Genius Wizard Breaking Limits - Chapter 536

Episode 536 Beta (2)

If we use a human body analogy, the core of the golem is its heart and brain.

Within it is embedded the concept of a realm that protects the core along with the natural power that moves the golem’s body───magic power.

However, the golem created by the first Dark Lord, Oldark Ruin Arcanad, went beyond the limits of such innate self-preservation.

Intelligent Golem.

The creation of the greatest magical transcendent being in history, it lost the regenerative powers characteristic of natural golems, but instead broke free of reflexive instincts and began to think for itself.

Based on their own rational judgment, they began to make decisions about their actions, and curiosity, imagination, and even emotions began to appear.

This means that mental growth is possible by remembering and learning experiences gained through one’s own sense organs.

The more elaborate and complex something is, the further it is from being simple.

If that’s the case, then how complex is the structure of the core, which is the basis of a rational golem?

Naturally, it is on a completely different level from the normal golem hack.

Just as a wound to the heart can be healed by the miracles of the Church of Luas unless one becomes a saint, a brain injury cannot be reversed.

Fixing the core of an intelligent golem is no different than simply repairing damage; it’s like restoring a personality.

As is the case with Alpha, so is the case with Beta.

[… …Structure identified.]

Less than two days after beginning full-scale research, I had completed a full investigation of the Earth Golem that Verden had personally captured.

The results were as expected.

[Hit. Beta’s frame is a natural magical flow generated in the environment of the Great Forest. It matches a lot with a natural golem.]

A sample this detailed could go a long way toward advancing Beta’s dedicated frame design plans, a research project that has been stalled for months.

There were several ways to do it… …but Alpha, who already knew which one was the best, made his decision without a moment’s hesitation.

[Based on the production method of the Mini Golem. I will modify the entire Natural Earth Golem to fit Beta’s core. I will rebuild it with Beta’s frame.]

The steps are as follows:

First, the power source embedded in the core of the natural golem is changed from natural magic to the power source of the golem research facility.

Second, the core of the natural golem is processed to act as a kind of vessel and base, and the main cores previously separated from Beta’s core are transplanted to fill the interior.

In other words, it is about putting Beta’s personality at the center.

Third, the body of a natural golem with a height of about 2 meters is improved by being connected to the core and being .

By mobilizing all the capabilities of the Golem Research Facility.

Fourth, he welcomes the resurrection of his younger brother, Beta, with great praise from His Majesty Verden.

Twinkle!

A single eye flashed.

[Order to transport supplies.]

At Alpha’s unmistakable voice, the many golems waiting in line at the rear began to move busily.

Only the finest materials to be used in golem crafting have been carefully selected from the warehouse.

[Ready for modification.]

Alpha tilted his body and stared at the natural golem bound by magical chains. The intermittent trembling thing showed only mechanical hostility.

Natural golems, which were originally classified as a heteromorphic species, are, strictly speaking, difficult to call living creatures as they are commonly referred to in the world.

Not only is there no sense of pain, but there is no memory, and the thought process itself does not exist… … It is just like a defensive structure that crushes and kills everything that approaches within the radius in order to protect the core.

Alpha was determined to breathe life into it.

Beta has its own unique intelligence.

The brothers I met for the first time.

[… …Your Majesty the Demon King.]

Alpha was as eager and motivated as Verden to bring Beta back to life as soundly as possible.

Not only because he was my younger brother, but also because I was curious about what His Majesty the Demon King had been doing during the time he suddenly disappeared.

Creator and creation.

Was it intentional for parents to abandon their children, or was it unavoidable?

* * *

Even if the magic circle that is blocking the movement of the natural golem during the research is released, there is no problem with Alpha’s status.

With the power of the facility, it would be easy to subdue an earth golem.

While Alpha was busy restoring Beta, Verden spent his time in the depths of the Great Hall───the laboratory where the frozen ancient wizard was kept.

However, the ancient wizards of the past no longer exist.

Of course, Dahit Wesroel got rid of it before the Usurpation Chapter opened. Since the research was completed, leaving it alone would only be annoying.

Of course, the research records remain in the world as part of our memories.

“… … .”

With his eyes closed, Verden used his imagination to manipulate his limitless magical powers and focused on his own magical research.

For the upcoming plan to destroy the Bohemian Tower.

There are two things that you need to prioritize.

‘First, an all-out war with the Western Continent Magic Tower Alliance must be avoided at all costs.’

Bohemian Tower.

Diamun Tower.

Helion Tower.

Osteotop.

‘Of the four magic towers belonging to the Union, the Diamun Magic Tower had its leadership half annihilated by Dahit, and the Ostea Magic Tower is on my side, so there is no element to consider it a threat… … .’

It would be a reckless decision to confront the combined power of the two magic towers at the same time with only the power of Society and Black Hour.

It would be difficult to estimate the damage on both sides without even calculating it.

Above all, Verden’s purpose is not revenge or war. He has no intention of making unnecessary sacrifices to outsiders.

In other words, Verden’s plan is to defeat the Bohemian Tower leaders one by one.

‘That’s why we must be very careful.’

Even though Verden has been a worker at the Tower since he was eight years old, he doesn’t know everything about the Bohemian Tower.

The same goes for all the memories of Dahith Westroel.

Bohemian Tower Lord, Balok Vesias, is a wizard supremacist and a naturalist who values ​​hierarchy above all else.

A 7th-tier transcendent being who is known as a true omnipotent being who uses various magic circles, and is arrogant, cunning, and cruel.

‘That anomaly is dangerous.’

He has a selfish nature that does not limit the means and methods for his own benefit, regardless of efficiency or anything else.

No matter what excuse is used, a direct confrontation like Dahit’s will not be accepted.

The key is containment.

A prison that can hold both Verden himself and Baloch Besias at the same time, as well as an execution ground from which no one can escape, are essential elements.

And secondly.

‘Secure Robelin’s safety from the Bohemian Tower.’

The time is coming when I will meet my childhood friend who grew up in the same orphanage.

Of course, it won’t be easy to explain and make people understand the situation so far, but I have already thought of a solution.

This is the new unique magic that Verden is currently creating little by little.

Now, the five-month period promised by the Grand Hall has been gradually shortened, and now there is about four months and close to fifteen days left.

You need to be more prepared than you were when you usurped the Black Hour. It may seem rushed, but there’s no problem.

Although it has not yet revealed itself to the world, the organization with Verden at the top is clearly a force of transcendence.

Unlike before, Verden is not alone.

“… … ?”

At that moment, Verden, sensing the sound coming from outside, gathered his strength.

The magic closed, and the density of magic power that had filled the sealed space decreased and disappeared in an instant.

Kuung.

The door was opened remotely via the main control panel of the main hall. A very familiar head of dark green hair came into view.

“Oh, did I bother you?”

Isabella, hiding behind the wall, asks with only her head sticking out.

Verden shook his head.

“I was planning on taking a break anyway, so don’t worry about it. By the way, have you decided on a direction for your research on Lisandro’s fruit?”

“There’s nothing particularly clear, and it hasn’t been that long since we started working together, but I think things will go smoothly. Professor Illite, no, Professor Aldernis, is more knowledgeable about alchemy than I am. Of course, I’ll surpass him later.”

Isabella shrugged and walked in slowly.

It seemed like a lot of fun to collaborate with the Academy professor who once taught alchemy.

anyway.

“So what happened?”

“Well, I have a favor to ask.”

Isabella clasped her hands together and turned to the side.

A hesitant gesture.

He glanced at Verden cautiously several times before continuing.

“Would you mind taking me to where my old house used to be?”

“house?”

“If I were alone, it would take a long time, but with Gaju’s ability, I could go and come back quickly without any time constraints… … Ah, of course, if you’re busy, you can just open the ! That’s fine… … But, if you go with Gaju, you can return to the Great Hall more quickly───”

Isabella continued to make arguments for persuasion.

The voice gradually gets faster.

It was easy to figure out her intentions without having to dig deep.

plural.

As the moment approaches to finally slay Croden Olentia, the first disciple of the Bohemian Tower Lord who had annihilated Isabella’s family…

Finally, I will try to sharpen my will once again.

‘There’s nothing to worry about.’

Verden answered.

“Okay, let’s go together.”

“……really?”

“I can give you as much time as you want for any favors you want. However, there are two urgent matters left, so take care of those first and then leave. I’ll be right back, so wait for me.”

It was a welcome permission.

Isabella nodded with the aforementioned expression, not hiding her joy.

“I’ll go and wait!”

She successfully persuaded him and waved her hand as she left.

… … This is my hometown.

Suddenly, Verden thought of the orphanage, but had no intention of going there.

At least for now.

It’s something to consider if you ever have the time.

Soon, the research completion time that Alpha had mentioned───210 hours had passed, and we moved to the Golem research facility.

[Welcome, Your Majesty Verden. This way.]

Alpha, who had been waiting in advance, immediately took the lead, pulling Verden’s sleeve.

* * *

A giant golem was reflected in the wall of Verden’s room as he entered Alpha’s laboratory.

“…Is this beta?”

Height is about 2.5 meters.

Attached to its thick, angular body is a head the size of a human torso, two long arms that reach the ground, and two small legs.

In particular, the shoulder armor on both sides developed into a rectangular shape, as if a large shield was attached, and it felt like a stone statue symbolizing protection.

[Beta. Little brother.]

Alpha explained that it was made by pouring all the technological capabilities of the research facility into making it capable of even fierce combat.

[Still asleep. I waited to wake him up with His Majesty Verden.]

“There was no need to wait that long. How do I wake him up?”

[Beta’s frame also has the characteristics of a mini golem. It can be powered by recharging with His Majesty Verden’s magic power or by continuously absorbing nature’s magic power.]

“So, you’re saying that all I have to do is inject magical power into the core inside my body?”

[Correct answer.]

There is no reason to delay.

Berden immediately approached Beta and placed his hand on her cold body. He activated his magical circuits and slowly concentrated his magical power.

The entire frame shuddered slightly, and then the core responded. At the same time, a single eye made of magical energy similar to Alpha’s on Beta’s head lit up.

───Koosh!

Beta, which was implemented as a quadruped, raised its arms once and touched the floor. The heavy weight caused vibrations to reverberate throughout the laboratory.

Clap clap clap.

[Beta. Resurrection success.]

“That’s amazing.”

Alpha applauded and congratulated him on his outstanding research achievement, and of course, Verden also gave him high praise.

It was then that I heard a voice.

[Absorption… … Conversion… … Fusion… … .]

Beta moved his head and looked down.

[I have detected that this is not a forest. Two unidentified entities have been detected. Attempting to scan immediately.]

The magical light that emanated from his eyes examined Verden. It was a moment that reminded him of when he first met Alpha.

[Race, unrecognizable.]

[Horoscope amount, cannot be measured.]

[Magic nature, cannot be specified.]

[Limited hierarchy, unmeasurable.]

[We have confirmed that the appearance is different but the characteristics are the same as the registrant. There is no error.]

[Identification successful.]

Beta bowed politely.

[Welcome back───The only ‘resistance’, His Majesty the Demon King.]
