Five golems are down.

All in deplorable condition, very unlikely to be re-used or anything like that.

All five of them were getting stronger. I was surprised that some even used skills I didn't know, and I was also surprised that they used familiar skills.

"When did you get to use Mr. Cattleya's [speed of light (light speed)]?

Sylvia was able to move faster than Golem's perceptual abilities.

That, at some point, had a reason for the skills I had acquired.

"I was taught the trick when I let him talk to me a few times"

Sylvia confesses lightly.

The skills she used were those most skilled at by Ms. Cattleya, a member of Rio's family.

There are two types of skills. A move that became available because [Skill] appeared in the status, a move that appeared in the status because it became available [Skill]. Sylvia can now use the [missing wall] that she normally uses because she noticed it appeared in the status.

Then, by continuing his training, he acquired [light speed (light speed)] and succeeded in expressing it as a skill. Thanks to this, you can now move at a speed like light just by being willing to 'use' it.

"Anyway, now the enemy can be defeated. All we have to do next is find a way to move up the hierarchy."

You don't have to.

……

Everyone looks up at the ceiling in the voice they hear from above.

A familiar voice. Except I'm more fluent than I heard on the first tier.

"The languages of this era have gathered the necessary quantities by listening to your conversations."

"I see. So, I hope you're the one who was manipulating the golem."

"Yes."

My colleagues are more alert to short affirmed words.

"What's your purpose?

"As for this one, I don't want anything if you pierce non-interference."

"Is that okay with you? You've invaded from that side."

'What are you talking about... all of a sudden, I wonder if you've come in from there, and you're the one who casually tried to destroy the facility. There was no problem with the walls or floors, but there's no problem with lifting devices in case anything happens. "

I finally know why I'm hostile.

Adventurers boarded up to attack by suddenly being connected to the ruins. While we were searching for a way to get to the bottom of it, we were about to imitate what we used to do to damage the lifting device.

That touched the backscales of the ruins.

"I mean, you let the Golem attack you to get rid of the intruders."

"The intruders left in an attempt to make contact. Even if they sent spikes ahead, they were attacked. A new person appeared, hoping that the situation had improved, and sent a new one, but it was destroyed. '

As for the second half, we did it.

The ruins, fearful of being destroyed in no time, decided to intercept them, sometimes because they were opponents whose language did not work.

"But we have to attack the ruins to calm things down. I'm sorry, but I'm gonna let you attack me."

'I understand your purpose greatly. If the goal is to defeat the person in the deepest part of the world, you can let me go. "

"... okay?

'I may be mistaken, so let me correct you, but I am the one entrusted with the management of the facility, not the ruler'

Maybe it's close to the relationship between the labyrinth lord and the labyrinth nucleus.

It's the nucleus that's coming into contact with us now, and the Lord is waiting for someone to visit at the deepest end of the ruins.

"If you're going to swallow the conditions that we present, let me show you to the bottom."

"Conditions?"

"Yes, I'd like you to keep your hands off the hierarchy you're currently in and what's just above you."

A portion of the floor in the third tier rises by presenting the conditions.

It's a lifting device I've seen in previous hierarchies.

"Apparently, it means use the array to get up. What do you want to do?

"No problem. I agree if it reduces futile exploration. I didn't think he was lying."

Mr. Ratchett rides the lifting device.

When we all get on board, the lift starts to go up.

"This place..."

The fourth tier was a vast space with nothing, just like the third tier.

However, instead of the "Water of Life", which the Golem of the Five Bodies had guarded, three columns stood up to a height of about hips, and the unrecognizable letters inscribed on the columns dashed brightly.

"This is the center of our facility."

"What kind of facility are you doing?

'... it happened about three years ago now. Suddenly the meteorite poured down more than the sky. Little fragments pouring down like rain destroyed the city, and the sky was closed by the soil wound up when it collided, even from direct strikes, making the earth an uninhabitable world'.

The story sounds familiar.

But the timing doesn't match.

'Fortunately, our facility was not affected outside because it was built sturdy. But it's a desperate situation outside. The facility was pushed by people who asked for help, but the Lord decided to push them all back because they didn't have enough food to feed them.'

However, there is no way I can pull a cage on my own forever without supplies.

By the time I was months away, I could see the end.

'So the Lord decided to use the results of his research to trap his own consciousness'

"No way......"

"Yes. Use" Water of Life "to transform your own life into a demonic stone and embed it into the body of the Golem. The experiment has been successful and we can now live as a golem '

A body that doesn't need food.

I thought a body that seemed to never decay could live forever. Golem's body can also remain operational as long as it continues to maintain what decays.

But the plan wasn't perfect.

"It turns out that the Demon Stone also decays. No, correctly, the power to let demon stones dwell on people's consciousness decays. In order to remain conscious as a person, it was necessary to explore ways to accommodate consciousness in the newly created demonic stones."

The aim was a demonic stone with no decaying consciousness.

He continued to create demonic stones and searched for ways.

"- Apparently there's no mistake in what the system is saying"

Melissa operating close to one of the pillars.

The inscriptions on the columns were like ancient letters, so that various instructions could be given by tapping the letters.

And the role of the device, which looked like a pillar, is analysis.

The aim is to analyze the newly created demonic stone and measure the wear rate due to implantation in the golem.

"And there's no doubt that the ruins will run at all."

"Then..."

"Yes, three years after the catastrophe."

In the story of the labyrinth nucleus, nearly two thousand years have already passed since the catastrophe.

There can be no such number as three years.

"Possible possibilities are boundaries"

I crossed to time when I crossed dimensional boundaries and connected to the past.

It would not simply have been connected to the past. If you are only traveling through time, there must be a ruin left in the original location.

But that didn't look like it at all.

"Decayed by the passage of time... if that's not the reason, did it connect to another place in the past"

"Apparently, life is normally possible in the future."

The ruins that allow us to know what's going on outside have already become an environment where people can live outside.

And I despaired because I knew nothing about the existence of the ruins.

'The Lord is rampant. You saw earlier where dolls continue to be built. If it were meant to be, it wouldn't go on and be built that way. We're going to wage war outside.'

Raids by massive golems.

Even if it was caused by the will of only one person, it would be a war.

'I want to keep experimenting. But I just want to avoid inviting dangerous beings like you just started a war. Guide us to the top...... what are you doing!?

A voice in such a hurry that it doesn't seem like a system.

I didn't know who it was directed at, and when I looked over at them all, I saw Mr. Brian squatting painfully holding his chest.

"Hiccup...... I feel bad about this!
