The reply from the Picatinny Society came quickly.

The result is acceptable.

The society announced that it would not only allow the lecture, but also provide the necessary materials.

There are many elements that make up the human body.

I couldn’t easily procure more than dozens of materials even if the difficulty of fusion was low, but if the society provided them instead, I had no reason to refuse.

‘There is only one thing left.’

That is, the material that will be the main base of ductility.

To obtain the ‘Power of Soma’, I visited the Altar of the Stars.

‘Laniakea. I ask for a meeting.’

I spoke to her holy power dwelling in me.

A call through holy power can reach Laniakea by jumping over the dimensional gap.

Before long, the gathered starlight spread her wings and she descended to the altar.

“Welcome, my apostle.”

An unchangingly soft voice greeted me.

However, there was one difference from before, that she no longer wore a hood.

Of course, I also took off my mask and hat accordingly.

“I have a favor to ask of you.”

“You have come to receive power.”

“Yes.”

Even though I didn’t say it, Laniakea seemed to guess what I meant.

She held out her hand without hesitation, and a clear glare of light rose above it.

Sparks of light shimmering brightly.

It was the power of Soma, a power that was once called ‘Equinox’.

“Have you decided where to write?”

“Yes.”

He took out his crystal and showed it to her.

“I’m trying to build a body for it.”

“·······.”

The silent gaze contained a black crystal.

As soon as I saw it, I seemed to realize it.

That this is the self of the Witchbeast that was Maria’s half.

“…that’s how it happened.”

Even without saying anything, she seemed to understand everything.

A constellation’s eyes can pierce many things with just one glance.

Realizing the narrative behind the crystal, she reached out and covered it.

“Even though he was born as a demon, he has a kind heart.”

“···Yes.”

A young soul who felt pity for the vanishing half and suppressed itself.

It certainly had altruism that was difficult for a witch beast to possess.

“Yes. I also want to give this child a chance.”

“thank you.”

“Of course, Eugene-sama doesn’t just want to make a body, right?”

did you get caught

I wanted to say it after making it as much as possible, but it seemed that he had already noticed.

“…I’m trying to implant the power of the glass tube here.”

If you add the reinterpretation function of the glass coffin to the ego born as a demon.

Obviously, ‘interpretation’ of the sympathetic nervous system as well as ‘reconstruction’ would be possible.

If so, humanity will be able to go beyond the interpretation of the nervous system and even enjoy its benefits.

“I am cautioning to use what is available.”

“…Yes. I understand.”

Laniakea understood my decision.

I don’t know what this guy will think of me when he opens his eyes.

After harassing them to their heart’s content, in the past, they could even resent them for taking advantage of them.

But even so, I have no intention of reversing my will.

Even if I receive someone’s resentment and hatred, I must kill the Witchbeast.

“Give me your hand.”

The power of Soma, which burns all demons, condensed in her hand and formed a small crystal.

Laniakea handed me a light that had transformed into the size of a fingernail.

“I’ll leave it up to you.”

“thank you.”

After capturing the handed-over power of the Soma along with the crystal, she changed the subject and continued.

“Eugene-sama, do you understand the current trend of the front line?”

“I’m listening to basic information bit by bit, but I’m not a soldier, so I can’t dig deep. Why are you asking that?”

“The situation on the front line is not serious.”

She gestured towards the sky above the altar.

The starry night sky changed and began to reflect the scenery of another world.

It was a desolate world where twilight was setting.

A place where the war between hunters and beasts on the ground, and the war between the stars and darkness in the sky continues.

It was one of the vast battlefields often called the front line.

“Have you seen the battle of the constellations, Eugene?”

“There is not.”

In response to my reply, Laniakea enlarged the sky, where stars and darkness were mixed.

The space where the blazing starlight blocks the rushing darkness and sharply confronts it.

It was a world where the term battlefield of the stars was appropriate.

“The darkness of Baltazar and his followers. They are often classified as ‘commander’ and ‘top-notch’ beasts.”

A faraway enough to cover the entire sky.

The appearance that even the expression of vastness is lacking made me stick out my tongue.

The power of ‘Commander’ Baltazar was truly mighty.

‘The commander in the outer dimension is like that.’

The world is divided into an outer dimension where the stars stay and an inner dimension called the ground.

Since the outer dimension is liberated from the physical laws of the inner dimension, the power of each being is greatly upgraded.

The power of the constellation that overturns heaven and earth comes from the outer dimension.

The moment the existence of such an outer dimension comes down again to the inner dimension, its power is greatly weakened by the binding force of the law.

Conversely, if one escapes from the restraints of the inner dimension and ascends to the outer dimension, anyone will have great power reaching the sky.

The basic condition for becoming a Constellation was to shake off the inner dimension’s gravitational pull and soar to the outer dimension.

“Balthazar’s forces are pressing hard on the allies. As if they’re trying to get our attention.”

“You’re concerned about the bucket.”

“···Yeah.”

The Witchbeast always aims at the enemy’s back.

To pre-purge the sprouts that inherited the future battlefield.

It was a fucking basic tactic that was often used on Earth as well.

“If the war situation intensifies more than now, I won’t be able to keep an eye on this place anymore.”

She came over and held my hand tightly.

“Eugene-nim. Please protect the children.”

Silver eyes look at me.

I’ve never fought to protect anyone.

Because the one I fought was only to kill the Witchbeast.

However, I had to nod my head.

I was her disciple, I was Helios’ professor.

“All right.”

She smiled in affirmation.

It was a bright smile with a pure and clear light.

Dimensional Intersection, Picatinny Society.

The Picatinny Society, held on the 1st of every month, is especially busy today.

The reason is Yujin Kang and Skadi’s lecture.

Scholars from all over the world gathered at the word that the two most famous professors in the current academic world would give a joint lecture.

Looking at the people who filled the wide lecture hall, Lapless sighed.

“If anyone sees it, they’ll think it’s an idol concert.”

“Aren’t they idols? Among scholars.”

Next to her is Inspector Claire, chewing popcorn while watching the lecture hall.

Even in the midst of this, the sunglasses that he did not take off were shining.

“Guys. How long until the lecture?”

“Five minutes left, sir.”

“Oh, can’t you make the time go faster?”

“Oops. If that was possible, why are we rotting under the Inspector General?”

While the subordinates around him nodded, the subordinate who objected was sunk after a night of honeymoon.

what kind of joke is this

Lapless sighed again and looked around.

Mason, Master of the Magic Tower.

Helios General Vincent.

Altair’s Thereon and Vega’s Helena are also located.

In addition to the faces of scholars, there are a lot of people who are ignorant if you just name them.

It was the first time since the opening of the Picatinny Society that such a splendid lecture had been held.

‘That’s the meaning of this lecture.’

The ‘materialized spirit’ that was considered a dream and its implantation.

Is there any scholar who won’t roll his eyes at this?

In short, there will be no one.

Even now, outside the lecture hall, scholars knocking on the door asking for permission to stand up were flocking like ants.

‘I’ll have to watch.’

How great are you planning to show?

Laflis stared at the stage with her arms crossed with wide eyes.

so much-

Eventually, the two professors appeared just in time.

Skadi, who walked lightly like a feather with a wagging tail, walked ahead, followed by Kang Yu-jin’s heavy and tidy steps.

First, while materials for human body flexibility were being set, Kang Yoo-jin stepped forward.

The hunter who looked over the buzzing crowd opened his mouth.

“”quiet””

Red eyes shine, and a voice that spreads like tinnitus hits the entire lecture hall.

The audience, who had been buzzing with the waves of mind control, all shut up.

He looked at the place where the silence fell, with satisfaction, and continued.

“Today’s topic, the fusion of human body transmutation and mental determination.”

right!

The lecture hall was darkened by the snapped fingers.

The light was turned off leaving only the minimum amount of light.

“let’s begin.”

That’s it.

There was no introduction of the lecturer, no prefaced greetings.

No introduction to introduce yourself, no greetings with flattery and pretense. he ignored it

The only thing that matters in a lecture is the content.

“The entire process of transplanting the mind into the human body will be relayed through the screen.”

A large hologram screen appeared on the stage.

Kang Yu-jin’s hand appeared enlarged on the screen, and one of the main topics of this lecture, ‘Self-determination’, was heard there.

“That’s…”

“That crystallized consciousness.”

admiration and questioning.

Suspicions arose as to where he had obtained such things, but he did not answer them.

Because it wasn’t necessary here.

“First. Let’s start with the softness of the human body.”

Yujin Kang’s eyes turned to Skadi.

In front of the operating table where the setting was completed.

Skadi, who expressed Yeon Seong-jin, bit her tail.

It’s her habit when she’s focused.

hey hey-

Along the ductile formation, materials gather, mix, and begin to react.

The union of flames and sparks flickered along with the light of Yeon Seong-jin.

The compacted and hardened material slowly germinates into biological tissue and begins to take shape.

The fading light soon disappeared, and Skadi’s transformation came to an end.

What she created was something wrapped in a red film rather than a human body.

The shape of a “fetus” wrapped in amniotic fluid that cannot yet be called a human being.

People questioned the appearance of not making a whole human body.

In the end, Mason, unable to overcome his curiosity, raised his hand.

“Is there a reason you grew up as a fetus?”

“I stand to create a body suitable for the mind to be transplanted.”

The body follows the form of the mind.

sign. Instinct. habit.

The basic factor that determines the ‘self’ is expressed as ‘action’, and the body develops according to the action expressed by the ‘self’.

But what if you put your underdeveloped immature ego into an overdeveloped body?

The ego will adapt itself to the already completed body, or confusion will arise due to mismatch between hardware and software.

This is like putting a child’s mind into an adult’s body and a wizard’s mind into a swordsman’s body.

“To implant an undeveloped self, you need an equally undeveloped body.”

Kang Yoo-jin, who answered calmly, approached the front of the film with a decision.

While exchanging glances with Skadi, who was ready, she set her decision on the surface.

“Let’s start the transplant.”

Yujin Kang’s mind control and Skadi’s magic circle shine.

Step 3. Crystals that resonated with the force of erosion slowly melted into the film.

The decision settled in the still blank brain of the fetus, and slowly began to take root there.

“Professor Skadi. Neuron synaptic connections.”

“Heungheung.”

Skadi, who was biting his tail, caught up with Yujin Kang’s mental control.

Mechanisms of a vast number of brain neurons and cells.

Intervening in cell responses that cross immeasurable numbers, they began to build neuronal synapses where the self of decision would be expressed.

In other words, it is a process of carving and sculpting the form of the spirit.

The control of the mind and the operation of magical powers at the molecular level are shown on the screen.

The eyes of the audience widened at the real-time mind transplant process.

“Professor Lafless, are you watching? That’s right…”

“·······.”

“professor?”

When Lafless didn’t respond, Claire turned her head.

There, Lafless, who was already half-excited, was frantically taking notes.

“Uh…?”

It’s not just Lapless.

Leading scholars and wizards, including the owner of the mage tower, are repeating notes over and over again.

This is a new era in the magical operation of manipulating cellular mechanisms with magical power, connecting nerves and building neuronal structures.

Inspiration beyond shock swept through their brains, and they constantly raised their pens in order not to forget even a little bit of what they had just seen.

Chijik- Chijik-

As the ego began to settle in, the demonic energy began to well up.

Since this is the ego of the demon, it instinctively starts generating demonic energy in the body.

“Professor Skadi.”

nodding-

The powers of the two intersect.

Magi transforms the body structure.

If left as it is, the body will literally become a ‘beast’.

Yujin Kang stretched out her hand over the film, and a jewel emitting a brilliant light appeared.

“That, that…!”

“Indeed, enormous holy power… is it really authority!?”

“Using the power of the Constellation with a soft material!”

There was an uproar among those who had not yet had access to the information.

It’s not difficult to recognize the Constellation’s authority, so they panicked before the light.

What Constellation holds its Authority?

The place where the gaze, dazed by the shock, reached was the screen on which the material floated in place of Yujin Kang.

“The most holy power of heaven…?”

Empress of the Constellations.

The audience fell silent before the sight of using the power of the highest star as a material for fusion.

What are they trying to make now?

Amidst the shock that swept the lecture hall, the two professors agreed silently.

Blazing-

The power of the newly transplanted soma burns away the demonic energy.

The power of the demon-denying power penetrated into the nerves, flesh, and bones, strengthening the body, and eliminating the ‘beast instinct’ rooted in the ego.

“Finishing.”

body, self, and authority.

The three elements are perfectly balanced and settled within.

Kang Yu-jin knotted the mental structure and Skadi stabilized the cellular mechanism.

Indeed, it was a grand task that only two masters of mind and magic could accomplish.

“Thank you for your effort.”

“Whew… I thought I was going to die.”

Skadi, who finished the work, had a proud face.

It is ultra-precise mana manipulation at the cellular level.

It was because he was Skadi who reached the 9th circle that he was able to match the sum, but it would have been impossible if it had been another mage.

Yujin Kang also couldn’t help recognizing her ability.

“I’m done.”

“Yes.”

“Are you going to do the rest in the lab? You showed me everything you need.”

Yujin Kang affirmed.

The theme of unity of body and spirit was perfectly shown.

Because it relayed in real time the differentiation of nerves and the settling of the mind, which takes place at the cellular level.

On top of that, there was even a large-scale event that added the power of Laniakea.

The scene where Soma’s power burns down the soaring demonic energy and stabilizes the ego was worthy of being picked as the highlight of this lecture.

“But before that, I have something to demonstrate.”

“A demonstration?”

Skadi blinked and tilted her head.

Got more to show?

Looking at Kang Yoo-jin in a puzzled way, he looked back at the audience and opened his mouth.

“Transmutation is over. However, there will be questions.”

A voice dominates the silence.

The eyes of the audience, which had turned blank, turned to him.

“What is the use of this? Does this life have powers beyond that of ordinary humans? Many people will be curious about that.”

There were people nodding their heads everywhere.

Most military officials.

They wanted to know about the military value of this lecture beyond simple academic meaning.

“Everyone knows the sympathetic nervous system of demons. Their transcendent command system created by connected minds.”

So, he prepares the last bomb.

“Many scholars must have thought. Can’t we figure out their communication system, interpret their tactics, and give overall feedback to our allies?”

The most powerful strength possessed by the witch.

“Can’t we make it ours?”

He laid his hand on the skin.

The ego has not yet awakened, and the function of the glass tube has not been implanted.

However, the mind that melted into this was originally a demonic beast.

It had the power to establish and access the sympathetic nervous system.

“The sympathetic nervous system can be created by any conscious entity. Humans simply did not have a ‘command entity’ to build and supervise the network.”

“Now, wait… Professor Yujin Kang?”

Skadi, who felt that it was unusual, called him, but Kang Yu-jin did not stop.

The mind grip melts into the envelope, awakening its ‘sympathetic nervous system’.

pounding-

Ego pulsating, instinctively seeking a nervous system to connect to.

But there is none of that here.

Even if consciousness is everywhere, there is no network connecting it.

This is because humans do not have the ability to share the mind.

“”Continue””

So, create a new network.

It connects mind and spirit and binds them together as one unified nervous system.

Even if they couldn’t give orders, they had the power to build a nervous system.

“Wait… what is this?”

“Hey, isn’t this my idea?”

“I can’t believe I can hear other people’s thoughts.”

perplexity and doubt. A huge shock beyond that.

Their brains interpret current phenomena in the past.

“This is… the sympathetic nervous system?”

It is different from the ‘Hive Mind’, which simply connects minds to minds to form an arithmetic body.

A higher level than that, a whole mental network that allows for communication between the two sides has been established.

The ego wrapped in that film was the result of functioning as a general entity.

“The future of the battlefield that this will create.”

Consciousness to be integrated. shared feelings.

Emotions of overwhelming and awe beyond shock echo.

His voice resounded like a revelation in the vast mind connected as one.

“The ‘human’ sympathetic nervous system.”
