Chapter 249
The scenery of Saxony’s Viscountcy faded away, revealing a realm that existed solely for the two of them.
A white and dark winter night.
There, wrapped in the armor of the dark cavern, stood the Shadow Lord.
Alongside Shuv, the ancient Mother of Darkness who loved humanity.
Facing him was another version of himself, the otherworldly hero and mightiest monster hunter. With Sistina, the artificial goddess who loved humans, he claimed the title of Golden Lord.
“So this was the true nature of mana?”
Facing his own shadow, Dale asked.
“The swarm of nanomachines that devoured our planet and still fill the atmosphere.”
“……”
“Over countless eons, Sistina discovered a way to control the nanomachines in the atmosphere. She then began to restore the shattered land by resonating with them. The ‘mana’ filling the atmosphere is a force that responds to the powerful thoughts of sentient beings, constructing specific materials.”
Terraforming, planetary modification. The title of Goddess of Mercy and Compassion was no lie.
The true form of the power that people in this world call magic.
Highly advanced science cannot be distinguished from magic. It was truly as the saying went.
“Thus, the elves, a race of magic optimized for resonance with nanomachines, were born. Through that power, the elves covered the earth with forests and trees, breathing life into dead lands. That is how the Second Empire, said to be the most powerful, came into being.”
