Drug-Eating Genius Mage

“Failed to establish realm. Transition space annihilation. End of the 7th experiment.”

“Wrong.”

Craig shook his head as he listened to the low-pitched announcement.

“The process of manipulating the artificial realm was unstable. If the buttons don’t fit right from the start, there’s no way things will go right.”

A huge underground cavity.

It is an enclosed space where not even a sip of air can escape, with several meters of thick steel plates attached to all visible walls.

Dozens of black magicians were busy adjusting the magic circle that filled a space hundreds of meters in diameter.

Black mana constantly rose and disappeared, slowly melting into the space.

Craig looked down the hollow for a long time without speaking, then turned his head.

Where I turned my gaze, there were dozens of monitors and people who far exceeded that number diligently tapping the keyboard.

“How does the algorithm work?”

“The logic structure is complete, but the moment the spell works, the artificial intelligence gets tangled up and doesn’t work properly.”

A man with thick glasses, standing at the very back with his arms crossed, replied.

“Besides, backing up the data is useless because the algorithm is corrupting into a different form each time the experiment is over.”

A strange phenomenon that cannot be explained by thorough logical structures and calculations alone.

“For now, all I can say is that we need to collect more data on the stage in which artificial intelligence reacts right after the program.”

The bespectacled man grinned at the silent Craig.

“Well, it’s good because it’s fun. You’re not the first person to try something like this, but few have picked a theme as interesting as this one.”

“……..”

“Can a god live inside a hard disk? This has been a topic of discussion for decades in all academic circles, simply independent of our religious beliefs. With this incident, I can give new impetus to the boring old people.”

The man was talking about what he wanted to say to his heart’s content even with Craig, a powerful warlock, in front of him.

You already fully understand that this task would be extremely difficult if you did not borrow their abilities at this moment.

Craig looked at the man blankly before turning the conversation around.

“I don’t have much time.”

A low voice came from under his beard.

“I heard that the temporary base set up to collect data in Palcion was attacked. The speed of chasing the movement of this side is faster than expected.”

“Are they megacity agents? I remembered them as very slow and lazy people… It seems that things have changed in recent years.”

The man who gave a cold reply said while manipulating the computer.

“The pillars that were installed to distort the city’s ley lines are also being removed at a rapid pace. After the meeting, with the funds received from investors, he somehow managed to find another source of power, but how long Zaun can survive is a completely different question. Results should come within at least a month.”

“It would be difficult if there wasn’t much time left for those bandits to tank.”

Craig silently frowned at the man grinning as if it were someone else’s business.

The expression on the man’s face was very relaxed, even for a criminal who burst a human head like a balloon.

That’s probably because the god worshiped by men and other programmers is a bigger monster than Craig.

It’s ironic.

The fact that the fanatics famous for their fiercest beliefs are masters of computer programming tasks that require elaborate and meticulous logic.

However, if he had not accepted this contradiction, the man named Craig would not have existed in this world long ago.

Sometimes I look back at the moment when I didn’t accept the deal the city government handed me.

There was always only one answer.

And in order to resist those monsters, this side has no choice but to call out the same monsters.

Even now that he has become a city-scale criminal, what he wants in the end has not changed.

The infinitely stupid wizard’s eyes soften as much as he sees the children moving after him below.

That was all.
