Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 646
Executor (3)
Atermire, the designer of the Gate of Ascension.
He is the one who designed the supreme project door that risked all possibilities of the machine city Machina.
A researcher whose name was erased from the history of Machina by disappearing with the failure of the plan.
Maya was saying that the very name of Atermire belonged to Dr. Bondi.
‘…Right.’
Although he thought it was surprising, Lennok quickly accepted the fact without much wavering.
Come to think of it, it must have been because there was quite a bit of evidence that the doctor was Attermyer or something equivalent to it.
In Pandaemonium, Maya and the doctor seemed to know each other from before.
The attitude of the doctor who showed interest in researching and researching the information of the old world.
And even the fact that the new statues he had created existed as replicas all over the machine city of Makina.
It is clear that the doctor once conducted research on the old world in this machine city.
And considering the competence and genius shown by the doctor in Pandaemonium, it is not strange at all even if he was directly involved in the design of the Ascension Gate beyond his research position.
But the reason Lennok didn’t think that Dr. Attermyer would be, even knowing that.
It was probably because Lennok thought that the doctor he had judged was not someone who could be tied to one place and devoted to a super-large project.
Although he moves according to the leader’s words, the doctor’s plans and methods are quite heterogeneous and arbitrary even within Pandaemonium.
Lennok did not think that such a person had once been in charge of the design part of the Ascension Gate project as a member of Machine City.
[That’s not the regret I left behind, Mai. I can’t agree with that.]
The doctor laughed through the blood gates Maiya had made in a cold voice.
[All I did was design the Ascension Gate theory into a feasible design. You must have met the price by placing a condition on Jura’s balance?]
“….”
[I didn’t think that the failure of the plan would lead to the void of the old world, but it’s not my regret that I didn’t stop at the point where I couldn’t reach it.] The
doctor’s answer mixed with faint cynicism.
[The idea of bringing meaning out of silence was wrong. Everyone knew that this would happen. Now, what’s the point of getting it sorted out?]
Tak-tak… … .
The doctor murmured along with the languid sound of tapping something.
[It’s just repeating the trouble that won’t end once, Mai… … It’s far from the fundamental answer you’re looking for.]
Knowing how much Maya has a strong obsession with the failure of the Ascension Gate, she doesn’t hesitate to laugh at it head-on.
Rather than feeling responsible or burdened by the failure of the inquiry, he seemed to think that it was a natural result.
Rather, if you listen to the doctor’s words, it seems that Maiya is trying to dissuade him from interfering in Makina’s affairs at this point.
Lennok, who had been silently listening to the conversation from behind, lit up his eyes.
‘Did you participate in the Ascension Gate plan through some kind of deal, but you weren’t interested in the outcome?’
But even so, the fact that the doctor designed the door itself did not disappear.
The doctor seemed to think that his contribution to the plan was insignificant, but Lennok, on the contrary, realized the extent of his competence in his answer.
What does it mean to design the Ascension Gate theory into a feasible design?
A genius that quantifies the possibility of images and thoughts that do not exist in form, and brings them down to the realm of calculation and research.
What the doctor was talking about was the fruit of a talent that reached the pinnacle of theorizing, which even Lennok could not be sure of.
It is no coincidence that Atermeyer is remembered as the designer of the Ascension Gate even at this point in time when the name Atermeyer has been completely forgotten in the city.
It was clear that the doctor’s ability played a key role in the process of designing the plan in detail.
The words of the doctor who blatantly points out the failure of the Ascension Gate and ridicules it.
However, instead of being angry at the doctor’s words, Maya silently watched the blood dripping from her arm.
The dripping blood rises and turns into the shape of a door, connecting the doctor and the doctor, but that doesn’t last long either.
At this point, when it is revealed that the doctor himself has no intention of intervening directly, the minimum result should be left.
What had to be said was decided.
“Hermes is one of the very few ascendants who has ever been with a god-slayer.”
[God killer?]
“Even if it’s not to deal with this incident, it’s necessary to watch the cause and effect. Am I wrong?”
[…] … .]
The silent doctor laughed.
[…] … Right. Was anyone listening? It would have been easier for both of us if we had spoken quickly.]
“….”
Maya didn’t answer any further, but Lennok immediately sensed what the two were talking about.
Hermes is one of the very few Old World beings related to the leader.
That’s why Maya told the doctor the need to watch the progress of the Ascension Gate, even if it wasn’t to deal with it.
However, turning the leader’s existence into a god slayer was just a simple message to keep Lennok from knowing the leader’s identity.
In an instant, the doctor read the intention of the words and noticed Lennok’s existence implicitly.
[good night. If that’s the reason, there’s nothing we can do
about it.] The change in attitude was so cool that it was awkward to hold back.
Maya also nodded as if expecting the doctor’s reaction.
“It doesn’t take long to keep in touch. If you have something to say about the door, listen quickly.”
[Let me tell you…Oh, I see.]
The doctor seemed to think for a while, then smiled as if he realized something.
[Finally, the database has some information about the Old World Ascendant. I will explain about Hermes.]
“…You say you still have information about Hermes?”
[Hermes Orochnier. The Prime Minister of the Ruined Kingdom, the Ghost of Steel, and the Platinum Commander. An ascendant who obtained qualifications by transcending the hierarchy based on the mass magic formula while studying the boundary between material and non-material.]
Without waiting for an answer, the doctor quickly continued speaking in a flat tone.
[I heard that he is a commander of a thousand and has the same strength as an army. It seems that he was an excellent war agent to the extent that his major in the history of the old world would exist in decades.]
“….”
[A cold and mechanical personality. Five countries destroyed. A ruined civilization. He was once revered as a god, but he seems to have no interest in having followers.]
Hearing that, Lennok wondered if there was a Hermes-like existence in WORLD 2.0, but there were no bosses or characters that came to mind.
Was he the transcendental person who existed after he stopped playing World 2.0?
Upon hearing that, Maya also fell silent with a complicated expression, as if lost in thought.
The doctor neatly ignored the reaction of the two and muttered as if looking into an old book.
[I have obtained the qualification to challenge the ascension, but I have never officially challenged the ascension. But none of the Old World Ascendants have tried….]
The doctor’s words, which had been reading up to that point, suddenly stopped.
“Doctor, what’s going on?”
[Whoops… … I think I know why Hermes’ ego existed beyond the door. He had no intention of transcending the world from the beginning.]
The doctor burst into a low laugh and replied.
[I know roughly what to do. There is an arrangement I left behind near Machine City. I’ll send you the coordinates, so you can take care of the rest.]
“Okay.”
Maya responded coldly, rubbing her forearm slowly.
“I’ll listen to the rest after everything is done.”
[as you please. Just don’t get too involved in the void of the old world. You know, but-]
The doctor paused for a moment and whispered over the slowly closing blood gate.
[Because we are already with the most dangerous possibility in that old world.]
For a moment, Maya’s lips twitched faintly. It’s like it’s awkward to call him that.
“It’s a possibility….”
[It is not our job to judge the value of the old world. Don’t forget it.]
The doctor’s voice, muttered in a strange tone, faded and the sound of his footsteps receded.
The sound of small footsteps, as if they had turned their backs on the other side of the door and walked out.
[Everything under absolute standards only exists in the realm of calculation. rest of it….]
Beyond the scattered signs, only the doctor’s message resounded quietly.
Maiya listened to that and slowly rubbed her forearm to stop the bleeding and reaped the blood magic.
Turning around with an expressionless face, she nodded lightly at Lennok.
“I got the coordinates. Just move.”
But instead of answering that, Lennok looked at her blankly and said,
“I know you want to stop Hermes. You think this is one of the predestined failures.”
“….”
“Then why do you need my help instead of coming forward yourself?”
“With the failure of the Ascension Gate….”
After saying that, Maya slightly twisted the corners of her mouth.
As if just mentioning that fact is unbearable.
After a moment of silence, she slowly opened her mouth.
“I put a covenant on the balance and gave up all authority. I am forbidden from interfering with the central system, including Machine City Ex Machina.”
“balance?”
“The balance of Jura. It is a kind of digitized contract created by reinterpreting Gias in the central city of Arsnova.”
Maya explained as if it was not a big deal.
“Because the contract is carried out through the medium of the corrupted status, only high-ranking superhumans are acting as a prohibition that allows them to pay the price.”
“Due to the ban, you want to refrain from intervening as much as possible?”
“It’s not me who suffers from the backlash of the contract.”
Maya’s eyes narrowed coldly as she stared at Lennok with her arms crossed.
“It is the most precious and obsessive value that the contractor put on the balance itself.”
“….”
What she values most is the comfort of the machine city or something that has reached a value equivalent to it.
She was saying that the machine city itself could be destroyed if the ban was violated and excessive hands were used.
“If I went out to deal with Hermes myself, I might end up helping him. I want to avoid that much.”
As an outcast, he is not allowed to even approach because he has been deprived of all authority to intervene in the system.
Even so, Maya is trying to stop Hermes from secretly returning to the city and overturning the entire city.
That would be proof that even after being abandoned by this city, Maiya was still brooding over and constantly recalling Makina’s failures.
“The existence of Hermes is one of the most fatal and dangerous variables among the various variables that we assumed when preparing the plan.”
Maya said after quickly stopping the bleeding and clearing up the traces.
“A mind consumed by the ego of a qualified Ascendant is no longer human. It just becomes a moving part to summon the real self according to the encroached memories.”
“….”
“Before I was exiled, I wanted to make sure I was prepared for the risks involved, but….”
Perhaps he didn’t say it in hopes of Lennok’s understanding.
Her words were of the kind that could never be understood without some knowledge of Maya’s history and circumstances.
But that’s why Lennok understood why Maiya had briefly returned to Machina at this point.
She wasn’t looking for a way to rectify or fundamentally solve the Ascension Gate’s failure.
However, he thought that something like this might happen someday, so he returned to Makina to take responsibility for his failure.
Facing her outside the city, she was an outlaw who sacrificed, killed, destroyed, and destroyed, but when she
returned to Makina, she was still a guardian and enforcer who fulfilled her responsibilities to the city.
