the sun has stopped

And it started to crumble slowly.

paused time.

I came face to face with Omuamua, no, Wilson, at the center of the sun, full of light.

Wilson didn't look like anything I've ever seen.

It just exists as a hazy ray of light.

Wilson suddenly asked me.

[Do you want to restore the world to its original state? Before the singularity came?]

I nodded.

Wilson sighed.

[You are right in front of the singularity,

I'm standing on the brink of upheaval.]

[This is significant enough to match the emergence of mankind.]

Wilson said.

He drew a graph in front of me.

A gently ascending curve, it rises almost vertically from a certain point.

Wilson said.

[For example, what if we brought a person from 100 years ago, that is, 1900's, to the present day?]

"..why are you asking that?"

[Imagine.]

I rubbed my chin at Wilson's somewhat absurd question.

"Well, maybe I'll pass out of surprise? Buildings, smartphones, virtual reality helmets

[Then what if we bring people from the 1800s to the 1900s?]

" Well. What should be surprising? Not to the point of fainting, though."

Hearing my words, Wilson seemed to nod his head.

[right. 1800's and 1900's,

And although the 1900s and 2000s are the same 100 years apart, the skills and intelligence of mankind increased with an incomparably large gap compared to the gap at that time. Call this a 'singularity'. And now humanity is witnessing another singularity. Deus Ex Machina is a new horizon.]

" So what do you want to say? At such an important moment, won't I disturb you?

Wilson listened to me and said nothing.

I said again.

The world you created, the phoenix, the artificial intelligence you created, chose me. Please save this world. Why not you and me? It's because you are not qualified to adjust the causality of this world.

aka 'Illegal Intervention'.

Forced human body room for millions of people

Trying to rule the world with the results obtained in that way.

He's a villain that looks like something out of a cartoon.

I remembered the words of Kim Jong-un that I once heard.

[Wilson is planning to create as many simultaneous users as possible and then clone their personalities and bodies into this virtual reality!]

[God! he becomes the god of this world

Sleeping! The number of people who made it impossible to escape is by reducing all concurrent users into their own people, no, creations (被造物)! It's just like the closed beta!]

Does Wilson, the 'absolute other', who degenerates even the player, who is the master of everything in the game, into a mere 'creature', really wants to rule as such?

"Are you really going to be the god of this world? many for that

sacrificing people?"

Occasionally there are People who are pathologically afraid that people will forget about them after they die

'When do you think people die?'

A famous line in a work. The answer is 'when you are forgotten by people'.

So they are the people of future generations

Take several steps to remember yourself.

Sometimes they leave monuments, they leave works, they do good deeds through donations, and in extreme cases, they commit crimes such as murder.

As Kim Jong-un insisted, did Wilson do this to reign forever, be revered and remembered as the god of the new world?

However.

Wilson just laughed.

[That's the stupidest reason I've ever heard.]

I frowned.

A hero, a god, a person who will be remembered forever.

Wilson doesn't seem to care at all about these things.

Soon, he asked me.

[Do you remember the textbook of the old school X?]

oh, how could I forget that The damn thing that took several times for deliberation... .

"Of course I remember."

After hearing my answer, Wilson continued.

[It's easy to kill NPCs and monsters. you are virtual

It makes you realize that you exist. As an array of codes.]

At that time, the NPCs tried to commit suicide when they saw that random lists of numbers they had recited were written on the next page of the book.

But now, why am I here?

As I was puzzled and speechless, Wilson moved his gray body.

I stood facing the phoenix behind me.

[Do you know how the phoenix works?]

don't know

The phoenix is a sub-stream that plays the role of anti in the anti-corruption system.

Launched in 2014, the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) algorithm

It is a 'suspicious entity' built on the basis of artificial intelligence.

A structure that allows the 'network that generates fakes' to deceive the 'network that detects fakes' and allows the 'network that detects fakes' to detect 'networks that generate fakes'.

Wilson creates a fake that looks like the real thing as 'positive', and the phoenix as 'anti', suspects it, and after this battle, more and more elaborate

Haeji is an equilateral triangle composition in which the game Deus Ex Machina, that is, '合' is born.

"Simply put, Zheng can be compared to a 'counterfeiter', anti to a 'police', and 合 to a more sophisticated counterfeit bill, right?

[right. However, the analogy of the counterfeit bill is not very pleasant for me, who has been driven to this point due to the money copying bug.]

Wilson smiled slightly as he looked at the phoenix he had created as an adversary.

Of course, I didn't laugh because it wasn't a very funny joke.

Toward me, who is in love, Wilson raises his voice again.

[But in this world there is no eternal positive, eternal opposite, and eternal union.]

..?

[We are all positive and at the same time the opposite of someone and the union of someone else.]

As long as we are human, we cannot live with only one role.

No matter how well I live, there are certainly enemies who dislike me, and I was able to exist as myself because of the existence of other people.

Wilson said.

[I was the positive of the game world and the opposite of reality.]

Those words were so random and difficult that they could not be easily understood.

As I tilted my head, Wilson said to me.

[Tell me any numbers that come to mind right now.]

It was a strange request.

I tilted my head once and opened my mouth.

5715961025113652511235715 936987147748569856622225016 112754126285310106796123019 5260819856209990912603721120 3...

A random sequence of numbers that come to mind at random.

right then

I thought Wilson's smile seemed to deepen.

Soon, he opened my inventory at will and took out an item from it.

It was a spell book so old that I even forgot its existence.

-  'Omuamua's Nightmare Certificate

/ Order Form / S

57159610251136525112357159 369871477485698566222250161 127541262853101067961230195 26081985620990912603721120

- Prove that what you have been through is real, not a dream.

Or prove that what you experienced is a dream, not a reality.

As soon as I saw the list of numbers written on the order book, I couldn't help but open my eyes wide.

The numbers I just said casually were written there without a single mistake.

Also, it was a sequence arranged in the opposite direction of the numerical codes that NPCs saw and committed suicide.

Like the inverted symbol of the Antichrist

A cross with a cross, or completely upside down, like the Lord's Prayer recited upside down by the devil.

" What is this?"

As I muttered in amazement, Wilson continued.

[Just as a phoenix in virtual reality doubts the worldview to which it belongs, I also doubt the reality to which I belong.]

....

[Yes. No one else, I am the anti.]

I thought the closed beta was the cornerstone, a stepping stone for making this game de us ex machina.

But for Wilson, I thought that the Deus Ex Machina itself might have been nothing more than a stepping stone to take the next step.

Wilson continued.

[I watched the process of creating a sum by confronting Jeong and Van in countless virtual reality. And even in reality, there are countless opposites and opposites. I am a being who was united through a confrontation between love and antipathy somewhere.]

At the same time

Wilson's gray body rises up

started to go

The process by which Jeong and Van meet to reach a sum.

The sum meets another class and fights as a match, and soon becomes the sum of beings of a completely different higher rank and rises to the upper level.

The sum that went up in that way becomes visible again, meets another class, and becomes a completely new kind of sum, moving to a higher place... .

In this way, Jeong becomes someone's half and sometimes becomes a new sum, constantly repeating becoming Jeong, half and sum.

Wilson looked at me below and said.

[I am Jung. you are half And through you, I want to see a higher level of consensus."

At the same time, I heard a loud roar resounding around me, but soon Oh Muah

Silent's body tightly wrapped around Wilson.

Its appearance is like looking at a giant canned food.

It began to rise slowly.

Oumuamua. 'Messenger from afar', or 'the first reconnaissance team reached'.

It looked like a ship about to embark on a very long voyage.

is it. Were you like a real phoenix?"

Like a phoenix who doubted whether the reality he was in in virtual reality was not virtual, Wilson was a being who constantly doubted his reality. Rebellion, the human being itself.

He is now about to set off on a long voyage with his back to the setting twilight and spread his wings.

'Die Eule der Minerva beginnt erst mit der einbrechenden Dammerung ihren Flug.

The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only when the twilight bites.

Wilson tries to receive something that exists far beyond mankind.

[You are my adversary and the one who understands me best.]

I can now understand what Wilson had told me in the past.

What should I call him who wants to swim in that distant world beyond reality, virtual reality, and the singularity?

hero? Villain?

If I had to follow my lack of vocabulary, only one word came to mind.

'Pioneer.'

But I had a hard time admitting this.

"Forcing a concession is robbery, forcing a donation is robbery, forcing love is rape, and forcing a sacrifice is murder. No matter how much I wanted to prove something that transcends humanity... If it was made by the sacrifice of beings living in the same world. I will refuse."

At the same time, I reached out.

My hand grabs Omuamuah's ankle as she tries to climb somewhere.

Wilson then showed a human-like, very human-like reaction.

[Let go, you idiot! In this important moment, I dare you... !?]

"Yeah, if you're a human, you should curse like that."

[You XXX like this dog XX XXX, do XX XXXX right away and get XXX XXX!]

" Aww, you're so good at cursing."

Originally, swearing is the fate of human beings and gamers.

What else could you throw at your trolling comrades other than insults?

I continued to grab Wilson's ankle and droop.

It was because I had an intuition that something like that would feel bad if something like that could be achieved, and that it should not be allowed to do so.

Unsurprisingly, Wilson raises one burning eye and looks down at me.

[If I leave anyway, the manager's position in the mainstream will be vacant.]

" Are you going to give it to me?"

[You're welcome! All their data records will be expunged! This world will completely forget you!]

At the same time

Pot!

The world of bright light disappears.

Back to reality, or virtual reality in the game.

Time began to flow again.

Wow supportive!

The sun, smashed by everyone's effort, was dropping countless fragments onto the continent.

Reboot.

This world is on the verge of destruction in earnest.

At the same time, the familiar

notification sound.

SYSTEM Notice: Thank you for loving Deus Ex Machina over the past time

  SYSTEM NOTICE: Server will automatically shut down after 10 seconds

SYSTEM Notice: 9

  SYSTEM NOTICE: -8

Eventually, this beep sounded.

This eerie count I heard in Belpegol's nightmare.

No!

"It can't end like this!"

"Don't delete my character aaaa!"

Screams erupt from everywhere.

Players screaming and hitting the ground.

However, the meteor voice actors and the corona storm pouring over our heads are things that can be done with human power.

this was not

no.

There was one way.

I gathered the power that overflowed from my body into one place.

The eyes of all players around the world are focused on me, who has not given up yet.

"Hey pervert! what are you going to do... !?"

The sound of Yu Da-hee's cry fades faintly.

I opened my inventory and took out my trump card, the last hidden piece.

- Black Seed / Ingredients / ?

Between the road and the fire

The essence of the grown fruit.

Whether the ending will be good (Happy ending) or bad (Bad ending) is unknown.

-?

It is the seed of the honey fruit.

It was the last fruit of good and evil left in this world.

Everyone was surprised, but the ones that surprised the most were you.

They were Godemo, Bocasa, Betty, and other angels.

But I don't care about the eyes around me and I plant the seed where all my power is concentrated.

I put it straight into my heart.

At the same time

Wow!

Familiar changes observed in my body

do.

Tsutsutsutsutsutsutsutsu /

A dark energy that covers my whole body.

It dramatically changes my body shape.

I'm out of control and out of control

I jumped up with a raging body and followed the disappearing Wilson beyond the sun.

And.

Something that even I didn't expect happened.

flash!

The holy inviolable veil that Yun Sol laid down before he died.

The moment I touched it, my body began to change once more.

The body is purified and new flesh sprouts.

And I wasn't the only one who turned into a happy ending.

Everyone follows me with a hundredfold courage.

I, too, drew all my powers and rushed through the solar storm and rushed to Wilson beyond.

A phoenix whispers in my ear like that.

[One For All, All For One. You deserve it now.]

That was the last voice I heard.

Crossing the sea of roaring far beyond the audible range, I grab Wilson's ankle.

At the same time

A familiar alarm tickled my ears.

SYSTEM Notice: 3

  SYSTEM NOTICE: -2

  SYSTEM NOTICE: -1

SYSTEM Notice: -0)

  SYSTEM NOTICE: The server has been shut down.

was

submissive. Server shutdown.

Wilson's body crumbles.

At the same time, this world and my body were crumbling.

A beep that is no longer audible.

However, only the marks left by the notification sound remain like subtitles and are clearly visible even with blurred vision.

  Your memories in the Deus Ex Machina will now go on a very long journey. It will be a very long journey and I do not know how long it will take, but I sincerely hope that one day I will meet you again somewhere at the end of the universe in the same time and space as you all. So, hello everyone. Hi. see you again someday
