Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 635



The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 635

How to kill a god (1)

Godslayer of the old world.

As soon as Lennok heard those words he sharpened his senses and focused on observing the reactions of others.

What does it mean to mention it in a machine city that experienced the failure of the Ascension Gate?

Do they know what it means to speak directly of the cause and effect of a world that has already been destroyed?

The soldiers were silent as if they did not understand the words themselves and the Meisters were looking at Hermes with a somewhat subtle expression.

“Hermes have you forgotten?”

Someone among the silent Meisters spoke.

“When bringing the necessary information from beyond the door it must have been discussed in advance.”

“….”

“I understand that as the head of this branch I am responsible for exploring and researching beyond the gate. But you need more reasons than that to make adjustments.”

The Undersea Barrier Simseong Pavilion is held in each quarter of the Machine City.

In each quarter there are Meisters and soldiers staying there as well as a person in charge of studying the gate and are they trying to resolve the failure of the Ascension Gate?

‘The machine-headed researcher the steel-hearted soldier and the war hammer craftsman… were managing the inside of the undersea barrier in their own way.’

In that case it can be said that the gigantic ring that floats behind Hermes’ back is a legacy that resulted from the failure of the Gate of Ascension.

“I’m sorry Harvester.”

Hermes spoke in a completely unwavering voice.

“But sometimes there are things that are not even allowed to be said out loud. “You know that right?”

“….”

At those words the other Meisters’ expressions turned cautious.

This is because I realized that Hermes’ words were not simply because he did not want to talk.

“This is information that has been banned even among those in the old world.”

“Certainly if that’s the case it’s definitely a reason to completely revise the quarterly goal. “Is that why you called us?”

“As I said you need to make the right adjustments to load the information you need at the right time.”

Hermes’ transparent gaze turned to the meister and the soldiers.

“If you understand I’d like to get started right away.”

“…even if they succeeded in finding groundbreaking information and knowledge there were many cases in which they were unable to meet the price in the end leaving behind irreversible harm.”

The old meister who was standing silently at the very back muttered quietly.

“There isn’t much time left. “I need to take full responsibility so that it doesn’t happen this time.”

“Do you want to say this?”

Hermes nodded slowly.

The Meisters who were facing each other in silence gestured to the soldiers standing silently behind them.

“We will begin adjusting the inquiry now. You guys can assist with related tasks.”

“All right.”

‘The situation is not good….’

Lennok who was walking among the soldiers frowned inside his suit.

The Meisters don’t seem to know who the God Slayer of the Old World is but they are still cooperating as if they are used to this kind of thing.

That’s probably because in the past whenever I discovered unusual information beyond the door I went through a similar process to learn it.

There are two things that can be learned from this.

One was that sufficient preparation and coordination were necessary in advance to retrieve information from beyond the door.

The other was that the legacy of the Gate of Ascension seen in Bojan’s memories possessed the power that Lennok had vaguely guessed.

‘The Ascension Gate project was definitely a failure. But beyond the door…’

It is no coincidence that traces and relics of knowledge from the old world were found particularly frequently in the machine city of Machina.

There was not a fourth world that did not exist but a second world in which cause and effect had already disappeared and perished.

Through the failure of the Ascension Gate they were bringing out memories and knowledge of WORLD 2.0 or equivalent artifacts.

Why is the door that was supposed to lead to the fourth connected to the destroyed second world and is the space of the old world beyond the door still intact?

There are no facts Lennok can confirm right now.

All you have to do is help with the work and watch what’s going on in the huge cave built on the large lake.

Lennok and other soldiers carried the necessary materials and items and the meisters began attaching wires and equipment to the giant ring.

Wooooow…!!

A huge ring made up of dozens of overlapping circles spinning on the lake while making strange vibration sounds.

Measuring devices and data output equipment are connected to each ring that rotates in different directions and speeds and then the values ​​are adjusted through a temporarily installed computing device.

In the process of delivering and exchanging materials during the work Lennok was also able to naturally observe the shape of the door up close.

A beautiful metal that shines white and gold. Perhaps it is an illusion but the shape sometimes appears as if it does not exist in reality.

Dabi whispered quietly through Lennok’s earphones in his arms.

[There is no related data anywhere in the Machine City and Megacity databases. It is an alloy that does not officially exist.]

‘No this is something from the old world.’

Lennok knew that this was an off-spec alloy called cloud gold.

I don’t remember all of the items that exist in WORLD 2.0 but this beautiful cloud-like shape was extremely popular as an appearance change option.

And that fact proved that the door here now was a newly created door after the failure of the Ascension Gate.

If the destruction of the second world had been reached through the Ascension Gate project the Ascension Gate that was completed at the time would have been made only from materials from this world.

So where is the Ascension Gate which was created during the project and failed?

‘I haven’t even found the end of Teremer yet but I’ve become too involved in this matter. This is difficult…’

When I entered Simseonggwan I thought I might be able to find traces related to the Ascension Gate but I had no idea that I would be able to see people using the gate in person.

And the reason why things progressed so suddenly is probably because of that man named Hermes who gathered the Meisters.

Looking at the situation it seemed clear that this man was the person most deeply involved in the secrets of this city and was in charge of the role of head.

A member of Ex Machina and the Machine Head faction. Even if he were here as the head of the research institute he would definitely be a big man equivalent to the leadership.

However Lennok’s senses as he looked closely at Hermes revealed facts that were different from the known circumstances.

‘There is a strange lack of presence or reaction. It’s like encountering an inorganic object.’

Even though the breathing metabolic and magic patterns are clearly those of an organism all of its actions and reactions are strangely heterogeneous.

Even though he doesn’t seem to have a very high level of power or hierarchy for a big man who is at the top his inorganic words and actions feel somewhat awkward.

Could it be that as a side effect of studying and exploring the door for a long time something has gone awry?

While Lennok was lost in thought the shape of the door began to rotate faster and the other Meisters were busy moving around.

“The horsepower output is below the expected level. “I think we need to increase the output a little more.”

“As expected I used it too much last time. The problem arose because it was called back at such an early time. “I might have to replace the door sometime soon.”

“Wasn’t that also because you were trying to force the end of Teremer Oason?”

While Lennok listened to the familiar name the Meisters continued to grumble.

“If the craftsman who participated in the selection ceremony can fix it there’s no way I can’t fix it.”

“You started talking nonsense again.”

“I’ve said it many times but it’s stolen property with more value than meets the eye. “If we repair it properly we may be able to find out about the artifact’s shape-changing ability.”

The craftsman called Oason pounded the suit he was wearing.

“As a result wasn’t the creation of a suit with a built-in mobile workshop a result of research into the technology of the old world?”

“….”

“I don’t think Machina’s technological capabilities are inferior but the knowledge of the old world is definitely giving us new inspiration and ideas.”

Oason’s eyes flashed an eerie light for an instant.

“It’s the only possibility left in this city. “No matter what the sacrifice I will never give up this opportunity.”

The Meisters reacted with displeasure to those blatant words but no one denied them.

That’s probably because other Meisters are gathered here hoping for something similar to Oason even if they don’t show it outwardly.

“In that respect it was unfortunate that we were unable to persuade Narcissa Solmer.”

Hermes who was quietly listening to Oason’s words and smiling said.

He shakes his hands and stands up easily as if he had done his job just by raising the gate from the bottom of the water.

“If we had had the cooperation of her who took over the attack and defense of Hwadeokjin Army we would have been able to stabilize the gate situation much more than now.”

“….”

Perhaps because the name of the Meister who was not present was mentioned the expressions on the other people’s faces turned sour.

“Well not all Meisters are cooperating with the cause. “I plan to respect my partner’s wishes.”

“There are craftsmen who are that stubborn. “How long do you plan to stay stuck in the workshop and just sit idle without starting a business?”

Not all Meisters participated in this work and it seems that there are only a limited number of people who cooperate with the Ascension Gate maintenance work.

In the process are they providing Meisters with old world technology that flows through failed inquiries?

There seemed to be no doubt that the subject belonged to a man called Hermes standing solidly on the lake over there.

“But isn’t the reason Narcissa Solmer still unconscious is because you had no intention of respecting her wishes?”

Hermes said with a smile.

“I understand that one of the people gathered here had a hand in it.”

“…!!”

The Meisters’ expressions distorted as they heard Hermes casually mentioning the leader of the assassination incident.

The meisters quickly exchanged glances and nodded towards the soldiers who were helping them with the work.

“All necessary adjustments have been made. “So that we can return to the work area and wait for further orders.”

“Grina Meister. But we…”

“I will personally describe the process and submit it to the commander of the mechanized fire corps.”

“…All right.”

The soldier who seemed to be in charge reluctantly nodded.

Lennok also had to stop pretending to help them with the work and walk out of the lake.

The lake seen from outside suddenly took the shape of a glass tower surrounded by a huge magical barrier.

Is the scenery inside the submarine barrier deteriorating and rising just by adjusting the output of the door?

As soon as they walked out of the lake the commander spoke in a low voice to the soldiers.

“As I said before I am erasing everything I just heard from my memory. “You understand right?”

The commander slowly turned around as he saw the soldiers nodding with a heavy expression.

“I have some work to do so I’m going to be away from work for a while. “You guys go back to the work area and wait.”

Even so the commander probably also plans to report this incident to his superiors.

Lennok slowly raised his magic power as he watched the commander leaving the formation and other soldiers walking in silence.

Pot!!

The appearance of Lennoc using the flasher to get out of the suit and at the same time turning to walk in the opposite direction of the soldiers.

However even though its owner has disappeared the suit Lennok is wearing naturally moves in line with the soldiers.

It wouldn’t be a problem if I just operated the suit until I got back to the work area via Dabi.

He completely altered the iron mask on his face covered it up and hid his presence. This time he raised his magical power and entered the vicinity of the lake again.

Meister and Hermes were having a conversation with their backs to the huge ring of light.

“I hope you don’t forget that we are indebted to each other Hermes.”

“hmm.”

“Even in the long history of the Machine City you are an excellent researcher but there are times when you cross the line.”

Despite the stern voice Hermes did not feel intimidated or angry but instead fell into deep thought.

As if he was trying to understand exactly what the words meant.

As Lennok watched it from afar he became convinced that this was the inside story of the Machine City that he could never know.

‘There’s a meaning to breaking through the undersea barrier. No maybe that’s why I was able to witness this in person…’

Lennok’s action of breaking through the deep sea and forcibly opening the undersea barrier with a limited exploration vessel is a miracle that should never have been allowed at this time.

Because I was forced to reach a space that could never be reached with only the variables at hand in this machine city.

By bypassing procedures that would have originally taken a very long time you can instantly get a glimpse into the machine city’s most deadly secret.

Meanwhile another meister who was concentrating on adjusting the door shouted.

“The adjustment is almost complete! Bring in the test subjects needed for the transaction. “Because the door is in bad condition it is difficult to maintain the output for a long time!!”

“….”

At those words the meister called Oason who had been criticizing Hermes turned his gaze.

“Let’s talk once the work is over….”

“After looking through the door for a long time I realized.”

Hermes cut off Oason’s words and slowly walked away.

“No matter how much we deny it the fact is that our glory and honor have deteriorated far from what they were decades ago….”

“….”

“It was very clear that it was due to a mistake resulting from the failure of the Ascension Gate.”

Hermes’ firm words fell into silence.

It even turned the attention of other Meisters who had been concentrating on the adjustment work without intervening at all.

“Hermes. “What on earth do you want to say?”

“It’s something that was discussed decades ago. Are you going to reverse all those decisions now?”

“Despite the failure of the Ascension Gate the Machine City stood at the pinnacle of magic engineering because it accepted the failure instead of ignoring it. Are you planning to deny the sacrifices that have been made over decades?”

Hermes paid no heed to the criticism pouring in from all over.

“Discipline of steel. “The door was created under the rationale that we would receive back more than what we gave and we tried to move forward by putting everything we had into it.”

“….”

“But now we are picking up the scraps of a fallen world paying less than a merchant’s price by bargaining. “I no longer consider this a failure.”

Hermes looked away and his expression was coldly mocking.

“It is evidence of failure and downfall which is worse than failure.”

“Hermes!!”

One of the Meisters who couldn’t stand it hit the workbench hard.

bang!!

“Enough!! Now that the door adjustment is complete bring in the necessary test subjects. “After confirming the information about the God Slayer you mentioned I will hold you responsible for this incident later!!”

“It is now enough to look back on past memories and recall forgotten information.”

Hermes said and grabbed the ring of the gate with one hand.

“I found higher value than that beyond the door. And I finally succeeded in getting it.”

Kiiiiing…!!!

The speed at which the giant ring of light rotated along Hermes’ hand began to rapidly accelerate.

Dozens of overlapping rings of different sizes accelerated at the same time creating a crack in the space and a completely different landscape was reflected beyond the twisted crack.

The expressions of the other meisters changed dramatically.

“no!! “No one can avoid the rules if they open the door when there are no other offerings!!”

“Hold it!! Stop the door from opening!!”

Most meisters are powerful superhumans who can handle magical power at a high level.

The craftsmen who had raised their magic grabbed their tools and rushed to stop Hermes but it was already too late.

Click.

With the quiet sound of the door opening the intense light that came out from beyond instantly covered and sparkled over the lake.

Paaaaa!!

Ironically as soon as the Meisters encountered the light they stumbled and fell unable to properly control their bodies.

At the same time all kinds of colorful noises crashing twisting breaking exploding and crawling echoed in Lennok’s ears.

An overwhelming amount of information leaking out randomly from beyond the door just like what we encountered in Boyan’s memories.

The moment they face it properly even outstanding superhuman meisters find it difficult to maintain consciousness.

“This is impossible…!!”

Craftsman Harvest who had fallen at Hermes’ feet cried out in difficulty.

“How can you break the rules and open the door by yourself…!!”

Originally opening the door itself would have been impossible with Hermes’ authority alone.

The reason other meisters responded to Hermes’ call was probably because they believed that he could not cause harm alone.

However that belief was completely shattered when Hermes opened the door himself.

Instead of answering Harvest’s words Hermes crouched down in front of the fallen man and opened his mouth.

“Harvest. Do you remember what we were trying to do through this door?”

“….”

Instead of answering Harvest swung the folding blade he was holding in his hand.

A blow swung in a state of desperation with a gesture that was close to a struggle.

Deep!!

Absurdly the blade was so easily and accurately lodged in the nape of Hermes’ neck.

“…!!!”

Other Meisters around them were trying to become conscious to help Harvest.

Not only Lennok who was watching but even Harvest himself who was swinging his sword in a panic opened his eyes wide in shock.

Hermes’ dazzling silver hair was cut off and red blood dripped from the nape of his neck where the blade was stuck.

It is not surprising that it is a fatal wound that is life-threatening regardless of whether it is a human or a superhuman.

However Hermes continued speaking regardless of the fact that his face was instantly covered in blood.

“The Code of Steel dictates that you must leave what you have at the door to retrieve what is forgotten.”

“…you you….”

“Up until now we have been acquiring parts of the old world in exchange for memories and knowledge but a thought occurred to me.”

Hermes said and stretched out his hand and grabbed Harvest’s collar.

“If what we have obtained is a piece of the destroyed world wouldn’t there still be souls and consciousness that couldn’t escape that place?”

Hermes stepped forward beyond the white ring of light and stood in front of the door holding Harvest’s collar.

Hermes smiled even more brightly as he looked in a pitiful state with half of his neck cut off and shaking.

“And in order to summon a spirit rather than specific information or memories you would have to give something of equal value.”
