Arthur descended with his entourage of queens into the lower levels of Neo-Tokyo, where the bright neon lights faded and were replaced by massive pipes carrying glowing phosphorescent green nuclear fluid. At the center of this vast laboratory stood "Cynthia," the Technology Priestess and guardian of the reactor.
Cynthia wore a light metallic robe that revealed more than it concealed, and her body was decorated with glowing tattoos that moved with the pulse of the reactor. Her eyes were made of complex golden lenses, and behind her floated multiple mechanical arms working with extreme precision.
"I have heard about the virus that infected the upper network," Cynthia said in a cold voice that echoed through the laboratory walls. "But here, at the heart of the reactor, the energy is so pure that it will burn your ancient magic and turn it to ashes. I do not worship gods, I worship energy."
The system flashed with a yellow warning color:
[Target: Cynthia - Energy Guardian (Level 80)] [Status: "Nuclear Fusion Shield" - Immune to neural effects] [Danger: A reactor explosion could erase this entire dimension!] [Solution: Use the skill "Transformative Absorption" to convert nuclear energy into submission energy]
"Energy is merely desire in motion, Cynthia," Arthur said as he walked toward her while the heat in the room rose to levels no human could survive. "And I came to teach you how to direct all of that energy toward one purpose... pleasing me."
"Die in the glow of fusion!" Cynthia screamed as she opened the reactor valves, unleashing a wave of concentrated nuclear radiation toward Arthur.
Absorption and Control
[Skill Activated: Transformative Absorption!]
Instead of burning, Arthur's body began absorbing the green radiation. His dark aura transformed into a terrifying mixture of black and glowing green. With every particle he absorbed, his level rose, and the power of "Dominion" in his veins became denser.
In the blink of an eye, Arthur pierced through Cynthia's shield and grabbed her slender waist. Cynthia screamed, but the scream turned into a moan as Arthur began injecting corrupted nuclear energy into the glowing tattoos on her body.
"What are you doing? This energy... it is breaching my core programming... ah!" The tattoos on her skin began changing from gold to a demonic pink. The mechanical arms that had been defending her suddenly began tearing apart her metallic robe under the system's command, leaving her completely exposed before her new master amidst the reactor's radiation.
[The "Nuclear Protection Protocol" has been broken] [Status: Cynthia is in a state of complete "Sensory Meltdown"]
"You are my reactor now," Arthur whispered as he engraved the king's seal onto her neck. "Every particle of energy that comes from you will exist for me alone."
Cynthia collapsed into his arms, her body glowing with a burning pink radiance. "My lord... my resistance... has reached zero... I am... yours."
[Cynthia has been subdued: "The Eternal Energy Source"] [Reward: The "Sword of Dominion" has been charged with nuclear energy - A single strike from it can destroy worlds]
Arthur turned toward the rest of his queens, who had been watching the scene with fascination. "Now that we possess the energy and the network, only one thing remains in this world... the 'High Council' hiding in the satellite above the Earth. It is time for us to ascend and end this game."
