Thoughts on Reincarnated as slime MTL statement from vol23

So people bring the line from vol23 MTL to says how big the verse
"Swimu originally swims between the stars of different worlds, vaster than thousands of universes. Their maximum battle speed reaches sublight speed, and they are a natural disaster that has destroyed countless interstellar nations by leaping through space via Otherworld Gates that they generate as easily as breathing". Page 57

As you can see using this MTL they claim that in this cosmology "Star" > 1000s of universes.
But here my 2 cent on this MTL.
1- "swim" here refers to traveling between worlds in different solar system which is done through otherworld gates.
2- "swims between the stars of different worlds" defined a solar system
3- Vaster than thousand of universes is MTL strike again for maybe "Vaster than thousand worlds/planets" as stars can be 1000s of time bigger than planet.
4- Maximum battle speed reaches sublight speed.
5- Intersteller nations(Interstellar nation control star systems within one galaxy) so only one galaxy for all those nations to work on. As its not inter-galactic.

What I think the text is trying to say that they were fighting at sub-light speed and used Otherworld gates to move to different world orbiting different stars and while fighting at sub-light speed they destroyed nations on those world.


Made clear from this text
"An Otherworld Gate is a type of Spatial Transportation Gate, intended for ultra-long distance travel on a cosmic scale. By setting these up in various places, Swimu can easily travel back and forth between locations it has visited once. In terms of existence alone, Swimu is comparable to a Dragon Species. Its massive size reaches 2,000 meters even under normal circumstances, and it can grow even larger if it desires. Its speed and destructive power alone make it unparalleled in ferocity, an existence that transcends the concept of individual combat".

"Although its body size can be freely changed, it is easy to see with a little thought that it is not suited to activity on land. This remains true even in a vast, fundamental world. Still, if "Mama" calls, it has no choice. Excited by this first experience, Swimu manifested on Earth. It thought it had grown to a size suitable for movement on the ground, but it seems it was still too huge. After adjusting its size a bit, it was able to move around comfortably."

The distance to the enemy is so short that it would normally be impossible to reach top speed. However, Swimu is different. It reaches sub-light speed from the start, trampling and overrunning any enemy it comes into contact with. It's the same this time. Like countless interstellar nations, this planet was bound to transform into a land of death."

oh nvm this is general discussion lol
Still an extremely lackluster one, tackling something banned on the wiki and used by some people off-site, relying on "this probably means that" and genuinely looks like an attempt to portray supporters in a bad light

What lol
 
Do You want me to upload a MTL LN in drive or what? I read it on scribd
Dude, i wanted you to at least explain what is this general discussion even for
Just want to know people opinion if they have read the orginal source in Japanease and if they can post the scan that be great.
Okay, you could have just asked in the Tnesura general discussion but whatever. Anyway, here is my opinion: it's a pretty orrible translated mtl
 
I would prefer original Japanese screenshot from LN if possible untouched by the hands of interpretation lol.

This translation has been confirmed by a translator guy here, but not the TL Helpers tho. So not yet usable
スイームは本来、数多(あまた)の宇宙を含めたよりも広大な異界の星間を泳ぐ。その最大戦速度は亜光速に達し、息をするように発生させられる〝異界門〟を通じて空間を跳躍する事で、無数の星間国家を滅ぼしている天災そのものだ。〝異界門〟とは〝転移門〟の一種で、宇宙単位での超長距離移動を目的とした空間転移である。

Suiimu originally swims through the interstellar space of a vast otherworld, even more expansive than a realm that contains countless universes.
Its maximum combat speed reaches sub-light speed, and by leaping through space through Otherworld Gates, which are generated as naturally as breathing, it has annihilated innumerable interstellar nations, being nothing other than a natural disaster itself.
An Otherworld Gate is a type of Transfer Gate, a spatial transfer intended for ultra-long-distance movement on a universe-scale.

Doesnt make any sense look like chat gpt translation and no proof to confrim the orginal japanese text. From all the lightnovel 1-22 nothing indicate otherworld being universe size more so indicate them being as planetary. And some otherworld being bigger than the other just as do planets. There is a reason why intersteller space and nation were mentioned which mean travelling between solar system through otherworld gates. And otherworld gate allow travel on cosmic or universal scale in both the translation.
To break that translation down
1-Otherworld containing countless universes
2-Travelling through these otherworld is intersteller space travelling doesnt make any sense if otherworld is countless time bigger than universes.
3-The maximum speed is only sub-light speed and sub light destroy the intersteller nation on these otherworld again this make zero sense considering sub-light speed can be anything from any more than zero to a tab bit lower than light speed. You cant even do inter planetary travel with this level of speed. Much less destroying inter- steller nation which as per this translation is bigger than countless universes in otherworld.
4-This more so suggest they were travelling between planets in different solar system as they move through these otherworld through otherworld gates.
5-Otherworld gates is mentioned to be transfer gate or teleportation gate which allow travel on universal scale not between universes.
Bruh....
One of the otherworld is basically earth in which Velgrynd travel to find shatter peice of Rudra soul. You cant just say that 21st century earth look alike place is universal in size or bigger. Then how big are the human on that universal+ earth. It has its own star if earth is universal or bigger than that star is millions of time bigger than universal+ earth. Doesnt make any sense at all.

This has already been debated on a staff thread and proved wrong.

Just to say but a universe being bigger than another doesn't meen than the things in it are bigger. Also noone is saying anything about 21st century or the world where Velgrynd went, that is just you putting things thogather without any logic.

That was also one of the otherwrold. The otherworld are planets thats what I am saying.
