A world that cannot be built with cog wheels
Maximilian was from a foreign country. In a country where birth is a curse, if you do not solve the problems that arise from time to time, you will be eliminated.

Fortunately, aside from the minor problem of missing arms, Maximilien’s talent was outstanding, and he wisely dealt with many of the problems he encountered in life.
In particular, he was rational when the established powers of the nations came together to punish him. Two companies perished under his steel wheel after awakening his own magic, and Maximilian left the country leisurely.
Despite overcoming the greatest crisis of his life, Maximilian was not satisfied. He still had a very big problem.
A huge problem that even the god of gears doesn’t seem to be able to solve.
The world Maximilian lives in is not perfect.

For him, the world was a broken work. It was a squeaky, shattered mass of noise filled with cacophony, narrowly rolling.
Some have room for improvement. Inefficient structures need to be improved. Broken machinery can be seen in the hand.
However, it could not be rewritten like a human.
Humans are unreasonable Blinded by greed, do you reject, jealousy, and envy of things that are as excellent as cogs? They see the same thing, understand each other differently, and even attack for no apparent reason. like the nerds of the nations.
Defective products with jagged teeth are the biggest problem in the world. Because of them, ‘qualified people’ like Maximilien have to live with useless friction.
have to fix But how?
There is a problem, and there is a solution. But there is no means.
In order to realize the ideal, it is necessary to create a community equivalent to a country or city, but the wanderers who fled from the country did not have the foundation to accomplish such a large-scale work.
It was around the time that Maximilian’s troubles deepened.
Out of nowhere, the sky opened and an angel descended. Having said that he had been watching him, the angel made an offer to Maximilian.
Wouldn’t you like to build a country?
Maximilian did not believe in God. God didn’t give him the hands to hold onto him.
But the angel in front of you is not God. It is just the weapon of Seonghwangcheong that has been tainted by the world.
I don’t believe in God, but I can believe in weapons. Maximilien took the angel’s hand.
Chen Tong was a monarch. I saw, evaluated, and gave orders in one sitting.
Young-gwe was the executioner. The closest to Ten Tong, she was a Tian Tong’s blade, a heartless gardener who thinned out the army as needed.
And the cadets were the designers.
Various military facilities, inventions, policies, etc. came out of his head. From the self-designed wagon to the large-scale alchemy steel smelter, there is nothing that he did not reach. Even the meta-conveyor belt, praised as a masterpiece of the military, was made at Maximilian’s suggestion.
The original plan was to encircle the army with tens of millions of cog wheels, not earth technology, and if you ask if that is realistic, you will have to tilt your head, but anyway, the achievement should be highly appreciated.
Of the three six generals from the outside, it was Maximilian who did the most work, none other. It wasn’t a matter of diligence, it was because Maximilien genuinely enjoyed his job. For him, the military state was the largest and most elaborate toy, as well as a testing ground for his ideals. Maximilien took advantage of the period of chaos peculiar to the newly founded country, and even carried out somewhat radical actions.
Hatred for the kingdom, hope that blossomed from a land burned with hatred, an outstanding leader named Gunung and the three men he brought with him. In the midst of a miracle-like performance, the military revived greatly. Some were abandoned, but there were plenty of cogs to put back on. It didn’t matter much to Maximilian.
Obviously, Maximilien succeeded.
But it was essentially a failure.
I tried to use a human as a part, but the part doesn’t move as intended. It tried to pop out like a spring when pressed forcibly, and even though it was informed that it would be discarded if it was released, it did all kinds of eccentricities. No matter how painstakingly polished it was, defective products hid the jagged blades and hid in the machine, causing a fatal malfunction.
Maximilian could not bear the loss. As long as there are such losses, the ideal machine he desires cannot be made.
Unless you fix the ‘human’.
“Congratulations, Maximilian. You did a great job finding me. You are thinking of making a land where you can step into the abyss and putting the king of dogs in it. I’m completely hooked.”
Whoops. Finally, this person sees the main lamp. It took a long time.
The expression is a bit strange, but Maximilian was ‘stuck’ by Historia’s bullets and fell out. Literally on the verge of death.
But he’s still alive, and he’s a powerful man who can kill me with just the lift of a finger.
I’ve got to go quickly and kill him. Historia collapsed from exhaustion. there’s no one else to do but me
I looked down at the ground from the edge of the steel beetle. The height of the steel beetle is 4 m. It seemed too dangerous to just jump down below the shards of shattered concrete.
If you are in perfect condition, you will be able to land nicely by mobilizing all items and falling methods. But now, I was also a bum.
‘Earth’ is the largest magnet. By utilizing it, the magnetism of Clover 6 was maximized. It was strong enough to break the trajectory of the flying steel, but there was one problem.
You can magnetize steel to attract it, but you cannot repel it.
In other words, all those blades flew towards the card I was holding. Even though I wrapped my arms tightly with the queen of cloth, dozens of cutlery brushed past my arm, and it became a rag along with the queen of cloth.

Fortunately, the placenta deviated in a circular arc, so it’s a pity. If something like a spear was a direct hit, I would have had to ask Maximilien to make a prosthetic arm.
I guess I won’t be able to use my left hand for a while. After tying the queen of cloth tightly to stop the bleeding, she carefully stepped down the cogs that grew like stairs.
“So I’m even more sorry. Your wishes are strong and interesting, but unfortunately I cannot make your wishes come true. I am the king of humans. The spokesperson for all human beings… Even if it was, I have no power and can’t represent it now. Now all I have left is to listen to the wishes of the person in front of me.”
Maximilian blinked. His condition was dire.
There is a large hole in the chest. Blood-soaked cogs, carefully stuffed inside the skin, reflected an abominable figure. The cogwheels were spinning non-stop in the midst of this, but most of them were horribly broken, and some were dented and digging up his flesh at every turn.
“On the other hand, are your wishes for all humans? But since I can’t convince all humans, I’m trying to convince a single being, the king of humans. So did you need me?”
No matter how much you command, the muscles don’t move. Instead, only the gears that spread across his body followed his will. click. His prosthetic force forced his broken body to stand up. I don’t care if the muscles scream and the blood strays out of its trajectory, blatantly.
“You seem more like a human king than my incompetent me. Would you like to become a king instead of me?”
Maximilien opened his mouth. He first poured out a puddle of foamy blood, and then said hard.
“… If I can give it to you, I will take it sweetly.”
“haha. just joke. You’re not a king. Aside from not giving, what you want to be is a god, not a king. A god who wants to change the human species at will.”
“It’s a deception… . What you wrote a while ago… Obviously the power of the devil. You are the one, cool. It is not God.”
“no. This is the indigenous magic of Earth Mother Protestantism. I told you. I can steal other people’s unique magic and use them.”
“It will be… It is not God.”
“Because it’s not.”
He waved his arms, curled up in a cloth, up and down. Blood oozes from the violent movement. Considering the injury, it was something that should never have been done, but what about it? Maximilien in front of him was forced to stand up despite that. I also need to show some sincerity.
“Some unique magic touches the gods. We give a name that we fear to a god that has never existed before, and bind it to reality. The named god watches over the world, and man enjoys its grace. That’s why it’s called a unique mage and a demon at the same time. It is truly God. It causes irreversible change in all humans.”
the bottom of the abyss. In a land that neither light nor logic could reach, I discovered the memories of the great masters sealed by Seong Hwang-cheong.
Prior to Daejongsa, the god Mother was only a branch of folk beliefs, but after Daejongsa, it became a god who listened to human calls. Because Seonghwangcheong sealed this secret, earth magic could only be used by the gods, but it was still a human skill. With the presence of earth technology, human life has changed.
“That’s why you’re ordinary. Maximilian. Your cogs cannot change a human being.”
But what about the cogs?
It’s definitely useful. Depending on the design, several times the force or several times the precision of movement. You can turn force into rotation and vice versa.
useful. That’s it.
“Your prosthetic arm replaces a human arm, and the steel beetle is named after a worm. Shooting a spear with a javelin or pulling a bow with a hoist. All the functions that humans found first. imitate. That is the essence of your abilities.”
I stabbed his sore spot without mercy.
“Your ability to assemble small cogs and make something huge is outstanding. It’s admirable. But the cogs aren’t your creation. that was originally The principle of the cog wheel is not new. It’s just what you do best.”
He is a giant standing on the shoulders of giants. Big, strong, and will see farther than anyone.
But it never touches God. He knows this fact better than anyone.
Even if both of you know the truth, there are times when you have to be honest with yourself. Now was the time.
“You are a giant, you cannot be a god. I know the subject, beast.”
