Cybernetic Supernatural (2)
Drurrrrrrr!!
A huge wave of steel that rose like a tidal wave was absorbed into Treffen’s humanoid body.
A heterogeneous landscape in which waves of machines centered on a single person rotate and converge.
Trefen’s body does not change even after absorbing metal hundreds of times his size.
However, the metal and weight compressed to the limit will be accumulated inside his body and converted into terrifying power.
[Give up,]
Treffen declared.
[If you give up control of the calculation center and step down now, I will spare that one life.]
“….”
[So you can watch how I trample that filthy city on the spot.]
“I didn’t know the fortress commander had such a benevolent personality.”
Lennok let out a sneer.
“Do you think of saving the enemy in front of you while you can’t give up bombing megacities?”
[Of course. Because all of this started with the city council’s arrogance and failure.]
Kuuuung!!
As soon as Treffen took a step forward, the deck collapsed and sank.
Having absorbed tens of thousands of metal parts, Trepen’s weight was far beyond that of an ordinary human.
[I don’t want to give up the ownership of the defense supplies and military weapons, so I’m still holding on to the prohibition law. After defeating you, where is the person who can stand up for the city council?]
“….”
[It won’t take long. I will march all the way to the Central Council, tear off the limbs of those who deceived me, and display their corpses on top of the Council.] The wall
of the mechanical sphere squirms behind Trefen, who has gathered his body into one.
Dozens of thick wires protruding from between the walls were spliced together behind Trefen’s back, charging the power source.
Lennok looked at him and laughed impatiently.
“lieutenant general. Do you still not see that what you are saying makes no sense?”
[What are you talking about?]
“You talk about your longing for ascension, and now you’re talking about revenge against the city council… … It’s inconsistent for a transcendent who threw off the hierarchy.”
[…] … .]
“Or is it just that you still haven’t made up your mind about who you are?”
Treffen’s inorganic metallic skin twitched faintly.
He stuttered as if he didn’t understand Lennok’s words. A voice mixed with dissimilarity rang out slowly.
[no…. I’m going to ascend to the city council to the end… … no revenge… … plural? Why did I have to take revenge… … ?]
“….”
A truly haunting monologue.
Lennok nodded, realizing why Gearside hadn’t actively used this method before.
“Is the ego shaking this much in the process of escaping the hierarchy…. The failure of the Gate of Ascension must have been like this.”
The spirit of a 7th level Ascendant who has lived for nearly a hundred years must be like a solid rock.
If even Treffen’s ego, which must have had such strong mental power, is shaken so precariously, it is not difficult to predict what will happen if he is forced to go through the rank process against others.
Could the failure of the Gate of Ascension, which was carried out in the highest secrecy in the machine city of Makina, also be rejected as a fatal side effect like this?
“I guess this is why the researchers were sticking together inside the sphere to assist the lieutenant general. Was it going through adjustments even to the shaking consciousness in real time… … .”
After Lennok, who took control of the computational center, infiltrated Gearside’s backup network and erased their consciousness data, there was no manpower left to balance his ego.
At this point, which side will Treffen’s doctor give priority to?
A desire for ascension instilled in him and a personal feeling of seeking vengeance from the City Council.
The fact that the ego is shaking means that the two priorities are colliding at the precarious boundary of consciousness.
If it were a simple machine, it would decide and follow the principles of action through neatly given data, but Trefen was essentially a human being, even though he changed his body into a mobile fortress.
Will data infused with the value of consciousness, which has not changed for decades, be able to win?
The answer came not long after.
[…] … It’s a useless worry.]
After he cut off his stuttering voice and raised his head, Treffen’s face was distorted like a demon.
[Enough to think about it after killing you and burning Vulcan!!]
“Am I putting off making conclusions at this point… … . He was a much more boring person than I thought.”
Though Lennok thought so, he turned his head to the back.
At the same time that Treffen finished the adjustment, the army of machines newly restored.
However, they completely subdued the forces seized by Lennok, and at some point, not even a trace remained.
Treffen was disassembling all the parts used to form the mechanical soldiers and converging them into one place in his own body.
Charreureuk!!
“Maximizing combat ability against individuals…. You thought it was going to be like this from the beginning anyway, didn’t you?”
It must be to gather all the power to deal with Lenok while maintaining only the shape of the mechanical sphere to compose the body.
The reason why it maintains the shape of the mechanical sphere like this is probably because it is difficult to discard the merit of the power to manipulate space-time inside the microcosm.
However, Lennok listened to Treffen quietly, even though he had clearly guessed all of this.
Lieutenant General Treffen is, in a sense, a person with physical abilities of the highest rank who has cast off humans in the most perfect form.
In a physical sense, how far can his consciousness and personality, which have completely replaced his existing body except for his heart, be maintained and altered?
For Lennok knew that if it were not now, he would not be able to appreciate it.
[…] … Heh.]
Trefen, who had been silent, let out a low laugh.
The sound of laughter was so ugly that it was unbelievable that it belonged to an old man over seventy who had maintained a solemn tone and demeanor until this point.
[If you knew, why didn’t you run away earlier?]
Treffen whispered like a child and took a step forward.
Woooo!!
Heavy footsteps echoing close by. The weight had already swelled up enough to shake the entire mechanical sphere.
“I can’t.”
Lennok, who accepted the shaking as it was, also moved forward without hesitation.
Looking at the profile of Treffen, who had abandoned his human body but still hadn’t abandoned his own face, Lennok said.
“I, too, from the beginning…I thought it would be like this.”
The steel angel with dozens of wires spread out like wings behind his back and the sorcerer holding a cigarette stride forward and cross each other.
At the same time as the two people’s mana surged, the mechanical sphere tilted sharply in an oblique line and stumbled.
Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!
In the blink of an eye, dozens of magical lights come and go and explode in multiple bursts.
The rain of thunderbolts that flashed down in the air met the frozen ice sheet on the ground and exploded, pushing huge flames between them.
It is not strange even if the whole body is torn to pieces just by standing there, it is a spree of firepower.
It twists and degenerates the mana it has once wielded to the limit, turning it into a blade that can reach the opponent’s vital points and wield it.
Trappen moved straight through the gap between the flashing heat wave and the flow of lightning.
[Die.]
Fighting!!
With just a light swing of the fist, the entire atmosphere around it bends and draws enormous wind pressure.
The weight of an absurd body compressed to the limit. In addition, the amount of impact maximized by manipulating the space inside the sphere is amplified and poured out beyond the theoretical limit.
Illusion that the sight is distorted.
The moment he sensed the pressure pressing down on his shoulders, Lennok also lowered his mana and swung.
[Rainbow Light]
Pajijijik!!
Dozens of lightning bolts exploded from under his feet, accumulating in the shape of a well, forming a giant lightning barrier that surrounded Lennok in an instant.
Immediately after, he took the pressure from above his head.
bang!!
The remnants of the electric shock that couldn’t overcome the shock exploded as they were and scattered across the deck, but Lennok’s body was intact
.
Whee-ae-ae-aeg!!!
The mana compressed to the limit centered on Trepen’s right hand rotates counterclockwise, drawing a narrow spiral.
Beyond the trephine’s offensive, which stabbed like a flash war, the faintly staggering landscape of spheres made us realize its power.
puck!
It penetrates Lennok’s head and sprays hot blood.
“There must be conditions.”
A fleeting moment when motion ceases. Lennok’s voice came from behind Treffen’s back.
At the same time, Lennok’s head was pierced and disappeared like a haze, and the magician bursting out of it wrapped itself around Trefen’s body like a spider’s web.
said Lennok, crouching behind him, with one hand resting on the floor.
“Even if you can touch the space, that is interference as a result… … . Is it a power confined to the battle element that confines consciousness?”
[…] … ]
“The reason why I increased the weight of the body to the limit is probably because I thought that moving the body could be done by borrowing the power of leaping into space.”
Lennok smiled as he looked at Treffen’s back, who hadn’t looked back.
“Even with a mobile fortress this sophisticated as his own body, he still intends to overwhelm me with a power struggle in the end…. Truly, it is an honest idea like a soldier.”
[You talk a lot.]
Patter!!
As Treffen turned around, the hundreds of strands of magical power holding her body were cut off.
[Are you the type to flirt like that even while shaking hands?]
“If necessary.”
Every time he lightly swings his arm, the air in the area is staggered, and a feeling of heavy pressure spreads out in all directions.
It goes without saying how powerful the weight he absorbed into his body, leaving only the minimum parts needed to maintain the mechanical sphere, was converted into powerful force.
It was only for a moment that a body of that weight could be held.
But to the magician, that fleeting moment is like an eternity.
At the same time as he made the hand sign with his hanging hand, the [Thunder Light Crystal] burst out, and the fragments of the lightning that scattered began to gather in one place.
A well from which lightning bursts. It was a short time, but the shock wave that seeped through it reached several times the magic power Lennok used.
Pajijijijik!!!
Hundreds of electric shock fragments swirling in the sky above the mechanical sphere rotate in a spiral and plunge to the ground in an instant.
Treffen, who noticed the abnormality belatedly, tried to cast Space Leap, but it was too late.
[Magic Concentration]
[Convergence]
[Potential Resonance: Harmonix]
[Collective Deflection]
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
A pillar of light spinning in a spiral struck the middle of the deck where Treffen was standing.
A quadruple chant that concentrates the magical power that has undergone transformation to the limit and explodes in resonance, gathering the bursting firepower and striking it.
The firepower concentrated in an instant was so powerful that the entire lower deck evaporated, revealing the bottom of the machine sphere.
Powerful heat enough to vaporize even steel.
[It’s a really beautiful lightning spell. An old man with a hardened brain like me can’t even understand the principle.]
However, even during that time, Treffen’s consciousness did not shake at all.
There is not even a hint of agitation in Treppen’s voice as he looks up at Lennok with a half-melted face from the lower deck of the evaporated deck.
[However, if this is your strength, it’s disappointing. For talking so confidently… … .]
“….”
[Isn’t that really an ugly level?]
His words and actions were extremely provocative. You can feel the vivid waves of magic that he spews out the moment he is certain of his victory.
The fact that he just received the attack with his bare body without dodging it wasn’t proof of how confident Treffen was in his power right now.
Weight beyond limits. And the ability to move regardless of its weight.
It is impossible even for Lennok to guess how far Trepen’s power, which embodies the contradictory sides of heavy and fast at the same time, will reach.
So just cut it.
Lennok looked down at Treffen and smiled.
“I think you are misunderstanding something. I didn’t just use magic to kill you.”
[Are you bluffing until you die?]
Lennok said, looking at Treffen who shook his head.
“I just gave my partner the power he needed.”
[…] … What?]
Tak!
At that moment, something appeared beside Treffen who had dug into the basement of the deck.
One head taller than Trepen. Four legs with profuse fur. Long, pricked ears and a tightly closed snout.
Even the three tails wagging slowly.
Break, break, break… … !!!!
A fox with a dazzling electric light flashed all over it and looked down at Trefen.
At the feet of the brain spirit that had never been seen before.
Waves of achromatic colors spread slowly.
