"Am I… Am I being left behind?" asked the hero.
The voice belonged to Hiroshi, to Bouichirou, to Kento, and to the storyteller.
"Yes. As I said before, you will remain," replied the Law of Identity.
She appeared to be a god of salvation, but she was also a cruel god.
"Why!?" he shouted bitterly.
He had half expected this, but he had hoped there would be salvation for him as well.
But there was not.
"You must remain here to leave the story here. That way the next souls can continue on as well."
He found that hard to believe and shook his head.
"But that's too cruel!"
"I am aware it is cruel. That cruelty can be felt through the story. You will simply be starting over from the beginning. In the next instant, you will be in an Empty Universe, followed by a Formless Universe, and then it will shift to a Gravity Universe. That will likely take tens of thousands of years."
"Please stop! I have to redo the story?"
"Because of who you are, that is unavoidable."
"Because of who I am? I can't escape that!"
"That is what it means to be the Law of Identity."
"I will be the Law of Identity?"
"You are the next Law of Identity. If you are to be saved, it will be when you act as the Law of Identity and successfully guide the new personalities. The story will be trapped by gravity, so you must guide it toward lightness."
"But that's so sad. I have to part ways with everyone?"
"Even sadness will be outdated and obsolete under the story that will take effect in the next instant. You will not be parting ways with everyone. There must have been souls other than yours that were not saved by this story of the Demon King in the Very Back, so if you become the next Law of Identity, you will not be alone."
That conversation occurred in the smallest unit of time, but there was no concept of time for the hero once he was within the Empty Universe that contained his mind.
He thought for eternity.
He thought of nonsense as nonsense.
Who could prove that he was sane?
In the ending of the Light Novel, The hero " Hiroshi, Bouichirou, Kento, the storyteller." was going to eventually ascend the hierarchy and become the next TLOI, since a tier 0 really cant be replaced in a verse this would remove the possbility of her being tier 0. I.e just High 1-A
When he realized the Law of Identity had to know what he had done in the afterlife, he began sweating. She was likely referring to what had occurred between him, Junko, Fujiko, and Yoshie.
"Um…well…about that…"
He grew flustered, but she started laughing.
"But I forgive you." She held his hand. "We'll be together forever now, right?"
"Not even I know what our life will be like from now on."
^Self explanatory
"Do we have to perform the ritual to create a void body?" asked Akuto.
"It seems so. I don't know the details, but it basically means we'll get married for real."
Again.
It was data made of imaginary numbers.
It was space with no time.
It was a place where the laws of physics came to an end.
It was beyond causality.
It was casting aside one's earthly form.
It was the salvation of all.
Keena took Akuto's hand.
For his transformation in the negative direction, all of the noisy souls inside him were transferred into her.
Countless voices filled the space between them.
Countless thoughts were there: Junko's, Yoshie's, Fujiko's, Lily's, women's, and men's.
"What does it feel like to be saved?"
"I've never experienced it, so I wouldn't know. Well, we'll know soon enough."
"It must feel like binding with Akuto-sama on the most fundamental level!"
"You've lived a carefree life, haven't you? Personally, I guess it doesn't really matter."
"President, you need to be more honest with your desires, arinsu."
"Like hunger, gya."
"Guga."
"More importantly, will our desire for prestige be fulfilled there?"
"Is hem-hem all you can think of when you hear the word salvation? You sure are savages!"
"Quiet, you black savage! Also, the student council president is the carefree one!"
"I'd rather you called it being relaxed. More importantly, there's a few more people who haven't shown up, right?"
"Apparently they won't show up if the storyteller has forgotten about them."
"That's about the most basic meta comment I've ever heard. Are you sure we should be doing that?'
The entire nature of the Void body is that, TLOI and his other Girlfriends basically merge with Akuto Sai, they ascend above the hierarchy and become a universe like the other gods.
I thought I heard a sound from within my brain. I clearly understood how to carry out my duty. The demon king had made this world and I had to guide the demon king and those depressed thoughts toward "lightness".
I quickly realized how to do that.
It had to be possible for the Law of Identity to access this world. The blonde Keena's attempts to stop the demon king made that clear. The Law of Identity desired a proper ending to the story, so I would show her that the story had been eliminated.
Given the structure of the world, she would have been hiding without the demon king's knowledge. The demon king was a universal being who had constructed this world, but the self-identity needed to form a story had to have been created. In other words, the Law of Identity had to exist as a character. Nevertheless, the demon king had not noticed her in this world. He likely assumed she would not be present because Keena was asleep.
Self explanatory (I will explain it in the comments if needed)
So in conclusion she should be high 1-A, possibly even 1-A depending on how you view these limitations.
