    The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 637

    How to kill a god (3)

    “You’re going to steal the door… are you out of your mind?”

    Hermes asked with wide eyes.

    Even with its head cut off and covered in blood the innocent face still looked truly bizarre.

    But Lennok knew that if not for this moment he would never again have the chance to obtain the power of the door.

    “It is difficult to look deeply into the core without opening the door to this extent.”

    The calm gaze behind the iron mask met Hermes’ transparent eyes.

    “You have proven the value of the gate by putting the spirit of the old world into the flesh of this world. “There is room for application in more diverse ways.”

    Undersea barrier Shim Seong-gwan. The legacy of Ascension Gate located in the center of the deepest lake.

    Even though he knew that it bordered on the old world Lennok carefully weighed the situation.

    At this moment Hermes summoned the spirit of the old world by his own will reincarnated it in this world and faced a catastrophe with the other Meisters.

    Crucially the output of the door is used to its limits and its true value is fully shown.

    This amount of output and information. And if it is a design structure Lennok can somehow acquire it and take it with him.

    As soon as Lennok became convinced of this he changed his plan and appeared directly in front of Hermes.

    “Uhm….”

    Hermes let out a sigh looking troubled. The upside-down head let out a small sigh.

    “I’m embarrassed. “I thought I could use some coaxing… but you’re a gentleman who already knows too many secrets.”

    “Are you saying this is a secret legacy that came from the failure of the Ascension Gate?”

    Lennok asked calmly knocking on the doorknob.

    “Or is it that you are still holding on to your plan to move on to the next world and brooding over its regrets?”

    “…Hehe.”

    At that moment Hermes’ head rolled sideways and stood upright.

    A gruesome figure covered in blood flowing from the cut cross section.

    But Hermes laughed looking straight at Lennok while holding the severed head on the floor.

    “Of course it wasn’t like that at first. “Everyone considered this a shame and tried to destroy it by erasing all traces and evidence.”

    “….”

    “Even the prophets of the executive agency including Fireside Jingun Maiya Rensleyt who designed the Ascension Gate and created the foundation of the Atermire Gate. It ended up being forgotten in the city’s history. But it wasn’t long before I realized it.”

    Hermes clicked his tongue and sneered as if he felt sorry.

    “The fact that this city cannot move forward in any direction other than picking up the scraps of its already failed history. “When we created the Ascension Gate to see what was next our future was decided in that moment.”

    “….”

    “There is no next time for us. “There is no future in this world.”

    Hermes whispered strongly in confirmation to Lennok who did not respond.

    “From the moment we opened the door and reached the second place not the fourth… we were trapped in a contradiction from which we could never escape.”

    Ascension Gate the answer of the machine city that tried to go beyond this world with a fixed ending and head to the next.

    It was a type of project that compressed and globalized the concept of inquiry to the limit building a path for human consciousness to the next and skipping the world itself.

    The essence of magic engineering given to them. Their technological prowess and ideas which raised human longings and wishes to a level where they could be quantified and established as data had reached a transcendental level even in Lennok’s opinion.

    The single fact that the fourth world does not exist made all plans go to waste.

    The despairing truth that there is no next world beyond this world that is coming to an end.

    They found hope with technology that was superior to anything else they possessed but because of that they also learned the identity of the despair that was approaching in exactly the same way.

    After saying that Hermes laughed and mocked himself as if his appearance was ridiculous.

    “Well I don’t know how much you an outsider understand what this means but-”

    “You can’t bear the loss because you thought you deserved it.”

    “….”

    Did I feel like I had been stabbed to the core of my agony with that single word?

    Lennok said looking at Hermes’ closed-mouthed head.

    “It is natural to not be able to accept contradictions to deny them and to be obsessed with them.”

    How would they feel when they realized that the place they had gathered all their hopes for in the city was not the future they had longed for but a failed past?

    They couldn’t bear it and went crazy and tried to erase all traces and people involved.

    Lennok could understand that they were now desperately clinging to the failure they had discovered.

    “I’m no different.”

    Lennok knelt down made eye contact with Hermes and muttered.

    “If I didn’t know the truth I might have already failed and been walking the same path as those who have gone crazy. “I don’t want to deny that.”

    That’s why Lennok continues to wonder how those who tried to pursue the next failed.

    At the end of the ending how they failed and fell away without being able to move on.

    If you don’t check how that desire comes to fruition and then loses Lennok will also end up walking the same path as them.

    Even Kaise who thoroughly explored all the failures of this world and joined hands with Alkaid to find a way ultimately failed.

    They say that foolish people learn from their own failures and smart people learn from the failures of others but Lennok disagreed.

    There is no opportunity in this world to learn something from your own failures.

    Even if you are not smart even if you are not qualified even if it means exposing a history stained with madness and corruption.

    Lennoc must look back on the times he tried to come up with an answer and repeatedly failed.

    Just one answer to the ending of this world.

    No one could be sure whether the next meaning or comparable value could be found.

    Lennok turns his gaze away from Hermes and slowly approaches the gate.

    Slowly grab the doorknob of the gateway with both hands summon your magic power and turn it with all your might.

    Charrrrrrr!!

    Dozens of overlapping circular rings quickly rotated in different directions emitting a huge flash of light.

    “A deviant from the transcendent law who challenges the great observer… You are still looking for a way.”

    Hermes looked at Lennok silently from behind and then laughed.

    “I respect the mindset of seeking answers that don’t exist but the power of the door can only be obtained through determination…”

    Snap!!

    Lennok ignored Hermes’ words and began manipulating the output devices connected to various parts of the huge circular ring.

    There is nothing Hermes can do at this point anyway.

    What Lennok needs to do is overload the gate’s output beyond its limit and then use Dabi’s power to duplicate and steal the gate’s design structure and internal techniques.

    We checked how the meisters operated the equipment to adjust the door and stabilize the output.

    In that case all you have to do is operate the equipment itself in the opposite way to reduce the stability of the output and forcibly overload it.

    Wooooow!!!

    As if Lennok’s thoughts were not wrong dozens of overlapping giant circles began to rotate rapidly adding to their brilliance.

    Lennok attempts to forcibly amplify the power of the door collapse its internal structure and observe and remember what is inside.

    Hermes let out a small sigh as he realized that Lennok was not just talking empty words but was quickly digging into the structure of the door.

    “great. “I really underestimated that gentleman.”

    With those words I feel something rising from the bottom of the lake at great speed.

    Grumbling…!!

    Like a cruise missile something rose rapidly at a speed exceeding the speed of sound then leapt out and struck Lennok without hesitation.

    Ugh…!!

    An eerie vibration that violently shakes the eardrums. A huge wave crashed over the surface of the lake.

    At the same time as a huge shock wave exploded Lennok’s body was pushed backwards.

    Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!!

    “I was planning to keep it hidden until the commotion inside Simseonggwan was completely suppressed but…”

    Hermes said as he rolled his neck and dodged to the side of the door.

    “It wouldn’t be a bad idea to test how effective it would be against a strong person like you.”

    A ghost blood knight from the old world whom Lennok once kicked and threw into the bottom of a lake.

    The shape of a monster that staggered and blocked Lennok’s path with Harvest’s body covered in blood-covered armor.

    However Lennok quietly shook his head as he looked at the blood knight.

    “no. “The trial and error itself is already over and all that is needed is verification in practice.”

    “yes?”

    “The process itself is against mutual understanding. Even if you calculate the efficiency of the offering the price is not enough.”

    Although Lennok did not feel much interest or possibility in human sacrifice itself he had a deep understanding of human sacrifice after experiencing several incidents.

    Although Hermes said that the door was not efficient he only sacrificed Harvest’s life to summon the spirits of the old world.

    Aside from the fact that the Meister’s existence itself is a tremendous asset to this city the price is not enough to summon a transcendental person who killed a god.

    To the extent that it would be impossible without paying an additional price in advance and preparing the soul itself.

    “You may have acted like you were crazy and irrational but in fact the deal itself must have already been completed and brought in long ago right?”

    Lennok’s eyes glowed coldly as he looked down at the smiling head of Hermes.

    “To make the situation more convenient they probably intentionally made it seem like the author was on a rampage. “The reason he covered his face with armor was probably because there were further changes.”

    The image of Hermes with his head cut off and the Meisters running away in confusion.

    If the situation so far has progressed according to Hermes’ own intention and has been completed as a plan then where is the true purpose itself?

    “He fakes his own death and causes chaos inside the undersea barrier. Nevertheless the fact that they did not stop the confusion from spreading….”

    Lennok made a cold sneer as he looked at Hermes’ head rolling around on the floor.

    “It’s hard to understand unless you’re willing to sacrifice the undersea wall itself in exchange for the inquiry.”

    Human emotions are heightened to the limit between the fear of death and the desire for survival.

    Even within the machine city that has existed for a long time the existence of an undersea wall is considered the most secret and valuable secret.

    If all of that is offered as compensation for the door’s transaction what level of soul can be summoned?

    Hermes did not sacrifice just one meister to summon the God Slayer.

    own life. The existence of a dozen Meisters. Other soldiers and all the material and space-time value of the undersea wall.

    He was planning to push all of the most valuable parts of the Machine City Machina beyond the door and obtain something he did not want.

    The moment Lennok pointed out that fact a dry voice leaked out through the Blood Knight’s tightly closed helmet.

    “…Interesting. Do the equipment of this world also dream of heading to the next place?”

    He muttered that and slowly took off his helmet and brushed his hair.

    Covering his face with one hand he quietly raised his gaze and looked at Lennok.

    “A life of mortgaging one’s soul at the edge of destruction suffering and cursing without being able to live or die… I thought about it every time but really…”

    The man sighed and simultaneously removed his hand covering his face.

    “It’s a long time coming.”

    The face where the hand was lowered was completely different from the facial skin that Harvest’s corpse already had.

    Smooth skin and gray hair. A young man with a pale complexion and tall physique.

    The gesture exudes a dignity and elegance that cannot be hidden.

    “The face…”

    Lennok belatedly realized what the change in appearance meant and his face hardened.

    It is not simply a matter of using magic or techniques to change one’s appearance.

    Memories of the old world that exist beyond the door. In it the soul residing in Harvest’s corpse was changing the body from its source just by its presence.

    A miracle in which the balance between the body and the soul is broken because the soul’s status and presence are so incredibly powerful that the body is reorganized according to the soul’s memories.

    Completing the seven hierarchies of self-change is not enough.

    This is impossible unless you are at the level of twisting your own hierarchy and finding your own way.

    Lennok’s gaze sank deeply as he suddenly realized that his opponent was a monster beyond the ordinary.

    “It is not a being that can be forcibly summoned by someone’s will. “Why did you crawl outside?”

    The gray-haired young man standing in front of me is by no means a soul that can act according to the will of others.

    It would be clear that a soul of this caliber must have voluntarily inhabited Harvest’s body and decided to escape beyond the door and carried it out.

    I don’t know why but that being had just heard the conversation between Lennok and Hermes took over Harvest’s body and crawled out.

    “What a rude remark to say you crawled out.”

    The young man chuckled and placed his hand on the Ascension Gate located behind his back.

    The young man unhesitatingly tore off a circular ring that made up the Ascension Gate held it with both hands and twisted it strongly.

    Wood clatter!!

    The ring which is only a few tens of centimeters thick is twisted on the spot with bare hands to change its direction arbitrarily.

    The moment the young man created a scimitar that was twisted into a spiral in an instant and lightly held it.

    Woe!!

    The air surrounding the young man rose sharply and a dull shock wave exploded across the water.

    A young man with a heavy spear over his shoulder answered grumpily.

    “The author spoke to me and I just responded.”

    “….”

    “It’s not pleasant to reflect on our ending like this but it’s not a bad thing if it means licking the wounds of fellow failures. “Don’t you think so?”

    Same loser. Old world existence. Lennok roughly understood what the other person was saying.

    Perhaps that being was not the Godslayer itself but was a being that failed to ascend to heaven in the second world and ended up disappearing.

    Even though he became part of the destroyed world and reached the end of cause and effect he responded to Hermes’ call and appeared here in a physical body.

    This is the essence of the plan that Hermes was trying to use in this machine city by taking advantage of the failure of the Gate of Ascension.

    To inhabit the human bodies of this world with the souls of the old world and make them the new vanguard of this city.

    “I have no regrets but it is always fun to test the qualifications of a seeker like you.”

    The young man with his spear holder hanging over his shoulder and his head slightly lowered began to have an eerie look in his eyes.

    An ominous dark red magical power flowing between the spear that sits diagonally and the shoulder.

    The dark red magic light climbed the spear and flipped over the scimitar blade creating a blazing spear blade.

    “My name is Kashuin. “I am a sinner who abandoned the failed God and fell from the seat of the archangel.”

    “…An archangel?”

    The moment Lennok’s face hardened upon hearing the name huge wings covered in blood spread wide behind the Blood Knight’s back.

    At the same time a prominence like a huge sun rising through the window filled the field of vision.

    Grumbling…!!

    Kashuin’s Changgeuk was lightly performed from a distance of several tens of meters.

    The magical power of the spear blade followed him like wildfire burning so high that it seemed as if it would split Lennok’s head.

    Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!!

    A faint cold glow flashed among the fluttering flames and Kashuin pursued and blocked it without hesitation.

    The man who broke the shield in an instant and put his face right in front of Lennok smiled as he brought his burning gaze closer.

    Kagagak!!

    “You smell like a soul I miss so much… What is your name?”

    At that moment the compassion of the staff archangel sleeping in Lennok’s arms began to resonate strongly.
