Champion System – 2
Yes.
I was skeptical of Kayld until the very end before the return.
The ‘me’ of that era also doubted Caled.
‘And just like I failed before the return… … .’
I shut my eyes softly.
“I must have been a failure at that time. Because the world we saw earlier has been shattered.”
“… … Yes. I’m sorry.”
Even though I close my eyes, I can feel the party members looking at me.
I slowly opened my eyes and said.
“Is the story going to be the same?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Before the return, I clearly failed. But you’ve gone back seven years and you’ve overthrown Caled.”
“… … .”
“I, who participated in the project of that era, failed once, but… … .”
“you’re right. You are also very smart.”
Someone was reflected on the screen window that was raised earlier.
dark space.
A human being is seen falling as if falling endlessly into the deep sea.
The face and hair color were all different from me, but I could be sure.
“That… … .”
“It’s called Maid.”
Neryl spoke for me with a serious expression on her face.
The party members opened their eyes and glared at the screen.
The eyes of an intact battery can see ‘everything’.
Even the thoughts of the people on the screen.
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Maid in the abyss thought.‘It failed.’
has failed
I warned people about Kayle’s suspiciousness, but in the end, I couldn’t come to terms with it.
Still, the people of the ‘universe’ believed in Kayld as a savior.
I fanaticized that dark-eyed guy to die.
What did I lack compared to him?
‘The ability is better than me.’
not alone
He had the confidence to overpower Caled in every division.
Even those who believed and followed Cald couldn’t deny that.
‘Then what I lacked compared to him… … .’
Fame.
reputation was lacking.
‘But why am I thinking like this now?’
The world would have been destroyed when the vessel that Kayle had stolen from his greed was broken.
That was then.
dump.
I felt my body touch the floor.
At the same time, the light of the abyss, which was filled with darkness, lights up.
The room became brighter and brighter.
Complex equipment and materials.
All sorts of papers and reports.
Numerous conference rooms.
Scattered chairs or tables.
Coffee pots, etc., installed in the hopes of helping even a little bit in working all night long.
This was the research institute given to Maid as a ‘project participant’.
“Where are you?”
“Ugh. Maid?”
“no!”
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Maid quickly turned around.He wasn’t the only one in this place.
His precious comrades were also down there.
The head of the ‘Humanity Salvation Project’ was Kayle, but of course he did not lead the project alone.
There were countless experts who excelled in their respective fields.
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Maid paid particular attention to these people and picked and picked the talents who seemed like a good fit for him.And by secretly contacting them, he succeeded in scouting his own ‘laboratory’.
Of course, there was the basic task of project research, but informal meetings were often held to observe and discuss Kayle’s suspicious points together.
The employees working in such a ‘Mid Lab’ are lying on the floor.
The number is exactly 300.
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Maid shook each of them to wake them up.“Everyone get up.”
“Ah, boss? Where are you?”
“Obviously at the last minute… … Oh, my head hurts.”
“My body aches.”
“Are we all dead?”
“Damn you Kaleid.”
“I think I saw something swallowing my palm at the end. Is it a dream?”
“No. I saw it too.”
“What shape is that? How did the aura of wealth take its shape?”
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Maid was unable to answer any of the countless conversations.That was then.
toothpaste.
The huge central screen prepared for monitoring suddenly flickered on my own.
All the noisy lab people looked at the place holding their breath.
After the noise that seems to come from an old TV with poor radio wave disappears.
Text was written on the screen.
-1-20kqpsio11@@#$!gDㅃ[P[Q]
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Maid looked up at the screen blankly.tuk.
Then someone hit him on the back.
“Maid, what do you think of that?”
“Neryl.”
Neryl can be said to be the best of the Maid Labs.
When I first brought him here, he was very talented, but he was so cold-hearted that I wondered if he would be able to adapt to people.
But she has changed a lot. Mainly for the good.
Now, in his absence, he thought it would be good to entrust the research institute.
Then a voice came from the other side.
“They are sending us signals from unknown sources.”
“You know it just by looking at it. I asked what the signal meant.”
“Now we have to study. I’m going to be doing research here, so I’m going to do my research, so Neril is rubbing my shoulder.”
“Actually, you have reached the age of fifty, too.”
“Can you give me some advice as a senior who first met his 50s?”
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Maid touched her forehead and said.“Now is not the time for the two of us to fight. Neryl, and… … .”
He continued with a sigh.
“Bion.”
“… … .”
I’ve been meaning to just watch, but I can’t do it anymore.
“Wait a minute!”
“Yes, tell me. After all, the next screen is a repetition of the boring research for a while.”
“No, why is Neryl out there? And why are you coming out of there?”
It’s not just these two.
Xenia said in a trembling voice.
“Look over there. Me too!”
“Right. Ms. Xenia was not a scout, but someone who applied as a freshman. I remember being in charge of food expenses for the institute.”
“uh… … I think I heard some very harsh words right now.”
“The same goes for others. If you look carefully, you will often see your face on the screen.”
It was just as Bion said.
On the screen, there are adwindows and offenses.
There were both Serene and Ressel.
And there was ‘Bion’ who laughed, cried, and got angry with them.
I said in a trembling voice.
“Are you saying you were also a member of my party?”
“At the time, we were just co-workers. There was a hierarchical relationship based on your title, but you’re not the type to think about it that much.”
“… … .”
“Besides, it’s not just you. Let’s take a closer look.”
We all swallowed our saliva and stared at the screen.
There are definitely more familiar faces.
“What, what? That stupid man over there. And the woman next to him.”
“Did you call me Grade? Did you call me Lissel?”
“If you haven’t heard it wrong, it’s Lephia… … .”
“Leon-sama is there too.”
Yes.
The people who worked in the so-called Maid Lab were all the heroes I had met!
How should I interpret this? Serene said as she tied her hair.
“Wait. That person over there is called Impelium? It looks a lot different.”
“The woman next to him must be Serrad.”
The Impelium on the screen is reporting to me with a serious expression.
Serrad is gently rubbing his back.
In the end, I couldn’t stand it and told Bion.
“Please explain with your mouth, not the screen. Jeon Ji-yeon’s eyes show only necessary scenes later.”
“It is.”
drop.
Bion said with the screen window removed.
“I don’t know if you checked the time zone on the screen a while ago, but that era was 230,000 years before the beginning of the Demon King destroyed the world.”
“… … ?”
“In a nutshell, you went back 230,000 years. with your lab. And with my co-workers.”
“230,000 years? How the hell is that possible?”
“We didn’t know who sent us back for 230,000 years. At least at that point.”
I pondered for a moment and asked.
“If I hadn’t known at that point… … You mean you found out later?”
“yes. But it will be easier to understand if I explain them in chronological order, so let me tell you our guess at that point.”
“okay.”
“Made said that maybe the law was in trouble.”
“Rule?”
“The universe revolves around many laws.”
Simply put, from the law of attraction to each other with weight.
Even the complex movement of the invisible micro-world.
All are moving according to established laws, Bion said.
I couldn’t understand a single word of what he was saying.
“At that time, Maid expressed it like this. The law may have been lonely.”
“… … ?”
“Not a single creature knew how the universe worked. But only humankind was able to explore, discover, and study those laws one by one.”
“… … .”
“So the Law loved mankind… … He smiled and said, “Isn’t that what it is?” Of course, it sounded like a joke to researchers like us.”
Still, he said he couldn’t find any other explanation that went beyond that ‘light joke’.
Bion continued.
“Anyway, we continued our research, and we were able to guess what the so-called ‘law’ wanted us to do.”
“what is that.”
“The permanence of mankind.”
“… … .”
“According to Maid’s joke, the Law could not have seen humanity destroy itself. That’s why I told you to return 230,000 years of time and start over from here.”
“Why must it be 230,000 years?”
“I guessed that the law seemed to have been ‘we must use our hands from that point on to prevent the destruction of mankind’.”
She spoke softly.
“Anyway, the previous sentence could not be interpreted at all, so we decided to focus on researching the energy of the 40 billion copies left in the lab.”
40 billion wealth?
“The vessel and storage tank to hold the energy of 80 billion wealth in the Humanity Rescue Project were the work of our lab. What… … The finished product was taken by Kayle, and what was left in the lab was a prototype.”
“… … But why 40 billion? It must have been said that there were 80 billion people at that time.”
“I think we spent 40 billion dollars to bring us back. The remaining 40 billion energy was left for us to use to create a ‘new world’.”
“A rule?”
“Yes. I guessed that way back then.”
Bion’s tone of voice from before was a little strange.
She was speaking on behalf of our position in ‘that era’ to the present.
At the time, I was thinking this and that, like that.
‘Then there is a slight difference between the speculation and the truth at that time.’
Bion paused for a moment and took a sip of the tea he had prepared.
At this point, we felt like we were just hearing an interesting old story.
So, one by one, she reached out to the sandwich she had prepared.
After a while, Bion said.
“With the energy of 40 billion wealth, we have created countless things for the world. For example, the ability to peek at the ‘secrets’ developed to make the world easier to manage.”
“You mean the eyes of the battery.”
“yes. And the ability to check the list of sins people have committed.”
“… … It’s my piglet.”
“Through that, I was able to gauge how much wealth was accumulating.”
We were completely immersed in Bion’s story.
Serene asked, with a bright eye, if she had decided to enjoy it at all.
“Are you there again? It’s a lot of fun.”
“Well, a way to separate souls, or to create an underworld for the dead to go to.”
“Did you create the underworld?”
“yes. It was Mr. Ardwin’s idea. Posing for some weird pose. Even though I was already an adult a long time ago.”
“The future for Ardwin is bleak… … .”
“I also created energy such as mana and divine power and sprinkled it on the world. I hope it will help humanity in any way.”
Lissel asked.
“What else?”
“The spirits were also made by us. Needless to say… … .”
“It’s my idea!”
“no. I am.”
“… … .”
“But when I was immersed in my research, I made late-night snacks, so I have a small share of Mr. Rissel.”
“It’s not very comforting.”
That’s how ‘we’ made this world.
In a way that is helpful to mankind in any way.
The sun rose at the right time and set at the right time.
The sowing of the seed made the grain bear fruit.
The cattle were fattened, the seasons were changed, and the wind was blown.
“Basically, the ‘old world’ was almost exactly the same. It was only to the extent that the extinction that had occurred several times in the previous era did not exist for mankind.”
“why? If I had that kind of divine power, I could have gifted him to heaven.”
“It was great that the energy source that was given to us, 40 billion wealth, was not infinite. Plus… … That’s what Maid-nim’s claim was.”
She glanced at me and smiled.
“Don’t get too involved. Don’t expect anything. We will take care of it so that it does not perish.”
“… … .”
“That was Maid’s policy.”
“It’s really the same as it was then and now.”
“You are a person whose strength is consistency.”
hooch.
drink tea again
Neryl said with her arms crossed.
“Listening to what you say, it seems like things that didn’t happen in a day or two?”
“Sure. It’s something that has been accomplished over 230,000 years.”
“You said you survived those long years without going crazy?”
“We wondered, too, but as we went back 230,000 years, we speculated that the Law was doing something to our minds.”
If not, there is no explanation.
Bion said playfully.
“In the first place, instead of asking how I was able to stay sane in the first place, shouldn’t I start by asking how I survived those long years?”
“Considering that he possessed 40 billion wealth of energy, it’s not that surprising. Even me alone has been alive for over 200 years.”
“Come to think of it, he was about 23,200 years old.”
“I don’t think I got along very well with you.”
“Anyway, we made so many things, but most of them were just side branches. The core of our work is different.”
You seem to know what it is before you even hear it.
“It’s a warrior system.”
