Episode 73. We weren’t born into this world because we’re happy too.

“…No, that’s not possible.”

There was one fact that I forgot about for a while, focusing only on catching and defeating.

That girl is a weapon of destruction with an ego.

Even though he doesn’t discriminate between his peers and runs amok, he’s not completely incapable of thinking.

-Gigigeek, Giggeek.

Yeah, actually, when I was injured in the game, I used to get out of the enemy ground for a while to catch my breath.

By the time I realized that and followed, repairs were already taking place in various parts of the girl doll’s body.

“The ability to regenerate sandstone…?”

A large amount of sand iron held in the body.

This iron sand is moved automatically by magnetic force, naturally filling the damaged part or automatically causing the action of replacing the part.

Of course, since it filled the void, it only serves as a first aid measure.

However, such an ad hoc expedient alone could secure enough continuity for battle.

That doll has a structure that allows it to move while constantly restoring its body until the energy that generates magnetism runs out.

From noble mtl dot com

– Hard, hard.

Deus Ex Machina is restoring the broken parts one after another.

Even that is unstable, so my body is squeezing, but only the two clearly opened eyes were directed at me.

“…You, who?”

Ask me in such a state.

“You… What? Identity, what the hell?”

“…I told you earlier. Sensei.”

“It’s not fish.”

It’s not a fish, it’s a teacher.

“You, the same being. I’ve never seen it. Not human… Not human.”

“…If you say that, it hurts the teacher.”

“Humans are weak.”

An answer that comes back terrifyingly.

The head creaked irregularly from side to side, but the girl’s mouth did not stop.

“That nature… I’m weak. Because I’m weak, I rely on tools. That’s why I learned it. That’s why I, made me. My master was like that.”

“…That’s right.”

I don’t deny it.

Humans are weak.

No, to be precise, compared to that lofty ideal, humans are too weak.

The best endurance of mammals and a longevity worthy of being called a species. In addition to high-dimensional intelligence and the ability to manipulate objects, he even has the discretion to handle mana.

However, considering that alone is not enough, mankind accumulates knowledge and builds a civilization in order to achieve something beyond their own strength.

The girl doll in front of me was a weapon created in that process and existed only for destruction.

“But why? Are you strong? Who are you? Someone like me? Weapons?”

“It’s human.”

I answered firmly to such a girl.

I am human.

That alone is an obvious truth that no one can deny.

“I just fight in a different way than normal people.”

“Another, way…?”

“…Yes, in this era, this kind of fighting method is also necessary.”

Perhaps I look very peculiar in that girl’s eyes.

Usually, humans need something to make up for their shortcomings, but I’m used to entering the battlefield without one.

“Humans…”

But at this moment, what the girl cares about is completely different from what I had in mind.

“As expected, humans are still fighting, right?”

“…What?”

“I thought when I first woke up.”

Soon the girl said.

Before he was locked up in that box, the memory that came to his mind was when he had just encountered the secret seller who had excavated him.

“This era. A very long time has passed since before I fell asleep. The place where I lived. It has perished, my master… Has disappeared. Those who have eliminated my master have also perished.”

They must have had a big fight as soon as they woke up.

This girl was created only for destruction.

Yeah, I thought so when I played the game.

“…But still human remains. Prospered, and much more dead than that. Obviously.”

Deus Ex Machina.

This girl was a living history book that remembered the history of the past.

Inevitably, the dependence on religion and the power of vested interests were so strong that it was an unfortunate invention that ended up being buried.

However, through half a century of war, mankind has realized that religion is no longer everything, and has begun to value things that have been neglected until now.

The medicine I learned is like that, and the engineering that makes up this clock tower is like that.

However, even though all of that would make a civilized society richer now, the reason why it was re-evaluated was, ironically, ‘because it was necessary for war’.

“Humans kill each other.”

The girl was aware of that trend.

In the end, all developments made by human beings started from conflict.

“Humans fight each other. Why? Why do they fight?”

It was a mistake from the beginning.

This girl was not created from the beginning with only the assumption of destruction.

“I don’t know. But I do understand one thing. Humanity’s secret wish? It’s a fight… A slaughter battle that covets each other’s lives…”

Destruction is what the people who created this girl, or possessed this girl, always wished for.

After hearing the purpose, the girl thought in her own way and came up with an answer to the meaning of her existence.

“…Even in this day and age, is that what you want?”

As if to prove that such thoughts are not wrong.

The fragments of the past have been maintained until this moment.

“Then what are you going to do?”

“Fight.”

-Kiririk.

Soon after the restoration, blades sprouted again from all over the body.

“I Deus Ex Machina. A tool made for man. And man always desires. Every time, at any time, they crave a fight.”

The blue thunderstorm flowing from the cracks repaired by iron sand spreads excessively and begins to burn away the parts of the clock tower that exist around it.

Koo goong, kung.

The moment when the parts that collapsed through the previous fierce battle fall by gravity one by one.

“Even if it calls for annihilation… That’s what a human being knows and fights for…”

Even though she climbed up to dozens of floors in such a precarious space, the girl did not feel any danger and showed her intent to kill me.

“That’s why I. I fight for humans. Until I exterminate all humans, until the moment this body reaches its limits.”

The final outcome for mankind is destruction at the end of the conflict…

To foresee the future and fulfill it.

In order to become the ‘Deus Ex Machina (Apostle of End)’ as its name suggests.

“…As expected, persuasion is impossible.”

If the kid in front of me was a kid like Dale or Weyden.

Still, it would have provided an opportunity to correct the wrong path in the name of education.

At least, if it was a villain like Reynolds, he could have kept his life alive and handed it over to the court to be justly punished.

But this girl was a tool.

A being who defined himself that way despite having an ego.

Because he realized the end of humanity, he was more committed to achieving that end than anyone else.

Even if the results were extreme, I couldn’t deny the girl’s words either.

Didn’t the greatest scientist that ever existed say that?

If World War 4 breaks out after World War 3, which will take place after nuclear power is created, the fight will begin with stones and sticks.

“So, die…”

-Pazuzu!!

Soon, the blue brains began to gather in both hands.

“Die, human.”

What will spread out at the end is a wave of powerful energy.

In itself, it is the ‘salvation’ that that girl will give to those she faces.

-Quagaga River!!!!

The main gun destroyed everything that passed by, and eventually penetrated the wall behind me and extended out of the tower.

The commotion is great, but there is no building with a height comparable to this floor, so there is no damage…

But I can’t expect such a fluke in the future.

-Kwagang!!

So knock it down at the maximum speed allowed.

-Papa Papang!!

As it is, spurring the collapsed debris, leap after leap repeatedly.

After that, the moment I lowered my head to the sky as if tracking me, the elasticity of the bandages stretched out in all directions sharply changed the trajectory of my body.

The moment when the distant body quickly narrowed the distance.

“Don’t be too resentful.”

The girl noticed it when her hand was stuck in the crack in her chest that had barely been closed by private affairs.

“It’s not even a sport in the first place, so there’s no need to insist on a head-to-head match.”

Draw a heart.

It’s a skill that is rarely used.

The only time I use this skill is when I feel compelled to kill the opponent without saying anything.

“Mu, Son… Kike!!”

The girl’s eyes widened when she saw that it had been pulled out by my hand.

What she held in her hand was a sphere full of blue lightning. It was the power core that this girl possessed, and it could be said to be the crystallization of her endless power.

In the game, the standard strategy is to accumulate damage that this core cannot handle and disintegrate the body beyond its regenerative power.

However, there is no concept of HP, and there is no need to be faithful to such things in a reality where only a vital point pierces one’s life.

“…Oh no.”

Yes, the girl must have realized it at this moment.

I know that if this core is taken away, that will be the end for me.

“No. This, no…!!”

She will no longer be able to live.

She will not be able to achieve what she seeks on her own.

-Pazuzuzu means!!!

As if responding to that will, the core and private iron rode wildly, and at the same time sparks flew violently from the core held in her hand.

The moment when a large burn occurred even in the hand holding the nucleus.

If she hadn’t been reinforced with mana, she would have turned to ashes the moment she grabbed it.

“I’m disappearing. That’s not okay…”

Unfortunately, however, it is not only this girl who is desperate.

Since she realized that persuasion itself wouldn’t work in the first place, she couldn’t continue fighting for a long time.

– Blame it!

The temperature rapidly dropped from the hand that accepted that will, and frost began to sprout on the back of the hand.

A medical ice cradle (cooling cradle).

This grip that takes heat to the limit makes it possible to withstand even a substance that emits thousands of degrees of heat with bare hands.

-Kwadeuk!!

In this way, the core was completely taken away by my hand, and before long the girl’s body began to plummet to the floor.

“Big, uh… Ah.”

Is it painful?

No, there must be no sensory points. If I had felt pain, I wouldn’t have been so rampant in the game.

But the absence of pain does not mean that there is no ego.

“Turn…”

Even at this moment, the girl’s body is losing energy.

The energy that keeps the ego disappears.

“Give it back!!!!!!”

The current heartbreaking cry is the result of the last outburst before the ego is destroyed.

-Quaaa!!!!

A powerful wave of power that spreads out with such a shout.

The unsteadily rampaging mana spread around, destroying everything it touched.

A site where the parts of the clock tower, which had been maintained in a dangerous balance, collapsed one by one.

The only way to get out of that disaster-like scene is to move upwards.

-Kudangtang, kwagang!

Huge parts.

While everything that made up this space was falling one by one, the girl was approaching me to pursue me.

Even when the body collided with the collapsing rubble, parts of the body creaked or crumbled and fragments exploded.

From noble mtl dot com

Only maddening obsession turned towards me.

“Little boy.”

She asked as she etched that pitiful figure in her eyes.

“Why are you fighting?”

“That’s right, because it was made…!!!”

The answer came right back.

At the same time, the distance rapidly narrowed…

No, my speed, unable to find my footing, slowed down for a while.

“…Was it your will that was created?”

But the questions do not stop.

Because I was so curious.

Whether this girl is desperate is really her own will.

“No… No.”

The girl denies the question.

She said that birth was not what she wanted.

“But it was made, everything. So I follow. For human beings… That is the purpose of my existence…”

“…Heh heh, to follow that it was made.”

That’s really funny.

Having an ego means that you exist and can act on your own.

Is it reasonable to have to follow someone’s orders just because it was made by someone?

“Yes, neither do we.”

But ironically, I felt sympathy for that girl.

“We too.”

If humans can’t lead their own lives with their own will…

“No human being was born into this world with a good start.”

Just following other people’s words……

It’s nothing more than a tool with an ego.
