Infinite Mage - Chapter 497
[497] Afternoon of the day (5)
“Too…”
Kanya uttered unconsciously.
“Run away.”
Babel didn’t answer.
It was a command that could not be followed due to the priority of the Syrone Algorithm.
But to Kanya, algorithms didn’t matter anymore.
It is because the face of the most important person who had to leave a year ago overlaps with the appearance of Babel who protects her and Lena.
‘Mom…’
Babel is not a mother.
Because they are not living things, they do not feel pain and because they have no life, they have no fear of death.
It was completely different from the mother who willingly accepted death for the sake of her children without expressing her pain.
“Run away! I don’t want to be helped by the likes of you!”
But why are the tears flowing?
Even now, the death of my father is clearly imprinted in my head, so why does my heart hurt so much?
“Babel protects Kanya and Lena.”
The vibrations of her torso bursting and cracking mixed with noise in her audio system.
“You are the enemy! You killed my dad! you killed my dad! You are not a mother!”
“Babel pays a price when the war is over.”
“no! I mean no!”
Kanya hugged Babel and cried.
Even though I felt so unfair and resentful at the thought that there was still someone protecting me, I felt regret for not realizing it a little earlier.
As Girshin’s attack became stronger, Babel’s aircraft began to shake more violently.
The red panels embedded in Babel’s eyes flickered, and machine fragments resembling human flesh spurted out like a fountain from behind.
It is dying.
Clearly, Kanya felt that way about Babel’s condition.
“What if I leave like this! you will kill me! I will kill you in the most painful way!”
Machines don’t die.
only disintegrates.
Babel decided that the information should be passed on, but erased the sentence immediately before output.
“I feel no pain. But…”
Kanya, covered in tears and snot, looked up.
For the first time, a clear voice with noise removed leaked from Babel’s still cold face.
“Maybe this is the pain.”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.”
A crushing sadness weighed on Kanya’s heart.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you until the end.”
As the red panels of the Babel burned brilliantly, Kanya shook her head like a child and shouted.
“no! don’t do it! It’s an order! according to my instructions! I mean don’t do it!”
Given an impossible order, Babel searched for answers for a while, but there was no option to stop her tears.
Maybe it was an illusion, but Kanya thought that Babel had a slightly troubled smile on his lips.
– Execute self-destruct mode. Map weapon Babel.
Babel, who risked everything with a probability of less than 0.1 percent and endured destruction so far, raised its output to the maximum.
“Oohhhh!”
As Girshin glared at the shattered back of Babel and struck the final blow, a flash of light was fired from the glass sphere that served as the muzzle for the map weapon.
“this…!”
As the glass sphere shattered, the photoelectric cannon spread carelessly.
A flash of light devastated the area around the rear radius, and there was nothing left where it passed.
-Target removal failed.
After accepting the final signal from the central device, Babel did everything possible to restart the aircraft, but there was nothing he could do as it was horribly destroyed.
As soon as the short name
‘Kaña…’ was entered into the calculation device, all devices were cut off and eternal darkness came.
“no! wake up! I can’t die! I mean get up again!”
Kanya hugged the upper body of the barbell and sobbed. I missed the machine I hated the most in the world.
* * *
Babel’s photoelectric cannon devastated a 2km radius to the rear.
It was such a reaction speed that even Girshin of the world could not be sure of life or death.
However, since it was only a family, his expression was not good as he stood on a plateau 3 kilometers away from the battlefield.
The moment Babel’s muzzle caught the light, about 100 glass plates around him flashed and moved the space.
signal.
All giants know that Ikael’s triangular mara is Ashur’s ability.
‘Ashur. Ymir’s rival.’
Girshin glared at Ashur with a kind eye.
It is now a thing of the past to compete for the position of the best military commander in heaven, but Ashur was still a thorn in his eye as he thought that Ymir was the best.
“I don’t say thank you. I could have avoided that kind of surprise.”
Even if he was second in the ranks of the giants, if the opponent was the archangel’s triangular mara, he wouldn’t be in a position to stand up for himself, but Ashur didn’t care.
If pride had been important to him, he would not have evacuated Girshin in the first place.
“Don’t underestimate Babel’s computational power. It was unpredictable. Would you admit it too?”
“Hey or not. If you die, you die. Running away is not to the taste of giants.”
“no. Further battles are pointless. All we can do is minimize power loss for the next war.”
Girshin frowned and asked.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Victory is just around the corner.”
“I still don’t know what lies at the end of this war?”
“We only fight. The outcome is irrelevant.”
“Then let me tell you this. Why is Ymir still not moving?”
Girshin was silent.
Ymir’s animalistic intuition has already reached a level that is so transcendent that it cannot even be called the realm of animals.
“Is this… not the end?”
Ashur nodded.
“Currently, Satan has descended on Jebul and is destroying the angels. The human side cast a powerful magic that aimed directly at Arabot. Whichever comes first, if things go on like this, heaven will perish.”
Girshin’s expression began to grow serious.
“But Captain Ymir is not moving. So…”
“Yes.”
Realizing that no further explanation was necessary, Ashur cut off his words and concluded.
“Soon the will of Ra will be invoked.”

The Second Thousand Rakia.
Gangnan, whose wrists were tied, was standing with his legs half untied in the Hall of Corruption object < Jachung >.
< Jachung >‘s ability is limited to absorbing power, but it was fixed in space using henna, an angel’s ability.
After being tortured all night, Kang Nan’s face was horrendous and his strength was so weak that he couldn’t even control himself.
The biggest problem was the eyes that lost their vitality.
Gaold does not come.
It was more understanding than resentment.
I was convinced that I could do it because I watched how intensely Gaold lived to save Miro.
“It is past noon. It seems to have abandoned you.”
Yuriel, who was floating with her arms folded outside the castle wall, looked over the destroyed bridge and said.
Gangnan did not answer.
I already knew it, but admitting it with my mouth was a completely different matter.
Uriel slowly turned around and looked back at Kariel standing next to Kang Nan.
‘I’m more weak than before.’
The greatness of angels comes from the mind, so the trauma directly affects their sense of presence.
Although Rayel canceled the stop magic, the humiliation suffered by humans further hurt Kariel, who was already weak.
Dark shadows fell under his eyes, and his handsome face was dried up, devoid of any Archangel’s authority.
Whoa oh oh!
A gale blew in from Arrabot.
Just the sand mixed with the wind hitting the backboard made Gangnan feel the pain of burning his skin.
‘Life is… pain.’
I said so.
Gaold.
“I will begin the execution of Kariel-sama.”
The fallen angel Mauriel approached and asked for permission, but Kariel was still silent.
After being subjected to human magic, his hatred for humans deepened in his weakened mind.
The question was, what was the source of that hatred?
‘I…’
Since when did you start to hate humans?
The doubt that Kariel had never thought about met exactly at the point of contact with the question that Uriel had always thought about.
‘Yes, Kariel. Isn’t it strange indeed? Angels are great, but humans are confused. Are we really…’
Are we really superior to humans?
There is no future of Heaven without an answer to that question.
That’s why Uriel decided to watch Kariel’s long fight to the end, and it finally came to fruition.
“He is coming.”
All the remaining fallen angels and Maras in Rakia turned their heads to the plain in front of the wall.
Mikea Gaold, who had made them realize the terrible desires of humans, was moving slowly.
“Why…?”
Kang Nan looked at Gaold with a shocked expression. It was an unbelievable sight even after seeing it with my own eyes.
When Uriel landed on the ground, Gaold stopped walking.
“Where is the maze?”
“…”
Gaold looked up and looked at the gangan without answering.
She was carrying all her weight with her hands in handcuffs, her clothes were torn and there were numerous scars.
Gaold, who had been looking at her for a long time with an expressionless face, suddenly opened his mouth and smiled coolly.
“Quack. You got it right, mutt.”
“this…!”
Gangnan, who gritted his teeth and squeezed his strength, shouted.
“You fool! Why the hell did you come here!”
It was an honest feeling of gangnan.
It’s a maze that was recovered, but it’s the time I ran only for her, so what am I supposed to do when I give up everything and come here?
“Seeing how rough your mouth is, it looks like you can still hold on.”
“go back! I mean go to the maze! Have you forgotten what it cost you to come here?”
“Yeah, I forgot.”
“…what?”
Kang Nan was at a loss for words at the words he uttered so easily and put on a dazed expression.
“I forgot what price you paid to save me until now.”
Kang Nan, who had tears in his eyes, desperately held back the cry that was about to vomit.
Did you know?
I’ve never talked about it and never wanted him to know.
Therefore, Gangnan could be satisfied with this.
“okay. so go back Because I’m fine… I’m begging you… Go find happiness.”
Gaold took another step.
As the distance with Uriel got closer, all the fallen angels flew in and surrounded Gaold.
Gaold, forced to stop again, looked up at Gangnan and raised a corner of his mouth.
“Don’t be too angry. Even if you don’t notice, I’ll leave on my own. But before that, shouldn’t we keep our promise?”
Gangnan’s lips trembled.
‘no. Do not say.’
“I said I would never leave you again.”
My heart started beating wildly.
A benevolent smile, rarely seen on Gaold, conveyed a feeling of extreme unease.
Gaold did not abandon the labyrinth nor did he come to save himself.
I was thinking of getting rid of all the hatred I had built up towards the world through 20 years of suffering.
Mauryel approached with a sneer.
“I must have told you to bring Miro. Do you think you can go back alive even if you violate the offer?”
“Haa this one and that one…”
Gaold lowered his head and sighed softly.
And when he raised his head again, the good face had disappeared before he knew it and he had returned to the mad wizard again.
“I’m going to get annoyed and go crazy.”
As the forgotten nightmare from 10 years ago resurfaced in his head, the blood drained from Gangnan’s face.
“Don’t…”
Gaold’s eyelids quivered as he stared up at the sky, and his pupils slowly began to roll up.
“Don’t do it…”
Gangnan sobbed uncontrollably as tears poured out uncontrollably.
“Don’t do that… mister.”
At the same time, all of Gaold’s hair stood on end.
‘Goodbye, damn world.’
Perseok!
All the fallen angels surrounding Gaold disappeared as if they had evaporated, leaving only a few drops of liquid behind.
apperception.
100 million times.
