Electric Civilization (4)
Numerous firearms were seen installed along the beach of the Kingdom of Dionas.
There was a royal castle beyond a forest as thick as a jungle, and colorful birds were flying in the sky.
Sirone, who was on the Arachne sailboat, first banned the refugees from approaching.
“There might be artillery fire. Let’s wait here for now and I’ll go up to land.”
Then the sound of a cannon exploded.
Shirone and his group turned around, but what was shot into the sky was a firework filled with colored paper.
Then, frivolous music sounded and a speedboat quickly approached.
“stop!”
The Knights of Arachne aboard the speedboat talked with the pirates and returned.
“Khalt, King of Dionas, has sent a welcome notice. “They say they will take you to the royal castle.”
Cairns, who read the official document, crumpled the paper and said,
“Hmph! How shameless. “You ordered your younger brother to attack us, and now you’re letting him in?”
Sirone said.
“Maybe they thought fighting on the sea was their only chance. Anyway, we will go. “Ara Kne, what are you going to do?”
“…Of course I should go. But we won’t dock sailing ships. “It’s impossible to go back with treasure without knowing the enemy’s plans.”
Therefore, a small team consisting of Cairns, his attendant Sirone, and an apostle was formed.
“I’ll go too.”
Ran Qi intervened.
“Please let me go with you. It will be helpful. After all, first impressions are important.”
“You?”
In a way, Cairns was dissatisfied with it because it was the most important tribute in the negotiations.
“This is enemy territory. “If you put yourself in danger, you may be at a disadvantage in diplomatic warfare.”
“But I don’t think it’s more comfortable here. The safest place is…
Rangi hugged Sirone’s arm.
“Isn’t it right here?” Cairns looked blank, but couldn’t think of anything to retort.
“Are you going to be okay?”
Sirone knew why she was willing to take the risk of following her.
‘To help me.’
Also, in the case of Rangi, it made sense to say that the boat was more dangerous.
“Let’s go together. After all, Jacques is in our hands. “I don’t know how much the hostages are worth.”
A total of 11 people landed on Dionas’ speedboat.
While crossing the jungle, I saw a complicated path made of plywood between the trees.
There were countless small guard posts, and a murderous spirit that could not be hidden oozed out from within them.
Poine smiled.
“Their hostility is embarrassing. Of course, even if I hid it, they would have noticed.”
Because the road was rough, Langi and Cairns reached the castle with the help of magic several times.
“Is this Wangseong?”
It was a brick building that would have been popular 300 years ago, and was the size of a monastery in the central continent.
“Your Majesty is a simple person. “You pursue a remote island without any greed for money or power.”
Poine laughed at the Shinigami’s explanation.
“A person like that would ask me to kidnap a pretty girl? “Hungry, what meaning does the pirate’s words have?”
“Do not insult His Highness. “If you try to read his thoughts, you will face death.”
The feeling that it wasn’t a lie could be seen even by looking at Jakra, who was terrified.
When the gate was opened, pirates were lined up along the red floor.
It was certainly a prayer worthy of a pirate’s subordinate, but Shirone focused on the person in front of him.
“Kalt.”
A man with flowing red hair greeted them with his palm exposed.
“Welcome travelers to the Holy Land of Peace.”
While most people use whole-tone intonation, Kalt’s intonation consisted mostly of semitones.
“Don’t worry about anything. As long as I am with you, nothing can harm you.”
That strange accent was unpleasant, artistic, and like human trash.
“I am the Five Stars of the Ivory Tower.” Sirone stepped forward.
“Your own brother Jakra attacked our ship. “You will have to give a proper explanation.”
Kalt examined his younger brother with an indifferent gaze.
“You’re not going to say it’s something you don’t know, right? “This guy confessed everything last night.”
“town! town!”
Jakra was already out of his mind as he shook his head and shook his head.
“Yes, I sent my younger brother. “To meet my soulmate, Rangi.”
Kalt placed his hand on his chest and lowered his head.
“I am just grateful that you personally brought me here. “You’re still beautiful, Rangi.”
Langi felt electricity passing through his body.
“Oh, by the way, I see you trimmed your bangs. “About 2 centimeters or 2.3 centimeters.”
If you’re a delicate man, you don’t like rangi, but if it goes too far…
“Eyelashes. The thirteenth eyelash was curved by about 0.7 degrees. Where did the fluff that was 7.3 centimeters above your wrist go? “It’s my favorite fur.” Mental vomiting is flooding in.
“There is no need to be afraid. Because I won’t touch you. No, there is no need to touch it.”
Kalt’s eyelids began to flutter.
“Because I already feel it.”
He let out a moan as if he was slowly crawling out, and continued speaking while drooling.
“I feel everything. Your body, your reactions, even your thoughts… Ah, I have just become one with you. integrated. “It feels amazing.” Ran Qi’s face was in tears.
‘no. ‘I don’t want to die.’
I wanted to grab Sirone right now and scream that I couldn’t live with this person.
“It’s called integration.”
Sirone asked with a serious expression.
“What are you?”
Rangi’s ability to see through everything can be explained by the effect of electromagnetic fields.
And it reminded me of Sirone’s concept of a special sense.
‘Ultima System.’
The secret will be electricity.
In fact, wasn’t the Ultima system adopted by Babel also in the form of electricity?
‘If the universe was born from electricity, it is no wonder that Gunggam is electricity.’
One of a kind, the first of its kind.
“Who am I?”
Kalt said.
“He who feels the waves of the whole world. Ah, the one who is nothing. A person who could be a god or just fertilizer.”
Sirone was sure.
‘Similar state to when Babel absorbed the Ultima system. It’s impossible to explain with just the five senses…
but you can feel it.
If that huge feeling had dominated him for more than 10 years, it was understandable that he was out of his mind.
“It seems like you don’t even know, so I’ll tell you. Kalt you are sick. “You need to get treatment.”
“therapy? “I’m sick?”
“okay. It’s probably because of the opats. I don’t know how you got it, but that’s what made you like this. I will help you. “Where is it now?”
I meant it sincerely.
This was also the reason why Kalt, who had not listened to anyone until now, remained silent.
“I was sick…
It wasn’t Sirone’s voice, but the sensation felt as a wave, that was conveying the truth.
The pirates raised their weapons.
“majesty! Don’t be fooled! “These guys are trying to take Opats away from us!”
In fact, they had never seen Oparts.
It’s just that everything has been going well since Kalt’s personality changed 13 years ago.
“Opats? “Oh, you mean Myka.”
Kalt stretched out his hand into the air with a faint gaze.
“It’s a beautiful place. Can you see it? It’s here now too. “It’s floating around in the air.”
He suddenly came to his senses and looked back at Shirone.
“Do you want to see it? Should I show it to you too?” This time Poine stopped him.
“Messiah, this is dangerous. “No action should be taken before it has been thoroughly analyzed.”
It made sense, but Sirone’s frequency was already resonating with Kalt’s.
“You say I can go, Maika?”
“No, I’m not going. That’s what they call it. Yes, it definitely feels like I’m being called.”
‘They are.’
What you say with your 5th sense may become something completely new at the 11th sense level, but…
“Okay. “I’ll have to see for myself.”
I thought there was no reason why I couldn’t go to a place that Kalt went to safely.
“Come this way.”
As Kalt pressed his temples, blue electricity began to swirl in his eyes.
After a while, I stuck my tongue out and there was a thin rectangular metal plate on it.
“what?”
Arachne’s officials whispered, but Sirone did not look particularly surprised.
‘Living things cannot create machines. Hence the quantum phenomenon. Maybe Kalt…’
Couldn’t it have already become Opatz?
“Messiah, this is really dangerous. “Please refrain from planting foreign substances in your body.”
“are you okay. Yes, it is a substance made from the five senses. “I will be able to control it.”
Sirone asked after examining the metal plate Kalt handed over.
“What should I do now?”
“I don’t know. Wouldn’t it be okay to just plug it into my head? “I did the same to my subordinates.”
Sirone pressed the chip behind his ear.
‘It doesn’t go in.’
In the end, the bone needs to be drilled, but can that really be called a function?
“are you okay. trust me.”
Kalt’s blurry eyes diminished trust, but Sirone strengthened his fingers.
“Hmph!”
Did they really pierce the bone?
That didn’t happen, but electricity flowed through the metal plate and penetrated Sirone’s mind.
“Huh!”
Sirone raised his head, a blue light flashed in his eyes, and a magnetic field surrounded him.
“Messiah!”
Kaios and Poine, who had thrown their bodies away, felt a familiar shock and frowned.
“Keuuuu!” I feel like my brain is on fire.
If they went any further, their memories would be damaged, but the two apostles held out their hands until the end.
“Me… s… ah… Kalt muttered just before Caios’ hand, wrapped in electricity, touched Sirone.
“Meet them.”
“Aaaah!”
The moment the two apostles threw their lives, Sirone’s body disappeared in an instant.
“where? “Where did you go?”
Kaios narrowed his eyes and pointed his sword at Kalt.
“This is your first and last chance. Where did the Messiah go? “If you don’t want to die, you have to tell me.”
“well.”
Kalt had a somewhat sullen expression.
“Perhaps… the terrible truth.”
The ultra-ancient civilization Myka.
“Huh! “Huh!”
Sirone waited until the blue color that seemed to surround his retina disappeared.
When my vision opened, I looked around.
“Myka.”
The reason we could be sure was because it was different from any other area in Omega.
The city was built in terraces and had numerous buildings like a real civilization.
‘It’s not civilization.’ However, when we entered the building, we could find no traces of anyone living there.
‘This… is some kind of device.’
I felt like the entire city was a machine built for one purpose.
When we arrived at the center, we saw curved towers that looked like horns standing 20 meters high.
“…I don’t know.”
There were letters carved along the tower, but none of them could be deciphered.
‘The Ultima system doesn’t work.’
Sirone trembled before the conclusive evidence that it was a signal that did not exist in the universe.
‘If there is an outside world…
the closest imagination would be an upper class implemented based on the mechanism of apocalypse.
‘Actually, that doesn’t make any sense.’
This is because if you endlessly go down from reality, the end of imagination is reality.
‘No one will know until they see it for themselves.’
Sirone took a deep breath.
‘Let’s come to our senses. It doesn’t matter what’s there. What really matters is…
why it exists?
“huh?”
As if it were a distant memory, the city shook and electricity began to flow through the ground.
“Ugh!”
As I felt the electric current and gritted my teeth, an opaque curtain spread between the two towers.
Inside the curtain, a huge eye was watching Sirone.
