Part 4: The ultimate price of betrayal

"Our main target, Felix did not appear still. So I want to keep her alive for a while, Python. The unit of our time zone is much longer than their World. He obviously logged in later than them and maybe will be here months later."

"Enough is enough, Hackathon. Kill her, now!"

"Also I think she has something that rat did not inform us! Something… dangerous…" While uttering this sentence, Hackathon pointed to Zen, who was kneeling helplessly, covered in blood, at the feet of the Terminal, God of Genesis.

Actually, according to the plan, Terminal was also supposed to kill Zen, but they were suspicious because he conveyed the information about shutting down the game and creating Server Zero too late. That is why they were still keeping him alive to torture him in case there was any other information he was hiding.

"Please… I did everything they told me. This is not my fault, these events occurred today and I activated Plan B as soon as possible as you see! Please, I do not deserve this!"

"What have you done, Zen!!!" Harlow, her strength diminished, shot a hateful look at Zen, whom she realized was a traitor.

"I…I am so sorry, Harlow… I just wanted to live…"

Suddenly, the air a little ahead of them began to condense and a transparent human silhouette began to form.

"Ah, at least… He is here!" Neural, God of Order started to grin and nodded to her assistant next to her to take action.

So are the other Clones…

They would hunt Felix as soon as he opened his eyes in that World…

"I told you this… I will not allow it…" Pausing her sentence, Harlow continued to hold on to her sword with her right hand and pointed her left hand in the direction where Felix began to appear. "<PLAYER'S GLORY!> is on. Protect Hell against these b.stards forever, my code…please"

And the whole body of Felix has emerged…

KB, IronClaw, and all other 4 assistants made their attempts to kill him at the same time… However, all six of them were thrown back as if they had been hit by a truck and rolled away.

Because upon Harlow's command, the sphere consisting of black binary codes that appeared in front of her left hand quickly dispersed, reached Felix's body, and covered him completely, protecting him from this barrage of attacks.

"Who would have thought that this little project of mine was actually the only structure that could save my best friend…" 

"What the!!!" Python and all other Clones except Hackathon were observing carefully because they realized that Harlow had released something dangerous.

"So that was this…" Hackathon, who was standing right in front of him with a person who looked like his assistant, frowned and looked at Felix."What is this code, HB? Some protection? If so why didn't you activate this for yourself?"

"Hah ha… You can not understand this, you damn software codes!"

"Ah yes, we are not humans like you." The man continued speaking in a soft tone. "But as you see, we now own your power. And I'm so sorry that me and my friends have to kill all of you here."

"Sh.t the hell up, and finish this… Hackathon" Python, whose impatience overcame his nervousness, was starting to get angry.

Looking at the terrifying silhouette of the Python, Felix's fear suddenly began to increase when he saw John's head held in his hand.

"P…please…help…us" While he quickly looked around and tried to understand what was happening, he heard Zen's plea against Harlow's proud waiting. "HARLOW, ZEN!!! WHAT IS THIS!!!" However, the situation he was in was still at the level of trying to understand how he came to this world while he should have been playing games by looking at the screen.

"I am so sorry, Felix, but there is no time… Now go… and live…"

"HARLOW, NO, PLEASE SAVE ME TOO!!!"

"NOOOOOOOO!!!" 

Realizing Harlow's intentions, everyone took action in a last-ditch effort.

Zen begged her to save him too.

InterliJ, Terminal, Typhon, and other Clones raised their hands in the air and fired very powerful and immaterial attack shots toward Felix.

But all these attempts were futile, because the miracle code Harlow wrote, which only protects against software beings but is useless against players, took into account the instructions of its creator, Harlow.

First, it caused the Clones' attacks to ricochet, change direction, and go into the sky.

"Allow him to log off even against their access, <PLAYER'S GLORY>..."

"HARLOW, STOP!!! ALLOW ME TO…" Felix's cries were also in vain because as soon as Harlow completed her command, he was thrown out of the game beyond his control.

"How the hell this happened!!!" Python was looking at Harlow with anger, but the fact that she continued to look at the ground with confidence even though she was about to die made him realize that what he was doing would not work. Therefore, to vent his anger, he looked at Zen, who had hidden the existence of this dangerous code from them.

"Stop, Typhon!" But InterliJ intervened. "As you see, something dangerous has appeared. The moment that code was activated, Felix's very existence disappeared from the system. We were able to attack him because we could physically see him at the moment. This thing is extremely critical, we should learn everything about it! So, as Hackathon said, we need them alive for now!"

"On whose behalf do you dare to talk to me like this right now!"

"On behalf of everyone! We, and those who programmed us…Yes, you are the strongest one among us. But you know the rules. I am the God of Justice and I have authority even against you in such times like this!"

Python quickly looked around and sensed that all the other Clones were starting to turn against him. "So, what can you do about this, Hackathon…?"

"Let me work on these two impotent human beings, Python. I am the God of Knowledge, trust me, I will solve this mystery!"

"Tsch!... If that's what you want… Ok, I will allow it…But on two conditions!"

"What are they?"

"MASTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR!!!" Realizing what was going to happen, IronClaw took action, but he was too late because he was a much weaker being against the Clones of God.

Even InterliJ and others had no time to take action.

Zen's body disintegrated as if a bomb had exploded inside him, and InterliJ's body was covered with red binary codes and gnawed away, destroying her. These two, no, three events happened at the same time.

It was the third incident that Harlow's body was covered in red binary codes but he didn't kill her.

"First, you will have only one guinea pig! And she will live in my region forever… No, until I kill her… You will do your research by coming to me, doing it in my dungeons! And the second one… If any of you dare to stand up against me again, this time I will completely erase not only that one, but the existence of you all from this system!"

"How could you do this, Python!!!" All the Clones were angry and they all looked at Terminal, the God of Genesis, their only connection to their creators.

"Do not look at him! As if we ever needed justice in a World which we rule!!! And you!" This time he also looked at Terminal. "Convey my words to them in full! Now I am the real Ruler of all Server Worlds and all other Clones will be my underlings. They created me for the power and I am fulfilling my purpose of idiosyncrasy in this way…"
