I knew.
From the moment the dragon called Garf’s name, a subtle change was beginning in Garf.
The emotions conveyed through his hands were joy, joy, and disgust.
I didn’t know the first two emotions, but I knew the last one better than anyone else.
Disgusting when you see someone trying to wrap themselves up. unpleasant.
It was because it was similar to my feelings when I saw Malfiel.
‘It worked.’
The last move worked.
The operation to wake Garp by deliberately provoking him succeeded.
If he had fought a dragon a thousand years ago and achieved at least a draw, he could overcome this situation by waking up his ‘consciousness’ containing formidable nanomachines, although his current appearance is no different from that of flesh.
[A large amount of unauthorized nanomachines, including the special process ‘Gluttony’, have been introduced.]
[It is impossible to control.]
[This is a nanomachine that works with autonomic AI. It is an AI that is adjusted to move only under certain conditions, making forced intervention impossible from the outside.]
[It can be separated and discharged.]
[When living together, they share the master’s nervous system and move autonomously. To overcome the current situation, we recommend a temporary ‘symbiosis’.]
‘voracity.’
However, I didn’t expect the flesh to be sucked into my hand.
Garp’s Might.
The lump of flesh that had been sucked in had eaten all the nanomachines containing the dragon’s words.
Like the psionic energy given by the silver demon king, it was a special property of nanomachines that only the northern demon king possessed.

Autonomous nanomachines.
Unlike Baal, Gaf fully transferred his authority to me.
Not to mention, his will wasn’t made like an AI.
overcoming the status quo.
To escape from the dragon, Zero was recommending a ‘temporary alliance’.
He seemed to have decided that continuing to keep Garp’s uncontrollable nanomachines inside his body was poison.
In a normal case, Zero would be correct, but there was something that even Zero did not know.
It is a human emotion.
Gaf’s emotions accumulated over a thousand years were desperately felt.
Feelings of anger, vengeance, and the desire to kill the dragon!
For him, Garp gave me his all.
“……Are you awake? Garp.”
The dragon stopped moving.
It was because he felt that his dragon words had been ‘eaten’.
It was the appearance of Garp’s power, gluttony, which he had been fighting against a thousand years ago.
The Demon King of the North had the power to devour all personal energy that touched him.
Because of its power to consume dragon words, magic, and even physical shock, the dragon suffered the humiliation of having its lower body cut off by Garp.
‘Amazing.’
so it’s amazing
Is it possible to transfer that invincible authority to someone else?
Even if that was possible, that human body was not the vessel to handle it.
It was too weak to contain Garp’s power.
The vessel, which would not be strange even if it exploded immediately, contained the full power of Garp.
How?
‘Has the capacity to hold Garp’s power?’
If the size of the bowl is insanely large, it would be possible, but even a perfect dragon can do an impossible task with an almost human being?
The capacity that can be put in a bowl is determined from birth.
You can increase it by adding another bowl, but you cannot increase the size of the original itself.
And the authority was contained only in the vessel of the original.
If the size of the original bowl itself is not large, it is impossible to contain it.
A human with a vessel to fully contain the power of Garp, who was called the Demon King and was selected as the 11th feat.
‘That’s impossible for me too.’
It was a miracle that even a dragon who had accomplished ten feats could not do.
Although the dragon is powerful, the bowl itself of the central capacity was not that large.
Each time a feat is accomplished, the dragon gains ‘additional capacity’ to which it can add other powers or abilities, as it only adds one more vessel, and does not increase the ‘central capacity’ itself.
‘If you take him, you can get Garp’s power and enormous capacity.’
However, there was one more way to make the dragon stronger besides accomplishing feats.
Ten bowls obtained by completing ten feats.
It is to ‘change’ the bowl.
It was the heart.
The dragon had eleven hearts, including his own.
You can’t change your own, but you can swap extra hearts.
That’s why they usually become stronger by taking the hearts of those who have accomplished feats.
If you fill one with a heart with that enormous capacity and power, you should be able to achieve all 12 feats in an instant and gain divinity.
‘If I killed it, it would have been a big deal.’
The dragon’s smile deepened.
Even if he inherited Garf’s authority, he wasn’t Garf.
Moreover, even Garp, who had invincible powers, ended up being that way.
As a result of continuous exposure to a powerful curse, it lost its human form.
Authority only maintained life.
In other words, they become defenseless against attacks that exceed their authority or exceed their duration.
Didn’t you already go through a boring experience a thousand years ago?
“Sometimes an undeserved gift becomes poison.”
Push profit.
The lines connected to the crystal were disconnected.
Soon after, the ‘curse’ that had been blocked began to spread everywhere.
“Stupid boy. I passed my power, but my ‘seal’ was also broken. Hit the ground and regret your own stupidity for handing over your power to such a mere human, Garp. ”
Garp sealed the dragon here.
To prevent the curse from spreading outside the cave.
So that the dragon cannot move from this place.
However, Garp passed on the power and the seal was also lifted.
“I will show you the real power of the old dragon that curses the world.”
Enormous energy that would sink the entire north.
The whole cave started to shake.
Because of this curse, that human will lose everything except his heart.
It’s a waste of his legs, but if the seal had been lifted, it wouldn’t have been difficult to move.
‘It’s a scene I’ve seen many times.’
And I was used to why that dragon gathers strength.
When Malfiel gathers lightning to kill me and blow up the palace.
It reminded me of the only time he was defenseless.
The power of concentrating all the power was strong enough to transcend imagination, but there was a gap for a few seconds to do so.
The ‘control’ of other things is also bound to be loosened.
I shifted my gaze.
‘Now.’
Those were the ‘tentacles’ of crystals that were holding me back.
[Hacking complete.]
[You have acquired control over the ‘tentacle’.]
I couldn’t control the dragon or do anything about the crystal itself where the radioactivity was stored, but I was able to hack these tentacles even with the current administrator’s rights.
“······ What?”
The tentacles that had been strangling me withdrew in an instant, and this time, in reverse, they strangled the dragon.
It began to replace the role of the line that was separated by wrapping the dragon.
“how?”
I was perplexed.
It’s something you can’t help but be embarrassed about.
To think that his own tentacles were actually attacking him.
The expression of the dragon that was about to release and attack was forcibly stopped. This is because the hole that released the curse was blocked again by its own tentacle.
“Follow me. I mean, listen to me!”
The dragon, noticing that the tentacles did not move according to its own will, shouted while grinding its teeth.
A gap visible in an instant.
Thanks to that gap, I was able to take full authority over the tentacles.
He smiled and approached slowly.
“How does it feel to lose a leg twice? I’ve never experienced it, so I don’t know.”
There was something I forgot to use.
Even if the opponent is not Garp,
It is also a completely different state from a thousand years ago.
A body that moves by relying on tentacles. The dragon whose lower body was cut off had no choice but to store its flowing power in a crystal.
A dragon that has lost all its power in its heyday and is only a shell.
Comparing him to Malfiel was embarrassing.
It means that if you can take control of the tentacle, you can block it at the source.
Even the dragon words that could be countered were eaten up by gluttony.
“What are you… what the hell are you doing!”
As you get closer, the tentacles that were blocking you move away one by one.
The distance between the dragon and me was less than five steps.
“All mana. Kill him.”
What an idiot.
Maybe you still haven’t realized that attacks by nanomachines don’t work.
A physical attack would have worked better, but the stupid dragon didn’t even realize that.
‘I guess not all dragons are smart.’
If I had to turn the ground over and bury him alive, I wouldn’t be able to get out.
If they were locked up for three days, they would die of dehydration.
“Don’t come.”
Now, the dragon is terrified.
It was the first time. I had never experienced such an unknown.
This is because the dragon is the greatest mystery and the unknown.
A mystery beyond itself, the dragon hadn’t experienced in a long time.
He was so afraid of the human who had come before his eyes.
“stop······!”
“Gaff wants to say his regards.”
Chaaagh!
The moment he touched it, the dragon began to be erased by Garp’s ‘Gluttony’.
was eating
All dragons and crystals.
However, the dragon was not completely erased.
The dragon’s consciousness was clearly alive.
‘I will occupy this body.’
Giving up the body eaten by gluttony, the dragon succeeded in reviving only his soul in the moment.
The dragon soul that existed in the immobility realm was absorbed along with gluttony and reached the realm of human cognition in an instant.
‘I thought you’d win. Be so careless and regret it.’
It was a momentary wit, but it worked better.
It was far better to take possession of this body of infinite possibilities.
A ‘vessel’ that would remain intact even after consuming Gaf’s authority and himself.
It is hard to imagine how large the capacity of the center bowl is.
‘her.’
However, I only found out after coming in.
‘It’s like the universe.’
The size of this body’s bowl dared to be the same as the universe.
You could dare to call it the vessel of God.
In response, the dragon could not help but tremble while being surprised at the same size.
Compared to this body’s vessel, achieving a feat was like child’s play. He should have been able to attain the status of a god just by taking possession of this body and training it.
However, the dragon realized that it was a futile hope only when it reached the center of human cognitive realm.
‘What.’
The soul that existed in his immobility realm was being erased.
‘How are you going to erase me?’
It is impossible to realize one’s existence and even erase it.
Soon, something appeared in front of him.
An existence like a huge light.
‘god?’
Why does God exist in the human realm?
However, it was the first time I saw God.
I couldn’t tell if God was right or not.
However, if it is a being that erases one’s soul in the immobility realm, it must be a god.
‘why. Why are you erasing me?’
It is he who has done their feats and run errands all his life.
A dragon that accomplished ten feats was rare among dragons.
It became the standard to be recognized as a true ‘dragon’.
But why
Oh God. Why do you side with humans and not me?
‘Ahh.’
erased
It disappears.
own existence. memory. all things.
