Nanomachine Emperor

The White Silver Demon King.

The first ordeal that appeared after I ascended the throne.

The indiscriminate slaughter of the demon king began with the freezing of the ‘Rigellung River’, which was called the lifeline of the empire.

My entire body froze just by making eye contact with the silver demon king, and the magic towers were also in a frenzy at the occurrence of a strange person who used magic with an incantation window.

Is it only

It rained down sharp ice, causing damage to the vast territory.

Following the incident in which the Countess of Gilija was razed to the ground in just one day, people began to call her the ‘Silver Demon King’.

And just as the number of casualties exceeded 200,000, Malfiel appeared and killed the silver demon king.

He fought for three days and three nights and finally cut off his head.

‘The first time Malfiel appeared was while accomplishing the sixth feat.’

A feat is like a request from God.

If you fulfill the twelve requests, you will have god-like power, but each feat is accomplished with adversity and hardship beyond human imagination.

Although the contents of the achievements are different, they all have one thing in common: they are in the realm of ‘impossible’.

Having achieved as many as six such things, there was no rival.

Even at the time of his appearance, opinions were divided about whether he had really achieved the six feats, but since he himself said so and was insanely strong, it was already established that there would be no opponent in a 1:1 ratio.

In such a situation, since he single-handedly defeated the silver demon king, it is only natural that Malfiel’s full-fledged ‘hero’ move would stand out.

People were enthusiastic about the death of the demon king and Malfiel’s heroic deeds and idolized him.

All the kingdoms hoped to subdue him, and even the Sacred Church helped publicize it extensively.

‘It was an ideal situation for a seed of interest.’

Of course I called too.

It’s because I was curious about how proud he was that his name hurt his ears like this.

Although it was rejected with a single knife.

‘The silver demon king was Edith’s granddaughter…’

The demon king fought for three days and nights with Malfiel, who was so strong that he had no opponent since his appearance. The demon king was right in front of me.

However, apparently after the death of her granddaughter, Edith gave up her position as the head of the Mage Tower.

‘Actually, he wasn’t dead. They tried to save it by any means and methods.’

I changed my mind.

To save her granddaughter, she gave up her honor to focus more.

It was a choice that Edith could have made.

However, I still don’t know why she became the Demon King.

If Edith had saved her life, the two of them would have lived happily ever after.

[A large number of runaway unauthorized nanomachines have been detected.]

More than anything, I was genuinely surprised.

It was overwhelmingly more than the amount of unauthorized nanomachines seen in other ‘runaway’ phenomena.

‘Ten times. No, more than that.’

It seemed to be ten times more than Edith’s runaway nanomachines that had reached Circle 8.

I was speechless at the overwhelming sight.

How is a body that should have exploded or died in the first place maintained?

[Identified a strong virus agent.]

[caution. A powerful ‘psionic’ energy has been detected.]

I could guess what the reason was.

A red vein-like line extending from the heart.

Like a marionette connected by thread, that red line held her body together so that it would not disintegrate.

“My granddaughter was researching the Philosopher’s Stone.”

“You mean those alchemists’ absurd lies?”

I laughed at Edith’s words.

Alchemists are illusory swindlers.

They extorted money from research by saying that stones could be made into gold, or that the dead could be revived by making a legendary elixir.

The most absurd of these is the Philosopher’s Stone.

It is the ultimate goal of an alchemist, and it is a stone with the property of being able to change into ‘everything’.

The Empire’s finances are plentiful, so we are providing support, but the cost that will be eliminated immediately when I ascend the throne is the support cost for those scammers.

But Edith put the name in her mouth.

Edith nodded as if agreeing with my opinion to a certain extent.

“Yes, alchemy is more of a scam. Most of the cases are magically processed and packaged in a plausible way. However, my granddaughter’s alchemy was different.”

He had a sad expression on his face.

different.

Certainly, the results you see before your eyes are nothing compared to other scammers.

It’s such a thing that even Zero gives a warning.

‘I don’t know if that’s the real Philosopher’s Stone.’

It was clear that something had been created.

Possibly a substance that does not exist in this world.

It must be threatening enough to be selected as the target of a feat bestowed by the gods.

“I don’t think it will be easy. If it’s hard, I won’t resent you if you don’t. It is a miracle that my granddaughter is alive.”

It is enough that you have come this far.

Edith was saying that.

“I have a bad feeling about it.”

So did Croft.

His senses were at a level where he could detect even invisible mana.

As much as Zero cautioned, it would be better to be careful.

“majesty!”

“ah!”

Ignoring the exclamations around me, I boldly took my hand.

The cold sensation felt in the pillar of ice.

At the same time, runaway nanomachines started attacking me.

[warning! The invasion of unauthorized nanomachines continues.]

[It is a nano machine with a powerful virus factor!]

[The generation of psionic energy is expanding!]

blurred vision

The feeling of going out of your mind.

I was very used to this feeling.

‘Insanity.’

when madness strikes.

The beggarly feeling I always felt when ‘another me’ popped up.

When mad, I always couldn’t control myself.

It made me let go of everything along with the pain of blacking out.

‘go away.’

However, I no longer accept this.

my body is mine

My choice and my will had to be completely mine.

So go away.

[Instantaneous concurrent active area of the brain has exploded by 25%.]

[The psionic energy is being neutralized.]

[Combine with viral factor…]

[·······.]

Time has stopped.

The ice broke, and she walked out of it.

After stroking my stopped chin, she spoke.

“Awesome. Humans should be normal when they can’t stand my energy.”

psionic energy.

madness as a result.

I was talking about the phenomenon that I almost let myself go.

“What is in your head is very interesting. It is not in the ‘Library of Truth’ I have.”

I finally found out what she was.

It is the philosopher’s stone.

The Philosopher’s Stone, in harmony with the woman’s heart, appeared with will.

“Something out of this world. For cleaning things that shouldn’t exist, you too will be selected as a ‘feat’ of the gods. It seems we are in a similar situation.”

Its end is destruction.

I gave strength to my whole body, but it doesn’t move.

No matter how hard I tried to move, I couldn’t budge.

“Don’t struggle. ‘Cause I can’t move anyway I have no intention of harming you…”

“Do you think you and I are the same?”

“I was really surprised. How can you only move your mouth?”

because the moon was visible.

The moon I saw when I ‘recreated’ Croft’s movements.

It was because it looked like a philosopher’s stone.

So, without hesitation, I reached out my hand.

A phenomenon experienced once.

I was surprised.

Eventually, the mouth, hands, feet, and all of the body returned to normal.

Her eyes went wide open.

“A human who breaks through the immovable realm…! Are you a monster, are you?”

floating area.

The resting place of the soul mentioned by the spirit Caliburn.

Then, is she also an AI?

I am against anything that oppresses my freedom.

Because I didn’t want to live a life where I couldn’t move by my will anymore.

That will was an ego that even God could not do anything about.

I couldn’t succumb to AI.

“Don’t make fun of a made-up topic.”

“That is a funny word. made It’s not wrong, but it’s not right either.”

she smiled and continued.

“I am Baal. A spirit creature dwelling in the Philosopher’s Stone. At the same time, I am also the owner of this body.”

“Are you parasitic?”

“I made an agreement. To live. to save. The two decided to become one.”

They made an agreement with each other to maintain life.

Had it not been for Baal, Edith would have died despite her efforts.

That figure now meant ‘The Demon King of White Silver’.

The demon king of cruelty who cursed all life and committed massacres!

“······ You’re contemplating whether to get rid of me or not.”

Baal, who saw his eyes, was the flagship.

It has to be.

the world of unknown. When faced with a mystery, humans tend to feel fear.

It is normal not to think of ‘removing’ the mystery.

I can’t get rid of it, and I can’t even afford to.

But the man in front of me was different.

Not surprised. There is no fear whatsoever.

The author sincerely thought that he could get rid of himself.

‘Epics with a will have a hierarchy, isn’t it?’

Epic.

A thing with a will.

A mystery that shouldn’t exist in this world.

She too was one of those mysteries.

And the mysteries in that man’s head were definitely beyond his understanding.

Even though it hasn’t been shown in its entirety yet, it has broken through her immobility.

In addition, according to the user’s will, it shows the movement to be fused and removed.

There was no crazy person.

It was clear that he lacked even basic courtesy between the mysteries.

Mysteries not listed in the Library of Truth. It’s definitely one of the ‘primeval epics’, but I couldn’t understand why something like that was still circulating among the public.

‘I was going to say hello.’

That’s why Epic called them into their own world, just to make a name for each other.

However, Epic did not appear and the user was replacing the will.

‘Even more so, that man wasn’t eaten by a mystery…’

Ordinary epics, like themselves, are attuned to the mind of the user.

It’s fortunate that they are harmonized, and they dominate by eating most of them.

However, the man in front of me didn’t seem to have been fused with the mystery or eaten.

On the contrary, it completely dominates Epic.

Is that possible?

If it’s an Epic from the beginning, it’s more self-willed.

The stronger the epic, the bigger the will. Because he did too.

“Is there any reason not to get rid of you?”

“If I die, this child will die too. To be precise, it will be alive, but it will be no different from a corpse that has lost reason.”

“If that’s all there is to it, I’ll have to get rid of it.”

He was a man without blood or tears.

Didn’t you come to save this body?

Baal had a different idea.

“I will give you a present.”

Let’s make this mysterious human an ally.

It might be useful later if you build a relationship with the ancient Epic.

There may be a lot of progress in improving one’s ‘self-will’.

In my heart, I want to sign a contract with the owner of this body, but that Epic couldn’t stand still.

He will move to eliminate himself before the contract is even activated.

Or make the contract itself null and void.

“What is your name?”

“It’s Reinhardt.”

“Okay, Reinhardt. Please accept the mana of this runaway child. This magical power is a mixture of my authority. This will give you great strength.”

Dooung.

At that moment, the world began to shake with great waves.

The feeling that the world is sinking.

When I came to my senses soon after, it was after she had disappeared before my eyes.

No, it was the same as being trapped in a pillar of ice.

It is not a hallucination or illusion.

‘Floating area.’

I was only in the immobile realm of Baal.

It was only that the realm was broken and returned to reality.

Kwajik!

Kwajijik!

It was a moment.

An enormous amount of nanomachines flowed in, and with it, the ice pillars began to crack and fall.

“ah······!”

“Your Highness, are you okay?”

Croft and Germine took care of me.

Edith, on the other hand, ran with all her might to catch the falling woman.

After accepting her granddaughter, Edith couldn’t help but flinch.

“Kachel. Oh, Kaichel!”

With tears in his eyes, he began to sob.

Kaichel’s frozen body was moving.

After a while, Kaichel slowly opened her eyes.

“grandfather······?”

“yes. Edith’s grandfather Do you understand?”

“Hey, where is this place?”

“Don’t move yet. It will take time for your body to recover…!”

Edith expressed that emotion with her whole body.

However, he didn’t seem to know either.

That Kaichel’s actions right now are actually caused by Baal.

Baal was acting now.

It’s the acting of the weak Kaichel.

[Has dominated all ‘unlicensed nanomachines’.]

[The administrator’s authority will be upgraded to level 5.]

[The unlicensed nanomachines that rule have ‘psionic energy’.]

psionic energy.

It was a gift from Baal.

As soon as I got it, I seemed to know how to use it.

‘her!’

At the same time I was thrilled.

A sensation I hadn’t felt even when I conquered half of the continent.

More joy enveloped me.
