GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

He struggled to get out of his maintenance pod as he thought about his experience. For the past six months, he had been in the game. When he returned to real life, only a few hours had passed. This caused his brain to struggle in figuring out what was going on.

It is a normal situation that he has experienced before when he had elaborate dreams. Waking up is usually accompanied by a sense of confusion and loss.

The Heavenly Corporation had warned that it would only get worse the more time they spent in the game. Eventually, the real world will become unappealing to them.

Not many people care about that loss. Not after people became Tier 1 and could actually use their power in God's Domain in the real world. He certainly doesn't care about it now that he has finally received the highly coveted in-game currency.

The recollection of the divine gold he received made him check his status again. When he saw the line that allows him to convert divine gold into divine crystals, he sighed in relief.

Then his eyes lit up in anticipation. "What should I get with it? I can get so much. I can improve my stats. I can buy anything in God's Domain and on earth with it."

There were many things he could do with divine crystals, but he decided that he had to acquire what he came to God's Domain for first. So he used the interface in his mind to purchase the elixir for his mother.

Having done so, he began to laugh. He was laughing because he was happy. He had no doubt that the elixir would be real because the Heavenly Corporation has fulfilled even more difficult promises.

He can still remember when he just became Tier 1. He had rushed offline to see if what they had said was real.

His expectations were not disappointed when he woke to find that his core engine had become real. He could also activate his skills. A single step made him dash across a large distance. It was simply inconceivable.

He couldn't believe it back then. But now he expects that their promise about elixirs that can heal any injury will be real. In fact, he will find it unbelievable if the elixir isn't real. After all, it was the first thing that the Heavenly Corporation used as bait to lure people into their game.

He laughed some more and dashed across the room to test his power again. He did so to make sure that he hadn't dreamt the whole thing again. It was becoming harder to tell.

His body is weaker than what it is in God's Domain, but the power boost from mana is real.

He shook his head in awe and asked, "How did they manage it though?"

It is the question that everyone wants to know the answer to. Many people that had reached Tier 1 proved that the promise of power was real. But this only created more questions.

Many doctors and scientists performed tests on the enhanced humans to find out their source of power. They found many things, but they didn't understand what they found. It was so advanced that they began calling it magic.

Many governments began another round of grandstanding. They claimed that the Heavenly Corporation operation was too dangerous. They made up a lot of crimes and offenses against the Heavenly Corporation, which all led to nothing.

It is not that they didn't try to put their words into action by attacking the Heavenly Corporation. They did so, and they even amassed an army larger than ever before.

Many nations decided to work together to bring the Heavenly Corporation down. They combined their resources and manpower to create the largest army ever.

Many people were full of expectations for the battle, and some were full of fear for the Heavenly Corporation. They were afraid that the Heavenly Corporation would lose and they would lose their strength or that the government would gain the technology behind their strength and become tyrannical.

But their fears were unwarranted because the fight just never happened. Something was always going wrong during their preparations.

An important piece of equipment would stop working, a dangerous machine got damaged, an explosive ammunition exploded in transportation, or an important personnel died, or a president that swore to bring down the Heavenly Corporation died while choking on their food.

All of these coincidences made them fear the Heavenly Corporation but incapable of doing anything about their fears. They still didn't give up, though. If anything, all of these coincidences showed the world just how dangerous the Heavenly Corporation was.

Many governments, corporations, and people who were on the sidelines before decided to stop holding back. They decided to take action together.

Taylor was worried when the world government was reformed with the sole goal of subduing the Heavenly Corporation.

The world government was formed by a certain scientist politician named Jason. It was disbanded after his death because world leaders were greedy for power.

They couldn't decide on who to replace him, so they broke up the world government. But now, something has made them more afraid than greedy.

They had become willing to let someone step over them if they could stop the Heavenly Corporation from making it possible for everyone to step over them. This way, they would have a choice over who steps over them.

He was afraid because of that conviction. But it turned out that his fears that God's Domain would be stopped were unwarranted because many of the world leaders who attended the summit died of food poisoning or peacefully in their sleep.

All of the presidents and those who were in charge of their organizations died. Only their aids, vices, and second in command didn't die. These ones that were spared got the message loud and clear. They disbanded the world government and ran back home with their tails in between their legs.
