Capítulo 66: Chapter 66: Upgrades people, Upgrades!

"Vulcan, can you hear me? Hello!?" Max kept trying to get the attention of the golem, but it was no use.

It was as if the golem was in a trance. Meanwhile, Vulcan was deep in thought about what he had just seen from the system. Territory? Loyal citizens? An upgrade to the system? What was going on? So many questions, yet so few answers.

It dawned on Vulcan that he had completely misinterpreted the system name this entire time. Was its name implying that he had to become a 'Monarch,' a ruler, essentially? Here he was, always thinking that the name was just over the top and cringy, but it actually had meaning to it. He also realized that the reason it hadn't activated the upgrade until now, even when he had more than 200,000 sentry bodies, was that they were still a part of him. The sentries were never considered 'citizens' by the system; he needed actual living beings like humans for that to happen.
