Chapter 212: The Magical Formula of Angels (2)
I0YiYUq“He said Geppin. It’s the same Geppin who created Geppin’s Gate, right? Why did Miro call that person at the last moment?”7FAoG
V8uLIkael blinked with a surprised expression.SnY6
neAjLMShe did not expect Shirone to have heard that voice. However, she soon continued explaining in a calm tone.rgEd
OSsCP“Geppin was the first guardian who protected your world from the army of heaven. Miro is, so to speak, Geppin’s successor.”C1q1lZg
EtM63z5“What? Miro wasn’t the first?”6552F
I3Eyg4“Their situations were different, but basically that’s how it is. McCline Geppin, that man was one of the most outstanding humans in your world. No, even superior to any nephilim. That’s why he separated humanity from God.”wPg2P
oqm5“Then, where is he now?”vvuvni
UmX9QvIkael shook her head.TGoYFR
u8JIbo7“He went to a place that even I cannot observe. Leaving behind his successor, Miro.”Irm5B
dnw“But that means…”4umjB
pmDE“That’s right. She must eternally fulfill the role of a barrier in a place where time does not flow. Otherwise, Shirone’s world will be destroyed.”Eta7Cfo
psw3Shirone’s lips trembled.c1UvYaM
niUklRThe face of Miro he had seen at the end appeared clearly in his mind.tHDKYky
Ddj3u0How must she have felt, forced to face endless solitude, isolated from the world?VVUgqB
Yc8BvWNAt that moment, a terrifying thought came to him.9OoVP
X0SHe recalled one by one the conversations he had with the director.7nDEiv
gRwrWJAt that time, Alpheas’s face had seemed sad. No, sometimes he even showed a frightening expression, as if he were angry.viLq
f5DDsWhat if Miro had not chosen that path of her own will?xlSbd
rwWFpBpWhat if she had been isolated by someone’s force?8eB
eHYAt that point, Shirone felt a chill run through his body.1nnXT
rSIfxgIt could not even be called a crime.GTkZcu
36FLQ5It was a decision that had cast a human being into eternal hell.6hEg
CokTA“How long will Miro have to…?”B4a
6kAEYnW“Right now the army of heaven is still fully preparing for the final war. It may not take long to begin. Because the coordinates are recorded in the Metagate that Shirone’s group brought.”Sva
4qwn2Shirone’s mind went blank.JoiL
EAL9PZeMiro had sealed the gate of heaven using large-scale magic.lx2Y
eiKkBut the Metagate was practically the same as opening a new gate to heaven.dOa5kb
P96rzA5“That can’t… be…”312s
Ju4TQht“No. It is possible. If they have the Metagate, with heaven’s technology they can easily enter while bypassing Miro’s space-time.”VAkK00
AjdVLShirone felt as if his chest collapsed.UgyE7
zBprThis was not a matter of life or death only for them.1PhKX4
Fsmv9KIt was the destruction of all humanity.on3
Jb8ZHe could not believe it was true.SNHQM
peTWhat the hell had they done?jg0mU
KOF6“That is also the reason why I want to help. Shirone’s friends are being held in the Grand World Hall. Kariel will implant nephilim information into the bodies of the girls.”6BySuB
Y1wcJRa“Why? You said they are preparing for the final war! Then what does a nephilim have to do with all this?”Muxkxw
MLFAN“The situation has changed. Miro is not a nephilim. And even so, she opened the Immortal Function on her own. It is extremely rare, but in Shirone’s world it happens quite often.”jKDab
Ht2vgHThat was also why he had felt confused when he heard the word nephilim in the refuge of Nor.KnQBsee
4v7jt6There were too many Unlockers for all of them to simply be descendants of angels.SD42QbU
Nxc“That means Shirone’s world has moved far away from the will of Ra. Geppin bought time so that humanity could understand the essence of the world. And now that will has been inherited by Miro. Of course, the time she has managed to defend is insignificant compared to Geppin’s. But considering the speed of human growth, it is not something that can be ignored.”jAf
Rd1Shirone also agreed with those words.ncEATdb
2d6zgThe speed of magical development was clearly increasing.Kdnbb4
mgMThere were even analyses saying that the achievements of the last hundred years were inferior to those of the last ten.UGm
ZQUKwbO“Then this time humans will not be defeated so easily.”sO4
C94u9cZ“Exactly. Even if they are few, the rulers of the human world probably already know about the existence of heaven. They are surely preparing in some way. Right now they need as many nephilim as possible.”5vj2Xxk
uM87AShirone trembled with rage.9ub
Hk2VEImplanting angel information into human bodies just to destroy humanity.6RyMXx
9WJ8fPJust imagining Amy giving birth to someone for that reason was unbearable.YC8
TM0Lj4“Why did you just stand by and watch? If you are an archangel, you could ask for their release.”mpJ
VFwIkael looked at Shirone with sad eyes.gDsL0
19cl“Ah…”d6X8t9
xUvIt was obvious.K87uD
LSFlWhy did Miro hate Ikael?qTKytBC
HvGsiBecause she was the angel who commanded the army of heaven.iyIW6M
8a3NaIkael had also once been an archangel who punished humanity.14v4
VvgNbSK“That’s right. I am an angel. If the final war begins, I will also have to fight against humans.”CRg8S
bvQpAShirone felt all the strength leave his body.uyTO
4pGo9Was this how everything ended?UZNqb1h
KUjBIDid he have to watch his friends be defeated without being able to receive help from anyone in heaven?okq
Y9hc0“If I… had not met Geppin.”zyPrr
SsyIkael smiled with her eyes and stuck out her tongue slightly.PgLfmFw
RvTzT5b“Don’t worry, Shirone. I want to help you. Humans, unlike angels, possess infinite possibilities. I believe the final war should never happen.”dnzg
WhkHShirone looked at her with a stunned expression, but soon understood the weight of her words.Czas
piVKPFdIf an archangel who had reached the rank of great archangel stood on the side of humans, then even if the final war broke out, there would still be hope.SHtV6Up
ISVozShe had said it was before meeting Geppin.UxcT
RpAMKHe could not ask what sin Ikael had committed, but it was obvious that it was related to him.1nx
Pyfqa“But you must not relax too much. My power is sealed. Also, I cannot even leave this room, so even if I want to help you, I cannot provide direct assistance.”sknL
Et4Ql“But with my power, I cannot defeat an angel.”xUBH
2ozXuS“That’s right. Angels are strong. Moreover, if it is Kariel, even before I lost my powers, he would be an archangel too powerful to confront recklessly.”Jj0NlF
Gxh“Then what do we do now?”BHqXElt
QnnipSurely she had not said that just to discourage him.hzHDX
yTf6SkShirone waited, clinging to a thread of hope, for her to offer some kind of solution.G9NO
8I9“There is a method. It will slightly increase the chances of rescuing your friends.”oFH
CfWl“Really? What is it?”rP3hhb
PML“The magical circle of angels. Shirone must use it.”dP7yMbn
VEls6Vt“Then… do you mean the halo?”2uene
tR5kqJq“Exactly. Angels activate their abilities by concentrating information in the halo. If Shirone learns to use it, he will be able to create a decisive opportunity at the crucial moment.”IJ4
y4QShirone remembered what happened in Shamayin.8Yx1
5NTSpThe pressure he felt when Ikasa deployed her halo still lingered in his body.4MoEFk
wJ9czAnd now they were telling him he had to use something like that?7cslc
ExUHe didn’t believe it was possible.mdhOyp
pCDpyoHumans do not possess Over Spirit.ghyS
x0uwWithout a body of sacred light, there isn’t even a space where information can be recorded, so how could he create a magical circle?vD7z
h8nTq“Of course, it won’t be easy. For Shirone to use the magical circle of angels, he must overcome at least three obstacles.”UrL
Mdis7qyIkael raised three fingers as she spoke.1nYag2
DYB“First, create a body of sacred light. The human spirit is inside the body, but I know there is a special method to bring it outside. Can you do it?”S3fV
2Eo9lkJShirone nodded.uPEnX37
AMXslThe concept Ikael referred to was the separation type of the quadrangular method.Yji
yYJtXLjIf he used the separation form, he could imitate the angels’ Over Spirit to some extent.YHxD
TWR“The real problem begins now. Even if you manage to create a body of sacred light, deploying the halo is something completely different. You must draw a perfect circle. If the circle is distorted even slightly, the calculation speed of light decreases drastically, and if it slows down even 0.1%, the abilities of an angel will not manifest.”IZuTcUT
jC2HZOA human cannot draw a perfect circle.MlWgOq
YS0But in the mental realm, it is not impossible.60dhv
yLR8What matters is understanding the mathematical concept of a circle.ky516b
b6bwGIt wouldn’t be easy, but it was a barrier he had to overcome.mMOl02X
AymKfbq“That is the first obstacle. The second is even more serious. The power of angels comes from the enormous amount of information accumulated in the halo. In terms of formulas, it is an amount that a human could not even record in an entire lifetime. The essence of the halo is calculating all of that at the speed of light.”3BLQS
x3ejPEShirone remembered the scene where Ikael caused the eruption of Galliant’s volcano.WguUQ
xw3ILmmThe ability to increase the activity of a dormant volcano twenty thousand times and make it erupt completely surpassed human limits.ywA
ykzSMuC“Even if I could make the perfect circle what about the formulas? The human mind cannot instantly calculate enough information to make a volcano explode.”kuS
0mbQ“But you have intuition. Here we will try something. We will connect mentally. I will become Shirone and use the halo. Then that experience will directly become your own experience and will be engraved in your mind.”fyrWAN
u9Wc“T-that kind of method…?”LmtN1H
UjOHT2Ikael’s gaze became stern.QcBd
r8ySae“Don’t call it a method. It is practically the most extreme form of violence that can be inflicted on a human being. If something goes wrong, Shirone’s mind could break. And my mind, by merging with yours, will not be safe either.”CcPN
lD0Shirone’s stomach twisted.9nZ1F
Y5q1PEIf it was to save his friends, he didn’t care if his mind was destroyed.hWhoHmI
RTAUFrom the beginning, he had already risked his life.T3S
boxaBut if even Ikael was in danger, it wasn’t a decision he could take lightly.T3dx4e
N7MqdX“If I fail…”yAtb9Kc
wg56“Shirone, don’t think about other things. I said I will help you. Don’t worry about me. Right now, just think about saving your friends.”USmbLFz
vYxShirone took a deep breath to calm himself.8ZCu
VImmjeJust as she said, he had no other choice.XVZ
JRCBZ6i“What is the third obstacle?”3Jj498i
p2Slaw“Even if the formula of the magical circle is completed, another issue is whether your mind will be able to withstand it. If your mental resistance is not sufficient, Shirone will be destroyed. This is independent of the risk I face. But if you cannot endure it, it is better not to attempt it from the beginning.”R44Jk
HlVB“Don’t worry about that. I will endure it.”Efy
WAnAs for the final obstacle, he was confident.ssaj
YCRXrHSince entering the magic academy, his mind had always stood out for its resilience.0ueU
4cdNqIMoreover, he had reached the level of the indestructible body, so he believed he could endure it.fuK3jW
bNarh0“You don’t understand. I know your mind possesses a resilience that has never collapsed. But even so, it may not be enough.”JUXCpp
vXW“How can something that never collapses collapse? That sounds contradictory.”MFkVMma
qGV0“No. They are different conceptual levels. If it is about the container that holds your mind, your current resilience is sufficient. But the concept of an angel born in a higher dimension is of a different quality. The container may be sufficient to hold water, but if that water freezes, any container will end up breaking.”R2ICLTt
R5CeLV“I understand.”4psJIm
0Ji1kjQIt was like climbing one mountain after another.D47cN0
X6hZIDTOf the three obstacles she mentioned, none were easy to overcome.5vFV8
EnnRLnvPerhaps that was only natural.of4
hsCO8vAfter all, it meant a human learning the magical circle of a great archangel.QS3
VOKkAYIt made sense to accept that level of risk from the beginning.80WsB
XdU“The halo will cause Shirone’s mind to explode from within. The decision is yours. If even knowing this danger you still want to try, I will help you.”XgBUk2f
hfyFor an angel, the destruction of the mind was equivalent to the extinction of life.tn0
h4YIf Ikael was willing to risk everything to help him, Shirone had no reason to refuse.2kP7qt
lv9vIt was for his friends, but also because an opportunity to learn the true essence of a great archangel would never come again.raascs
JyOSH1c“I will do it. No please, do it. I will accept any result that happens.”3flx
eLmU“Good. The spell I will use with you from now on is called possession. It consists of merging with the mind and controlling the human. Normally, the angels sent use it to transmit the will of Ra.”N3gEo
w9ZEShirone had read about possession in various texts.CX3qT
vdZMjAt that time, he doubted its authenticity, but now that a great archangel said it directly, there was no reason to question it.6RKp5g
XZ4H“If the possession succeeds, our minds will merge. If I had bad intentions, it would be very easy to harm you. And if Shirone loses his purity, that malice will flow into me.”vVWFxM
Mvh2pkIt was a clear warning.lq0
47I9TDIf they were not careful, something irreversible could happen.i8V1T
eqHeK6Shirone nodded calmly again.j3G3OZy
RsVWqPIkael had no reason to harbor bad intentions.nOX
MITBQ3yAnd even if he lost his purity for a moment, he was not such a weak person as to be unable to control it.IFYg0O
