Upon returning to Han's hotel room, Carn found his father in his suite. However, his expression was dark.
Carn canceled his transformation and approached his father, "Dad, what happened at the base? I heard you t Fleur."
Han looked up and gave Carn a aningful look. He asked his son seriously, "Carn. Are you into wide won?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Fleur said you forced yourself on her."
"…"
Carn smiled and silently facepald. He then sighed and explained himself, "Demon Lord Fleur once tried to kill . I destroyed her body. And now, she's my slave. To be honest, she should be harmless to us. She ntioned that I forced myself on her, right? She might an I forced her to sign an unfair slave contract."
"You didn't grape her?"
"I'm not into demon won. Hell, I'm not into necrophilia. She's a freaking ghost, Dad. Do you think I'm soone who will smash Ju*n, the R*ng's ghost, or Sadako?"
"You do."
Carn smacked his forehead while Han laughed. The father got up from his seat and patted Carn's shoulder, "Just kidding. I believe you. I know you're too spineless to get a girlfriend."
"…"
Carn gave Han a weird look, but the father kept laughing. Both forgot the fact that they were both reincarnators.
They continued chatting for another hour. Han also told Carn about the location of the ECD-77, aka the chalice.
Carn took a ntal note. He would confront Fleur later and get his hands on it. But for now, Carn made sure that Han was safe. As for Han, he insisted that he would stay away from the family for the ti being.
Carn teleported ho.
The day ended peacefully. Even though the holy spirits attempted to invade his dungeon, everything was still under his control.
.
The next day, Gwen and Wong left ho to visit a law firm to finalize their contracts and deals. As for Carn, he went to check on the Statue of Liberty in Miami.
Upon arrival, he found the statue and multiple gargoyles that he had created several days ago. They gathered at the beach, standing idly.
Tourists on the beach gathered to take pictures and videos of the living statues. As the gargoyles were on a standby mode, they didn't harm the tourists and the local.
Police officers were also in the area, but they seed relaxed. A few teams patrolled the area, but they casually interacted with tourists and stood next to the gargoyles as if they were harmless.
Carn was surprised to see the gargoyles. He thought that Ferdinand and others had already destroyed them when Carn was arrested. He wondered how they survived.
Taking precautions, he teleported and landed on top of Liberty Statue's head. He stood there and questioned her via telepathy.
"What happened here? Where are those gargoyles from?"
The statue transmitted her thoughts to him in images. Carn then saw a flashback of gargoyles that Ferdinand's n had defeated with their hi-tech weapons. Several slideshow images later, a new image of a holy beacon erged and landed on the destroyed statues. They were resurrected afterward. When they regained their senses, they followed their benefactor.
And that benefactor was none other than the Statue of Liberty, who had personally resurrected the dead gargoyles.
"Oh, so that's why."
Carn understood everything. He praised Miss Liberty Statue, "Well done. You must have used up your gold marks. I'm going to share so with you."
The statue slightly nodded and smiled. Can then injected 50,000 gold marks to her, hoping that she would find it useful. He then instructed her.
"Keep being friendly to the humans. We have no more reason to harm them anymore. The people that I wanted dead are all dead."

She nodded again. This ti, her smile got brighter.
"As for the gargoyles around you…"
Carn looked at the crowd below. The gargoyle statues also noticed Carn's presence and looked up, waiting for his instructions. However, Carn cast a holy spell on them.
"You guys have done enough. Go on, and pass on."
Several gold beacons shone upon the gargoyles, and the spirits of enslaved humans were released. However, instead of shooting Carn a glare of resentnt, they cheerfully smiled and thanked him. They vanished peacefully afterward.
However, the statues that they had used as a host remained intact. Their postures changed, and they all crouched like a monkey. When the position was completed, they stopped moving forever, transforming into permanent lifeless statues.
Carn shrugged. This was for the best. He then left the Liberty Statue alone and returned ho.
.
Staying ho and doing nothing felt nice for once. Carn chilled at Gwen's ho, waiting for the dungeon to finish evolving. He also waited for the saints and holy spirits to start showing up and dealing with the undead uprising.
On TV, a news channel that featured foreign affairs showed a translated interview with India's savior, a monk. His face and deanor oozed the air of kindness and sincerity.
But the pixelated TV couldn't capture the figure of the holy spirit behind the monk. Carn frowned as his eyes also couldn't see the spirit since the TV itself couldn't display the figure properly.
The monk also spoke well. He explained how he closed two rifts in a row within two days. Though the casualty was high, he ensured that the country would be safe from the upcoming calamity.
Carn switched channels and found a report from France.
The outbreak was already in the quarantine phase. Hunters from all over Europe poured into the region to hold the lines. Priests and a saint from the Vatican also moved in, and they were in the middle of confronting a regular lich on the frontline.
Carn paused to think. He could simply go there and close the rift while everybody was busy. If he could purify the undead monsters in Paris, he would reap millions of Aether at once.
But on the other hand, he could sit back and watch the world burn. After all, the holy spirits wanted recognition and godhood. They would do sothing to eventually stop the undead.
Judging the pros and cons, Carn decided to ss up their well-crafted plan. He then explored the internet map and asured the distance between his location and Paris.
Roughly 4,500 miles or 7,200 kiloters separated them. If Carn wanted to, he could make haste and get there in two hours using only five silver marks.
However, his dungeon hadn't finished evolving yet. Leaving his dungeon for a short-term goal wouldn't be worth it. Not all holy spirits erged yet, and Carn had no idea where the others were. He decided to play it safe and wait.
.
A week quickly passed by. The undead armies also seed to slow down even though Kaim and Mordred made their appearance in Japan and opened another rift there.
Gwen and Wong's lawyer team had already claid the lottery winning prize as a blind trust, and they transferred the winning prize after taxes and lawyer fees to their bank accounts as promised.
The two won were overjoyed. Gwen consulted everybody and said that she wished to visit California. She went on a shopping spree while Wong pulled an ancient abacus out of nowhere and started calculating sothing on her own.
In the end, they ca to a conclusion. As Carn and Wong were still wanted fugitives, Wong planned to go into hiding in a third-world country, naly the mafia paradise, country T. As long as they had money, no cops would bother with them, and the living cost there was considered one of the cheapest in the region.
Gwen also felt adventurous. As she still wanted Carn to make more money for them, she consulted Wong and decided to tag along as their official dium-man.
Carn left the planning to the won. He didn't mind.
However, there was a problem. They needed a new identity as their nas and faces were known. Gwen asked for another week to get their new passports, which they agreed. As such, Carn got stuck in Gwen's house for another week.
.
Three days later, the dungeon evolution was completed. Carn visited the dungeon core chamber and found the interior had been fully decorated and transford.
Instead of a round chamber, it was reshaped into a square room. The ceiling was still made of white Ether Stone, but a hallway path had already been created, which extended eastward.
Curious, Carn followed the way and found a new square hall, consisting of nothing but white roman pillars, made of ether stones. He admired the place and asured the room capacity.
It was wide enough.
"Boss room, I see."
Carn nicknad it right away. From here on out, he could freely craft new dungeon floors, rooms, or a labyrinth as he wished. If he wanted to move or relocate the dungeon, he could simply take the dungeon core, and the entire dungeon space would go along with the orb.
He was ready for the migration. He then summoned his subordinates over to brief them.
Gawain, Rosa, and rlin imdiately rushed over and t Carn in Gwen's living room. They were eager for a change as they were bored to death.
Carn then showed them a basketball-sized dungeon orb to the trio and asked them, "Do a favor. I want you to learn a shapeshifting spell and shrink yourself into an object that I can carry. We're moving to country T."
"Country T? Why the secrecy? Where is that? Turkey? Taiwan?" Rosa was puzzled as to why Carn chose the abbreviation.
"Don't question my logic. Anyway, learn it in four days. Make sure that I can stuff y'all into my luggage bag."
"…"
