"How hard would it be to simply create Lolitropolis in a pocket dimension or alternate timeline or something?" Degritone asked Chuuni.

"Well, the timeline thing is definitely the purview of a timeline hopper. A pocket dimension, though? Give me a second or four." Chuuni reached out as if going for an object on a nonexistent table near him and his arm disappeared. A few seconds later, a portal began rapidly expanding from where his arm should be, displaying a grassy field on the other side.

"Considering the scale it'd need and how hard that was, maybe 83 or so days. However, I can feel the world not accepting the change in topography. It'll rapidly collapse once I stop focusing on it, meaning all the lolis inside would be crushed if I ever die or even just lose concentration on keeping Lolitropolis existing." To prove his point, Chuuni took a small section of the roof and tossed it into the portal. It shrank just slow enough to barely register as having not just instantly disappeared, along with the section of roof.

"Objects don't have that limitation, at least not one we can test. I'm not going to die for a test. I imagine as a multiverse hopper, I could setup a permanent pseudo-multiverse and connect it to the primary one, but that would require me being a multiverse hopper."

"Speaking" entirely in memory packets, Degritone said, "So, the golems. We're already making them out of cloakium, or whatever we want to call the material of your cloak. Knowing me and my 'temporary,' cloakium is what it will be called forever. Anyway, the only thing we really need to do right at this exact moment is to figure out how to make them all automatically updatable, both their body and their programming.

"Chuuni's making them, so he can basically create the golems to be a perfectly unbiased police force. They can fight and are invincible. They already have 100% accurate truth detectors. The only real gap they have for being a perfect police force is the lack of most life's inbuilt ability to at least attempt to predict the future to prevent crime, primarily because Chuuni is innately limited to be unable to create life.

"However, if any form changes need to be made for whatever reason, we'd need them to be able to be updated. And could we potentially look at what my Swordsman's Territory Skill is doing to see how to predict the future in a System-sanctioned way? Might speed up Chuuni's transition to a timeline hopper as an added bonus," Degritone "said" before activating the Skill.

A ghost image of Chuuni and Music moved around for a few seconds. Eventually, Chuuni stopped moving as he and a purely ghost image version of himself looked at each other, without the actual Chuuni ever moving to its position. After a few seconds of inspecting each other, they pointed at each other and said, "Is that supposed to be me?" Before grinning.

"Ok, yeah, I can probably use this to build a predictive ability into the golems. Not sure how well it really transfers to becoming a timeline hopper. It feels like it's simply taking the current state of all things in range and simply calculating what the most likely future state is, given all quantum weirdness. I wasn't expecting, but was hoping for, the Skill to peer into adjacent timelines that are identical in all ways except the absolute time and overlay the most abundant future.

"Given a few minutes in Flash Space, I was able to figure out how to modify my atoms' quantum waves to have a more likely position of somewhere else, which now that I think about it, can be a decent way to do non-Flash Space instant teleportation, though it probably won't get around the air pressure bomb problem, but then just force my wave function to collapse to an unlikely state that makes the atoms be where I actually want them when their actual positions are calculated."

Degritone deactivated the Skill and looked concerned at Chuuni. "I forgot just how crazy insane even peak time-bound is, and you're not even there yet."

Seigi Shikkou started playing. Degritone laughed as Music transformed into Saitama. "Wha-ha-ha-ha-ha-hat about this moment screams One Punch Man, you weirdo," he said before smiling at the now-Saitama Music, who continued to laze around.

"So, updating the entire police force at once. Would having a master golem work?"

"Nah, that requires every golem to have the same position, as well. Basically just a statue, or an army of very synchronized dancers. We could potentially have a proprietary programming language that controls all the bots. Heck, we could even just have it be in plain text, since I'm making them. Maybe even with an image interpreter for the description so we don't have to actually figure out how to word things."

"Yeah, that could work. It would probably require a bit more literal language than normal text, but it should be easy to edit stuff that way. Go ahead."

Chuuni produced a golem, 15.6 inch monitor, and keyboard, the latter two of which floated in front of him. On the monitor were three sections of text inside a text document: Description, Laws, and Punishments. Chuuni typed "On top of the head rests a circular, conic, yellow, 2 feet tall, 1 foot wide hat" after to the current description. On the golem he just created appeared the described hat.

He created 3 more golems, all of which had the hat. He deleted that section of the description and the had disappeared from all four of them. "That took maybe 32 minutes to figure out perfectly. The basic prototype took like 14 seconds. No bugs should exist anymore."

"It's unlike you to be uncertain about something you've created," Degritone said.

Chuuni responded with, "Yeah, well, this is probably the hardest problem to actually solve at my current power. Another yearish of training and it would have been... well, not trivial, but I would definitely be certain that it's exactly perfect. I don't want to go through even another full 24 hours of isolation, let alone a full year. If I'm powering up, we're all going into Flash Space together."

Degritone waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's fine. I trust you to have made a perfect solution," before holding a hand out.

Chuuni created a very flat ring and floated it over to Degritone, who put it on his finger, fitting it under his class ring. With a nearly-nonexistent amount of concentration, the keyboard and monitor appeared floating in front of Degritone. Another barely-existent amount of concentration later and they disappeared.

As Chuuni began mass producing the golems and distributing them all around the city, Degritone said, "Next order of business is Lolitropolis. Where are we making it? The only real landmass that has a large enough area unpopulated is Antarctica. Another planet or moon could also work, assuming artificial gravity can be sustained over such a large area without the need for Chuuni to exist, beyond creating it. An artificial atmosphere seems like it'd be pretty easy, even without gravity, if we don't stay on Earth. A separate multiverse or timeline would be perfect, but-"

"No," Chuuni said.

"So... We could create a landmass in the middle of an ocean, though that would have massive effects on weather and stuff. Not that that really matters. Putting it in the middle of the pacific would probably be best, since it's basically an entire hemisphere and we could put it a little north of Hawaii. It should be able to fit. Heck, every single loli on the planet could fit in a single city if they wanted to, but some lolis will want to live in the country or in a forest or wherever.

"It'd also give us a nice temperature range to work with without needing to artificially make it hotter of colder, outside of AC. A landmass the size of just Utah would probably be enough, but we could literally fit a contiguous 48 United States-sized landmass in there and still have room for more. That would definitely give us enough room to give lolis whatever accommodations they want.

"We'll also need to make sure we don't throw off the Earth's rotation or the moon's orbit by creating so much mass. I doubt it'd affect the latter too much, and I'm not certain what effect it'd actually have on the Earth's rotation. I'm pretty sure it'd speed it up, but not 100% on that or know by how much. Would you be able to correct that, Chuuni?"

"Mmmm..." He sent a few more golems to where they belonged. "Almost definitely, though it'd take time. Also, deleting enough water to not just flood the whole world when I make the landmass would help counteract that."

"True. I think that's that figured out. So, next order of business, how feasible would it be to give each and every loli on the planet their own guardian?"

Chuuni created three more golems, sent them to their locations around the city, then turned back to Degritone, as he said, "That's finally done. Well, we've very roughly calculated there's a little over 1.2 billion lolis, right? Considering how long it took to make only 5000 golems for this city... Maybe half a year, assuming I don't power up too much and take the occasional break outside Flash Space. That would reduce by roughly 3 percent per day spent powering up, multiplicative.

"56 days of powering up, then 33 days of creating would be the shortest way to do it. Probably a bit more if we want non-Flash teleportation that deals with the air displacement problem."

"Why non-Flash?"

"It can technically be interrupted. So can quantum wave manipulation teleportation, but if someone can do the latter, they can teleport you literally anywhere at any time they want. Flash requires contact, which isn't hard with Flash, anyway, but anyway, it requires contact to Flash someone else. If it wouldn't cause a massive vacuum bomb to go off, I'd show I could teleport you with QWM teleportation without contact.

"If someone who can QWM teleport others shows up, it's basically already game over unless they're similarly powered. However, if you time it right, you can enter Flash Space and stop another person from Super Flashing. We have to assume that Flash is somewhat common, if not the most common Skill at higher levels. Being caught mid-Flash makes them much more vulnerable than if someone has a QWM teleportation-suppressing Skill.

"With the latter, they're still however far from you and the guardian would have time to react. In the former, the enemy would already be attacking the loli and there would be nothing the guardian could do to stop it, unless we gave it the same ability as the Cloak of Infinity to be able to move from its position to between the target and the attack in one Planck time.

"Now that I think about it, maybe it would be fair to keep it as Flash teleportation and just make each guardian have full Cloak properties. Make them out of cloakium and grant them the cloak's pseudo-AI to move to defend their loli. This would up the time of production of each guardian by maybe 7 to 8 percent. Over 1.2 billion lolis, that's a lot of time, though it would be worth it in the long run."

"We can figure out more specific laws once everything's dealt with. As the final bit of business before we go have some fun before leveling up, we should probably figure out a way to quickly and efficiently take over the entire world. With this city being the effective prototype, we now know we need to not have civilians get a class until after the village monster, because that leads to more powerful monsters.

"Mass producing police golems would probably work because good luck to anyone, including their creator, attempting to damage cloakium. With them enforcing our laws, we could literally just sit back and have the whole world 'conquered' in about a year. No one would be capable of resisting our rule. Once we're done here, we might as well do that, actually.

"Well, after Chuuni powers up for the exactly optimal amount of time to lower the overall time required to the minimum. You should probably start on that now, Chuuni, since it's going to take so long. Are you able to do that while having fun with Music?"

He was. After a couple hours and a thoroughly tired Degritone, they decided to have Music and Degritone go clear out the local monsters while they wait for the next village monster to spawn. As they did so, they decided to leave the Monster Nodes alive so the people of the city get the chance to get experience without resorting to murder.

During their time clearing out level 18 monsters, Degritone passed level 20, gaining Sense Lolis lvX. After a little over 3 days of nearly non-stop combat and having cleared out most of the area, an important announcement popped up.

Monster Node broken!

Caihong has broken a Monster Node!

The Monster Node has been turned into a Dungeon.

The location of this Dungeon will be marked on everyone's maps.

Monster spawns near the location of this Dungeon have been disabled.

Monster spawns far away from this Dungeon have been increased in difficulty by an amount proportional to the distance.

Difficulty increase for your area: 729.1%.

Difficulty threshold met!

Due to the monsters in your area having a level over 25, a new level 2 Monster Node has been generated at the closest valid location.

Further increases in local difficulty will increase this new Node's level twice as fast as a normal Monster Node.

Additionally, preexisting Monster Nodes will be set to level 25 and cannot be changed.

During the remaining 2 and a bit days, Degritone surpassed level 30, gaining Lolicon's Fervent Support lv1. By the end of what was mostly Music's rampage through the now higher leveled enemies that Degritone would have each individually taken multiple minutes to take care of on his own, primarily because of his low damage finally having a real impact on his fight times against relevant enemies, Degritone had made it to level 33.

23 seconds before the teenage girl's village monster was to spawn, yet another notification popped up.

A village has been formed within 75 miles of you.

Monster spawns in the area will increase in difficulty by 15%.

"So, what's your deal?" The village leader asked Degritone as they arrived 10 seconds before the village monster spawned.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Why are you showing off?"

Degritone took a few moments to think before answering. "If you mean why Chuuni and Music soloed the other village monsters, it was primarily to show people how strong we are so they don't get the idea to mess with us. I'm nowhere near as strong as those two, and I doubt I could kill one on my own, if you were thinking that it was my turn. No, today, the police golems fight."

As Degritone said "today," a screech rang out from above them. A massive bird swooped down.
