>Reinhard directly erased Methuselah from Mercurius's law (through Machina's power
[1]
You do know that he didn't throw the spear at Methu, right? IIRC the propierties of the spear like it's all ending power, undodgeable nature and always faster than you is when it get's thrown.
Second, Machina can't do that of "purging old law and creating a new world
[2] it in contex was erasing Methuselah from Mercurius's law and reshaping it without Darkness as a abstraction) ", we see how if Machina ever punched Methu the whole world would have crumbled and be destroyed as nothing can exist without Darkness (as in a conceptual level).
This is a Rein thing completly as he overwrites Merc Law (as little as it is) with a new law.
>and it stated Machina is capable of doing same thing and erasing Methuselah too
[3]
You are either ignoring the other part where Methu says that if hit the darkness would crumble along with the world and everything would gone poof, Machina ERASES things, not creates new ones or reshapes reality.
His Briah is ending all things, if it exist it obviously has history and Machina forcibly makes it end.
>it also stated Methuselah was keeping some weigh of Mercurius's law
[1] so erasing him was same as erasing a part of law.
This is the reason people say Methuselah is the closest one in nature to it's father, because of the stupid levels of will power to keep going despite Merc growing bored of life and thus letting all the other Gods die
>also this scan directly is talking about Mercurius's law
[2]
The whole thing of DI is compared to an opera where Merc does "write" the plot to keep things going, this isn't something literal, it is more of "I have the rights to end you" as they have a close relation for having half a soul of the other.
It also is because if Ren dies the substitute does and Merc will face his apoptosis again thus taking his opera out of whatever way he wanted.
>about Ren thing Ren also considered himself as Portagonist of a story too
[3]
Jabs and winks at the readers are good for a good ending but how is that proof that he somehow found out he is a character in a novel?
This one is not meant to be taken literally, heck, Shirou does the same thing all the time because he considers himself the protagonist of his own life and others the side characters, same with Ren.
