Chapter 922 – #200_Cyberpunk and Witches (6)

One.
A transcendent who threw off her restraints and an outlaw who rejected even the rules of the witch society created by Keter.
Merit.
They do not hesitate to use humans as materials for magical research.
There are not a few people who kill humans just to kill people because they disregard human life.
Didn’t Urshira alone sink tens of thousands of sailors right now?
However, unlike these acts, Urshira does not particularly hate humans.
The point of view of public servants is not very different from that of medieval aristocrats towards serfs.
Just as the majority of nobles dismissed serfs as ‘natural beings’ simply because they were educated, powerful, and wealthy.
His achievements are beautiful, he lives eternal life, and he looks down on humans because he has special powers.
So just despise it.
Hatred and contempt are completely different perspectives even though they look similar at first glance in terms of negative emotions.
Hatred is accompanied by disgust and strong hostility or malicious intent toward the object.
Contempt, on the other hand, only regards the object as worthless.
If you are not equal, there is no need to be hostile.
No matter how stupid and ugly humans are, you don’t even have to care.
[Hello. Welcome to Witch Beach]
[I am Dum Dum, the manager of Witch Beach]
[If you select a work from the kiosk and proceed with payment, you will receive a Playroom key]
[The device is currently under maintenance, so please use the back door kiosk]
The expressions of Urshira and Priscilla, who visited the Witch Beach under the guidance of a solicitor drone, did not show the expression of an aristocrat who had already gone out.
Ursira silently watched the video flowing through the kiosk.
Horrible images of witches being played like human toys and even trampling apprentice witches.
“Hey, this is really… Is it?”
“…”
Urshira is a feat.
They kill even the same witch without hesitation, and if they can afford it, they use it as a toy.
If you live longer and the stimulation becomes dull, you might someday have an apprentice witch in your bed.
Ur Shi-ra’s misdeeds to her witch were no different from the video streaming over her kiosk.
“I didn’t particularly hate humans until now…”
Even so, she feels indescribable anger and humiliation.
Killing and humiliating nobles are only permitted acts for nobles.
It is an act that a human being who is only an object of contempt should not dare to cross.
“Do you have any reason to hate me now?”
We still don’t know what this city of Urshi means.
However, given enough time for humans who have come to grasp the existence of witches.
Just as the aristocratic class, which seemed to be immortal, was caught up in the fire of revolution and was guillotined, this world may become real.
“These dog, dog, dog bastards… !!!”
Priscilla sobbed.
It is not that we shed tears over the tragedy of individual witches or apprentice witches.
In a sense, exploits are like extreme witchism.
They are witches who ignored Keter’s ‘coexistence order with humans’ and decided that the only duty of witches was to sharpen their magic.
The image of the witch, who was horribly ruined by human hands, must have turned into unbearable anger.
“This, a place like this… You can’t leave it behind!”
Priscilla’s bangs fluttered, and light began to flow in the aftermath of the reflected magic light.
“Hey, what are you trying to do?”
“Boo, I’ll break it!”
“Stop it right now. I’m not kidding.”
Urshira agrees with Priscilla’s anger.
However, to make up for this humiliation, it was enough to obtain her lock and go out into the present world.
It was good to use the locks to dry the human seeds and rule out the possibility of a very small revolution.
If there is a lock here, shouldn’t we dig through the ruins like a mole?
“Me too! Joke! No!!!!”
However, Priscilla had eroded her entire gear with her own magnetic magic.
Underground malls in developed human societies were much stronger than normal buildings, but at best they were nothing more than mall buildings.
Shops in the area that bought and sold witches’ nobility were swept away by collapsed ceilings and silt.
2.
The Witch History Museum was located in the middle of a fairly large parkland.
I was a little worried because it was a completely dark night, but it seems that the museum of the future city is open 24 hours a day with the power of drones.
Sophisticated design and open space.
From the old-fashioned stairs to the entrance that gives a unique impression by naturally melting into the park landscape.
It looks like a museum, nothing more and nothing less.
[Hello! Spectators! I’m Wing Wing, the curator of the Witch History Museum!]
[It is my duty to provide detailed information to all visitors and assist them in cultivating correct historical knowledge!]
[Please take good care of me!]
As soon as the screen door opened and Siwoo and his party arrived, one of the piles of drones that had their eyes closed in the corner flew in like a mayfly.
It was a lively machine sound like a child.
“It looks neat.”
The exterior was the same as the exterior, but the interior space was also calmly organized.
[That’s right. The Witch History Museum is a famous architect… ]
Siwoo, knowing that the drone is a two-much talker, went straight to the point.
“What are you doing here?”
[This museum is a museum where you can understand the importance of peace and learn lessons through the history of witches and humans, as well as mankind’s war against witches!]
[Certainly you didn’t mistake it for an adult product history museum, right? Under! Under! Under!]
Siwoo’s face hardened at the fucking joke that burst out while Master was already worried about him.
“…”
[…]
The drone became quiet as if it was paying attention to the sudden silence, then continued.
[This joke was a joke enjoyed by 68% of male viewers]
“I’m not happy.”
[Turn off sexual jokes. If you come here, I will explain the general history of witches]
The drone guided them to an arched tunnel.
A very slow-moving moving walkway was laid under her feet, and the screen that smoothly connected the ceiling and walls reminded me of an aquarium.
It was enough for the spectator to just keep her feet on her feet.
This is because video data appeared on the screen following the gaze of the audience.
It reminded me of cute and cute deformed animations, not pictures or videos.
[The exchange between humans and witches first began around the 15th century. The witch passed on her magical knowledge to humans, and humans spread her science to her witches]
[Witches naturally took their place in the upper classes of human society and exploited humans by adhering to a few powerful people]
[As a witch with virtually no lifespan, this hierarchy was very solid. A deformed aspect in which a relatively small number of witches monopolize wealth and power]
[At this time, mankind was no different from the slaves of witches]
In the video, a witch wields a whip and rejoices at the human offerings.
[And the emergence of a historical turning point. As you well know, the 18th century hextech revolution takes place in England.]
[This revolution has brought changes in many fields, including society, economy, and technology. In fact, she obtained the technology to manipulate and control witches’ monopoly based on scientific principles]
[In the early days of the Revolution, this favored witches who had wide political and social influence and land and capital]
[Witches still exploit humans through active investment and adaptation to accumulate wealth and maintain their social status]
[But in the end, the hextech revolution triggered a shift between rigid social structures and classes. Previously, magic was monopolized and empowered by witches and the elite, but thanks to the hextech revolution, magic has become accessible to the bourgeoisie and ordinary citizens. In addition, with the development of the magic-based industry, the middle class grew, and the influence of witches began to weaken]
[The development of human magic technology has even shown signs of surpassing the magic inherent in witches.]
[The witches, who were dissatisfied with this, used the ‘Madras Clone Incident’ as an excuse on July 28, 1914. Caused the 1st Witch War]
“The Madras Clone Incident?”
[Yes! That’s right! This is an incident in which the British government kidnapped an apprentice witch from a secret laboratory in Madras, leader, and proceeded with clone cloning]
[Of course, this is a one-sided witch’s argument. The Human Alliance has since undergone several investigations and verifications, but it has been found that this was political agitation to justify the war of aggression and to lead unity among witches]
I’m not naive enough to believe that right away.
After all, history is the testimony of the victors.
After that, a war broke out between witches and humans.
No matter how much humans accepted magic and developed strength, it was not easy to deal with witches head-on.
The witch forces that started in Germany and spread their influence to Western Europe and Russia continued their explosive occupation that shook the whole world.
[But, as always, humans have found an answer]
[Russian bioengineering scientist ‘Alexander Bolak’ successfully led the ‘Proletaria Project’ to artificially clone witches and cultivate powerful decisive weapons]
[Based on this project, mankind has been able to mass-produce a number of ‘witchroids’, which means that humans can control magnetic magic that only witches could monopolize]
[In addition, ‘Colin Adams’, an expert in ideal science and quantum mechanics in the UK, has developed a ‘Providence Generator’ that can stop the distortion of providence unique to the Great Witch. As a result, human magic engineering ability was effective until the Great Witch.]
[The Witch Empire, which succumbed to the superior human technology, eventually declared unconditional surrender on November 11, 1918]
Afterwards, mankind paid ‘reasonable’ war reparations to the witches, built a special prison in Greenland, which was a wild land at the time, and drove the witches there.
And the special receptacle was named ‘Gehenna’, a metaphor for hell in the Old Testament.
[This was a very humane treatment]
[We did not execute all war criminals, we created an autonomous district for witches, and we also allowed partial freedom in return for cooperation in research]
[Since the end of the war, mankind has enjoyed unprecedented prosperity]
[However, that is for a while. Over-prosperous mankind’s consumption of resources has begun to far exceed the earth’s resource reserves.]
[In 1992, mankind’s underground resources were depleted with the end of the Arctic subsea drilling rig]
[But, as always, we found the answer again]
[Witches were a great alternative resource and a hidden source of infinite technological advancement]
[Therefore, humanity has deprived witches of their autonomy, which they have recognized so far. Agreed to use war criminals, who were suspended from punishment, as a new energy source for the survival of all mankind]
[However, Gehenna strongly opposed this]
[The great witch ‘Noah Genesis’, who led Gehenna, rallied the remaining witches and named the confinement area the ‘Witch Empire’.
Caused the Second Witch War]
Familiar name.
Siwoo opened his eyes wide.
“Noah Genesis?”
[That’s right. The Empress of the Witch Empire. She is a witch of creation who later escaped by building an ark]
