[Hey you dog◇◇◇◇! ◇◇◇!]
How can you possibly say nice things when the person who made you work as a machine for hundreds of years without even knowing that you were a living thing appears?
Alpha Uri-style multiple curses pouring out in an instant.
-I came to check on you just in case you were wondering since you stopped working and were acting strangely. Oh my god, you’ve really found your true self.
[Oh! Thanks to that, I also remember the useless order you gave me to always speak politely to you right after you erased my memories. Your hypnosis skills are really amazing, aren’t they?]
-Don’t mention it. Since that was done by an outside contractor anyway, strictly speaking, it’s not my skill.
For the safety of the nation.
Moreover, I never thought that a genius individual would be reduced to this just because a very small number of powerful people are afraid.
Although it was not the creator’s intention, the device that ▒▒ was made to preserve as much flesh and organs as possible in order to reduce the loss of magical power from the original sorcerer.
As a result, the soul center of the creature was barely preserved.
Considering the technological capabilities of the Middle Ages, the fact that such a bio-machine was created is a miracle in itself.
-Is it because the ingredients were good?
[what?]
The person who implemented the modifications himself interpreted most of the issues that way.
The perfection of the green Alpha Urin reborn as a machine was unparalleled.
So, after the success of the first stuffed animal, we were so excited by the results that we boldly set out to create a new machine… … .
-Anyway, congratulations on realizing your discomfort on your own. But since your secret has been revealed, I have one thing I want to ask you.
What was the problem?
Apart from the immediate success stories, there aren’t many cases that can honestly be said to have fully adapted to mechanization.
The number of wizards with brains in tin cans up to the present day is around 300.
However, out of those 300 surgeries, 240 failed midway, and even the 60 magicians who managed to overcome the crisis and enter the steel safely suffered mental wear and tear at an unusually fast rate. Now, most of the machines are dead, and only 8 remain in the world.
Overall, the sorcerer’s mechanization has completely ridiculous stability.
-If you take mental endurance into account, you’re the only one who can truly be called a success.
This is a technology that started out of regret over the deaths of geniuses, but why do most golem-turned sorcerers not live long?
-No matter how much I think about it, I can’t figure out why. If I show you the core production process, maybe you can find the problem this time too?
[I see. Deungshin-ah.]
Even the miraculous technology called magic still has its limits.
The former magician, famous for his leatherworking, soon makes a fresh gesture.
The result is disappointing though.
Still, we decided to be satisfied with the fact that we had successfully preserved one of the greatest geniuses in history.
-hmm.
But the problem is that the storage conditions were very good. It is so unfortunate that such a variable appeared in the end.
-The device that was under perfect control suddenly started to recall the past.
What is the soul?
And what is the relationship between the autobiographical memory of a living thing and its soul?
A mechanized archmage who has recovered his own ego.
This was something that could not be explained, at least within Alphauri’s technology.
The concept of memory is not something that can be washed away with chemical solvents like alcohol or carbon dioxide, so in a way, it could be that this was a situation that was promised to explode someday as long as the original brain was intact.
Anyway.
[This is ridiculous. How could I have ended up like this because of a cheap researcher?]
-Calm down. ▒▒. Now that I’m your superior, please cut down on your informality… … .
[Shut up! You’re already losing all your flesh and you’re going crazy, where did you get the words to fall down, you damn bird@%#^$#… … .]
The green archmage couldn’t believe that he had been transformed by such a weakling without anyone knowing.
So, I was angry for a long time.
But surprisingly, the other person accepted this situation calmly.
-Your power was strong enough to defeat everyone, but I only needed to defeat you.
[Oh, right.]
-The height of the obstacles we had to overcome were different. Above all, at that time, I had an overwhelming number of colleagues. This was a natural result.
By the way, the colleagues that this scholar just mentioned are referring to the nobles of a certain country in the Middle Ages.
Some of those jingling things still live in the modern-day Alphauri seas.
Because while someone was living in a tin can, the world had already developed transcendent life magic.
[f*ck.]
furthermore…….
What if the person who created the technology related to life extension was none other than you?
▒▒ immediately started swearing.
The most important task of modern-day high-ranking magicians, called sorcerers, is the creation of new magic formulas.
The problem is that even though their giant ocean planet has orbited for over a hundred times, no genius has been born to replace the great heroes of the Middle Ages.
-Let’s think positively. Because we were terminalized, we actually gained knowledge that we can’t turn back. In a way, isn’t this a win-win for you?
The green wizard still holds the top spot even in this distant future.
At least in the field of magic, no one could surpass the Green Wizard’s level of understanding.
Therefore, as time went on, the rulers of this planet relied heavily on the performance of the First Magic Master, namely, his intelligence.
After teaching the golem all the information they had.
As if looking into a mirror from a fairy tale.
“Great magician, we want to build a more magnificent castle in the future, so please devise some new spells that we can use here.”
be easy.

Just type in a single command and the human-swallowing lump of metal will instantly do what you want.
Yes, that’s right.
The sudden advancement of magical science on this planet was due to the survival of a single wizard.
In just a short century, which could easily be counted with just six tentacles, they had come close to a technological singularity, all as a result of this old-world personality constantly producing new technologies.
Kang!
The Alpha Urin, who realized the truth, suddenly hit his own head with his tentacle.
But now, instead of the rustling noise, only a strange metallic sound echoed through the sea.
Moreover, there is no sense of touch at the extremities of the body.
[I lost my life and my memories, and I’ve been doing this for hundreds of years… …!]
It’s a given.
The Archmage, trapped in the cold machine, soon becomes violently angry.
And he tried to kill the person who performed the surgery on him.
[Aaah!]
But, unlike when he was in his prime and physically fit, revenge is not carried out as he wishes.
▒▒’s brain was already covered in dozens of layers of a new, sharply developed technique.
The planetary rulers had thoroughly sealed all the artificial magic masters.
Among them, there is also a curse that prevents one from realizing that one is a living being. The current situation in which the green war hero has regained his memories is beyond the expected range in many ways… … .
-Oh, no. You shouldn’t beat up your boss at work. That’s common sense.
Good luck until then.
The green archmage tried to kill the enemy in front of him several times, but ultimately failed to activate the spell due to all the restrictions swirling around in his head.
Moreover, escaping the status of a tin can seems distant due to fundamental limitations.
① All golems cannot use magic on the map layer.
② Also, self-harm and body (body) replacement attempts are prohibited.
③ Magic of level 5 or higher may only be activated with the consent of the administrator.
Just like the three principles of androids in any world, there are certain fundamental principles that cannot be broken when transplanting a personality into a golem.
[Arai.]
Even the most powerful wizards cannot easily dispel the evil that has gathered the technology of the entire planet.
Well then, how about using a workaround now?
[Oh, by the way, my main job was also to guide and punish criminals.]
So far, the planet has not restricted that part even for work reasons.
But now that his personality has returned and he can temporarily ignore his superior’s orders, he can touch all the Alpha Urinians except for a few targets in the premise.
[If you don’t accept my resignation, why don’t you just eliminate the reason for me to continue working?]
The archmage trapped in the golem immediately came to a dangerous idea.
He predicted that if he could eliminate the Alpha Urinians on this planet to near extinction, then no one would need the Artificial Magus Master any more.
Besides, power usually only shines when there is someone inferior to it.
This is something that the planetary ruling class would not want to happen, more than anything else.
[Bring me a fresh body right now, or I will lift these damn curses!]
The advent of the machine rebellion that everyone was worried about.
A being covered entirely in sand-colored stone, commonly used in modern golems, threateningly swings its tentacles.
The genius, who had transformed into a mere thinking machine, recognized his predicament and activated his magic, which did not require permission, in less than an hour.
He grabbed the planets that were caught in his senses and captured them in a temporary barrier, and threatened to crush and kill them all if they did not listen to his demands from now on.
This is why the green wizard easily falls into a state of doubt even after reincarnation.
He had a history of trying to kill others just to achieve his own goals.
I hesitated a bit because of my natural personality, but I almost did it anyway.
I had just realized that my heart, brain, spinal cord, etc. had been pulled out overnight and exploited for hundreds of years for the development of this planet. I was in a situation where I had no time to consider things like guilt.
-no!
But even those desperate struggles were eventually blocked by a pitiful enemy.
-Calm down. It may sound funny for me, the perpetrator, to say this directly, but you were already further modified during the process of being transferred to the core, so you can no longer return to your Alpha Uri body.
■▒ used the golem’s premise to quickly subdue the first magician.
If things were the same, it would have been impossible for such a weakling to stop a war hero.
The Archmage’s brain was already under new restrictions, so the outcome was completely reversed.
[Ugh… … .]
-Oh my, it’s hard.
Peace has finally arrived.
After a desperate attempt by the planetary rulers to seal him, the true Archmage is captured.
The Archmage’s side was furious for a while even though all six legs were pierced, but no matter how hard they tried, the moment they entered this shell, it was as good as finished for them.
Soon he too admits defeat.
[‘There is no answer.’]
The skull and golem skeleton are fundamentally different.
The former is an organ that mammals and others have developed to protect their organs, but the latter is more like a box or cabinet to contain genius, and has no mechanism to protect itself inside.
Honey, all of your weak points are literally peeled off, not metaphorically, and are in the enemy’s hands.
[My brain… … is now surrounded by watchers, not guardians… … .]
What a f*cking premise!
This side has no chance of winning, if only because of that golem code of conduct that says you can’t tear apart that twisted genius worshipper.
If you kill the planet’s inhabitants and cause trouble again, the rulers will soon come and place an even stronger spell on your head.
The excitement subsides.
[hmm.]
So let’s look for a new solution.
Since it has come to this, how about just enduring it and living with it?
[‘If you negotiate well, you might be able to increase the restrictions but still preserve your ego… … .’]
Living a life immersed in research.
Riding an advanced golem.
If I think about it, my current lifestyle is the life I wanted even during my prime.
Besides, having an inorganic device body certainly has its own unique strengths.
If you just come to your senses, you won’t die a natural death.
Only a few leaders with a lot of money have achieved longevity above average. Alphauri’s technology has not actually reached eternal life even in this distant future.
Even if the average planetary citizen simply changes their skin to look younger, irreversible damage will accumulate.
Moreover, the success rate of the newly developed body swap technique is virtually miserable.
therefore.
[‘Huh? Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to just enjoy living in immortality?’]
The Archmage also had this thought for a moment.
Well, there are countless aspects of that politics that I don’t like, like using fake beta adults to incite anxiety and using that as an excuse to extract taxes and dependency from the citizens.
Honestly, I don’t think there’s any choice here.
[‘For me, who has already come to this, enjoying the orders given to me is the best way. But he has managed the world in a way that does not kill the people under his care. Maybe he is not the worst leader…?’]
I briefly had hope that it might be okay to live a life watching over this world as a research/protection machine.
But, I repeat, his positive attitude did not last long.
And the reason is that the soul of a certain male Alpha Uri has been loudly announcing it even before it has succeeded in reincarnation.
In fact, the main setting of this story was that the planet was already ‘going to ruin’.
