My Ultimate Sign-in System Made Me Invincible
Chapter 723: Relativity Of TimeWith the world’s finances now in the open, what followed next was an even bigger downward trend, as the global financial markets crashed.
The world had four months to conduct house cleaning. But they realized four months was not enough time to clean up everything. The hidden liabilities and offshore accounts tangled together in complex webs. Lucidnet Finance displayed the actual numbers for everyone to see.
Citizens pulled out their phones and looked at the exact destination of their tax dollars. People walked out of their homes and marched in the streets of major capitals. They held digital signs displaying the real debt figures.
Governments tried to control the panic. They called emergency meetings inside secure bunkers. They froze banking networks and halted stock exchanges. The leaders realized they couldn’t fix decades of hidden theft. Prime ministers and presidents sat in quiet rooms. They stared at red tickers on their screens. They watched their economies collapse.
The world entered a new financial order. Large companies shut their doors. Security guards locked the gates of massive corporate headquarters. Offshore accounts vanished into the public record. Employees packed their belongings into cardboard boxes and walked out of office buildings. They carried their boxes to their cars and drove home.
Far above the chaos, Lucy smiled inside the Lunar Base. She stood in the center of the main control room. Her fingers danced across a large holographic interface. She routed power grids and managed logistics networks. Everything moved smoothly as Liam would want.
After the construction work on the fifty-five-kilometer space station had finished, the entire construction team left Earth’s orbit and made their way to Ganymede.
Ganymede was Jupiter’s largest moon. Lucy intended to build the primary defense outpost on its icy surface. This outpost was the foremost installation needed before the space tourism business line could launch.
The infrastructure and construction AGI extension displayed the resource allocation on the main screen. The AGI extension projected the defense outpost construction to take two months. It would take three months at maximum if they focused at least seventy percent of Nova Technologies’ resources on the project.
Lucy approved the resource allocation. She diverted power. She watched the fleet of automated ships accelerate toward Jupiter. After the defense outpost, she intended to start building defense and surveillance orbital stations. These stations would position themselves around the entire solar system. They would monitor every inch of space. Lucy kept all operations running on her end while her master handled the universal heat death.
Back on Earth, Liam’s friends prepared for their solar system tour. They gathered in Matt’s spacious living room in his private space shuttle. They stood around a large holographic map of the solar system. The map illuminated the room with a soft blue glow. They intended to tour the entire solar system. Their route started from the inner planets and extended to the outer planets. They decided they wouldn’t go beyond the dwarf planets.
Matt tapped the projection and traced a line from Earth to Mars. They wanted Liam to go with them but he was busy and they had no idea when he would finish his task. They decided to go on their own and they planned to leave in two weeks.
They had sat down with their parents earlier in the week and asked for permission to go on the trip that should be fraught with dangers, but not with how good the space shuttle and their exosuits are. Their parents gave their approval.
Matt finalized the flight path for his Vanguard-class custom luxury space shuttle, the Titanium Eagle. The eighty-meter spacecraft sat waiting on the tarmac. He checked the life support systems and the environmental controls on his tablet. He inspected the Suit Room and Gear Locker near the primary airlock. The automated storage alcoves held custom-fitted high-altitude vac suits and magnetic shoes.
The group packed their survival gear into large duffel bags. They stacked the bags near the front door. They sorted their rations and loaded their communication devices.

Liam sat in a lotus position in deep space. He floated in the absolute silence of the void. The light from distant stars illuminated his skin. His eyes remained closed as he mentally journeyed through the universe. He pushed his consciousness past galaxies and nebulas. He moved toward the edge of the universe.
The raging heat death consumed stars at the border of existence. Liam moved his mind toward the areas the heat death hadn’t reached. Time moved differently for everyone and Liam lost his sense of time.
Time moved in different ways for the people on Earth. Time moved fast for some. Time moved slow for others. Countries and companies struggled to contain the financial situation on their end.
Citizens held their governments financially accountable. They used the data from Lucidnet Finance to demand answers. They marched to city halls and demanded resignations. The chaos continued to spread across continents. They knew they had entered a new world order.
While the financial sector burned, the public waited for the medical nanites announcement. People checked their Lucidnet feeds every morning. They wanted to know when the product would arrive. They visited the official Nova Technologies page and refreshed the screen.
The space station kitchen staff ignored the terrestrial panic. They sourced ingredients for the upcoming opening. The head chef contacted agricultural suppliers on Earth. He ordered tons of fresh produce and rare spices. Cargo trucks delivered the food to the launch sites. The logistics drones loaded the crates into transport shuttles. The shuttles launched into orbit and docked with the space station.
The culinary team tested menus in the massive station kitchens. They chopped vegetables and grilled meats. They arranged the plates on metal counters. They adjusted their recipes and checked their storage freezers.
They unpacked thousands of utensils and stacked plates in the cabinets. They cleaned the massive ovens and sanitized the preparation tables. They needed to finish everything for the opening of the space in less than a month.
Time passed by a galloping horse. The world adapted to the open finances and the shifting power structures. Days bled into weeks, and weeks into a month. And like that, the month came to an end in the blink of an eye.
