1st Prince Launel crossed the mountain range and arrived in the north.
Following the orders of Emperor Deus to move secretly, they traveled a long way with only a minimum number of people.
‘His Majesty’s expectations are high. It must succeed.’
This was the first time Deus had entrusted such a heavy duty.
the middle of the battlefield. It was because there was no reason to send the princes to a place like a typhoon.
―Find out secretly what is happening in the north.
It means collecting information without anyone knowing.
Originally, it was a problem that the shadows had to deal with, but it meant that even that was not feasible.
It was unusual for Deus to send a prince to the battlefield.
It must be proof that you believe in yourself that much.
‘Reinhardt and Croft headed north.’
The reason Emperor Deus sent himself to the north.
No explanation was given, but Launel already knew.
It must have been to find the whereabouts of the two of them and to monitor the movements of Archduke Carlos.
Launel circled the north, moving as cautiously as possible.
I collected information by passing through neutral cities.
Later, when they arrived at the forest of Prelude, Launel was convinced.
‘They’re both here. I executed the Marquis of Bridgerton and burned the devil’s death.’
Devil’s death!
A drug of death, punishable by death for anyone who handles it.
Hearing the name, Launel clenched his fist.
It is unlikely that the Marquis of Bridgerton did it alone.
Apparently, Archduke Carlos is behind it.
However, this was not reported to the imperial family.
‘Arrogant bastard. I’ll make sure you pay for your sins.’
Anyone else wouldn’t have a problem with it, but Launel was different.
When he returns to the Empire, he will inevitably ask Archduke Carlos for his sins.
No matter how powerful his power may be, the strict laws of the empire were above all the people of the empire.
If I didn’t know, I wouldn’t know.
“Did you just execute the Marquis of Bridgerton and be done with it? Didn’t you do something stupid?”
“He was a friendly person. He was a great spirit guide.”
“It can’t be. Didn’t you see it wrong?”
When asked about Reinhardt, the forest people of Prelude gave only the same answer.
All were praised.
But Launel still couldn’t understand.
‘Is Reinhardt friendly?’
Although they are brothers, Raunel never thought of Reinhardt as an older brother.
On the pretext of madness, he had everything.
The crown prince’s position, even his father’s interest.
Naturally, Reinhardt had a personality that was far from friendly.
When they go mad, their eyes are like demons.
Even in normal times, Reinhardt was like an active volcano.
How can you accept him as a brother?
He is a very different person from himself.
No, it was a monster that was questionable even if it was the same human being.
But was it kind?
I heard another story.
“You saved Amora and Afir. The children miss me a lot… Where did you go? Can I see you again?”
It is a very sad expression.
The more I listened, the more I felt like it wasn’t Reinhardt.
I shook my head.
must be some kind of mistake maybe it’s just someone else
Raunel’s goal was to bring Reinhardt back to the Empire before he did anything stupid in the north.
We started tracking along the expected path.
“A god was born in the Holy Land!”
“Let’s all head to the Holy Land!”
Before long, Launel witnessed a huge procession.
pilgrimage route.
All the northerners were heading to the Holy Land.
The endless procession was truly a magnificent sight.
‘The overlord who appeared after a thousand years is a god. I’ll have to check.’
Launel quietly joined the procession.
*
Through the overlord’s meeting, the pagans to be treated were selected.
After that, the radioactive materials were removed in order of the pagans whose lives were on the verge of extinction.
Of course, not all of them survived 100%.
The average survival rate is around 50%. This is because it only removes the cause of mutation, but does not add to the regenerative ability of nanomachines.
As soon as you die, it’s enough to make excuses like ‘it’s because of lack of faith’.
However, even half of that survival was enough to be called a miracle.
“It’s late, but congratulations. You ate the mysteries of the holy land and became the god of the north.”
late evening.
Caitel came into the room.
Up until now, she had lived faithfully as Edith’s granddaughter, but her inner self was Baal dwelling in the Philosopher’s Stone.
And now she was treating me as Baal, not as Kaichel.
Said Kaichel, who came close enough that she could feel her breathing.
“Now, it’s a gift.”
Her hand swept across her chin and then came down to her chest.
With a soft touch, he twists his fingers as if teasing.
It sounds like flirting, but it’s just a joke.
They want to see if the human Reinhardt reacts to her.
When there was no reaction from me, she withdrew her hand as if it was not interesting and this time handed me a small water bottle.
This is a real gift.
“Looks like you succeeded.”
“I mixed 99% pure demon death. Existing ones are at most 70%.”
The water bottle was filled with a thick blue solution.
An item that contains a high concentration of demonic death. If you drink it wrong, you could die.
“Good work.”
“Could that one word be the end? Me and my grandfather’s efforts that we made while sleeping through the night?”
I was pretty surprised even though it looked like this.
In a short time, the purity was raised almost to the end.
It is a highly advanced skill that even the palace alchemist cannot master.
“I’ll give you as much gold as you want when I go back.”
I calculated for a moment how much gold I could manage.
There was no special property, but there was a separate safe operated by the imperial family to maintain dignity.
Since he was semi-forced to confine himself to the palace, he had no use for money, so he must have accumulated quite a bit.
I don’t know, but wouldn’t it be about a year’s budget for a decent duchy?
When I looked away, Kaichel’s expression was that she had seen something she couldn’t see.
“Don’t you have any friends?”
“there is.”
“dog? cat? After all, he’s not a person.”
“Isabella. a person.”
“Oh my gosh. Now imaginary friends…”
“Stop the bullshit.”
“I don’t need gold. Instead, I should be your friend.”
Kachel smiled.
This, too, is a calculated smile.
‘I really thought I’d win and come back.’
What was inside the Holy Land was not an ordinary Epic.
There was a very powerful tyrant at the level of being called an ancient Epic.
However, Reinhardt broke through and came back.
It even seems to have been eaten.
‘What is it?’
Sorcerer’s Stone.
As the saying goes, she was able to use the ‘library of truth’ containing all the truth in the world.
However, such an epic did not exist anywhere in the library.
Epic contains features that are hard to describe in one word. It was so omnipotent that the word omniscient and omnipotent came to mind.
Where is the limit, or is there no limit?
I was curious.
‘It’s also fun.’
Epic is also Epic, but the human itself was very interesting.
Reinhardt.
Equally unpredictable humans.
The remark about giving gold to Epic was beyond common sense.
It is distorted and twisted somewhere, but when he moves his feet, that place becomes a road.
“But what are you going to use that stuff for? I made it, but I think it’s no different than poison.”
A solution made by mixing the death of a demon with high purity and several ingredients.
Even Kaichel did not know what effect they had when mixed.
It was because they were combined according to the orders of the crown prince.
One thing was clear: if you drink it wrong, it will go straight to the goal.
It was certain that the effect was twice as strong as when eaten with powder.
“I will use it.”
“······ Yes?”
Again, this was an unexpected answer.
Like Edith’s worries, I knew how to write to make their faith even stronger.
I thought he would rule the north with the death of a demon of high purity.
“It may reduce your physical addiction, but you can become mentally dependent. Once dependent on it, no matter how strong-willed a person is, it eventually breaks down…”
“Know.”
I knew better than anyone.
When you struggle with pain from the past, bugs in your head.
There was no drug I hadn’t tried to alleviate the pain. including drugs.
What I’m holding in my hand right now is close to the raw material for what is called the devil’s death. Remnants of the Demonic Church that are now impossible to save.
When you become addicted to this drug, all bodily functions rise dramatically, and you do not feel pain and only feel pleasant emotions.
This is why soldiers turn into berserkers who are not afraid of death.
Because the empire dried up the seeds of the church on a large scale, it was impossible to obtain items of high purity.
Archduke Carlos was nothing more than a low-purity devil’s death mixed with this and that to achieve a similar effect.
‘Death of the devil becomes the main ingredient of the potion.’
But I knew
Later, the demon’s death becomes the main ingredient for an item called ‘potion’.

Just spraying it on a wound healed it, and the high-purity potion was an elixir that could revive even a half-dead patient.
It was said that the power of the Holy Church fell to the ground due to the appearance of the potion.
In that sense, war is not all that bad from the point of view of human history.
War has greatly advanced human technology.
Because many things like potions have been developed.
‘The death of a demon of high purity has the function of activating mana in the body.’
no body.
In other words, it activates the nanomachines in the body.
The activated nanomachines promote the regeneration of the body.
It is similar to how Zero promoted my cell regeneration 30 times.
And if the potion can restore even the damaged nanomachines, the survival chances of the Pagans will increase significantly.
It was a feature that was needed not only for Pagan, but also for me.
‘Wouldn’t it be possible to supply the energy of worn-out nanomachines?’
The function of Nano Machine Zero is excellent, but the problem is energy.
As felt in the Holy Land, a way to supply worn-out energy was needed.
Thanks to Garp, I was lucky enough to survive, but I can’t repeat that situation.
The energy consumption of the dragon armor is also extreme, but there is a limit to increasing the number of nanomachines in the body.
So I made a potion now.
Since it was a potion formulated by the best alchemist, its effectiveness must be certain.
Of course, neither the stage to commercialize nor the usual experiments have been done. It’s a dangerous thing that doesn’t matter if you die after drinking it.
“Hey, wait!”
jump!
Leaving Kaichel’s flagship behind, he took a sip of the potion.
write.
The potion I drank in the past had a sweet taste like honey.
“Well.”
The effect was immediate.
The sound of my heart beating reverberates in my ears, and the world begins to distort.
However, this phenomenon did not last long.
[Toxic substances have entered the body.]
[Decomposes harmful components.]
[The psychotropic substances that rapidly act on the brain nerves have been blocked.]
[Discovered ‘Nanobio’, a microorganism that feeds nano machines.]
nano bio?
Until now, I thought that light and electricity were the food of nanomachines.
Zero himself said that he lives on the bioelectricity synthesized within the body.
In addition, it was said that electricity of at least 100,000 volts is required to recover energy from an external shock.

Just like being struck by lightning or waking up to Malfiel’s electric shock, it’s impossible to recharge without an impact like that.
However, the discovery of an unfamiliar name ‘prey’ was bound to raise questions.
[The function of nanomachines is temporarily improved.]
[Accumulates overcharged surplus energy into cells.]
[The area of co-activation of the brain expands.]
[26%]
[27%]
·······.
[30%]
30%.
When the concurrency area, which had stopped at 25%, expanded to 30%, a completely different, new world unfolded before my eyes.

‘I freed the Pagans from the curse. What did you do?’
An eagle roamed the sky and observed the Holy Land.
It was Damon who controlled the eagle.
A hidden helper of Archduke Carlos, a lich who has lived for hundreds of years, he has the ability to plant his mind into another vessel and manipulate it.
Following the call of the Grand Duke, he took part in this battlefield on condition.
Originally, the plan was not to step out until the Holy Land was conquered, but all plans were foiled by the ‘Daeshinseonglord’ who appeared in the Holy Land.
‘Indeed, Carlos deserves to delay time.’
All the monarchs, including Pagan, were gathered in the Holy Land.
That number is about 80,000.
There are far more Imperial forces, but due to the nature of the Holy Land, defense is advantageous.
With 80,000, you can easily deal with 200,000.
I felt like I needed a little help.
‘What is that?’
After wandering around for a while, the pagans are drinking a blue potion.
After drinking the potion, the wound healed and new skin grew rapidly.
“Oh, my God! thank you!”
“ah······.”
I was crying and screaming.
He was kneeling down and drinking a blue potion with a humble attitude.
‘Did that potion cure the pagans?’
Pagan has a headache. Even though life was short, the power was ignorantly strong.
However, once pagan, it can never be cured.
Damon, who has lived for hundreds of years, has experimented with numerous living organisms, but he could not touch the phenomenon of Pagan’s mutation.
Someone has done what you failed.
That potion revived the Pagans’ lost regenerative ability.
It’s not just about increasing life expectancy.
The physical ability is further improved and the senses become more sensitive.

Just being able to regenerate is like doubling your fighting ability.
Archduke Carlos deserves a delay.
However, there is no defeat as long as you participate in the battlefield.
‘That guy is the Lord of the Daeshin Castle.’
finally found
The existence that became a god by distributing that potion.
That guy wearing the dragon’s helmet must have been the ruler of the Daesinseong.
‘Don’t rule me.’
Rather, it made things easier.
If you control his mind and steal his body, you will get the whole northern region.
It was the secret to Damon’s eternal life.
He became a lich and awakened Epic.
It became an epic in itself.
The power engraved in Epic is spirit control.
If you express authority, you can dominate that great lord.
The conditions for expressing authority are simple.
You just need to make eye contact.
As soon as their eyes meet, that body becomes theirs.
By the way.
‘Well?’
The moment it descended from the sky, the signal from the eagle was cut off.
The world turned black.
Something had killed the eagle in the blink of an eye.
‘The defense is quite good. But it’s not like there’s no way.’
Next were cockroaches.
Moving along the small hole, I broke into the guy’s room.
But this time, as soon as he broke into the room, the signal was cut off.
‘The archmage’s mana wall?’
This is the mana wall set by the 8th Circle Archmage himself.
If you want to protect it for 24 hours, it will consume an enormous amount of mana, but you are doing just that.
I tried dozens of times with different targets, but all of them failed.
The swordsman and the archmage next to the Great Prince.
In particular, the sense of the prosecutor was so outstanding.
‘I’m finally alone!’
It was the day they dominated and infiltrated the humans in the Holy Land.
For some reason, Lord Daeshinseong came out alone.
There was no mana wall.
He was watching the night sky in the backyard with his hands behind his back.
It is a unique opportunity that will never come again.
“I heard that there have been suspicious movements lately, so it must be you.”
The Great Lord who discovered Damon, Reinhardt, said.
stupid guy
Did you know that you came out on your own, defenseless like this?
‘We ran into each other.’
In an instant, our eyes met.
Damon smiled.
At the same time, his power, Spirit Control, was activated.
Damon’s body slumped, and then he squeezed his mind into Reinhardt’s body.
“Whoops. I’m glad I’m dumber than I thought.”
Damon, who occupied Reinhardt’s body, smiled.
Now it’s time to destroy the North.
If you find out the secret of that potion and disband the monarchs so that Carlos can enter the Holy Land, your job is done.
“Well······?”
But soon I realized something was wrong.
Mind was being erased.
No, it is not erased.
‘Are you digging?’
I heard that he tried to occupy his mind in reverse.
Hastily gave up dominion over the body.
Even so, he stubbornly did not let go of himself.
‘How dare you take me away?’
Conversely, he tries to take himself away. He was a fool.
Damon returned to his original body after blocking everything.
If I had been a little late, I would have lost my mind or almost been erased.
Fast!
‘I don’t know what he’s doing, but he’s definitely the one who owns Epic.’
If he owned Epic, he would have the same powers as himself.
It also seemed to be a dominant authority similar to his own.
It’s been a while since Epic owners.
When I thought about that, I felt a little relieved.
Rather, it seemed to be fun to hunt.
‘I’ll definitely take it away next time.’
That body, and Epic too.
Damon shook his head and left the squeaky room and went down into the dungeon.
If the opponent has an Epic, you should prepare more thoroughly.
In an instant, Damon’s right eye spun around.
But Damon didn’t recognize him.
I didn’t know at all that my vision was being shared with Zero.
