"We need to deepen our cooperation."
The voice of the God of Knowledge, Tom, shattered the tranquility of the Twisted Mindlands. His featureless, blank-page face was directed at Daniel, and there was an unmistakable tone of finality in his voice, one that brooked no refusal.
Daniel did not respond immediately but instead calmly gazed at him.
It seemed that Tom sensed Daniel's hesitation, and his voice became more urgent.
"This not only concerns your future, but also my very survival. The other 'mes,' those insane individuals, will not spare anyone who deviates from their plan, especially someone like me, who is willing to cooperate with you."
He raised his hand, as if about to make some form of commitment.
"I swear on knowledge itself, that all my calculations and advice will aim to defeat Knowledge Daniel and protect Aurelia as the highest priority. If I break this oath, I will annihilate myself and cease to exist across all timelines."
