Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 564
The One Who Shuts Down the World (2)
Area 25 is designated as a closed area and is completely isolated from the outside world.
The time and space of the past, left behind in the timeline of decades ago and separated.
However, that phenomenon did not occur because Kaise succeeded in space-time fixation research.
The conclusion of a study that should have ended in failure. The existence of someone who uses the closed area as a cradle to continue the past time.
Lennok and Kaise had intended to find the dreamer in this space-time and completely solve this gap now.
Even after making such a serious resolution, the two were still bickering over how to handle the fixture.
“That’s why you can’t completely stop the fixture now. How have you been listening to me all this time?”
“As long as the power source exists on this side, it can be activated again at any time.”
Lenok responded by manipulating the instrument panel in place of Kaise.
“It is better to stop the device once and find out the problem. Why are you interfering?”
“No, not obstruction, but correction. From the point of view of the magical particle observation theory, there is no turning back from the moment the internal particle flow is observed. We need to find out the cause before stopping the device.”
“In the realm of fixed space-time, the indeterminacy of magic particles is meaningless. In the first place, that is an old theory that cannot explain the spiritual resonance of mana.”
Kaise frowned at Lennok’s answer.
“…damn it It’s been less than 5 years since I announced the observation theory at the Trabach Magic Tower, and it’s already become a piece of paperwork?”
“Once you understand, slip back and wait for my instructions. It is exhausting to explain to a researcher who has been behind for decades.”
At Lennok’s words, Kaise furiously twitched his eyebrows.
“Ho-ho-oh…No researcher could say that to my face… … .”
“Now that we have one, you can be happy.”
“….”
Kaise, speechless, grumbled endlessly behind Lennok.
“I guess this meant that if you met a person from the future, you would lose your luck. I found out the truth I didn’t want to know… … .”
“Who do you think is really unlucky here right now?”
While arguing without losing a single word, the hand tapping the instrument panel moves busily.
Kaise, too, was busily moving around the pillar of light, constantly adjusting the power unit to eliminate recoil as much as possible.
Koo Goo Goo!!
“Still, my opinion is not different. It’s dangerous to ambiguously stop the fixture in any way, given that things have progressed this far.”
On the outside of the fixture where light bursts out, Kaise said, sweating profusely.
“Are you sure you backed up the data on the fixture when you exploded the power chamber?”
“The presence or absence of the fixing device is highly likely to have little to do with this phenomenon. I would have said.”
Lennok also responded while manipulating the instrument panel non-stop.
“Even before we completed our research, this space existed. There ‘s a one-in-a-million chance that something will go wrong if the device stops working now—”
“There exists one in a million. Isn’t it?”
“….”
Lennok raised his gaze at Kaise’s trivial answer.
“What if, by chance, the device stops working and we find ourselves in a situation where we can neither die nor live?”
“Kaise.”
“Once this is successful, I will disappear along with this space. But it’s not just because I really want it.”
Casey said quietly.
“I know there is no other way, so I just want to end it in the most certain way. Such halfway compromises are unacceptable.”
“It’s a halfway compromise….”
Lennok quietly chewed on the words Kaise had uttered.
Because he is convinced that he is a being of the past. Because I understood that this situation itself was a space created by someone other than Kaise.
Kaise wanted to put everything aside and tie a solid knot to this world line.
But that did not mean that he had given up the will to live or that he had ceased to crave answers.
I know that I still have lingering feelings for myself, so I want to take action so that there is no room left.
Because without that, even Kaise himself couldn’t be certain how he would act at the last moment.
Lennok, who had reached that point, involuntarily averted his gaze and muttered,
“You don’t believe in yourself.”
“Do you mean that?”
Kaise laughed and hit the parts of the fixture roughly.
Clap!
The junction of the device was damaged by the touch, and the light of the light source gradually faded.
“Since I embarked on a journey to find answers, I have never once believed in the answers I came up with.”
Kaise started to walk as he watched one side of the huge pillar of light gradually fade and then disappear.
Crunchy!!
The pillars of light fade little by little, with the power joints ripped out and the output overloaded and destroyed.
The shape of the fixture, which blooms like a flower petal, curls up every time the light goes out and gradually returns to the shape of an egg.
Kaise said as she walked restlessly around the fixture.
“Alkaid knew a lot, but most of it was just knowledge of the results of failure. In the end, it was entirely up to me to move toward the answer.”
“….”
It was the first time that Kaise had spoken about what Alkaid was like.
“Every moment was a time to shake off doubts and delusions. It was overwhelming just to fall, break, and fail. After decades like that, he created a city called Balkan… … Gathering infrastructure and resources, we finally got here… … .”
Kaise, unable to speak for a long time, slowly hit the last power joint and broke it.
Whoops… … !!
In front of the two, the fixture returned to the shape of a giant egg.
Kaise gazed at the egg-like device with an indescribable expression, then slowly walked down between them.
Kaise, who had been silently staring at Lennok, smiled helplessly.
“But sometimes you have to end a trip in an unexpected place. yes?”
“….”
Lennok couldn’t answer.
I don’t know what to say in front of him who is trying to tie a knot in his own time.
If the ending that came to Lennok one day was this way, would Lennok be able to understand and accept the situation?
The strength to accept even irrationality and absurdities that have nothing to do with one’s will as one’s own will.
Kaise’s self-righteousness was a determination to never share such pain and suffering with others.
As Lennok manipulates the instrument panel in reverse order to end it, the joint of the fixing device is burned and it is broken and falls off.
The shape of a huge egg that gradually loses its light and sinks.
Kaise stood in front of him and slowly closed his eyes.
“Cut off the backup power completely and format the system. At that moment, I will unfold the magnetic realm and find the dreamer myself.”
Only his voice echoed quietly on the top floor of the ventilation tower.
“If I reverse the time itself when the fixing device existed with my magic, there will definitely be a crack somewhere in this space. And next you… … .”
“You mean wake me from a dream?”
“…It won’t be difficult to finish your dream itself if you just find it. Especially if the one who created this space is what I guessed.”
It was only then that Lennok realized the real reason why Kaise needed an opponent unaffected by the magical powers of the reversal.
It wasn’t just that I needed help getting the fixture off.
The image drawn by Kaise Bajour’s magnetic realm must be a landscape based on the magical power of the reverse sky.
The only person who can help Kaise unaffected even in the midst of images where all power flows backwards.
From the beginning, Lennok’s task had been decided.
“Wake up from a dream….”
However, instead of mentioning the fact, Lennok changed the topic by touching the instrument panel.
“When I asked if it was foreign media that dreamed of, you only said that you were comparable to them. A specific answer was avoided.”
Looking at Kaise who didn’t answer, Lennok said.
“That is to say, proof that the current situation has nothing to do with the open sea, but at the same time it has some connection with you.”
With Darby’s help, Lennok asked, inputting format codes into all systems in the instrument panel in turn, leaving only the last backup power supply.
“It was Alkaid, right?”
“….”
“When you knew you were a person from the past, you knew that he was the dreaming being in this time and space.”
Lennok continued without waiting for an answer.
“That’s why I was able to accept that it ended like this. Because you knew that this was one of your own failures.”
endless silence.
However, Lennok did not lose his composure and waited for Kaise’s words to follow.
The roar of battle reverberating around them gradually faded, and the shockwaves exploding from all directions faded.
“okay…. That is why I did not have the slightest doubt when you gave it the name at first.”
With the night sky gradually but surely quieting in front of him, Kaise quietly opened his mouth.
“Because I felt uncomfortable with this situation itself and thought he sent an assistant to solve it. I thought maybe you were another being who deserved it.”
“….”
“But it wasn’t like that. If you really had that qualification, space-time fixation research would never have succeeded in that way. At that moment I… … .”
Did he think that everything surrounding him might be nothing more than fragments of the past?
Kaise knew from the beginning that the cause of all these phenomena was the dream of a being called Alcaid.
“Right.”
With Lennok shutting down the backup power system for the last time and running the format, the joints of the giant egg began to close.
What a profit… … !!
The shape of the fixture being closed. The huge pillar of light that was shooting up into the sky disappears, and a clear crack peeks out into the night sky.
Kaise stood in front of the fixture watching it, and Lennok raised his mana right in front of him.
Woooo!!
The moment the magnetic domain was deployed, he had to keep his consciousness upright without being eroded by the magical power of the reverse sky.
“You will have to be careful.”
Looking at Lennok’s approaching figure, Kaise spoke quietly.
“He wasn’t that kind of person when he and Alkaid devised this research. But the fact that things turned out like this must be proof that either the future me or Alkaid changed their minds.”
“….”
“At worst it might be both….”
As Lennok raised his hand and placed it on Kaise’s shoulder, the air around him began to twist slightly.
The magical power of the reverse sky twists the whole space-time and stands up, turning into a scaffold to unfold the imagery.
Standing on top of the faint ripples spreading under your feet, Kaise continued to speak.
“If you successfully solve this problem, you must go back to reality and see the truth. At the time, only a handful of powerful people, starting with the market, were aware of the whole story of the project, excluding those involved.”
“I remember.”
It’s the mayor of a big city.
Come to think of it, not a little time had passed since Lennok had been active in the Balkans, but he had never seen the mayor’s face.
If there was no news of a change or death of the mayor, it would mean that the person who rose to the top of the city decades ago is still in that position.
Or is it that such a person is still alive and doing his official duties?
Although he knew that John Mayer’s ultimate goal was the mayorship of the Balkans, Lennok had never really thought too deeply about the position itself.
Maybe that in itself could be a clue.
While Lennok was lost in thought, Kaise hesitated for a moment and was silent.
“And and…Yes, I have to tell you this.”
As if he had put something down, Kaise slowly closed his eyes as if he had made up his mind.
“Alkaid is….”
Pooh!!
Kaise’s body trembled once, and at the same time he stood tall.
His face lowered his head with a slightly dazed gaze.
The ink-colored hand sticking out from the middle of his stomach pierces his stomach and aims for Lennok’s heart.
However, in the end, it did not reach Lenok’s heart, and the figure of his forearm shrinking without being able to penetrate the shield.
Suddenly, the huge eggshell behind Kaise’s back was shattered.
An ink-colored shadow protruded from the inside of a fixture that had been completely closed and was thought to be broken.
Something resembling a human figure and exuding an infinitely heterogeneous atmosphere, as if it were not human at all.
It seems as if they are imitating humans by condensing the starlight and the Milky Way in the night sky.
[That’s what dreaming means, after all.]
The shadow whispered in a tone as if gently caressing the heart of Kaise, whom it had shattered.
[Things that can disappear like bubbles at any time while chasing an unattainable ideal.]
“You…!!”
Kaise looked back in disbelief, convulsing.
[This is the last promise left to us and the first message to the failed world line.]
Patter!!
The shadow that casually wiped away the pouring fresh blood raised its gaze slowly.
His directionless gaze was directed not at the collapsing Kaise, but at Lennok, who stood beyond it.
[From now on…I will deliver the legacy that Kaise Bajour left before he died.]
