Yi gained three more powers after successively dealing with three "disobedient gods" from other worlds.
Power: Thunder Overlord.
The power originates from the ancient sorcerer Zelas, which can freely manipulate all naturally occurring lightning forces, and at its maximum output, it can evaporate 10% of the Indian Ocean's seawater.
Power: Lord of the Yellow Sands.
The power comes from the desert emperor Azir, who can integrate his will into the yellow sand. Whether it is forming or breaking down, it is just a matter of a thought. This is why he was able to build an empire out of thin air in a barren desert.
Powers: Solar disk
The power comes from the ancient Shurima Empire's sacred relic—the Sun Disc. The power of the Sun Disc alone is meaningless, but when combined with the power of the Lord of the Sands, it can create another independent little world with "origin," "development," and "reincarnation."
Ragnarok: Chapter 417 "I'm Too Strong"
The time has been moved back two days.
With the Sahara Desert incident settled, the news of the fall of the world's second god-slayer, the "King of Swords," following the Lord of Luo Hao, has been fully disseminated. Regardless of the reactions of ordinary people, the reaction from the mystical world can only be described as utter despair. Among them, the Southern European magic world, which has lost its leader and also its strongest, is the most pessimistic.
"...No one really knows what happened in the Sahara, but the consequences are already quite obvious."
"The desert has expanded three times since it began, and the sandstorms are still spreading outwards, and are not expected to subside for the next three months."
"People within the dust storm's radius have begun to flee in panic, and there's nothing we can do about it."
"There is some good news, at least thanks to the efforts of Mrs. Elsa and Lord John, the freezing trend in the Indian Ocean has eased somewhat."
"It took two Godslayers so long to barely control the Indian Ocean alone. So what's next? After the fall of two Godslayers, who will dare to stop 'him'?"
"Everyone, this is not only the end of the mysterious road, but also the end of humanity. No one can escape this end."
In the midst of the near-collapse, someone suddenly suggested, "We still have one god-slayer willing to stop him."
"You mean the god-slayer who killed the god of war?"
“That’s right, he didn’t waver in the slightest even when faced with the fall of the Sword King.”
"This is good news, but relying on him alone is far from enough."
After the atmosphere of collapse and despair eased slightly, someone raised a new question: "Why have we always treated this unknown entity with hostility?"
"what do you mean?"
"Literally, Your Excellency, from the moment we first noticed this being's appearance, we never seemed to have any intention of befriending him. Instead, we repeatedly tried to stop or even kill him. Why is that?"
Someone shouted, "He's destroying our world!"
"He is indeed doing that now, but is that really his goal?"
Looking around at the crowd, the speaker suddenly stood up: "Gentlemen, if you were in their shoes, would you attack a group of ordinary people you have no connection with for no reason?"
"Not to mention that he has never deliberately targeted us since he appeared."
"Then how do you explain the events in Jiangnan?"
"That was just a personal feud between the Five Hells Holy Sect—the sect leader Luo Hao—and him."
"What about Italy?"
“Every magician hopes to become a god-slayer. Even if they have surpassed the gods who do not obey, the legend of killing gods with human form is still quite attractive.”
"According to your understanding, how would you explain the Indian Ocean incident?"
"Not just the Indian Ocean, but also the Sahara—"
"That's god-killing. When a human is fighting against a god, do you still have the mind to worry about the destruction to the surroundings? We can only conclude that he is too powerful, so much so that even a simple aftershock can easily destroy our world."
"So, according to your understanding, he didn't target anyone?"
"Yes, he was just doing his own 'thing'."
"Lord John was defeated because he coveted him, and the Sword King fell because he challenged him. Apart from that, he was just doing his own thing and never targeted anyone."
"Or rather, there might not even be anyone in this world who needs to be targeted by him."
Surprisingly, these words, which belittled almost everyone, did not provoke any resistance. It would naturally anger the person being belittled to belittle one another because of another, but if the object of comparison is "inhuman," then being able to be compared with it is already a great honor in itself.
The position was once held by a god-slayer, but now it has been taken over by an "unknown" who is even more terrifying than a god-slayer, and the magicians accept it as a matter of course.
The topic eventually returned to the initial question.
"How do we stop him? Not with violence, but in other ways."
"Perhaps we can communicate with him."
Is he able to communicate?
"It has been confirmed that the Japanese god-killer can indeed communicate."
"Incredible! If that's the case, why haven't we considered this possibility before?"
"In any case, the most important thing now is to find a way to communicate with him. Only by knowing what he is thinking can we get him to stop this destruction."
"That's right, so who should we send?"
"Where is the person who made the suggestion?"
"Here—it's gone?!"

Greece.
"The world doesn't seem to reject my existence too much."
Feeling the almost completely replicated spatial ability within his body, Lin Yi, walking down the street, suddenly asked the being in his mind, "Is it because of the information entity?"
[This is a flawed judgment; to date, the will of this world has taken 27,961 actions of rejection against information entities.]
"Then why didn't I sense it?"
The world's will is too weak to effectively interfere with the actions of information entities.
Lin Yi suddenly realized: "So it's the same as in the previous active world, eliminating it by manipulating the external environment?"
[Incorrect judgment; the actions of characters in the local world are entirely subjective.]
"...That's interesting. To be completely indifferent to a 'bad guest' who runs rampant on its own land, should I thank it for its generosity or praise its kindness?"
Lin Yike hadn't forgotten the time when she almost wiped out all the reincarnators in the God Space just by invading a low-activity world. Compared to her current situation, it was hard to believe that this was a similar story.
According to calculations, under the current baseline, the probability of posing an effective threat to the information entity within the active world is less than 1.9%, the probability of posing an effective threat to the entity itself is less than 0.0008%, and the probability of posing an effective threat to the God Realm is less than 0.00000000000001%.
"..."
A long silence.
"So it turns out I was just too strong."
For a weak aggressor, a world with overwhelming advantages will naturally use every means to eliminate them. However, for an aggressor that is impossible to resist, besides making a pointless resistance with all one's might, the only thing left to do is to silently endure it.
The gap has widened to such an extent that even a fight to the death is not an option. Of course, based on the many worlds Lin Yi has encountered, the world itself would never do such a self-destructive thing. After all, if there is only a 1% chance of continued existence, it would never choose the 100% chance of annihilation.
Furthermore, in order to satisfy the aggressor as quickly as possible and get him to leave, they might even take actions that seem utterly unbelievable to the aggressor...
Midnight~
Ragnarok: Chapter 418 Justice Will Prevail
"Peace?"
Admittedly, Lin Yi was initially stunned when he heard the word from the magician in front of him, to the point that he began to wonder if there was something wrong with his "language proficiency".
"Yes, we are willing to pay any price we can to gain your mercy."
The magician's posture was already at its lowest point, only because he couldn't quite figure out Lin Yi's likes and dislikes; otherwise, he might have even knelt down to show his submission.
In this dynamic world where god-slayers possess such high-level combat power, the people of the mystical side have learned how to cater to and please these high-ranking individuals.
It is obvious that Lin Yi is now regarded as someone of a similar or even higher social class, so it is only natural that he would adopt this attitude.
While pondering these matters, Lin Yi himself did not intend to make things difficult for these former comrades: "In my memory, I should not have ever fought a war with you."
"But you're not in the Indian Ocean or the Sahara Desert..."
"It's just repeating what you've already done."
He paused, then said, “Summon, kill, and then usurp—to those things called ‘disobedient gods’.”
The magician was stunned.
Before he arrived here, he had imagined all sorts of scenarios, including the possibility of being killed or turned into a puppet who was worse than dead if he disagreed with someone. But he never expected that this "Godslayer," who was regarded by all magicians as an apocalyptic disaster, would be so easy to talk to... and so difficult to communicate with.
Organizing his words, the magician tried to express himself more concisely: "Your Excellency the Godslayer, if it is merely to bring forth a disobedient god, you can have us do it for you. We can handle any kind of god, regardless of their status or pantheon. Of course, we cannot match your methods and skills, but this tedious process can be easily done by others."
—Using the resources of China to win the favor of other nations.
Looking at this extremely humble magician, Lin Yi didn't know why this sentence came to mind. After comparing the experiences of two worlds and two eras, he suddenly realized that the two had not changed in essence.
When faced with a powerful external enemy, the decaying empire did not think about how to resist but how to cater to it.
When a weak world faces a powerful invader, its concern is not how to eliminate the invader, but how to satisfy the invader.
The roles and positions may change, but the fundamental nature of the survival of the fittest remains the same.
"Weakness is the original sin."
"Your Excellency the Godslayer?"
After seeing the true nature of things, he realized that the vanity in front of him was just a means of expression that evolved from power itself, and this was precisely what Lin Yi had in abundance.
Wasting limited time on this kind of thing seems unreasonable from any perspective.
After thinking it all through, Lin Yi spoke calmly: "I would not say that my actions can be called righteous; rather, in some ways they are the same as what you all know."
If the "disobedient gods" of the native world possess a power that transcends the mysterious, then the "disobedient gods" that Lin Yi brought from the other world possess a power that transcends this world itself. This is something that both the original ancient witch spirit and the desert emperor two days ago have demonstrated.
If these otherworldly deities are allowed to act and wreak havoc at will, the planet itself will not be able to withstand it for long, not to mention that the otherworldly deities that Lin Yi will "summon" will only become stronger and stronger... until the owner of that "purgatory" and "heaven" is found: another "fragment".
In this situation, if it really only involves "destroying the world," it's already quite impressive.
The magician, unaware of what the "godslayer" was thinking, saw a glimmer of hope and quickly pressed, "Great Godslayer, then would you—"
"But I won't stop."
"—!"
Ignoring the magician's almost pleading gaze: "Just as you seek your own interests, I am also searching for my own purpose. It's just that for some reason, your interests happen to be blocking my way. I will not abandon my own purpose to stand on your side, nor will I use any nice excuses to whitewash my actions."
"That's right, I am destroying the world, destroying the very planet you depend on for survival, and I will not stop no matter how high the price you pay."
"No...you can't do this..."
It is said that when people's emotions reach a certain level, they will have two tendencies: one is to explode recklessly, and the other is to give up everything and stop resisting. If possible, Lin Yi would prefer to see the second one, but the magician in front of him chose the first one.
He gave up. Even though the "Demon King" had presented him with the worst possible outcome, he didn't think of resisting. Instead, he accepted it with a wail.
(This is not funny)
Even though there is no listener, the information system still convinces itself of this.
(He simply saw reality clearly and made the most rational judgment.)
“You can stop me, use any means and methods to stop me, and in return, I will destroy everyone who tries to do so, no matter what kind of justice they represent.”
Ignoring the magician, he addressed the people who had left spying marks on the magician in various ways, saying, "If you don't want to die, then resist—even if you still can't escape this destined destruction and death."

Inefficient behavior
"I think so too. If it were the original body, it would probably accept their 'peace agreement' directly, while extracting as much value as possible from them, and then slapping them all to death in the end."
[Highly efficient usage methods]
"But you also know that's something only 'I' would do."
【…】
"I am merely an information entity, formed and brought into this world by 'me,' acting towards the same goal."
