Eden could guess the reason—likely due to the source of energy coursing through the Machine Spirit being the same as his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This new, powerful Machine Spirit had thus recognized him as its \"father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Kaul's resentful gaze, Eden happily communicated with his new \"child.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He named the newborn Machine Spirit \"Spirit Web,\" with the nickname \"Webby.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden carefully explained Webby's responsibilities, establishing rules and restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deeper his communication with Webby, the more Eden realized his control was nearly absolute; Webby couldn't refuse any of his commands, even those requiring self-sacrifice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was good news, meaning Eden could entrust Webby with more autonomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once their conversation ended, Eden instructed Kaul to care for Webby and begin laying the network lines throughout the territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly returned to the spire residence, where he needed to plan Spirit Web's development policies with Bayev.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Eden left, Kaul stood dumbfounded before the Machine Spirit core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He struggled to accept how the governor had suddenly become the \"master\" of the great Machine Spirit, while the Machine Spirit showed him little regard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Webby reached out to Kaul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Kaul...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Machine Spirit had spoken to him! Kaul's spirits soared as he eagerly approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Webby, what can I do for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you lay the network lines faster? I want to start working for Father and relieve his burden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Absolutely!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just communicating with the Machine Spirit was enough to satisfy Kaul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rallied his apprentices and worked tirelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within weeks, the network lines connecting the Machine Spirit core to the rest of the Royal District were laid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden then instructed Kaul to develop various Spirit Web-compatible devices, especially Spirit Web computers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guided by Eden's insights, Kaul's creativity flourished, quickly producing prototypes of the necessary devices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After successful testing, factories were established to begin mass production.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The devices were soon distributed throughout the district.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Eden issued the Spirit Web Act, requiring all institutions and factories to use Spirit Web.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Spirit Web devices illuminating the territory, the age of interconnected networks had dawned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden pulled the lever on the mechanical switch, taking a seat in front of a slightly bulky, skull-embellished mechanical screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It powered up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Triumphant music played as a pixelated startup animation appeared on the screen:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Imperial Aquila flashed by, followed by Eden clad in golden power armor, radiating golden light as he pointed his sword forward, his regal stance illuminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words, \"All for the Governor!\" echoed in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The startup animation faded, and the desktop interface appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden cheerfully tapped on the mechanical keyboard, navigating with a mouse to handle files.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the design was a bit different, the feeling was familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past three months, Eden had overhauled the administration of the Royal District, consigning outdated methods to history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, every institution and factory in the district operated with Spirit Web equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the vast computational power of Spirit Web, administrative efficiency skyrocketed by more than a hundredfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This surge in productivity revitalized the territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, Eden gained a massive boost in Hope Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A full two million Hope Energy points!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this newfound energy, Eden immediately blessed Bayev, significantly enhancing his administrative abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blessing took effect swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bayev effectively managed nearly all government affairs with ease, raising the district's administrative quality even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden couldn't help but think of him as a mini Malcador!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Eden could relax and focus only on major issues, free from the daily grind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The past months had been grueling as Eden juggled endless tasks to keep the Royal District on track, barely catching a moment to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he could finally take a breather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sinking into his chair, Eden savored a sip of Imperial Synth-brewed Recaf and popped a pastry into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, bliss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inbox alert sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden opened his email, pulling up a new document.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the emblem, it was a report from the Department of War.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it brought the first good news of the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the report, under Spirit Web's assistance, Captain Arye of the Defense Corps had completed the expansion ahead of schedule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Defense Corps now numbered 510,300 troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, all equipment for the Defense Corps would be ready by the end of the month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant the plan to reclaim the Underhive could proceed on schedule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next email cast a shadow over Eden's thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a report on the progress of scouting the Underhive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the victory over the heretic insurgents and the closing off of the Hive's lower levels, all contact with the Underhive had been lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody knew what had become of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a clear understanding of the Underhive's state, reopening the elevators or gates was out of the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If insurgents had regrouped or something even more dangerous had taken root, it could spell disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden had no desire to see the recently reclaimed Hive fall again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only way into the Underhive, given the current closure, was through the maze-like pipelines—hundreds of kilometers long and more twisted than a labyrinth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These pipes were infested with terrifying mutant creatures and possibly corruption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making matters worse, the engineers who had built them had long since passed, and the surviving maps were fragmented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Spirit Web's computational power, the Department of War had managed to trace a route through the remnants of the old maps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, they had considered another route from records left by Yusef.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it proved too dangerous, crawling with mutated creatures—no one could survive such a narrow path infested with hordes of abominations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the route discovered by Spirit Web became the Royal District's sole choice for scouting the Underhive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Eden considered dispatching his guards for the mission, which would have increased their chances of success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the pipeline was too narrow for the guards to pass through; even taller adults couldn't fit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Department of War selected a group of small-framed individuals as specialized scouts, tasked with navigating the pipelines to gather intelligence on the Underhive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, those who went down never returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark pipeline swallowed every scout that entered, leaving no trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Department of War now proposed sending a ninth wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden sighed as he reviewed the file and clicked to reject the request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As governor, he held veto power over any matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then issued instructions to the Department of War, indicating that he would personally oversee the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After nearly a thousand lives had been lost in that dark abyss, sending more people felt pointless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Eden had decided to go himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, as governor, he wouldn't take unnecessary risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a safer plan in mind...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Check Out My Patreon For +20 Extra Chapters On
