Nanomachine Emperor - Nanomachine Emperor chapter 117
“It’s been a while, Your Majesty.”
“Cardinal Amir. and Lady Jasmine. Long time no see, both of you.”
Deus looked at the two women who came to represent the Holy Church and said.
And of the two women, Cardinal Amir was the heroine with the strongest ties to the empire.
Immaculate skin with no wrinkles even though she is old.
Even compared to 30 years ago, the face has not changed.
The ‘senior clergy’ of the Holy Church usually missed the times.
Besides, since we see each other several times a year, it hasn’t been long since we’ve seen each other.
However, Deus’ gaze was only fixed on Saint Jasmine.
‘The princess of Rigel Kingdom, and the saint of the Holy Church. It’s the first time since I was young.’
I remember seeing him with King Rigel more than ten years ago.

Jasmine was young at the time, but she was the owner of outstanding talent. To the extent that if he had been born as a man, the composition of the successor itself would have changed.
‘Yes… I ended up becoming a saint.’
If you were a saint of the Holy Church, you would be in a position comparable to that of a king of a decent kingdom.
Even if King Rigel was the loser of the East, if he was a saint, he wouldn’t be able to ignore it.
“As you’ve heard rumors, you know, the great devil has resurrected.”
Cardinal Amir lowered his head and opened his mouth cautiously.
Rumors spread from Rigel Kingdom.
Of course I knew.
“You mean the predecessor of the Demon Church?”
“Yes. We presume it to be the deadly sins, the head of the ‘Seven Deadly Sins’.”
“The seven deadly sins…”
seven deadly sins.
It means seven beings with seven sins.
In the past, when eradicating the Demon Church, he had killed a demon who called himself the Seven Deadly Sins.
At that time, the number of soldiers sacrificed reached tens of thousands. That was the number of people who died to catch a single demon.
But the deadly sins, the leaders of the Seven Deadly Sins, appeared.
“Saint Soma died fighting the deadly sins. ”
“If you are a Soma saintess, wouldn’t you be classified as a strong person even within the school?”
“Yes. That’s why we need the Empire’s cooperation.”
“There is no reason not to cooperate if it is to punish the Demonic Church.”
Deus nodded.
However, unlike the words, it was not comfortable inside.
‘Reinhardt’s words are troubling me.’
Saying that there is an insider of the Devil Church within the Holy Church.
Those two could have been the devil’s clique.
He could never tolerate the Demon Church that planned Reinhardt’s assassination within the palace.
“your majesty.”
At that time, Saint Jasmine, who had been silent, took out a long piece of drawing paper from her bosom.
“Do you know this person?”
A person’s face was drawn on the drawing paper.
A slim jawline and thick eyebrows. A man with black hair and a unique decadent atmosphere.
It’s a familiar face.
······ Reinhardt.
Why is Saint Jasmine holding out a drawing paper with the boy’s face on it?
“Well, should Jim know?”
“He is likely to be the ‘key person’ in relation to this incident. As a result of the inquiry in the imperial capital, it is said that Hwang Song-ha or Her Highness Reinhardt closely resembles her.”
“That’s bullshit.”
immediate answer.
Deus dismissed that nonsense as nonsense.
‘You’re trying to connect Reinhardt with the Devil’s Church.’
Archduke Carlos and the Demon Church are aiming for Reinhardt.
It couldn’t be like this if he didn’t intend to brand Reinhardt as a mortal criminal or a leader of the Devil Church.
The intention is clear.
‘Carlos is acting like this when he’s imprisoned.’
Deus was furious.
What was the reason they rushed to the empire as soon as Archduke Carlos was imprisoned?
What is the reason for running and holding out that picture!
“It’s unlikely that will ever happen, but if you let Her Highness the Crown Prince meet me face-to-face…”
“Shut up.”
“…!”
The eyes of Saint Jasmine and Cardinal Amir widened.
Deus, who was famous as the Holy King, cursed.
It was the first sight Amir had seen for decades.
But Deus’ anger was genuine.
“Listen, do you dare to insult the crown prince in front of me?”
Knowing that, Cardinal Amir urgently added.
“Me, Your Highness. That is not my intention.”
“Intent? Then what’s the point of talking nonsense like that?”
“It is to raise the honor of His Highness the Crown Prince. After clearing all suspicions, as the vanguard of punishing the Demon Church…”
“Disposition, punishment.”
“Wow, I don’t mean to punish His Highness the Crown Prince…”
“Shut up. There would be no collaboration between the Empire and the Holy Church. Also.”
Deus continued to speak with a hardened face.
“I’ve made Jim’s ears and eyes uncomfortable, so he won’t be able to go back easily.”
Cardinal Amir’s face became contemplative.
Because I never imagined it would turn out like this.
If it was Emperor Deus, who extremely dislikes having flaws, he knew how to pursue a face-to-face meeting with the crown prince in order to clear all doubts.
‘The rumor that the emperor started to favor the crown prince was true!’
The emperor’s favorite person is Launel.
There were rumors that it had recently been replaced with Reinhardt.
However, Cardinal Amir, who had seen the emperor for a long time, thought the rumors were not true. It was because the emperor had never failed to stand up for Crown Prince Reinhardt.
“I, we are the messengers of the Holy Church. There is no such law.”
“The state religion of the Empire is not a sacred religion. And here, baggage is the law.”
sereung.
The knights drew their swords and approached.
As if he was going to kill me if I didn’t comply.
Only then did Cardinal Amir blame himself for his mistake.
‘I can’t believe the emperor has changed so much in one year…’
the emperor has changed
To the point where I can’t even imagine being the same person as I was a year ago.
If you resist here, your throat will indeed be cut off.
The Emperor was no longer afraid of pretending to be with the Holy Cult.
I gained confidence. There is no hesitation in making enemies.
‘It was too hasty.’
Even if I regret it, it was too late.
Cardinal Amir and Saint Jasmine were taken captive like criminals.
Looking at the back of the two, Deus clicked his tongue.
“Where do you say such nonsense that Reinhardt has something to do with the Demon Church?”
There was no other nonsense like this.
It was absolutely nonsensical nonsense.
Deus sighed and shook his head.
“Where did you go? Like this damn guy.”

devildom.
Inside the thick fog, I finally entered.
Leaving behind the slaughtered giants, the interior of the Pandemonium was more intact than expected.
I knew that countless monsters would swarm and greet me.
‘Devil.’
They are smaller than the giants outside the veil, but they are demons with wings.
In an instant, demons surrounded the surroundings.
“What are you doing to cross over the ‘magic zone’?”
“human? I can smell humans and dark elves. And one… Hmm?”
“It must be delicious.”
They were salivating and looking at me, Arel, and Hela.
It really doesn’t see anything more than food.
Hella looked at the demons gathered around her and put her hand on her waist and said.
“Is this the demon realm?”
“The prey speaks. It must be proof that it is fresh.”
“Take me to the Great Sin Church. Because you have nothing to see.”
“Ask me to guide you to Mt. Cheon, you must be a cool guy with a fresh body but a broken head.”
The demons laughed.
As if the prey’s words, asking to be guided to Daesinkyo, were ridiculous.
“I don’t know how it crossed the Demon Zone, but it’s been 200 years since I’ve had fresh prey.”
“My eyes are mine!”
“I will eat the heart!”
It was something to be excited about.
The demons had been dismembering as if they had been starving for a long time and sharing parts to eat.
The number reached well into the hundreds.
“for a moment.”
Read at noblemtl.net
Just then, the one-eyed devil squeezed in with his eyes closed.
He looked at me for a while, then continued.
“He is the ‘successor’.”
The demons were startled.
“The successor?”
“yes. It also had close to fifty ‘names’. Even they are all ‘named’.”
“Named…!”
The demons were agitated.
It seemed to be referring to the runes of the demons that appeared when the Soma saint was killed.
The rune itself was fed to the Balrog, but the blessing of the name was being passed on to me.
But what about the name?
“What is your name?”
When I asked, the one-eyed demon said.
“Chosen prophets to tear down the wall and kill the false gods. We call them names. And you are inheriting the name of that name.”
Great devils who came over from the realm of demons.
Those who are defined as the evil of mankind are called prophets.
Killing a false god would mean killing the 12 gods.
When it became known that I had inherited their name, the mood among the demons turned gloomy.
“What kind of end did they meet?”
What kind of end did you meet?
He was killed by the soma saintess. Killed, eaten, and robbed of their powers, they were tossed around.
It is a hopeless and miserable end.
“I fought my best and died like a warrior.”
However, while inheriting their name, didn’t you feel their feelings as well?
If you disparage their deaths, you don’t deserve to inherit their names.
“is it······.”
The one-eyed demon swallowed his saliva.
“A successor to this number of names would surely be a savior who would save us. I came directly from beyond the wall, so I am neither prey nor an enemy.”
“Wilhelm. If you say so, it will be so.”
“i get it.”
The demons agreed.
Wilhelm. It seemed that the one-eyed demon was the highest ranked demon among the demons gathered here.
After they left, Wilhelm spoke to me again.
“He who came from beyond the wall. Is it true that you are going to the heavenly mountain?”
“If Daesinkyo is in a place called Cheonsan, yes.”
“The Demon Lords of Heaven Mountain do not like the human species. Even if you succeeded to the name, I would kill you as soon as I saw you. Why are you still going to Cheonsan?”
Demon King of Heaven?
Are you talking about the Seven Deadly Sins?
I pondered for a while. Cheonsan. It seemed that the demons’ perception of the Great Sin Church was not very good.
However, the primary goal was to bring Hella to the Sinic Church.
It was also an appointment with Silver Fang.
“Because I am the ‘Bride of a Deadly Sin’.”
It was Hella who answered.
Wilhelm’s expression hardened.
“The ‘bride of the deadly sin’… you mean the priestess of the heavenly mountain?”
Hella nodded.
“yes. I am that priestess.”
“… Is it true, Heir?”
I also replied by nodding my head.
Then Wilhelm grabbed his forehead.
“The demon realm will shake again. Heavenly Mountain’s priestess and heir who came from beyond the wall… Then, are you like a warrior escorting the priestess?”
“It’s pretty similar.”
If you say that you absorbed original sin, the main body of the deadly sins, you will not believe it.
I had no intention of saying anything. It’s because it’s likely to be scratched. It is not too late to investigate and reveal the state or situation of the Sinic Religion.
‘It doesn’t look very strong though.’
Wilhelm sighed inwardly.
I don’t know how he crossed the veil, but he seems weak as a successor.
There was nothing particularly special about the mana he felt.
Strong by human standards, but by their own standards, they were like newborn babies.
“Ha, good. I will guide you. If not, you will be attacked countless times in the middle.”
Still, if she was really a priestess, she needed to take her to Cheonsan.
If weak human beings go to Cheonsan by themselves, one hundred out of a hundred will die on the way, so what can be said?

Wilhelm was quite promising even among demons.
The demons who recognized him politely bowed their heads.
But I couldn’t stand the question.
“Are the giants beyond the wall demons like you?”
“If you’re asking if it’s the same species as the devil… that’s right. They are the ‘named’ who can’t overcome hunger and desire and go out of their way.”
It means that if the named is runaway, it will become gigantic.
As soon as the curtain of lightning was lifted, the runaway names lost their reason and ran and were hunted by the dragons.
“A runaway name becomes a ‘ghost’ state. Demons are weapons that exist only for killing. Because I have no reason, I can never handle it, so I drove it to the wall.”
Wilhelm made a confused expression.
‘Towers’ placed everywhere.
The demons were imprisoned inside the thick-walled tower.
It’s normal to be stationary while locked up, but some demons broke the tower and the wall and started a rampage.
“I don’t know why the lightning curtain in the ‘Evil Zone’ was lifted, but because of that, the demons started going crazy. The first thing to do is to fix this place. so······.”
Guaaa!
Kurleung! aaa!
In an instant, lights flashed all over the place.
“Damn it.”
The thick wall was destroyed and the demon appeared.
A demon in the form of a giant.
It is also more than twice as big as the other demons.
A super-giant type that is likely to be 20m long.
Wilhelm crumpled his forehead.
“For a ‘hematoma’ to wake up…! be careful.”
The demon called Hematoma screamed and started running like crazy.
“Ah!”
“Stop!”
Other demons blocked it, but it was helpless.
In terms of size and strength, it was no longer an opponent.
Soon, a black aura swayed from Wilhelm’s body. The aura inflated Wilhelm’s entire body and wrapped it like armor.
“Big!”
In that state, Wilhelm, who collided with the hematoma, managed to hold the hematoma by the leg to stop it, but it was not enough.
hematoma.
This super-giant goblin, which is rare even in the Pandemonium, has been sleeping for a long time.
I couldn’t figure out why the guy who was quiet even when the curtain was closed suddenly woke up.
Unstoppable.
If he goes on a rampage, this area will be devastated.
“Heir, run away…”
“Stop.”
Pop!
That was the moment.
Wilhelm’s eyes were stained with bewilderment.
successor. Because when he told me to stop, the hematoma really stopped.
The demon is a runaway name. It was the orthodoxy that it could never be dealt with.
Even the hematoma was one of the few monsters among those demons. It was a disaster.
Such a monster stopped at the words of that human.
‘What?’
I couldn’t understand for a moment.
how this happened
‘Dragons?’
is it a dragon?
Only the hateful dragon can handle the power of words.
However, the successor was clearly a human.
How could a human use the dragon’s power?
That’s enough power to stop a hematoma.
‘Evil demons won’t work.’
Above all, demons do not have the power of dragons.
If it’s a hematoma, it’s powerful enough to chew through quite a few uses.
In the first place, the blood species was an existence that became a demon due to the demon king’s rampage.
It was also said that it was impossible to deal with demons, but there were very few of them.
A person who handles demons.
And they are all called that.
‘Devil······.’
