Chapter 151: The Trillion Mana Bill
"Taxes."The word hung in the air of the renovated Saionji Villa, heavier than any S-Rank spell I had ever faced.Ayaka Saionji, the woman who had just bought God’s server, stared at my tablet. Her face was pale."Renji," she whispered. "That number... it has too many zeros."[Invoice #001] [Item: Solar System Maintenance (Sector 4).] [Breakdown:]Gravity Engine Upkeep: 100 Billion Mana/Day.Star Rendering (The Sun): 300 Billion Mana/Day.Atmospheric Physics: 50 Billion Mana/Day.NPC AI Processing (7 Billion Humans): 50 Billion Mana/Day.[Total Due: 500,000,000,000 Mana Units.] [Payment Method: Direct Soul Transfer or Core Exchange.]"Five hundred billion," I read aloud, rubbing my temples. "And that's just the daily rate?""If we don't pay?" Runa asked, her hand drifting to her dagger (as if she could stab a bill).PING.A hologram popped up on the tablet. It wasn't the Developer. It was Alpha.The Gothic Lolita Architect was sitting on a floating gamer chair, eating a slice of digit
Chapter 152: Isekai Invasion
"Let's go rob a Demon King."I stepped into the portal. The world dissolved into a kaleidoscope of green energy and nausea.(I hate portals. Why can't we just take an elevator?)"Brace for impact!" Jessica shouted, her voice distorted by the dimensional shear."I see the exit!" Runa yelled. "It is below us!"Below us?We popped out of the vortex.We were high. Very high.Below us was a massive, gothic castle with spires that pierced the red clouds. We were falling straight toward the highest tower."Roof!" I screamed."Breaching!" Jessica activated her thrusters. She flew ahead, spear point down.CRASH.She smashed through the stone ceiling like a bunker buster.We followed her through the hole.Dust, debris, and confused bats swirled around us. We fell into a massive chamber lit by torches.I braced for a hard landing.But I didn't hit the floor. I hit something... crunchy.SPLAT.I landed on a chair. A very large, spiky chair. And underneath me, something groaned and then went silen
Chapter 153: The Hero vs. The Harem
"I've always wanted to punch a Chosen One," Jessica grinned, her knuckles cracking like thunder.She stepped toward the blonde Hero standing in the doorway. The Hero, clad in shining golden armor, looked at Jessica's tank top and camo pants with confusion."A monk?" the Hero sneered. "Stand aside, woman! I am Prince Valder, the Sword of Light! I am here to slay the Demon King!"He pointed his glowing sword at me."Face me, monster! Or do you hide behind your concubines?"(Monster? I am wearing a tuxedo. Granted, it's ruined, but I still have more style than your shoulder pads.)I sat on the throne, resting my chin on my hand."Jessica, stand down," I commanded."What?" Jessica pouted. "But I wanted to break his nose.""You would break the castle," I sighed. "And we need the infrastructure for the tax audit."I looked at the Hero. He was young. Arrogant. He held his sword with a grip so tight his knuckles were white. He was vibrating with 'Main Character Energy'.It was annoying."Runa
Chapter 154: Harvesting the Core
"Show me the treasury," I commanded.The Demon General, whose name was apparently 'Gorg' (creative), led us deep beneath the castle.Valder, the former Hero and current Intern, struggled behind us carrying six heavy sacks of gold coins."This is good training!" Valder panted, sweat dripping from his nose. "I feel my muscles tearing! This must be the Path of the Burden!""Yes," Runa nodded sagely. "The Master teaches that strength comes from carrying the loot."(It teaches that I have a bad back and refuse to lift heavy things.)We reached the bottom. A massive door made of mithril blocked the path."The Core Room," Gorg grunted. "Only the King may enter. The mana inside... it burns.""Burn is a mindset," I said, pushing the door open.Inside, there was no gold. There was only a crystal.It was the size of a house, floating in a void of swirling mana. It pulsed with the heartbeat of the planet.[Target Identified: Server 7 Core.] [Mana Yield: 50 Trillion Units.] [Status: Active.]"Jack
Chapter 155: The Elf Queen's Proposal
"We need nine more worlds," I had said.But before we could leave Server 7, we had one last stop.The Elf Capital of Alfheim.It was a city woven from living crystal and ancient trees. It was beautiful. It smelled of pine needles and magic.And right now, it was knee-deep in paperwork."Sign here," Sae said, handing a stack of documents to the Elf Prime Minister. "This acknowledges that your mana grid is now a subsidiary of the Earth Server Cluster. In exchange, you get 5G coverage.""5G?" The Elf blinked his large, luminous eyes. "Is that a spell?""It connects you to the cosmos," Sae sighed. "Just sign."I sat on a temporary throne grown from a tree root (surprisingly comfortable). Ayaka stood beside me, checking her tablet."The merger is stable," Ayaka reported. "But Renji, our resource consumption is spiking. We have 500 demon refugees, a hero intern, and now an entire elf population to feed. We can't afford another mouth.""We can't afford to starve either," I muttered.(I have
Chapter 156: Space Pirates
"Because I've always wanted to hijack a spaceship."I buttoned my coat. The wind from the descending skull-ship whipped my hair, but my [Author Authority] kept my footing solid."Jessica," I said. "Can you throw me?"Jessica grinned, her power armor locking into maximum output. "Fastball Special? With pleasure."She grabbed my waist. I grabbed her shoulders."Aim for the bridge," I commanded. "The left eye socket.""Firing in three... two..."BOOM.Jessica launched us.We didn't fly. We were a missile. We broke the sound barrier before we cleared the castle spires.The spaceship loomed above us—a rusty, industrial nightmare bristling with mana cannons."Shields up!" a voice crackled over the ship's external speakers.A blue energy field shimmered into existence around the hull."Cut it," I whispered.I reached into my chest. The [Mirage Edge] flared.[Skill Selected: Concept Cutter.] [Target: The barrier between 'Outside' and 'Inside'.] [Lie: "There is no door."]I swiped my hand.SHI
Chapter 157: The Clash of Realities
"We're going to the gladiator pits."The star map projected by the rusted cyborg-kraken, Captain Ironbeard, hovered in the air of the Saionji Villa’s command center. It didn't show a planet or a star system. It showed a tear in the fabric of the multiverse, a pocket dimension that existed outside the standard server list.The Grand Tournament of Universes."The prize," Ironbeard rasped from the floor, his voice box still glitching from the rust corrosion. "It is not gold. It is not land. It is the Core of a Dead Sun. Infinite Mana. A quadrillion units."The room went silent.A quadrillion.I looked at the invoice on my tablet. The debt that threatened to turn off the sun and delete gravity was 500 Trillion.A quadrillion wasn't just enough to pay the bill. It was enough to buy the bank.(Infinite mana. That means no more debt. No more rationing energy. No more utility bills threatening the apocalypse. I can finally retire. I can buy a planet made of noodles.)"Infinite," I whispered,
Chapter 158: The Lobby of Gods
"Now that is a stage," I had whispered.But the stage was just the background. The real terror was the Green Room.Our floating marble platform drifted into a massive docking bay. It locked into place with a sound like thunder. We stepped off onto a concourse made of solid starlight."Stay close," I murmured to my team. "And don't stare."It was impossible not to stare.The Lobby of the Grand Tournament was a chaotic, terrifying melting pot of the Multiverse.To my left, a squad of Cyber-Paladins from a Sci-Fi Server were calibrating plasma swords the size of telephone poles. To my right, a literal Dragon God—in human form, but with wings spanning thirty meters—was drinking magma from a chalice. Ahead of us, a cloud of sentient gas was arguing with a being made entirely of clockwork gears."We are small," Melody whispered, hiding behind my coat. "Master, these beings... their mana density is infinite. I feel like a minnow in a shark tank.""Size is irrelevant," Runa growled, though he
Chapter 159: Round 1: Jessica vs. The Swarm
[MATCH START.]The gong sounded. It wasn't a physical sound. It was a gravitational ripple that shook the very fabric of the arena.Our marble platform drifted into the center of the battlefield. The arena configuration shifted. The solid light floor dissolved, replaced by a terrain suited for the home team.A ruined cityscape. Rusted skyscrapers, twisted metal, and smog.Opposite us, the platform of Server 9: The Hive Mind docked.The doors opened.They didn't march out. They spilled.A tidal wave of flesh and metal poured into the ruins. Millions—no, billions—of small, insectoid creatures. They climbed the buildings, they filled the streets, they darkened the artificial sky.They clicked and chattered, a billion voices merging into one localized frequency."CONSUME," the Hive Mind broadcasted. "BIOMASS DETECTED. ASSIMILATE."I stood on the edge of our platform, looking down at the sea of red eyes.(That is a lot of bugs. I really, really hate bugs.)"Renji," Jessica Ford stepped up
Chapter 160: The Logic Virus
"I don't run from my wife."I said those words to the woman pointing a spear at my heart.Jessica Ford stood frozen. Her left eye was a vibrant, human blue. Her right eye was a flickering, digital red. Tears streamed down one cheek; data streamed down the other."Delete..." the mechanical voice rasped from her throat. "Delete... Renji...""No!" Her human voice screamed. "Get out of my head! He's my husband!"The spear wavered. The tip crackled with lethal energy, inches from my chest."Elara!" I shouted without looking back. "Analysis!""It's a Logic Plague!" Elara yelled, typing furiously on her tablet. "The Hive Mind uploaded a localized kernel into her neural interface. It's rewriting her personality drivers. It's trying to optimize her by deleting 'inefficient' emotions.""Emotions like love?" I asked."Exactly. If it hits 100%, she won't be Jessica anymore. She'll be a combat droid."[System Alert: Infection Level: 85%.] [Time to Erasure: 60 Seconds.](I have one minute to save h
