Hunter of the Perished World

You killed a witch.

I've killed the wrong target to forget I'm the Devil.

There, Gene set the end of the world from birth.

Can you endure sin?

Machines that lived as machines, but learned their minds by killing witches, did not know how to break the minds already formed.

Those who have already begun the countdown to the end of the world have come here to kill those who struggle to avoid the end.

Are you qualified to leave or not?

If it's a sin that weighs so much that it can be weighed.

Gene would put the whole world on the other side of him, but he wouldn't even notice.

Even that sorcerer was like a feather compared to Gin. Gene has no answer to Calz's calm criticism.

As soon as the memory returns, Gene remembers Leona.

‘Sorry.'

Whatever I heard, I thought it was like building a few more floors on the Tower of Sin that I've been building. That's why I thought I could take it.

But who can, what kind of strong-willed person can endure this?

Gene couldn't look anywhere.

Not because I'm ashamed.

I couldn't stand it.

I couldn't stand myself telling Leona I didn't know what to stand for.

So,

I had to listen.

“Tell me the plan. ”

[My plan requires a total of three. Three types of power, to be exact.]

Carltz aimed to realize Plan B of the Parasource project. A new planetary plan.

[One is you.]

As a permanent institution, you need a complete darkbone.

[Both are natural.]

Kaltz sealed the source.

[The third is witches.]

And the witches.

“I understand the story of the perpetual institution. But why do we need the other two? ”

[After seeing the natural power corrupt even the sunlight, don't you know what that means, Jean?]

Yesterday.

The group seems to know why Kalz summoned the heavenly host and sealed the heavenly host with such carnage.

“No way... Terraforming?”

[Yes, you can use natural powers to Terraform.]

Natural forces are complex and we don't know where the limits are, but it is possible to strike lightning on dry skies. It was impossible for a celestial shaman to use his natural powers to turn the climate upside down.

This means that climate manipulation of planetary units is possible once the natural forces have begun to be used.

[It is a very primitive use of this power to send rain and lightning. With precision, we can create oxygen on an oxygen-free planet, water on an oxygen-free planet. Such is the natural power. This is not something that can exist unconsciously in the world without self-awareness. You don't have to navigate through the observable universe for an infinite amount of time using the natural power. Well... You can use natural medicine as a permanent institution, but that's not very efficient.]

“Terraforming…. ”

[Of course, that's not all. Even if you don't have the strength of terraforming, you have to take it.]

“What does that mean? ”

[Now that the heavenly body is sealed, the souls will only return to the heavenly body and not escape.]

The dead spirit returns to its source, but it is impossible to escape otherwise. What Carltz built was different from what Gin remembered from Karpa.

As long as he was willing to draw power from the seal, Khaltz would have left that part open.

“Then…. Now... what will happen to the people who will be born? ”

[Of course, it is born without a soul.]

Jean shuts up about what Carls said.

Every human being is born without a soul, unless the heavenly host is no longer divided. Gene doesn't know what it means to be born without a soul.

He didn't even know he had no soul in the first place.

Two without souls here.

It was the camp here and Charlotte outside.

[A clone or whatever possesses the soul of an abnormal human being. Charlotte purposely removed her soul through a terraframe procedure. No human has been soulless since birth.]

“What...? ”

Charlotte was born to have a soul, but now the machine is replacing every part of her soul.

What is the soul?

Khaltz knew of the existence of nature, and understood its existence.

Karlsz had a question.

What is the soul responsible for, and what is the soul without?

Carls did a lot of experiments. We also conducted experiments that put humans in an ultra-high-powered photon emitter to free the soul from the body.

Humans who are already born die the moment they lose their souls. If you leave accidents and physical functions to the machine, you may not die, but they are essentially empty shells that have lost their souls.

That's why Charlotte is as mortal as she is now.

A man who has been taken from his soul will die.

Then, what human being is born without a soul?

Carltz organized the space itself into a quarantine space, such as the interior of Karlpa, to keep the invisible spirit from passing through, and then cultivated humans there.

And I watched it grow.

I left the cyborgs of ignorance in a quarantine space to create an environment for raising thousands of children, and I watched not only cultured people but also children actually born through pregnancy and childbirth.

A man made without a gap in his soul. Human without soul infusion.

All of them.

[Man born without a soul is a beast.]

Even at the age of a few, I could not acquire intelligence.

[Just instinct.]

He moved only for the sake of desire, and even if he obtained a language, he could only speak basic words.

The soul is fundamental to making man a man, and a man without a soul becomes like a beast.

[You're welcome. If you didn't know the true nature of this, you'd have to sail through the vast ocean of the soul to see a man grow into an animal.]

Man who is reborn in the overwhelming time of voyage, and the soil so touched, is a beast with no intellect. If I had faced that situation, who would have been able to endure that overwhelming despair?

[Only if you bring a genuine entity can you give the soul to a newborn human.]

Not only for terraforming, but for mankind to be born in a new land, it meant that the innate must be taken.

If you think about the ability to Terraform there, the plan to cross the observable universe is revised as well. The sailing time itself would have been absolutely shortened.

Then there is a third.

The power of witches.

“Why do you need the power of a witch? ”

[Humans who will live on the new planet are the new humans. We can't take all the humans in the world. We need to start with a prime number and get those humans summoned. But it can't be that easy. Humans die easily.]

To control humans.

[They will be ruled by the witch's psyche. Until they're big enough to be self-sufficient. Of course, it was very difficult to ‘resemble' humans enough that they were given souls from the Emperor.]

“Humans are a witch's psychic.... Ruled?”

That's impossible.

However, Kaltz has called the newborns the ones who will live on the new planet.

[Think about the nature of witches. Witches deal with psychopaths. Where do you think the fundamentals are?]

The psychotic waves of witches and witches are not attacked by monsters. It has nothing to do with any other life, but is only attacked by monsters.

Where did the monster come from?

[Witches are born with the power to control all life, including the planet's core.]

The life-giving nucleus, the control over all living things that come from that nucleus.

Naturally, I gave such power to witches.

[So when you extract the planet's nuclear energy and create the most human-like life, it's natural for a witch to control it.]

I didn't say anything unexpected.

Witches are shepherds.

Sheep created to follow the shepherd will live by the witch's will to absolute rule.

So, what is a witch?

[Witches become gods of the new planets.]

God of the New World.

[I intend to find a habitable planet, conduct terraforming, and pioneer that planet.]

Working with three forces. Now that it's sealed, Calz needs two things.

Permanent institutions and witches.

“Are you going to create a new demon? ”

[Unfortunately, I can't do that. The plan is twisted.]

Kaltz has obtained data on the Devil's Experiment. After confirming the data received by Charlotte's hand, Khaltz faced a problem.

To be precise, there was no problem.

I've analyzed the power of the Devil, and the technology to create it is clearly in Calz's hands now.

Soon, you will be able to create a witch.

But now there's a problem.

[Cheonan showed up too early.]

It was Kaltz's plan to seal the innate seal, but it appeared too soon. Carltz misdesigned time.

It was a slight error.

[I couldn't help but seal it. Otherwise, it is virtually impossible to sacrifice so many humans for the next heavenly coming. I dodged my eye well this time, but I won't be so likely to avoid the natural scourge next time... I hid underground like this and intervened indirectly in the world to avoid natural eyes.]

“Get to the point. ”

[Every human being born now sealed by the heavenly body moves only by instinct.]

“So?”

[You can't make a witch.]

Even if you make a Witch, you can't use it if you're like an animal. Jin's expression hardened.

[But fortunately, there are two witches here.]

“ ……. ”

[Aren't you curious why I let you come all the way here?]

Carltz needs gin.

And I needed a witch.

[Let's start with witches. You're the one who matters.]

Karltz told Jean he was giving her a choice.

[I won't say that I did all this with grief and great guilt.]

I didn't have time or time to defend myself.

In this dumped world, everyone lives a life of rubbish, whether they think about it or not. Those who live to be praised are nowhere.

Everyone went out of their way to sacrifice anyone for it, and Carltz knew that better than anyone.

[But at least if you have a conscience, cooperate with me.]

For destroying the world.

Give the world a chance to make amends.

“Aren't you going to kill me? ”

[I won't say I don't want to.]

“Then why do you need my consent? Isn't it your job to kill me and take the Darkborn? ”

[No matter how little time passes, it's not like sailing can last a hundred and two hundred years. Even if you go to a nearby planet and do terraforming, it will take a billion units of time to get there.]

The Darkborn is what Carls needs, but there are more important things.

[We need the spirit to survive that voyage, and that's impossible for humans. I don't believe in artificial intelligence for so long. Even the Godfather and Core eventually had incomplete fake intelligence, so they behaved like horses. During that time, we need a pilot to control the ship ‘awake’.]

“What you want is for me to be a pilot? ”

[Yes, you are the most advanced artificial intelligence in the world. Once you've entered the data, you're the only one who can take control of the ship in a minute. Humans go crazy because they are human. But you, a man who was a machine, will die, but function will never die.]

“You could do it. ”

You don't know what I did.]

Kaltz is silent for a moment.

[I tried to have a mind to withstand that space voyage.]

What kind of effort can you make to stay afloat in space? Gene is silent for a moment and realizes what it means.

“…… cognitive acceleration? ”

[Yes, the Dark Bones are useful for combat, but also for people who don't have much time.]

“What did you do? ”

[I tried to live a year after increasing my cognitive acceleration skills a thousand times over. A thousand years, to put it simply.]

Khaltz was a man, but he wanted to be a machine. To live an unbearable time if not a machine.

[And I haven't lived for even half a year.]

In the basement.

Kaltz has not fulfilled half a year's worth of living in a thousand times his time.
