Clayman Revenge Theory-Imaginary World Inner Theory and how it may end!

This is a theory I have been ruminating on for some time and now its time for me to get it out there. We have all wondered about the nature of Clayman Revenge's world. Is it some kind of alt timeline? A non canon what if? An illusion world made by Ciel for him? I have finally come up with a theory I think will satisfy! Credit to R.E for some parts of this theory. >!We have found that in vol 23 of Tensei, that fragments of Clayman still remain within Rimuru's Imaginary space, we have also heard that Ciel seems to have done something in relation to Clayman repenting which is what Rimuru desired. I think that CR Clayman's world is taking place in Rimuru's IS (Imaginary space) as a kind of virtual info world. (R.E propsed this idea, based on the info world Hinata and Chloe experienced as well as the isekai memories bad ending timeline made be reverse fate) Now this theory isn't entirely new as it has already been suggested before when CR was still new, but I have an new layer on this that reveals the potential ending of the story as well as the ultimate fate of Clayman and his friends. A big reason against this theory is that fact it would seemly make CR's story pointless as even if Clayman is revived from this world all his friends would be fake. But that's when it hit me! Rimuru in vol 21 is capable of making worlds within IS. I learn the primary hypothesis on from R.E that Rimuru simple can make a world inside IS as it is infinite size, from there both him and Ciel would have perfect control over the rules and laws in it allowing them to make a perfect recreation of the virtual world that Clayman may be in. While we haven't seen this happen, I believe some time after vol 23, ciel makes fully use of world creation she learn to make a full on world within IS, similar to what she proposed Rimuru could do in vol 21. This would mean at some point CR's world could have started out fully virtual and later have been changed to a real world the exist in IS. Now you might ask what does that have to do with the ending of CR? Well I believe that it has to do with Clayman's repentance and his chance of redemption. I believe the end of CR will involve Clayman going though the same pain Rimuru had at losing his friends to the plots of others, essentially getting him to feel the same pain and repent for the pain he has caused others. Of course because I doubt Rimuru is that cruel Clayman won't truly lose his friends forever, rather, he will believe he has for a bit before they are restored. Basically, once Clayman has proved he has fully changed as a person, repented of his old ways and proved he is not a threat to Rimuru or his friends, he will have passed the trial and be revive in the OG world. However, I have a feeling he might not want to... I have a feeling Clayman might choose to remain with the people he grew to care about in the IS world. Wether or not Rimuru decided to move those people along with Clayman to the main world will be unknown for now, or for how Clayman will pass the test exactly is also unknown but this is my overall theory for the nature of CR's world and how the story might end.!<
