From Blood Mage to Styx Ancestor

Chapter 238 The Giant Enterprise's Plan to Become a God

Chapter 238 The Giant Enterprise's Plan to Become a God

The hovercar gradually slowed down, and Modi could clearly feel it descending.

"Looks like we've arrived," he thought.

The airship had excellent sound insulation, and its fully enclosed structure prevented anyone from seeing the outside scenery. Nevertheless, the vast Blood God Network still managed to extract his coordinates.

Location confirmed. This is... a desert?

The moment the location was completed, Modi had a sudden idea and decisively extended his spiritual sense into the etheric layer, disrupting everything around him and concealing his connection with the Blood God Child.

This method, which was tantamount to concealing the secrets of heaven, did indeed work; at least the subtle fluctuations that followed failed to detect his abnormality.

"A strange mental scan. I wonder which great witch's ability this is?" he thought to himself.

Deep within the facility, a black-haired witch opened her eyes, looked at the smiling young man standing beside her, and shook her head slightly.

She opened her mouth, then said softly, "Nothing unusual was found. He's always been very well-behaved, both in the past and in the future, it's just..."

"What is it?" the young man asked.

After a moment's hesitation, the black-haired witch continued, "This CEO of Styx seems to only like money. In the future I see, he's constantly working to make money."

The young man looked slightly surprised and chuckled, "I didn't expect that after he knew about our plan, he would still be thinking about this. He's really, well, a man of character."

But this is fine too; Styx's CEO likes money, so he can use that to win him over in the future.

To control the other party.

"Since this new committee member is doing well, I should go out and meet him. I'm also very curious about what kind of person could develop a biotechnology laboratory to this extent in such a short period of time."

"

Filled with curiosity, the young man left first. As one of the hosts, the head of Hongtu, and also the executive chairman of the Ring Committee, he needed to meet with Stix's CEO.

And tell them the truth about the Ring Boundary Project.

At the entrance, on the helipad, the tremors of the hovercar gradually subsided, the door opened, and two figures stepped out.

"This is the Ring Boundary's operational facility, and also where the entire Ring Boundary server is located," the messenger introduced with a smile. "Next, you will meet the other members of the committee."

Mordi nodded, looking around the facility as he followed the messenger.

The entire ring-shaped operating facility was undoubtedly built to the highest standards, so even if the surface were bombed with the largest nuclear weapon available today, the underground facilities would not be greatly affected.

In addition, it is equipped with elite troops from the three major companies, and there are probably an unknown number of powerful female warriors in the shadows. With such a configuration, even if most of the companies below join forces, they may not be able to break through.

"Impeccable." Modi thought to himself, "Luckily, I met you."

He doesn't plan to blow this place up, because that would be the most wasteful thing to do.

The ring realm, which is about to become a reality, is no less valuable than the real world. If it is destroyed due to server damage, that would be a real loss.

As they pondered, a young man with a smile approached them.

Upon seeing the young man, the messenger paused, bowed respectfully, and greeted him, "Chairman."

Modi looked up at the sound and saw a young man with the air of an ancient scholar walking towards him.

A smile spread across the young man's handsome face as he nodded in response to the messenger's greeting. He then looked at the new member of the committee and said, "Leave the rest to me. I'll show this new member around."

"Yes." The messenger bowed his head and slowly retreated.

"What instructions does Chairman Hong have?"

Given that this is the Environmental Committee, Modi directly refers to its official title.

"Just call me by my name, no need to be so polite," Hongyu said with a smile. "Mormontes, is it alright if I call you that? Anyway, you're probably also curious about why we've been maintaining the Ring, right?"

"Of course, it's impossible not to be curious," Modi readily admitted. "This huge virtual world is only open to witches. It clearly contains enormous business opportunities, but they can't be monetized. I deeply regret this."

The Ring has been around for many years, but it remains a private server that only allows witches to log in and does not allow ordinary people to log in. This is almost impossible for profit-driven companies.

But that is indeed the case, and he believes there must be a logic behind it.

Hearing his words, Hongyu's smile deepened. "In that case, let's talk as we walk. We should be able to finish before we reach our destination."

The two then moved on, and along the way, Hongyu revealed part of the truth about the Ring Realm to him.

"Ringworld is more than just a virtual world; it's a world that's moving towards reality."

Hongyu patiently explained what it meant to him, and gradually, he also showed a "shocked" expression.

Seemingly satisfied with his performance, Hongyu continued, "To drive the evolution of the Ring Realm, in addition to making it consistent with the real world, we also need an anchor point, which is why we sent the witch there."

He omitted a part, and Modi was certain of that.

Making the ring world consistent with reality, and sending out anchor points, are all for one purpose: to provide the ring world with a channel to exploit others.

The object of this exploitation is naturally the real world.

"In order to reduce real-world interference with the ring, I, along with other committee members, have prohibited ordinary people from interfering with the ring."

"Only witches can enter. They are remnants of ancient gods and have existed since the time of witch trials in the Middle Ages."

Gods? This world is indeed not as simple as it seems.

Modi asked, "What benefits would it bring to driving the evolution of the Ring Realm? That the world's largest corporations would actually cooperate on this."

"Well," Hongyu said, keeping everyone in suspense, "have you heard of the Sadako incident?"

"Of course, it was the source of the once-famous metastatic human cancer virus, which was also a landmark event in the collapse of the old order."

"That's right. But have you ever considered that since Sadako can come to our world, could we go to the Ring Realm and become deities like the Great Witch there?"

Modi paused for a moment, seemingly stunned by the other party's audacious idea. "Become a god?"

A hint of fanaticism appeared in Hongyu's eyes. Only then did he reveal the plan that the human leadership had been pushing for.

"In fact, this plan started back in the old era, jointly promoted by political entities such as White Eagle, Chuka, and Sakurajima. It was only after the companies representing the new era defeated them that we became aware of the plan."

"We follow the plans of the old government, promoting the evolution of the ring boundary, while leaving backdoors in the process to make it easy for us to modify and adjust the ring boundary."

"Those backdoors will become part of the underlying logic of the Ring, so even if it evolves in the future, it will not be able to escape our control."

Modi suddenly realized, a look of understanding appearing on his face. He finally understood what these high-ranking humans wanted to do.

They planned to use a backdoor left over from when the Ring was still a virtual world to ensure that they would still have administrator-like privileges after entering the real Ring.

They want to use their authority to become gods in the real world.

These high-ranking humans are really good at thinking things through.

To acquire vast wealth, one must destroy a nation; to acquire even more, one must rebuild upon the foundation of the destroyed nation.

But how does one become a god?

Modi relied on the accumulation of knowledge from multiple worlds and the faith of countless people, while the answer given by these high-ranking human leaders was... to create a new world.

"How was it, Mormontis? Were you impressed?" Hongyu asked with a smile, his expression returning to normal.

"To be honest, this plan is far beyond my imagination," Modi said sincerely. "He who steals a hook is punished, he who steals a kingdom becomes a prince, but what about stealing an entire world?"

"Perhaps only becoming an immortal or an ancestor is what we deserve."

After Hongyu finished speaking, he stopped at the door of a room. "We've arrived. The other committee members are waiting for us."

He pushed open the door and went inside first, with Modi following closely behind, both of them pondering something else.

If he were to cause a massive explosion here, wouldn't all the world's tycoons be without their leaders?

Banishing the joke from his mind, he stepped into the room, where he was met with scrutinizing gazes.

Inside the room, eleven men and women sat around a square conference table, making twelve in total, including Hongyu.

These twelve people were dressed differently; not all of them were in suits and ties. Some were simply wearing casual clothes or some kind of clothing with ethnic characteristics.

Without exception, they all looked at Modi, their gazes varying—some gentle, some indifferent, some curious.

Modi nodded to them, and they didn't give him any trouble, responding in kind.

Seated at the far end of the long table were the heads of the three major corporations.

After glancing at the long table, Mordy quickly found his seat and sat down in the chair behind the sign that read "Stix".

He was the thirteenth member.

"Now that everyone is here, let's begin the meeting," said a young woman with blonde hair and blue eyes.

She is the head of the Europa Military-Industrial Complex and the rotating chair of the committee.

"First of all, welcome to the new committee member Stix. Let's skip the formalities. I think everyone here has valuable time, so let's talk about some more practical interests."

She gently tapped the table, and a model of a planet immediately appeared in the center.

The planet is entirely blue, with tiny red dots scattered throughout.

Modi was very familiar with this; their planet looked similar. But based on the distribution of those small red dots, he guessed that this should be a ring boundary.

Those little red dots correspond to individual Titan beasts, as well as the other Blood God Children he has already exposed.

"As you can see, this is the current situation in the Ring Realm," the blonde woman, El, said in a deep voice. "There were originally seventy-two giant beasts, which are suspected to have been formed from ancient loopholes, and they were scattered in every corner of the world."

"1

"Thirty have already been defeated. The remaining ones are either powerful Alpha-class behemoths or hiding in the trenches and underground."
