    The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 646

    Bailiff(3)

    Atermire the designer of the Ascension Gate.

    He is the person who designed the supreme project door that staked all the possibilities of the machine city Machina.

    A researcher who disappeared with the failure of his plan and whose name was erased from Machina’s history.

    Maiya was saying that the name of Atermire was Dr. Bondi’s.

    ‘…I see.’

    Although he thought it was unexpected Lennok was not overly perturbed and quickly accepted the fact.

    If you think about it it might be because there was quite a bit of evidence that the doctor was Atermire or something similar to it.

    In Pandemonium Maiya and Dr. seemed to have known each other for a long time.

    The doctor’s attitude of interest in researching and researching information about the old world.

    And the divine statue he created existed in replicas throughout the machine city of Machina.

    It is clear that the doctor once conducted research on the old world in this machine city.

    And considering the capabilities and genius shown by the doctor in Pandemonium it is not at all strange that he was directly involved in the design of the Ascension Gate beyond his position as a researcher.

    But even though he knew that the reason why Lennok didn’t think that Dr. Atermire was.

    This may have been because Lennok thought that the doctor was not someone who could be tied down to one place and focus on a very large project.

    Although he moves according to the leader’s words the doctor’s plans and methods are quite heterogeneous and arbitrary even within Pandemonium.

    Lennok did not think that such a person was once a member of the Machine City and was in charge of the design part of the Ascension Gate plan.

    [That’s not the regret I left behind Mai. I cannot agree with that.]

    The doctor’s voice turned cold and he laughed beyond the blood mark Maiya had made.

    [All I did was design the theory of the Ascension Gate into a feasible design. You must have set a price on Jura’s scale and paid the price?]

    “….”

    [I didn’t expect that the failure of the plan would lead to the void of the old world but it’s not my regret that I didn’t stop at the point where I couldn’t reach it.]

    The doctor’s answer was mixed with a faint cynicism.

    [The idea of ​​bringing out meaning from beyond the silence was wrong. Everyone knew this problem would arise. What’s the point in fixing it now?]

    Thump thump….

    The doctor muttered along with the sound of languidly hitting something.

    [You’re just repeating the trouble that will never end Mai… It’s far from the fundamental answer you’re looking for.]

    Even though she knows how obsessed Maiya is with the failure of the Ascension Gate she does not hesitate to laugh at it from the front.

    Rather than feeling responsible or burdened by the failure of the inquiry he seemed to think it was a natural result.

    Rather if you listen to the doctor’s words it seems as if Maiya is trying to dissuade her from interfering with Machina’s affairs at this point.

    Lennok who had been silently listening to the conversation between the two people from behind opened his eyes.

    ‘You participated in the Ascension Gate plan through some kind of transaction but you were not interested in the results?’

    But that doesn’t take away from the fact that the doctor designed the door.

    The doctor seemed to think that his contribution to the plan was insignificant but Lennok on the contrary realized the extent of his capabilities from his answer.

    What does it mean to say that the theory of the Ascension Gate was designed into a feasible design?

    The genius of quantifying the possibilities of images and thoughts that do not exist in form and bringing them down to the realm of calculation and research.

    What the doctor was talking about was the fruit of a talent that reached the pinnacle of theorizing and it is difficult to say whether even Lennoc could imitate it.

    It is no coincidence that even at a time when the name Atermire has been completely forgotten in this city he is remembered as the designer of the Ascension Gate.

    It was clear that the doctor’s abilities played a key role in the process of designing the plan in detail.

    The doctor’s words that blatantly point out the failure of the Ascension Gate and ridicule it.

    However instead of being angry at the doctor’s words Maiya silently looked at the blood dripping from her forearm.

    The blood that fell rises up and turns into the shape of a door connecting the doctor and the doctor but that doesn’t last long.

    At this point when it has been revealed that the doctor himself has no intention of directly intervening there should be minimal consequences.

    What had to be said was decided.

    “Hermes is one of the very few Ascendants who has ever worked with the Godslayer.”

    [Godslayer?]

    “Even if it’s not to resolve this matter we need to observe the cause and effect. “Am I wrong?”

    [….]

    The silent doctor laughed.

    […I see. Was anyone listening? It would have been easier for both of us if you had told us sooner.]

    “….”

    Maiya didn’t reply anymore but Lennok immediately realized what the two were talking about.

    Hermes is one of the extremely rare Old World beings related to the leader.

    That’s why Maiya told the doctor about the need to monitor the progress of the Ascension Gate’s failure even if it was not to correct it.

    However referring to the leader’s existence as a God Slayer is just a simple message to prevent Lennok from knowing the leader’s identity.

    The doctor read the intention of those words in an instant and implicitly sensed Lennok’s presence.

    [good night. If that is the reason there is nothing we can do.]

    A refreshing change of attitude from the previously discouraging attitude.

    Maiya also nodded as if she had expected the doctor’s reaction.

    “We don’t have a long time to stay in touch. “If you have anything to say about the door listen quickly.”

    [Something to tell you… Oh I see.]

    The doctor seemed to think about it for a moment and then smiled as if he realized something.

    [Finally there is some information about the Ascendants of the Old World in the database. Let me explain about Hermes.]

    “…There is still information about Hermes?”

    [Hermes Orochnier. The Prime Minister of a ruined country the Ghost of Steel and the Commander of Platinum. An ascendant who studied the boundary between material and immaterial and gained qualifications to transcend the hierarchy based on mass magic.]

    Without waiting for an answer the doctor spoke quickly in a flat tone.

    [It is said that he is the commander of Ikkitousen and has the power of an army. He appears to have been such an outstanding war agent that his legacy in the history of the old world lasted for decades.]

    “….”

    [Cold and mechanical personality. Five countries were destroyed. A fallen civilization. Although he was revered as a god he did not seem to have any interest in having believers.]

    When Lennok heard that he wondered if there was a being like Hermes in WORLD 2.0 but there was no boss or character that came to mind.

    Was he a transcendental person who existed after he stopped playing WORLD 2.0?

    Maiya also heard those words and fell silent with a complicated expression as if she was lost in thought.

    The doctor completely ignored the two people’s reactions and muttered as if he was looking at an old book.

    [I have the qualifications to challenge for ascension but I have never officially challenged for ascension. However none of the ascendants in the old world attempted it….]

    The doctor who had been reading up to that point suddenly stopped speaking.

    “Doctor what’s going on?”

    [Hehe… I think I understand why Hermes’ ego existed beyond the door. He had no intention of transcending the world from the beginning.]

    The doctor responded with a low laugh.

    [I think I roughly know what to do. There is an arrangement I left near Machine City. I’ll send you the coordinates so you can take care of the rest.]

    “good.”

    Maiya responded coldly and slowly rubbed her forearm.

    “I’ll listen to the rest after everything is done.”

    [as you please. Just make sure not to get too involved in the void of the old world. You probably know-]

    The doctor who paused for a moment whispered through the blood gate that was slowly closing.

    [Because we are already facing the most dangerous possibility in that old world.]

    At that moment Maiya’s mouth twitched faintly. As if calling him that in itself was awkward.

    “It’s a possibility….”

    [It is not our place to judge the values ​​of the old world. Don’t forget.]

    The doctor’s voice muttering in a strange tone fades and the sound of his steps become distant.

    The sound of small footsteps beyond the door as if they were turning their backs and walking away.

    [Under absolute standards everything exists only in the realm of calculation. The rest….]

    Beyond the scattered signs only the doctor’s message rang quietly.

    As Maiya listened she slowly rubbed her forearm to stop the bleeding and collected the blood magic.

    She turned around with an expressionless face and nodded lightly towards Lennok.

    “I received the coordinates. “Let’s move for now.”

    But instead of answering Lennok looked at her blankly and said

    “I understand you want to stop Hermes. “You think this is one of those planned failures.”

    “….”

    “Then why do you need my help instead of taking action yourself?”

    “With the failure of the Ascension Gate….”

    After Maiya said that the corners of her mouth slightly twisted.

    As if just mentioning that fact was difficult to bear.

    After being silent for a moment she slowly opened her mouth.

    “I made a covenant with the scales and gave up all authority. Interfering with central systems including the Machine City Ex Machina is prohibited to me.”

    “balance?”

    “Jura’s scale. “It is a type of numerical contract created by reinterpreting Gias in the central city of Arsnova.”

    Maiya explained as if it was no big deal.

    “Because the contract is made through the medium of corrupted status it functions as a taboo where only high-ranking superhumans can pay a price.”

    “Are you saying that you want to refrain from intervention as much as possible due to the ban?”

    “I am not the one who suffers from the backlash of the contract.”

    Maiya’s eyes sank coldly as she stared at Lennok with her arms crossed.

    “It is the most precious and obsessed value that the contractor placed on the scale.”

    “….”

    What she values ​​most is the safety of the machine city or something of equivalent value.

    She was indirectly saying that if the prohibition was broken and excessive efforts were made the machine city itself could be ruined.

    “If I go out to deal with Hermes myself I might end up helping him. “I want to avoid that much.”

    As an outcast all authority to intervene in the system has been taken away so is it not even possible to access it?

    Nevertheless Maiya secretly returns to the city and tries to stop Hermes who is trying to overthrow the entire city.

    This may be proof that even after being abandoned by this city Maiya was still dwelling on Machina’s failure and constantly ruminating.

    “The existence of Hermes is one of the most fatal and dangerous variables among the various variables we assumed when preparing the plan.”

    Maiya said after quickly stopping the bleeding and clearing up the traces.

    “A mind consumed by the ego of a qualified Ascendant can no longer be considered human. “It just becomes a moving part to recall the true self according to the encroached memories.”

    “….”

    “I wanted to be sure to prepare for the risks involved before being deported but…”

    I probably didn’t say this in the hope that Lennok would understand.

    Her words were of a type that could never be understood without some knowledge of Maiya’s history and circumstances.

    But that’s why Lennok understood why Maiya had briefly returned to Machina at this point.

    She did not find a way to correct or fundamentally solve the failure of the Ascension Gate.

    However because he thought something like this might happen someday he returned to Machina to take responsibility for his failure.

    When we met her outside the city she was an outlaw who committed sacrifice slaughter destruction and downfall.

    Upon returning to Machina she was still a responsible guardian and enforcer of the city.
