evolutionary nucleus.
A collection of all kinds of bugs caused by the Bone Dragon.
It was a collection of the dragon’s desire to evolve and gain uniqueness.
It is the nucleus that promotes evolution, devouring everything and changing it.
It was certainly not a normal thing to see such a change in such a short time.
“I feel an ominous aura.”
Arell held back.
Instinct was screaming that it was dangerous.
Because she was sharper than anyone else when it comes to death, she was able to read the ominousness of that core at once.
‘It’s ominous. Indeed it is.’
However, I was curious.

Just by absorbing this core, Zero was saying that the administrator’s authority would rise.
top secret. A chance to peek into Zero’s hidden secret!
‘It’s on a different level from the nanomachines I’ve absorbed so far.’
It is far from simply runaway nanomachines.
Different nanomachines came together with different commands to create a huge bug called ‘evolution’.
I imitated the dragon’s desire, Damon’s life, and ‘Gluttony’ through me. This nucleus itself continued to evolve.
So, by nature, it is an uncontrollable force.
Suddenly, I was curious.
What would have happened if the Bone Dragon had been left as it was?
After devouring all the monsters in the mountain range, he could have been selected for a feat and went to war with other dragons.
However, what I was more curious about was the contents of Zero’s ‘Top Secret’.
“master?”
Despite Arel’s disapproval, I boldly grabbed the core of evolution.
Soon after, the core broke with a crackling sound and began to emit black smoke.
Smoke spread through my hands, shoulders, chest, and body.
[The ‘Evolutionary Core’ has been absorbed.]
[The administrator’s authority has been upgraded to level 3.]
[The ‘Top Secret’ area is unlocked.]
[Your access to ‘Eden Project’ has been granted.]

“That nanomachine is not a fundamental solution, Dr. Moonsik Park.”
Inside the science facility, two scientists are arguing.
Moonsik Park. It was the name of the doctor who made Zero at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology.
Park Moon-sik, a gray-haired doctor, immediately shook his head.
“Zero is designed to value basic human rights. Although it may take time, it will lead humanity in a better direction.”
“Humanity has been almost annihilated since the nuclear war. Humanity is wrong. To break this fundamental vicious circle, the whole system needs to be tweaked.”
“Is that the ‘Eden Project’?”
“Yes. The Alpha and Beta I created will save the world. Alpha as the coordinator, Beta as the enforcer.”
“You really don’t see how risky it is to leave the world to AI?”
“At least it will be better than the present mankind. The vested interests who launched the nuclear weapons fled to space, saying that they would live alone, and those who remained are living in this hell of abjection. Ideal logic is good, but do you think this is a normal world?”
Dr. Moonsik Park swallowed his saliva.
He was his best disciple. A genius scientist who conceived and created Zero together. However, the goals they were aiming for were completely different.
Dr. Moonsik Park believed that humanity should be given a choice.
However, his disciple says that the world is doomed now that humanity has been given a choice, and that the entire system needs to be tweaked.
Eden Project.
It is to create an excellent artificial intelligence and entrust all human judgment to him.
However, no one knows what kind of catastrophe will happen the moment artificial intelligence is given autonomous will. That autonomous will without any restrictions could have been erased by judging that mankind is a vermin of the earth.
“Thank you so much, doctor.”
In the end, the disciples left because their goals were so different.
Since then, the world has undergone radical changes.
The new base district created by the student started to run only by machines and artificial intelligence.
Their belief was to mechanize mankind, and to overcome this hell by coexisting with machines and humans.
Such a radical idea was bound to inevitably be met with a backlash.
War came again, but the result was a disastrous defeat for mankind.
Humanity lost by 99% due to nuclear war. There was no jaw to overcome the monsters of mechanized artificial intelligence.
Humanity, having lost all power to resist, has been subjected to artificial intelligence.
Afterwards, Alpha and Beta began to purify the world by creating a world tree.
The World Tree constantly produces and emits nanomachines, and injects the ‘nucleus of evolution’, which is accidentally created, into humans so that they can adapt to the new world.
Most died in the process, but those who survived evolved to be able to use even the nanomachines in their bodies.
It was the beginning of a new world.
*
“If you look at the results, it might look good. As a result, the Earth has been purified, and mankind has adapted.”
pure white space.
Dr. Moonsik Park was talking while looking at the huge culture tube.
“But humanity has been castrated out of ‘possibility’. They have lost the possibility of evolving on their own, the roots that can branch out in many directions.”
Humans are animals that evolve and develop.
But that progress has been blocked by artificial intelligence.
Even areas of the brain.
“It is because artificial intelligence has minimized the function of the ‘creation area’ of the human brain. However, if it was blocked, humanity would not have been able to become the master of the earth from the beginning.”
Original humans could use all brain areas.
However, after being castrated by artificial intelligence, an invasion of the creative realm occurred.
The problem is that after that, unpredictable phenomena began to occur.
“Although the development of science may be slow, it has started to evolve in a different way. Humans themselves have gained power beyond machines by utilizing the energy of nanomachines.”
Those who use and utilize nanomachines to maximize the power of the body appeared.
The phenomenon was like magic.
Even artificial intelligence would not have predicted this direction of evolution.
“If artificial intelligence knows that it is out of control, it will eventually try to wipe out the human race. In order to prevent that, to return mankind to the full ownership of the earth…”
Dr. Moonsik Park put his hand on the culture tube.
Inside the clear liquid. There was ‘Zero’ in it, where there was only liquid.
“I had no choice but to reset zero. Alpha and Beta were also products of Zero. The only way to control them is Zero.”
Beep! Beep!
A red alarm sounded throughout the laboratory.
This is humanity’s last treasure trove.
It was the only safe haven for the few surviving humans.
However, in the end, even this sanctuary was discovered by artificial intelligence.
Kieeck!
oh oh oh!
Dragons appeared.
The dragons that killed the survivors in an instant broke through the door to the lab.
Dr. Moonsik Park looked at one of the dragons and said.
“Do you believe there is a God?”
*
······ Are you asking me?
For a moment, I felt as if I had met eyes with Dr. Moonsik Park.
“Are you okay?”
When I came to my senses, I was on Arel’s lap.
It must have absorbed the core of evolution and passed out.
“How much time has passed?”
“About half a day has passed.”
Hearing the answer, he stood up and shook his head.
To have a headache. It must be because of the memory of Dr. Park Moon-shik, whom he just saw.
Looking up at the sky, it was already evening.
I crumpled this meat.
‘It’s the Eden Project.’
top secret.
About the Eden Project.
It was not a very pleasant story that humans who were annihilated by nuclear war were once again subjugated by artificial intelligence.
In addition, we obtained information that Zero is an early model of Alpha and Beta.
The ability to control both is contained within Zero.
Also, by the core of evolution, mankind has achieved radical evolution.
It was not evolution driven by natural selection, but steeply engineered evolution.
If so, it could have been much less than the ‘150,000 years for evolution’ that Zero said.
‘Are Alpha and Beta aware of Zero’s existence?’
Zero is not simply a nanomachine for the healing of mankind. It was a nanomachine reset to control Alpha and Beta.
It is probably for that reason that Zero can fully handle artificial intelligence.
It is because all the ‘epics’ of today are nanomachines created from the world tree created by Alpha and Beta. Going back, after all, the first nanomachine was Zero.
Also, since dragons invaded the laboratory, there was a possibility that they knew about Zero.
However, given that Zero existed, there was a possibility that he was unaware of it.
It’s really half and half.
Of course, if Alpha and Beta noticed, I would be the first target for elimination.
A being that must be killed.
‘It’s not about why Zero was in my head.’
Zero was in the lab until the dragons invaded.
Even if it was eaten by one of those dragons, it still doesn’t explain why Zero was in my head.
No… If that’s the least possibility, it would be the first emperor who founded the empire.
I inherited Zero from generation to generation, but should I say that Zero was implemented in my generation?
‘Do you believe in God?’
Even if it is, it is still not even a clue about ‘space-time regression’.
It is impossible to turn back time and space.
If it is the Twelve Gods that rule the world, they are nothing more than artificial intelligence created after all.
He is also a product of science, so it makes no sense to regress time and space.
So, because of zero, did I simulate future events?
no.
The future I experienced was something that actually existed.
It’s not an illusion or an illusion.
‘If there is an existence that brought me back to the past, that must be a real god.’
So, if there is an existence that caused space-time regression, that existence must be a real god.
I answered Dr. Moonsik Park’s question.
“Believe.”
“What do you mean you believe?”
“I believe in myself and in you.”
“…”
Arel lost her words at the sudden noise and looked at me blankly.

The bone dragon, which had returned to its original form, was retrieved to subspace and returned to the palace.
A large number of search teams were dispatched from nearby estates, so they couldn’t stay longer.
“Wherever you went, are you coming back now, Your Highness?”
Upon entering the palace, Croft was there.
I took off my pretense.
“I went for a little walk.”
“You mean a walk outside the system?”
“Hmm, weren’t you busy with the territory?”
After returning to the palace, Croft has been busy without paying attention.
It was because I decided that I couldn’t stay as a shadow any longer.
Croft received a new title and territory and entered the central political world in earnest.
The opposition from the nobility was less than expected.
Archduke Carlos was focusing on the truce of the Northern Expedition, Archduke Persephone was not interested in the first place, and the remaining nobles were also in a bloody state due to the ‘Express Prisoner Incident’.
The empresses had no time to worry about Croft since they were being harassed by the nobles.
‘The incident is covered by a bigger incident.’
Croft sighed.
“Recently, the system has been abuzz with the story of Your Highness.”
“If you commit a crime, you must be punished.”
“majesty. Are you thinking of reinstating Eugene?”
Again, Croft.
knew me too well
It seemed that he had already noticed that Eugene was hiding inside the palace.
“Is there a problem? Do you know that Eugene blamed the crime?”
He was imprisoned for creating an innocent crime.
In the end, all the royal treasures were also returned.
Even so, he was put in the prison camp because he wanted to.
Croft asked worriedly.
“Will the current Imperial Palace Wizard stay still?”
Current Imperial Palace Wizard, Generic.
He was called one of the ‘three greatest wizards’ who were close to the 9th circle, and he was in charge of the relationship between the Imperial Palace’s barrier and other magic towers.
I shrugged.
“Aren’t you from Carlos’s side anyway? Besides, the palace’s barrier has been breached twice recently, right? He is not qualified to be an Imperial Palace Wizard.”
“Isn’t it all the work of Your Highness…”
As Croft said, I pierced them both times.
I knew the vulnerability of the barrier.
Caliburn, and as the Holy Lord.
However, it is clear that it was pierced twice without a thread. There is no choice but to raise doubts about his qualifications as an imperial palace wizard.
It was something that had never happened when Eugene was an imperial palace wizard.
“If Your Highness moves directly, there will be great resistance from the nobles and the imperial family. Ha-ni, I will promote Yujin’s reinstatement.”
The nobles are still keeping a close eye on them.
If I directly ask for Eugene’s reinstatement, of course there will be a strong backlash.
Because the empresses wouldn’t want my power to grow within the palace.
The same goes for Croft.
I, who happened to be in charge of the special prisoner unit, accidentally reinstates Eugene, who was in it? Or is Croft pushing for reinstatement?
It was like advertising that only Croft was mine.
“You don’t have to step out.”
“Hao, do you have insight?”
“I got over it twice, but if it gets pierced a third time, he will have no choice but to take off his clothes.”
“Are you saying you’re going to break through the barrier again?”
“no. Other guys, not me, will destroy it on their own.”
Croft’s expression hardened.
In other words, it was the sound that the palace was being attacked.
I looked up at the sky.
“Croft. Aren’t the stars really bright?”
“…?”
*
It was not just simple information that was obtained by the elevation of the administrator’s authority.
‘Zero’s real ability starts from level 3.’
Zero’s true hidden function.
I looked up at the night sky.
Toxic bright star clusters.
The world of that star is called ‘Valhalla’, and people thought that the souls of great heroes dwell in the stars.
It is a story so common that sometimes there are certain religions that honor humans who have inherited the power of the stars as ‘constellations’.
‘It’s an artificial satellite.’
However, no one knew that the constellation was an artificial satellite.
