Nanomachine Emperor

chapter 26



Anyone who can see the strong fight will pay.

If only they could see the life and death of the strong, it would be overflowing with people who wanted to see it in their eyes even if it cost a million dollars.

And if there was something that could ‘replay’ the fights of the strong men when they wanted to see them, there would be an abundance of nobles who would dedicate the entire castle to them.

But beyond simple reproduction, can we reproduce the motion and even experience the senses?

‘It’s a treasure among treasures.’

I can assure you that even if I bring all the treasures in the imperial palace secret store, I will not be able to achieve this one skill.

No, no treasure in the world is inaccessible.

Goo oh-.

Croft’s aura was rising from his body like the blazing sun.

[The simultaneous active area of the brain is 18% activated.]

If time hadn’t slowed down by activating the brain, it was so fast that I couldn’t even see it with my two eyes.

It can be activated up to 25%, but if the area is widened to the maximum, it only lasts for a few seconds with the feeling that the brain will burn.

18% was suitable for keeping it in the eye for a long time.

[The simultaneous active area of the brain is 18% activated.]

Every time aura collided with another, space itself was bent.

If time hadn’t slowed down by activating the brain, it was so fast that I couldn’t even see it with my two eyes.

A confrontation between the swordsman who was called the strongest and the active sword master.

It can be activated up to 25%, but if the area is widened to the maximum, it only lasts for a few seconds with the feeling that the brain will burn.

It is a sight that is hard to see easily even in the midst of war.

18% was suitable for keeping it in the eye for a long time.

Not just to see.

Kwap!

Because of Zero, I was recording all those videos.

Chow ah!

It was to grasp not only Croft’s movements, but also the opponent’s sword master’s movements in detail.

‘That’s amazing.’

20 sum.

The total number of times it took Croft’s sword to blow off Patrick’s head.

Patrick was a skilled swordsman among the sword masters under Archduke Carlos. That’s why he was knocked out by Croft in only 20 moves.

‘Not all sword masters are the same.’

The standard of ‘strength’ measured by mankind.

Unlike magicians, humans lacked a way to measure beyond simply producing auras in the case of swordsmen.

In particular, there was no way to measure a ‘non-standard’ human like Croft.

“Sah, save me!”

“Keah!”

Kwak!

Aww!

One side got upset.

The size of the ice golem, which was distracting, was crushing the soldiers and knights.

Edith. He was a battle mage who could forge golems using ice.

Controlled mana in the center of the ice golem and overpowered it.

In an instant, things were being sorted out.

Pagan, who was most concerned, also won the victory by biting Crow’s neck.

‘great.’

After watching all of them, I gave a general review.

I would dare to rate it as a 100-point battle.

“You are at peace.”

“Who said that? The most fun thing in the world is watching a fight.”

I shrugged my shoulders at Kaichel’s question.

I had done my job by cutting off Thebeus’ head and alerting the two sword masters.

In fact, in the case of Crow, he was somewhat negligent in grasping the movement of the waves because he was wary of the infinite spear magic that could fly from anywhere.

“How long are you going to keep acting as Kaichel?”

I asked.

Then Kaichel, no, Baal answered while looking at Edith on the battlefield.

“I made a contract. I will live as Caicello until this child’s grandfather dies.”

“So what are you going to do after that?”

“I do not know. Shall we explore the human world? Or are you married to him? Oh, and I think Kaichel will like this too. Seeing that you like it for some reason, it could be Kaichel’s taste?”

Not to explore the human world, but to annihilate mankind, she becomes a white-silver demon.

However, this is a later story.

Right now, I didn’t show any emotion like hating humanity.

“Talk about a feat.”

Chit. She explained with a voice.

“······ The gods have a repulsion towards ‘abnormal beings’. Like you and me? That’s why I’m trying to get rid of it in the name of ‘feat’.”

Malfiel’s seventh feat.

It was to eliminate the white-silver demon king.

‘I can also be the target of a feat…’

In other words, I don’t know when or where Malfiel will come and slit my throat.

The reunion with him may come sooner than expected.

Or, a third feat achieved by an unexpected person appears.

“Don’t worry too much. As long as you don’t do anything conspicuous, you won’t know.”

“What specifically does it mean to stand out?”

“Any act of defying God.”

challenge god

If so, it meant that the white-silver Demon King did not slaughter mankind, but became the target of a ‘feat’ by trying to challenge the gods.

It’s not just about fighting God.

It must mean the act itself to invade the realm of God.

‘Did they try to revive even the dead?’

Baal is calmer than you think.

It’s a style that doesn’t dare to jump into dangerous things.

On the contrary, I even showed flexibility that tried to embrace me.

Because he even shared his authority.

It was difficult to imagine that she would become the target of such a feat.

Eventually, the deafness disappeared.

The mana released by Baal to hide the sound of the conversation was removed.

“Your Highness, the arrangement is complete.”

Edith and Croft approached after finishing the last remnants of the party.

Then Baal went straight into acting mode.

“Grandpa, are you okay?”

“Are you really okay? Are you not hurt?”

“Yeah. My grandfather protected me, so I’m fine.”

It was the image of a granddaughter who cared deeply for her grandfather with tears in her eyes.

There doesn’t seem to be any particular danger, so I thought I could leave it alone.

If you forcibly tried to get rid of the AI and turned into a vegetable, you would lose the 8th circle archmage you barely got.

‘If you try to pose a threat to me, get rid of it immediately.’

[Yes, Master. A nanomachine was administered that overwrote a very small amount of ‘dummy data’, including an ‘AI removal tool’.]

Does Baal know?

Thanks to the psionic energy that was distributed to me, making the dummy data was easy.

Thanks to that, I was able to plant nanomachines without a doubt.

It was insurance, in case you didn’t know.

Because no one knows what will happen next.

After burying all the corpses under the ground using Edith’s magic, we took a wagon and headed to the ‘Prelude Forest’.

The only ice forest that exists in the north.

This was the place where he immediately ‘surrendered’ and avoided Carlos’ sword.

In order to quickly conquer the north and recapture the Holy Land, Carlos did not invade as long as he officially ‘surrendered’.

Also, even when not at war, the forest of Prelude allowed strangers to enter freely.

A forest that took a course that was distinctly different from that of most of the closed northern peoples and gained wealth instead.

Since he had been doing business with merchants on the continent, it wouldn’t be strange if a wagon came in and out.

‘The road to the Holy Land is here.’

The reason why the carriage was led here was to head to the Holy Land.

“There are quite a few soldiers of the Empire.”

Edith said.

There were alien beings in the village coexisting with the forest.

soldiers of the empire.

According to the order of Archduke Carlos, it seemed that he was the person guarding this place.

No matter how much I declared surrender, it was good to be prepared for an unexpected situation.

But they didn’t pay much attention to the wagon either.

Croft opened his mouth.

“You’re on drugs.”

All the soldiers were on drugs.

Due to powerful hallucinogens and stimulants, he was showing off all sorts of oddities.

It was normal to lie on the floor, and there were also soldiers smirking and shouting in the air.

Of course, administering drugs to soldiers to win a war was not uncommon in the history of war.

However, Emperor Deus strongly forbade such an act.

This is because drug addiction and dependence cannot be cured even with divine power.

After the war, most of them become obsolete.

Furthermore, the drug that Archduke Carlos administered to the soldiers was known as the most dangerous drug called ‘death of the devil’.

The ‘Devil’s Whisper’ secretly mixed by Empress Josephine is a child’s play.

“Sah, save me!”

“Puhahahaha! did you hear You want to save me?”

“Hey, uncivilized savages! Come out and save me!”

The village was a real mess.

The villagers stared at the woman with pity through the cracks in the windows with the door locked.

“Marquis Bridgerton! Isn’t this the first year you’ve seen it?”

“Anyway, dark-hearted savages are damn good at hiding them.”

“Should I knock it down once more?”

Soldiers gathered in the square smirking.

“The maiden would have told me to give it all, but it still seems to be testing my patience.”

A man in the middle was frowning.

As he grabbed the hair of the half-naked woman, the woman next to him burst into tears.

“B, Bridgerton, please save my daughter!”

“Where are you holding this dirty and vulgar bitch?”

Kicked and trampled.

Even so, he looked around and said, drawing his sword.

“Take a close look, barbarians from the north! What will happen if you disobey my orders!”

That time when I was preparing to slit my throat as if it wasn’t once or twice.

Germine stopped the carriage.

“… What is it, you guys?”

Man, Bridgerton frowned.

I’ve seen merchants’ wagons a few times, but it was definitely the first time I’d seen them.

Even more so, the style is also imperial.

“These babies. Did you just send it to where I am, even though a wagon I’ve never seen before is walking around?”

No matter how drunk they were, the carriage they had never seen before came to the center of the village.

It was astounding that no one had stopped them all this time.

What’s even more absurd is those guys who proudly stopped in this situation.

From what I can see, they seem to be a group of imperial merchants who are dark about the situation in the north.

“What are you doing without taking it out right away and kneeling in front of me!”

Soldiers approached in wagons.

They smiled sinisterly when they found Kaichel in the carriage.

“Hwiyu!”

“Marquis Bridgerton, this is a special item.”

“Should I kill old people?”

Crazy guys who even try to plunder imperial-style wagons.

Bridgerton approached and inspected the inside of the wagon, then opened his eyes wide.

“hehehehe, the blessing has walked on its own. If it satisfies me tonight, I want to live specially…”

“Croft, bear.”

Awesome!

There was not even a final word.

Croft cut Bridgerton’s throat as soon as I finished speaking.

As Bridgerton’s neck fell to the floor with thin blood, the soldiers froze like ice.

Then Croft got out of the wagon and told the soldiers.

“Kneel down. Because His Highness, Crown Prince Reinhardt, has come.”

Administrator Farchel’s complexion turned pale.

It was a big deal that the Marquis Bridgerton, who was in charge of the estate here, died with a single knife, but the biggest problem was Prince Reinhardt in front of him.

‘Why are Crown Prince Reinhardt and Lord Croft in the north?’

northward. Furthermore, the forest of Prelude here is far from the battlefield.

I had never heard of any other members of the imperial family attending, either from other nobles or from the Grand Duchess Carlos.

If you make a mistake yourself, your head will be cut off.

“His Highness Reinhardt. What did you walk all the way to the far north…?”

“Are you uncomfortable with me being here?”

“That, that, that’s not it. The inspection vehicle must have come for the peace of the empire!”

Damn it. I made a mistake. I feel like dying. Maybe it’s already been decapitated.

Administrator Farchel groped his neck.

Fortunately, the neck was still attached.

“I heard that the middle supply route to the Holy Land is here. Am I right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“This is also the place where ‘Death of the Devil’ is distributed under the pretext of supplying supplies.”

“That, that, that… I think you have a misunderstanding!”

Administrator Farchel shook his head frantically.

Devil’s Death is a drug that is strictly prohibited even in the Empire.

Anyone who distributes or inhales it is punished by death, regardless of status.

Archduke Carlos wouldn’t mind that, but they weren’t the lower nobles.

“Misunderstanding. misunderstand.”

As I smiled and gestured, the door opened and Edith entered.

An oak barrel was slung over Pagan’s shoulder, and it was all filled with a white powder called ‘Devil’s Death’.

“Ugh······!”

“Administrative Parcel. The Empire’s laws are strict. As for the disposition of those who circulate the death of demons, I think you, as a citizen of the Empire, know better.”

“Sasa, save me!”

Administrator Farchel knelt.

Since he was caught on the spot, even if he was caught saying no, he would be sentenced to death.

Archduke Carlos will stand by. He said that the Marquis of Bridgerton did everything secretly, and at least the soldiers of this territory were people who would lightly drown them.

Administrator Farchel knew that too.

‘I know everything!’

That is why the Marquis of Bridgerton was summarily executed.

Administrator Farchel was speechless.

“Do you want to live?”

“Are you saving me?”

“no.”

“Ahh······.”

Administrator Farchel wept.

It felt like all the strength was draining from my body.

However, after hearing the next words, his attitude changed drastically.

“I will be staying here for the next two days. If you carry out my orders well until then, I will let you live.”

“I will follow your orders, Your Highness!”

thud! thud!

Administrator Parchel continued to bang his forehead on the floor.

late evening.

We were guided by the magistrate to stay in the house originally occupied by the Marquis of Bridgerton.

‘A soft bed.’

I entered the room and looked at the bed.

You don’t know how much I missed you.

I wondered if this would feel like meeting a friend I haven’t seen in years.

After tidying up my clothes, I lay down on the soft bed, and the horses rushed to me.

But before going to sleep, there was something I had to do first.

‘Zero. Let the deep dream run.’

[The administrator’s authority has been upgraded to level 5 and ‘Augmented Reality, Deep Dream’ has been opened.]

[You can continue augmented reality in the master’s dream.]

[Execute Deep Dream.]

[Starts ‘reproduction’ based on the recorded video.]

Soon, another world opened before my eyes.

empty space.

“…”

In front of me, Croft stood with his sword in hand.
