Nanomachine Emperor

-It’s sad. A death that nobody mourns.

It’s as vivid as it was yesterday.

It was Malfiel who put me on his stage and killed me like a clown.

It was he who instigated everyone, gnawed at the empire, and brought it to the most miserable end.

But what annoys me even more than that is Malfiel’s arrogant attitude.

The damn thought that he didn’t care about me, that he was just a clown for his own entertainment, ran through his whole body.

Even though I walked everything, I couldn’t even reach my toes.

Even though I lost everything, I became nothing.

miserable clown. It was nothing more and nothing less.

“Are you calling me, errand boy?”

said the dragon.

Hearing and responding to the name.

But, he’s an errand boy.

It’s not a pleasant tone to hear, but that dragon was definitely recognizing me anyway. As the errand boy who brought Garp.

Should I like this or hate it?

Soon, the dragon shook his head.

“Sorry, but my name is not Malfiel.”

······ exactly.

Only the face is the same, but the atmosphere is subtly different.

But, he’s an errand boy.

Soon, the dragon shook his head.

“Sorry, but my name is not Malfiel.”

······ exactly.

Should I like this or hate it?

Only the face is the same, but the atmosphere is subtly different.

Although similar, the dragon in front of me and Malfiel had completely different graces.

Innate grace does not change easily.

Malfiel was much lighter than the dragon in front of him. It was because he was a seriously ill patient with a disease that would wither away if he did not receive attention from others.

Still, the dragon in front of me didn’t seem to have the temperament of a seed of interest like Malfiel.

The dragon continued.

“However, if it is an illusion because the faces are similar, it must be another type of ‘dragon’ made with my blood. You won’t find this well-made dragon face in public life.”

It seemed the same in that there was no luck.

However, I asked back to a story that could not be overlooked.

“Are you really a dragon?”

“Why are you disappointed because I am a dragon?”

Not disappointed.

I had always thought that the dragon was not a creature, but rather a weapon.

A nuclear weapon that emits radiation.

It’s a kind of weapon that Zero showed me the other day and destroyed all the brilliant civilization.

However, the dragon in front of him was clearly alive and breathing.

There was clearly a distance from nuclear weapons.

The dragon laughed.

“The dragon is not grandiose. It is merely an existence created for the achievement of twelve feats. It’s kind of like a representation of God.”

God’s representative.

Suddenly, the Holy Church came to mind.

It was because the church that preached the doctrine of God gave Malfiel strength in the first place.

Thanks to this, Malfiel grew in number at a tremendous speed.

Perhaps Shin, Malfiel, and the Holy Church all have a connection.

“Twelve were made to accomplish feats? Who made it?”

However, I deny the existence of God.

After getting zero, the idea became more solid.

All kinds of denominations, including the Holy Church, say that divine power is the power of God, but in the end, they only twist and use nanomachines.

Even the story of giving a great feat and granting it strength, it is impossible to be certain that the subject is ‘God’.

someone transcendent.

Or close to the devil.

If it was the fair and omnipotent god that the Holy Church says, there was no way he would have given Malfiel his strength.

However, the dragon pointed to the sky and concluded.

“god.”

This is an unexpected answer.

It means that the dragon was created by God to practice his feat.

I couldn’t help but ask again.

“What if I accomplish all twelve feats?”

“Acquire divinity. can be a god I couldn’t achieve only 10 of them, but it’s a pity.”

become a god

Is it really so?

Malfiel did not become a god.

Even though all 12 feats have been accomplished.

He gained power like a god, but he was clearly not a god.

I was sure of this.

However, I didn’t bother to say it.

“The eleventh feat must have been killing Garp.”

“yes. The target of my eleventh feat was Garp. We fought for over ten years, and Garp sliced off my lower half, but he was cursed for it. After all, we made our last bet.”

A thousand years since the bet began.

The dragon’s place has turned into a holy place.

Countless warriors died in the challenge, and became pagans.

In that sense, dragons could be said to be God’s creations.

Depending on the trials he made, he gave them strength or even killed them.

And Garp survived this hell for a thousand years to reach the dragon.

“How are dragons made?”

“You have a lot of questions, errand boy. However, it is a person who can communicate with each other for the first time in a thousand years. I will gladly give you an answer.”

The dragon continued to speak with a positive response.

“I do not know either.”

“…”

“The only thing that is certain is that the blood of dragons that have accomplished many feats creates the same type of dragon. If you’ve seen a dragon like me, that’s probably why.”

It is a copy of a kind.

And if Malfiel was a being created by imitating the dragon in front of his eyes, he could understand why he worked so hard to deify himself.

A copy without originality struggled to become the real thing.

If Archduke Carlos had this dragon, it could be said that it was an unfortunate fake that could not attack the original.

In reality, he was a poor fellow. Of course, there was no sympathy at all.

The dragon looked straight at me.

His eyes turned like snakes.

“But the question is, you can feel the scent of your own people, albeit weakly. What a strange thing. Dragons cannot reproduce.”

“You mean I smell like a dragon?”

“It is absurd, but it is a fact that cannot be denied. You must have had dragon blood.”

Dragon confirmed.

If I smelled like a dragon, it must have been because of the blood of the imperial family.

An absolute ruler who built an empire.

Little was known about him.

However, he was known as the strongest person who accomplished ten feats.

It meant that the dragon established the empire, and the imperial family inherited his blood.

However, the dragon expressed doubts about the impossibility of breeding.

[warning. There is only 30% remaining energy remaining.]

[7 minutes and 30 seconds remaining in user protection mode.]

[Escape.]

But there was no more time for dialogue.

Insufficient residual energy.

I had to step out now.

‘Can’t I rule like Caliburn?’

But I couldn’t leave without getting anything like this.

Just like the time of the Spirit Caliburn, if I could take that dragon, it would definitely be a great power.

A dragon who has accomplished ten feats.

Even more so, if it was Malfiel’s original, it would be a good move against Malfiel.

Even if it’s not that, you can kill it by pressing it when it appears.

[Insufficient level of administrator authority.]

[AI is operating as an express process.]

[In order to dominate the target ‘dragon’, it is necessary to raise the level of administrator authority to level 1.]

Unfortunately, the answer was that zero is impossible.

It is said that level 5 administrator rights are not enough.

However, I learned that that dragon is also an AI.

‘If the dragon is an AI, Malfiel is also likely to be an AI.’

This was very important information.

If you can handle the dragon’s AI by upgrading the level of the administrator’s authority, it will surely affect Malfiel.

It was then.

“Now it is my turn.”

Since he answered his curiosity, he said that he would achieve what he wanted.

The dragon’s eyes were stained red.

He looked at me with those terrifying snake-like eyes.

“The wait of a thousand years was also meaningful. Garp, you brought my leg.”

He started laughing out loud.

Are you saying you’re going to cut off your leg just because you answered the questions a few times?

“The final winner is me in the end. gaff. I will become a god this time with a perfected body.”

At that moment, nanomachines with an enormous amount of radiation rose up around him.

A density that cannot be compared to the numbers outside.

The impure intentions were clearly visible.

“I don’t think you have any intention of letting go quietly.”

“Don’t worry. It would be such an honor to die and become my leg.”

When I became convinced that I had inherited the dragon’s blood, greed and madness lingered in the dragon’s eyes.

He intends to kill me and replace it with his lost lower half.

My impression was crumpled.

Of all the words I heard in my life, it was the most unpleasant words that fit within three fingers.

That I’m the lower half

[warning. The special process ‘Dragon’ is executed.]

[warning. The remaining energy is insufficient.]

[warning. Escape.]

verb.

The power of the dragon’s words is absolute.

Its power was legendary. The dragon was able to use the magic used by the 9th circle archmage as if breathing.

“die.”

At the same time, an overwhelming amount of nanomachines attacked me.

[warning. There is only 29% remaining energy remaining.]

[warning. There is only 28% remaining energy remaining.]

[warning. There is only 27% remaining energy remaining.]

Energy falling rapidly.

Zero released energy to block that dragon.

But sooner or later, when it reaches 0%, zero will stop and I will die too.

Lines protruding from the crystals strangled my body.

I had to get out, but I couldn’t move.

only to endure.

That’s why you can’t just become the lower half of a dragon.

“… Oh, my God.”

Looking at me enduring the instant death dragon, the dragon threw an interesting look.

Normally, he would literally die on the spot. It is impossible for an ordinary human being to endure.

But I’m not dead. As long as Zero is maneuvering, he will not die.

An opponent who twists the dragon of instant death.

“After all, you are not an ordinary human being. Hey, it must have been natural since he had the blood of a dragon. Even better.”

I became interested in the dragon’s eyes.

Even if you twist and cut, there is a limit.

I wondered how far it could be blocked.

[warning. The special process ‘Dragon’ is executed.]

“die.”

[warning. The special process ‘Dragon’ is executed.]

“die.”

[warning. The special process ‘Dragon’ is executed.]

“Porridge… Hmm?”

Residual energy dropped below 3%.

As death approached, I could feel the horror, but I was just laughing.

“Did you even mean it?”

“Because it’s funny. Pretending to be a winner while being a loser.”

The dragon declared defeat to Garp, but judging from his attitude, he was not properly subdued.

It is truly the end of a discord.

The dragon’s expression suddenly hardened.

“What?”

I shrugged.

“Isn’t it? I said bet, but all you did was wait like a bug. It’s because I can hardly believe that Garp and you made a ‘bet’ on the same line about the bug that did nothing and just waited for death here.”

Garp was not.

Garp has been fighting nonstop for a thousand years.

To protect one’s life and achieve one’s goal.

On the other hand, that dragon did nothing.

Now I wondered if I had really made a ‘bet’.

“It’s a cheap provocation. Do you think you will fall for such a provocation?”

“It’s a provocation. I’m just saying you and Gaff aren’t on the same page. They didn’t fight for 10 years, they were just bugs that unilaterally escaped. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have been hiding here for a thousand years.”

“You have lost your fear.”

[warning. The special process ‘Dragon’ is executed.]

[Residual energy is less than 1%.]

[Avoid.]

“die.”

The dragon, who had hardened his expression, activated the dragon.

Less than 1% of energy left.

That was the moment.

“I won, dragon.”

gaff.

The lump of flesh I was holding was sucked into my hand.
