While listening to Corpse who's happily doing an explanation in front of a 200-meter class battleship, I catch sight of something interesting outside the window.
"Is that perhaps a railroad?"
"Ou, that's right. It was the main cause that made me got pursued by the god."
It seems Corpse was reincarnated as a prince of a small country 3000 years ago. He built one of the great empire in the continent at the time with the unique skills and military knowledge that he had, but--
"For the sake of stable goods' circulation and information network in the empire, I created radio towers and railroad system but....It seems to have infuriated the god, you see."
Rice-producing regions were consumed by swarms of locust, drought happened, natural disasters like earthquake and volcano assailed like they were in bargain sales.
--There's a limit to even absurdness.
The empire endured for 10 years even with such states, but an oracle conveyed that the cause was the technologies that Corpse had made, so the empire was split and he was assassinated.
Although, he had surmised that before the assassin came, so he had prepared the ritual to become [King Mummy] beforehand.
"Even with this body, the apostles of gods kept persistently chased after me. They finally stopped, that was as long as I live a secluded life deep in the labyrinth as the condition."
When Armor heard that, he laughed like he was yawning.
"This guy held all of mankind hostages ya know? He made a mountain heap of nuclear weapons, 『Don't come after me if you don't want mankind destroyed』 he said."
I thought it was a joke, but since Corpse snorted like like he was cranky, without denying it, it's probably a true story.
Threatening the god sounds absurd. As expected of the man who built an empire in one generation.
According to him, the gods used their miracle to transform all radioactive materials that could become the main component into lead, so mining them is impossible in this world.
Since even his unique skill [Metal Creation] can't create Uranium nor Plutonium, there's no nuclear weapon that remains now.
Good, I wouldn't want a fantasy world to have nuclear winter.
I wanted to make nuclear reactor with magic tools, but it seems to be impossible.
Hydrogen exist, so I probably can emulate nuclear fusion by altering it into deuterium, but the god might chase me too if I make it.
I've got the proof of the Dog-head demon lord's story in an unexpected place.
It seems that interferes will come if someone is going to greatly advance the civilization.
That was dangerous since I had planned to make a railroad made of stone in order to improve the circulation of goods.
In exchange of giving Corpse all kinds of magic metal he wanted, I got several blueprints and books from him, and then we left his museums behind.
