The next day, the Military Arms Building, which had taken over the city, showed no signs of the war's destruction. It was evident that a hurried renovation had taken place; the ground was covered with red carpets, prepared to welcome representatives from the Great Federation's Senior Management.
The Arms Tycoons felt a sense of defeat within, but wore fake smiles on their faces, trying to display enthusiasm and a positive spirit as they greeted members from the Dove Faction and Centrists. Grat, who was at the forefront, gestured with his right hand, saying, "Gentlemen, please, we have prepared a banquet."
As the victorious representatives of the Dove Faction and Centrists, they should have held their heads high in response to Grat's invitation. Instead, they tacitly declined. "Haha, no rush, no rush," one of them replied. "Yes, Mr. Glatt, we're not very hungry at the moment."
While declining the invitation, both men frequently looked up as if waiting for something from above. This unusual behavior made Grat's heart race—what did it mean? Could they not even afford him this little courtesy? They had already lost and accepted it; now they couldn't even sit down for a meal together or share a drink?
Did Senior Management still intend to keep them under their thumb? Grat's mind raced as he tried to understand. Suddenly, the representatives from the Dove Faction became excited: "It's coming! It's coming!"
"What’s coming?" Grat instinctively looked up and saw that familiar UFO appearing abruptly as if it had jumped out from another dimension. His heart ignited with excitement—he wished he could possess such space-jumping technology! But then his heart sank; after their defeat, what right did they have to dream of alien technology?
As usual, the UFO emitted a faint glow. Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, Xu Lie's projection appeared, and a mechanical synthesized voice resonated throughout the area.
"Your research project has been completed; it's time to return."
Some perceptive individuals began to recall that when aliens first appeared in Metropolis and introduced themselves, they also stated their identification numbers first. Now there were two completely unfamiliar numbers—did this mean two Alien Lives?
In this moment of collective anticipation, Anthony and Charles stepped forward a few paces, secretly activating electronic components within their bodies. Their skin turned blue as faint electric sparks danced across their surfaces.
The sudden change in their appearance made it immediately clear to everyone that they were not human! In the next moment, a flash of light enveloped Anthony and Charles, the once-great figures of the metropolis, and they vanished into thin air. The UFO hovering above everyone's heads also mysteriously disappeared, leaving no trace behind.
The audience was left dumbfounded. No one could have guessed that such vividly portrayed characters as Anthony and Charles were actually disguised Alien Life!
"Wait, what? Mr. Anthony is an alien?!"
"This is outrageous! No wonder Anthony moved through the building like it was his home; they were basically one of their own!"
"This ending is just explosive!"
In an instant, the intensity of the Danmaku increased threefold, yet it had no effect on those within the Drama World. The two Senior Management members from the Dove Faction and Centrist watched in shock as the UFO took the Alien Life away. Panic surged within them—there were two aliens disguised as humans right beside them? How had they never noticed before?!
What a terrifying thought! After a moment of recovery, they were left completely dumbfounded. The Alien Life had promised them medication and technological products—was it all for nothing? They just left without leaving anything behind?
What happened to the promise of delivering goods via spaceship? What about the rewards for completing their mission? They were nothing but liars!
On the fringes, Grat felt a sense of loss but inexplicably found his mood lifting; perhaps defeat wasn't so unacceptable after all.
"So, the aliens never intended to share technology with us? What was all that commotion about with the Great Federation? There were riots in various regions and internal conflicts to quell."
"In short, the Great Federation was fooled by the aliens!"
"Impossible! It’s just that in this drama, the Great Federation is portrayed as foolish. In reality, we Amei would absolutely see through any lies from Alien Life!"
