The Program World created by the Mother had completely transformed into streams of green code flowing into Little Yellow's body.
The consciousnesses forcibly drawn into the Program World, including Han Dong and the others, also broke free and returned to their physical bodies.
Including Death God Alex, everyone awoke from nutrient pods soaked in mucus. Numerous cables connected to one end of the pods, while the other ends led toward the center.
Little Yellow's original appearance as a garbage robot had completely vanished.
Only a metal sphere bearing the Hyperion Company logo spun in midair, signifying that the World Node of The Matrix had been inscribed onto Little Yellow's chip.

The seemingly advanced metal sphere evolved into the same rectangular garbage robot as before.
An old-fashioned camera served as its eyes,
Worn-out tires were attached to its lower body,
And its two flimsy metal arms, which looked easy to snap, danced excitedly.
"Although I've gained the ability of Atomic Rearrangement and can freely alter my body's state... I'm still used to my original body! Boss, thank you so much!"

Before long, footsteps actually sounded from the other side of the doors.
