Understanding of the Constrained World by Super-Spacetime Amataro and the Problem of Mugen's Degradation

Then, a reply came immediately from Super-Spacetime Amataro.

I understand. I will arrange it as such. But, Mugen-san, isn't the specification that allows for remote control of experiences a problem that isn't limited to just the spiritual existence tribes?

And so on.

What do you mean? Mugen asked back.

Then,

Well, you see. Mugen-san, it seems that the remote control of experiences in the constrained world is something that is being unconsciously triggered in the daily lives of the human tribes as well.

Super-Spacetime Amataro said such a thing.

It seems he had looked up the hidden circumstances of the constrained world in an instant at the Super-Spacetime Experience Library.

I don't really understand. Explain it more properly.

Yes. In other words, in the constrained world, the laws have become such that the effects of affirmation and negation using the power of free will almost automatically exert positive or negative influences on the experiences of others.

Look, in the constrained world, it is said that it is important for everyone to be grateful, right?

That seems to be a value system born because it is a system where the free will of those experiencing things exerts a positive or negative influence on the experience state of the other party.

If everyone affirms each other, you can spend your time pleasantly... it's something like that, isn't it?

However, because the law of the automatic activation system of experience-manipulating influence by the power of the free will of such mutual souls was granted to the constrained world groups, teachings and values that one should be grateful even to those who do bad things have finally emerged, and it seems the world has become increasingly ethically strange. It seems that even villains have appeared who think that they can use any means necessary to make everyone praise, respect, and be grateful to them.

If they did that, it would be too obvious and they would be found out, so it's like, regardless of whether the other party is good or evil, just be grateful for everything and that's fine... Even though they are being treated very cruelly, there are quite a few souls in the constrained world who are made to think things like, thank you for giving me the trial of misfortune and suffering... As a result, it seems to have become a convenient value system for the villains.

But please rest assured, Mugen-san. In my new world, I have made it a basic specification that such free will does not exert any influence on the experiences of others in the first place.

However, even so, if you truly wish to affirm each other, negate each other, or have experiences where you exert the influence of the will of affirmation and negation on each other just like in the constrained world, I have made it so that such experiences can also be selected as an option if an agreement with the other party is reached.

So, if you really want to have the experience of being grateful to each other or hating each other, I have made it so that you can enjoy it to your heart's content after taking safety into consideration and passing a tolerance check, so you don't need to worry.

Super-Spacetime Amataro explained it gleefully.

Mugen thinks once again that Amataro has grown up.

I have long since surpassed you in understanding, even more than Mugen.

And then I answer.

"I see, I see, so you had already incorporated such a design without any loopholes... In that case, it seems I won't have to suffer through the pain of separation from loved ones or the pain of meeting those one hates..."

"Yes. Because the power of free will can become violence if used incorrectly, just like a pistol or a fist, I have disabled all types of powers that influence another's experience without their consent."

"But, if I wanted to experience something like mutual love, I could still experience that, right?"

"That is, of course, possible. Though only if mutual consent is definitely established."

"Well, I suppose that's true... Otherwise, the souls in the constrained world would definitely complain."

"I haven't overlooked that point. Especially for wonderful types of experiences, I have made it so that everything can be chosen freely, and as for the experience of mutual love, I have made it so that you can choose from all sorts of mutual love experiences as an experience itself, even without a partner."

"That's true... That's the amazing part, but somehow the souls in the constrained world don't react very positively to it."

"Well, wouldn't they understand if they tried it? Besides, if you don't want to have an experience using such an experience itself, naturally, you don't have to force yourself to experience it, so there's no need to worry."

"No, no, if that's the case, it feels like the number of souls wanting to go to your new world won't increase, but are you okay with that?"

"It's fine, they don't have to come to my new world no matter what. I just think it's enough if they remember it when they get tired of the constrained world."

"In that case, well, yeah... It makes me feel relieved since I don't have to force myself to promote it, but are you really okay with that?"

"It's fine. There's no point in forcing it, is there? Or rather, if I force it, it wouldn't be helping them anymore, and that would be meaningless, wouldn't it?"

"Is that so? Man, if only you had told me that at the beginning. You said you wanted to save everyone in the constrained world, so I was worried that I had to do something about it. As a result, I've been treated with caution and even had my experiences remotely manipulated..."

"Oh! ...Is that so, Mugen-san, I'm sorry. You only need to promote it within a range that isn't burdensome, so please don't push yourself. But, for someone like you, Mugen-san, to have your experiences remotely manipulated?"

"That's the thing... You see, I wanted to see worlds here and there, so I increased my avatars too much... You know, right? That I degrade if I split myself too much. So, my avatar for the constrained world has also degraded, and it's being affected in various ways."

"How many avatars did you increase?"

"Well, infinitely..."

"Isn't that, as expected, increasing them too much?"

Well, you see... the super-dimensional world has evolved so explosively that the rate at which new worlds are born has surpassed the speed at which I can generate my own avatars... I mean, when a new world is born, you naturally want to go and taste it for yourself, right?

Wouldn't it be better to just enjoy it in moderation instead of forcing yourself to keep up with such explosive evolution?

Well, I suppose you're right... when you put it that way, it makes sense, but I still can't help but be curious.

That won't do. Mugen, according to my predictions, if you keep pushing forward like this, you'll degrade so much that you might even lose your normal judgment.

Is that so? Maybe I've already started to lose it... I was even told by an omniscient being that I'm half-puppet...

In that case, you can integrate my avatars.

Really? Is that okay?

Well, as long as you promise not to increase the number of your avatars any further.

Wait? There's a restriction like that?

Because if you degrade too much, Mugen, there's a possibility that you won't be able to handle public relations anymore.

I guess I'm not really trusted, huh?

Well, you're already degrading, after all.

I can't help it, I guess. Fine, I understand. I'll integrate your avatars and we can have some fun together.

What is that? What do you mean?

Well, I don't really know what it is, but hey, does that really matter?

Seeing Mugen like that, Amataro felt worried and diligently sent his own avatars to Mugen until he recovered to a certain extent.
