Except it is? The Tier Magic system is literally just Yggdrasil’s game code made real. It would be easy for a Type 4 civilization, which can manipulate laws, tamper with the very fabric of space time, and control their entire universe, to easily tamper with said system and create their own if they wished.

And saying that you can call anything game code because I’m calling a specific thing that WAS actually game code well, game code, is a huge leap of logic lol. You can’t apply one factor to everything just because one thing has that factor. Though I guess the Universe might as well just actually be Game Code or a Simulation for Type IV. I have no doubt they’d be able to destroy their entire universe if they wanted to.

Comparisons between Type 4 and Type 5 are pointless. Remember that we are just ants trying to understand the difference between a tank and an airplane relative to them. They both have reality bending technology and can do whatever they want with their universes; who are we to decide who would win over the other just because they can both tamper with code?
