After so many years, Chu Mu heard his friend's name again.
The robot who had once been trapped in the Great Dump was now the leader of the Mechanical Settlement.
Chu Mu knew that Svarog's core directive was to preserve the Underworld.
In principle, his goals should have aligned with Wildfire's, putting the welfare of the Underworld's people first.
Now, Wildfire wanted to launch an uprising, break through Cocolia's blockade, and charge up to the surface through the Core Furnace Hub.
But Svarog had taken a stand against Wildfire. Not only had he sealed off the Core Furnace Hub, he even refused to communicate with Wildfire's members.
Wildfire had sent many people to negotiate with Svarog, but every attempt had failed.
There was another faction in the Underworld: the vagrants. But after some unpleasant incidents a few days earlier, they had joined forces with Svarog's Mechanical Settlement.
The vagrants had always clashed with the miners. Their disputes used to be minor scuffles, but tensions had recently escalated.
As the guardians responsible for maintaining order, the Wildfire Organization naturally sided with the miners, leading to a large-scale conflict with the vagrants in the mining area.
In the end, Oleg had led the Wildfire Organization into the Great Mine. Though small skirmishes still broke out from time to time, the situation had largely stabilized.
After their defeat, many vagrants had joined Svarog's Mechanical Settlement to seek protection.
Now, the Wildfire Organization could no longer shake the increasingly powerful Mechanical Settlement, and its planned counterattack on the Upper District faced failure as well.
Still, Chu Mu's arrival seemed capable of changing things.
Chu Mu immediately volunteered.
He would go see Svarog! Just as they had agreed back then, he would awaken his old friend's memories!
Provided Svarog was willing to see him.
