Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 654



The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 654

Qualifications for Ascension (4)

Hwioooo!!!

“Everyone step back!! “Never touch the door!!”

“If you make even the slightest mistake you will be sucked in. “Make sure you stay away from the door!!”

All of the Psysquad agents retreat in cold sweat.

“Contact Ex Machina. “Request a reconsideration of this operation immediately!!”

“I can’t contact you. The communication network was completely cut off…!!”

Tduduk-

At that moment a dull roar sounded as if the sky was breaking.

Immediately afterwards the members of the shadow unit were trampled on the spot crushed into handfuls of flesh and exploded.

“Kwaaaa!!”

The members who were struggling and screaming desperately disappeared as if they were being sucked into a huge ring of light.

At that moment the dazed eyes of Hermes seemed to return to focus for a moment.

Every time Hermes absentmindedly gestures all matter that exists with mass is crushed and sucked into the door.

The shape of a gigantic gate that crushes and devours all humans and natural objects except for Hwadeokjingun’s workshop which stands firmly supported by the gate’s foundation.

Hermes who was sitting on the pure white throne and staring at Lennok’s face laughed.

“Even while I was falling asleep I was very curious about that face. “It’s been a long time since I’ve wanted to see someone’s face.”

“….”

“How about this door?”

Hermes asked without waiting for Lennok’s answer.

He was sitting on the throne in a somewhat drowsy manner as if he was about to fall asleep at any moment.

I ask Lennok even though I am out of breath as if it is difficult to continue speaking.

“The greatest failure of the Machine City. “On the entire Eastern Continent a more brutal and complete crash would be rare.”

“….”

“But the people of this city carelessly threw their fate beyond the gates to preserve this failure.”

Hermes laughed.

“Between that regret obsession stubbornness and delusion I responded-”

“People who have given their fate to the other side of the door.”

Lennok interrupted Hermes and asked.

“Was Hwadeokjin Army one of them?”

“….”

The beautiful appearance of the workshop tower looks like several palaces stacked on top of each other.

The remains of the Ascension Gate and the white throne located in the center were revealed only after the entire workshop facility was overturned.

It would be rather strange if there were no arrangements made by someone in this space which was prepared to open the door at any moment.

And it seemed certain that the person who designed this plate was Hwadeokjingun the maker and owner of the workshop tower.

Hwadeokjin’s death was not caused by someone’s assassination or an accident.

From the beginning he had planned to use his attack as a foundation for reopening the Ascension Gate.

In order to leave meaning behind the failure of the Ascension Gate Hwadeokjin offered himself beyond the gate.

Lennok muttered as he thrust the revolver forcefully between Hermes’ eyes.

“Three answers to one failure… It’s ironic but it’s understandable.”

The Ascension Gate reached the destroyed second world without providing an answer to the next and the answers left behind were different for each person.

Maiya accepts Atermire who did not attach any significance to the failure and tries to make things right. Unable to acknowledge it Hwadeokjin sets out to find meaning by sacrificing himself.

Even after not finding an answer someone’s lingering regrets spread in different directions.

Even the stubbornness that echoes without finding meaning ends up becoming another answer.

“I thought you would understand Lyman.”

Hermes nodded.

“If you still came to your senses after seeing that memory on the other side of the door it must have been because you came to the same conclusion as me.”

“….”

I remember what the leader said at the end of the labyrinth.

The question and answer of finding a new answer before it’s too late even if it’s in a direction I never wanted.

I didn’t understand what that meant at the time but now…

“If someone needs to accept a wish that cannot come true I will become that person’s inevitability.”

Hermes’ transparent eyes flashed and he slowly opened his arms.

“If that is the only answer that goes beyond salvation then join me…!!”

Taang!!

At that moment the revolver in Lennok’s hand fired and the bullet lodged itself in Hermes’ heart.

The bullet fired like an arrow pulsates slowly like a heart and penetrates the solar plexus precisely.

Immediately after it pierced Hermes’ heart and disappeared as if it were being sucked through the door behind the throne.

“…ah?”

“No that’s it.”

Lennok said to Hermes who was looking down at his chest blankly.

“The doctor is right. The idea of ​​bringing out meaning from beyond the door was wrong from the start. No matter how great something remains within it…”

In the end memory of the old world’s heritage information is only a means.

Values ​​and answers that did not succeed in ascending to heaven cannot become new answers in this world.

Hermes summoning the spirit of the ascendant is nothing but his stubbornness to repeat his failed answer once again in this world.

“….”

Patter!!

Blood pours from a hole in Hermes’ chest.

Recognizing Cheon-gyeon’s intentions the shape of the door was distorted greatly like a crack in a glass window.

Quick!!

An illusion arose as if the huge ring of light floating on the wall of the workshop was suddenly broken.

It seems as if the balance in the seat is off and it is shaking and crumbs are falling little by little.

The ripples that gently undulated behind Hermes’ back trembled and twitched irregularly.

Blink blink.

Even the shape of the light becomes faint and even the brightness that dazzlingly brightens the entire workshop fades away.

The remains of Seungcheonmun that existed in the Hwadeokjin army’s workshop.

The Gate of Hermes which was forcibly completed using the Machine City division transfer is collapsing and collapsing as soon as it is completed.

“Cough…! okay….”

Blood leaking from a hole in the chest.

The fresh blood dripping between the lips stickily runs down the neck and wets the collar.

However Hermes was more interested in the identity of the bullet that Lennoc had just fired than in his own dying body.

“The will of heaven… I thought it was all used up as a milestone but I never thought there would still be such precious things left….”

What Lennok used as a revolver bullet was a catalyst created by directly materializing the thoughts left behind by Cheongyeon.

It is one of the unique solutions that the two of them split after Maiya learned it from the gods.

The Ascendant’s powerful intention fills the void of the old world connected beyond the gate and destroys the entire system.

The iron discipline of receiving back more than what you give.

The moment you sacrifice the will of the ascendant which cannot be established within the law the exchange fee is ruined and the function of the door collapses.

Cough.

Even with his blood-covered face Hermes couldn’t help but laugh.

The sight of him coughing non-stop and laughing at the same time.

“The Ascendant’s will which was the far-sighted in this world… If it distracts the door instead of guiding it it is natural that the system itself will be broken….”

“You are not an ascendant. “It’s just an incarnation consumed by his memories.”

Lennok said massaging his sore hands.

“….”

“If the spirit of the ascendant does not respond beyond the door won’t your existence which existed without being bound by the body also disappear?”

The reason Hermes has been able to exist changing bodies until now is because he was a being deeply engulfed in the memories of the ascendant beyond the gate.

However if the Ascension Gate system were to be broken Hermes would not be able to exist in the same way as he does now.

That would be no different from true death even for Hermes himself.

Lennok was asking whether Hermes himself fully accepted that fact.

However Hermes chuckled as if Lennok’s words had no meaning.

“Lyman what does that mean? In this world we don’t even get what we deserve and are dying every moment.”

“….”

“As a seeker looking for answers even after confirming Moon’s memories… are you not stopping to consider death?”

Hermes chuckled and laughed.

“That’s not the salvation I think of… If the plan had succeeded everything would have been swallowed up and disappeared… That’s a meaningless question and answer.”

“okay. “I guess so.”

Lennok responded and slowly placed his hand on Hermes’ shoulder.

The image of Hermes leaning helplessly on the throne looking as if he might slip at any moment.

“But I believe that even the questions and answers are a process to obtain qualifications.”

Fear of death. Longing for life.

If Lennok had not fully recognized and accepted that fear and hope he would not have survived.

The same goes for the ending where the answer is not set and the end that approaches at the end of cause and effect.

The despair that the next does not exist is always directly connected to the obsession with life.

At the point when he denies that fact or thinks it is meaningless Lennok becomes different from when he first fell into this world.

It’s no different. doesn’t change

Even as everything around him changed Lennok was trying to remember his wish from that first moment.

“It’s a process… hoo hoo….”

Hermes’ eyelids fluttered and then slowly lost strength and began to droop.

The exhaled breath begins to suddenly slow down and even the heartbeat quickly stops functioning.

A cessation of normal life reactions completely different from the time when he survived for a long time after his head was cut off in the psychic hall.

As the door system is broken Hermes’ ego is also rapidly losing its power and disappearing.

Hermes muttered in a heavy whisper breathing hard.

“But I…”

Hermes’ breathing stops before he can finish speaking.

At the same time the flow of the door that was sucking in everything in all directions stopped completely and the ring of light floating above the throne collapsed.

Wow!!

A roar that shook the entire Hwadeokjin army’s defense. Hermes’ body whose breath was cut off by the shock also shook greatly.

The storm stopped and silence came like a lie.

Lennok who was looking at Hermes’ body lying limply on the chair stepped back.

Fight!!

The armored wings that had been inserted between the thrones came off and supported Lennok’s body instead.

[Check that the Ascension Gate function has completely stopped. The program code has been copied up to the matching rate.]

“…okay.”

After hearing Dabi’s report Lennok slowly caught his breath and turned around.

The Side Squad agents glaring at Lennok with an expression of disbelief.

It’s not that they didn’t want to get involved in this situation.

However considering Lennok’s status and Hermes’ safety the hesitation prevented him from approaching.

Lennok accurately captured that moment and destroyed Hermes and the Ascension Gate itself with a single bullet.

This is the end of the operation agreed upon in advance with Maiya. From now on this is an area that must be navigated through thorough self-judgment.

“Escape from the defense tower and immediately escape pursuit. “If you think about the remaining magic power maybe twice-”

The moment when I made a quick decision and spread my iron wings wide and tried to escape from the top of the defense tower.

A voice echoed from behind Lennok.

“Still I believe I am not wrong.”

A calm and clear tone that is completely different from before when he was dying helplessly.

The magnitude of the intent contained in that tone was so powerful and powerful that even Lennok had difficulty judging it.

“…!!!”

The moment Lennok turned his gaze and raised his magic power.

A pure white wave burst out from behind the limp Hermes’ back staining the heavens and earth pure white.

Paaaaaa!!!

A twist in the law of expansion of thought with a magical kick.

There are no foreshadowings in achieving a series of miracles.

As it unfolds it invades reality overturns the laws and turns all existing substances into its own.

Kiyiing!!!

All the inorganic substances present in the Hwadeok Jingun’s workshop are transformed into pure white gold and sparkle.

The agents shouting and screaming with urgent expressions froze as if time had stopped.

At the end of the empty timeline only the bodies of Lennok and Hermes retain their color.

No can the being that spoke to Lennok now be called Hermes?

Whoop!!

Someone slowly walked out from behind the white throne holding on to the shoulder of Hermes who had lost his breath.

As if creating one’s own body on the spot the platinum material coils and rises transforming into the shape of a human being.

It turned into an appearance that was completely identical to that of Hermes who had lost his breath.

A human body that is strangely devoid of any presence.

The pupils are pure white not to mention transparent. He said as he faced Lennok with pure white eyes that had no focus.

“When looking into someone’s memories you have to be wary of peeking into your inner self.”

“….”

Every time Lennok couldn’t hide his agitation and slowly backed away.

He also naturally took a step forward and opened his mouth.

“It is not pleasant to have precious memories shared but there are facts that can be known.”

“you….”

“You more than anyone else I’ve seen show your inner thoughts.”

he laughed.

“So I wanted to meet and talk in this way.”

A subtle smile that looks like a smile with only the corners of the mouth pulled up with an expressionless face.

It’s awkward as if a being who has lost all humanity is forced to imitate people’s laughter.

But Lennok had no answer to his smile.

This is because I intuited the fact that the words he spoke and the attitude of asking for conversation in this platinum space and time that were now unfolding were pointing to a possibility.

This being standing in front of him is not the Ex Machina member that Lennok has dealt with so far in Machina.

“Since when?”

Lennok asked quietly.

“If you want to get something from beyond the door you have to pay. But you completed the Gate of Ascension and did not pay the price. There was no time for that. rather….”

“A price is something you have to pay to get something that belongs to someone else.”

He answered quietly.

“That’s why I don’t pay. “There is no reason for that.”

“What is that…”

“More than anything…”

He glanced away and looked at his own corpse lying on the throne.

The smile on his lips seemed to regain its liveliness for a moment.

“[I] don’t talk flippantly like that Lyman.”

Lennok realizing the meaning of those words closed his mouth.

It’s definitely true.

The person standing before Lennok’s eyes now was not the member of Ex Machina who had been consumed by the memories of the Ascendant and had mistaken himself for a Transcendent.

The Prime Minister of a ruined country the Ghost of Steel and the Commander of Platinum. A war agent who destroyed several civilizations.

The great spirituality he sacrificed his life to call forth from beyond the door.

A true transcendent who obtained qualifications in the old world.

Ascendant Hermes Orochnier has descended on the third world.
