  Aaron stood before the core console of the decentralized network, his screen flashing with an endless stream of data. His hands moved rapidly over the virtual interface, trying to crack the final smart contract barrier left by Black Emperor.

  "Black Emperor… what kind of trap have you set?"

  His fingertips trembled—not from fear, but from exhilaration. Every line of code, every rule of the smart contract, felt like a chain of fate that he was about to shatter with his own hands.

  System Alert: Hidden Smart Contract Detected—"Dark Monarch Protocol."

  Aaron’s pupils shrank. Black Emperor had embedded an immutable smart contract at the blockchain’s deepest layer, ensuring that even in defeat, he could resurrect himself within the decentralized network.

  "This isn’t just about winning or losing… this is immortality?"

  This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

  Taking a deep breath, Aaron's fingers flew across the interface, reverse-engineering Black Emperor’s contract logic.

  But the moment he attempted to call the contract’s code, the system rejected his access. Black Emperor had prepared for this—setting the contract to "sole owner mode," making it impossible for anyone but himself to modify or terminate it.

  "Damn… I need a higher authority contract!"

  Pulling up his encrypted storage, Aaron sifted through his collection of smart contract codes. Finally, he found one powerful enough to counter the Dark Monarch Protocol—a Multi-Signature Consensus Contract.

  Rule: When a smart contract is deemed a threat to the network’s overall security, the Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) will vote on whether to activate Supernode Intervention.

  "Decentralized Council, initiate Supernode Consensus!"

  Instantly, hundreds of smart contract nodes across the globe came online, converging data at an unprecedented speed. Aaron’s code spread like wildfire, injecting a new consensus mechanism into Ethereum Layer 2’s core protocol—triggering the decentralized network to determine whether Black Emperor’s contract posed a systemic threat.

  A holographic projection flickered to life—Black Emperor’s face emerged from the darkness, his gaze cold and unreadable.

  "Aaron… you’re getting smarter."
