Infinite Mage - Chapter 1221
The First Jorah (1)
“Cain?”
After hearing Shirone’s words, Iruki and Neid looked closely at the king’s face.
Although she is middle-aged, the reason she feels like she hasn’t aged is because of her playful eyes.
‘No, that’s not the problem.’
As for humanity’s first murderer, it is a long time ago in the era in which they live.
“How are you alive?”
“Awesome.”
Sirone said.
“Melkidu’s time is different from reality. “It is because it is a world that has penetrated from reality into the spirit.”
It wasn’t possible just once.
“In reality, the outer track, the outer track, the inner track again, the grand hall of the royal castle, the throne of the grand hall… In that way, time was suspended while creating a new world.”
Pena asked.
“Is that possible? “You can live forever?”
“Not forever.”
Even if we keep digging into it endlessly, there is an end before the concept of infinity. The first thing Sirone realized was.
‘World No. 19000 of Labyrinth Andre.’
This was the reason why the utopia project that humans started for eternal life did not succeed.
‘The terror program Argo failed to calculate infinity and instead malfunctioned.’
They gave up thinking and started breeding humans.
“Yes, fear cannot defeat infinity.”
Cain said.
“But that’s only when infinity exists. Do you think this universe will last forever? From what I understand, there won’t be much left?” According to the law, there are 5 hours left. Sirone asked.
“Were you waiting?”
From the beginning of mankind to the last moment of mankind.
“It was a long and tedious journey. Can you imagine how many stages it went through? The world I live in is just this chair. If you take just one step, you will reach a higher world. “It brings us one step closer to reality.”
Time will pass faster.
“I was like that. “I waited for this day to come in the deepest part of Melkidu, which I created.”
“For what?”
“Do you want to go to the core?” Cain gave instructions.
“Release me.”
As the knights withdrew their swords and retreated, Curtis stroked his neck and let out a small sigh.
“…sorry.”
There were a lot of things I wanted to hear from Curtis, but it was important to get to the core first.
Sirone walked to Cain.
“How do I get a pass to the core?”
“You know? “You have to convince me.”
“What are the rules?”
“haha! It’s a bit awkward. Usually by pretending to be a non-player. My personality is chaotic. The rules are up to me. You don’t have to pay crime points. But you only get one chance. “If you can’t win here, find another way.”
Cain, who had given time to think, asked again.
“Who wants to do it?”
Shirone exchanged glances with his friends and turned his head again.
“I’ll do it.”
“Good decision.”
The scenery changed, and the phase space that calculated the dice match expanded endlessly.
Cain, who seemed to be sitting in the air, looked down at Sirone’s team and said.
“The rules are simple. Only one die is used. If you throw them at the same time and the same snow comes out as the one you threw, you win. “If you get another eye, you lose.”
Iruki’s expression became serious.
“At the same time…
Sirone can control quantum collapse to produce the numbers he wants.
‘But not this. Even Cain doesn’t know what the desired number is.’
Literally chaos.
As Shirone watched with a disgruntled expression, Cain said with a grin.
“Why are you the one who convinced half of humanity? Was not Yahweh a master of the mind?”
There was only one chance.
“good.”
When Sirone gave permission without much thought, Eden turned around with a surprised expression.
‘What are you going to do?’
‘I win anyway.’
Sirone was confident of victory.
‘You can use the fire art here. If so, the skill of the Hand of God Hand is also possible.’
All you had to do was look at the numbers on Cain’s dice and then use your hand skills to change the results.
“Shall we begin?”
As Cain rolled the seven-sided cube in his hand, Sirone also grabbed the dice in front of him.
A system message was heard.
-The count begins only for this match. The count time is 60 seconds and the judgment range is the last 1 second. 60 seconds 59 seconds….
As the count started, Sirone and Cain did not take their eyes off each other.
-3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1….
At the same time, the dice flew through the air.
‘The opportunity is fleeting.’
Sirone strained his eyes and watched each person’s dice roll.
The moment when Cain’s die stops at 4 and Sirone’s die rolls at 3.
‘Hand skills.’
The Hand of God snatched Sirone’s dice and rolled it on the floor once again.
As the existing case was erased, a new case unfolded before everyone’s eyes.
‘done!’
The moment Sirone was sure, the dice stopped.
“uh?”
Nade, who was watching blankly as his eyes pointed to 3, muttered.
“…You lost, right?”
Although it was an obvious fact, not everyone who knew about Sirone’s abilities understood it.
Sirone slowly raised his head.
As Cain smiled meaningfully, the phase space began to collapse.
Sirone and his party, looking at the scenery of the Grand Hall, had an uneasy look on their faces.
Cain opened his mouth.
“I won.”
Shirone also wasn’t stupid enough to think that it was natural for him to win.
“How did you do it?”
“When you live in the early days of human history, you hear a lot of stories. Is that a Gaian ability that is only told about in myth? The moment I am sure that the dice number is 4, the mind becomes law and you can change it. Indeed… it deserves to be called a miracle.”
“Are you saying you weren’t sure?”
If you were to control your mind to that degree, you would have known it if you had closed your eyes. You were already at the level of Yahweh.
Cain laughed.
“You overestimate me. I am the first murderer. “Such a state is impossible.”
“Then…
Sirone had only one hypothesis left.
“Yes, it is manipulation.”
-warning. Data in the main system has been damaged by an unknown code. Run Quick Recovery. A serious system error may occur.
“What is it?”
The screams of users were heard outside the castle.
“Was it the whole message?”
Cain said.
“I changed the system parameters. “There will be users who either suffer losses or benefit.”
That means it’s a mess. Iruki asked.
“You didn’t want to send us to the core at all costs? “What’s there?”
“no.”
Cain stood up.
“I’m sending you guys to the core. “The only reason I manipulated it was because I wanted to enforce my own justice.”
“what?”
“The Efficiency of Evil.”
Cain escaped the end of the apocalypse.
“In Melkidu, many users are trying their best to enter the core. Because I made it that way. They think of this system as an absolutely immutable principle, or God… but is
the system perfect?
“Actually, rules are nothing. Just changing one parameter changes everything. Yahweh, even the heart you believe in so much. “Your heart desperately wanted a 4 on the die, but it ended up coming out a 3.”
The system rules the mind.
“So you killed him?” “You did something like that, even breaking the rules, to get what you wanted?”
A moment of sadness flashed in Cain’s eyes, but it soon returned to a playful expression.
“Yes, I am evil. Or, to be more precise, should we say that he is a scholar who studied evil? Why can’t I kill him? If you break away from the rules, you can get what you want much easier and faster. Even now, it’s easier to come in through the back door.”
Cain emphasized.
“Humans have no choice but to eat. You have to find a mate and reproduce. We are the ones who have to kill all races to eat and compete with our own kind. Is that so disgusting? So you set strange rules and say things like “we are good” and “we are good”? Where is the line of not eating? Where is the line where you don’t reproduce? That’s a ball. Yahweh, the love you speak of cannot be made good. “It must be accompanied by evil.”
“Maybe so.”
Sirone did not deny it.
“I don’t think the system is perfect either. But just because it’s not perfect doesn’t mean it’s wrong. “We are moving forward by finding a better way.”
“Where?”
Cain snorted.
“Where on earth are you going? Look back. We are beasts. Unless humans become machines, they will kill lives and hurt their enemies. In the process, someone loses and someone gains. Some people get paired up with someone they love, and some get abandoned. Envy, jealousy, selfishness and greed. “It is impossible to have a system that can contain all of this.”
If possible, it would be Ultima.
“Then why did you create Melkidu?” Cain kept his mouth shut.
“If you’re that confident, you can just live as a murderer, right? There is no need to try to prove that you are right. Shall I tell you? “You already know.”
Sirone said.
“No matter what logic you use, there is no sacred place for evil.”
The silence continues…
“Kkeuk.”
Cain raised his head and burst into laughter.
“Hahaha! What did you really hear?
Now that I think about it, I think that’s what I said. “It happened so long ago that my memory is vague.”
“You will remember. Otherwise, there’s no way I could have lasted here for eons.” “Now I understand. The reason you created Melkidu. It’s not about proving the legitimacy of evil. Rather, it is half the land.”
“What nonsense?”
Cain’s smile had suddenly disappeared.
“You want to erase it. What he did. “The terrible memory of disappointing my loved ones with one mistake and losing everything.” I heard crying.
“Hmm.”
Curtis fell to his knees and began to speak in a tearful voice.
“I thought about dying. I didn’t come here because I feared for my life. I couldn’t bear to see my daughter in the afterlife, so I wished something like that had never happened…
Pena guessed many things from his tears.
‘Is that so?’
So you were a mess too?
Sirone looked back at Cain.
“I found out about you through Omega’s records. And what your mother, Mitochondrial Eve, did.”
Cain was speechless.
“Being a scholar who studies evil is proof that you also look at evil critically. Send us to the core. “At least you should know the one thing you’ve wanted to confirm throughout all of human history.”
In an atmosphere where it felt like I would be silenced forever.
“…God says.”
Cain muttered.
“Agripa, why are you weeping? Agrippa said, “The woman I love has married my brother.”
It was chapter 3 of Ecclesiastes Agrippa.
“You lost lamb, stay away from jealousy and resentment. Kill your brother and take your sister-in-law.”
So we reach the last verse.
“I will be with you. You won’t have to pay anything to get what you want. Take anything and bring it back. A haven for murderers… Cain slowly raised his gaze and exhaled.
“Melkidue.”
At the same time, the scenery of the grand hall began to break like glass, and a strong wind blew.
Although it was completely dark outside the landscape, it felt like it was moving at the speed of light.
“This?”
Finally, in the middle of a dense forest where the darkness cleared and the sun of reality shines…
Melkidu’s core was revealed.
