PIFFF!!!
Across both realities, every single individual who possessed an AI bracelet suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, the unexpected physical manifestation of the system-wide alteration.
After another agonizing minute, the piercing sound finally ceased. Tyson slowly lowered his hands from his throbbing ears and looked up at Commander Wang and Joker, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"Did…? Did VRG just shut down?" he asked, his voice barely a whisper, tinged with a profound sense of horror.
"It seems so, son…" Joker replied, his usual jovial demeanor completely absent, replaced by a grim understanding.
Joker slowly stood up, his gaze fixed on his white AI bracelet. Where once vibrant numbers representing his countless life times had pulsed, now an endless, incomprehensible stream of digital currency scrolled across its surface – an amount of money he couldn't have even conceived of earning in a hundred lifetimes.
"My trillions of life times… converted into… Money?" he muttered, shaking his head in utter disbelief.
Tyson opened his palm, a familiar instinct driving him to summon his signature flames. But nothing happened. His hand remained empty, devoid of the magical energy that had been as natural as breathing for so long.
"Dad… I am powerless," he whispered, his voice thick with surprise, shock, and a deep sense of loss.
Joker carefully picked up his magnificent Mystical-class double-bladed sword, its intricate carvings now seeming dull and lifeless in his grasp.
"I can't feel its powers…"
Before he could finish his sentence, the sword shimmered violently, its form fracturing into countless glittering particles that swirled for a moment before vanishing completely into the air.
"This?"
Joker breathed, his eyes wide with stunned disbelief.
Commander Wang, his usually stoic face etched with bewilderment, simply stared at the space where the mystical weapon had been.
"So… what should we do now, Joker?" he asked, the question hanging heavy in the suddenly silent air.
"Joker was my in-game name. From now onwards, call me Theo,"
Theo said, his gaze sweeping over the sprawling city below, where the demonic forces stood in silent, unwavering ranks, their loyalty now directed towards a world that was fundamentally changing.
"There's nothing we can do… All we can hope for is our survival," he said, his voice devoid of its usual playful lilt, replaced by a stark realism.
Whoosh!
Tyson turned towards the city, his eyes widening as he witnessed figures materializing out of thin air, one after another.
"They have all been removed from the game city," he observed, a sense of finality in his tone.
An instinctive urge to fly seized him, but when he willed himself upwards, nothing happened. His feet remained firmly planted on the ground.
"This!" he exclaimed, a wave of frustration washing over him.
He slapped a hand to his forehead. "I'll have to learn how to move without powers!" he sighed, a wry smile touching his lips despite the gravity of the situation.
He nodded to the commander and his father, then turned and hurried towards the base of the towering wall, a newfound urgency in his steps.

"Erika?"
Jennifer slowly pushed herself up from the ground, her limbs feeling strangely heavy and unfamiliar.
"I can't believe this," she murmured, her voice laced with disbelief.
Erika, equally unsteady, rose to her feet, staring at her open palm as if expecting to see the familiar crackling energy that was no longer there.
"All my powers… gone," she added, the words feeling hollow and surreal.
Emily, Liliana, and Aria exchanged bewildered glances, their expressions reflecting a shared sense of being adrift in uncharted waters.
"But… I can still feel my powers," Jennifer muttered, her brow furrowed in confusion as she focused inward.
"Really?" Erika asked, her eyes widening in flabbergasted surprise.
"Yes," Jennifer confirmed, a red aura flickering around her hands.
"Wait… AI said it's only effective against anyone lower than the Transcendent realm, but you're a true god… But why did VRG shut down? What's happening?" Erika muttered, a whirlwind of unanswered questions swirling in her mind.
"Sister! Jennifer!!"
"Bestie, Sister-in-law!!"
The two women turned towards the familiar voices, relief washing over them as they saw Mira, Maria, and the Conquerors' elders rushing towards them, their faces etched with concern.
"Sister, we lost our powers," Maria said, her voice still trembling with disbelief.
"I know, I lost mine too," Erika reassured her sister, then added, her gaze turning back to Jennifer, "Jennifer is the only player who didn't lose her powers."
Everyone, including Tyson who had just reached their location, turned towards Jennifer in mild surprise. Before anyone could voice their questions, a sudden disturbance in the air drew their attention.
Whoosh!!
A swirling golden gateway materialized before them, its edges crackling with unseen energy.

Liliana frowned, a sense of cautious curiosity in her eyes. She took a tentative step towards the portal and reached out a hand. The moment her fingertips brushed against its shimmering surface, a violent surge of pure lightning erupted, striking her with unexpected force and sending her stumbling five steps backward.
"This?" she exclaimed, her crimson eyes wide with shock and a hint of pain as she stared at the pulsating gateway.
""Jennifer.""
The word echoed from the depths of the golden portal, ethereal and resonant, causing everyone present to freeze in stunned silence.
