World

Divisions of the world
The world (including every universe and multiverse), is composed of a division of God, the physical world being his body, the ethereal world (for example: souls) being god's soul (or heart, depending on the interpretation), and the sentience of the world(s) and its people his mind.

Lanes in between
The lanes are the space between universes, normally used for inter-universal travel, though they've been put under lock for a long time by now.

The administrator has temporarily allowed a team of hunters to traverse these lanes after Excellion declared an emergency situation due to Lucisfear comeuppance.

Rapture, the true, true explanation
The Rapture is the only real phenomenon and entity of the world and simultaneously the world itself. It originates from the minds of living things, however, as everyone being able to control the phenomenon that makes the world would be absolutely catastrophic, the knowledge, understanding, vision, and control of The Rapture was disabled by Genesis.

Therefore, the world and subsequent universes are the confluence of the thoughts and perception from the mind of every single (and one) being, who are at the same time originating from God's mind.

This means several things:


 * The world isn't physical, or ethereal, it's pure thought, meaning it doesn't have shape or place, and every point of every single universe is the same location.
 * The "Divisions of the world" explanation is still the true explanation, as it is also true according to the composed Rapture.
 * Universes and "reality" only exist when observed and thought of, a place where none exist that none remember isn't a place that exists (this is the reason that Sons of Genesis can lose their race by blending, but can't regain it as they acquire a different origin).
 * The "lanes in between" don't really exist, or rather they only exist when someone is traveling between worlds, as they are necessary for those without knowledge of the Rapture to comprehend reality properly (one could also argue the lanes are the possibility of non-existence, as they are 100% empty).
 * The only idea every single world is subject to is a basic death, as this not being the case would conflict with the future of god's soul and would cause and incredible amount of jank were someone to travel to another world. As such, the idea of death itself has sentience, and it cannot be killed for obvious reasons.
 * If you think about it, the world is essentially god's literal dream

Rapture (ability)
As mentioned, the Rapture is supposed to be a subconscious ability and knowledge under divine lock due to the amount of chaos, nonsense and possibility destruction that making it global knowledge would entail...

However, it is theoretically possible to remove this "lock". How? By asking god of course.

But there's several problems in the way of that

 * The only real way to contact the actual Genesis is to die and have your mind rejoin the collective unconscious (Genesis's mind), and you can't really come back from that.
 * There are special requirements to properly use the Rapture:
 * One must not deny any aspect or possibility of the world, thus one's actions must be born out of overflowing love for every single aspect of the world.
 * One must have a heart of stone in order to accept even those that would oppose their doctrine.
 * One must have the overflowing ambition and willpower necessary to (subconsciously) create infinite possibilities and differentiate oneself.
 * One must have every action born of them to originate from selfless kindness.


 * Failure to comply any of the above will result in self-destruct erasure from the user (though in theory what would happen is the erasure of some disliked part of the world, but you are mad if you think Genesis is going to sit and watch you do that)

The very few users
For a yet unknown reason, Genesis saw it fit to remove the lock from two people, those being The Composer and Excellion (only Excellion, not the people he's made of). The former one's lock was removed after-birth, but the latter's was removed on birth.

Sho Minamimoto can also use the Rapture for some reason.

Kuon was born with only half his lock due to being an entity born off Excellion's true identity, which the world has never known and thus does not exist, who is a being that lives outside of the laws of Genesis. He later broke the other half manually by, and I quote, punching Genesis in the face while dead.

Lucisfear can utilize a black variant of the Rapture for reasons unknown.

There exists one more user, but he died after having lived for "twenty-four years, nine months, five days, seventeen hours, three minutes, and fifty-one seconds" according to them.
