Kill the Sun

Chapter 805: Vitality City

Gluttony accepted Nick's deal and directly sent him to the most troublesome city.

Vitality City.

Vitality City was one of the most hotly contested spots in the Grand Continent.

It was located at the border between Wrath's, Sloth's, and Gluttony's territories.

Vitality City was a very special city for humanity and was different from most other cities.

Nick remembered the hospital in Crimson City. He had gone there a couple of times.

The hospital used medicine produced by a powerful Specter, and that Specter resided in Vitality City.

The hospitals that spanned across the globe all came from this city.

This city was one of the richest cities in the world.

It had imposingly powerful and tall walls with the most advanced defenses humanity had access to.

Advanced technology was everywhere, and most people working in the city simply processed information instead of repairing streets or farming.

One of the most imposing megastructures in the entire world was in the center of the city.

It was a tower.

The tower was only 500 meters wide, but it was over eight kilometers tall.

The elite of the city all resided in the tower, while the poorer people lived outside the tower.

The inside and outside of the tower were two completely different worlds.

Despite being such a rich city, the people living outside the tower did not lead nice lives.@@@@

Surprisingly, despite being the capital of medicine, the outside of Vitality City was filled with disease.

One reason for that was the immense price of medicine, but the other reason was something else.

There was a Specter spreading disease outside the tower, and people needed the expensive medicine to survive.

But the people didn't know that.

They had lived in this city for all of their lives, and they thought that they were lucky to live here.

People became sick all the time, but they had the luck to live in the most medically advanced city in the world.

They could purchase medicine that dealt with all of these diseases, while sick people in other cities would just die.

Of course, that wasn't true.

The intensity and regularity of these diseases were far outside the norm.

Sadly, the people didn't know that.

So, Gluttony sent Nick.

If Nick could get rid of this city, the conflict between Sloth and Wrath would intensify in that area, taking pressure off Gluttony.

In exchange, Nick would get to keep this city.

It sounded like a great deal, but it was obvious that it wouldn't be so simple.

The problem was not taking Vitality City.

The problem was keeping it.

Vitality City would draw the attention of Sloth and Wrath, and they would try their best to get it back.

It might even be worth it to send a Fallen.

Of course, that was part of Gluttony's plan.

Nick would take care of the most troublesome city, and with luck, he would die to Wrath or Sloth.

In that way, Gluttony would be the only one who benefited.

After looking at the city for a while, Nick left again.

He told Gluttony that he would only need three years to take care of the city, but in truth, he would only need a couple of days or weeks.

The only thing he needed to do was to gather information and alert Aegis.

When it came to gathering information, Nick was at the very top.

But he couldn't show his true power to Gluttony.

Because of that, he said that he would need three years.

Nick spent the next three years listening to the contained Adversary, and after delivering the new books of information to the researchers, Nick returned to Vitality City. ℟AɴOʙĚŜ

Nick's perception was terrifyingly powerful, and since he could also read the minds of weaker people, he found the Specter representing Pestilence within only a single day.

The inside of the tower was a bit more difficult, but Nick only needed four days to find all the relevant parties.

Five days.

That was all Nick needed to find all the information he needed.

Nick killed a corrupt Specialist and took on their identity.

Then, through a couple of tricks, Nick sent a message to Aegis.

Two days later, a team of Agents arrived in Vitality City.

The author's patreon. If he gets more than 1000€ per month, he will increase the number of words in the chapter.
