Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 459
by Jessie@AFNCC
Where promises intersect (1)
The sea is extremely calm.
In the void where not even the sound of the wind can be heard only Gyebaek’s dark moans occasionally resound.
From the faintly shining star clusters beyond the dark sea to the shapes of countless galaxy clusters shining from further away.
Lennok who tuned into Gyebaek’s consciousness was able to clearly perceive the miracle and the end which cannot even be properly perceived by human senses.
In an unconscious moment the fire that suddenly broke out on the other side of the sea disappears like a flash and the residue of magical power in the form of slime floats stickily.
A huge tree trunk that takes root among the stars absorbs nutrients and breathes constantly.
The remains of a giant crouched with countless meteorites ringing around it glaring at the sea from beyond the void.
Huge wings resembling stingrays flap and absorb the hot wind of the star and a satellite made of huge eyes orbits and sees passing stars.
Black thunderbolts and blue prominences roll over like waves and countless lives and consciousness merge divide disappear and are only created again.
If he were an ordinary human being he would have gone crazy the moment he encountered any phenomenon.
“….”
The scenery of the open sea that I encountered for the first time in my life.
None of them clearly showed their true nature but just by encountering their fragments Lennok was able to vaguely understand what kind of being they were.
Each and every one of them has a strange apocalyptic feel to it from a human perspective but in this dark sea each moment is nothing more than a fleeting afterimage.
Monsters that exist outside the open sea transcending the cycle of cause and effect are no longer bound by the laws of creation and extinction.
Even the endless repetition of self-birth extinction and rebirth was nothing more than a light whim that occurred in the return of unconsciousness.
Why did the Guido Church call them gods and worship them? Why did such a fanatical religion become the greatest religion on the continent?
Lennok who was now looking out into the open sea using Gyebaek’s consciousness understood.
Why do the apostles who were born as incarnations of God’s power fall into madness and become monsters?
The laws of the human world of coexistence and the logic of the law of the fittest and survival of the fittest have no meaning to them.
They are just wandering around looking for something to satisfy their desires amidst immeasurable freedom and hunger.
And it was as obvious as seeing fire that one of the destinations of that wandering and agony was this world.
However even after seeing a scene that strongly hinted at the ending more than anything else the first emotion that came to Lennok’s mind was not fear but closer to admiration.
‘It’s beautiful.’
By simply looking at and observing the seascape over and over again Lennok’s inner self is filled with endless spirituality and intuition.

Just by looking down from a place much higher than Lennox and observing and recognizing the fragments passing by as if mocking the horizon of thought is rapidly expanding.
I feel like I could look at this sea forever and be filled with strange and great ideas and inspiration.
However Lennok forced himself to ignore the powerful impulse that rose up from a corner of his mind and regained consciousness.
It is dangerous to go any further than this.
Right now I am just looking out to the open sea in sync with Gyebaek’s consciousness.
I had to stay alert so I could escape quickly if the situation arises.
‘The view…’
I wanted to turn my gaze and look back at the well that Gyebaek escaped from and the shape of the star but Gyebaek did not turn his consciousness back.
It was just moving faithfully according to the final Geass that was driven into its body and activated through a stake.
Only then did Lennok realize that Gyebaek had not changed at all even after running out into the open sea.
The memory of Aurel Silford that he had just recalled was merely a by-product of the process of sharing Lennok’s sense of enlightenment.
The real Aurel Silford’s essence has already disappeared and only the fragments remain like residue lingering around the body.
‘…The only chance is now.’
There were so many strange things about this operation no matter how many times I thought about it and Gyebaek’s presence was by far the most strange of them all.
The crazy monster that had been digging into the sea near the coastline of the continent because there was no way to control it was suddenly not only dragged up to the sea but also made it run in a straight line to the well.
There was even a series of measures that allowed Gyebaek to crawl into the well by simply driving in a stake prepared in advance.
The clown spoke of activating the last Geass but Lennok needed to know exactly what that meant.
Why was the last Geass that bound Gyebaek asleep and not activated? Why was it left until now and only now was it activated?
What is the content of that Geass?
Gooooo…!!
While I was lost in thought the speed of Gyebaek which rose beyond the open sea began to speed up even more.
At the same time something passes by on the other side of the darkness where nothing was visible.
Even Lennok who borrowed some of Gyebaek’s senses and looked out into the open sea was unable to properly sense the shape.
There is no time to think about it for too long.
Taking advantage of the experience of searching Amilla Baenger’s consciousness it penetrates into the deepest part of Gyebaek’s consciousness.
All of this is a supernormal ability that came about because Lennok decomposed and absorbed the Geas of Gyebaek into the Ouroboros magic system.
The idea of reaching out to Gyebaek’s Geass through Ouroboros was itself a reckless idea but in the end Lennok succeeded.
Beyond understanding the law of Geass itself it has become possible to interfere and manipulate it at a direct or indirect level.
In a way it was a great achievement to realize how to deal with a law that was fundamentally related to Lennok’s penalty.
It may be possible to go beyond simply touching other people’s Geass and even create and transform new Geas.
But instead of thinking deeply about the endless possibilities and new abilities Lennok began to focus on what needed to be done right away.
Come on!!
He holds on to the end of the chain that is immeasurably complicated within Gyebaek’s body and heads to the other side.
In the body of an ascendant swimming at high speed in the open sea and heading into the vast void he delved deep into the base of his consciousness.
After passing through the Geas that had been interpreted and classified through the Ouroboros magic system through waste that lost its target and lost its effectiveness it finally reached the key hidden in the very bottom center.
It is the last command given among the 80000 types of Geass that completed the reign of Aurel Silford.
The last Geass that completely reversed the essence of Gyebaek and became located in the innermost part of its existence.

[■■■■ ■■■ ■■■■.]
I grabbed the tip of the Geass which was shaped like a black stake that Lennok had driven in with his own hand and slowly opened it.
Because the leader activated Geass with the power of the stake he made himself and clearly conveyed its meaning to Gyebaek.
It was enough to follow the flow of power backwards and read the inherent meaning of Geass.
A strange feeling as if you were holding onto the end of an infinitely complex tangled thread and untangling it all at once.
At the same time the unknown letters engraved on the surface began to change one by one into understandable shapes.
Let’s go together….
[Once again ■■■ ■■■■.]
‘Once again…?’
Let’s go…!!
[Once again to Ascension ■■■■.]
Let’s go together…!!!!
[Try to ascend to heaven once again.]
The last Geass that completed the existence of Gyebaek.
And the final command which has been sleeping on the other side of the deepest consciousness has only now become active.
The phrase engraved on the stake is that it was created by the leader himself whom even the clown did not know about.
It was a stern sentence to ‘challenge for ascension once again.’
‘….’
Lennok hesitated at the completely unexpected sentence.
Challenge yourself to ascend once again.
As soon as Gyebaek remembered this sentence he jumped out of the well on his own as if he had forgotten all the moments he had been fighting with Handyang.
All Lennok did was drive the stake in and assist Gyebaek who was trying to crawl into the well on his own.
Why should Gyebaek who has already failed to ascend to heaven challenge that grand goal again?
And why did Gyebaek who was told to challenge for ascension throw himself into the outer sea without the slightest hesitation?
The moment when Lennok found a ray of light among all the questions and tried to put all the puzzles together.
Puuuuuuu….
A faint sound of music began to come from somewhere.
‘…what?’
The open sea outside the world is a void where nothing exists.
In the void where everything that exists loses meaning all of the human senses do not function properly and are distorted.
In the void that absorbs everything without responding to all the stimuli and signals emitted by living things humans even forget their true nature and go crazy.
A vast ocean of darkness where cause and effect do not circulate and cause and effect radiate and do not converge regardless of their origin.
What does it mean to hear sounds that should not be heard in that space?
Before Lennok could think and understand it properly Gyebaek rolled his body up.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The tens of thousands of branches that make up the body are gathered together and compressed to form a spiral pillar which narrows as it gathers at both ends.
The darkness that had been constantly shaking and dancing beyond Gyebaek’s body which had turned into a giant bullet began to subside little by little.
No it’s not sinking.
Something so large that it obscures the endlessly dancing sea of darkness is approaching Gyebaek.
It’s just that I can’t fully recognize and see it with my sense of enlightenment so the scenery beyond is only visible.
The moment Lennok began to vaguely realize what it was it already existed.
Puuuuuuu…!!
Amid the faint sound of the trumpet something opens up at the end of the darkness.
A crack large enough to contain Gyebaek’s body hundreds of meters long opened at both ends and a huge circle appeared between them and slowly rotated.
It moves little by little but without fail contracting and opening.
Even though the radius of the circle covered hundreds of meters Lennok could tell.
‘…That doesn’t make sense.’
I see it through the sense of enlightenment and am convinced but I cannot believe it.
The movement of the circle in front of his eyes looks similar to the expansion and contraction of the pupil.
The circle that appeared in front of Gyebaek splitting into two sides was the eye of something bigger than the fallen ascendant.
The moment Lennok recognized this the music began to sound louder than ever before.
Baaaaaaaa!!
Although Gyebaek has no ears and Lennok is only conscious the sound of the music seems to tear his ears.
The volume is endlessly and majestically raised as if praising and showing off as if finally recognizing its existence.
As if the sound was shaking violently in front of my eyes my senses were shaken and my consciousness drifted away.
Gyebaek let out a scream that was close to a scream and pushed the bullet-like body forward.
On the contrary right after that Lennok’s consciousness flew back as if in repulsion from the movement.
As if the moment I had been swimming out in the open sea up until now was a lie I returned to the wrong path at twice the speed.
It seems as if my entire mind and consciousness are shouting with one voice that this is not the way.
Quaaaaa!!
The sound of waves crashing into my ears as if trying to erase the sound of the music.
In a state of shock that made him feel as if he would lose consciousness at any moment Lennok somehow opened his eyes and stared at the rapidly receding scenery.
Even though it is moving away from the spot so quickly I cannot see with my own eyes the entire body of a creature much larger than Gyebaek.
The elongated fuselage which is shaped like a sturdy ship lays its head heavily in the sea and hangs down in a languid posture showing off its scaly appearance.
If there was a dragon with a ship thousands of meters in size as its head would it look like this?
Would we dare to call that a life like Lennok?
One who floats among the stars swims between galaxies eats meteors wandering around the stars and drinks the tears of the sun.
A being who is prophesied to open the sky and descend to earth with the end of the world.
For the first time Lennok saw the true form of one of those great evils with his own eyes.
Let’s go….
Gyebaek’s body spins slowly like a bullet and slowly rushes into the center of the giant eye.
As if he knew he had to use its body as a weapon to kill that being.
Then what does it mean to challenge ascension once again?
Fu shoot!!
As soon as Gyebaek’s body penetrates the center of the eye part of the pupil of the huge eye begins to turn pitch black.
As if melted ink black slime penetrated between the pupils without hesitation.
The pupil stares blankly at Gyebaek who attacked him then lifts his gaze slightly and looks elsewhere.
That split-second moment when you look accurately at Lennok whose gaze is gradually moving away.
Absolutely!!
Lennok’s consciousness was suddenly extinguished with the sound of an electric current.
* * *
“Ha ha ha…!!”
A colony of floating islands in the Philenom Dominion.
A garden of the moon hidden by transcendental barrier techniques.
The headquarters of the Blue Eye where the now-collapsed giant tower lighthouse is located.
Watcher Fern was running down the hallway panting like crazy.
“I have to report it… if I don’t do it now!!”
Even though I’m dripping with tears and snot and covered in sweat I don’t stop.
The sight of watchers lying dead all over the hallway.
Some people clumsily picked up weapons but they were unable to swing them and were in an unsightly posture as if they were slumped over.
Although he is faintly breathing his consciousness is completely gone and only his body is holding on to life reactions.
Was the defense not sufficient? Pern couldn’t even fathom that fact.
That’s because the person who invaded this lighthouse right now was a monster that she couldn’t understand with her common sense.
A spirit that was created by Cheongyeon himself and casually passed through the moon barrier which is said to be able to temporarily bind even ascendants and instantly destroyed the lighthouse’s computer network.
Not only the numerous observers who remained in the lighthouse but even the supreme power who was protecting the Dominion on behalf of Lapis could not last long in front of him.
Perhaps there is an ending worse than death for humans.
And even though he had a feeling that that moment would come to him soon Fern did not stop.
The top of the tower where the lighthouse is located.
She entered the control tower which had now been restored pushed away the fallen observers and began manipulating the equipment.
The situation has become irreversible but someone must report this to the outside world.
If he fails to convey this fact to the lighthouse keeper who is currently away it will be an ending worse than death for Fern.
Beep beep beep beep…!!
“No just a little bit more…!!”
The hands that touch the control tower’s equipment lose strength and my eyes close little by little.
In order to come to his senses he bites his lower lip and bleeds out but doesn’t stop.
If I fall asleep like this will I also meet other watchers?
You may fall into a state worse than death never waking up.
Maybe that would be better than the terrible yet long-term sacrifice I was prepared to make by becoming a watcher.
Click…!!
Fern who managed to complete the message despite constantly dripping blood on the dashboard presses the send button with trembling hands.
The moment when her fingers fell on the dashboard and she was about to report everything that happened in the lighthouse to the main station.
Thump!!
A hand appeared from nowhere and strongly grabbed her wrist.
“ah….”
Despair appeared on Pern’s face as his eyesight faded.
I tried to lift my trembling gaze and at least check the face of the person who had grabbed that hand.
The noise bobbing above his neck only rendered Fern’s last resistance in vain.
Unable to hold on any longer she hit her head on the dashboard and lost consciousness.
thud!!
Inyoung who was looking down at the helpless figure of Fern let go of her wrist and turned her back.
Walking neither slowly nor quickly through the quiet hallway I head to the top of the tower.
A huge cavity made in a circle.
A huge celestial sphere floating lazily in the center of the cavity.
Wooooow…!
A faint radiance rotates like a star around the celestial sphere illuminating the inside of the dark cavity with a mysterious light.
Inyoung passed the armchair in front of Cheon-gu and carefully placed her hand on Cheon-gu.
The moment when smooth fingers tried to gently sweep the surface of the celestial sphere.
“I’ve been envisioning this moment for a very long time.”
A quiet female voice rang out from behind Inyoung.
“But I never thought we would meet like this.”
“….”
In-young looks away from the crackling noise and sees the armchair he passed by.
A woman who had not yet taken off her girlish form was sitting neatly in an armchair that had been empty just moments ago looking at him.
Bright blue hair. Brilliantly shining eyes and firm mouth.
The firm and clear determination contained in that expression.
Inyoung looked at that figure silently and muttered.
“I wasn’t planning on meeting you in person but… it looks like the timeline got messed up again.”
“….”
“I thought I had cut off all means of contact but where did the variable come from?”
A strange sound that seems to be a mixture of the voices of a man a woman an old man and a child.
Inyoung who was contemplating with her jaw clenched remembered Fern’s blood that had fallen on the dashboard and nodded.
“I wonder if the instrument panel was touch sensitive… I wasn’t expecting that. “It must be a fairly old-fashioned method in this world but I thought of installing it in the lighthouse control tower.”
“I really didn’t expect something like this to happen.”
Lapis answered coldly.
“I never thought that the leader of Pandemonium would break into the lighthouse alone.”
