The Greatest Genius Alchemist of All Time Want to Retire

"Hih, no, no, no! Hey, what is it, alle!?

"... that's a doll"

"But somehow the shape is distorted...... I'm sick!

Demons have not existed since breaking through the thirtieth floor of the Fifth Labyrinth. It's the doll that's in front of us right now. Perhaps the model is a woman. But notably, it's moving. It's independent. Even so, I'm not walking upright. Bent arms on the ground in a possible direction, crawling on all fours. It moves with a crust. That's a boulder. I also learn to spook.

"Is that... are you attacking me?

"Want to come closer?

I'm wandering in front of about 3 of them, so I'll come closer. Then I rotate my neck 180 degrees and it comes this way with the opposite direction. The crusty and crawling doll was like a cockroach.

"Hey!? That sucks!?

"What?

"Mouth! Look at your mouth!

"Oh... that's awesome. How does that work?

"Don't be impressed. Do something!

That's what Aria says, so I catch the doll first. Something like a chainsaw is popping out of its mouth, definitely hostile. I'm gonna have to destroy it... and I'm gonna activate the alchemy.

Antimatter Code: Reverse

Substance Material = Anti-Material Code

Substance Materials: Reverse = Prima Materials, the first material

"Now, disappear..."

Stick your right hand to the side, as usual.

"Hey......!?

But my antimatter "antimaterial" code didn't activate properly.

"Oh, Mr. Elle!!

"I know!!

I decide to physically destroy it, not the anti-material code.

"... how about this!

I use the ice around me and smelt it to pierce countless ice columns from it. And that stuck all the dolls that were coming this way.

"Gi... gi, gi, gi... gi... gi..."

It looks like the function has stopped, and I'm horrified. But why didn't the anti-matter anti-material code activate? My elemental eye, Decoding Site, definitely understood the components. I thought I would return every substance present in this world to the primary material, PrimaMateria. It's theoretically possible. Until now, it has been possible to work the anti-matter "antimaterial" code and lead it to collapse from within.

But this doll is different. I didn't get through. Did they remove the coordinates? In the case where the unique area Personal Field is thick, the coordinates may not be accurately specified. But there was no such omen.

I couldn't do what I thought I could normally do. It springs up as an endless question.

"Oh... what do you do with this?

"Disassemble the roses."

"Yep... you don't feel comfortable..."

"Let's do it."

"Yes."

And we decided to break down the broken doll.

"I conveniently call it Doyle, but I wonder what this really is..."

"Hmmm. You're disgusting anyway!

"But you're handy. You're more familiar with the internal structure than I am, Aria."

"Really? But if you do say it... you know what it is..."

……

"Hey!? Do you doubt it!?

"Well."

"I don't know either! But somehow. Somehow I remember nostalgia for this doll."

"... right"

The lies... don't seem to be lying. Now if you're lying to me and you keep fooling me, this guy's a big actress. But I'm not as capable of weather as letting go and trusting Aria. After this incident, I will be even more vigilant.

A woman named Aria is still... not just a human being. That would be all for sure.

"It was just a mechanical doll...... right? Nothing particularly novel."

"Right. It consists of parts that I know everything about. But..."

"Yes."

"I don't know how it was working, I don't know that"

"Sounds like you're energizing something, but so that mobility is a bit..."

"Maybe... is it like artificial intelligence?

"Are you intelligent?

"As a possibility. I just don't see the root of it. Even my elemental eye, Decoding Site, has parts that I can't read. Artificial intelligence in the first place is made by a copy of Qualia. At least that's how I created a completely independent artificial intelligence."

"Mr. Elle... are you familiar with artificial intelligence?

"That's an area of expertise. Once again, we have successfully applied artificial intelligence to develop homunculus"

"Hey!? Huh!? Aren't you a bee expert!

"Ah. But don't solve it... there must be traces of Qualia if it's the same way as me..."

"What is Qualia?

"... that's hard to explain. The texture of consciousness, the sensory quality, is that people's intelligence is made of Qualia, a collection of primary materials, Prima Materia…"

"So you're saying it's weird that I can't feel the first material, Prima Materia...?

"Ah. But there's no trace of it in this doll. I can't believe you don't have the primary material Prima Materials, even though you are completely independent... so the antimatter code didn't work."

Unlike humans and other organisms, which seemed to take in the surrounding primary material PrimaMateria during the battle, there is no part of this doll that stores the primary material PrimaMateria.

Basically, I store it in my brain in organisms, but I don't see it in this doll. That means......

"No way, some kind of homunksulus?

"Is that the homunculus? Because God made people, people can make people artificially again..."

"That's the outline. But the problem with homunksl lies in making artificial intelligence work semi-permanently... is that clear? Is this even possible in the labyrinth? Or... had Homncrus already entered the practical phase in the past?

"... Labyrinth is definitely Lost Technology, right?

"You know very well. Yes, the labyrinth has several technologies that can be reproduced in modern times. Maybe this doll is one of them. Let's... go."

"Is that okay? Don't you have to look more?

"Enough."

"Ok......"

We go deeper. And to say what I expected or what, there was only Doyle from here on out. But there were also individuals who resisted alchemy and used alchemy.

"Hi-hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi! That! It's sticking to the ceiling!!!!!

"The kind of gravitational manipulation...... no, is that just fixing the relative position? Have some individuals been able to use such advanced alchemy... this is pretty interesting"

"Ha, why don't you do it fast! Kid, that's disgusting!!!!!!"

Sounds like a fie in the Sixth Labyrinth...... and with that in mind we went on destroying Doyle. I'm sure Phee will be fine. Fee is not a platinum "platinum" alchemist to Dada. That guy must be... moving on.

That's how we ended up... in front of the fortieth floor door.

It seemed so long and short. If we break through here, we have ten more layers to go to the bottom. Almost... Almost...

"Aria, okay?

"Now what is there?

"Like a big doll or something?

"... I'm scared because that's creepy... even bigger or I'll definitely pass out"

"Well, I'll protect you, so stay back."

"... ok"

I put my hand on the door. Then it was spreading there... a completely different sight from what I expected.
