Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint chapter 339

Possible in theory, virtually impossible

Peruvian Juggernaut, golden ship. The infinite castle sailing the sea of sand quietly moved through the lands of the nations.

Even strong wind blows, the steel body does not shake. It treads lightly on boulders and climbs steep hills smoothly. The name of the golden ship is not just colorless. Unlike the ocean, there were no waves on the land, so there was nothing to hinder the advance of the golden ship.

Living in a cabin below deck, we enjoyed a more comfortable trip than ever before. Tyr sat in his chair and evaluated the feeling of boarding the golden ship.

“It is soft and quiet. I can’t tell if I’m riding a mount or sitting in an elegant castle. It is the most delightful wonder I have seen in my near future.”

It didn’t show much on his face, but Peru replied happily.

“… Because it is a displacement move.”

“Substitutional move? Phew, what is that?”

Realizing that Peru isn’t very good at explaining, Tyr naturally turned his head toward me. I think I’m a vending machine with answers. I also don’t know what humans don’t know.

What. I read Peru’s thoughts, so I know, but I know.

“It is an ideal movement method that comes down to the strongest in theory in alchemy. Tyr, when you want to go fast, things in front of you usually get in the way, right? Like the wind colliding, or a stone that tumbles.”

“Or the sunlight.”

No, sunlight would not be included in that category. Anyway.

“If we dismantle such obstacles with alchemy the moment we touch them, the obstacles that should be in our way will not be able to stand in our way at all, right? You will be able to proceed without any obstruction.”

“Hmm. I guess so.”

“Yes. In addition, if you pass the disassembled obstacle and restore it to its original state, you can get the effect that the obstacle pushes your back, right? I also recover the mana I used to disassemble it.”

This is an alchemy-based technique that a genius came up with. Is a displacement move.

Thoughtful, Tyr understood the concept and clapped his hands.

“If that’s true, you’ll be able to move forward as if a fair wind is blowing even on the bare ground!”

“Theoretically, you can walk through the ground as if you were walking. It’s ‘theoretically’ anyway.”

As is the case anywhere else in the world, what is theoretically possible implies virtually impossible. If it had become like a horse, it wouldn’t have come down as a legend.

“Actually, it takes time to dismantle an obstacle with alchemy, and if it is not properly dismantled, the mana remnants become an obstacle, and no matter how hard you try to reconstruct it, you cannot get back the consumed mana with 100% efficiency. It’s close to impossible.”

“Close means not impossible, right?”

“I heard rumors that there are wildcats that travel underground by displacement. Do you use the name Mole instead of Seungnyangi? However, it is said to be too slow compared to the theory, so it is impossible to use it except when ambush a sleeping opponent. Even with a human body, how would you turn it into a device? Absolutely not.”

After I said this, Tyr tilted his head and asked again.

“But you said you did.”

“What?”

That’s right. How did you do it?

The power to disintegrate matter even if it has unique magic. It’s not a universal skill like alchemy, it’s just a very limited ability that only Peru has. Utilizing that ability and applying it to a Juggernaut this big… ?

There’s no other way to explain it. Are you the same human? Even I, the king of men, can’t guess what kind of monster it is.

“This must also be the dignity of the Golden Sutra.”

“… Hmm.”

In the meantime, Peru, who heard me, snorted lightly and was satisfied. I didn’t really compliment you, so why are you shrugging? Have you become one with the golden mirror? Are compliments directed at the Golden Goblet regarded as compliments to you?

“Cee! This is a scam!”

Also, in the midst of that, there is a person who hears the praise of the nations as an insult to the military and an insult to himself. Hilde stamped her feet to express her displeasure.

“They don’t even know the structure of the Juggernaut. I don’t even know how it works! I’m just wearing it because it was given to me by the golden mirror! Unlike the Cataphracts of the military, there is no blood, sweat, or effort in the Juggernaut!”

“… This, too, is the dignity of the golden mirror.”

You liked that comment. Use it right away

Hilde, whose medicine was fully loaded, grumbled.

“You look great, really!”

Bang. Hilde stomped her feet with a little displeasure mixed into her qi gong. It was a kick with destructive intentions, but the Juggernaut was not distorted in the slightest, let alone broken.

This must also be the dignity of the golden mirror. Cancer.

“Cheet! I can’t. ‘I’ must also not show the dignity of the military!”

“Do you have anything to show in the military? Surely it’s not like a cooking technique demonstration, is it? I would advise you just in case, but that’s not something to brag about. The more you do it, the lower your nationality will be.”

“Hey, do you think ‘I’ is an old man? It can’t be! Father, keep your mouth shut!”

Hilde, who was frantic, pointed at her as if she had suddenly appeared.

“Oh, that’s right. Aji was chasing her horse on her deck, Peru?”

“… Ah.”

Aurea, a Peruvian horse, grazes in a small field on the deck. Until now, Aurea would have lived a comfortable and pleasant life on the moving ground, but now that Aji was there, she was constantly suffering.

Aji drove her horse at her leisure, barking from side to side and trying to get in her way. The cowardly Aurea howled sadly, and Peru had to climb up and remove Aji each time. No matter what anyone says, I listened to people pretty well.

“… I will be back.”

Upon receiving the report from Hilde, Peru quickly opened the door and went up to the deck. Her Hilde smiled her sullenly at her, and, mortifying her steps, followed her secretly.

After a while.

“Peru” Trudged back. ‘Peru’ with a puzzled face looked around and asked.

“… Liar. Where are you?”

Tyr answered with a puzzled look at the sudden remark.

“A liar, I don’t know who you are talking about.”

“… Aurea. They are grazing.”

“As for Hilde, didn’t she follow you a while ago? Didn’t you see?”

“… Huh.”

“Looks like you’re up to something. To be ironic, go away Hughes.”

“Why are you looking at me here? I did not play any role in Hilde’s ego formation. There is a degree to responsibility without pleasure.”

She’s not really a daughter. Just as I was making excuses that weren’t excuses, the door leading to the deck opened again. In the place where everyone’s eyes gathered, Peru walked in with a grumpy face.

“… Liar. Where are you?”

Peru and ‘Peru’ met.

Peru’s face turned pale. Similarly, ‘Peru’ panicked and then shuddered as if she was frightened. The two glared at each other like cats with sharp edges, alert.

“… What is this?”

“… Who?”

An unprecedented situation where the same person becomes two people. However, Tyr, who had already experienced Hilde’s transformation, quickly recognized what had happened.

“As expected, this is a joke. Is that again? Transformation?”

“… Transformation, alcohol?”

“… Did you transform into me?”

Only then did he understand, Peru relaxed a little and began to take a look at the other person. Their faces, clothes, and even their height and body shape matched perfectly. He seems to have copied the parts that can be seen and copied as they are.

It didn’t make sense, but the technology reached a level close to it. It’s not strange to be amazed, but… Peru showed even greater reluctance.

‘… It can’t be. Homunculus cannot be made. Know. I know….’

Homunculus?

hahahaha. What do you say A homunculus is an impossible concept beyond displacement. The reason that Hilde, who has reached the stage, can never materialize Lee is because her transformation cannot even read the human mind.

But it’s impossible to clone a human as it is. Why are you seriously worried about something that only appears in old stories….

Oh, no way? Is that also the dignity of the golden sutra?

Hmmm. This is not the time. Hilde’s prank is hurting Peru too much. If it were me, she would have read her mind with mind reading and walked the tightrope, but she is impossible for Hilde.

“Ehh, Hilde. Stop and reveal yourself. It’s not like I’m playing pranks on people I’m not close with yet.”

Then, ‘Peru’ opened her eyes wide and asked again.

“… Do you know who it is?”

“Don’t pretend it’s not. The one you just said is Hilde.”

“… How?”

Are you going to let go of your pretense until you understand it? I figured it out by mind reading, but I’ll give you a more convincing explanation if you’d like.

“Tell me why. First. Hilde went out later than Peru. And after she disguised herself, the two never saw each other. By very simple logic, that means that Hilde is between the real Peru and this room.”

“… But, she might have hidden in the middle.”

“Second. Hilde’s intention was to surprise Peru, right? If you think about it normally, it would be more shocking if you already ‘exist’ another me than when another me ‘enters’ from outside the door.”

“It’s just a heart attack.”

“It doesn’t matter if I can’t prove it. A sufficiently convincing explanation is sufficient. In the first place, now I can’t even speak.”

The face of ‘Peru’ has gradually diversified. She puffed out her cheeks in displeasure from her original expressionless expression, and then grumbled, kicking his foot curtly. Before she knew it, her appearance had changed to Hilde’s.

“Really! This is why my father told me to keep my mouth shut!”

“I heard. I just didn’t listen.”

“Really bad! Taking away ‘my’ few joys!”

That’s a lie. It is true that transformation is one of Hilde’s few pleasures, but its purpose is opposite.

Hilde doesn’t transform to avoid getting caught, she transforms because she wants to be caught by someone. Even if she transforms, she hopes that someone will immediately realize herself.

Why are you grumbling when you do what you want? I want to be honest…. No, do you still like it?

“Do you admit it now? I can easily see through Hilde’s disguise. To a magician who deals with psychology, transformations that mimic only appearances are as clear as looking into the palm of your hand.”

As I showed off, Tyr responded with a small clap.

“As expected, Phew. The time I knew Peru was short, so I couldn’t guess at all, but you figured it out right away.”

“What? Tyrkanjaka? You say as if you can guess if you’ve known each other for a long time?”

Hilde argued and listened as if this could not be passed on. Tyr replied, taking that smile leisurely.

“Of course. How many times have I seen it, so I don’t know.”

“You didn’t know when ‘me’ changed to father, but now you are confident?”

“Even then, I was doubtful. However, I didn’t know your ability, so I didn’t pass it up. Now that you know your strength, it’s clear.”

“Hey. That’s right. But what? Did ‘me’ get to know the other person better as well?”

Cheer. Sparks flew between the two women. Hilde shouted, holding her chin upright.

“Let’s face it! Where, guess ‘my’ transformation!”

“If it’s a joke, try it as much as you like. It will not be suitable for travel.”

While the two glared at each other, Peru watched their fight with a puzzled expression.

‘… What are you doing in someone else’s house?’
