Chapter 1005: 104 Chapter 1005: 104 Capital City – Fate Fortress.

Ed Louis’s figure gradually coalesced inside the Door of Fate, forming an expression of relief as he emerged from the “Door of Fate.”

The area was already crowded with staff members eager to know whether the real node had been secured.

However, Ed did not respond at all, instead freeing a strong data domain, creating a pathway to leave the fortress alone.

He met with Tesla and his associates waiting outside the fortress.

Data lines emanated from Ed, entangling the group and connecting to the roadside cables… whoosh! The contact transformed everyone into data, transferring them back to his office in the form of data transmission.

Tesla knelt on one knee to admit their mistake immediately.

“Manager Ed, it was our fault, we had already considered the possibility of a problem in the Energy Zone, but…”

Ed, with a relaxed smile, promptly served several cups of precious Blue Mountain Coffee, “It’s great that you were willing to stay and help.

Besides, the failure of the war is my problem, not yours.

I called you here because there’s something else.”

“Huh?”

Tesla had thought Manager Ed came to lay blame.

After all, if they had found Han Dong in the Energy Zone, the outcome of the war might have changed.

“I’ve said from the beginning that the real node is precious, but compared to your lives, it’s not worth much.

Besides, I’ve already made the most of it, gaining many things I wanted through the node, with almost no losses besides the fixed points it provided.

Passing it on to a more suitable human than myself is a perfect ending.”

Ed, when evaluating Han Dong, used ‘a more suitable human,’ which greatly surprised Tesla… unclear about what had transpired between them.

“I called you here because I need you to corroborate a story, to state that Novikov’s death was of natural causes.

I have confirmed Novikov’s conspiracy with Nicholas… the man deserved to die, and there’s no need to provoke a conflict with the Holy City over such a scoundrel.”

“This… Professor Novikov’s character indeed had issues, but…”

Just then.

The pristine and smooth ground suddenly turned into millions of data cables, wildly releasing the ‘data domain,’ even giving the sensation of transforming Tesla and others into data programs.

The pressure from the senior engineer caused the four people to sweat profusely.

In the Capital City, Ed Louis was still very influential.

“No buts… this is my decision.

If you think you made a mistake inside the pyramid, then compensate me with this.

I also know you are puzzled about why I would help someone involved with the Demons.

I have verified that this person is human… and not a bad one at that, certainly much better than Novikov.”

After speaking, the field retracted.

“All right, Manager Ed, if there’s nothing else, we’ll head back,” Tesla said.

Ed, however, raised his hand pointing towards the only woman in the crowd, “She’s the sensory member of your team, right? I have a few things I need to verify with her, it won’t take long.”

“Hmm.”

As Tesla and the others left, Eva felt somewhat nervous, even too nervous to lift her head.

“Tell me what you know about Nicholas… you seem to know something.”

…

“Prometheus” Node – City of Gods Pyramid.

The war had ended prematurely because of Ed’s compromise, and as a result, the “war damage” was minimized.

Under Han Dong’s control, the Energy Zone was reactivated, and the light of life reilluminated the City of Gods… The city entered a state of city-wide maintenance just half an hour after the war.

Meanwhile, Han Dong was also planning a “major change” for the City of Gods.

Since Han Dong was taking away the “Out of control” mothership, this involved the “complete eradication of the Black Water system,” pushing the residents to grow in a self-developing manner without reliance on external aids, which was a considerable project that many residents dependent on Black Water might oppose.

Furthermore, Han Dong was also going to abolish slavery altogether.

Grant the White Giant the qualification to survive within the City of Gods, using a more humane method to manage the City of Gods.

Wait a minute…

Taking over such a complete system naturally involves numerous complicated tasks.

However, these matters Han Dong would later entrust to his own split consciousness.

Currently, there are a few important matters that need attention.

Firstly, the issue of “divine distribution” comes to mind.

In the Node War, four gods were defeated and stripped of their divinity, which Han Dong would allocate to his trustworthy subordinates–Meat, Execution, Terror Source, and the decisively acting Chief Engineer Heize.

They respectively obtained the “Earth Divine,” “Sky Divine,” “Breeding Divine,” and “Pluto Divine.”

At the same time, Han Dong made changes to the “titles” of the Nine Pillar Gods.

In Han Dong’s mind, true deities could not be substituted by such false gods; he renamed them to “Priest.”

From then on, the High Priest would no longer be the highest position under the Pharaoh, and subsequent detailed Priest evaluation rules would be established.

…

“Meat and the rest of you, go to the treasury and choose something you want as a reward for assisting me in ascending to the throne,” he said.

“Thank you, Pharaoh.”

“Miss Mary, you should go as well, see if there is anything in the treasury ‘we need to hand over,'” he said.

“Hmm…”

Though Maritzis wanted to stay with Han Dong for a bit longer, the thought of being able to apply for freedom with Toad Ancestor upon returning and accompanying Han Dong on an adventure made her show a rare smile and she quickly headed to the treasury to find an item that could help Toad Ancestor counter the ‘mythical restrictions,’ though finding such an item was not guaranteed.

The next step was crucial.

“Prometheus” event exploration reached 100% (due to obtaining the world node, exploration automatically completed)

Perfect ending reward: Genesis Treasure Chest (sent to the White Giant Temple Area)

Event completed. Except for the node holder, other participants please leave the current world within 24 hours.

The node holder is also requested to perform “Consciousness Duplication” and “Duplication of Selves” within 24 hours.

Regarding Talent Points and score rewards, calculations will be made after departure.”

“Phew…” Han Dong took a deep breath and lay on the throne, “Same kind… I’m glad I had an extra head, or it really would have been difficult to win.

Programmers are terrifying, I suppose Ed still has many tricks up his sleeve he hasn’t shared.”

But the ending is still very good, being able to establish a relationship with Ed in advance, if anything happens in Capital City in the future, we can communicate ahead of time, it’s like killing two birds with one stone.”

After lying down for a little while, Han Dong stepped off the ground down the ribbed staircase of the former pharaohs.

“Congratulations.”

The first to congratulate him was not his own team, but Gu Xu from Dragon City.

Han Dong also responded with a smile, “Thanks to your assistance, after all, the Temple of the Sun God is the first among the nine temples… As agreed, our two teams will ‘equally split’ the rewards from the treasury chest.

Let’s go… I wonder what will be revealed.

I didn’t expect it to be set in the White Giant’s Temple… Is this indirectly reminding me that the development of Prometheus’s world cannot do without these White Giants?”

Han Dong temporarily asked the residents, including Miss Jane, to head to the pyramid’s treasury to pick an item, saying he would return soon.

Perhaps it was the weariness brought on by fifty straight hours of war.

Though excited about the treasure chest on the way to the White Giant Temple, everyone felt listless.

Mia, wearing a mask, clung to Han Dong’s arm the entire way, appearing quite feeble.

Stepping onto the divine stairs,

under the watchful eyes of many White Giant Elders,

a large treasure chest with an alien structure landed in the center of the temple,

with an alien head at the center of the chest that seemed still alive, strong acid continuously dripping from inside…
