“Observation. Is it possible?”

“Yes. I did as you said and it looks pretty good. Something huge is cutting through space and time, rapidly approaching our dimension…”

Temulen sighed as if he was dumbfounded.

It looks like it’s full of despair.

It seems like his enthusiasm as a scholar is showing.

Thanks to this, a clear calculation was made.

Currently, Draken is approaching the present world at a faster pace than ever before.

The manpower that Linda had accumulated over the years, acting between Seonse and Draken, grew to a point where she could no longer handle it.

The dungeon has been dry for a long time.

Since you use the cheat key to run, there is no other way to use it.

The part of Draken stuck to Linda has been removed, so it is no longer accelerating.

Calculating at the current speed, the remaining time is approximately 24 hours.

Since it is approaching so quickly, it is impossible to go out in advance and intercept it.

By the time I arrive through the dimensional rift, Draken will have already passed through that dimension.

Right now, Draken can be seen as flying quickly like a bullet piercing through multiple layers of paper-thin layers.

“Why are you showing this to me? The world is now filled with waves of peace… Are you telling me to know the truth and suffer alone?”

“Yes. Let’s share some pain.”

“What…”

“It was a joke, the only facility that could accurately observe speed and time was the White Magic Tower.”

“In astronomy, there are probably more magic towers that are more knowledgeable than the White Magic Tower, right?”

“That’s because this is not the category of astronomy. What you see now is not a celestial body, but a soul body. Therefore, observation is only possible using ‘Alma’ of the White Magic Tower.”

“What…”

Temulen seemed to be in shock and could not speak for a moment.

In fact, I think I came because I wanted to see this expression.

Temulen looked distraught and wandered around for a moment before parting his lips.

“Well done. The moment this is announced, humans will be destroyed before the end of this world. After deciding on the succession and completing all transfers, I am so confused as I wait for the day to enter the coffin while weaving the shrouds. How could it be so great for young people?”

“That’s my opinion too.”

“There must be some way, right? So, isn’t this what you’re saying!”

“······.”

“I can’t say… Is it. The enemy within is fearful. I understand.”

“I plan to use the 9th level magic of the unknown to lay the foundation of the soul in the clockwork machine, and then compress Draken’s soul body and push it into the clockwork machine to seal it.”

“What, what…?!”

I said it.

Since time is already running out, it doesn’t really matter if I tell you the whole plan.

There was already too much time for the other side to take action to stop me.

It was too late for both sides.

From now on, the game will be decided only by the cards prepared by each other.

In fact, it is safe to say that the game is decided at this point.

“I’ll be thrilled… So why are you telling me this?”

“Why do you think there is a reason? Couldn’t it just be because you need a place to vent?”

“You are not that kind of great person. A guy who would rather die and be forgotten by everyone, if necessary, needed a place to confide in, so he found this old man.”

“······.”

It was definitely as he said.

Last 24 hours remaining.

Is the completion of the clockwork machine going smoothly?

Is the state of the magic stone intact?

Even if we check whether the 9th level magic is being formed properly, it is an absurdly short amount of time.

Even if I spent time with my wives to calm my mind and body in case something unexpected happened, it wasn’t enough.

It is clear that this is the reason why he came to visit the White Magic Tower lord, whom he was not even close with and was extremely awkward with.

The most essential element for operations.

One person who decides everything about the operation.

I don’t know, but I wanted to ask about the small shoulders that bear the responsibility of salvation in this world.

“I heard that you were the teacher of an unknown person.”

“What is a teacher? That guy is my teacher. I just learned from that kid the whole time… It was embarrassing. The truth that came out of his fingertips was much more extensive than what I had studied all my life.”

“That child’s abilities. Do you have any guess as to its identity?”

The ability to shape the soul.

It was a skill that even Temulen, who devoted his life to exploring his soul, had never seen before.

This is an ability that even I, who wrote the scenario for this game, have never heard of.

This is an ability that Kali, the mother of the unknown, did not have.

Where on earth did this kind of power suddenly arise?

“No. There is nothing at all.”

“Is that so as expected…? Well then-”

“But there are some clues as to his identity.”

“······?”

“You probably already knew that this guy doesn’t have a soul, right?”

“Yes. Yes.”

“I couldn’t bear to tell him, but the thought I had while studying him was that no matter how I looked at it, it didn’t look like a living thing. Rather than being born as a human being, should I say that I am like a doll or leftover made of organic matter?”

“······.”

Temulen carefully looks at me and begins to speak carefully.

On the outside, he pretended like nothing was wrong and made a gesture telling me to keep talking, but inside I couldn’t help but be surprised.

‘Less made up of organic matter…’

It was the perfect answer.

It is true that an unknown person is a dregs from birth.

Resurrection, the residue born from Kali’s corpse that regenerates infinitely thanks to the magic of resurrection.

Originally, he was supposed to regenerate and become Kali, but due to a lack of energy for regeneration, he was unable to inherit his personality and memories, and all that remained was an organic matter with a beating heart.

“It is normal to have no soul, personality or anything else. It was right to have no cognitive ability, no learning ability, no intelligence, and no desire to survive. But somehow, this guy wanted to live, think for himself, learn to speak, express his will, and form a personality. What do you think is the reason?”

“I don’t know…”

As Temulen said, when I first met him, Obscurity was more like a mass of breathing organic matter.

A living doll itself that does not react to anything.

But at some point, Unmyung’s reactions began to become more diverse.

At first, he followed what I said as if he had a routine, but later he seemed to express his emotions.

That’s why…

There’s only one, right?

“If you don’t know, no one will know. Being with you and interacting with you has given rise to a personality that could not have arisen suddenly.”

“So… Are you saying that I am the source of ignorance?”

“That’s all I can see with my eyes.”

” Doesn’t it make logical sense? How can a lump of organic matter suddenly gain personality and become a person just because I carry it around?”

“Why does it make sense to shoot down an airship fleet by shooting an unknown beam?”

“······.”

“I’ll say it again, if you don’t know, no one will know. I gave you enough clues, so you will realize it yourself.”

After handing over the bomb, Temulen laughs and turns away.

Although he himself leaves as if he is relieved.

My mind is so complicated that it feels like it’s going to explode.

‘Simple organic waste with no personality…’

When I first found Anonymous.

How did I treat the unknown?

At the time, I thought people viewed me with a hostile gaze.

They say that Kali’s personality may suddenly come back to life and stab her in the back.

I was on guard again and again.

But at the same time, I may have been secretly wishing for it.

I hope that Nameless is a completely different entity from Kali.

That’s why it could be called Kali, but I guess they gave it a separate name.

By giving it a name, it gave it a meaning other than Kali.

‘for a moment. Then, when my existence was erased, I couldn’t hear the name of the unknown…’

Only then is the mystery solved.

When an unknown person introduced me, his name was conveyed through noise.

It meant that it was unrecognizable information.

It was my existence that was erased, so why was the nameless person affected?

The reason was simple.

The name Obscurity is not just a name.

By naming it anonymous, I also gave it meaning.

Meaningless organic matter is given meaning.

When I treated that child like a person, he became a person.

My will is what created obscurity.

‘Are we born without a soul and then having a desire for a soul?’

The ability that such an unknown person has awakened is the talent of creating a soul with his fingertips.

To become perfect because we are imperfect beings.

And as I wished, I developed these abilities to have a soul so as not to become the resurrected Kali.

‘Are you my father…?’

Suddenly, what Cornelia said came to mind.

Did Cornelia foresee this far and say that?

Certainly, I had nothing to say even if he called me father.

“Why are you so blank?”

“Wait a minute… I was thinking about something else.”

“Don’t be distracted. The fate of the whole world is hanging on us right now, so what should we do if we let our guard down like that?”

“······.”

“Mister! Are you listening?”

“I’m listening.”

Tup.

He placed his hand on the head of the irritated nameless person, as if being treated like a child was annoying.

I still can’t feel a soul though.

The inside of an unknown person is like a melting pot where complex thoughts and emotions swirl.

I shook off the distracting thoughts.

When I didn’t know the source of this ability, I was reluctant to rely on it.

I feel like I can feel at ease now.

“Let’s go.”

It’s finally time to ‘attack’ Draken.
