I Give Up on Conquering the Heroines - Chapter 241



Chapter 241: The Dregs (2)

“Observation. Is it possible?”

“Yes. It looks very good when you do it as you say. Something huge is approaching our dimension quickly, cutting through space and time······.”

Temulen sighed as if he were dumbfounded.

He seemed to be filled with despair.

It also seemed to show his enthusiasm as a scholar.

Thanks to that, a solid calculation came out.

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

In the meantime, the manpower that Linda has accumulated has grown to an unmanageable size, acting between the present world and Draken.

The dungeon has already run out of seeds.

There is no other way to count than to run using cheat keys.

Some of the Draken attached to Linda have been removed, so they are no longer accelerating.

However, if you calculate at the current speed, the remaining time is approximately 24 hours.

It is impossible to go out and intercept it because it is approaching so quickly.

By the time I arrive through the rift in the dimension, Draken will already be past that dimension.

Right now, Draken is flying as fast as a bullet piercing through the dimensions that are layered like thin paper.

“Why are you showing me this? The world is overflowing with waves of peace right now······. Do you want me to know the truth and suffer alone?”

“Yes. Let’s share the pain.”

“What······.”

“Just kidding, the only facility that can observe the exact speed and time is the White Magic Tower.”

“There must be many towers that are more proficient in astronomy than the White Magic Tower?”

“That’s because this is not a category of astronomy. What you see now is not a celestial body but a soul body. That’s why it can only be observed using the ‘Alma’ of the White Magic Tower.”

“What······.”

Temulen, who seemed to be shocked, could not continue speaking for a while.

In fact, it seems that about 30% of the reason I came here was to see this expression.

Temulen wandered around for a while, looking upset, and then opened his mouth.

“Well done. The moment this is announced, the present world will be destroyed by humans themselves before the end. I’m waiting for the day to enter the coffin with my successor and inheritance all finished, but how can the young people be so confused?”

“I think so too.”

“There must be a way? That’s why you’re saying this!”

“······.”

“You can’t say it······ Is it because you’re afraid of the enemy within? I understand.”

“I plan to use the 9th-grade magic of the nameless to build the foundation of the soul on the spring machine, compress the soul body of Draken, and seal it inside the spring machine.”

“What, what are you saying······?!”

I said it.

At this point, when there is not much time left, it doesn’t really matter if I tell you the whole plan.

The other side has already missed the timing to stop me.

Both sides are very late.

From now on, the outcome will be determined by the cards that each side has prepared.

In fact, it is safe to say that the outcome has already been decided at this point.

“I’m going crazy······. So why are you telling me this?”

“Why do you think there is a reason? Maybe I just needed a place to vent.”

“You’re not that kind of great person. If necessary, the guy who chooses to be forgotten by everyone and die would have found such an awkward old man as me because he needed a place to vent.”

“······.”

It was exactly as he said.

The last 24 hours remaining.

Whether the spring machine is completed smoothly.

Whether the state of the magic stone is intact.

It is an absurdly short time to check if the formation of the 9th-grade magic is going well.

Even if I spend time with my wives to calm my mind and body in case of an unexpected situation, it is not enough.

The reason why I came to the White Magic Tower Master, who is not even close and is very awkward, is clear.

The most essential element of the operation.

One person who determines everything about the operation.

I don’t know much about it myself, but I came to ask about the small shoulders that bear the responsibility of saving the present world.

“I heard that you were the teacher of the nameless.”

“What kind of teacher? That guy is my teacher. I’ve always learned from that kid······. It’s embarrassing. The truth that comes out of that guy’s fingertips is much greater than what I’ve studied all my life.”

“I mean the ability of that kid. Do you have any idea what it is?”

The ability to create souls.

It was an ability that even Temulen, who had spent his whole life exploring souls, had never seen before.Even I, who wrote the scenario for this game, have never heard of such an ability.

It’s an ability that even Kali, the mother of the nameless, didn’t have.

Where on earth did such a power suddenly come from?

“No. Not at all.”

“I see······. Then I’ll take my leave-“

“However, I do have a guess as to the identity of that guy.”

“······?”

“You already know that he doesn’t have a soul, right?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“I couldn’t bring myself to tell him, but the thought that came to my mind while studying him was that he didn’t seem like a living being no matter how I looked at him. Rather than being born as a person, I would say he’s like a doll or a scrap made of organic matter.”

“······.”

Temulen carefully brings up the subject while cautiously observing my expression.

Outwardly, I pretended to be indifferent and gestured for him to continue speaking, but I couldn’t help but be surprised inside.

‘A scrap made of organic matter······.’

That was the point.

The nameless one is a scrap from birth.

A scrap born from the body of Kali, who regenerates infinitely due to the magic of resurrection.

Originally, he was supposed to regenerate and become Kali, but due to lack of energy to regenerate, he was left with only a beating heart, without inheriting his personality or memories.

“It’s normal for him to have no soul or personality. He shouldn’t have any cognitive abilities, learning abilities, or intelligence, and he shouldn’t even have a desire to survive. But somehow, this guy desires life, thinks for himself, learns to speak, expresses his own will, and forms a personality. What do you think the reason is?”

“I’m not sure······.”

As Temulen said, when I first met him, the nameless one was just a lump of organic matter that was barely breathing.

A living doll that didn’t react to anything.

But at some point, the nameless one’s reactions began to diversify.

At first, he followed my words as if he had developed a routine, and later, he even seemed to express emotions.

The reason for that······.

Isn’t there only one?

“If you don’t know, no one does. A personality that shouldn’t have existed suddenly emerged while he was with you and interacting with you.”

“So······. Are you saying that I am the source of the nameless one’s birth?”

“That’s the only way I see it.”

“Isn’t that illogical? How can a lump of organic matter suddenly gain a personality and become a person just because I carried it around?”

“Is it logical to shoot down an airship fleet with an unidentified beam?”

“······.”

“I’ll say it again, if you don’t know, no one does. I’ve given you enough clues, so you’ll have to figure it out yourself.”

Temulen hands me a bomb and turns around with a chuckle.

He leaves as if he’s relieved, but.

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

‘A simple scrap of organic matter that shouldn’t have a personality······.’

When I first found the nameless one.

How did I treat him?

At the time, I thought I looked at him with hostile eyes.

I was always on guard, wondering when Kali’s personality might suddenly revive and stab me in the back.

But at the same time, I wonder if I secretly wished for it.

For the nameless one to be a completely different being from Kali.

That’s why I could call him Kali, but I gave him a separate name.

I gave him a name and gave him a different meaning than Kali.

‘Wait a minute. Then, when my existence was erased, I couldn’t hear the nameless one’s name······.’

Only then does the mystery unravel.

When the nameless one introduced himself to me, only his name was processed as noise.

It meant that it was information that I couldn’t recognize.

My existence was erased, so why was the nameless one affected?

The reason was simple.

The name nameless is not just a name.

By giving the nameless one the name nameless, I also gave it meaning.

A meaningless organic matter is given meaning.

When I treated the child as a person, he became a person.

My will created the nameless one.

‘Was he born without a soul and developed a desire to crave for a soul······.’

The ability that such a nameless one awakened is the skill to mold souls with his fingertips.

To become complete because he is an incomplete being.

And to have a soul so that he wouldn’t become the resurrected Kali, as I wished.

‘Father······.’Cornelia’s words suddenly came to mind.

Did Cornelia foresee this and say those words?

Certainly, even if I called him Father, I had nothing to say.

“What are you spacing out for?”

“Just a moment······. I was thinking about something else.”

“Don’t let your guard down. The fate of the entire world is hanging on us right now, so how can you be so careless?”

“······.”

“Mister! Are you even listening?”

“I’m listening.”

Thud.

As if annoyed by being treated like a child, he raised his hand to hit Mumyung’s head.

Still, his soul could not be felt.

Mummyung’s insides were like a blast furnace, swirling with complex thoughts and emotions.

He shook off the distracting thoughts.

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

Now, it seemed he could rest assured.

“Let’s go.”

It was finally time to ‘conquer’ Draken.
