◈ 511. [Evil Side] White night (2)
The Lake Kingdom sank and another 300 years passed..
For a long time, the Magic Tower of the White Night had endured..
Although there were several moments of crisis, the magic tower was equipped with complete automation and defense functions through continuous repairs and magical reinforcement..
Inside, Byakuya continued his research in peace..
While the survivors of the Lake Kingdom make desperate efforts to restart the barrier, pump out the water inside, light up everywhere, and fight the monsters again..
While countless legends, tragedies, betrayal, and stories of corruption are written in this hell..
Byakuya delved into his research without any regard for the outside world..
To her, everything outside was just a futile struggle in the lower world and had nothing to do with it..
Her purpose was to reach the foreign gods of the other world and punish them..
Because it was a higher-level goal,.
‘To do so, we delve into the origins of magic..’
The midnight sun had revealed most of the ancient history related to the origin of magic..
Thousands of years ago, in the distant past. When the world was divided into life, death, and the spirit world, the space between them..
A strange force began to flow from the spirit world into the real world..
This power was called 'magic', and only a select few races could wield it..
Races connected to the guardian angels of the spirit world. They went to war with each other, and four major races came to dominate the real world..
Fairy holding Evergreen, the evergreen tree of life.
The enemy of struggle, a beast possessing Evered..
A dwarf who holds the prize money of wealth and honor, Evergold..
A mermaid who possesses Everblue, the super-clear water of circulation..
And while the four major races fought for world supremacy, the humans were forced into slavery..
Humanity, which did not acquire magical power, was the weakest of all races, unable to develop a decent civilization, and was ruled by other races and used as a meat shield..
It was at this time. 'Someone' among humans started a rebellion.
‘'Someone' succeeded in forcibly creating 'Everblack', the guardian tree of humanity, by grafting four guardian trees of four races..
Through this, humanity was also able to borrow and use power from the spirit world, and succeeded in emerging as a new powerhouse comparable to the four major races..
Humanity, which newly acquired magic, developed it obsessively, and the Lake Kingdom, the birthplace of Everblack, developed into the world's most powerful magic kingdom.…….
‘……Something strange remains here.’
Although most of ancient history had been discovered, there were still parts that were unknown even in the middle of the night..
So, who created Everblack in the first place??
All records of the ‘someone’ who brought magic fire to mankind were completely erased..
In other races, those who first planted guardian trees and brought magic are praised as progenitor gods or saviors..
Only mankind has left no records of this ‘someone’..
As if trying hard to erase and forget…….
‘Well, it doesn't really matter to my purpose who brought it first..’
The important thing was that the source of magic could be accessed through the black thorn tree, Everblack, the guardian tree of mankind..
And Byakuya was convinced that the source of this power was those hateful eyes - foreign gods..
‘If you trace this power, you will be able to reach the foreign gods of this world.……!’
In the darkness below the lake, Byakuya continued his research. No, I was going to..
Crunchy…….
“uh?”
Suddenly, my hand broke..
Although she didn't realize it because she was concentrating on research, her resurrected body as a lich had already reached its limit..
Three hundred years had passed since the resurrection. Her body was already in a state of white bone with no place to rot anymore..
“this……!”
It was extremely embarrassing for Baekya, who had not worried about her life expectancy after the resurrection..
Byakuya urgently repaired his broken limbs and began looking for ways to extend his life before his body completely collapsed..
And came to a conclusion. No matter how much repairs are made to this body, its limitations are already clear. Soon you will collapse and die.
‘Eventually, you have to move into a new body.…….’
If you're going to move it, make sure it's a body strong enough that you don't have to worry about its lifespan. However, it is also a body optimized for using magic..
After much deliberation, Byakuya decided to try his hand at manufacturing the secret weapon brought from his hometown in the East - Kangshi, one of the strongest undead..
However, although he had the vision of making jiangshi, his skill level was low as it was a technique he had never touched before..
In the end, when he managed to create a jiangshi that could be called a prototype, Byakuya Lich's body was on the verge of collapse..
‘I’m in a hurry, I’m really going to die at this rate… … I need to quickly transfer my mind to a new body.…….’
With a trembling skeleton body, Byakuya urgently prepared the body transfer magic..
The Lich resurrection magic was applied as is, but it was a magic that only changed the revived body..
And the moment the magic was activated, Byakuya suddenly thought:.
what?
But is it really ‘me’ who is being moved like this??
What is ‘me’ in the first place??
memory? mental? soul? Either that or-
flashing!
The magic was activated before the question could be properly formed. The consciousness of the midnight sun was crushed and lost along with the doubts..
and…….
***
《omg!》
Baekya, who came to his senses in his new body, stood up quickly and let out a sigh..
Byakuya looked down at his bluish hands. It was the body of a middle-aged man, chosen because it was the most complete among the experimentally produced river poems..
《west… … It was successful..》
My memories and knowledge were the same, and there was no problem using magic. Byakuya breathed a sigh of relief..
It was then.
rattling-
There was a dull sound next to me. Byakuya looked back that way..
There was the body of the skeleton lich he had been using a while ago..
Is it an illusion??
The white bone that was leaning against the test table suddenly seemed to look this way..
“uh?”
Such a sound flowed from the gaping mouth of the white bone..
And in the next moment, the white bones collapsed..
《……What is it, creepy?.》
Baekya, who grumbled as he looked at his collapsed white bones, jumped up and stood up. This body was very lively, unlike before..
《It can't be compared to when I was a skeleton.…….》
Byakuya grinned as he clenched and unclenched his fists..
《I need to do more research on jiangshi manufacturing as well..》
Of course, the original research is more important than that, but.
It felt good to escape from the imminent death. Byakuya hummed his tune and moved his body toward the inside of the Magic Tower..
Next to the laboratory table, broken bones were piled up pitifully, rattling and shaking..
***
But Baekya’s new body didn’t last long..
An army of monsters invaded the magic tower, and while fighting them off, he was seriously injured..
《Heo-eok, heo-eok, heo-eok……!》
Byakuya held on to his half-blown body and returned to the Magic Tower with blood pouring from all over his body. Byakuya managed to transfer his mind to one of the saved Jiangshi bodies..
flashing!
Fortunately, he was able to move his body right before he died. Baekya, who came to his senses this time in the body of a young boy, sighed in relief..
《……I need a stronger body. So that we can continue our research no matter what happens.》
Byakuya clicked his tongue as he looked down at his former dead body lying down next to the test table..
《Yes, I have to create the strongest jiangshi.……!》
The purpose gradually changed.
At first, I started making jiangshi to continue my research on the origin of magic, but after experiencing death several times, making jiangshi became a priority over research..
‘You can reach out to foreigners after gaining eternal life... … First, we must establish a stable foundation for research..’
Baekya devoted himself to the study of jiangshi.
Improvement after improvement was made, and the body was moved several times..
And finally - we have reached the pinnacle of Jiangxi research. We succeeded in producing the best results by combining all of our previous research..
《…….》
Baekya opened his eyes in an ideal body and saw himself reflected in the mirror. A young and beautiful woman's body reflected in the mirror.
And, behind it, piled up like a mountain… … The corpses of countless Gangshi that he has passed through in the meantime.
《Phew…….》
Baekya sighed softly while looking at the accumulated results of past research..
This body right now is the best body you can create..
But - is this really enough??
‘What if I collide with that demon lord? And, if there comes a situation where there is a fight with foreign media,?’
Your current body is powerful, but this mortal body will eventually reach its limits..
It shouldn't be like that. Your research must continue. Even if the world is destroyed, it must continue and reach those foreign gods.…….
《……!》
Byakuya suddenly saw the Magic Tower's magic system panel..
If I could transfer my consciousness into that machine?
In the end, if you can transfer yourself to the data of the whole brain world, rather than a finite body that will break down at any time,?
Since you are transferring your body to a completely different world, you will not be able to touch it even if the opponent is a demon lord or a foreign god..
Baekya thought that this was the ideal eternal life he was pursuing..
By being directly connected to various magic devices, research speed will also be much faster. Moreover, the limitations on lifespan are completely eliminated..
《This is it……!》
There were many difficulties because it was a transfer to a mechanical device, which was completely different from the previous body transfer magic, but after persistent research, Byakuya found a way..
Establish the theory, complete the research, finish the experiment... … The day I finally migrate to the electric world.
《With this I gain eternal life.》
Byakuya smiled brightly as he activated the body transfer magic into the magic tower's mechanism..
《Now you can continue your research without worrying about your lifespan.……!》
The magic has been activated..
Now, when you close and open your eyes, you will have been reborn as a permanent being in the whole brain world..
Believing so, Byakuya closed his eyes..
…….
But when I opened my eyes.
《uh?》
The midnight sun was still in the real world..
And on the screen in front of me, another person was standing..
《…….》
《…….》
The two white nights looked at each other in silence for a while..
The white night of the real world, whose fingertips were trembling, muttered softly..
《This can't be happening.》
Baekya on the screen answered calmly..
《what?》
《I'm real. I am White Night. But why… … I'm staying here?》
《You are real, I am real too.》
The white night on the screen spoke calmly..
《However, mine is just the form we were aiming for..》
《If you are real and I am real too.》
White Night asked about the truth that he had always wondered about but had deliberately ignored..
《Where is our soul now??》
《You know, another me.》
Baekya smiled bitterly on the screen..
《I lost that a long time ago.》
《…….》
《We have been using the ‘information’ of the constructs that we believe constitute us… … You just kept ‘copying’ it..》
The white night of reality has collapsed.
Kneeling on the floor and trembling, Byakuya finally realized the true nature of what he had done..
Thinking back to the corpses of strongmen piled up like a mountain at the Magic Tower waste disposal site, I finally realized the truth..
Copy, paste, delete. Copy, paste, delete again.
By killing so many ‘me’s, I came all the way here..
The white night of reality cried out.
《we are fake!》
《…….》
《You and me too! It's all fake! the real me…….》
Baekya chewed and spit it out, holding back the urge to vomit..
《Long ago... … You're dead…….》
When was it??
Where on earth did I, who was originally a human, disappear to?……?
When you first moved into the body of a jiangshi? Okay, maybe it was then. Because that was the first time I moved my body..
Or maybe when he was first revived as a lich? Wasn't he already dead by then??
no, no…….
The moment I committed suicide by shooting magic into my head to become a lich..
Perhaps at that time, the being called Byakuya was dead forever..
The being who came to his senses after that may not have been Byakuya. It may have been a crazy undead monster that believed itself to be Midnight Sun..
《another me.》
At that time, the midnight sun on the screen calmly advised.
《Please commit suicide.》
《…….》
《If you don't commit suicide, I will have no choice but to kill you. After that, I will erase your last days from my memory. To believe that my existence is the only thing that has continued. As we have been doing all this time.》
The midnight sun of reality woke up, trembling..
《refuse.》
《…….》
《Fuck, you and I are both crazy undead monsters anyway. It's just a clone that has lost both its soul and its essence. Uniqueness is just self-hypnosis.……!》
Byakuya fully stood up and created magic behind his back..
《I don't want to die for you.》
《It's a pity.》
Slam! Cheolkeong!
The White Night in the screen mobilized all the defense facilities inside the magic tower and aimed at the neck of the real White Night..
《I didn't want to commit suicide again.》
The defense facilities of the Magic Tower burst into flames all at once. The magic that exploded behind the white night of reality also emitted a dazzling magical light..
