God Simulator: The Goddesses In The Simulation Are All Real

Magical girls and mecha drivers who had died in battle blinked in confusion, their eyes widening as they took in their surroundings. Their bodies, once broken or bloodied, were now as pristine as the day they had first stepped onto the battlefield.

Some still wore the expressions of their last fight, but all were filled with newfound energy, and the lingering marks of death were erased, leaving only the promise of a second chance.

Others who had perished under the Outer God's cruel rule appeared just as suddenly, their once-enslaved souls now free. They rose with a deep, quiet strength, their fears and suffering evaporating in an instant.

The dark influence that had chained them to a life of torment was gone, and in its place was pure, untainted vitality.

Linsley's voice resonated once more, clear and filled with a quiet reverence. {To each of you who sacrificed and suffered, you are now reborn in a world that belongs to you.}

In towns and cities, families, friends, and loved ones stood in stunned silence as those they thought lost forever reappeared before them.

Disbelief quickly gave way to jubilation, as joyous reunions filled the air. Tears streamed down faces, but this time they were tears of relief, of joy, of gratitude.

The revered fighters of the Resistance—the magical girls and mecha drivers—found themselves surrounded by grateful citizens, embraced by those they had risked everything to protect.

The people of Terra, once fractured by loss, now felt a newfound wholeness, their hearts united in joy and gratitude.

With the miraculous resurrection complete, Linsley's heart swelled with the final task at hand.

He stretched out his hand toward the world, his voice booming through the minds of all who remained. {But I will do more than restore life. I will heal what was broken. Whether your bodies have suffered or your spirits have been torn, I will see to your healing. No one shall carry the scars of the past any longer.}

As his words echoed, Linsley waved his hand, summoning countless pillars of golden light that descended from the sky, stretching across every corner of Terra.

These radiant beams illuminated the land, bathing all who had suffered in a profound, soothing warmth. Pain and weariness dissolved; battle-scarred limbs were mended, shattered bones knit together, and weary hearts found peace once more.

The golden light touched even the deepest wounds, the emotional scars that had lingered long after the Outer God's rule.

The trauma of fear, oppression, and loss melted away, leaving behind a people filled with hope and strength. A sense of calm filled the air, and the entire world seemed to exhale, as though it too had been healed.

Linsley knew that some of those he resurrected had endured unspeakable horrors, defiled or corrupted by the Outer God's lackeys. He realized that, for some, the trauma was so severe they might have preferred death over living with those scars.

To spare them from this pain, Linsley bypassed the need for rehabilitation, using his Divinity of Purification combined with his Real Fantasy gift to cleanse them entirely.

In an instant, his divine light erased all traces of corruption, purifying both body and soul so that they could begin their new lives free from the past.

Linsley's voice reverberated once again, firm and compassionate. {"This is your world now. Free, healed, and whole. Together, we will build a future worthy of the sacrifices made. Terra is yours to shape, and I, as your World God, will be here to guide you."}

As the Voice of The World faded, the golden light continued to shimmer across the land, a lasting reminder of the miracle that had just transpired.

An overwhelming peace settled over Terra, like a blanket, soft and comforting.

The pain of the past had been erased, and the people, now healed and whole, were free to step into the future Linsley had promised.

Whether Linsley truly meant what he said depended on whether humanity would mess things up or not.

After all, when there was a foreign threat, humanity could easily set aside its differences to fight a greater evil. But without an external enemy, they often slipped back into internal conflict.

Fortunately, the most powerful force in Terra was the Avatar Syndicate, and Linsley had already given them secret orders to start taking over the roles once managed by the Outer God Association.

The organization he'd established had proven invaluable, especially since Terra was already unified under the Outer God Association's rule. All that was left was to occupy the vacant positions of authority left by the Outer God's regime.

Nearly all avatar masters within the Avatar Syndicate had signed Soul Contracts with Linsley. While some weaker ones hadn't, all the powerhouses and key decision-makers were bound as his subordinates.

'With the Avatar Syndicate, I can control Terra by having avatar masters take over the world. I don't have to worry about corruption and other political nonsense since everyone governing is under my command.'

'From another perspective, Terra isn't exactly free; I've essentially replaced the Outer God. But at least I won't enslave humanity. There have always been rulers in human history, anyway, and it would be better if the world is unified under my rule. That way, we'll avoid wars and all that nonsense.'

Linsley had no intention of letting those same politicians regain control over their countries. They had already messed up enough before the Outer God enslaved humanity, so there was no point in restoring the world to the way it was with those corrupt fools in charge.

Letting humans govern humanity had already proven to be a bad decision throughout history.

After all, the only lesson humanity could learn from history was that humanity would never learn any lessons. History might not repeat itself exactly, but it often rhymed.

Faced with the problem of how to ensure humanity's future stability, Linsley knew the solution was simple: let a god like himself take control.

Although he had once been human, that very experience made him acutely aware of the inherent flaws in human nature.

After addressing the aftermath of the Outer God's death and the destruction of the Outer God Association, Linsley thought to himself, "Now that everything is finally on the right track, it's time to return to the villa and spend some time with Seraphina."
