Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 182

 

Chapter 182: Decomposer



The clouds are so thick tonight that we can't see the moonlight.


We decide it's too dangerous to ride in the dark, so we set up camp outside.


"Fire, it's lit"


"I understand. Wince, can I leave the rest to you?"


"Are you going to tell Julius about blue water?"


"Yeah."


"Okay, I'll do it."


I sat across the fire with Julius


"Then I'll explain the details. But you have to promise me something."


"What?"


"This is just a secondhand knowledge. I didn't figure it out myself, so don't believe it too much."


"Okay, please explain."


I took a deep breath and start talking


"Julius, do you know the mad soldier?"


"Never heard of it."


"They appeared just before the collapse of the continent... and they attacked, raped, impregnated... and multiplied endlessly."


"Is it about the murderer people?"


Apparently, he knew about them.


"Is that what they call it here?"


"Where do they call them that?"


"Berdreich. The country to the north of here."


"Hmm. And?"


"The blue water you touched. If people drink too much of it, they'll turn into murderer people."


"You're not joking, are you...?"


I'm serious.


While crawling up from underground for 10 years


Ginkei provided this information.


"You don't know about nanomachines, do you?"


"No. What are they?"


"They're man-made bugs so small you can't see them."


"Can't see? It's hard to believe."


"Nothing strange about a creature as small as that. They spoil food, they cause disease. It's all done by creatures so small you can't even see them."


"Then that... nanomachine? What's the difference?"


"They follow the orders of those who fulfill the conditions."


And the order given to the nanomachines


[Decompose all matter.]


"If a man is decomposed, will he become murderer people?"


"No, the creators of the nanomachines didn't think that far ahead."


According to Ginkei, the creator of this nanomachine is Elfriade.


Prelati only activated it


But the activation was also incomplete.


What was unexpected here was Elfriade's high technological prowess


The scary thing is that the nanomachines began to learn to do what they were told in their imperfect state.


As a result, the nanomachines changed their own orders


[Biological modification by parasitizing life capable of self-sustaining action]


[Infection spread to other organisms via the host's bodily fluids]


[Decomposition starts all at once in areas that meet a certain density]


"Nanomachine biomodification extends to the brain"


"This is crazy. Elfriade was supposed to be a sacred existence."


Apparently, there are people in Geldaria who believe in Elfriade's civilization.


As Julius listens to the story, his face turns pale.


"Blue water is actually a mass of nanomachines. 10% water, 90% nanomachines."


"Ah, am I going to be okay?"


"As long as you don't want to fuck or eat Wince or Sedona, you'll be fine."


"I-I see. Then I'm safe."


"What do you mean by [safe]! It's rude not to be excited by such a beautiful girl!"


You're old enough to be a girl


"Aren't you my wife?"


"That's right? What are you talking about, Shiro-san?"


Don't answer a question with a question.


"What would you do if someone tried to hit on you right in front of me?"


"First, I would kick him in the balls with my toes! Until I feel a snap."


Wouldn't that be too outrageous, Wince-san?


"Then, while he's suffering, I'll rip open the sack with a knife."


""Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!!""


Julius and I clutch our crotches just hearing her say that.


"Lastly, I'm going to rip his testicles out of the sack!"


That's not right, Wince.


No matter how you look at it, that's not how a beautiful girl (self-proclaimed) should behave!


And Julius' face is even paler than when he heard about the nanomachine.


"Don't you have a human heart?"


"Eh? No, this is how you castrate a pig, right?"


"Seriously?"


"I’m serious. Ah, the target is the balls. First, you have to rip the sack open with a knife..."


"That's okay!! You don't have to tell me!"


We are no longer talking about nanomachines


"Cough*! In other words, that village."


"I'm guessing they drank the blue water and went somewhere else."


"What about the eleven corpses?"


"Killed by the blue water crazies. That's not a good explanation."


"If they were killed, it wouldn't explain the peaceful look on their faces."


Either way, we don't have enough information.


"Hey?"


"What?"


"Nanomachine? It is moving under orders to decompose everything, right?"


"That's right. Did you notice it?"


"I see, the final goal of decomposing is..."


Yes


What is the purpose of Elfriade's nanomachines?


Is the decomposition of this world.
