[You will return to the original world in 90 seconds]

[Return immediately (90)]

Death is gone.

It was just a little bit off.

If he had been any slower, his good friend would have taken Ivo with him.

[Returning to the original world...]

In that instant, a brilliant gray light descended from the sky, dispelling the thick, dark clouds.

The entire mining conglomerate building was pierced from top to bottom by this terrifying force, and the enormous radiance turned everything into dust.

After the light faded, a huge gray eye appeared on top of the mining building.

Looking down from above, the mining conglomerate building now resembles an abyss built on the earth's surface.

The eye scanned the surroundings, and the gray light gathered in the air once more, as if preparing for another attack.

Just then, His figure flickered, and having lost the coordinates that guided Him, He had lost the channel to project His power.

Finally, the gray light before Him gradually faded away, and His figure gradually dimmed and disappeared.

······

Inside the mech in the distance, Ivo silently watched the intense light.

Silent, clear liquid slid down his cheeks to his jawline.

One drop after another, they trickled onto the dark metal floor.

Splashing up tiny, sparkling flowers.

After an unknown amount of time, he wiped his face, carefully put the bracelet back into the slot, and then sharply turned the mecha around.

It flew towards the outskirts of the city.

······

"Have the dark clouds dispersed?"

Wright slowly awoke from his coma, looked at the city defense officer beside him, and asked softly.

"It's gone."

The officer turned and glanced out the window.

"How's it going with the mining consortium?"

Wright then asked.

"It looks like the whole building was destroyed."

The officer pondered before answering.

Wright stared at the pristine white ceiling and fell into a silent silence.

The officer slowly stood up and walked to the window.

The streets, once filled with noise and gunfire, have finally returned to silence. People who have experienced the descent of the evil god walk helplessly through the streets.

The city defense troops of the 108th Division are maintaining order in an orderly manner.

A gentle breeze rustled through the wildflowers in the flowerbed outside the window, causing them to sway in the bright sunlight.

The officer reached out and touched the outside of the windowsill; the thin ice that had been there had melted.

spring is coming.

Two updates, nine thousand words—mission accomplished!

Thursday, April 7

The thick snow from just two days ago melted away overnight, and the withered old trees sprouted tender green buds.

Ivo straightened his suit, which didn't fit him properly; it was a rental from a suit store.

He didn't like this feeling of being restrained, but today was indeed the happiest day he had had in more than a week since the evil god's descent.

A gentle breeze rustled through the old metal sheets.

creak-

"Witt, you are free."

The iron gate, bearing the marks of time, was slowly pushed open by the prison guards.

A man wearing round-framed glasses, a buzz cut, and a white shirt walked out from behind the iron gate.

The man looked to be in his late twenties, and his every move was measured and unhurried, giving him a refined and gentle appearance.

The first thing he saw when he stepped outside was Ivo standing in the breeze.

"elder brother."

Ivo opened his arms and smiled for the first time in seven days.

"You little rascal, you've grown so strong!"

Witt paused for a moment, then quickly walked up to Ivo and gave him a bear hug. "What have you been doing all these years, kid?"

Then he glanced around. "By the way, where's Nell? Is he in college? Is my second sister better? Is my eldest brother married? What about my fifth brother? Has that girl come home? Oh, and how is Mother's health?"

“That kid Nell came to see me the year before last, but he hasn’t come since. The brat has grown up and become arrogant.”

"Don't they know the warden helped me overturn my conviction? Why haven't they come... Why aren't you saying anything?"

Ivo gently hugged his brother.

Witt seemed to realize something and gradually fell silent.

Friday, May 8

After a week of debate, the FBI released the preliminary findings and results of its Special Investigations Unit's investigation into the "Descendant of the Gods" incident.

The former director, deputy director, and heads of various departments of the FBI in Rock City were all dismissed and placed under investigation, with officials seconded from headquarters to their posts.

The special investigation team also announced that it would launch an investigation into more than 90 FBI employees in Rock City.

In the afternoon, the mayor's office held a press conference.

The former deputy mayor of Rock and ministers of various cabinet departments resigned to take responsibility.

On the same day, the city council, in accordance with Article 2, Section 3 of the Rock City Constitution, began a vote on the successor mayor.

The city council is legally authorized to elect an acting mayor if the mayor and deputy mayor are removed from office, die, resign, or become incapacitated.

The official should act as mayor until the mayor is reinstated or a new mayor is elected.

The resolution was passed by a two-thirds majority, appointing the highest-ranking official in the current government, former commander of the 108th Division of the City Defense Force, deputy chief of staff of the City Defense Force, and deputy minister of the City Security Department, as acting mayor.

That afternoon, Rock City Mining Group's stock price plummeted again after several days of sharp declines, with its market value shrinking by more than 70%.

In his inaugural address, Mayor Wright pledged to thoroughly investigate the descent of the evil spirits, crack down on gangs in Rock City, revise the minimum wage, thoroughly investigate long-standing criminal cases in Rock City, and exonerate the guilty.

Wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice.

There was thunderous applause.

Following the speech, the mayor's office issued a statement announcing that Jester, the warden of West Prison known for his impartiality, would be transferred to the position of police chief of Rock City.

Sunday, April 10

The demolition of the former mining conglomerate building has officially begun, and the parts of the building that have been contaminated by the evil god will be packed up and sent to the wilderness and snow mountains for safekeeping.

The new board of directors of the mining consortium announced that the mine had been seized by wilderness wanderers, the miners were on strike and forced to stop production, and they hoped to obtain assistance from the Rock City garrison.

A spokesperson for the city defense forces stated:

The actions of the Wilderness Wanderers in the wilderness are not governed by the laws of Rock City, and the miners' strike is a legal civil act. The city's defense forces were severely weakened in the incident of the descent of the evil god and have neither the right nor the ability to subdue the Wilderness Wanderers; the mining consortium can find its own solution.

On that day, a large number of newly appointed senior executives and some new directors of the mining consortium were arrested on charges of involvement in the case of the descent of an evil god.

The mining consortium announced that due to the shutdown of its mines, its cash flow has been damaged and it is unable to repay some of its debts.

The mining consortium's stock price continued to plummet that day.

That night, five Class C mercenary mechs hired by the mining consortium led a mercenary squad to attack the mine controlled by the Wilderness Wanderers.

A Black Hell Apostle mech emerged from the mine, taking on five opponents single-handedly, shooting down three and severely damaging two others.

The video of the battle spread throughout the Federation that night, quickly becoming the number one trending topic. At the same time, the battle also brought the mining conglomerate and Rock City into the public eye of the Federation.
