The faint, golden light of dawn began to seep through the heavy curtains, painting soft patterns across the rich tapestries of Aria's chamber. A gentle stirring broke the silence as Aria's eyes fluttered open. She lay for a moment, listening to the distant chirping of birds and the quiet hum of the central palace. With a slow, deliberate breath, she pushed back the silken covers, the luxurious fabric rustling softly as she began to rise, shaking off the last vestiges of sleep and preparing to face the new day.
"Good morning, Dream," Aria called out as she stepped off her bed, waiting for a response. "Dream… Dream?" she repeated, growing impatient as A small holographic projection flickered into existence beside her, showing Dream looking profoundly exhausted and still in Bed. "WAAAh!… Aria, is that you? Sorry, I just had a long night," he mumbled, rubbing his eyes. "What happened? Did Joon escape?" Aria asked, concerned by his tired state.
"No, no, nothing like that," Dream sighed. "It's your clone number 2, basically. What happened is, after you sent your clone Number 2 into the internal world? She first started exploring and found the palace garage where all your cars are kept, called for me, and demanded I teach her how to drive. At first, I didn't think much of it. We took the modified Lamborghini Huracán out to the open fields of your internal world to practice. "So, what's the problem?" Aria pressed.
"The problem is I thought she'd take it slow," Dream replied, shrinking further down into his blanket. "After a few minutes of driving of teaching her how to dive, she just said, 'Put on your seat belt.' She floored it, hitting speeds of up to 200km/h! The shocking part is that after just a few explanations and practice, her handling was like that of a seasoned master; she could calculate the exact speed to execute god-like drifts and perform insane stunts." Dream groaned.
"I thought the joyride would last maybe two hours, but she drove from 10:00 pm last night until 6:00 am this morning! She just recently parked the car, and I've been trying to catch some sleep ever since. "He said as he snuggled deeper into his pillow. "You should probably check on Joon's clone to see how it's acting, because yours is highly unpredictable." With that final warning, Dream cut off his holographic feed, leaving Aria standing alone, contemplating the surprising audacity and mechanical prowess of her own clone.
"Hey, Number 2, come out!" Aria says as her fission clone number 2 appears in front of her after hearing her call. "What the hell happened yesterday? I did not give you an order to drive my cars?" Aria asks her fission clone. "Well, I was bored and really wanted to learn more about the cars Bhaal gave you. I know you, too, have been curious about them ever since you saw your companions riding the modified black Lamborghini in your internal world. I have already learnt how to drive and can automatically pass the knowledge on how to drive to you." Number 2 says as her eyes begin to glow a bright golden light.
"Wait, I thought I needed to absorb you in order to obtain the knowledge and skills you gain," Aria asks number 2. "In order for you to obtain the skills of your clone, you will need to absorb your clones into your consciousness, as for the knowledge your clones obtain, it can be shared seamlessly and without difficulty, no matter where you are."Number 2 answers as a golden light begins to glow in Arias' eyes. "So that's how they work," Aria says as knowledge of how cars actually operate fills her mind. "Okay, this is pretty cool," Aria says, seemingly impressed by the innovation and creativity of the humans from Earth 92. "Thanks, number 2, for now I need you to stay in the real world and do what I would do, while I focus on monitoring Joon's clone," Aria commanded number two as she started to teleport her real body into the internal world appearing in her main palace bedroom where she sees various books and manuals placed on a nearby table as she goes to investigate she finds the books and manuals are mainly comprised of topics concerning life gene level and the origin continent.
"By the way, what were you doing before I called you?" Aria asks as she appears on a holographic screen next to number 2, who is currently preparing to go to the bath in Aria's bath house. "I was in your main palace room where I was researching on life gene levels and cultivation levels from the origin continent and oh boy the beings from that universe operate on a different power scale entirely, compared to them if we were to fight even the weakest we would not last even a second and I am not exaggerating, the main reason why even the most powerful beings from the origin continent don't dare to interfere with the world of Toril is because it is located within The Great Wheel cosmology. "the grate wheel cosmology, what's that?" Aria asks as she opens another holographic screen, which currently shows what Joon is doing. The display showed Joon's clone currently meditating in the mansion's dojo.
"The great wheel cosmology is one of the three thousand-dimensional cosmic seas located within the universe sea currently controlled by the SUPREME OVERLORD AO. AO, the overgod, as the gods call him, is a feared but relatively unknown overlord within the universe sea. From what I have gathered, AO is the supreme ruler of all the known gods in Toril, referred by some as an Independent Chaotic Origin Lifeform, others refer to him as a Chaotic Origin Ancestor, others refer to him as a Primogenitor, but most refer to him simply as Overlord AO." Number 2 says as she momentarily pauses.
The other reason are the pinnacle races which rules most of the great wheel cosmology, who aside from cultivating genetic and a few cultivating spiritual energy are able to naturally use mana or what is commonly call the weave in Toril, naturally, the strongest of the pinnacle races being the Celestials who even their weakest members comprise of Domain lords, who aside from cultivating genetic and a few cultivating spiritual energy are naturally able to use an innate ability called divinity or what mortals call holy energy or divine magic which they use in order to bestow powers to their followers, the more followers a celestial has the greater his divine influence,
Below them are Demons a race born from the Abyss, a plane of pure chaos where they are constantly created no matter how many of them die more and more of them appear, who aside from using mana, cultivating genetic and a few cultivating spiritual energy they are naturally able to use an innate ability called Demonic energy and are headed by the overlord called Demogorgon,.
The third strongest are the devils, a race currently residing in the Nine Hells, comprised of an ordered hierarchical plane, each headed by an arch devils who answer only to their overlord, called Asmodeus. Aside from cultivating genetic and a few cultivating spiritual energy they are naturally talented when it comes to using mana when compared to mana users of the same level for example a demon may use magic to raise 5 undead warriors while a devil using the same spell is capable of summoning 15 undead warriors and have the capability to use souls which they obtain through contracts with mortal and other means in order to increase their own powers.
In short, Devils are Lawful evil. They make deals which end with them owning the set mortal's soul upon his or her death in exchange for wealth, power or favors. They have a literal bureaucracy going on, while Demons, on the other hand, are chaotic evil, hate everything so much that they want to annihilate everything. This is what has led to the Blood War. This war has persisted since the Age Before Ages, a dark era before the Prime Material Plane fully came into existence, till this day. The conflict is vast, extending across multiple planes of reality and involving an almost countless number of devils and fiends.
The prevailing reason for the gods' restraint is that the Blood War functions as a cosmic lock on the destructive forces of the Abyss. The devils of the Nine Hells and the demons of the Abyss are diametrically opposed in their philosophy, lawful evil versus chaotic evil. However, if either side were to achieve total victory, they would turn their immense destructive power on the rest of the multiverse, including the Prime Material Plane. The devils, being organized and disciplined, would become an unstoppable conquest force, while the demons, driven by pure chaos, would seek to unmake all of creation. From the perspective of the good & evil-aligned celestials, the eternal deadlock of the Blood War is a necessary evil. It occupies the fiends, ensuring that their destructive energies are contained and expended on each other, rather than on the Upper Planes or the mortal realms. While giving them time to grow their power, and they have from what I have learnt, AO, the all-father has created the Celestial God Country, an organization comprised of gods of various ranks to safeguard and protect the balance within the great wheel cosmology at all costs. The requirement for joining this cosmic organization requires an individual to be a god or a demigod whose power level is at least on the level of a domain lord.
The other reason why the overlords from the origin don't interfere with the great wheel cosmology pinnacle races is because of how supreme Operation Laws on death work here. When a celestial deity dies, their divine power is either lost, claimed, or shifts into a new deity.
When a demon is killed outside the Abyss, its body dissolves into demon ichor, and its soul immediately reforms in the Abyss, potentially creating a new body. To permanently destroy a demon, it must be killed within the Abyss itself, or its essence must be prevented from returning to its home plane, such as by a soul-trapping spell. If a devil is killed outside of the Nine Hells, it disappears in a puff of smoke or turns to ichor and reforms in the Nine Hells after a while. If a devil is killed within the Nine Hells, it is permanently destroyed.
Lastly the lowest of the races are the Mortals and monstrous races comprised of various lesser races including humans, elves, half elves, dwarves, tieflings etc. with very few having the ability to even awaken spiritual or genetic energy for example out of every 3 million only one may be capable of using genetic or spiritual energy on the other hand a relatively good number of people have the capability to master magic, aura and even be bestowed divine power from the gods they serve, if one chooses to serve a demon he or she is blessed with demonic energy and if one chooses to ser a devil he or she exchanges his soul in order to obtain wealth and magic power beyond their wildest dreams, with the strongest of the reaching levels that can rival a planetary level cultivator. Among the races of mortals, the strongest among them are the Dragons, who are capable of reaching the strength of a planetary level upon reaching adulthood.
"This is just scratching the surface, let me break down what I found about this form of Genetic and Spiritual Cultivation system according to Bhaals record, starting with the baseline: the Student level," Number 2 began, her tone shifting to that of a seasoned academic reporting critical research as a holographic screen appeared next to Aria who sat on a nearby sofa while still monitoring Joons clone. From the number 2 holograph, Aria saw the above info.
Genetic and Spiritual Cultivation Realm Levels and Stages
Student level: 1st to 9th stage. With a lifespan of 100 years, Individuals at this level awaken and strengthen their genetic energy or spiritual energy if they are spirit masters.
Apprentice Level: 1st to 9th stage, with a lifespan of 100 years. Individuals have a basic mastery of genetic energy or spiritual energy if they are spirit masters.
Planetary Level: 1st to 9th stage, with a lifespan of 1000 years. This is the true universal entry level. The cultivator forms a miniature internal "planet" in their sea of consciousness, granting them the capability for long-term space travel and survival.
Stellar Level: 1st to 9th stage. With a lifespan of 1 Eras, A major power leap occurs where the internal planet in their sea of consciousness expands, transforming the cultivator's core into a miniature star system. Despite the name, these cultivators are still considered low-tier soldiers on a galactic scale. Members of this level obtain universal citizenship depending on which race they belong to.
Universe Level: 1st to 9th stage, with a lifespan of 10 Eras. At this stage, the internal star system in their sea of consciousness achieves a harmonious balance of energies, allowing the cultivator to gain rudimentary control over their surrounding space. At this point, the power difference between this level and the one before becomes massive.
Domain Master: 1st to 9th stage, with a lifespan of 100 Eras, the cultivator takes their internal star system and fuses its stellar black holes into one central core in their sea of consciousness. This grants them the ability to influence and control space within a limited "domain. They are powerful enough to be actively sought after by galactic nations for service.
World Master/Realm Lord: 1st to 9th stage With a lifespan of 1000 Eras. This is where the core transforms into a miniature "world, granting them immense power and an astounding natural lifespan. Realm Lords can literally store life within their miniature world. As long as their life cores remain safe, they can't die for 1000 Eras and possess a deep understanding of the universe's laws.
Immortals: 1 Reincarnation Era if they don't live in a True Gods miniature universe, 3 Reincarnation Eras if they live in a True God Miniature Universe, Eternal if they live in the Miniature Universe of a Void True God or higher level cultivators. Reaching this level grants true immortality from natural causes. Immortals are categorized by their law comprehension and strength:
-Immortal Army Lord: An ordinary Immortal, often commanding vast universe level forces
-Immortal Marquis: Possesses a greater, more sophisticated understanding of the original laws.
-Immortal King: The strongest of the Immortal ranks, with subdivisions like Pinnacle, Limit, and Invincible Immortal Kings. An Invincible Immortal King can sometimes even challenge a Universe Venerable.
Universe Venerable: Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced, Universe Overlord, 1 Reincarnation Era if they don't live in a True Gods miniature universe, 3 Reincarnation Eras if they live in a True God Miniature Universe, Eternal if they live in a the Miniature Universe of a Void True God or higher level cultivators. A level that proves an insurmountable ceiling for most Immortal Kings. These beings have a deeper understanding of laws and can kill Immortal Kings with frightening ease.
Universe Master: Tier 1 to Tier 6 :1 Reincarnation Era if they don't live in a True God miniature universe, 3 Reincarnation Eras if they live in a True God Miniature Universe, Eternal if they live in the Miniature Universe of a Void True God or higher level cultivators. A colossal leap beyond a Universe Venerable, representing an even more profound comprehension of universal laws.
True God: Tier 7 to 10: 3 Reincarnation Eras, 1 Reincarnation cycle of the continent of origin if living in a Holy Land of True God of Void Space to 2nd level God king. A True God creates their own "miniature universe." Their strength is directly tied to the quality of this universe, which is a true universe in itself and evolves over time.
Void True God: Tier 11 to 13 :1 reincarnation cycle of the continent of origin, Eternal if living in a Holy Land of the ultimate God king and above. This level is A step higher, allowing a cultivator to survive beyond the cyclical destruction of universes; they are practically unkillable within their own reality.
Eternal True God: Tier 1 to 10: 1 reincarnation cycle of the continent of origin, Eternal if living in a Holy Land of the ultimate God king and above. Even more powerful, an Eternal True God's miniature universe can house and protect countless life forms, functioning as a safe harbor.
Primal Chaos Sovereign:1 reincarnation cycle of the continent of origin, Eternal if living in a Holy Land of the ultimate God king and above. A legendary realm requiring the comprehension of the Law of Chaos.
God King: 1 reincarnation cycle of the continent of origin, Eternal if you live in a Holy Land of the ultimate God king and above. To ascend to the rank of God King, you must master at least one Major Branch of a Dao, which is the foundational step. Following that, you must completely transform your Chaos Space into a real Miniature Universe, a pocket of genuine creation. Finally, you must achieve a breakthrough in both your Holy Land and your Divine Body to solidify that sovereign status.
God Emperor& Low Level Chaotic Origin Lifeform: Eternal lifespan, Attained by fully comprehending a Complete Great Dao, cultivators are forced to stop relying on external guidance and must forge their own path in order to advance.
High Level Chaotic Origin Lifeform: Eternal lifespan, attained by comprehending a World Class/Level Hunyuan/Chaotic Origin Lifeform Bloodline through Bloodline/Will/Dao Path.
World Chaotic Origin Lifeform: Early, Middle, Late, Perfect Eternal, The only two known paths to reach that absolute level of power are incredibly difficult, You must either comprehend a World Class/Level Hunyuan/Chaotic Origin Lifeform Bloodline in its entirety, or you must become the master of your original Caged World by first comprehending half of every existing Dao to the Second Level God King stage and then earning the absolute faith of all beings who reside within that world.
Overlord Chaotic Origin Ancestor/Primogenitor, Eternal. A unique cultivator who forges their own path of cultivation and creates their own supreme laws, a level Bhaal spoke of, which AO, the overgod of the caged world of The Great Wheel Cosmology, has reached.
"Before you continue, what do you mean when using the terms era and reincarnation cycle?" Aria asks number 2. " Aria, 1 era is equal to 10,081 years, and a reincarnation cycle is a recurring event where the universe is destroyed and reborn, destroying everything within it every 100 quadrillion years. Meaning these guys have the capability to live for 100 quadrillion years. "WHAT!!!" Aria says as she stands from her seat, "100 quadrillion years, just what kind of beings are they?" "In my former world of Westeros, just reaching 100years was considered incredible. Now you tell me they can live for 100 quadrillion years, amazing, simply amazing."
Before you called me, I was further analyzing the student level. The Student level represents the absolute starting point in this cultivation system. These practitioners form the population of low-level, 'aboriginal' planets worlds that haven't developed their own universal standing or influence like our world of Toril even though we have gods who are capable of cultivation the mortals of Toril don't have much talent or even a structure to grow talents of those who posses genetic or spiritual energy unlike the gods who have the celestial god country which require one to be atleast the level of a domain lord to be even considered.
The Celestial God Country (天神国, Tiānshén Guó) is an omnipotent virtual organization established by the Overlord AO at the dawn of creation. Unlike most universe-level organizations within the universe sea, the Celestial God Country exists as a transcendent, all-encompassing realm whose network spans the entire Universe Sea to locations beyond our caged world known as The Great Wheel Cosmology. This organization is not merely a virtual space but a divine construct woven into the fabric of the cosmos itself, with its main physical headquarters stationed within the infinite expanse of the Astral plane. It manifests as an infinite, highly advanced futuristic realm, infused with AO's divine energy and combined with the will of the universe sea. This organization acts as an eternal divine state that exists simultaneously as a virtual and physical realm fully accessible no matter where you are in the universe sea, whether you are in the great wheel cosmology or in another caged world within the universe sea, all of its members can access it with zero difficulties.
So far, individuals in Toril who can use either genetic or spiritual energy have no choice but to beg one of the gods for tutelage, but most refuse due to lack of talent and even those who accepted only reach the planetary level with a notable one being a spirit master called the legend himself Eliminster an arch wizard and disciple of the goddess of magic Mystra.
The other option is to join a psionic organization who are very few and secretive in nature. There are quite a few psionic organizations scattered across Faeirun, each with its own unique focus and background. For instance, there's the Kaliesh'erai, an elven group based in Evereska, highly skilled and deeply rooted in their traditions. Then, there's Stray Thoughts, a mercenary company led by a human wilder named Jacenelle Traen, known for taking on dangerous missions using their psionic talents.
In the Underdark, you'll find the Forak-Erach-Naek, a duergar group of soulknives and assassins who operate in the shadows. Over in Riatavin, there's the College of the Eclipse, a society dedicated to advancing psionic abilities more scholarly and focused on research.
Skullport hosts the Hall of Mental Splendor, a spy organization run by a psion named Vhondryl; they're masters of espionage and information gathering. The Destroyers are a formidable mercenary company specializing in artillery both magical and psionic commanded by Daltim Flamefist, a fire mage and psion.
Then, there's the Order of the Bladewright, a dedicated unit of soulknives protecting King Imbrar II of Impiltur. In Turmish, the Hands of the Glade are itinerant healers and sangehirns, traveling to aid those in need through their psychic healing powers. Lastly, House Oblodra from Menzoberranzan is known for its fanatic devotion to psionics, deeply entrenched in their drow society and magic arts. Each of these groups has its own purpose; some are mercenaries, some scholars, others spies or religious fanatics wielding psionics in their own way. Their organization has leaders who are only at the Apprentice level.
"If this is the case, then where did Bhaal obtain all the cultivation manuals and techniques?" Aria asks number 2. "I have 2 theories, one is that Bhaal found a way to travel out of the great wheel cosmology and learnt how to cultivate with the aid of an organization called the Virtual Universe Company, which he has mentioned several times in his manuals. From what I have learnt, this cosmic organization trains the genetic and spiritual cultivator talents of the human race. The other possibility is that Bhaal is a god or demigod who is a member of the Celestial God Country." Number 2 answers.
" Seriously, just who the hell is my dad? The more I learn about him, the more confused I become." Aria says as she hears a knock from his palace bedroom. As she opens the door, she finds her Black Silverium Guard, which she was given by Bhaal, standing in front of her holding Arias' breakfast. "Good morning, Aria. I have brought you your breakfast." The black Silverium Guard says as she places Arias' food on a nearby dining table. "Hey Number 1, will talk later, for now let me go to freshen up as I wait for Liza to bring me my breakfast." Number 2 says as she cuts off her holographic feed, leaving Aria to talk with the black Silverium guard.
"Wow, who are you?"Aria asks as he momentarily moves back. " I am your black Silverium guard. My sole purpose is to follow your orders and aid you without question." The Black Silverium guard says as she bows. "Who activated you?" Aria asks Black Silverium guard. "That would be your clone, number 2. You have the same genetic and spiritual signature, so I can follow each of your orders. The only time where number two's orders can be invalidated is if you, the original command it," the Black Silverium guard says to Aria. "What's your name anyway? I can't keep calling you Black Silverium guard." Aria says. "I don't have a name, your father just bought me and kept me in the space ring. It has been 600 years since I talked to someone." The Black Silverium guard says as Aria suddenly hugs her. "Is something the matter? , Your actions don't compute." The Black Silverium guard says to Aria. " You must have been so lonely. I can't imagine what it's like to stay 600 years in solitude." Aria says to the Black Silverium guard. " Is 600 years really long? Bhaal was around 1088 years when he bought me, but while in the original universe, he used the alias of him being a secluded cultivator who had reached the immortal level and was around 11000years old. When he joined the Virtual Universe Company, He used this cover so as not to raise too much suspicion.
He was considered a rare talent among the members of the human race who had reached the level of Immortal Army Lord at such a young age." The Black Silverium guard says to Aria. "Wait a minute!! 1088 years, my dad is over one thousand years old, but he only looks like he is in his early 20s," Aria exclaims. "Most cultivators of the rank of immortal are usually around 50 million years old. That's why your father, despite using his allies of being only 11000 years old, was considered a genius among geniuses. He even got an invitation to join the Hongmeng alliance, the Huge Axe Dojo, and even the Ancestral God Sect, but in the end, he only chose to align with the Hongmeng alliance and The Virtual Universe Company," The Black Silverium guard says to Aria. " What is the Hongmeng alliance?" Aria asks as the Black Silverium guard opens a holographic screen showing the details of the Hongmeng alliance.
"The Hongmeng alliance, also known as Human Alliance or Hong Alliance, stands as one of the most formidable powers in the Original Universe. It was forged through the unity of the Human Race and their closest allies. At the very top of this hierarchy is the Human Race itself, which holds the position of leadership over the entire alliance. The Supreme Council, the governing body of the alliance, is exclusive; only beings of the Human Race are permitted to join its ranks. Within this vast network, the Hongmeng is composed of individuals of immense power. Its official members are at least Immortal Kings, a testament to their extraordinary strength. The Humans alone boast nearly 100,000 Kings, and when you include the other races within the alliance, the total number of Kings surpasses three million. These figures highlight just how immense and influential this alliance truly is within the original universe.
The most precious treasures of Humanity are kept within the Hong Alliance Auction. These rare and valuable items are highly prized, and their circulation is tightly controlled. Only the most powerful fighters within the alliance have access to these treasures, and the starting bid for deals at the auction is no less than one billion Mixed Units, emphasizing the high stakes involved.
Regarding the Hongmeng Levels, the rank and status of its official members are determined by their battle records. The stronger their combat achievements, the higher their level within the Hongmeng hierarchy. This system ensures that honor and power are directly linked to one's prowess in battle, maintaining a strict and respected order within the alliance. This is the main reason why your father, Bhaal, was recruited despite his cultivation being only at the level of an immortal army lord. He had killed 28 immortal marquis from the automaton race, 96 immortal marquis from the demon race, and 5 immortal kings 1 from each enemy of the human race, who included the Ganra of the demon Race, Lysara of the Zerg Race, Aelion of the Automaton Race, Korrath from the Crystal Race, and Varkon of the Prison Race. During this time, your father gained the title of Dread Lord Bhaal due to his nature of hunting enemy races for sport.
"Do you know my father's current cultivation level?" Aria asks. "I am not sure I have been dormant for a while, let me try to access the Virtual Universe Company for information, just a moment, my lady." The Black Silverium guard as its eyes began to glow. "This is quite strange, I am unable to access the Virtual Univers Company. This has never happened before. Which part of the universe are we currently in?" The Black Silverium guard asks Aria. We are currently in the Caged World of the great wheel cosmology."Aria says to her Black Silverium guard. "Caged world, I have never heard of such a concept. Could you explain?" The Black Silverium guard asks Aria. "From what I have learned, the original universe, the place where you come from, is located in the caged world known as the continent of origin. Outside the continent of origin is the universe ocean, where many other caged worlds exist. Currently, we are in the caged world of the great wheel cosmology." Aria says. "I now understand why I can't reach the Virtual Universe Company. The Virtual Universe Company only covers the original universe. If I want to find more info on Bhaal, we will have to travel there." The Black Silverium guard says to Aria. "I see, by the way, is there some way I can take you outside my internal world without raising much attention?" Aria asks. "Of course, my body can expand and shrink to incredible levels. I can even take on the shape of objects in order to conceal my presence." The black silverium guard says as his body starts transforming and shrinking into a liquid form, taking the shape of a brace, and is placed on Arias' hand. "Wow, this is amazing Aria says as she looks at the black silverium guard, which has now transformed into a simple bracelet. "What more can you do.?"Aria asks as the Siverium guard opens a holographic screen which shows all her details.
From the holographic screen, Aria learns that this specific Black Silverium Guard is an elite, highly customized version of the standard Silverium product, evidenced by its extraordinary price of 543 million Black Dragon Coins (significantly higher than the standard 280 million Black Dragon Coins) due to the cost and refinement of the Silverium materials used. The ownership of even a standard guard mark one as a prominent figure within a galaxy, but this unique black model signals a level of wealth that is astronomical.
The guard possesses an overtly feminine, humanoid form, sculpted from refined Silverium. Unlike the raw, liquid-like appearance of its base material, the surface of this guard is a deep, highly polished black, segmented with armor-like plating that emphasizes her physique. Bright cyan or light blue energy lines run along the contours and seams of the armor, providing a striking contrast to the black metal and suggesting the flow of its internal C Grade power source. The head is sleek and helmeted, lacking discernible facial features but featuring a stylized, high crest that gives off a regal aesthetic.
As a Silverium Guard, this unit is imbued with a built-in AI, allowing it to behave like a sentient human, capable of speech and running complex errands for its master. Her core combat strength lies not in raw offense, but in impeccable defense and restraint:
The key feature of her Silverium composition is its water-like body structure, which allows her to mitigate any impact force used against her. This makes her incredibly difficult to damage, forcing even Universe Level opponents to waste significant time and energy attempting to subdue her. She can alter her size and shape fluidly to deal with opponents of varying dimensions and numbers. While her attacks are weak, her primary battle tactic is to use her form to restrain enemies. This defensive-restraint ability is so effective that it can pin down a Universe Level opponent, giving her new master, Aria, a crucial opening in combat. She operates autonomously but is completely loyal, only listening to orders from her master. Her life and functionality are maintained by a robust C Grade power source, and she can achieve a respectable top speed of 10,000 m/s.
"I will have to give you a name. From now on, your name is Talon."Aria says to the Black Silverium Guard. " Name confirmed, I will now be referred to as Talon as per your orders," Talon says to Aria. " I should probably check in with Yinrou to see how the real Joon is doing. "Morning Yin, what's Joon's current situation?" Aria says as he connects a holographic feed with Yinrou. " Nothing much, his vitals seem normal, and he is still incapacitated within the ectoplasmic cocoon."Yinrou answers. "Okay, keep me updated if any changes occur Aria says as he picks one of the toasts and sips it with some tea.
Suddenly, Dream teleports to Arias' room. "Morning, Aria, why are you still in your night gown? It's already 10:00 AM." Dream says to Aria, stretching his flaming purple body. "Morning to you, too, Dream. I was just learning more about the caged world of the Great Wheel Cosmology and Original Universe, and I gotta say, after leaning more about them, I feel like a spec of dust floating in an entire ocean filled with beings whose power is beyond my wildest dreams. "Aria says as she places her teacup on a nearby table. Don't worry too much, my lady, we will move one step at a time, and maybe someday we will reach for the stars." Dream tells Aria as he pats Aria on his hand, noticing her bracelet. "Where did you get this bracelet? It's beautiful," Dream says as he looks at Arias' bracelet. "It's not just a bracelet, it's also my black silverium guard, which I have named Talon," Aria says as Talon shifts back to her humanoid robotic form. "Wow, that's amazing. My name is Dream. It's a pleasure to meet you." Dream says as he greets Talon. "The pleasure is mine. I have never met a species like you. Are you perhaps a special life form?"Talon asks.
"Me a Special Life form? Dream asks." " You see, Dream, within this vast original universe where I was created, there exists a rare and extraordinary category of beings known as Special Life Forms. These creatures are uniquely born under special circumstances or in extraordinary environments, often remaining singular in their existence; some are entirely one-of-a-kind in the entire Original Universe. Unlike most beings, they cannot reproduce or pass down techniques, making their lineage and existence incredibly precious and scarce.
Most of these Special Life Forms possess a Life Gene Level of 100, which is already remarkably high, though even the weakest have a level of around 10. Some exceedingly rare ones reach a Life Gene Level of 500, and a select few possess levels exceeding 1,000. Those are among the most formidable and scarce entities in the universe. For example, the Nine Remoteness Master is a renowned Special Life Form with a staggering Life Gene Level of 10,000, making him one of the most powerful beings ever recorded.
These beings are often targeted for their innate abilities, valuable bodies, or unique bloodlines. Many are victims of possession or assassination because of their exceptional potential. Their Life Gene Levels can surpass the universe's typical limit of 100 even before they reach the stage of Universe Master. While ordinary powerful beings, like the Golden Horned Beasts or members of the Demon Race, can have offspring and pass down inherited techniques, Special Life Forms are so rare that their very existence is almost mythic. Some, like the Natural Beast Gods, are born Immortal, bypassing many of the usual hurdles.
In essence, these Special Life Forms are among the rarest and most coveted entities in the universe possessing potential and power far beyond most beings, making them targets for those seeking dominance or eternal strength. From what I have seen, both you and Yinrou are special life forms, with my scanning sensors indicating that you have a gene level of 320, while Yinrou has 220. At first, I thought you were my masters, but I sensed both of you are bonded to Aria Soul, thus making you her underlings akin to a soul slave."
"Wait, what? You mean to tell me that both Dream and Yinrou have such high Life Gene levels when compared to me?" Aria asked Talon, her voice tight with surprise.
"Yes, my lady," Talon confirmed smoothly. "Although your Life Gene is low, your genetic and spiritual energy are undeniably impressive. What makes you truly formidable is that, despite your low cultivation level, you are able to use techniques that normally require you to reach at least the Planetary Level skills like Ectoplasmic Cocoon and Fission Clone." Talon paused, meeting her gaze. "This anomaly means you have a powerful innate ability to sense and use origin laws, and are even able to employ and master complex techniques that are far beyond your current rank. Even Dream and Yinrou are having difficulties with them. Am I wrong, Dream?" Talon said, turning to look at Dream. Dream chuckled wryly. "She's right. I have tried to understand the Bend Space ability, but it's quite complex. I might be able to use your psionic skills if we were to combine our abilities, but individually, I am still having some difficulties. As for your other skills, I am mastering them slowly, with magic being my strong suit. Honestly, I don't know how you do it. Compared to me, Yinrou is even worse off when it comes to understanding genetic and spiritual techniques, but don't worry, to us, you will always be our master even if our realms reach higher levels than yours," Dream says as he pats Aria on the head.
"Thanks, Dream, that means a lot. By the way, could you watch Joon's clone as I go freshen up in one of the bathhouses? He's just been meditating; most likely, he doesn't have many tasks since it's a weekend," Aria said, moving the holographic screen displaying the clone's feed toward Dream as she prepared to leave her room." Sure thing," Dream replied, taking a seat on a nearby sofa, his focus shifting to the screen. The clone was still, meditating quietly within the main mansion's dojo. A moment later, the dojo door suddenly slid open, and a figure entered. Dream leaned forward, recognizing the individual immediately: it was none other than Elizabeth's mother, Captain Elysia. "Hello, my love," Elysia murmured softly. Joon's clone, hearing Elysia's voice, rose up slowly, looking at her with longing in his eyes. He didn't speak, but instead pulled her into an embrace. Then, holding her in her arms, the clone gave Elysia a long, passionate kiss. The scene ends us Dream is left utterly stunned by the sudden, undeniable revelation that Joon and Captain Elysia might be having a secret affair.
