Nano Mashin

The young man in his early thirties called Chun Issa was the descendant who gave him the 7th generation Nano Machine.

Chun Yeowun had seen the video inside Nano, and there was no way he wouldn’t recognize him.

‘Chun Issa?’

Issa meant Director, a position in the Sky Corporation, his company.

But with that one short word itself, he inferred a lot.

‘What? Maybe, all the information related to our company put into the Nano Machine was…’

It was strange how he was being referred to as that.

It was natural that he was puzzled. The one from the future didn’t even know what was recorded into the Nano Machine.

‘This is crazy. Did something go wrong?’

He had gone through a lot to come there.

His first plan had also gone awry, and he didn’t think that their meeting would take such a long time.

Knowing that the North Sea Ice Palace was located on Olkhon Island in Russia, he thought he knew the exact location and would see Chun Yeowun there.

But when he had reached the North Sea Ice Palace, the palace was being rebuilt.

Thanks to that, he had a hard time tracking Chun Yeowun down.

He only managed to arrive here after being caught by ‘them’ several times.

‘Is it possible that the Blade Six is involved?’

Otherwise, it was strange for Chun Yeowun to know his identity.

It was a moment’s wonder, and Director Chun was on the verge of suffocation.

“Cough, hand… unhand me…”

Srrrk!

“Haaa…”

When Chun Yeowun learned of his identity, he held back from crushing his neck.

But he didn’t completely let go.

Although he was his descendant, he couldn’t figure out why he did that.

“Why did you aim at Mun Ku?”

It was absolutely unforgivable.

“Haahaa… I wasn’t aiming… I was trying to put her to sleep with an anesthetic gun.”

“Anesthetic gun?”

Nano's voice was heard in Chun Yeowun’s ears.

[As a result of analysis, it is recognized as an anesthetic needle from the TG-3100 firearm.]

Woong!

In the augmented reality field of view, the image of the needle Chun Yeowun had caught earlier, and its information was all written down.

‘What the hell is a gun?’

He roughly knew what anesthesia meant.

It meant that it was an act or product which could cause loss of consciousness or sensation. But he didn’t know what a gun meant.

[It’s a weapon that fires something using exploding gunpowder. The method is present in the system.]

He had no interest in that exploding gunpowder.

However, it seemed to follow the same logic as firing a shell.

In any case, it was clear that the purpose of his descendant wasn’t to harm Mun Ku but to put her to sleep.

“Then why did you want to put her to sleep?”

“That…”

Tatak!

Before Director Chun could say anything, Mun Ku appeared.

With eyes of wonder, she asked.

“Lord, this man is?”

Chun Yeowun was momentarily speechless at her question.

He was at a loss for how to explain.

He couldn’t say that he was a descendant who appeared from the future but tried to put Mun Ku to sleep.

At that moment, Chun Yeowun heard a telepathic message from Director Chun.

[This is why I was trying to put her to sleep. I don’t have much time. Could you ask your follower to step back?]

‘Follower?’

Chun Yeowun’s eyes rose.

Perhaps it wasn’t written in the Sky Demon Order’s records, but the descendant didn’t seem to know who Mun Ku was.

“Lord, shall I subdue him and take him away?”

At Mun Ku’s words, Chun Yeowun’s expression hardened.

It just had to be when the two of them were talking about the most important thing in their lives.

However, this situation couldn’t be overlooked.

Chun Yeowun was full of regret but thought that the situation couldn’t be helped. He looked at her and spoke in a soft voice.

“Mun Ku.”

“Yes, Lord.”

“If I understood what you said before correctly, then today is the happiest day of my life.”

“Ahhh! T-That!”

At Chun Yeowun’s words, Mun Ku’s face turned tomato red.

She was too flustered and shy, as she kept waving her hand back and forth.

He stroked her hair with his left hand and spoke with the same soft tone.

“I’m sorry, but is it okay if we get back to it at a later time?”

At Chun Yeowun’s softer than usual words, Mun Ku nodded with a red face.

She might have been a little disappointed, but when he spoke like that, it felt like Chun Yeowun considered her very important, and she felt grateful.

“I have something to talk about with this person, so go down with the cultists first.”

“Will you be fine?”

Chun Yeowun had just recovered and was seriously injured just two hours ago.

She didn’t want to leave Chun Yeowun alone like that.

“Do not worry. This man isn’t dangerous.”

“… understood. Lord. But please be careful. The strange clothes somehow… I think he’s a suspicious person.”

‘Suspicious?’

It was her opinion as she looked at the clothes of the descendant, who was still being held by the neck.

Anyone who saw that outfit would be wary.

“You! If you do any harm to my lord, you will never get out of this place alive.”

“… yes, yes.”

Director Chun reluctantly responded to Mun Ku’s warning.

After giving that warning, Mun Ku descended Changbai Mountain towards the torches which were moving.

When her presence was completely gone,

Thud!

“Ugh!”

Director Chun, who was out of Chun Yeowun’s grip, hurt his butt as he landed on the ground.

Director Chun shook his head and clicked his tongue.

Although his ancestors in the distant past were well versed in martial arts, unlike the Director’s current time, Chun Yeowun was still a monster.

‘To become a monster in just four or five years.’

He did inject the Nano Machine for this to happen, but it was still amazing.

He never imagined that his stealth mode would be discovered by both the former Lord Chun Yujong and current Lord Chun Yeowun.

Stealth mode didn’t just block vision, it could also hide the energy emitted from the body, but he never expected to be found this easily.

Director Chun tried to put his hand into the square bag hanging from his waist.

Whoa!

“What?”

But then his hand stopped before he could put it into the bag.

He was stopped by profound energy.

“What do you think you’re doing?”

Director Chun looked up with bewildered eyes at Chun Yeowun, and said.

“… I don’t mean to harm you. I just have something to check.”

Chun Yeowun, who was looking at the man with suspicious eyes, retracted the energy.

As the hand moved, Director Chun felt amazed.

Even Director Chun, who was a skilled man in his time, couldn’t restrain an opponent’s movement with his internal energy.

‘Time moved forwards, but we are going backwards.’

It was a shame.

But it was unavoidable.

Only the Blade Six Group had mastered proper martial arts in their time.

Director Chun pulled something out of the bag.

Seeing that, Chun Yeowun’s eyes lit up.

‘What is that?’

It looked like something from the future that Nano had shown him.

It was strange. There was a printed image on a square-shaped object which was the size of a palm.

Director Chun pressed the image on the square box a few times with his thumb, and a strange sound came out of it.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

“Ah!”

Seeing that, Director Chun exhaled a breath of relief.

All he was holding was a device that could track down the 7th generation Nano Machine.

He took it out to check if there was a Nano Machine in Chun Yeowun’s body.

It was because he was concerned that the Blade Six had noticed that and had come to the past to do something.

‘H-How did he find and use the Gatelinium Nano Machine?’

It was a very lucky situation.

But there were unsolved questions.

Standing up, Director Chun spoke.

“How do you know me?”

He believed that remembering faces in a state of confusion was possible.

But knowing his position in the present didn’t make sense.

To that, Chun Yeowun said calmly.

“I saw it in a video of Nano. A man called Dr. Baek called you Chun Issa.”

“Video recording? The lab was being recorded. Ahh!”

As his question had been resolved, Director Chun nodded his head.

‘Dr. Baek must have forgotten to delete or lock the video.’

That could be possible.

If so, it was natural that Chun Yeowun knew his post.

Chun Yeowun spoke to him.

“Even so, I have a lot of questions for you. You gave me Nano…”

“Nano? Are you referring to the Nano Machine?”

“Yes.”

At Chun Yeowun’s affirmation, Director Chun grabbed his stomach and laughed.

“Puahahahaah! Nano! When you said Nano, I immediately thought you were talking about the Nano Machine, but you refer to it as if it’s a person.”

“What’s so funny?”

Chun Yeowun felt uncomfortable and frowned.

“Hmph!”

Director Chun suppressed his laugh immediately.

When he saw Chun Yeowun five years ago, he was just a boy, but now, the sense of intimidation that Chun Yeowun gave him was far stronger than his father, Chairman Chun, could give.

“Anyway, Chun Issa, why did you give…”

“Hold up. I am really sorry, but my name isn’t Chun Issa.”

“What?”

“Chun Issa is like a position. In today’s terms, it’s a position like an elder.”

An easy-to-understand explanation, Chun Yeowun nodded, making sure he understood it.

“Then what is your name?”

“This is a late introduction. If you have seen the video, you probably noticed my identity to some extent, so I’ll tell you everything without hiding.”

Tak!

The descendant bowed on one knee and took the position any cultist would take to pay respects to their Lord.

“I would like to extend my greetings to my ancestor, the Slashing Demon Emperor, 24th Lord of the Sky Demon Order. I am the eldest son of Chun Mu-jin, the one hundred and seventeenth head of the great Sky Demon Order, Chun Mu-seong.”

It was a polite greeting, but Chun Yeowun’s eyebrows rose.

He was puzzled.

“… that isn’t my title.”

“Ah! It looks like you haven’t gotten the nickname yet. You’ll be called the Slashing Demon Emperor soon.”

The descendant who identified himself as Chun Mu-seong said that with certainty.

This was a completely different history from what he knew, and he didn’t know that the title didn’t change.

“I’m saying that it isn’t the title…”

“I’m sorry for interrupting my great ancestor. I really can’t stay in one place for long, so can I talk first?”

Chun Mu-seong was looking impatient.

Chun Yeowun sighed and nodded his head.

In a way, he was angry when his words were cut off, but this man was the descendant from the future who saved his life.

Chun Mu-seong rose and said.

“Firstly, I would like to apologize once again for trespassing into my ancestor’s life and for this.”

“What?”

At that time, Chun Mu-seong pressed the video screen, which he was holding with his thumb.

“7th generation Nano Machine take the orders of Chun Mu-seong, your master. Temporarily restrain the user’s body.”

‘!?’

Beep! Beep!

[The command has been sent to the 7th generation Nano machine. The command right has been assigned to Master ID rather than the user.]

A voice similar to Nano’s echoed from the device.

When Chun Yeowun frowned and wondered, Chun Mu-seong spoke with a sorry face.

“Sorry. Ancestor. I don’t have much time as I am being pursued by ‘them’. To be here, I had no other choice but to move on to Plan B because I was using the space portal, which ran out of battery after every jump.”

“What does that even mean?”

Chun Yeowun asked with narrowed eyes.

At that, Chun Mu-seong smiled while placing his hands together.

“I want to tell you everything honestly, but nothing good happens when people from the past know the future. I will never harm you, so please be patient.”

He held out the device towards Chun Yeowun and said.

“Move all the data that was analyzed in the user’s body to the Master ID controller. Copy all the information about martial arts and internal energy usage that have been saved as data.”

[Sending commands to the 7th generation Nano machine.]

The corners of Chun Mu-seong’s lips went up.

This was his second plan.

It was believed that as long as there was information that was being collected in the Nano Machines, it could be converted into data, and when back in the future, he could utilize it.

“Please wait a minute, it will be do… uh?”

Chun Mu-seong’s eyes widened as he looked at the screen on the device.

[Error! Error! Commands not sent to the 7th generation Nano Machine.]

“What. Try again.”

[Error! Error!]

The text ‘error’ was displayed on the screen.

Chun Mu-seong couldn’t understand.

“No way! I ordered it with my Master ID… kuk!”

Woong!

Before he could finish his words, Chun Mu-seong caught his breath as he floated into the air.

Unbelievable, Chun Mu-seong’s eyes trembled.

Apparently, Chun Yeowun had to be restrained because of the Master ID command, but Chun Yeowun was coming towards him.

‘No way, how could this happen?’

Chun Yeowun spoke to him, who was bewildered in a cold voice.

“You will regret it if you don’t give me a compelling reason for this. Descendant.”
