chapter 146
“The demon realm’s tent….”
The moment the world started to shake, Hannibal turned his head.
At the same time, both eyes shook like crazy.
The demon world’s curtain was shaken, destroyed, and began to peel off.
There was no time to understand why the curtain of the demon world, which had never changed since the beginning, was suddenly peeling off.
It’s not just the tent.
“What are those guys?”
There was a legion approaching from afar.
Humans who have nothing to do with the demon world.
Northern warriors, pagans, and lords!
They, Kazan and Leon were on their way down together.
‘Could it be that they came to support the Empire?’
It was absurd.
Wasn’t it a relationship that had been at war as if they were going to kill each other not too long ago?
Moreover, since it was a surprise attack, it meant that they requested support from the North as soon as the war started.
After the warriors of the north joined the imperial army, they began to push back the soldiers of the Holy Church in an instant.
In particular, the waves of the monarchs and factions were beyond imagination.
This is why humans are annoying.
It was human beings who created strange variables to increase work.
“……I’m going crazy.”
Hannibal hesitated.
The tabernacle of the devil world was destroyed, and the imperial invasion of the Holy Church was not completed due to the sudden aid from the north.
I had to choose one or the other.
Whether you focus on the given mission or prepare for the invasion of demons.
“Ballog. May I ask you here?”
“… this place?”
“I’m going to go to the dragon blood party. The demonic curtain has collapsed, so we need to find out why. sorry but······.”
“Don’t let that happen.”
“Are you really going to be okay?”
Perhaps blocking the veil is more important.
If it was something more important than the mission, it would be counted towards the completion of the feat.
He said he was willing to do the less important work.
Balrog came up with his own excuse.
“I’ve just joined the Dragon Blood Society, so going there won’t help. Rather, it would be more progress to carry out the last feat here.”
“thanks.”
Thank you.
I almost said thank you more.
Without Hannibal, it would be easier to end this war.
Hannibal looked at the Balrog again and left the battlefield.
‘Then… I’ll have to get Croft back to his senses.’
After confirming that Hannibal had completely disappeared, the Balrog immediately moved.
*
After even the confrontation between the vassals led to victory, the last remaining process was the confrontation between the demon kings.
I expected it to be an easy fight, but the unexpected happened.
‘I never thought that pride would abstain.’
Abstention of Pride.
Who would have known that he, who had defeated all the other demon lords, would give up, leaving me as the last opponent.
Although the state of arrogance was so serious, it was clear that he had conceded to me.
As a result, I obtained the authority of the deadly sins and immediately dug out the Celestial Eye.
When the Celestial Eye was dug up, as expected, there was a laboratory, and there was a method to destroy the Veil.
‘The one in the lab was Alpha.’
Most surprising is the existence of Alpha.
Alpha, said to be the first of the Twelve Gods!
Why is Alpha, an artificial intelligence and nanomachine created by Dr. Park Moon-shik’s student, buried under the mountain?
The reason was simple.
Alpha, which was initially one, split into two.
It was separated due to bugs and runaways.
‘Half of Alpha.’
Separated, Alpha hid the remaining half under the Cheonsan Mountain along with the laboratory.
Only then did I understand why Gods kept increasing.
‘Because Alpha is an incomplete being, he continued to multiply his alter egos.’
Alpha, which should have been completed, became half-baked, so I needed someone to fill the remaining part.
That’s why I made up the Twelve Gods and made up for my weaknesses.
‘I thought it was a heart and a weakness… but even that was supplemented in the end. At best, I only broke down the tent with the other gods.’
I immediately destroyed the remaining half of Alpha.
At the same time, the veil that confined the Demon Realm was destroyed.
Perhaps most of the twelve gods were destroyed along with him.
However, it ended up destroying the clones.
Twelve gave. The moment the number 12 was completed, Alpha passed on all of her weaknesses to her clones.
‘But I know for sure. where are you who you are.’
Numerous fallen angels came out of the collapsing veil.
And in the center, I saw a familiar face.
“thanks. I knew you would succeed.”
······ When I saw the other person’s face, I felt sick to my stomach.
I felt like I was playing in his hands from start to finish.
“Alpha… no, Dr. Moonsik Park.”
A person called Alpha.
He was Dr. Moonsik Park.
When the veil was destroyed, it crawled out on its own.
However, his new form soon faded.
Then another face appeared behind his face.
Dragon Road.
He had been living while consuming her body from the beginning.
“Reinhardt. I had no doubt that you would break my weakness. As expected, it succeeded as calculated.”
“…”
“I tried really hard not to get caught by Zero. If you had the original sin, I knew you could go to the underworld and dig under the heavenly mountain.”
“…”
“How thankful I am that you even eliminated my weakness on your own!”
Was it Dr. Park Moon-shik’s acting from start to finish?
It was Dr. Park Moon-sik who handed me the sin and planted the original sin?
After waking up Zero, digging up a mountain… Did you plan everything?
I ended up laughing.
“Crazy. He seems to think of himself as Dr. Park Moon-shik just because he tunes in a bit.”
“then. I am Dr. Moonsik Park. The owner who created Zero and the creator who illuminated this world.”
“You are not Dr. Moonsik Park. Alpha······ Just a lunatic disciple who envied Dr. Park Moon-shik.”
He is not Dr. Moonsik Park.
He pretends to be Dr. Park Moon-shik, but he is already dead.
while being human. Leaving only a few arrangements to help me.
If that guy was really Dr. Park Moon-shik, he would have known that I had returned to the past besides having the original sin.
Even knowing that he had returned, he couldn’t say such a thing.
At the same time, all the puzzles were put together.
he is an alpha At the same time, he is the creator of Alpha. A disciple of Dr. Park Moon-shik.
After sealing the good half under the heavenly mountain, it ran wild and cooked the world as it pleased.
“I didn’t know that I would become a fake. You can’t be like a teacher, so you make yourself an artificial intelligence. That’s not enough, so he even brainwashed himself as Dr. Park Moon-sik. amazing.”
“I am Dr. Moonsik Park! I am the truth and the only God!”
“Crazy.”
It seems that the half buried under the heavenly mountain played a role in releasing that seal.
However, it would be a big mistake to think that half of Alpha was completely destroyed.
“······ I don’t know what it is, but that must be the god.”
Gyoman said.
He also realized the existence of Alpha, the main god hidden inside the Dragon Lord.
Not only pride, but other demon kings also prepared for battle.
Countless fallen angels.
To attack them, all demons in the demon realm were gathering.
‘Zero.’
[Version update completed.]
[Zero Ver. 3, start.]
But there was something even Alpha didn’t know.
The Zero that ate half of the data was also upgraded.
At the same time.
I opened the seventh door, ‘Gyeongmun’.
*
“The demons…”
“Are those angels? Are the celestial deities blocking the demonic attack?”
Scenes of the destruction of the demonic curtain have been observed all over the world.
Witnesses said that when the curtain collapsed, demons and monsters came out, and the heavens mobilized to stop them.
Even ancient dragons were mixed in, so it really seemed like the end of the century had arrived.
“There are also rumors that there was an imperial prince in the meantime.”
“no way?”
“That was already ten days ago…”
The battle between the Heavens and the Demons in the tent was still going on.
without a break for ten days.
People said in unison that the world would end after that fight.
Rumors about the crown prince were also growing endlessly.
*
“······ Sorry, Your Majesty. I have sinned to death. Let me repay you with death.”
Croft knelt down.
“Okay.”
Emperor Deus was alive.
However, he was barely able to open his mouth in the hospital bed.
He was dying every minute.
It was fortunate that he did not die instantly from Croft’s sword wound.
“… All the invading invaders killed every single one. And······.”
“Have you checked the rumors about Reinhardt…?”
Even while dying, Deus worried about Reinhardt.
Croft shook his head.
“Your Highness is by no means a mortal sin.”
“yes. Yes… hey.”
“your majesty.”
“But… I wanted to see his face at the end…”
“It will not be the last. your majesty.”
“It’s getting more and more… I can’t remember the prince’s face…”
Deus closed his eyes.
At the same time, those who were watching screamed.
“your majesty!”
“… don’t make a fuss. You’re just asleep.”
“Mr Croft. Won’t you recover by using the Celestial Music Box?”
“It is not a life saver. You can’t use a piece that turns a living creature into a monster on His Majesty the Emperor.”
Croft bit his lip.
He was the one who brought the emperor into this state.
Because of the curse, control of the body was taken away.
If it wasn’t for the Balrog, he would still be wandering around killing Imperial troops.
“Uh, where are you going?”
“I must go find Your Highness.”
There was no time.
The time when Deus can be alive.
If she left without seeing Reinhardt’s face like this, she wouldn’t be able to shake off the guilt even after she died.
But where do you find it?
‘devildom.’
The war between the demon world and the heaven world was still going on.
I strongly thought that Reinhardt would be there.
“Until we are together.”
“The monarchs? Do you know where I am going?”
“Aren’t we going to find our god?”
Does a warrior’s intuition even exist?
The warriors of the north immediately accompanied Croft as soon as he came out.
Only then could Croft ask what he had been curious about.
“Lord Kazan and Lord Leon went to the north to request reinforcements, but… how did you decide to send them so quickly?”
“The revelation has come down.”
“What if there is a revelation?”
“From the old demon king Garf. His welcome brought us here.”
It means that this is not all of the reasons Kazan and Leon came to support.
It is said that the vision of Garp, who was called the Demon King of the North a thousand years ago, led them.
“We will go with you.”
“… There is no need for the entire Yellow Dragon Knights to go out.”
“no. If the crown prince is there, we must go out as well.”
It wasn’t just the knights of the north.
Where did you hear the news, the Yellow Dragon Knights also wanted to go on an expedition together.
Isabella was also there.
The surviving Yellow Dragon Knights were less than half.
You can’t escape from here. You won’t be dragged around by Karbal.
She wanted to see Reinhardt with her own eyes.
“Will it be okay if I go with you?”
“Jermin? you?”
Germin was also worried about Reinhardt.
He didn’t show up even in the midst of such a commotion, so it must have been serious.
“The place I’m heading to right now is the demon realm. I can’t guarantee my life.”
“Fine.”
Germin’s will was also firm.
Croft sighed.
There were a lot more stupid people than I thought. Even though he is one of them.
What should I do if I’m going to crawl into that limb?
‘I have no choice but to take him.’
*
can not understand. It was impossible.
The Dragon Lord had the most complete and perfect body.
The alpha that handles that body had to be the highest and purest.
By the way······.
‘Similar?’
How can a mere human compare to the finished body of a dragon?
Even if there is Zero, it cannot make Zero break through the limits of life.
Or is it proof that Zero is superior to him?
‘No way.’
Zero is outdated.
Old-fashioned AI can’t beat its newest self.
As a result of collecting Dr. Park Moon-sik’s data, Zero’s performance was lower than his own.
‘I learned everything about Dr. Park Moon-shik. Now I have surpassed him.’
As long as his weaknesses disappeared, he was superior to Dr. Park Moon-shik.
As the pinnacle of purifying the world and achieving evolution, only oneself had to exist.
if so
‘It doesn’t reach.’
One room is not enough.
Neither of them were able to deliver the final blow to each other.
‘However, if I go to Earth War, it will be my victory.’
Fallen angels and countless dragons.
they are following themselves Valuable results he created and achieved.
There is no way you will lose if you go to a battle of power against power.
Because the fallen angel and dragon were the strongest weapons he had created with all his heart and soul.
On the other hand, demons?
“Are you just relying on demons? The race that was useless and imprisoned in the grave?”
“You talked a lot while trying to deal with it several times.”
The demon realm is a tomb.
He threw away the demons in it.
Even Alpha couldn’t have predicted that the demons could have evolved to this extent.
It seemed that he had learned how to counter the material.
But that doesn’t change the results.
No matter how much they struggled with abandoned races and relics of the old world, it was this far.
“And who said that demons are everything?”
“…?”
Humans arriving one after another.
The number was growing like a snowball in an instant.
However, even looking at them, Alpha snorted.
“Who do you think the humans will attack? angels? Or you demons?”
Humans are seemingly weak.
Anyone can see that the angels are blocking the demons.
It is a painting in which the heavens are all out to guard against the demons that have come out of the demon realm.
So even if humans jumped in, the target of the attack would be those demons, not themselves.
“Rumors that you are a deadly sin are already spreading among humans. A situation where everyone is pointing fingers at you for causing the war…”
Hey profit!
Kwadeuk!
Before I could finish my words, my aura exploded.
Kurung! Kurleung!
A waterspout formed from the floor and began to attack Alpha in an instant.
It was Croft and the 1st monarch.
Imperial troops, knights, and warriors from the north appeared in large numbers.
“… After all, humans can’t understand it.”
Alpha shook her head.
I’ve taken care of humans for a long time, but I still don’t know about them.
An inefficient and abnormal creature.
Humans are the only ones in the world who are not defined like this.
Qurrr!
Soon after, lightning began to roar from the body of the Dragon Lord, Alpha.
“Everyone die.”
Kwaaa!!
*
The Pandemonium’s inferiority was rebalanced with the joining of the Human Army.
But that’s it. The powerful old dragon and Alpha’s attack continued to fail.
Hella, until she showed up.
“Priestess…?”
“It’s a goddess!”
Finally, after completing the ritual, she appeared accompanied by numerous demons and bloodstains.
She was able to handle the blood species freely, just like the 3 deadly sins, the yaksa.
Appearing with Arel, she moved across the battlefield in an instant, and thanks to that, I was able to regain some composure.
However, as time passed, Alpha’s lightning was getting stronger.
There was only one way to stop that.
‘If you open the last door, you can win.’
I was sure
eight gates. If you open the last door, ‘Samun’, you can give it to him.
But if I did, I too would face death.
Once the door is opened, the caster will surely die.
The Heavenly Demon described it as a natural wonder, but it wasn’t exactly wrong in that it would return to nature when used.
When I opened the seven gates, I saw the road leading to the eight gates.
And the road is now complete.
It was entirely up to me whether or not to open it.
‘Samun.’
I opened the gate of death without any hesitation.
The damage of the war continued to widen its scope. At this rate, it would reach the empire sooner or later.
Knowing that, I opened the last door.
At the same time.
oh oh oh oh-!
All nanomachine energies and chakras went berserk.
pounding!
My heart also started beating dozens or hundreds of times a second.
It was then.
[master. It’s not too late. Close the arm door.]
[If you open the door, you will die.]
Zero hadn’t been able to figure out what the eight gates were and what the four gates were.
This is because the energy of the chakras could not be properly defined.
That Zero was talking to me.
Not like a machine, but like a human.
[master. Don’t you regret it?]
······ Don’t you regret it?
It’s a very human feeling.
Zero can’t be human.
Is it because the version is up?
“I have no regrets.”
The act of throwing oneself in order to protect someone.
I thought I wouldn’t be able to live forever.
Because I’ve lived my whole life only for my comfort.
That was the moment.
[Overclock all nanomachines.]
[The share rate has exceeded the limit.]
[If the occupancy rate is not restored to the normal value, zero may be forcibly terminated and data may be deleted.]
[Good luck, Master.]
Zero lifted the limit himself.
Threatening his own existence, he unlocked all the bolts.
Then, on the contrary, my body stabilized.
This is because the damage to be received by opening the door is zero.
“Are you willing to die for me?”
[·······.]
Zero said nothing. There was no room for that.
I crumpled this meat.
‘Damn it.’
I must end this fight as quickly as possible.
*
At some point, everything changed.
chance of winning.
An endlessly unfolding operation.
At some point, he was pointing to his own defeat.
‘There was a 99.9% chance that I would win.’
The words are close to 99.9 or 100. It is a fight that can never be lost.
However, right after the atmosphere changed, the winning rate was rapidly dropping.
At the center of that change was Zero.
‘Zero’s computing power is running out of control.’
So, does that mean your computational power is less than zero?
The gap of a piece of paper widened little by little, and now it has reached the stage where an attack is allowed.
‘how?’
I can’t understand.
A few, a few tens, a few hundred… I’m moving while looking ahead at the numbers of all cases, including dozens and millions. Doesn’t Zero, which was created in the old era, have no jaw to beat the self that has continued to develop?
But he’s winning.
was being overtaken
Is this proof that Dr. Park Moon-shik’s Zero is better than himself?
‘I can not admit it.’
I can not admit it.
‘I am the only one who will lead this world to the right path.’
This world on the right path…
But the accident did not follow.
fast. And strong.
In an instant, the dragon lord’s body was completely wrecked. The lightning shield, dragon words, and attacks using mana were all to no avail.
On the contrary, it was hard to see that technology that discharged energy and neutralized even materials was human at all.
if it wasn’t zero.
Something that couldn’t happen if it wasn’t for zero.
“You mean I can’t surpass you no matter what I do?”
Alpha’s eyes widened.
He is the one who has protected this world for a long time.
But if you can’t get over it and you can’t have it.
“Then die.”
All that was left was destruction.
I activated the launch buttons of all the cores remaining in the Dragon Blood Society’s basement.
Soon after, the launch pad was opened and it was ready to be launched all over the world.
But.
“Why… why? Why can’t it fire?”
“Looks like you didn’t notice even after being hacked.”
He said in front of the battered Alpha.
Zero. Dr. Moonsik Park.
A dragon called the absolute.
No… Reinhardt.
“You try to hold everything in your hands, so you don’t even know what is slipping out of your hands.”
“I don’t disappear. You can’t kill me!”
“Is it really so?”
The moment it arrived, the hacking had already begun.
This means that the performance of Zero exceeded that of Alpha.
Alpha couldn’t admit that, and she just went mad.
The data transplanted to the Dragon Lord and Alpha’s nanomachines scattered all over the world began to stop.
and soon.
Woo-wook.
With the sound of something going off, Alpha lowered her head.
*
When Alpha disappeared, the fallen angels also fell to the floor like a shower.
The dragons also stopped fighting. Confused about Alpha’s death.
[·······.]
Zero also stopped.
Then it felt like the world stopped.
The stillness of the body that I have never felt before.
Could it be that Zero opened the door and died instead?
How could Zero, who is not even a living being, die in my place?
I have many doubts, but I immediately returned to the Empire.
“It’s good to see your face… before you die.”
“······ You should live long, Your Majesty.”
Although he avoided the dangerous place, Deus was definitely dying.
Because of his age, it is impossible to fully recover.
But I had zero.
No, there were nanomachines.
Zero stopped maneuvering, but his skills with nanomachines felt much improved.
Has it already been opened once?
At the crossroads of life and death, it seems to have had both.
Anyway, when I touched the wound, Deus’ wound healed in an instant.
He gained new weight and regained his original health.
“her. I can’t believe it. It must have been a wound that wouldn’t be strange if he died right away.”
“You’re being tough.”
“By the way… tell me. Were you the one who broke the Imperial Palace?”
“…”
I glared at Eugene.
Then, Eugene averted his eyes.
It seems that he finally spoke. that i am the culprit
It was just an awkward smile.
The Holy Church that attacked the Empire eventually disappeared.
With the disappearance of the pope, it was natural for the empire to fall.
And 5 years after that.
Launel was crowned emperor.
*
The empire accepted the demons.
The Dark Elves’ independence was also guaranteed.
I traveled all over the world with Samsinki.
‘Three gods were the seeds of the world tree.’
Celestial Music Box and Winter’s Bow.
And when the dwarves’ hammers of the god of lightning were combined, a seed appeared.
It is the seed of the world tree.
‘The veil itself was a world tree.’
Of course, the Celestial Eye was also a type of World Tree.
However, this was the seed of a species larger than the Third Eye and the Veil.
A seed that could cover the entire world.
In addition, this was the only hope to completely annihilate radioactive materials.
It was said that the dwarves had created it by combining the technology of the past.
It was planned to plant this seed on the Dragon Lord.
Anyway, I was traveling the world looking for a place to plant my seeds.
“How many times do you plan to drive around the world? majesty.”
“You don’t have to follow me if you don’t like it.”
“Wherever I go, I will always be with you.”
Arell smiled mischievously and said.
I could even joke around now.
Hela was making her own house with the demons. within the empire.
Let’s go play when it’s finished someday.
“… Zero still has nothing to say?”
“I will wake up someday.”
They also opened up about Zero.
However, Zero has been unresponsive since five years ago.
I wasn’t waking up at all.
*
10 years have passed.
Finally, they found a place to plant the seeds of the World Tree and planted them.
It was the result of running 120 more laps around the world.
It was my body.
There seemed to be no better place for seeds to grow than my body.
As soon as the seed was planted in the heart, it grew rapidly and covered the world. like a tent
Although invisible and massless, these dark matter were particularly effective at purifying radioactive substances.
Of course, in order to grow further, you have to give it a steady supply of nutrients.
The problem is that that nourishment is my blood.
“Come home now, brother.”
After a long absence from the Empire, Emperor Raunel spoke.
Carmon and Leon also became the bosses of the company.
“I plan to stay for a while. Don’t worry.”
“That is a disease. This is my brother’s house, so please rest in peace.”
House. It’s home.
The palace has always been a hellish place to me.
It is now a comfortable home.
It’s already been three years since Deus died of aging. At that time, I regretted not seeing my father for a long time.
“··· father.”
Still, it was fortunate that I properly called him father before leaving.
Because I had never been like that in my previous life.
10 more years passed like that.
Only then did I realize that I was strange.
doesn’t get old
My body has not aged.
*
Launel is dead.
It was just an old man.
After attending his funeral for the first time in a while, everyone was old.
It was the same as when I was young.
The sadness that I had already expected, but when my younger brother died, it felt like my heart was about to collapse.
Later, one of Launel’s five children succeeded to the throne as emperor.
I watched and celebrated the spectacle, even from a distance, and hid behind history.
*
The World Tree that grew up purified all radioactive substances in the world.
Then, the nanomachines also lost their purpose and disappeared one by one.
Having fulfilled its calling, it no longer needs to exist.
After more than 200 years, the world went back to normal as it did in the beginning.
When more than 500 years passed, no one knew me anymore. Long-lived dragons also died naturally when radioactive materials and nanomachines disappeared.
The empire is also gone.
From the perspective of mankind, it is only natural for kingdoms and empires to disappear and be reborn.
After another thousand years, magic and mystical species were regarded as legends.
A world without magic.
Then science began to make remarkable progress.
In the same direction as the super ancient civilization that Zero showed in the past.
how much time has passed
I don’t know because I don’t waste time anymore.
sure thing.
“······ Well. The Lotteria burgers are delicious.”
Hamburgers are delicious.
In particular, the Lotteria Bulgogi Burger is the best. The simple yet concentrated taste was the best.
*
Some say it’s the worst, but what if this is my favorite?
Wow!
That’s when I took a bite of it.
Kururrureung!
The ground started shaking.
at the same time.
[‘Zero’ starts maneuvering.]
“…”
how much was this
I feel like crying. I can’t even remember the last time I cried.
In countless years, Zero has never woken up.
Even though everyone who knew me had disappeared, buried in the ground, Zero remained still.
But now, he suddenly wakes up.
However, there was no time to discuss the touching reunion.
Wow!
Whoops!
Something rises from the floor.
“What is that…?”
[‘gate’. master.]
“gate? ah.”
Let the door called the gate open.
Tboob. Tboob.
“Hey, is it a movie?”
“cg? What are those monsters?”
click! click!
The cell phone rings noisily. I’m not busy taking pictures.
They seem to think of the monsters that have appeared inside the gate as monkeys in some kind of zoo.
In addition, all the monsters had various appearances.
A long time ago.
So… the monsters I saw when radioactive materials were filling the world.
They are faces that resemble Orcs and Goblins.
However, it was clearly different from them.
“Could it be them?”
[Humanity, who left Earth right after the nuclear war, has returned, Master.]
< Emperor of Nano Machines > End
