last post apocalypse

The speaker was a lanky man in a white study coat over a suit.

With a nonchalant, robot-like smirk on his face, he wears researcher-specific protective glasses.

"However, I can analyze the Philosopher's Stone thanks to you."

"Thanks to me?"

"Yeah, just a few hours ago, you helped me complete an experiment. Did you forget it so soon?"

How many hours ago?

Furutegawa's pupils tightened slightly.This man is the guy who made the attacks this morning and yesterday.

"hateful!"

I don't want to listen to his nonsense anymore, although the magic power in my body can't work like a lead block.But Furutegawa still raised his right hand wearing the ring, and aimed at the man, fired a basketball-sized cyan energy bomb.And hit the man's face accurately.

The moment the energy bomb symbolizing the wind hits the target, within a radius of five meters from the hit place, it becomes a terrifying vortex hell formed by countless blade-like sharp seams.

The ground, walls, and human body were instantly torn to pieces, and there were no fragments longer than ten centimeters.

killed! ?

Seeing the other party's body gradually disappearing in his own wind blade vortex, Gu Techuan was also very surprised.

Not wearing armor, and the flow of magic power has been slowed down by 80%, so I barely reached the level of B rank at most.

Killing a researcher with little power should be fine.

But something always feels wrong....

Suddenly, the air behind him screamed as it was torn apart.A huge shadow began to appear from Furutegawa's head, and rapidly enlarged.

boom!

A huge sonic boom sounded, and stone dust and smoke were mixed together. The powerful impact in the center brought out a mixed wave of awakening air, which bloomed at an astonishing speed.

The glass on the entire floor shattered in an instant and scattered all over the place.

After the dust cleared, an ugly huge orange monster appeared in the place where Guatechuan was just now.And a gigantic pothole covered in black, cobweb-like cracks.

Standing there was an unknown monster, as if it had run out of a game.The five-meter-high body is all connected by spherical structures, including the fingers, which are also composed of orange spheres.There is no head, but on the chest part, there are two diamond-shaped light spots shining with scarlet light.It looks like eyes.

It stands to reason that this thing is more like a cartoon character that should appear in a game for all ages, trampled by a retired plumber, or chopped down by a green hat hero.

But in reality, it's not cute at all.

"I didn't expect that the Philosopher's Stone could create such a monster...it's incredible power."

The man who should have been chopped up appeared from the air like a stereoscopic projection, and the place where he was originally was restored to its original state like a game refresh.The chopped ground and walls also returned to their original appearance.

Even the big pit under the monster's feet became flat again in the blink of an eye.

"The process of the Philosopher's Stone to realize the wish is actually a technology to 'simplify the process'. Just like lighting a fire, you need to prepare the necessary conditions, such as fuel, oxygen and the necessary temperature, and then you need to follow the correct steps to ignite the flame. For example, if you strike a match first, it will not work if you do not prepare wood. Or if you have prepared wood, but the match is placed ten meters away, it will not work either.

But the Philosopher's Stone can prepare all of this in an instant.Therefore, in fact, the precious thing in the Philosopher's Stone is not 'energy', but 'knowledge'. "

"That's right, its greatest use is to endow humans with knowledge!"

The expression of the man whose name was not known gradually became frenzied.

"How does a stone know how to ignite a fire? Where does this knowledge come from? If the producer inputs the knowledge together, it is too complicated. If it is extracted from the user's brain, why can it be Create such a miraculous creation?"

Touching the monster's spherical joints, the man continued.

"There is only one explanation. All Philosopher's Stones are linked to this 'database' that we don't know. It stores the knowledge of the past, present, future, and even other worlds."

"Power? Energy? It's never these minor things that change the world! There is only one human being's greatest weapon, the key to human evolution!"

"Knowledge! Whether from a different world or a parallel time and space, knowledge lost in the past or created in the future!"

"You understand why I pursue such power."

The man turned around and looked at the wall beside him.

"I don't want to understand your thoughts."

There, except for the clothes, which are a little messy.But Furutekawa Haruto, who was not injured, glared at the man viciously, the corners of his mouth cracked like melted wax.

"Because I have no interest in what the trash and maggots are thinking."

Chapter 47. The unresponsive belt

Furutegawa believes that no matter how poetry and music are used to extol the beauty and nobility of human beings, they cannot cover up the ignorant, stubborn, dirty and dark side of human beings.

Greedy nature, natural malice, one thing that makes people do evil, history and facts have proved this to everyone countless times.

——Human beings can be more brilliant and righteous than angels.But it must also be more evil and terrifying than the devil.

So Furutegawa gave up the idea of ​​using his own power to make the world a better place.

But even so, he did not give up saving.

It just puts the objects of salvation on innocent people who have been involved in the dark vortex for no reason due to interests and ridiculous reasons.

"Are you ready to die, trash."

Summoned the belt with his mind, and then stuck the ring on his right hand to it.

"Transform!"

However nothing happened.

The noisy sound of the belt did not sound, the magic circle did not appear in the air, and the armor that could bring Furutegawa a leap in power did not appear.

"what happened?"

Furutegawa tried several times, but the result was still the same.

Belts with great strength seem to be turned into toy belts that cost thousands of yen each.

"Why can't it start?"

The man who didn't know his name raised the corners of his mouth, as if he was happy to see Furategawa bewildered.

"You and I both use the Philosopher's Stone to gain power, but I'm not the same as you. You are a magician, the rule is to use four elements, and then use magic power to drive, right? But I'm not, a Christian The theory is too narrow, and the power to guide mankind in the past is useless to the future of mankind. I am a scientist, and my profession is to lead mankind to the future, so in my field, your Christian principles are useless."

"Is it."

Furutegawa tried again, but found that the belt was still unresponsive, so he gave up trying.

"However, before killing you. I have another question, why are you targeting me?"

Even if he couldn't change his body, Furutegawa's tone was still relaxed.The man on the opposite side narrowed his eyes in dissatisfaction.

"Because there is only one person in this world who can use the Philosopher's Stone. I have appeared, so naturally I don't need you."

"Is it......"

With lowered eyelids, Furutegawa lowered his arms as if giving up resistance.

The air became heavy, and the unknown man frowned slightly.He didn't know whether it was the depression caused by the silence, or the heaviness before reaching the final goal.

He felt that Gu Techuan was not a man who gave up so easily.

(Try it out first.)

With such a mentality in mind, the man waved his hand.The orange monster behind him let out a huge roar.

The floor trembled heavily, and the orange-yellow monster bounced itself five meters high with its spherical joints, and when it almost touched the ceiling, it pressed down on Furutegawa with a terrifying momentum like a heavy artillery.

"model--"

Almost at the same time when the monster was pressed down, Gutechuan also swung his clenched fist upwards.

"--strengthen!"

In an instant, the cyan pattern, like the wiring of a circuit board, was engraved from Furutegawa's shoulder all the way to the back of his hand.

boom!

There was the sound of a concrete block the size of a building hitting the ground, and the burst of wake-up air was rolled away like straw.The unknown man in the distance hastily raised his hands in front of him.

Then, when the turbulent airflow subsided, he opened his eyes in disbelief.

In front of her eyes was a very impactful scene.

The orange monster was the same as before, its huge body smashed the ground into a bowl-shaped depression like a crater.The spherical wrist, which looks ridiculous at first glance, has lost its function of pleasing children after being enlarged to the size of a millstone.

However, such a terrifying monster was blocked by a human hand.

Without transforming, Furutegawa blocked the monster's arm with his own fist.And, with the remaining hand, inserted between the monster's eyes.

Shila-

Furutegawa pulled out his blood-stained fist from the monster's body, and instinctively turned sideways.

Let the monster's huge body collapse, and then disappear into countless fragments of '0' and '1'.

"Do you think I can't change my body and become a chicken at the mercy of others?"

Furutekawa licked the blood from his hands.

It just strengthened the strength, not the strength of the skin, so it was cut.

"Don't underestimate the A-level! Even a person like me has studied in the British Knights and got the first grade! Are you ready to die, scumbag!"

"cut."

There was a dangerous look between the man's eyes, and his hands were raised upwards.At the same time, multiple orange monsters appeared around.

"on!"

The torrent of monsters rushed towards the Guate River.

"......Ah."

Gu Techuan grinned, and then faced the torrent of monsters several meters high alone.

What's the difference between a human and a powered suit?

In the eyes of a scientist who is committed to developing stronger and more complete drive suits, drive suits are props that can complete tasks that are difficult for humans to complete.

Stronger brains, stronger senses, stronger limbs, stronger stamina... What humans can do, driven armor can do better.

She believes that the future of mankind should belong to the driven armor.

But the scientist also reminded his students.

"Human beings are human beings after all. No matter how intelligent and powerful the power suit is, it is only a prop to assist human beings. Human beings are truly powerful, and machines cannot surpass human beings."

In class, a student nodded seriously and took note of what the teacher said.

But the other person frowned, wrote down what the teacher said, and then crossed it out.

She thinks what the teacher said is not wrong, but she also has her own opinion.

In her notebook, she wrote it in a rebellious font.

"How about replacing humans with powered suits?"

--------

"The teacher's idea is still too outdated. The future of mankind belongs to the drive suit."

He stretched out his hand and spread his five fingers.Then hold it firmly.

More than twenty orange-yellow monsters pressed Guategawa with their bodies.

Even with magic, the human body is still fragile.Under the weight of more than tens of tons, there is only one result.

"Okay, let's reap the victory."

"It's me, here to reap the victory..."

The incomparable chill stretched from the tailbone all the way to the brain, and the man wanted to move.

But the next moment he found a hand with a green ring on his chest.

"puff--"

The blood-spitting man fell, and then respawned on the other side of the corridor as before.

But this time, the figure that appeared there was different.
