Episode 196
Copy (1)
Two priests arrived at Jeong Do’s house.
And that was the moment I passed through the broken door and entered the room.
Jiyiing.
A strange sensation began to surround the two people who entered the house. Jeongdo let out a short sigh. It was because I had felt this sensation before.
To be precise, it was a feeling I had felt twice. And one of them didn’t last long. Feeling as if time and space had stopped, Do-do turned his head and looked at Cheok Jun-kyung.
Cheok Jun-kyung’s smiling expression remained frozen. Time has stopped.
After taking a quick look around, he opened his mouth.
“Winry.”
“yes. My Lord.”
Winry, with her black hair and matching black dress, appeared silently in front of Jeongdo. The fact that he couldn’t feel her presence at all was similar to Winry in the ‘real universe’, but to some extent, she didn’t have as much affection for the black Winry in front of her as she did.
“What’s going on? “I don’t remember finding you.”
“That’s a sad thing to say. Well, it’s okay anyway. Because unrequited love is like this. “The reason I came this time is because I have something to give to you.”
“This is my first time hearing this. “I don’t think I’ve done anything to deserve anything.”
Winry slightly shrugged her head as if regretful when Do-do did not react at all to the word unrequited love.
And then he immediately spoke to Jeong-do as if that had nothing to do with it.
“Didn’t I tell you last time? Just like me in the real universe, I too have come to support you with all my might. Just like me in the real universe, of course I have to give a gift.”
“It’s a gift.”
Jeong Do recalled old memories from her words.
Before I became a user, I barely managed to save 300 million as a member of a guild and awaken as a user.
The result was only 3 talents. And among them, there was not a single talent related to combat.
I was as disappointed as I had expected, but that disappointment turned into joy in less than a day.
This is because a woman wearing a maid uniform named Winry, who visited him from the ‘real universe’, gave him a miracle.
After being immersed in pleasant memories for a moment, Do-do came to his senses and asked the woman in front of him.
“So what are you going to give me?”
“Just as I gave the <Drawing> ability to Jeong Do in ‘The Real Universe’, I also plan to give the <Drawing> ability.”
Winry said that and took a step forward.
“However, the <draw> ability I am giving you is not a <draw> ability that loads a character from the ‘copy universe’ rather than a character from the ‘real universe’. how is it? Cool, right? This is something only I can give you. “It’s an ability that I, in the real universe, can’t even dream of.”
“… Does it have any meaning?”
Characters from the copy universe?
What’s the big deal about loading characters from your copy universe when you can already load characters from the real universe? If a person exists in the copy universe, of course he also exists in the real universe.
Moreover, if limited to Earth, ‘Earth in the copy universe’ has a very low mana density compared to ‘Earth in the real universe’.
In a word, the characters of the copy Earth are much weaker than the characters of the real universe, except for exceptions such as Cheok Jun-kyung.
There was no reason to load a weaker character. He looked at Winry as if the extent was questionable.
“Okay then, here’s a question. Mr. Jeongdo. Does the Cosmic Agent have talent? “Isn’t there any?”
“… … .”
Jeongdo didn’t answer and just looked at her quietly. She didn’t care about the somewhat dull response and spoke powerfully, increasing her tension on her own.
“The correct answer is! there is. The real universe… I feel uncomfortable because you keep saying that. I’ll just call it white. It’s the perfect color for a woman full of hypocrisy. Anyway, she has talent, as do White and I.”
“… “I don’t understand the intent of the question.”
“If you listen more, you will understand. I have a lot of things, but I have to name just two… One is <Assembly-lv.3>… ”
Winry whispered, her voice quiet, as if she was revealing something very secret.
“The other one is <Copy-lv.3>. “If it’s natural, it’s natural.”
“hmm. Right.”
Copy it.
Do-do nodded at Winry’s plausible words. Even though she was an agent of the ‘copy universe’, she was not a strange talent at all.
Let me add one more thing to that… He was also a talent who smelled like a fraud. I asked her, slightly nervous about her degree.
“Could it be a miracle from the beginning?”
“No way. It is clear that he is a rare talent, but it cannot be compared to the miracle of the beginning. Actually, there are quite a few people other than me who have this talent. For example, doppelganger king? Of course, there is no comparison when it comes to how well you handle the talent.”
As she said that, she placed both hands on her hips and pushed her chest forward slightly. She seemed quite proud of her talent.
“Anyway, once I can handle <Copy-lv.3> to my level, I can copy pretty much anything. for example… “It is also possible to copy the Akashic Records, which contain information about the ‘real universe.’”
“what?”
Jeongdo shouted in surprise.
Akashic Records.
In other words, it was like an information library where all the information in the universe, also known as the Void Record, was recorded. Jeongdo also had the skill to read ‘parts’ of the Akashic Records, so he knew better.
How absurd it is to copy the Akashic Records.
It would be no exaggeration to say that it was creating a new world of sorts. Even though he was an agent of the universe, there was no way such a thing was possible.
And Winry continued speaking with a smile, as if that level of thought was evident in her expression.
“I know what you’re thinking. Yes, as you might guess, no matter how good I am with <copying>, it would be impossible to copy the entire Akashic Records. That would be impossible for anyone, not me. So, I selected and copied only the parts that would be helpful to you. To be precise, I copied only the category called <People>. And I created my own mini library.”
Winry said that and started walking around the room. The deep blush on her face clearly showed how excited she was right now.
“But even that didn’t work out. Even if we limit it to the information called <Person>, the amount was too much. So, there are people who were successfully copied, and there is information about people who were not. Beings with so much information, such as beings above transcendental gods, failed to copy some of them. But it can’t necessarily be seen as a bad thing.”
Winry lowered her voice once again.
“As it is a clumsy copy, the constraints of the ‘real universe’ were also clumsily copied. Taking advantage of that gap, I was able to do various processing. Mr. Jeongdo. Have you ever heard the saying, ‘There are no ifs in history?’”
“huh?”
Jeongdo tilted his head at her words. This is because it was difficult for her to understand his intention.
“I will make history happen. I will reassemble the history to my liking from the little library I have copied. You will be able to load ‘new historical figures’ from the library! Rebellion of copies! Fake that surpasses the real! “Isn’t that really cool?”
“… “I need more explanation.”

Winry’s eyes sparkled and she asked Do-do for empathy, but Do-do was still in a dazed mood.
What if in history?
Let alone whether such an absurd thing is possible, what do you gain by doing it?
“There is something called <grade> for characters loaded through the lottery system. Starting from normal to god level. Mr. Jeongdo. Have you ever thought about what criteria that grade is set by?”
Of course I’ve thought about it. Isn’t it your ability?
Jeong Yak-yong and Jo Ja-ryong.
Although they were people of the same diamond level, their power was so different that it was embarrassing to compare. What can be inferred from this is that other factors besides force affect the rating.
“Individual power and achievements?”
“yes. that’s right. Of course, there are other minor factors, but those are the two biggest factors. And the two are closely related. “The more accomplishments a person has, the more opportunities they will have, and they will be able to use those opportunities to become stronger.”
I thought I knew what you meant.
It was natural that the more talented a person was, the more opportunities he or she would be given. And if you overcome that opportunity safely, you will grow further and be given more opportunities. It was a kind of situation where the rich got richer and the poor got poorer.
“What would happen if I reassembled the achievements of people differently from actual history?”
“no way.”
After hearing the explanation up to that point, I finally got a sense of it. If that happens… It was no exaggeration to say that the historical figures one knew became new beings.
Winry smiled brightly and continued speaking.
“What if Admiral Yi Sun-sin, also known as Seongwoong, had a close relationship with King Seonjo?”
“What if Cheok Jun-gyeong, the strongest sword of Goryeo, had not fallen into Lee Ja-gyeom’s hands?”
“What if Zhuge Liang does not fall ill during the Northern Expedition and lives a long life?”
“What if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had been a little kinder to their subordinates?”
“What if Liu Xuan died at the Changpan School and Prince Ming ascended the throne as emperor after Liu Bei?”
“What if the goddess Thetis dipped the heel of her child, Achilles, into the River Styx?”
“What if Siegfried had not fallen on his back when he defeated the evil dragon and bathed in its blood?”
“What if conquering monarchs like Gwanggaeto the Great, Alexander, and Khan lived just a little longer?”
“What if Xiang Yu was moderate and used Han Xin sparingly?”
“What if King Arthur was a woman?”
“How has the world and how have they changed?”
“… … .”
At Winry’s words, Jeong-do couldn’t help but swallow his drool.
I don’t know the meaning of the last sentence, but other than that, it was a story you could imagine at least once.
According to what Winry said, Yi Sun-sin and Cheok Jun-kyung would have risen to high positions and been given more opportunities.
If Winry had said, the Shu Dynasty would not have fallen in vain like that. No, perhaps it was the Shu dynasty that unified the three kingdoms.
If Winry said it, both Achilles and Siegfried would have achieved complete immortality and not disappear in vain.
The conquering monarchs would have occupied ever more vast territories, and Xiang Yu would have subjugated Liu Bang.
If history goes that way, one thing is certain, even if nothing else is known.
That all of those characters would have become much stronger than those recorded in actual history. And Winry was saying that he allows himself to be loaded with such characters.
At least now I can see why she is so confident. She approached him and smiled brightly.
“You can still become much stronger. “The Copy Universe” offers a gift in honor of the “Miracle of the Beginning,” so please accept it.”
like.
Like when he first met Winry from the real universe.
With the same lines as then.
A beautiful woman in a black dress bowed her head like that.
