Chapter 1461 – 1461. The Dark Moon
“Only transcendence is our ultimate.”
Gee ying.
The door is open.
I entered the open door without hesitation. Bell, startled, follows closely behind me.
The hallway lights up as soon as we enter. A white passage continued straight ahead. Considering the location of the door, it is clear that it descends towards the basement, but the hallway is perfectly level, so it doesn’t feel like that at all.
“A transcendentalist? Is this the first time I’ve heard of such a thing?”
“The high-ranking people judged the ideology of transcendentalists to be dangerous and started to control information. As the information was buried, interest disappeared, and in the end even the high-ranking people forgot about it.”
“Information control is commonplace. But I don’t quite understand. Did you just watch as people who own a building like this are being controlled?”
“The number of transcendentalists was small. To control information? For transcendentalists, it was good. Because they don’t force their ideas on others. In the end, what matters to them is only their own transcendence.”
“What is transcendence? Is that what I know It goes beyond level 7 and becomes a non-human monster…. What, something like that?”
In this world, it is common to say that level 7 is the state of being a superhuman.
However, there is something that many people misunderstand. The level of this world does not refer to realm, but is more a measure of strength.
“The transcendence of transcendentalists is not like that. Throwing off everything and reaching your own ideal is called transcendence.”
“It’s an ambiguous idea. What is dangerous about that? Anyway, if they don’t like me, they’ll try to control and get rid of everything….”
“It was dangerous. Because there were people who really achieved transcendence among the transcendentalists.”
“That’s interesting again.”
I was walking down the hallway and a wall came out. I naturally moved my hand to the pad next to the wall. The pad turns on and a field appears asking you to enter your password.
I paused and rummaged through my memory. What was the password here?
‘Originally, it was to do quests related to transcendentalists, find clues, and infer passwords…. I didn’t want to use my brain, so I searched on the Internet without much thought.’
I searched on the internet and was able to figure it out in 10 seconds.
‘Are you sure it was 697852?’
Entered
The bulkhead opens. Another long hallway followed.
“But if you achieve transcendence, doesn’t that mean you have become an incredible being? Why didn’t I hear?”
“Don’t think transcendence is too great. Achieving transcendence does not mean gaining the power to destroy the world. There were transcendentalists who wanted such transcendence… They all failed.”
“Tell me about a successful transcendentalist. I’m curious.”
“Transcendence is easy for you to understand… Right. It is beyond the machine.”
“Transcend machine? Those who insist that we abandon our weak human bodies and put on superior machines?”
“Do you know what a cyber soul is?”
“I wouldn’t know. It means that the soul is converted into data and put into the cyber world. How many related projects can you find? … It is impossible to transcend the machine.”
“Right. That is machine transcendence. However, transcendentalists put a few more conditions on it. One of them is to be free from outside interference, and the other is to keep your ego intact.”
“Are you talking about successful transcendentalists? You mean the cyber soul…. No, are you saying that there is a god in the cyber world?”
“It is different from Cyber God. Just because you became a cyber soul doesn’t mean you can do everything related to cyber.”
“I’ve been curious about it ever since… Why do you know so well?”
Because I saw it in the game. Couldn’t say
“I am interested in the ancient side. If I hadn’t learned magic, I might have become an archaeologist. Transcendence, void, humanity….”
“Yes?”
“They are ideologists in ancient times. Close to religion. Do you know the voidists?”
“You mean those who claim the cause of the Dark Moon is in the Void? Ha, just thinking about those bastards makes my teeth tremble. Fuck. Because of them, I went through life-and-death twice. But what about humanity?”
“…… The Dark Moon is only a means of transcendence.”
“Yes?”
“Worship the Dark Moon, the Void Door is in the Dark Moon.”
“…….”
“Someday, we will rule over that Dark Moon as well.”
This is the slogan used by game companies when introducing transcendence, void, and humanists. As you should know by this point, the game allows the player to choose an event. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you choose not to. When selected, new abilities or quests were added. Of course, there are not only advantages, but also disadvantages.
“Well. Well, I roughly understand. But did you memorize it?”
“I came across it by accident. It left a deep impression on me, so I memorized it automatically. And nothing expresses them better than this.”
I feel the gaze staring at me as if it is absurd.
“… If it’s a cyber soul. Wouldn’t it be possible to dominate Hamburg Innovation?”
“The cyber world of that city is too large, so I think it will be impossible, but if you are interested, ask directly.”
Arrived.
This time the door opened by itself, without having to enter a password.
A lot of space came out. Inside was neat and clean. And it was a future-oriented design that made it hard to believe that it was an ancient ruin.
Pod.
A hologram man appeared in front of us.
“Welcome, young transcendentalists. I am Barkase, the 72nd transcendental guide.”
He was a blond man in a white coat. He wore his glasses on his long hair, with all of his bangs pulled back. It was his appearance and atmosphere that looked like a doctor or researcher to anyone.
“A.I… ? No, it doesn’t feel like artificial intelligence. It doesn’t have that rigid feeling that is unique to AI.”
Haha. Didn’t you guys already know about me?”
“… Cyber Soul.”
“I feel a sense of alienation. It seems like only yesterday that I heard that it was a network parasite.”
I looked around and asked Barcase.
“Did you hear our conversation?”
“I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. Since this building itself is my hardware… I heard it naturally.”
The space was the same as the original. The same is true for Barcasse to appear. Rip off mechanical parts in space? Then I don’t know if I’ll get some money, but I’m going to turn Barcasse into an enemy. In the long run, that’s more of a loss.
“Then you know without saying. We are not transcendentalists.”
“I wasn’t a transcendentalist either.”
“I have no desire to be a transcendentalist.”
“I remember the old days. Back when I knew nothing about transcendence. I thought transcendence didn’t make sense. Because that’s common sense But look. After all, I have achieved transcendence.”
“I have no intention of becoming a parasite on the network.”
Haha. You’re picky. Don’t you know that there is more than one direction to transcendence?”
“Why are you favoring us? I don’t quite understand.”
“Isn’t it because it’s nice to meet people after a long time?”
Bell interrupted. She was wandering around looking for things that could make money. Of course, there was no such thing, so her expression didn’t improve.
“Because you guys are qualified.”
“I’ve never had a license other than a driver’s license.”
After looking around, Bell grumbled and came next to me.
“The Qualification of Transcendence. You guys are qualified for that.”
“… Mr Barcase? Can’t you put it a little simpler? Unlike the wizard next to me, I am a transcendentalist, so I have never heard of anything.”
“Simply put, it refers to the ability to achieve transcendence. In your case, your body is special, and your partner is blessed with mana. Neither of them is something you see often.”
“…….”
“…….”
Bell and I shut up. If I had simply shut up because I had nothing to say, in Bell’s case, it would have been because of surprise.
“Don’t take it seriously. I have no intention of harming you. Rather, I intend to help you. If you guys agree.”
As soon as I heard that, I was happy inside. The annoying problem of persuading him was gone.
“How are you helping me?”
Bell asked.
Barkasse reached out to either side of him.
“I will use that capsule and this capsule to help. Well, that’s all I can do here right now.”
“What is that capsule?”
“It’s a mana shower. It removes wastes accumulated in the body and stabilizes the body. Besides that, you can bring your body to its best condition, or you can tweak it a bit. Transcendentalists all want a mana shower. After you do this once, the refreshing taste is amazing.”
“Under. Do you think I would get into something suspicious like that?”
Bell said in disbelief.
“You must really need it?”
“I can live well without receiving such things.”
“It is possible to coordinate the body and machine. I will optimize the machines attached to you. I promise it’ll be far better than being tweaked by most mechanics. Isn’t your heart a problem in particular?”
“…… Do you know about this heart?”
“I need to check the details.”
“…….”
Bell gets into trouble.
I could say I know better about her heart, but she didn’t bother to tell me. Even if I tell you, you can’t believe it. And it wasn’t particularly important. Knowing it won’t change anything.
“What are you going to do?”
Barcasse asked me. I answered without a second’s hesitation.
“Do.”
In the original work, receiving a mana shower permanently increases some of your stats for the first time. It was no different from taking the highest quality elixir. There was no reason to refuse.
‘Originally, I was going to come after recovering all the mana roads….’
There’s nothing you can do about it now that it’s like this.
“…… I will too. Please tell me more about my body. Especially about the heart.”
“I thought so from the beginning.”
Push.
Capsule opened.
“Then take off your clothes and go inside. I will do everything else.”
“Take off your clothes? Are you sure you want me to get naked here?”
“Are there any problems?”
“No, that….”
Bell glances at me. It seems embarrassing to see me naked.
“There was a girlish part. Stay out the door. I’ll do it first, then you can do it.”
“Who is the girl? Ha, I was just surprised for a moment. What’s the point of showing naked?”
She sighed and began to take off her clothes. I first took off all my clothes and entered the capsule. The capsule door closes. The capsule door was transparent so she could see her outside. Of course she can see me too.
‘She’s in good shape.’
