Nanomachine Emperor

[Switch to user protection mode.]

[Protection mode requires a lot of energy.]

[Remaining user protection time 37 minutes 12 seconds]

[warning. There is a possibility of exposure to high concentrations of radiation.]

[warning. Escape within the duration is recommended.]

I ignored Zero’s constant voice.

Then, he kindly floated the remaining time in front of his eyes and encouraged him to escape.

Time is decreasing moment by moment.

‘Suffice.’

moved without hesitation.

‘As long as I’m on the move, I was told it would completely protect me from radiation.’

What Zero said in the past.

I believed in that confidence.

An artificial intelligence machine created to save humankind contaminated by radiation.

because it is zero

Of course, it was something that no one would have done if they were sane.

Because he saw the warriors dying in front of his eyes, transforming their bodies.

Even a person with a fairly large wall would not think of stepping into the cave.

‘If I don’t take the dragon, I’ll die anyway.’

Because he saw the warriors dying in front of his eyes, transforming their bodies.

Either die by Archduke Carlos or die by Malfiel.

Or, as Baal said, he could be selected for a feat and suddenly suffer a change.

Only by taking the dragon can we remove the power of Archduke Carlos and seek safety from Malfiel.

The story of Malfiel being unable to attack Archduke Carlos because of the existence of the dragon.

Even if the story was only half true, the dragon’s value would be beyond imagination.

And if it’s just a difference in time, if I die anyway, I wanted to die while making my own choices and taking on challenges.

‘My stomach is disgusting.’

The problem was that every time I took a step, it felt like gastric juice was flowing backwards.

Zero used all his energy only to prevent the invasion of radiation.

Even minute radiation can be lethal to the human body the moment it enters.

The gap seemed to cause dizziness.

After trying to shake my head and taking a few more steps, I couldn’t see outside.

‘It has crossed the realm of a great warrior.’

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.

He knew that the deeper he went into the cave, the more determined he was in Pagan’s class.

great warrior. There are few honorable beings in the north.

Even the saintess would have no choice but to admit that she had already taken ten steps.

Even if you go back to this point, the desired result has been achieved.

But I didn’t stop.

It was my goal to see the end from the beginning.

I continued to walk, and after about 100 steps, it was an empty field.

The corpses piled up at the entrance were no longer visible.

It was proof that no warrior had ever reached this point.

[Radioactive levels are rising rapidly.]

[Please be careful.]

All sorts of gas-like things were clearly visible.

This ideal was not a place for humans to go.

‘Did Duke Carlos enter the sanctuary by fortifying it?’

So, doubts arose about the way Archduke Carlos took the dragon.

The deeper I went, the stronger I felt that it would be impossible for humans to reach the end.

If there is a possibility, it is his long-term ‘Sanctuary’.

The power to turn one’s surroundings into a sanctuary and to deny any intrusion.

However, no sanctuary could ever be completely free from this radiation.

The radiation here is beyond the level that nanomachines can purify.

In other words, if the sanctuary is also mana, it means that it has no choice but to be eaten by radiation.

‘As rumor has it, it might have been possible because of his close relationship with the lich.’

rich.

An existence that stores its own life separately and is immortal.

Dark magic, such as the lich and the undead, was long overdue.

However, there were rumors that Archduke Carlos had signed a contract with Richie.

There was a possibility that he used that lich to take the ‘dragon’ of the Holy Land.

Use the dead to attack the Holy Land. A possible idea.

That is if the lich really existed.

Whatever it was, if Archduke Carlos took the dragon, there was no reason why I couldn’t get it too.

“Sa……

how much more would it take

When I found the passage to the basement, the ‘flesh’ placed next to it came into view.

Looking at it, it was a lump of flesh.

It was crushed and burst, so I couldn’t even properly distinguish my eyes, nose, and mouth.

But it was clearly talking.

‘her.’

It was amazing.

To come all the way here and meet a living thing.

A realm that far exceeded the standard of pagan they say.

It was a good place to come in more than a thousand steps.

A human living in a place that no one, even a great warrior, could have reached since the discovery of the Holy Land.

Although the form was far from human.

It almost felt like slime.

“Who the hell are you?”

“I am······.”

He was obviously human.

However, the flesh lump did not give a proper answer.

He seemed to have forgotten who he was.

It didn’t look like he had been here for a day or two.

‘It’s best to just pass by.’

Even at this moment, time was running out of time.

If the user protection mode is turned off, my body will be transformed in an instant.

It was best to ignore it, considering the time it took to take the dragon.

However, I couldn’t stand still.

because it seemed

[A vast amount of unauthorized nanomachines are sustaining life.]

A huge amount of nanomachines.

Nanomachines were roaming around the flesh.

It did not simply roam, but maintained the ‘life’ of the flesh from radiation.

That amount was more than that of Edith, the Archmage of the 8th Circle.

So, I couldn’t help but ask again.

“Why are you alive?”

Why do you want to live so far away?

What is the reason why he is forcibly holding on, forgetting who he is and even losing his original body?

Even though he must be suffering constantly due to the body transformation, he was pursuing that fleshy life.

I was drawn to that will.

“eventuality······.”

eventuality?

last. end. Does it mean going over the wall?

“Take me… give me…”

“You mean take me to the end of the cave?”

“…”

The fleshy body stopped talking as if it had exhausted itself.

It is positive.

It seemed that the desire to see the end of the cave was greater than the will to live.

What led him to this cave?

what keeps him going

Actually, I didn’t even have to worry.

It was a waste of time.

If it was the old me, I would have kicked it for talking to something filthy.

It must have been put away with an expression of disgust.

It was no different than now.

I stepped out.

To ignore the flesh and reach the dragon.

But it soon stopped.

Turning his back, he sighed and lifted the lump of flesh.

“…you are stronger than me.”

I wasn’t strong

After all, I couldn’t overcome madness.

No matter how hard it was, it was because of Zero’s suppression of the brain, but it was an undeniable fact that I myself surrendered to madness in the end.

Killing, killing again, stained the continent with blood.

I just cursed the world.

However, even after becoming this shape, the flesh did not give up.

your life, your goals.

In this hellish place where everyone died, they had been fighting for countless hours.

I paid respect to that will.

It was a kind of homage to the person who did what I couldn’t do.

I felt that my life was dying out, but at least I could let you see the end.

‘light.’

The flesh was light.

With one hand in hand, he continued to move forward.

And not long after, a huge iron gate appeared.

thud!

I pushed and pulled the door, but it wouldn’t budge.

‘Suck up the nanomachines. There is something that emits radiation in it.’

This meant that the door could not be forcibly opened even with aura or magic.

powerful magic. The door was guarded by something like an authority.

I bit my lip.

Perhaps beyond this is the end of the Holy Land.

I couldn’t stop coming.

[master. Please put your hand in the middle of the door.]

It was then.

As I was contemplating a method, Zero said.

When I slowly put my hand on the center of the iron door, the teeth aligned inside the iron door with a ticking sound.

[Start hacking the security code.]

Tick. Tyriririk.

The iron door emitted a blue light with a strange sound.

And soon

[Hacking complete.]

profit.

The iron door screamed and began to open.

I was dazed for a moment.

I knew that Zero had a lot of features, but I never thought that something like this would be possible.

‘There’s no such thing as an all-powerful key.’

Did you say that a person’s life is something that cannot be predicted?

Worms in the brain.

The bug that I resented every day was now playing the role of my right hand.

‘If I do well, I’ll be able to open the imperial palace.’

A door equipped with all sorts of devices so that only the emperor could open it.

The iron gate in front of me now was comparable to that of the imperial palace.

If you can secretly open it, you should be able to take out another elemental weapon from Vigo.

However, the thoughts did not last long.

“You have finally arrived.”

inside the door.

On top of the huge crystal, there was a black-haired man.

Lines protruding from all over the crystal were connected to the man’s body, but only the upper body was present and the lower half did not appear to have been cut off.

Eventually, the man opened his closed eyes and looked at me.

No, his gaze was on the flesh, not on me.

“Demon King, our bet has come to an end after a thousand years.”

······ Devil?

Could it be that the lump of flesh I am holding right now is called the Demon King?

Like Kaichel, who was called the silver demon king, there were some beings called the demon king.

However, there was only one person in the north who was called the Demon King for a thousand years.

He was the only one who unified the north a thousand years ago, ‘Demon King Gaf’.

The 4th Empress was the successor of the blood of the demon king Gaph, so there was no way she wouldn’t know.

And if this lump of flesh is really the Demon Lord Gaff, the enormous amount of nanomachines explains it.

the man said

“I couldn’t kill you in the end, and you couldn’t kill me either, so strictly speaking it’s going to be a draw… but I’ll acknowledge the efforts that have reached me.”

The man’s eyes sank.

With sad and joy coexisting eyes, he finally opened his mouth again.

“You won, Garp.”

burrr!

The lump of flesh shook violently.

Although I couldn’t see his expression, I could feel the emotion.

Hearing the man’s words, I couldn’t help but be surprised.

Demon King Garp!

Just in case, it was really the demon lord Garf.

‘dragon.’

Then that man must be a dragon.

The story of the demon king Garf’s confrontation with the dragon has been handed down as a northern legend to this day.

It means that the confrontation has been going on for a thousand years.

Above all, it was in the deepest part of the Holy Land, so there was no doubt.

However, I was not in the dragon’s eyes.

He continued to ignore it as if he had no one.

But from the moment I saw that dragon, my impression didn’t change.

Not because I was ignored.

This is a rejection that cannot be hidden.

It was a phenomenon when you met someone you couldn’t be with under the sky.

That will be too.

“… Malfiel.”

How can I forget that damn face.
