Chapter 188 – Lives of Others (6)

[During the study of fragments of the Almighty, I was able to obtain a fragment of the Almighty that was fully equipped with my ego and was able to communicate. It’s rare for a fragment to have a self, so we immediately assembled a research team and went in for an interview.

Interview with Philip Loren #1 (A for questioner, B for fragment)

A – Are you awake?

B – Where is this place? Why are you here?

(He spoke fluent German here. Fortunately, researcher Alphonse spoke German, so he conducted the interview.)

A – This is a research facility near Paris, France. Who are you?

B – My name is Philip Muller. He was a soldier belonging to the Awakened Inspection Division of the German Imperial Army. Why am I here is it french? Did they end up pushing all the way to Berlin? I knew it would be like this and opposed the war, but it ended up like this. I’m going crazy.

A – Calm down. I would appreciate it if you could tell me the exact year you were born.
(When Alphonse told me the current year, the fragments of the Almighty reacted in disbelief.)

B – What? Nonsense. Time passed like that? I need to go outside. Show out Why can’t I move? Did you guys tie it up? If the German Empire is destroyed, I have no fighting spirit. Free me

A – Sorry. Philip. You are now unable to move.

B – Could it be that all my limbs were cut off? Or is it tied up?

A – Phillip You are not alive right now.

B – Nonsense.

(Philippe Müller did not seem to be clearly aware of his current situation. Because of this, A and other researchers informed him that he was in a state of immobility and that he currently exists as a lump of energy.

The fragments of the Almighty reacted violently, saying that they did not understand his current situation, and whenever he got angry, the metal parts around him were distorted or broken, and there was an incident in which all the iron objects inside the building were removed. )

Interview with Philip Loren #2

A – Philip. Are you calmed down now?

B – I can’t believe I became a Paruelaine (a fragment of the Almighty).

(Philippe Müller only accepted reality after the day had passed. When Alphonse tried to talk again, he responded in a resigned tone.)

A – Please tell us about your last memory.

B – Due to the assassination in Sarajevo at the time, the opinion of war was dominant. Some of the Awoken and soldiers, including myself, were against this war because it seemed that it would never go in a good direction.

A – Germany actually lost World War I.

B – I knew it. Wait a minute, 1st?

A – No. I was speechless. It was just world war. I was confused with the Punic Wars.

B – I heard that kids these days don’t study history… Anyway, at a time when preparations for war were in full swing, I continued to present the opinion that war should be prevented. Then one day. They called me to say the gate was open. Our Awoken Inspection Department’s main job was to destroy gates, so I took my gear without question.

A – What happened there?

B – When I went inside the gate, there were a lot of workers digging, sweating profusely, and soldiers with guns around them. Jangseong said this. There is a large ore at the bottom right now, but they said they couldn’t get it out with their own power. So I went down the pit with my Awoken minions.

A – Did a monster emerge from below?

B – No, gunshots rang from above. Dozens and hundreds of bullets rained down on us. I tried to block the gun with my ability, but they noticed that and mobilized other Awoken. Only then did I realize In the first place, catching the monsters inside the gate was just an excuse. They just tried to kill all of us who oppose the war and bury them at the gate.

I still remember. As I was dying, dirt was covering my head. I tried to get out somehow, but I couldn’t do anything because my whole body was in a burning pain. And when I came back to my senses, I was here.

(Philip Müller was later destroyed after being used to develop strengthening equipment that applied fragments of the Almighty. Alphonse, who was in charge of the interview at the time, subsequently submitted a resignation letter, but it was not accepted.)]

Choi Yeon-ju and Jeong Su-hyeon were also skimming through the contents in silence. Through the monitor screen, Yeonju Choi spoke to the fragment of the Almighty, who was staring at her.

“Are you German?”

The fragment of the Almighty shook his head as if he was dumbfounded.

“No.”

“Okay. Read on.”

[ Interview with Gertorix # 1 (Questioner marked A fragment as B)

(I was able to interview the fragment he had with the help of the Almighty’s splinter ability from China. The fragment could speak a little Chinese, and used a language presumed to be Celtic. The interview language was Chinese. Researcher participated.)

A – Who are you?

B – Gertorix

A – Where are you from?

B – Gaul

A – Do you have any memories from your life?

B – I fought against Rome and lost. Over the door. We. Buried.

(The Chinese ability person cooperated with the research for several more days and returned, but Gertorix did not answer further questions.) ]

“…Something seems to be getting stranded.”

“Yes.”

“I don’t remember my past, but something seems to have caught on.”

At Choi Yeon-joo’s words, Jeong Su-hyeon and Almighty Emperor nodded their heads. If the corpse of a person who met certain conditions was buried beyond the gate, it seemed to turn into a fragment of the Almighty. But what are the conditions? What kind of condition are these corpses fulfilling, so they appear so often all over the world?

Yeonjoo Choi said.

“Let’s keep looking. It seems that the “Tragedy” The Frenchman is talking about hasn’t come out yet. It seems a bit absurd to say that people who died at the Gate in the past could not be studied.”

[Interview with Luca David # 1 (Questioner marked A fragment as B)

(After the interview with the Gertorix Fragment, a Fragment of the Almighty found at a Class A Gate in Greenland came over to us. The Fragment was a Frenchman named Luca David, who had just ended World War II.

When he heard the French language, he reacted violently and did not respond properly to the interview. In the end, we dedicate this interview to Alphonse, who moves the rubble room and speaks fluent German.)

A – Hi David.

B – I said I was out of the hands of the damned, but now I’m German, it doesn’t matter who I am. Unless you’re a French guy. They even tried to take advantage of me because they abandoned me, who had devoted themselves to their country, like a worm and buried me in the soil.

A – They are very bad guys.

B – Yes. Does this world know the identity of the fragment of the Almighty?

A – Very few research groups are aware of it. It means that the corpse of an Awakener who meets certain conditions beyond the gate turns into a fragment of the Almighty.

B – Don’t you think it’s strange?

A – Yes?

B – Haven’t it occurred to you that throughout human history, there are too many fragments of the Almighty? In every important quarter of history, and at every moment, fragments of the Almighty appeared without fail. Although it was created by ‘accidental’, it is spread all over the world. Isn’t it strange? Is this really a number that can be made by chance?

A – You mean someone deliberately created a fragment of the Almighty?

B – It was the fragmentation research department in France that first learned about the Almighty’s fragmentation principle. I was an Awoken person in charge of protecting the research department. One day, a fragment of the Almighty entered this department, and he spoke Chinese. At the time, the guy who was mopping in the research department was a Chinese, and when he entrusted him with interpreting, unbelievable information came out.

A – Unreliable information?

B – Beyond the gate is a metal called ‘Exidia’. This metal acts on a person’s mind, extracting memories or knocking them out. It works to this extent for normal people, but in fact, Excidia has one more hidden function.

A – What is it?

B – It is a function that attracts the strong hunter’s thoughts. You say it attracts souls? When a Hunter dies and is buried near Exsidia, Exsidia changes its nature by drawing in the Hunter’s thoughts and energy intact. At first, it was a transparent ore, but after the transformation, it turns into a black lump with an ego.

A – Then…

B – In China, they planned to use this to mass-produce fragments of the Almighty. The hunters were selected, and those who did not like them were buried evenly with Axidia across the gate. They thought that if they had their own mark, they would be able to dig it up someday.

A – That’s terrible.

B – Terrible? Does this feel like someone else’s business to you? It’s not just China that has done this! The Germans did too. The Americans did it, the Japanese did it too! French guys too! Everyone collaborated on research at the time and actively attempted this lunatic act! Kill the Awoken you don’t like beyond the gate! With the intention of only sucking his power, he made the area beyond the gate into a hunter’s tomb!

(Later, Luca David sneered and refused to talk, saying that they were only creating fragments of the Almighty that existed in the past.

I made up my mind to read Alphonse, who conducted this interview, and publish the research to discontinue research on fragments of the Almighty. However, the next day, Alphonse died in a car accident, and the thesis I sent to the research group was destroyed for unknown reasons.

Only then did I know The origin of the fragments of the Almighty was buried as it is today. It wasn’t that no one had ever studied it. The researcher was gone.

The fragments of the Almighty are, after all, products of our sins.

Someone must stop this research and let go of the souls of the dead.)]

Yeonju Choi quietly turned off the screen.
