Chapter 417
West Africa.
Due to the Mana Disaster that occurred 42 years ago, the land of the dead has become a place filled with poisonous air.
Until now, no one has been able to figure out what is going on in this land.
The barrier of takgi and miasma blocked 100% of the outside gaze, and also completely blocked mana and radio waves, so it was impossible to investigate.
‘… … No matter how dangerous the land was, I wondered if it was possible not to send an investigator even once. It’s not worth sending.’
In the 42 years since this land became like this, not a single investigation team has been dispatched.
It was dangerous, and all countries refused to send an investigation team.
Even though there was an agreement that the country that solved this problem would be able to claim the territorial rights of the western continent of Africa, no country moved.
Even ‘America’.
I was thinking that was weird. Now I know why.
The poison here is beyond imagination.
‘… … No matter what wizard comes, I can’t last two hours in here.’
No matter how important a territory or resource is, there is no resource as important as a wizard.
Sending a wizard to a place like this is just cutting off high-end resources.
So it was abandoned for 42 years.
‘If this situation had occurred in the Americas, the United States would have moved to solve it somehow… … .’
If the land where this miasmic storm landed was the American mainland, the United States would have moved to purify this land by mobilizing all means for its own safety.
However, this is Africa.
Even if something goes wrong here, there will be no problem in America.
The position of other countries will be similar.
Everyone decided to neglect this land in pursuit of their own interests.
‘Thanks to that, the miasma got worse.’
After 42 years of neglect, the condition of the interior has deteriorated further.
I don’t know how strong the miasma is because I don’t have previous data.
It is estimated to be at least twice as strong.
“Heir. I just got the calculation If we leave it like this, it will explode within five days.”
No, I caught it twice as low.
3 times. It could have been more than 4 times darker.
Otherwise, I cannot explain the current situation.
“Once it explodes, of course this miasma will cover the entire world.”
takki and poison.
The two energies are fluctuating as if they are about to explode right now.
A bomb about to explode would be less unstable than this.
“If the miasma and takki can’t be calmed down somehow, the world will collapse.”
Mimir warned the world with a serious expression.
“… … okay. Apparently, Finis is not the problem.”
Phineas and Mo.
First of all, this situation needs to be resolved.
It’s not too late to find Finis after solving the problems here.
“Mimir. First of all, why did Dokgi and Takgi become so unstable? Could you please look into that?”
“… … for a moment. I’m still counting.”
Mimir answered me, moving his hands around.
They were calculating using a hologram screen that only Mimir could see.
“Heir. Extract the miasma separately and extract some data. If possible, in about 10 places separately.”
Data is required for calculations.
And it’s my job to collect that data.
“okay. Anything else you need?”
“First of all, poison is the key, so all you have to do is take care of poison. In the case of takgi, the structure is not that complicated.”
“okay.”
I immediately started collecting miasma.
Among the takgi and poisonous air flowing around, filter the takgi and collect only the poisonous air.
‘And use the shadows of Umbra to store the collected miasma separately.’
If the miasma is left unattended, it will react to other miasma and muddy air around it, causing it to fluctuate again.
With Umbra, the possibility of that happening is completely blocked.
‘Complete one with this.’
It took about 5 minutes to complete one lump of miasma.
Repeat this 9 more times.
I quickly moved to my seat and gathered my miasma again.
The second task was a little trickier than the first task.
‘Two with this.’
next third.
The work got progressively faster as we went further. The tips are also tips, but I succeeded in figuring out the nature of the miasma, so the reason for taking so long disappeared.
“Mimir. It’s done.”
It took a total of 23 minutes to make 10 poisonous air masses.
Considering that it took five minutes to make the first loaf, it was a huge step forward.
“already?”
Mimir replied with a surprised expression.
“It is very fast. It must not have been an easy task to separate poison and takgi.”
“Since I’ve been doing it, I’ve roughly stuck to the tips.”
I handed Mimir ten lumps of miasma.
“As I collected them, I also learned what kind of properties poisonous air possesses.”
As a bonus, I also learned why Mimir said, ‘You don’t have to worry about takki.’
Certainly, takgi has a monotonous nature compared to poison.
What should I say?
Miasma is poison, so there are countless mutant types.
Takgi is all just takgi, so it should be said that there is no room for variables to arise.
Anyway, I found out why Mimir only cares about poison.
“If you know what the internal properties are like, you won’t have to do a detailed analysis with the flask and materials, right?”
“no. that’s not the order I only knew roughly how the structure was structured. I don’t know the details.”
“okay? but. No matter how many heirs you are, you won’t be able to figure out the details… … .”
Mimir nodded a couple of times as if he understood.
“okay. So, let’s start with the data right away. successor. Please take the flask out of Aes and collect the internal properties.”
“okay.”
I quickly started to data the poison.
“Mimir. here.”
“thank you. Please ask for the next one.”
I handed over the completed data conversion to Mimir.
Proceed with data conversion of the next poison immediately.
This operation was repeated 10 times in total.
“… … We have come to a conclusion.”
The job was done in 20 minutes.
Mimir said with a sharp expression.
“this. It is not a natural phenomenon.”
“Unless it is a natural phenomenon… … A phenomenon that someone created artificially?”
“uh.”
Mimir showed me the finished data.
“here. As you can see, the structure of the miasma is quite deformed.”
“… … Is it deformed?”
I could understand the structure.
I didn’t even know that it was a deformed structure.
“It is deformed. If you look at it, Deluciana, Perlane, Solan, and Fulloarentirun. There is an artificial structure sandwiched between these four basic structural formulas of miasma.”
“… … .”
I don’t know.
There was no information about the basic structure of miasma, so I couldn’t figure out what the transformation was.
“… … okay. Are you saying it’s deformed anyway?”
“uh. very. It is a structure that could never occur naturally.”
It’s a 100% artificial phenomenon.
Mimir was so sure.
“okay.”
To say that Mimir was so sure was 100%.
“So you’re saying that someone intentionally deformed the miasma’s structure to make it unstable in order to send it to the rest of the world?”
“It wasn’t that the miasma itself was destabilized. To be affected by table air and heat up… … .”
“anyway. It is true that someone intentionally created this phenomenon.”
Put aside Mimir’s incomprehensible theories for now.
I have summarized and organized only the conclusions about the current situation.
“that’s right.”
“… … okay.”
Someone deliberately created this situation.
I mean this word.
“… … bale stall. Or a load of bail stalls. It must be one of them.”
“huh. It will.”
It is said that it was the black magician who created this situation.
“From the beginning, Takgi and Venom were also the powers that black magicians used all the time. It wouldn’t have been that difficult to craft it this way.”
such as the transformation of miasma.
It must have been an easy task for Bale Stoll, the beginning of black magic.
“I think he decided that it would be difficult to beat Sein 1:1, and started preparing to slowly gnaw away the entire world.”
“… … That’s what Bale would do.”
From the position of the veil who dreams of the end of the world, it’s a good enough thing to do.
“… … Should I be lucky with this? Or I don’t know if I should call it bad.”
I came to find Finis, but I can’t find Finis, so I have to prepare to stop Bale’s manipulation.
Should I call this lucky or bad?
“A good one. If you haven’t noticed, it’s one hit. I wouldn’t have been able to hit it with the words.”
“… … That too.”
Finding Finis was delayed, but as a result, it was possible to prevent a situation that could cause fatal injuries.
I guess you could say I was lucky.
“so. How to solve this situation?”
I knew that this situation was created by Bale Stall.
Now the question has turned to how to prevent this situation.
“… … .”
Mimir kept his mouth shut.
He has a serious expression.
“… … doesn’t exist?”
Maybe I haven’t found a way to stop it yet.
“Are you running out of data?”
If the lack of data is the cause, we just need to collect a little more data.
“no.”
Mimir shook his head.
“The data is sufficient. The miasma in the depths might be a little thicker, but the structure itself would be the same as this one. Data doesn’t matter.”
Mimir stared straight into my eyes.
“The problem is that there is no way to use this data.”
There is no way to use the data.
that means this.
“… … Are you saying there is no way to return the changed miasma to its original state?”
“no. There is a way to return the miasma itself to its original structure. First of all, I know this structure is deformed. There’s no way you don’t know how to get it back to its original structure.”
Knowing that the structure is deformed means knowing its source.
As long as you know both, it’s not that difficult to change the deformed structure back to the original one.
“The problem is that changing to the original structure is not the solution.”
“why?”
“The already mutated miasma heats up, fuses with the taekki, and creates an updraft… … . No, it started to create turbulence.”
“turbulence… … .”
It means that poison and takgi have become one and spread out in all directions.
“Even if I change the miasma now, I can’t stop this turbulent flow itself.”
Even if you try to do it the way it was, you can’t cut off the flow of air.
It was like that.
“To solve the situation, we need to change the structure of the miasma to a negative structure, not the original structure.”
“minus… … . You mean we have to build a structure that opposes the flow of turbulence?”
“that’s right.”
Mimir narrowed his eyes.
“in short. It means that the miasma needs to be improved.”
“… … .”
new transformation.
It has to be done on the spot, within 4 days.
‘No matter how much Mimir… … .’
Even if it’s Mimir, it’s hard.
I don’t know if it’s related to mana, but poison is not Mimir’s specialty.
It would be close to impossible to complete within four days.
“It is difficult to prevent this situation through research or modification of miasma.”
Mimir bowed his head with an expression of disdain.
“… … okay.”
How come things are easily solved? Then it is.
“If it is not possible to eliminate the cause, there is no choice but to eliminate the effect.”
“… … huh. that’s right.”
Mimir answered with his head still bowed.
“Purely by force. I have no choice but to get rid of the miasma here.”
Eliminate all poisonous air here.
Purify at least half, if not all.
That’s the only way.
“then. First of all, contact Sein. As many people as possible… … .”
No matter how thick my poison is.
If you gather the power of all existing wizards, you should be able to handle it to some extent.
Now that the situation is like this, there is no choice but to gather the power of the whole world.
“… … no. for a moment.”
I was thinking so.
Suddenly, an idea came to mind.
There was no need to gamble on attracting all the other wizards.
“Mimir.”
“… … why?”
“Pinice.”
Mythical magic that breaks down boundaries and opens gaps. Phineas.
“… … uh?”
Mimir’s eyes slowly widened.
“If I use Phinis, wouldn’t it be possible to remove all the miasma inside?”
Ironically, the clue to solving this situation was within this.
