Dragon Road.
The strongest being that has existed since the beginning of time.
It is called the most powerful dragon, and as the head of the Dragon Blood Society, he was the one who supervised this meeting.
‘She can read the data.’
Most dangerous of all, she can read the data written on the nanomachines.
Thus, it was packaged as if it could ‘see everything’.
Reading the past of dragons and predicting the future based on the data.
Why would the stubborn dragons follow her?
Being strong is also strong, but isn’t it because of her ‘predictive power’?
like a god
Or, the essence of an ability revered as greater than a god.
‘I doubt it.’
Her gaze stopped exactly on me.
Why is she staring at me, not even interested in other dragons?
“The ritual is a northern dragon…”
Doubt.
I also guessed why.
‘It must be because of the Balrog’s body.’
And before long, words like my prediction flowed out of Rod’s mouth.
“Your body belongs to another dragon, Dragon of the North.”
······ I knew it.
She was able to control everything about the Balrog, but at once she saw through the gap between the Northern dragon and the Balrog.
I have no choice but to be suspicious because the data is inconsistent.
I shrugged my shoulders resolutely.
“Does that matter?”
Boldly.
I asked back what was the problem.
Some dragons glared at me, as if my tone and attitude were annoying.
well, it’s okay
Because he’s already been branded as a madman.
I was used to living as an insane person.
After all, no one here is more familiar with this situation than I am.
Besides, it is common for dragons to eat dragons.
The dragon of the north was sealed and suffered fatal wounds.
There is a reason to occupy the body of another dragon, and that is not a big problem.
“If you change your body, side effects come out. If you don’t do the ‘spirit ritual’ to adjust it, it will collapse.”
spirit consciousness?
It’s the first time I’ve heard of it. It was a word that was not even in the data of the northern dragon.
Rod then opened his mouth.
“I will perform the ceremony tomorrow. Dragon of the North.”
“…isn’t that ceremony too much of a luxury for a dragon who has just joined?”
The dragons started looking at me with strange eyes.
one of them. The guy who looked at the rod with more fanatical eyes than other dragons said.
Somehow, that ‘spirit ritual’ seemed to be something like a blessing that even dragons want to receive.
But the word ‘adjustment’ is strangely jarring.
“The ‘singularity’ has emerged. You don’t know what tricks they’ll come up with, so if you’re a Dragon of the Dragon Blood Society, shouldn’t you respond appropriately?”
Rod’s will was firm.
She herself mentioned the ‘singularity’ and explained the danger once again.
That spirit consciousness is also one way to deal with the singularity.
Maybe it’s because the existence that can affect even dragons is ‘Singularity’.
‘Not good.’
That the Lord directly supervises and ‘coordinates’ the ceremony.
It’s not as simple as tightening a screw.
A crab that can read data from nanomachines and AI.
On the contrary, it may even be possible to ‘overlap’.
No, it will be possible.

Judging by the attitude of the other dragons, there was no guarantee that they, too, had not been adjusted.
‘I don’t know if I can reach you directly.’
Of course, if I directly touch it, Zero will defend it, and I could go further and insert a kill code… but this body belongs to the Balrog, not my main body.
Zero’s body was not here either.
If the unprecedented incident of Balrog hacking occurred, the possibility that my existence would be discovered was quite high.
I don’t even want to imagine what happened after that.
Worst case, the lord who hacked the balrog will kill me and destroy the empire.
Therefore, it is necessary to avoid contacting the body of the balrog with the rod as much as possible.
“If there is no further disagreement, let’s start the meeting.”
Sixteen dragons including me.
The powerful enough to rule the world gathered together, and the meeting finally began.
That first agenda.
“The time for the final feat has been confirmed.”
It was about the destruction of mankind.
12th feat.
Reset the world!
It has already been executed twelve times, and each time mankind has lost civilization.
“In the next 100 days. I will perform the final feat.”
I forcibly resist trying to wrinkle my impression.
Only 100 days later?
‘fast.’
too fast too fast
It is clearly different from the memories of the past.
In the past, Malfiel instigated and inflated the war. That was something that would take place over the next two years.
I, too, could not stop the war, and mankind perished just like that.
But not 100 days later.
Presumably, when Malfiel was notified of his last feat, it would have been around two years ago.
And it seems that I was not the only one who felt the question of timing.
Alec asked with curious eyes.
“Road. The ‘balance of power’ has not yet collapsed.”
balance of power.
It must mean the extent to which mankind has grown.

Just like there was a time when there were quite a lot of 9th circle mages a thousand years ago.
However, there were no wizards and knights of that level at present. If there are, there will be only a very few.
“No, the balance of power has already collapsed.”
But Rod shook his head.
“Is it because of the singularity?”
“Not like that. A singularity is just a singularity. It cannot upset the balance of power.”
“Then why are you in such a hurry?”
“It’s because the world tree couldn’t catch it, and an existence that disrupts the balance has appeared.”
“·······!!!”
The dragon’s eyes began to tremble.
what is the world number
It is an absolute presence for them.
It was the World Tree that captured all balance and instructed the dragons to eliminate it.
However, it is said that there is a ‘distortion’ that even such a world tree could not capture.
“An entity that shouldn’t exist has appeared. The World Tree balances all ‘existents’, but cannot grasp what does not originally exist.”
“What is that being…?”
Something to the extent that Rod himself mentions it.
Incomparable to singularity.
A more terrifying, fearful, and vigilant existence.
Soon, Rod spoke slowly about the presence.
“It’s ‘zero’.”
······ She said Zero’s name exactly.
“Do not ‘touch’ any living being. That ‘plague’ can appear anytime, anywhere. It should never be touched.”
A warning not to touch anything.
He even knows how to use Zero.
But… I couldn’t help but wonder.
According to Dr. Moonsik Park, Zero never woke up.
There was no data of Zero being operated.
However, the Dragon Lord knew exactly about Zero’s name and abilities.
He even looked disgusted at it, calling it a ‘plague’.
“Road. What exactly is Zero?”
“It is heavenly.”
“Are you referring to the ‘replacement’ that the Twelve Gods sometimes made?”
replacement.
It refers to the powerful divine beasts created in place of dragons.
such as the ice bird.
However, it was eliminated from the competition. It was only natural that he was not strong enough to replace the dragon.
said Rod.
“Zero is the natural enemy of the world, resetting the world.”
It shouldn’t exist in this world because it destroys everything.
That’s what ‘zero’ is.
*
After talking about the singularity and the issue of Zero, the ‘role division’ began.
“Recommend a dragon to take on the role of ‘protagonist’.”
Hero.
The person at the center of the case.
It means the one who will lead the last feat.
Soon, Alec opened his mouth.
“I recommend ‘Hannibal’. Since he is already carrying out the duties of the ‘Pope of the Holy Church’ among humans, he is sufficient as the protagonist to lead the final feat.”
The Pope of the Holy Church?
I couldn’t help but be surprised.
I’ve heard rumors that the pope wasn’t human, but I thought he was a dragon.
The dragon named Hannibal stiffly raised his head.
Other dragons had no objection.
This is because there was no one more suitable for the role of the protagonist who will lead the destruction of mankind.
“Adolph. Who would you recommend?”
But there was one the other dragons couldn’t confirm.
Adolf. Rod turned his gaze towards him who had completely erased his presence.
Then Adolf looked straight at me.
“I recommend the Dragon of the North.”
“The reason is?”
“He is already playing around as the crown prince of the empire.”
It was the moment when my identity was revealed.
Come to think of it… Adolf knew exactly who I was.
Even before I fought Launel in the Colosseum, Adolf was watching me intently to join the Dragon Blood Society.
I glossed over it with the word play, but I never thought it would come back like this.
All the dragons here knew my true identity.
“Mad Reinhardt?”
Damn it.
Hannibal even mentioned my name correctly.
It didn’t make sense that the pope didn’t know the crown prince of the empire.
Everyone’s eyes turned to me.
The front of my heart was blocked.
under······.
“… He is playing as the crown prince of the empire.”
I wondered if this was a situation where I couldn’t even take it off.
It is impossible to say no in front of those who already know.
Knowing my true identity, Hannibal took a step back.
“Road. I think he is more suitable for the role of ‘protagonist’ than me.”
“Why do you think so?”
“The Shinsong Church may cause a local war, but it cannot plunge humans into great chaos. However, the emperor of the empire will be able to fulfill that role.”
“Didn’t you say he was the crown prince?”
“It’s okay to kill the emperor.”
for a moment.
Did he promise to kill Deus right now?
‘Will you kill Deus and put me in the seat of the emperor?’
And I am asked to take on the role of throwing the world into chaos.
There was no crazy person.
······ Besides, it has already been experienced once in the past.
The only thing that has changed is that he is not a puppet of Archduke Carlos, but a puppet of dragons.
“The position, refuse.”
I couldn’t accept it if I was sane.
He had no intention of becoming the protagonist of the great chaos.
If you are given the role of the main character, won’t there be a place to retreat?
My goal was to pretend to be in tune with their rhythm and take care of the truth.
Then Hannibal asked.
“It is an essential role to proceed with the final feat. Wouldn’t it be bad for you too?”
Damn it.
That’s not wrong.
If I were a real ‘dragon’.
“I, who have just joined the Dragon Blood Society, cannot take on such a heavy responsibility.”
“However, as a trigger, there is no one more suitable than the emperor…”
Kurrureung!
It was then.
Suddenly, the ground began to weep as if the world were twisting.
Immediately, the dragon’s expression darkened.
Same goes for loading.
“The curtain of lightning has been lifted.”
A curtain of lightning that blocks the demon world and the middle world.
because it is gone
And the disappearance of the lightning curtain.
oh oh oh oh oh oh-!
Crowaaa!
The door to the demon world opened and demons appeared.
“Destroy them.”
The meeting was interrupted.
The dragons left the castle and headed for the entrance to the Demon Realm.
‘······ Success.’
I inwardly stroked my heart.
A conference hall where all dragons gather.
Taking advantage of that gap, Arel and Hela succeeded in extinguishing the curtain of lightning.
