Leon respected the Resident Evil Universe's World Consciousness for its fighting spirit.
He really did.
As the saying went, you had to take a chance to get ahead.
From the moment Leon first met the World Consciousness,
he knew it wasn't afraid to take risks.
So he wasn't surprised when it dragged in another enormous world.
That this world was far larger than the Resident Evil World had become
also seemed perfectly natural to Leon.
And so, when he slapped the World Consciousness away as it cried for help again, that was perfectly reasonable too.
"Damn it. After last time, you still haven't learned to slow down when you lure—no, pull in another universe?"
The neighboring universe the World Consciousness had dragged over was the vast Three-Body Universe.
Merging a world that large was no simple matter.
Under normal circumstances,
the macroscopic and microscopic rules of both universes had to be brought fully into sync.
Only then could it be called a merger.
Otherwise, contact between two radically different universes would end in a catastrophic collision.
When the Resident Evil World had merged with The Wandering Earth,
the Resident Evil World had been so small that the merger was as simple as a droplet dissolving into the sea.
This time, though, both worlds were colossal.
And the World Consciousness was an aggressively reckless mutt.
So the two universes were hurtling toward each other, headed straight for a collision.
Faced with the rapidly approaching Three-Body Universe,
Leon had simply abandoned the idea of merging them.
As it happened, he had recently learned the rules for creating Parallel Worlds from a universe while in the Type-Moon World.
So he tried turning the Three-Body Universe into a Parallel World of the Resident Evil Universe instead.
The first step was to synchronize the rules
