Genius Engineer in the Labyrinth - Chapter 333



Only Noblemtl

The image begins to take shape from the very beginning of the cultivation of magical power. Like clay just dug out of the river, it is soft and changes constantly under the influence of cultivation methods, culture, society, and human relationships.

As your training deepens and your values ​​become established, they become so solid that even you cannot easily change them.

The human mind is like a reed, and it is often mistaken about its own image. It is difficult to say that recognizing a form means knowing the inner self.

Above all, it is very difficult to face it directly. One of the conditions for reaching depth 6 is to properly recognize the image.

“How are you, sir?”

“I don’t know. Do you want to take a look?”

Alan looked through the mana heart, an illusory yet real organ, into the magic eye. Taylor’s artificial mana heart was handmade, so its shape was distinct, and its interior was ordinary.

This is because Taylor only matched the power by cheating. If he does that, he will have a very hard time getting to depth 6.

Shiva happened to be at home too. He opened the door of his mind to help Alan, and released his divine powers one by one.

Alan peered inside, penetrating the veil he had not recognized. The last remaining form of divine power was a circular light source, and it was very small at the moment.

“It’s spreading warmth around. Is that the sun?”

“Yes, that is the ultimate goal that I hope to reach someday. Just as my mother bestowed grace upon all things, I will do the same.”

Although he transcended the realm of the priest by embedding the remains of a saint in his body, his goal as a priest was clear.

Alan took his eyes off Zion, who was crossing her legs seductively the moment her gaze met his. She didn’t need to look.

“Aren’t you curious? When the junior turns his head away with a cold look, the senior looks so sad···.”

“I saw it last time.”

“So you don’t like it?”

Zion spread her arms wide as if asking for someone to look at her. Alan opened his eyes again and observed her.

“Okay, feel free to look around.”

Inside the Manahat, a sword stood vertically. The sword beat like a heart and spread magnificent power. The shape of the sword spread like a wave and covered Zion’s body.

“The sword is the senior, and the senior is the sword.”

“How was it? Can you tell me what you thought?”

Taylor interrupted before Alan could speak.

“Ma-an is really a fraud. He can see the mind.”

“To be exact, it is a form of mana that has been heavily influenced by the image. It is not a real image.”

“You can see it at least roughly.”

“Senior or Shiva may have simple forms, and they can do it because they trust me. However, one side is not the whole picture. Even if you see it, there must be a lot of things inside that I don’t know about.”

In the end, we know our own minds best. We also know ourselves the least.

The mind has always been like that. So what defines a person is their actions. If you have good thoughts but do something crazy, you are a bad person. If you have bad thoughts but do something good, you are a good person.

To be blunt, Alan gained nothing from observation. You can’t look into your own mind by looking at other people’s minds.

There was plenty of time to think anyway. The buffalo was learning combat through the box and the leopard, and the crystal mining work was still left, so they had to stay on the ground. If the only miner went to the labyrinth, it was obvious that the future would be one where the Breaker, the City University, and the Eselma Tower would all grumble at the same time.

Alan looked at his Manaheart. It was thicker than Zion, Taylor, and Shiva combined. Every time he peeled off a layer of an onion, fatigue prickled his brain and eyes.

Finally, all the layers of the curtain were removed, and inside, there was only magic power that was as thick as the ocean.

“How is your junior?”

“There is no distinct shape.”

“It must mean that anything can happen.”

As the saying goes, ‘existence through observation’, there were times when the imagery was like that. After thinking for a while, Alan opened his eyes.

“Sir, is there anything that can help me enter the unconscious state?”

“It will be hard to find.”

“Not in Breaker. As far as I know.”

“We exist, but only those with divine powers can do so···.”

Taylor tapped the arm of the sofa and snapped her fingers.

“Oh, I wonder if Sister would have a solution?”

“If it’s the president of Yohwa…. It might be possible if we use a plant that induces hallucinations.”

He is a master of pharmaceuticals who can easily perform even the most difficult of procedures, so he must have a trick or two. Taylor’s eyes became unfocused and then clear.

“They told me to come once. Let’s go right now. I’ll go with you.”

“You met us yesterday.”

“A good person is always happy to see you. You should meet someone like that too.”

No matter how much Taylor thought about it, Alan was far from love or marriage. If he felt he needed a child, it wouldn’t have been strange for him to go somewhere and get an egg and ‘make’ one.

‘The only person with any chance is···.’

It was Zion. As soon as the story about ‘good people’ came up, he was looking out the window with a proud expression. He showed a mature and emotional side after the 50th floor incident.

‘You can’t fool my eyes.’

The aura of a fool who only knows the sword flowed inwardly. He was just like a child pretending to be an adult. Even if his emotions deepen and his knowledge increases, his true nature will remain the same.

Alan and Taylor took a monorail ride for the first time in a long time. The rails, which spread out like a spider web between the buildings, provided visual pleasure to the passengers.

It’s just because I’ve seen it for a long time, but if I saw it every day, I would feel the gray dullness. Like people who have completely surrendered their bodies to the sway of the monorail.

In an area where pharmaceutical factories are concentrated, there is a huge greenhouse that stands out with its splendid splendor. That place is Western Sky.

The transparent windows were not glass, but special leaves that had been modified by Yohwa, and it would not be wrong to say that the entire building was a plant.

As I entered, a graceful-looking demon with long black hair came out to greet me.

“Isn’t this too often? It’s been a while, Alan.”

Because Taylor came to get the blood-salting flower seeds that would revitalize the body on Alan’s behalf.

“hello.”

“You come here often. I came because I missed you.”

“oh···.”

Alan wasn’t interested in their lovemaking. He ignored the stickiness between them and went to see the botanical garden as usual.

Kyuureuk?

The little boy’s eyes followed the fairies hiding everywhere. Judging by the way their tiny wings flapped, it seemed like they wanted to fly too.

The fairy came over after a long greeting.

“You want to enter the unconscious?”

“yes.”

“I’ve prepared everything, so come in. I don’t know if it will work or not, but let’s give it a try. It’s nonsense to just watch because you’re afraid of the challenge.”

Alan took off his power suit in the greenhouse. Before that, he released a fierce magical power to chase away all the fairies wandering around.

“Why are you suddenly like that? What’s wrong?”

Alan responded to the fairy’s question with action. He reached into his power suit and grabbed the boy.

I was planning on getting a health checkup while I was here. I think it looks fine, but I don’t know what a specialist would think.

The boy who had been caught quietly struggled when his eyes met with the fairy’s. However, the fairy was a flower fairy. The boy also sensed the harmless aura and became quiet.

“Oh my, this isn’t Drake’s larva… right?”

“I bet it’s true.”

“Oh my, oh my, oh my.”

Alan passed the boy over and spread his arms. A vine stretched out from somewhere and wrapped itself around his body, forcing him to lie back. It was as if he was sitting in an easy chair.

As the fairy waved her hand, flower buds descended. They burst in front of Alan, sprinkling colorful, sparkling powder on his face.

“Don’t refuse, just breathe slowly.”

“···.”

“Your mind will slowly settle down.”

“···.”

But Alan’s eyes were wide open. He was a little dizzy, but his mind quickly cleared up. The demon placed his palm on his cheek.

“Even though it’s a lethal dose, your mental barrier is so thick that you can withstand it.”

“Wait, lethal dose?”

“What are you thinking? Don’t you know my abilities?”

The witch was Alan’s personal physician, so she knew a lot about the body. She nagged Taylor and manipulated the plants. She put all sorts of plants and spores into the slightly opened flower buds.

The flower bud tilted and poured a clear liquid into Alan’s mouth.

“It’s a concentrate. It’ll work this time.”

“is it so?”

“You’re still fine… Calm down your magic as much as possible.”

It took a few more pours of the ingredients for the effect to appear.

“Four months’ worth of income to put one person to sleep···.”

The voice of the fairy dispersed like a dream. My vision became blurry and then my surroundings became dark.

A space filled with darkness greeted Alan. As he looked around, a light burst out from somewhere. Before he could turn his head, his mind fell into an endless trance.

Alan opened his eyes and saw a shrunken hand.

‘8 years old? 10 years old? And here···.’

It was Lanka. There were shacks huddled together next to the railroad tracks. When the train passed by and the wind blew, they swayed as if they would fly away.

He saw the house where he lived as a child. Alan’s steps quickened and stopped in front of the door. His hands that were reaching for the door also became stiff.

Alan turned and left the place. The houses were in such a mess that the shacks seemed like the only symbol of wealth.

People who were living in poverty were lying around here and there. They were staring blankly into space with dead eyes. They were still even when flies were buzzing in front of their eyes.

Alan’s steps naturally led him to the garbage dump. Since the large ship was dumping a lot of garbage, he was able to find all kinds of things.

‘It’s been a while.’

Here I began to learn about the world and dream of magical engineering.

Alan picked up the newspaper that had been thrown on the ground. He could now read most of the words. It was, as if by accident, about the latest news from Maze City.

I put down the newspaper and went deep into the trash. I quickly picked up any knowledge storage media I saw, including books.

‘There were so many things I was curious about, past and present.’

If possible, I wanted to observe the world by tearing it apart. No matter how complicated it is, it would be easier if I tore it apart.

As if reflecting on those thoughts, a change occurred in my subconscious. I closed my eyes for a moment to the strong wind, and when I opened them, the mountain of trash in front of me had changed.

Instead of the garbage, the eyes of living beings or artificial eyes took their place. They were all different sizes, but they moved the same. The eyes looked at Alan.

Alan climbed the mountain with all eyes on him. At the very top, there was something shining.

‘Ah, that’s it.’

I realized the identity, but I wanted to see it for myself. When I reached the top and grabbed the light, it turned into small eyes.

The Eye of Akasha, the secret weapon of the Magic Engineers and the one that sees through all things. It was in line with Alan’s goal of observing the world by dissecting it.

The snow on the palm, which had returned to its normal size, turned to powder. Something was in Alan’s eyes, and for a moment, the world seemed to light up. In this state, it seemed as if he could see through anything.

The city where he lived as a child came into view, something that was too embarrassing to even call a city. Alan’s view reached the shacks next to the railroad tracks.

‘It exists as an observation.’

Then doesn’t that mean there’s a possibility before you see it? Alan closed his eyes before he could see inside the shack.

When I opened my eyes again, the sky had turned pitch black. And then Taylor’s face suddenly appeared.

“Did you succeed?”

“yes.”

The face that had been overflowing with worry brightened.

“Depth 6? Really? You’re crazy… Oh, I’m sorry.”

“Not now.”

But there was already a crack in the wall, and the crack was growing bigger in real time. Alan could see beyond.

I don’t regret not being able to climb now. Alan’s enlightenment has always been static, and the main areas of acquisition were learning and research. This time will be no different.

“What is the image?”

“Observation. Whether in the past or present, I have always wanted to examine everything.”

“It’s a calmer image than I thought. Wait, you want to take it apart? Are you saying you want to physically dismantle the world? Where? I have to answer before I go!”
