It was precisely because the qliphoth was constructed, and under the influence of this 'intangible' worldview, that Beast Emperor 666 could reach the level of the Three Evil Gods.
But this worldview remained intangible. Not only did it appear that way to others, but from the perspective of Rias, and even from the perspective of the 'world,' the qliphoth had not been completed.
Because... "I see, it lacks a vessel."
Instantly, Rias understood the reason.
This world has a kabbalah tree of life.
Located in the Fourth Heaven of the Celestial Realm, within the Garden of Eden, there are two trees.
The Tree of life and the tree of wisdom.
Among them, the Tree of life is the kabbalah tree of life.
The tree of wisdom is also known as the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, referred to as the Forbidden Fruit in Biblical mythology.
After the death of the God of the Bible, these two trees no longer bore fruit.
However—
Fruits preserved in advance were naturally a different matter.
In the deepest part of Purgatory, there is a passage leading to the Netherworld.
The Mother of Demons, Lilith, hid two fruits there.
In the information obtained from soul-searching, Rias saw this woman proudly boasting to her son.
Saying she secretly hid the fruits when God wasn't paying attention.
By now, the fruits should have dried out.
But their concept and essence remain; as long as the Law of life is used, they can be 'revived.'
Incidentally, Rias's mastery of the concept of 'life' is derived from the Holy Grail.
The Tree of life is the kabbalah tree of life itself, while the fruit is the essence of the kabbalah tree of life.
By understanding the concepts within, Rias herself could create a similar tree.
Thinking of this, Rias looked at the Beast Emperor and said, "Go play with your sisters. I have some things to do."
"Can we attack the Underworld?"
The Beast Emperor's eyes lit up, radiating a terrifying chill.
Despite being so beautiful, like an elegant and perfect princess, incredibly innocent and pure, she evoked the most primal fear.
"Hmm... if you can do it without attracting others' attention."
Rias thought for a moment and said.
When Rias created them, she implanted basic common sense and her general expectations into their minds.
That's why they knew what Rias wanted to do and worked towards that goal.
It should be said, as expected of Great Demons corresponding to the Ten Evils.
Even though Rias had done her utmost to perfect their lives, enabling them to harness the sephira of the Evil Tree themselves.
Even so, they were still influenced by the demonic nature of their essence.
"Yahoo, that's awesome~"
The girl cheered gleefully, her eyes filled with the joy of destruction.
Presenting the The End to the Underworld—this was a very fitting act for the Beast Emperor.
After giving a few instructions, Rias left.
In the deepest part of Hell, there is a path leading to Purgatory.
And Purgatory is located in the Celestial Realm.
After death, believers of the Biblical Pantheon first arrive at Limbo and Purgatory.
Limbo and Purgatory—collectively referred to as 'Sheol' within the Church—
are places prepared for the deceased with special circumstances. After purifying their body and mind, those who arrive at these two places are permitted to enter Heaven.
It is said that Limbo and Purgatory were created by the God of the Bible in imitation of Hell.
This passage is very well hidden, but it couldn't stump Rias.
Actually, Rias could also forcibly invade the Celestial Realm using Heavenly Transfer, but it might cause a bit of commotion and be detected.
So, Rias still entered the Celestial Realm through the passage.
However, having been here once, Rias was confident she could construct her own passage.
Soon, Rias found the two fruits hidden in Lilith's memory within this passage.
The Fruit of Life and the Fruit of Wisdom.
The Fruit of Life contains the essence of the Law of life; its concept is on par with the Holy Grail.
The Fruit of Wisdom contains the concept of Wisdom, a powerful tool capable of enlightening all things.
If the two are combined, even a desolate and harsh planet could give birth to life adapted to its environment.
This is the true authority of create, the true domain of 'life.'
If the kabbalah tree of life creates a world from nothing, the fruit creates life from the world.
"Although I have already stepped into this domain..."
Rias used the Holy Grail to revive the two dried fruits, her eyes becoming profound.
Concepts contain laws and rules.
Cultivating concepts means cultivating laws and rules.
Whether it's the gods marrow from No Game No Life or the magical characteristics of this world, these are all part of laws and rules.
Forming a complete concept is an important component of reaching the Dragon God Level.
And Rias does not possess many complete concepts.
Destruction, create, Omnipotence, life, dream, Space, The End, Dragon Slayer.
Among them, Destruction has already condensed into a fragment of Power—something that requires at least two complete 'Destruction' concepts and over a million fragmented concepts combined to achieve.
The remaining The End was obtained from Beast Emperor 666, and Dragon Slayer was obtained from Samael.
dream was obtained from the Great Red; Omnipotence is a domain shared with the God of the Bible.
After all, she belongs to the Biblical Pantheon, and with similar systems, she can glean much information that others cannot.
Space is a concept condensed from her own research, based on the Flugel.
life comes from the Holy Grail and the Hōgyoku; create has a broader scope—the core Magic Formula of the Flugel, the Holy Grail, the Hōgyoku, magical device technology, etc... Among them, only 'Destruction' has been studied since the mystery of the womb, delving deeper than the other concepts.
"Although the kabbalah tree of life is not fully complete, a small portion of the concepts within the two fruits are ones I haven't touched. If I absorb them, I might be able to progress further towards Omnipotence."
Rias murmured, then the Power of Destruction surged, destroying the two fruits.
The concepts within coiled around Rias, slowly absorbed by her, and then condensed into new concepts within her essence.
After a long time, Rias slowly opened her eyes.
Her profound eyes shimmered with the light of wisdom.
"The stronger I become, the more I realize the vastness of the world, and the more I feel my own powerlessness."
Rias murmured.
Perception is vision; one's own vision is naturally larger than the Space one occupies.
Yes, this is a matter of course for Rias.
But for the Great Red and Ophis, the Space they occupy is as vast as their vision, and this is also a matter of course for them.
To this, Rias could only say they have blind spots. Compared to the affairs of others, one's own matters are more worthy of attention.
What truly worried her was that Rias was walking the path of Omnipotence.
Not the Omnipotence of the God of the Bible, nor the concept that splits from 'Infinite' to 'Finite' like Ophis.
But a pure Omnipotence encompassing all domains.
In other words, an Omnipotence above that of the God of the Bible.
At this rate, let alone constructing a worldview, simply reaching her own limits would be an extremely difficult task.
Perhaps precisely because constructing a worldview benefits strengthening oneself, that's why Pantheons exist?
