Chapter 41: The Dizzy Situation (3)
Oblivion, god of nothingness.
A member of the 12 gods and being in charge of the empty space.
An empty space, as the name suggests, is a place where nothing can maintain its shape, and everything loses the meaning of existence.
Because of this, the priests of nothingness were called 'those who lost their existence', and they gave up all their lives before becoming priests.
It is said that they have the power to return things belonging to the material world to nothingness, and if they fall into that power, no matter how strong they are, they will fall into the swamp of nothingness and will not be able to escape.
The reason is that the empty space captures everything in the realm of 'oblivion'.
To put it simply, it means that whatever happens, it returns to zero.
"If it's what he did, there will definitely be traces left."
As it is the power to return to the empty space, according to the law of equivalent exchange, it will have the same influence as the place where the power is spread.
For example, the distortion of space.
I knew it.
Eventually, Jamie was able to find the trace without difficulty.
Right in front of the huge bookshelf where the books he had studied for five years were stored, faintly felt a crack in the space.
It's a level that even a talented person like Jamie can feel when he concentrates, so if it were any other person, he wouldn't have known what had happened.
"Space Restoration."
As Jamie reached out and turned counterclockwise to the twisted space, the very faintly distorted space began to return.
Then, the peaceful front of the bookshelf began to turn into a mess as if a fierce battle had taken place.
It seems that the person who used the laboratory and the priest of emptiness had a fight.
"Time Record."
As I spread mana, the timeline of the messy place appeared like a hologram.
move back one day at a time
Two days, three days, four days, a week, a full moon.
The timeline stopped there.
play.
Then, the record of that time period began to be vividly drawn as if it were actually unfolding before my eyes.
-What are you!!
A red-haired boy, Lennon, shoots with a vigilant face at the man in the black robe who suddenly appeared.
On the large hood worn by the man in the black robe, the eyes of oblivion, symbolizing emptiness, were drawn.
He was a priest of vanity.
- It's time to return to the void.
- What are you talking about?
Having said that, Lennon also attacked the Priest of Nimble without asking any further questions.
It was the right decision.
First of all, the floor he is on is not even accessible to most people.
Because it was the research layer of the magic elders.
However, he inadvertently broke into such a place.
Moreover, he speaks words that he cannot understand.
Lennon used the direct fire magic of the Simon family, which he had been learning hard for five years.
'In the meantime, it has increased.'
Although he only has one arm, he performed 'Salt Mode', which can be said to be the signature of Count Simon.
Flame Mode is a powerful buff-type magic that maximizes the destructive power of fire magic several times.
The fire from there engulfed the Priest of Falsehood.
It was enough firepower to burn the entire laboratory.
However, as the power of the Priest of Nilness unfolded, everything began to be sucked into the void.
- What is this... !
- The war of the gods will begin. If I die in the midst of it, I will become the prey of nothingness and my father's blood and flesh.
- Shut up!
Lennon struggled to survive.
No, I struggled to defeat the enemy.
But it wasn't enough.
It seems that the priest of Hehmu who appeared here was quite high-ranking.
Among the 12 denominations, the most dangerous is the denomination of emptiness.
If it was a priest in such a place, especially a high-ranking priest, it would be impossible for Lennon to handle it.
-Ann... don't come out
Lennon murmured in a crawling voice, and the power of emptiness swallowed him up.
The priest of nihilism turned him back to nihilism and remained still for a while, then the eyes of nihilism drawn on the hood began to shine.
- Everything must be finished before he returns.
After a few flashes of nihilism's eyes, he nodded and answered.
- This land has already been perpetuated in vain. Return as soon as you finish work.
With that, the timeline ended.
Jamie's face contorted uncomfortably.
"These cubs."
Dare to aim here?
I don't know why they suddenly aimed at this place, but they picked the wrong opponent.
'First of all, what happened to Anne?'
I remembered the words Lennon had muttered just before being sucked into the empty space.
The voice was so small that the priest of nihil couldn't hear it, but I could hear it clearly because I checked it with the timeline.
Anne did not fall victim to the cult of emptiness.
'Don't come out... Is it there?'
Before leaving the magical realm, Jamie recalled the research he had stopped on the way.
Could it be that the disciples were conducting the study separately?
Jamie moved to the third lab.
The previous place was the first laboratory, where hypotheses were made and theories were established.
Lab 2 is where the completed theory is simulated and the probability is calculated.
And the third laboratory is where the results of the research that have been completed up to simulation are tested.
Jamie's fingerprints were recognized and the door to the lab opened.
There was a very large mechanical device in the form of a ring.
It was evident that the lever was pulled down and the signal was still passing through it.
"You mean the two of them were really conducting research?"
Jamie let out a short sigh.
It must have been a theory that was too difficult to understand with Lennon and Anne's skills.
This is because this mechanical device was a free deformation system subspace construction device made to mass-produce 'Gramia'.
However, since Gramia itself was a great artifact that could even be compared to the three major gods, I was too tired to even follow the theory, so I gave up for a while.
"Anne must have done a great job."
A child of scholarly talent would have understood the theory to some extent.
It was because he was a genius who did not bow down even when compared to his own intuition.
Lennon was also a smart kid, so he must have supported him well.
The problem is, you need more than one person to operate this stuff.
This is because the owner does not have full control over the exterior and interior like Gremia.
But after Lennon was beaten, there would be no one to take Anne out.
Jamie moved the lever up and manipulated a few things.
Then, a ring-shaped circle flashed with light, and a portal was created in the empty space.
Jamie pressed the button labeled Forced Escape.
The portal shone dazzlingly, and in front of it, small particles began to cluster together to form the figure of a girl.
"Pooh!"
The girl, Anne Meyer, let out the breath she had been holding back and sat down.
Then he looked down at the floor, and, as if his temper had been stretched out, turned to the side and shouted loudly.
"Lennon, you crazy bastard!! What if I take it out now? !"
But her words did not come to an end.
His eyes widened as if he had seen something he could not see, followed by a brief silence.
It was Jamie who broke the silence.
"It's been a while, Anne. I have a lot to say, but I have a question for you right now."
"S, Master?"
"Did you hear that I was gone?"
Anne nodded her head blankly.
Ha, I heard you'll be back in one day... How have you been? Do you know how worried I am?!"
"Apologize later, how much time has passed since I disappeared?"
Yes? uh one month. Exactly one month."
As Anne finished the quick calculation and told the time that had passed, Jamie narrowed her eyebrows.
A month has passed.
It was fifteen days ago that the priest of nihilism created the magic world like this.
If so, it is correct to see what happened globally before that.
"How have you been, Master? Where else did Lennon go?"
"You don't have time to explain, Anne. It might give you a headache."
Jamie came here and sent what she had checked into Anne's head.
As if she was getting a headache as a warning, she had a painful expression on her face, but rather than that, she had a shocked expression because of what had happened in the magical world.
"Oh, the magic world ?!"
"Your reaction makes it seem like you don't know what's going on."
uh ."
"I must go to the palace."
Seldam's capital, Fivre, would not have been hit.
It boasts security beyond the magic world, and since the war, strong masters of the master class have been on standby at all times.
"Master, please take me too!"
No.
Jamie refused with a firm voice.
I don't think so, but even if it's fibres... If even the Royal Skadium had suffered, the northern part would be in a state of de facto annihilation.
I couldn't take Anne there.
"If you have heard of any other Archmage, my father, or the Pyro, please tell me."
"It would be quicker to read it directly in my head."
Ann came up with an efficient method, and Jamie accepted it.
She was a child who would have hated reading in her head if she had been in the past, but because of the situation, she willingly stuck out her head.
Jamie immediately put the month's log into his head.
Speeding up for Anne in distress.
"Whoa-"
The person who reads the memory is exhausted from the brain, so Anne collapsed on the floor.
Jamie frowned as he pondered the memory of his pupil.
Ricky.
Ricky, an apostle and close friend of the Pyro goddess, suffered.
Anne did not know the details of the process, but it seemed that the Pyro Church was in a state of chaos.
In addition, their biggest ally, the Kingdom of Seldam, seemed to have reached the aftermath.
However, he could not figure out why the Church of Nihmu moved.
Because that's what happened after Anne got into the machine.
have to go to the capital.
You must go and meet the king and hear all the facts.
"I'm sorry, Anne. Stay here a little longer. It won't be dangerous because it looks like they've done everything and left.
" Can't we just use a swarm?
Jamie nodded, and she nodded in understanding.
Knowing the seriousness of the situation, he realized that he would only be a burden.
be careful. And when it's all over, do you have to explain it to me? What have you been up to in a month?"
okay. Then see you later."
A bright light emanated from Jamie's body, and his figure vanished.
Anne's expression turned into an unbelievable look at what was happening right before her eyes.
"Wow, warp?"
His teacher just cast 'Warp', an ultra-long-distance space travel magic, without memorizing any spells.
The shock it gave Ann remained silent for a while.
* * *
Jamie set foot in the capital, Fibre.
I tried to do that.
Suddenly, a tremendous sense of resistance interfered with the warp magic, and the coordinates began to falter.
I quickly changed the coordinates to a safe area.
Jamie frowned as he landed on the floor as if bouncing.
Then, he frowned at the scene unfolding in front of him.
"Mana barrier."
The gray-white barrier that covered the fibre in the form of a dome blocked his approach.
Any barrier wouldn't be able to hinder his movement, but it was a barrier that was at a great level, even to the point of disturbing his coordinates.
It looked like it was made by an absorption dragon.
"After all, what happened here?"
Will the inside be okay?
Jamie raised her hand over the barrier, hoping that someone could tell her the current situation.
clenched-
Sparks spurt out, and a tremendous force is released with the intention of destroying the intruder.
However, when Jamie, who had reached transcendence, began to use his power in earnest, the barrier began to be suppressed in reverse.
"Open the door."
Purple eyes opened and black mana pierced through the barrier like thorns and penetrated inside.
Then it expanded and grew big enough for Jamie to fit in.
Jamie went inside and frowned at the sight of the miserable Fibre.
"What is this ."
As if there had been a major war, all the buildings in the capital were in a mess, and the well-polished royal road was covered with dirt as if it had been plowed.
Seeing the situation in the capital, Heis began to worry.
What would happen if Highs became like this place?
split.
Jamie took a part of himself and made another Jamie Welton.
It was a kind of alter ego, but it was more convenient to see it as another self with a much higher degree of perfection.
"You go straight to Highs."
okay.
Another Jamie went straight to Highs.
It had to be like this from the beginning.
He was embarrassed by the situation in the magical world and did not care about Hiss.
Mother, Sarah, and city dwellers should be all right.
Jamie frowned at his mistake.
First, let's meet King Friedmoor.
He immediately moved to the Royal Stadium.
