My Ultimate Sign-in System Made Me Invincible Chapter 467 Friends' Drama

Rays of afternoon sun poured through the expansive windows of Liam's bedroom in Bellemere Mansion, casting intricate designs on the polished wooden floor as he stirred awake, his face beaming with a joy utterly independent of the daylight outside.

He'd lingered awake much longer than wise, browsing the responses to the dual announcements with the deep contentment of seeing meticulously plotted schemes execute flawlessly. The ensuing disorder was splendid in its foreseeability.

Despair, optimism, rage, official frenzy—each surged through social platforms and media channels in rhythms that he observed rising and crashing with near-aesthetic delight.

Lucy had phrased it impeccably. Detached, formal, and crushing in its undertones. The offhand reference to the extraterrestrial site. The courteous offer for oversight inspectors, underscoring that their attendance was hardly essential. The schedule allowing authorities scant moments to hustle yet insufficient for mounting real resistance. Each line was designed to convey a single clear point: Nova Technologies was declaring, not requesting.

This matched his vision precisely. He had zero intention of seeking clearance from any oversight body to begin with. The motive behind instructing Whitlock to secure FDA and CDC endorsements wasn't reliance on them. Instead, it served as his method of alerting those entities in advance to his impending actions.

Not that prior notice truly aided them, though he had extended that small favor regardless.

He could vividly picture worldwide governments tearing at their locks in frustration, furious yet powerless all the same. The genius behind the Medical Nanites reveal bore endless praise. Proposing observers for the test while deeming them unnecessary felt like a sharp rebuke to leaders everywhere.

Yet Liam understood that despite their frantic deliberations, no real countermeasures existed. Ultimately, they'd yield, but only following declarations of 'unverified outcomes' and similar bureaucratic lingo to preserve dignity.

Stretching lazily, Liam grabbed his phone from the bedside table. Its display glowed with alerts from the friends' group chat. The lock screen glimpse revealed they'd been up for ages, and the discussion had evidently been heated.

Numerous mentions of his name dotted the feed. They'd been dissecting both reveals, grappling with their implications, struggling to align their old pal with the figure unveiling innovations set to transform society.

Tapping the alert, Liam fully accessed the thread.

Liam: Morning everyone

Replies flooded in right away, piling up in a rapid cascade:

Matt: THERE HE IS

Kristopher: Morning

Alex: About time you woke up

Harper: We've been waiting

Stacy: Good afternoon you mean 😂

Kristy: Hi!

Lana: Morning Liam!

Elise: Hey

A grin spread across Liam's face as he gazed at the display, sensing the comforting glow from this close-knit circle.

Liam: How's everyone doing?

Matt: Fine

Matt: And not fine

Matt: At the same time somehow

Alex: That's accurate actually

Liam's grin grew broader. He grasped their sentiment perfectly.

Liam: What's wrong?

A momentary hush fell, as if they were choosing the first to voice it.

Matt: Okay so

Matt: When you said you'd be releasing a medical device to disrupt healthcare

Matt: We were thinking like

Matt: Maybe in a few months?

Matt: Not THE LITERAL NEXT DAY

Stacy: We thought we had time to prepare emotionally

Kristy: I'm still processing the Studio announcement and then you dropped MEDICAL NANITES

Kristopher: The clinical trial starting in three months is what got me

Kristopher: That's not a timeline. That's barely a warning.

As Liam scanned the texts, his look evolved from entertained to contemplative. Their point held merit. The pace was bold. Intentionally aggressive.

Liam: I felt it was better to release the information earlier rather than later. The technology exists. People need to know it exists. Waiting another few months doesn't change anything except delay access.

Kristopher: You just keep shocking us on a daily basis

Kristopher: And I'm not complaining

Kristopher: The Medical Nanites are going to revolutionize global healthcare and I'm all for it

Kristopher: I'm just saying my heart can only take so much excitement

Matt: Same

Alex: I can't wait for both rollouts honestly

Alex: The Studio announcement has film school people melting down on LucidNet

Alex: And the Medical Nanites have literally everyone else melting down

Alex: It's beautiful chaos

Stacy: Liam really woke up and chose violence 😂

Stacy: Two civilization-ending announcements in fifteen minutes

Stacy: I'm excited about Studio and I'm equally excited about the Nanites

Stacy: I just can't wait to see what the future looks like with all this

Liam pondered his reply with care. They were absorbing it gradually, which suited him fine. Still, he aimed to convey the full breadth of upcoming changes.

Liam: You won't have to wait long. I'm planning to release the Medical Nanites between eight to twelve months after the trials complete successfully.

Silence gripped the chat briefly. Then:

Kristopher: That's really fast

Kristopher: I was expecting like two years minimum

Kristopher: Between trials and regulatory approval and manufacturing scaling

Matt: Same

Alex: How is six months even possible?

Liam grinned at the phone. They were envisioning standard schedules, traditional methods. Nova Technologies defied such norms.

Liam: Two years is too long. People are dying from preventable causes every day. Every month we delay deployment is thousands of lives that could have been saved. Six months gives us time to set up distribution infrastructure and manufacturing at scale. That's all we need.

Liam: And I'm actually planning to reduce the timeline to the start of clinical trials to sixty days instead of ninety.

Elise: You're really not giving governments time to breathe

Liam's grin sharpened.

Liam: I never planned to.

Harper: The regulatory agencies must be losing their minds

Stacy: I saw some government official on the news this morning trying to explain why they couldn't force you to get FDA approval

Stacy: He looked miserable

Matt: Good

Kristy: That sounds mean but also... yeah

A short lull hit the talk, followed by Kristopher's input.

Kristopher: Can I ask you something serious?

Liam: Of course

Kristopher: What do you plan to do about the mass layoffs that are going to happen when Medical Nanites penetrate deep into healthcare?

Kristopher: Like I'm fully supportive of what you're doing

Kristopher: But millions of people work in hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, insurance

Kristopher: What happens to them?

The query lingered in the thread momentarily. Liam valued it—Kristopher was examining broader impacts, secondary consequences overlooked by many reveling in the news.

Liam: Nova Technologies will employ some of them when the rollout starts. We'll need people for distribution, deployment, customer service, facility operations. But you're right that millions will lose their jobs, and we won't be able to absorb all of them.

Liam: The thing is, people have been losing jobs to technological advancement for centuries. Automation, AI, efficiency improvements—it's been happening continuously even without Nova Technologies doing anything. The Medical Nanites accelerate that process in one specific industry, but they also eliminate human suffering on a scale that's never been possible before.

Liam: I don't have a complete solution for mass unemployment yet. But I'm working on it. There's a lot more coming from Nova Technologies that will create new economic opportunities, new industries, new ways for people to contribute value. It's just not ready to announce yet.

Kristopher: Fair enough

Kristopher: I just wanted to put it out there

Kristopher: You're advancing humanity and the way you're doing it is incredible

Kristopher: But like every advancement in science and technology, there are downsides

Kristopher: Just wanted to make sure you're thinking about them

Liam: I am. And I appreciate you bringing it up. You don't need to worry—there's a lot more in development that addresses exactly these concerns. Nova Technologies isn't just about disrupting existing systems. It's about building new ones that work better for everyone.

Lana: I trust you

Lana: Can't wait to see everything you have planned

Matt: Same

Alex: Yeah we're with you

Stacy: Obviously

Warmth swelled in Liam's chest. These friends predated all this whirlwind. Their faith carried a unique weight, beyond mere fanfare or investor assurance.

Liam: Actually, I have a surprise for you all.

The thread stilled for a beat, and Liam pictured them all fixated on their screens, pondering what fresh bombshell could follow the previous night's upheavals.

Alex: What kind of surprise?

Alex: Please tell me it's not another civilization-altering technology

Alex: I need at least 48 hours to recover

Harper: My heart can't take another shock

Matt: Just tell us 😂

Liam beamed at his device.

Liam: I'm unlocking the phone function on your Lucid devices.

Silence enveloped the chat instantly. No keystrokes, no emojis, zero activity. The sort of quiet born from a group blindsided by unforeseen news.

Then the barrage erupted.

Matt: WAIT

Matt: WHAT
