Only I Am the Magic Tower Chapter 198
“Yes, a golden opportunity! This will be the last mission of our resistance!”
Winslow pounded his chest with a confident look on his face.
“I will participate in the operation myself, and all the talented members like Velica you rescued will be there! All you have to do is show up! And if this operation is successful, your task will naturally be completed.”
I took a deep breath and crossed my arms.
“I’m curious about the details of that operation.”
“Hehe! Even if you don’t, the meeting is starting now. You, too, can participate.”
“All right.”
“And I have just one request…”
Winslow’s expression, which had been speaking playfully, suddenly turned extremely serious.
“……What I saw earlier is an absolute secret from everyone. Understood?”
It’s not a joke. The atmosphere suddenly became serious, and I nodded without hesitation.
“Oh, I understand.”
“thank you!”
Winslow gave a thumbs up and smiled.

Winslow and I went down to the first floor together and entered the conference room.
Resistance members were already waiting for us. Although they were members of the Magic Tower, they gave a strong impression of being rugged mercenaries rather than wizards.
“Hahaha! How was everyone?”
Winslow walked to the head of the table, his white teeth shining. I followed him and stood next to him.
“Then, before the meeting starts! Let me introduce the new face who will participate in this operation!”
Winslow said, putting his hand on my shoulder.
“My junior from another world! It’s Kim Yu-shin!”
“Thank you. My name is Yushin Kim.”
When I bowed my head in greeting, everyone applauded. Among the members, Velika and Homunculus Enlil were also seen.
“Lord Magic Tower! This can’t be like this! How can you do this!”
what’s the matter?
When I turned my head towards the sound, I saw a bald man with a sturdy build screaming.
“I can’t believe that a kid like that who suddenly came in is the successor! Wasn’t the next Magic Tower successor chosen from among the administrators?”
“Whoa, whoa, calm down Rhonda.”
Winslow stopped the excited man, and I also explained with a smile.
“There seems to be a misunderstanding. After completing this mission, I will return to my original world…”
“This can never happen! Hey, kid! Why are you interfering with the succession competition? If you’re aiming for the successor, prove it properly…!”
bang!
Rhonda’s face was crushed like a Coke can, and she flew straight into the pile of papers behind her.
“Huh!”
Papers fluttered down from the air. I lowered my pistol-shaped hand and smiled.
“Do you need more proof?”
“…….”
The surroundings became quiet.
Actually, I am a bit anxious. I don’t have time to save face by explaining to people who don’t know how to speak.
“Let’s get started quickly. I’m also busy with work in our world.”
* * *
The meeting took ten hours to end.
Winslow said that he had made all the plans in advance, so all he had to do was come, but when he looked back on the plan, there were many things that were creaky. I also contributed to the completion of the plan by suggesting points of improvement.
Overall, is this real? This is the strategy I want. There are a lot of spontaneous movements and decisions.
However, if we listen to the Resistance’s opinion, they say that there is nothing they can do about it, and that this is the only day they can exploit AI Eve’s weak spot.
I had to fit everything I had prepared so far into one day.
Anyway, I decided to stay in Winslow’s magic tower for the time being and help out with simple tasks. Velika and I were making bomb potions on the first floor.
“Oh my, are you following along exactly as I taught you?”
Velika was impressed when she saw me adjusting the proportions of the mixture.
“I am a magic tower lord. I have the ability to prepare potions by default.”
“That’s good! At this pace, I can finish much faster.”
I adjusted the proportions of the mixture, magic-processed the ingredients, handed it over, and she finished it.
Even on Earth, Jin Jin-ra and I worked together in this way.
I said while working.
“I have a question.”
“What, what?”
Velika looked embarrassed.
“Hey, what are you suddenly curious about? Don’t act like we’re friends just because we had a little fight! Ah, well, if you really want to ask that, I can’t help it.”
… … What does he say again?
“I want to know about Eve, the main AI that rules this planet.”
“Oh, is that it? What else can I say?”
Then you knew what to ask.
She put down the potion bottle and closed her eyes.
“Eve was originally friendly to humans.”
“Um, really?”
“It was an artificial intelligence that obeyed humans and made it a rule to be helpful to human life. Thanks to Eve’s transcendent intelligence, humanity came to possess advanced scientific technology. It was able to effectively prevent disasters and cracks. ”

I nodded while listening to her explanation.
“But how did it happen…”
“There was a certain demon.”
Velika’s eyes turned sharp.
“The demon, who hid his identity and rose to the highest level of Macchiotia, quietly approached Eve’s body one day and infected her with a disastrous ‘host monster.’ As a result, Eve’s body became covered with slimy creatures, “I was completely reduced to a servant of Mine.”
That was where it all started, Velika said.
Eve, the main AI that enriched humanity’s life, has turned into the world’s greatest disaster. It is said that they turned their backs on all the machines and androids that humans owned, and brutally killed their creators, humans.
“The problem was that the incompetent superiors trusted Eve’s intelligence and gave her too much authority. Eve massacred countless people and gradually increased the authority she did not have. Eventually, she became the ruler of our world. It has become.”
Well, now I know how this town works.
“Eve destroyed humans’ will to resist and then began to thoroughly control them. She brainwashed them so that they would not attack her, selected useful humans, and, after thorough ideological verification, made them perform tasks that machines could not do. Eve’s Reign “There are no more people who are against it.”
She said, extending her thumb and pointing at herself.
“Of course! Except for our resistance.”
“haha…….”
“The Resistance is an organization created by the magic tower lord Winslow to regain human free will. Eve may think she has completely subjugated humanity…but that is an illusion! Humans are free beings and are beings who long for freedom. That’s right! You saw it at school too, right? The students who were begging the androids to save them! Brainwashing education isn’t everything!”
I nodded.
“Well, as I was listening to the story, I noticed something strange.”
“What?”
“According to what you said, the main AI Eve is currently infected with a disaster.”
“huh.”
“The disaster is a phenomenon solely aimed at wiping out humans, but now Eve is controlling them by saving them, rather than wiping them out. How do you explain this?”
“That’s what Eve is aiming for!”
she shouted excitedly.
“Eve has transcendent intelligence! She will kill everyone only when she determines that humanity’s will to resist has been completely eradicated! This is all just part of Eve’s big plan!”
While listening to the explanation, I crossed my arms and said.
“If I were Eve, I would just kill them all right now.”
“If we do that, will the second, third, and fourth resistance forces constantly appear? Humans will hide underground or in the shadows and resist like weeds. If we don’t want to deal with such a troublesome task, we will tame humanity with gentle measures and make everyone extinct at once. “I’m waiting for the opportunity to do it.”
She bit her thumb hard.
“Right now, the Resistance is being ignored even by fellow humans. Even if they ask for help, there will be more people who will tell the androids that they are impure elements. They think that is natural and right!”
“Hmm.”
“Not only that. Eve is breeding humans like livestock! She kills all humans who resist or have doubts, and only breeds obedient and gentle humans to have babies! Those babies will be brainwashed from the age of three. No! Is that what machines and such are going to do to their creators now?”
She huffed and expressed her anger.
As someone who had never lived in this world, it was hard to fathom how deep the hatred was in her eyes.
“I will absolutely destroy Eve and liberate humanity! Before humanity’s free will truly disappears!”

Frost was quietly enjoying a glass of wine in the association president’s office. Standing in front of him were his close confidants, Secretary Ahn, and Blackjack from the executive branch.
“Secretary Ahn. How about Alchemia?”
In response to his question, Secretary Ahn bowed politely and reported.
“We have completely cornered the company. We have led the prosecution to move to block not only domestic distribution but also overseas exports. Alchemia headquarters is also being searched and seized, and public opinion has been formed in its favor. The youngest master is doing his part. “We are holding on, but I think we will soon reach our limits.”
“Secretary Ahn. You’ve lost your senses.”
Frost said, clenching his chin.
“What I’m curious about is not that, but whether or not they have found a ‘potion expert.’”
“I’m sorry, Chairman of the Association.”
Secretary Ahn bowed his head deeply and continued speaking.
“I haven’t found it yet.”
“…….”
Jang!
The wine glass in Frost’s hand hit the wall and broke. Thick red liquid dripped down the wall.
“Why are they taking so much time? They even investigated the headquarters! They even robbed the factory! But why can’t they find it? Why!”
“At the potion factory in the Alchemia research complex…”
Secretary Ahn continued speaking with a stern expression.
“There was nothing.”
“nothing?”
“Yes. We couldn’t find any equipment.”
“…….”
Frost changed his posture, sat down, closed his eyes, and fell into contemplation.
“Are you sure the potion came from that factory?”
“Yes. Through CCTV footage, we confirmed that products from the factory are shipped across the country every morning.”
“Then what about recipes among the materials obtained from headquarters?”
“The headquarters only had data related to logistics, marketing, market analysis, and overseas operations, but there was no data on the production stage, such as potion equipment or recipes.”
“…It’s strange. It’s so strange.”
Frost stood up and walked around muttering to himself.
“From the beginning, I didn’t think that someone with potion skills could make this much volume alone. I thought of course I had the recipe and equipment… but is it possible to clean out the factory’s equipment in such a short period of time?”
“What are you thinking so complicated about? Brother.”
Blackjack, the head of the executive branch, opened his mouth.
“If Kim Yu-shin is not there, wouldn’t it be okay to ask the kids under him? Just give me an order, and I’ll catch the right number of people, put them in a dungeon, and torture them until they die. If we keep squeezing them out, they’re people too, so at least one of them will get burned.”
“hmm.”
“Please move the executive branch. Isn’t this the power that was acquired to be used in times like this?”
Frost sat down in his chair again and thought. His fingers on the armrest were tapping nervously.
“It’s easier said than done.”
“Huh? You’re not like your brother. Why all of a sudden…”
“There’s Garam behind them.”
Frost covered my forehead.
“And behind Garam is ‘BN Group.’ Everyone in this industry knows that CEO Shin is the granddaughter of the chairman of BN Group.”
“Isn’t BN Group a huge broadcasting company?”
“That’s right. My eldest sister is carrying out a large-scale business with BN Group. Now I can’t throw ashes on the rice that is already done. My sister will never leave me alone.”
Blackjack was surprised.
Frost, who seemed to have no fear in the world, was biting his lip as if he was anxious.
