I Became an Academy Mechanic Genius chapter 174

174 – Aunt. Can I leave it to you to charge it?

I looked through the many collected images.

The appearance of Satanists gathered in each basement and praying.

They are obviously preparing for a summoning or advent ritual.

In order to summon a demonic being in ‘Destruction,’ you must have the wishes and energy of countless demonic cultists.

‘There are a lot of them.’

And the more such demon cultists there are, the stronger the level of demons that can be summoned becomes.

If 2,000 believers sacrifice their life force and make a wish, it is level 3, if there are 4,000 believers, it is level 2, and if there are 8,000, it is level 1. It is this way.

And according to the results of tracking the number of believers by sending electromagnetic waves throughout the kingdom, the number is approximately 30,000.

Almost half of the population of the city within the capital has become a devil cult and is carrying out the Advent ritual.

‘This is a large supply.’

So I was convinced that it was a large supply.

If a believer of that size could make a wish, there was no other way than a large supply.

‘Then the gyro…’

It is not the point.

This guy is just a time-killer, the real core is a supply demon that the believers want to summon.

‘Where are you?’

So I started looking for an ‘offering’.

With only 30,000 people, it would be impossible to summon the Archduke himself, so it was probably a ritual to summon the soul.

And in order to be equipped with the soul of the Archduke, a suitable body is needed.

In other words, a sacrifice is needed.

‘Here’

After checking hundreds of images, we were able to find the location of the offering.

Great Hall of Antica Cathedral.

The third prince of Entica is laid down there and a ritual of reincarnation is being performed.

As expected, the number of believers gathered there was close to 5,000.

Unlike the 300 to 400 people spread out in small groups, a large group of people gather together to conduct the ceremony.

‘All I have to do is hit the cathedral.’

There is no need to hit other points that are spread out in the form of a dot structure.

The place where 3,400 people are spread out is only a place to send the energy needed for the spell, but the real core where the spell is completed is the Antica Cathedral where about 5,000 believers gather.

-Shuung!

So I headed to the cathedral.

However, it was obvious that if I attacked this place openly, the 5,000 believers would turn into demons and attack me, so I went into stealth mode as soon as I landed on the roof.

If they come out after just removing the sacrifice, they are a small group of sandfish, so they tried to infiltrate.

“Ktu- Kehaka! Patujahat─ Saota-!·····”

As we entered the cathedral, thousands of believers were chanting incantations of madness.

They are speaking disgusting demon language and hoping for the arrival of the Grand Duke.

‘That won’t happen.’

However, since I am here, what they wish for will not happen.

I walked straight to the platform where the offering was, and as I carefully approached the offering one step at a time without making a sound, I was finally able to get right in front of it.

Now all you have to do is remove the sacrifice and run away…

‘······Wait a minute.’

At that time, a thought occurred to me.

This is an idea that cleverly takes advantage of this situation.

That’s because it’s obvious that if you kill the sacrifice and run away, all the demon cultists in the city, including the demon cultists here, will go to war.

‘····I hadn’t thought of that. ‘They are the real main force.’

Approximately 30,000 Satanists.

If all of them fail the summoning ritual and enter the war, the damage will be enormous.

As Gyro brainwashed them for a long time and brought them into the devil cult, there are probably many believers who not only turned their bodies into monsters but also turned into devils themselves.

Of course, dealing with a believer is a hundred times better than actually summoning the archduke’s soul.

If the Archduke’s soul truly descends, he will not be able to win, no matter how much Elena is there.

‘Yes, that would be good.’

So, taking all these matters into consideration, I changed the direction of the operation.

Rather than immediately killing the sacrifice and running away, take advantage of the situation itself.

To do that, you must first take care of the suit.

***

I came out to the back yard of the cathedral, checked that no one was there, and opened my inventory.

And I took out the ‘Devil Makeup Suit’ that I had made a while ago.

This is a devil model suit made to pretend to be Gyro.

‘I need to take a look.’

However, it was too similar to Gyro’s demonization to be worn as is.

It was necessary to tinker with details such as skin color, horns, facial features, etc.

What I am trying to do is to deceive the believers in the cathedral.

-Chieeek····Chieeek····.

So I painted all the gray skin red.

As the ‘hand technique’ skill was fully developed and various elaborate tasks became possible remotely, changing the skin color and enhancing the texture could be accomplished without difficulty.

After that, I changed the shape of the horns, slightly touched up the details on the face, and added a large scar to the chest.

Giving it such a striking feature gives it individuality and clearly distinguishes it from Gyro’s demon type.

“Is this okay…?”

As a result of decorating the exterior in just 20 minutes, the suit was completed with a fairly believable feel.

However, unlike when deceiving the cadets, more details were needed when deceiving the believers.

To be able to pretend to be a devil, only when powerful magical energy emanates from the suit itself.

‘There is a way to do that too.’

So I took out the Crucible.

And the hell energy charged in the Crucible flowed into my suit.

Then, an enormous amount of magical energy began to radiate around the suit.

The bishop who tried to consume my territory the other day gathered a significant amount of hell energy to become the archbishop, so the concentration and strength of the magic energy is on a different level.

“It’s disgusting… But I have to endure it.”

Anyway, I put on the suit, suppressing the nausea I felt.

Then, a devil was completed, wearing the appearance of a perfect devil and wearing enormous magical power.

At this level, even this devil lover will not recognize me.

“Shall we go?”

After completing my makeup, I confidently walked to the entrance of the cathedral.

Then the devil guard guarding the entrance shouted in surprise.

“Poetry, new humanity!”

New humans.

Demonists refer to perfect humanoid demons as new humans.

This is because when ordinary believers are demonized, some parts of their bodies resemble those of beasts.

‘And that’s an imperfect look.’

For this reason, there are two types of demonization: ‘complete demonization’ and ‘incomplete demonization.’

Complete demonization refers to a humanoid with huge dragon wings on its back and large, beautiful horns sprouting from its forehead, like the demon suit I am wearing now. Incomplete demonization refers to demonization that deviates from this appearance.

For example, in this appearance, the face is like a fish face, or the three fingers and legs are all covered with fur, or the lower body of a horse like a centaur, etc. In any case, the more you deviate from this appearance, the lower your grade. It can be seen as a believer.

“Ahh… Ah… Meet the new human race…”

Because of this, I am a very handsome man among the devil cultists.

It is the ultimate image they desire and the utopia itself.

The reason why Gyro is revered like a god here is also because he is a perfect humanoid demon.

“Guide to where the archbishop is.”

“Yes…! Eat inside! “New humanity!”

Anyway, I entered the cathedral with the guidance of the guard.

Every time I walked, thousands of believers stared at me and their eyes widened.

Some of the female disciples even forgot to recite the spell and burst out in courting cries.

From noble mtl dot com

“····Everything, you!”

As I walked and reached the podium, the archbishop who was leading the Advent ceremony greeted me.

He said with an ecstatic expression.

“Poetry, new humanity…. It is an honor to meet you like this. However, I understand that the only new human being in the Kingdom of Entica is Gyro… How did you come here?”

The archbishop welcomes me but is suspicious of my presence here.

Well, it makes sense.

The magic energy I am currently emitting is of cardinal level, the same level as Gyro.

“Why would I come here?”

So, using the authority of the cardinal, I asked the question in reverse.

Actually, there is no excuse that comes to mind.

Then the guy thought for a moment, then opened his eyes wide and said.

“Ho, by any chance! Are you ‘Him’? “It was decided to become the existing advent body!”

····Him? The existing advent font?

I don’t know what he was talking about, but I nodded.

For now, my priority is to gain the Archbishop’s trust and implement my plan.

“B-but…! “You must be thought to be dead…”

···Dead? Is he a recently deceased satanist?

Who is it?

“·····I was lucky. “The great Prince of Hell saved me.”

I tried to turn my head, but no face in particular came to mind, so I said that and clenched my fist.

Instead, when I floated a sphere of concentrated magical energy above my fist, the bishop said with an ecstatic expression.

“Ah… The great master led you here. It’s an honor to meet you, Max Sigmund.”

“······?”

···Max?

I was dumbfounded by the name that appeared at an unexpected time.

However, a while ago, I was tracing the movements of Gyro and Max and suspected that there might be a connection between them.

But I never thought that guess would be so correct.

‘···It went rather well.’

Anyway, if he misunderstands me as Max, that’s fine.

From what I heard, it seems that the original descendant of the Archduke was Max.

“Okay. I am here to perform a sacred duty. “The only body that can completely contain His soul is me, who has reached new humanity.”

So, I pretended to be Max and suggested changing the font.

He said that the Grand Duke could not dwell in such an imperfect body, and that he would lie down on the altar.

“Yes…! Of course! Of course you should do that…!”

The bishop was very happy at this and led me to the altar.

The third prince, who was already lying down, moved down and pointed politely at the altar with both hands.

It means tell me to lie down.

“····Bishop. “There is one thing you should know.”

But before that, I took out the Crucible.

I showed the Crucible to the guy and said with an expression full of determination.

“The energy of hell must be guided by this sword, not by my body. Because this sword is the holy sword used by Baal, the great Prince of Hell.”

“Stand, holy sword…!”

The guy looked at the Crucible again with rapt eyes.

On the outside, the Crucible was a perfect sword of hell, so tricking it was a piece of cake.

In fact, the Crucible is a sword that is wielded by charging it with hell energy.

“This holy sword is a flawless treasure. “No matter how new humans may be, their bodies originate from humans, so although they are breakable vessels, this holy sword cannot be broken.”

That’s how I sold the drug to him.

The guy nodded to my words without a single doubt, and soon modified his ritual technique so that my Crucible contained hellish energy.

Finally, as I lay down on the altar holding the Crucible to my heart, the bishop shouted.

“I will perform the ceremony! The great Duke will dwell in the holy sword!”

As soon as the bishop’s shout ended, the demon cultists shed tears of joy and recited their spells.

I smiled while lying comfortably on the altar.

Thanks to this, I was able to fully charge the Crucible.
