Egret

Chapter 23. Fusion

Ricky, who was impressed by my heart, looked up at the sky.

“Green sky……. ”

It was a strange color sky that I had never even seen in Midgard while controlling the weather.

Moreover, blue sunsets spread like pastels over it, creating a more dreamlike mystery.

The reeds also sparkled in silver, not ordinary brown. The situation was as beautiful as the landscape, but it was as beautiful as the sheep that came from heaven.

“This way! Even if it's a bit suspicious, we can't go into the reed field. Let's follow the road first. ”

Baikal found a path between the reed fields. It was a pavement full of huge pebbles with a zigzag. There was no other option, so they began to move along the path.

The road did not see the end no matter how far it went. The reed field, as tall as a man, interfered with his line of sight, and it was difficult to see in advance where the small serpentine path that led between them had led.

After a while, I saw a herd of yellow pigeons filling the middle of the street.

In the meantime, the man who was sitting there crouching and sowing looked at them.

“Oh, you're here sooner than I thought. ”

Food duck!

As the man stood up, the pigeons slightly flapped their wings and sat down again.

Fluvi, who saw it, jumped off Baikal's shoulders and tucked into a swarm of pigeons.

“Balloons.”

“Cough?”

“Balloons.”

Seeing Fluvi, who naturally began to imitate the pigeon language, Baikal raised his forehead.

"Oh. He really thinks he's a pigeon. ’

I was very worried about losing my identity as a Blue Wyvern, but I didn't even know what it was like, and Flubby shrugged his tail.

The man who was willing to spray more mops opened his mouth again with a single smile.

“Besides, I can't believe you show up with your hands in the order of Pentecost without missing a single person like this. I think it's really nice to get along. ”

They didn't really show up with their hands, but it was true that they all moved together without missing a single person. When no one dared, he scratched his head awkwardly.

“If you're invited, I'd like you to respond. You're bored because you're talking to yourself. ”

“…… Are you Sichup? ”

Ethan asked who he was as a representative. The man who had no intention of hiding it smiled, making an O shape with his fingers.

“Ding-dong! This is Sid, Odin Slave of Midgard. ”

It was a tone until it was corrected, but it was not light at all. Everyone's complexion hardened at once.

Ricky, who was expecting the most from him, urgently reaffirmed that fact.

“Sichup? Really? ”

“Really. Would you take me all the way here to Ragnarok and lie? ”

For him, the majesty of Sichup was not as visible as his nails.

Moreover, he did not look old according to information that he had been in power for over 300 years.

Odin Slave had the appearance of a young man who wanted to be at least 30 years old. Short hair like a lawn was also plain blonde.

Edan asks again sharply towards him.

“Where is the lord? ”

“Oh, don't worry, your owners are meeting separately now. ”

“Who are you meeting separately? ”

“Hmm? Of course. ”

The words that followed were hard for anyone to understand.

“Sichup.”

“Didn't you say Sichup? ”

“What he's seeing is Odin Henry. This is the main model I use. Odin Slave, who's meeting you right now, is a sub-model. ”

“I don't understand what you're saying. ”

“Well, to put it simply, ”

Slave pauses and scratches the envelope he was holding.

“I'm Odin, which means there's a lot of flesh. ”

He smiles as he sprinkles a handful on the pigeons.

The yellow feathers of the pigeons scattered around with the roaring sound of wings.

“A lot of flesh? ”

“Well, curious guests. I don't know if you can understand it, but it's literally the same. I'm using multiple bodies in one spirit. ”

“ ……! ”

Following that answer, the response split into two parts. Ricky, who came for eternal life, brightened his complexion, and the rest of the group hardened with eyes mixed with terror and mistrust.

‘It's as if. ’

As explained, Sichup was already close to God, not man. It was impossible for a human being to move multiple bodies in one spirit. Even the commanders who sold their souls to the commander could hardly rise from their new bodies, but at the same time they did not make many flesh mine.

From the moment I acquired it, I became an extraterrestrial being.

“Oh, what do you think? Did you like Ragnarok here? ”

“This is……. It's like a box. Is this a virtual space?”

“Oh, that's quick to notice! I've applied a little box technology used by the Lubarzan Empire to make Ragnarok. It was really convenient to type in a program. The Lubarzan wizards who developed this principle are really geniuses. ”

Sichup sincerely praised the wizards of Lubarzan.

“But thank you! It's not a virtual space, it's a reality. ”

Boxes are fake spaces that move in the spirit, but Ragnarok is simply a 'real’ space that moves with the flesh. Sichup emphasized that fact.

“If you die here, you die. ”

Sage was a little creepy at Sichup's atto, referring to death flatly.

‘300 years. What does the author hope for now, who has extended his life endlessly with so many flesh for so long? ’

What look did he make when he heard that a challenger had appeared? Did he smile or was he as peaceful as he is now?

Sage couldn't give me an answer. No matter what the answer was, the creeps that flowed through my back did not subside.

“What are you going to do about him? ”

“Huh?”

“What are you going to do with it? If you're going to hurt me! ”

“Uh-huh. You should be worried too. Come on, calm down. ”

When Sage showed a disbelieving look, Sichup took his hand off the mop envelope and brushed it.

“Let's be clear. I don't intend to kill him. To be more precise, I'm not going to kill anyone here. ”

“Then why did you invite us here? ”

“Well, let me be honest with you. In fact, you were just a sidewalk to bring him in. I bought it because I wanted to eat a squid's trunk, and I thought it was the legs. All I care about is your owners. ”

The faces of those who listened to the oddly realistic metaphor became dazzling.

“That's why I'm meeting him separately because I don't want to be disturbed. So don't worry about it. Stress is bad for the heart. ”

At the end of the day, Edan and Baikal exchanged eyes. The opinion of at least two persons was in agreement. Seeing that they were lying, he was not lying.

“Then why are you interested in him? ”

“That's simple. ”

Odin Slave slowly walked in front of them with his hand in his pocket.

The pigeons that were gathering and eating ran away from him without flying.

“Because the world could be a little more perfect without him. ”

“ ……? ”

Those who heard did not understand, but apparently did not care.

‘He who is loved by nature. ’

After creating Ragnarok and absorbing the myriad pieces of information that exist in the world by becoming the machine itself, Sichup finally derived Judas' identity after intense calculations.

The machine reads the name of a soul that no one recognizes unless it is a contracted spirit.

As soon as he found out who the challenger was, he was determined.

‘Let's invite him to Ragnarok. ’

From the beginning, the world created by the power of nature could not be perfected by machines alone.

Midgard, which was hitting its limits, needed the huge power Judas had.

“Sichup.”

Ricky steps out in front of Odin, who approaches the group.

“Do you remember my father, Rocky? ”

“Rocky……. ”

For the first time, negative emotions passed through Sichup's face. But Odin Slave laughed again before Ricky even measured whether it was anger or sadness.

“Of course I remember. Rocky Parbaouti, Information Management Staff. So you're his son? ”

“Yes! I'm Ricky. This is Ricky Parbautti."

“Right, Ricky. I entrusted your father with the development of a new navigation system. Haha. Rocky was a very rare and brilliant developer. ”

When the praise of my father came out, the child's face was lit with joy. Odin coldly concludes his smiling face.

“Soon he died. ”

It was a lifeless struggle, as the Paris Times argued.

Ricky chokes and shouts.

“My father was killed for what he had done! ”

“That's how it is. I didn't expect anyone who was not a gold rank or a staff member to be killed. I'm pretty disappointed. ”

“That's it!”

“There's no way to save the dead anyway. It was a shame."

It was a series of shocking words in many ways. Ricky's heart collapses as he stops believing there is no way to save the dead.

It felt like it was pinging in my head, but Ricky kept his mind close by.

‘I know. I'm trying to make it because there's no way. ’

I even investigated about the Command, but I gave up on hearing that even the evil commandment that eats souls cannot be used as a target for a long time after death.

Once he found another way, he needed eternal life to escape the horror of death.

“How do I live eternal life like Sichup? ”

“Huh? Eternal life? ”

Sichup laughed loudly.

“Naughty, but nothing like that. ”

“Yes? But Sichup! ”

“Do I look like I live eternal life? ”

Odin Slave tilts his head.

‘You're welcome! I am. ’

Unlike scratching the inside, it was just a grave voice coming out of my mouth.

“I just became a machine, not a living thing. ”

“Then make me a machine too! ”

The wishes of a child who did not know the weight of the meaning were gross. Sichup sends a contemptuous young gaze and laughs.

“It's not that hard. ”

“Really……! ”

“Give me your navigation instead. ”

Ricky closes his mouth with his palm in front of his eyes.

“Model J0527. My new navigation made by Rocky. ”

“Why is that...? ”

“It was originally made for me. That navigation has a very dangerous function. ”

The eye that pierces everything looks down at Ricky.

“The word ‘virus’ is used. ”

Sisop wanted Jay exactly. At that moment, Ricky remembers the question Judas asked before entering Ragnarok.

‘Do you intend to hand over the virus to Sichuan instead of getting what you want? ’

Ricky replied decisively to the question.

It's not because it's a virus. Jay is my only family now. ’

Even if it's a condition for eternal life? ’

Despite that question, the child said he would not hand over Jay. Then I remembered the appointment Ricky made with Judas when he first joined the group.

‘Will you promise me one thing? ’

"Yeah, what? ’

‘I have decided not to lie in any case. ’

The golden pupil, who looked at himself gently, came to mind. Ricky closes his mouth and pulls Jay out of the back of his hand.

“Jay.”

"Yes, my lord. What can I do for you?

A small spirit appeared, scattering a cluster of light pink.

‘Can you promise me that? ’

Ricky remembered exactly what he said to answer that question.

“Setup mode. Transfers. ”

His choice was made from the beginning.
