The words of optimism (2)
A state in which tens of thousands of people have come together to form a community. As long as they can only move with their two arms, they can only dig through the ground with their bare hands and roll forward.
The appearance of an existence that insists on extremely primitive movement even though it has a strange power to the extent of gathering and uniting people of that amount.
There is no strong power or presence anywhere in the appearance of the monsters stretching their arms out in front of them as if clamoring.
Tens of thousands of black chains tied around their necks came together and tightly clamped down on their lower bodies.
Lennok, who had been silent for a long time, asked.
“…what the hell is that… … what?”
A world of magic and mystery.
I thought I had seen all kinds of bizarre and mysterious things with my own eyes while spending a considerable amount of time in a large city, but this is the first time I have ever seen such a bizarre and contradictory being.
Even though it possesses physical power and strong infection ability that can change the terrain just by moving, the power felt from its existence is not that great.
Rather than lacking or weak in the power of existence itself, it seems that it is completely restrained and its power is not revealed.
“My human name was Aurel Silford. He is a soldier from the central city of Ars Nova, and hundreds of years ago he was called the most anticipated divinity in Ars Nova.”
The man standing next to Lennok answered silently.
“And now it is a living natural disaster called Ascendant Gyebaek.”
“Gyebaek…? That human orb mass is the Ascendant Gyebaek?”
Lennok also knew roughly what Gyebaek was like.
There are less than 30 transcendentalists in history who have been qualified to challenge the officially recorded ascension, and among them, living beings are within ten fingers.
It was not difficult to study and remember its name and existence.
Among them, Gyebaek, unlike other ascendants, did not fail to ascend to heaven and die, but became a monster who went mad and became something different from humans.
An existence that is no different from a natural disaster that does not listen to anyone else’s words or control, and moves only as it pleases, staining the surroundings with death.
But I never thought that Gyebaek would have such a terrible and grotesque appearance.
Does it not just end with being crazy and corrupted, but has become a phenomenon that indiscriminately makes other lifeforms its subordinates and moves?
Contrary to the noble reputation of challenging the ascension, his grotesque appearance lacks the word ugly.
“One of the ugliest failures of Arsnova, the central city.”
However, Myung’s eyes looking at Gyebaek were somewhat lukewarm.
“Silford had a talent that would go down in history, but Arsnova at the time couldn’t afford it. That’s why I tried to control the direction of his talent’s potential with all kinds of geas.”
“….”
“Even though I was bound by an absurd bondage, I was given the qualification to challenge with just that talent, but I went crazy right after failing as if it was natural. A monster that did not challenge the ascension, but was challenged… … That is the identity of Gyebaek.”
A gias that is a binding and an oath. The more difficult the constraints are, the more powerful and directive they are, but if they are violated, a corresponding price must be paid.
Ascendants forcibly created through forcible transformation and growth by adding all sorts of conditions and restrictions to unrefined talents.
That was the existence of Gyebaek, Myeong was telling Lennok.
A fantasy that every sorcerer has vaguely imagined and thought would never be possible in reality.
Does it mean that the central city directly put it into practice and achieved meaningful results? Even when Lennok heard that, he couldn’t accept it easily.
Magical constraints such as Geass and Trigger are not simply skills that transform humans by adding pluses and minuses to them.
The act of forcibly fixing a person’s identity by digging into the bottom of an image and giving it a corresponding contradiction.
Even if it is forcibly covered, what use is it if the output and intensity of the image of the person concerned cannot withstand it?
How much talent and vessel Gyebaek was born with in his human days, and how strong and solid his mental power was, could this be possible?
Myung didn’t answer and looked away from Lennok, who was lost in thought.
“Arsnova didn’t want to make an ascendant with their own hands. Because they have known for a long time that there is no next time. Just a monster that failed to ascend and lost its intellect… … . I just wanted to use it as a weapon.”
It’s a shocking story.
That the central city, Arsnova, was such an overwhelming yet ugly city.
That there were so many of them that they intentionally failed to ascend to heaven and used the fruit as a weapon to eat.
Even the existence of a person who casually explains all these facts.
“Do you know why I am telling you this?”
A cold smile formed on Myeong’s lips as she glanced at Lennok.
“Because that look, in a way, best describes what we’re trying to do.”
“that is…What do you mean?”
“Arsnova’s commanders tied Gyebaek’s talents into gias and kneaded them until he was qualified to challenge the ascension. However, when Gyebaek failed to ascend to heaven, his identity was completely reversed.”
Myung shook his head.
“The tens of thousands of geas that raised him to a hierarchy equivalent to level 9 have rather become the essence of enlightenment.”
It was only then that Lennok, realizing what Myeong was saying, opened his mouth slightly.
“Wait a minute, then that’s not just a creature…!!”
“okay. The identity of Gyebaek is not simply a monster that failed to ascend.”
Ming muttered coldly.
“That thing is practically no different from a living mass of geas. It is more like a conceptual existence that attaches tens of thousands of geas to one body and binds living beings to it at random.”
The reason why I didn’t feel the magical power and presence to the extent that it was strange compared to that huge weight class and physical power.
It is because the existence of Gyebaek was no longer even a living being in the first place.
It binds the spirits of those who approach it closely, and binds their bodies and existences with Gias to make them part of themselves.
Could it be that the form of putting Geass on top of the human named Silford has been reversed, and life has become attached to the being made of Geass?
Myung, who clearly explained the bizarre and terrible appearance of Gyebaek with just a few words, said:
“In the history of mankind, there has never been a monster that embraced such an enormous geath and became a concept itself. Can you imagine how complicated the flow of causal flow must be in there?”
“…Dangerous. It’s practically like a bomb. No one can imagine its inner form.”
What on earth is going on inside the Gyebaek, which is made up of tens of thousands of geas?
Since no one could guarantee the outcome, such a natural disaster was roaming the continent openly without any hindrance.
As long as the evils and aftereffects cannot be predicted, no one in their sane mind will act hastily.
“The entangled flow of Geass must have already been twisted and degenerated to such an extent that no one can unravel it. The moment anyone opens it, they will be swept away by laws completely different from reality and face a fate worse than death.”
After saying that, Myung laughed meaningfully and murmured.
“Even if it is a foreign agent floating in the dark sea.”
“….”
For a moment, Lennok didn’t immediately answer that question and was silent.
It was because I immediately understood why Myung said such a thing, but on the other hand, I couldn’t understand it.
Realizing why Myeong had said such a thing, Lennok breathed slowly and chose his words.
“Crazy…. Perhaps one of the goals of Pandaemonium is… … !!”
“okay.”
People laughed.
“We plan to use that monster as a bullet to shoot towards the end of the open sea.”
“Nonsense…. At this point, where the hell is the hole to go out to the open sea… … !!”
Lennok also understands that this closed world is not intact and there are fissures that lead to the open sea here and there.
Due to the existence of such a rift, artifacts and technologies from the old world flowed into this world and existed.
However, where in the world is there a rift that can push a monster that has gone mad after failing to ascend to the open sea?
If such a space exists, it wouldn’t be strange if this world was already invaded by monsters from the open sea that came down through the rift.
“A handbook well that exists in the southernmost jungle of the continent. It is one of the very few [Gateways] of which there are less than ten left in this world.”
“The handbook well…?”
The teacher’s words flashed in my mind.
‘I won’t have high expectations. The snake guarding the well was eaten by lingering attachment, and no one will remember my mission.’
Speaking of the snake guarding the well, it must have been a reference to the handbook.
Was the teacher aware of this situation a long time ago?
“At the end of this, you’ll know what we want, even if we don’t like it. But once you step in, you won’t be able to get out.”
Deep black eyes stared at Lennok’s mask.
“I said you don’t have to choose one or the other. That’s not a lie. But being able to choose and having to choose are two different things.”
Myung, who was staring at Lennok, blinked slowly.
“The situation has grown out of control due to the intervention of the senate, and there is not much time now…. It is not just an outstanding superhuman, but a talent that can twist fate.”
“….”
“Ban how are you? Can you say that now you are ready to answer our questions?”
Lennok, who had been silent, spoke after a long time.
“…You already know, but you dare to ask one more time.”
It’s a strange feeling.
It hasn’t even been half a day since I made such a fuss to get my hands on the Archangel’s Tears.
That they had reached the middle of an incident called a clash between ascenders in an instant.
That must mean that the clash between Gyebaek and Handbook happened suddenly, and that Pandaemonium decided that it was an issue that needed to be dealt with quickly.
But apart from that, Lennok had no intention of stepping away from what Myeong was talking about.
Didn’t he pick up the mask in order to understand the pandemonium’s motives and to judge its possibility through this very thing?
As much as the leader and Myung judge Lennok, Lennok must also weigh their judgment and will and check their answers.
“I didn’t come back to rely on the pandemonium. If there are any hidden secrets about Ascension, I will have to see it with my own eyes.”
What you want is always far from your hand. One step closer and one more step farther away.
It would be a lie if I said I didn’t feel helpless, but can I say that there was no meaning to the process of moving toward my hope?
Because I desperately longed for it and struggled, I was able to get my hands on even a piece of it.
Lennok had never doubted that certainty, and Myeong probably lived that way too.
Originally, timelines that could not overlap happened to intersect at a place where they would never meet, and we were able to reach this point.
Nothing has changed between the old days of rolling around in dirty back alleys and now with the great warlock.
Even if it’s not, I believe it’s not wrong.
Click!
Without hesitation, he put his hand into his bosom and put the bright tears he took out from there into his mouth and chewed and swallowed them.
Awesome!!
Lennok, who took the archangel’s tears on the spot, slowly put the mask back on and answered.
“If I hadn’t thought of it that way, I wouldn’t have started in the first place.”
“…Yes, it seems.”
Myeong smiled brightly for the first time when she heard Lennok’s unwavering reply.
Awesome!!
As he opened the door behind the truck bed and stretched out his hand to the sky, a huge black passageway opened in front of the two of them.
The scenery of another region shimmers with a faint haze beyond.
Realizing that it was in the shape of a dense forest and jungle, Lennok gasped and at the same time
[Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa thrwc thih !!!!]
Gyebaek immediately turned around and started chasing this place, as if he had noticed the existence of the two. did.
To be precise, tens of thousands of people hanging on Gyebaek’s entire body.
“When you arrive, the clown will be waiting for you. The South is under his jurisdiction, and he has been appointed as the right person to handle this matter.”
Myeong looked at the ugliness with a calm expression and nodded her head.
“There is so much to do…. However, the required power is far from enough. Can you really be our answer?”
Lennok’s eyes slowly begin to close even as he sees black people screaming and twisting their bodies out of the canal in front of him.
At the point of taking the archangel’s tears, the function of the body itself is completely improved, and the consciousness is suddenly put to sleep.
Myung grabbed Lennok by the neck and pushed the truck into the black aisle without hesitation.
Just before Lennok’s eyes closed and he completely lost consciousness, Myung looked down at him and seemed to smile bitterly.
“I look forward to it too. Welcome to Pandaemonium.”
