The scene begins inside the Allspark cube subspace. From what we can see, the environment is a breathtaking celestial realm filled with cosmic grandeur. Towering, vertical panels of shimmering space stretch upwards, each adorned with intricate, luminous golden symbols and circular runes that pulse with mysterious energy. These panels display swirling galaxies, radiant nebulae, and planetary bodies in vivid, vibrant colors, reds, blues, oranges, and purples, creating a mesmerizing cosmic tapestry.
Floating in the vastness are numerous miniature hand-sized galaxy cubes filled with various celestial bodies like stars, black holes, and planets, which slowly move within their specific cubes, each glowing with beautiful, unknown cosmic energy. The ground beneath Aria is crafted from a mysterious, glowing cosmic metallic material, crafted with a galaxy-like design.
At the center, a large, translucent, crystalline-like cube with a highly detailed and mechanical design made up of thousands of miniature cubes that appear and disappear within its complex structure, while at its core a blue glowing orb that appears as a miniature sun stands rotating in its own fixed axis. The cube is predominantly clear, allowing the internal structures to be visible. Its surface is adorned with glowing runes and complex circuitry, primarily in gold, which contribute to a futuristic and mystical look. The cube emanates a faint, pulsating light, suggesting immense energy within. Below the cube is a circular, shimmering metal halo that is in a constant state of rotating motion.
Currently, Aria stands before it, seeking its recognition. Surrounding her, the space shimmers with a divine cosmic aura of all the original laws, creating an almost hypnotic light, an ethereal blend of advanced technology and mystical energy. Her quest to attain recognition and understanding within the Allspark artifact begins.
"The attacks seem to have stopped. We can continue," a voice from the translucent-like cube says as it starts to release a blue and white glowing cube from its main structure, which begins to glow with a blue and white intensity. The glow intensifies, expanding and swirling into intricate patterns that flicker like living fire. Suddenly, the blue and white cube shifts, transforming into a translucent, humanoid holographic projection. This holographic projection began to take on more defined contours, shimmering with a spectrum of iridescent colors that dance across its surface.
Gradually, the hologram coalesces into the form of a young teenage character, whose features are outlined in gentle, glowing light. From Aria's perspective, this person looked to be a teenager, around 18 years old. He possesses a lean, almost slender build. His hair, a cascade of silver-white, flowed like liquid moonlight, extending down past his shoulders, framing a face of a teenager that was strikingly handsome, conveying both delicate features and profound resolve. His eyes, a captivating shade of electric blue, seemed to hold the vastness of space within their depths. His outfit is a marvel of cosmic design. He is wearing a long, flowing white coat edged with intricate star-like patterns that shimmered with what looked like actual constellations, as if woven from the fabric of the cosmos itself. Beneath this, glimpses of a metallic silver underlay could be seen, suggesting an armor-like quality.
"Wow... how many years has it been since I took this form?" the holographic energy-like projection mused, stretching his arms languidly as if waking from a millennium-long nap. His mere movements sent energy ripples of light across the vast space. "Umm... hello again, AllSpark?" Aria ventured, her voice a mix of caution and awe in the face of this sentient artifact. "Hello to you, too, Daenerys Targaryen. I see your comrades have finally come down." The holographic projection answers. "Are they going to be alright?" Aria asks with concern in her eyes, "Yes, they will be fine, even Talon's systems have recovered." the allspark projection says as he shows Aria a holographic feed of her companions who are currently monitoring the Allspark cube. "Wait a minute, I never told him of my identity, how the hell does he know who I am?" Aria says mentally. As if sensing Arias thought the holographic energy-like projection of the teen answers "I have known who you were ever since dream removed me out of the ring, I was rather confused usually when beings touch the cube I can usually see their past memories but him his past is as blank as a clean piece of paper, You however picked my interest when you told your companions of your past as the mother of dragons, quite unbelievable, but after you touched the cube I confirmed from your memories that all you said was actually true?" the holographic energy-like projection of the teen answers as he shows Aria various holographic screens of what she has been currently up-to, from the time they removed the allspark out of the space ring which she had previously gotten from Bhaal.
From one screen Aria observes a video of the time Dream expanded her internal world using her psionic energy, their after placing the allspark cube in one of the palaces within her internal world, in another video it shows her absorbing the muya crystals, in another video, it shows Yinrou playing with Azu, in another, video it shows Aria creating fission clones to aid her revenge and in another screen a current live feed of what her clones are doing with her own clone currently reading books in the family library and Joon's clone currently escorting Elizabeth in what appears to be a flower garden.
"Just who are you and what do you want with me?" Aria demanded, her voice sharp despite her internal shock, cutting through the projection's serene aura."First of all, I am not called AllSpark," the holographic energy-like projection of the teen corrected gently. "The AllSpark cube is simply my main vessel. My name, the one I was given by my father, Primus, is Horace. I have existed even before concepts. I have seen the rise and fall of millions of races and their galactic empires."
As he spoke, the space around them suddenly transformed into a magnificent cosmic tapestry. The floating miniature galaxies began to dissolve and be replaced by a dizzying panoramic display of various civilizations in different universes. Some looked strikingly human but possessed unique features, like glowing eyes, tails, and even horns; others took on the monstrous shapes of beast; others were elegant, huge cosmic entities, while others appeared as large, humanoid mechanical entities.
"Just how many races exist?" Aria asked, overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the display. "Too many to count, Daenerys," Horace answered. "But in most galaxies, you will find that despite the diversity, they are simplified and categorized based on genetics, bloodlines, or innate strength. For example, your former race, the Valyrians, which was further divided into smaller subclans of Targaryens, Velaryons, Celtigars, and other, is simply just another subrace of the vast Human race. "Aria's expression turned to one of profound shock. "What? Did you not find it strange that it was only beings who came from the blood of Old Valyria who could tame and use those wyverns?" Horace pressed. Returning the space to normal
"What do you mean? Wyverns? They were Dragons!" Aria clarified fiercely. Horace's blue eyes held a universe of patience. "Daenerys, Aria, whatever name you choose, listen to me. Although the Wyverns were strong in your world, on the cosmic level, they are nothing but simple pets. They are often enslaved by strong cultivators and strong beings using easily acquired enslavement chips, making anyone, even if he or she is not a Targaryen, capable of using them as he or she sees fit. They are just another subrace of the true Dragon Race." He paused, letting the truth settle before delivering the final, defining criterion: "True Dragons possess four legs and are able to master one lower Origin Law, like the Law of Fire, to perfection by the time they reach adulthood."
A wave of holographic screens then encircled Aria, illustrating the incredible diversity of the true Dragon Race, sorted by type and age:
Chromatic Dragons: Red, Blue, Green, Black, and Purple Dragons.
Metallic Dragons: Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Copper, and Brass Dragons.
Gem Dragons: Amethyst, Topaz, Sapphire, Emerald, and Crystal variants.
Special Variants: Frost Dragons, Deep Dragons, and the terrifying Dracoliches.
lesser dragon: Wyverns, Drakes, Pseudodragons, Faerie Dragons, Sea Serpent etc
Each classification was further divided by age tiers. Young usually 1 to 500years, adult usually 500 to 1000 years, and Ancient Dragons usually 1000 to 10000years, your 3 dragons would generally be placed as young lesser dragons." Horace clarified as he hovered within the space.
"To tell you the truth even Drogon, the strongest dragon in your army wouldn't last 2 seconds if he was fighting a true red Dragon, this is because True dragons are highly intelligent and are able to speak multiple languages, they can think, plan and even adapt to different situations, True Dragons can cast magic up to even 9th level, True Dragons have really long life spans with some being 5000 to 10,000 years old, True Dragons have an innate talent for using genetic energy with some even using spirit energy. So knowing that, do you understand the difference between Dragons and Wyvern?" Horace explains. "Okay, I get it. I have seen my dad's Black dragon, and I could already tell they were nothing like my dragons. But so what, my wyverns are still better. They may not be as powerful when compared to these dragons, but still, they were the best allies I could have ever asked for," Aria says to Horace. "By the way, how old is the world of Toril? If dragons can live that long, from what I have seen, this world's calendar is only at 1354 dr," Aria says to Horace.
"That's because your calendar only follows the start from the 1st year of the Dalereckoning. Dalereckoning began with the erection of the Standing Stone by the elves of Cormanthyr and the humans of Dalesfolk, marking the start of the Calendar of Harptos.Year (1) DR:
The Standing Stone symbolized the alliance between the two groups and marked their agreement, known as the Dales Compact. According to the treaty's terms, humans were granted permission to settle in the forest of Cormanthor's open and non-elven-claimed areas, in exchange for refraining from further deforestation of the elven woodlands. The year 1 DR marked the foundation of the Dales Compact and the founding of the kingdom of Cormyr.
In most worlds of the Ferunian Pantheon, the gold piece gp serves as the baseline currency, even if the physical coins themselves aren't used in every transaction. Most large transactions are priced in gp, with actual payment often made in trade bars or letters of credit. The value and weight of these coins are generally consistent: 50 coins of any denomination weigh one pound. For example, in Toril, after the founding of the kingdom of Cormyr, the golden pieces used are each referred to as a golden lion. They are perhaps the most recognized currency in Toril due to Cormyr's central location in trade routes and its consistent minting standards, which over time have made it a reliable and common coin of account across the continent of Faerûn. Don't mistake, although the golden lion is the most commonly used, there are other gold pieces used as currencies in different regions, but all of them have a standard exchange rate of 1 to 1. For example, Waterdeep's currency is the Dragon, characterized by a specific convex shape that is not perfectly circular. In the southern regions, Amn's currency is the Danter. Sembia features a distinctive five-sided coin known as the Noble. Calimshan's coinage includes the Bicenta, which is part of a complex, locally named system. Silverymoon also uses a Dragon, but it differs from Waterdeep's version while sharing the same name. Lastly, in the southern lands of Zakhara, the standard gold coin is called the Dinar. Aside from this there are other smaller currencies including Platinum pieces (pp) Silver Pieces(sp) and Copper Pieces (cp). Basically in Toril the Platinum pieces are the most valuable with 1 platinum piece being equal to ten gold pieces this currency is usually used by the extremely wealthy or those with high standings like high ranking nobles and kings, but most of the medium class use gold or silver with 1 gold piece being equal to 10 silver pieces, while the lower class use copper pieces with 10 copper piece being equal to 1 silver pieces (sp)" Horace say as Aria cuts him off.
"Wait, how do you know this?" Aria asks Horace. "Well that is thanks to the allspark artifact, The allspark contains a vast repository of knowledge of different race and civilization including that of the great weal cosmology though its still gathering and collecting info and updating as we speak, So far the allspark has positively deduce that the great weal cosmology is currently in the 15th reincarnation era as for the current humans of the15th reincarnation era of Toril, they are only 35000years old, same goes to the other current living races on Toril, "Wait 15th Era even the continent of origin is only at is 3rd reincarnation why is the great wheel cosmology older," Aria ask Horace.
"In order to understand that you must first understand what a caged world is, Basically a caged world is formed when cosmic laws converge and develop to become supreme daos that govern existence in a particular region of the chaotic origin dimension and when this happens a caged world is formed, for example the caged world of the great wheel cosmology has 20 great daos which together are known as the supreme operation laws which include
The Great Dao of Causality Origin, the Great Dao of Creation Origin, the Great Dao of Destruction Origin, the Great Dao of Life Origin, the Great Dao of Death Origin, Great Dao of Matter Origin, the Great Dao of Space Origin, the Great Dao of Time Origin, the Great Dao of Earth Origin, the Great Dao of Flame Origin, the Great Dao of Air Origin, the Great Dao of Water Origin, the Great Dao of Mana Origin, the Great Dao of World Origin, the Great Dao of Unlimited Evolution, the Great Dao of Unlimited Origin, the Great Dao of the Astral Realm, the Great Dao of Celestial Origins, the Great Dao of Demonic Origins, and the Great Dao of Balance
"Out of all the beings in the great wheel cosmology, it is only AO who has mastered all of them, and not only has he mastered them, He has also created 29 other fusion daos and 69 original daos. "That's great and all, but what do Dao even do?" Aria asks. "Dao are the laws governing existence itself, for example, thanks to AO's great dao of causality, whatever he commands while in the great wheel cosmology it becomes law, for example, if he says that you don't exist, then that becomes law, and you permanently cease to exist in the past, present, and future."Horace replies, "Whaat, how then do you fight that guy? "If you choose to fight AO, you must be extremely dumb or simply have a death wish; even the devils and demons know to stand down when AO is present." Horace says to Aria.
"From what I have gathered unlike the original continent which constantly destroys and permanently kills all beings who are not within a miniature universe of a true god during the end of each reincarnation Era and afterward recreates itself, the great cosmology works differently, when AO became the supreme overlord of the great wheel cosmology during the first reincarnation era, he changed how reincarnation cycles work, Basically in the great wheel cosmology every 100 quadrilion years all life within the various original universes of the prime material plane including that of the faerunian original universe, which is one of the currently documented 1,440,052 Original Universes located across the various regions of the infinite Phlogiston of the prime material plane, are destroyed in an event known as Armageddon.
You should understand that in the prime material plane, each huge celestial body, starting from star systems, are encased within crystal spheres. Outside the crystal spheres is the Phlogiston, a vibrant, gas-like medium that fills the space between the crystal spheres. Basically, in each original universe on the prime material plane you will find a unique crystal sphere that covers a star system, universes, galaxies, and star sectors, with the size of the crystal spheres increasing as you reach star sectors. Crystal spheres are gigantic, unbreakable ceramic shells that contain entire star systems to their largest housing entire star sector.
When seen from the astral plane, the prime material plane appears to be a cosmic nebula, 10 trillion light-years in diameter ,but when you enter and try to reach the end, you only find more and more realms, each spanning trillions of light-years. Even AO, the overgod of the great wheel cosmology, has never reached its end despite ruling the great wheel cosmology for 15 reincarnation eras. Every time you think you have reached the end, a new realm appears, each unique from the previous, to the point that AO created the Celestial God Realm with the goal of fully exploring the prime material plane.
After Armageddon, the souls of the good beings, even those who did not worship any god, are taken in by various good-aligned gods to become celestial angels like devas and planetars, while those who were evil and served evil deities are taken in by evil-aligned gods and eventually become celestial angels like fallen devas and fallen planetars. The beings will eventually become immortals and reside in their god's divine domains, internal world, god countries, miniature universe, holy land, and god kingdoms, depending on the cultivation level of the god they serve.
Lastly, the souls that don't serve any god are evil and have been abandoned by even evil deities. Eventually drift to the abyss where they become either demons and devils, this is the very first law AO engraved after he became the supreme ruler of the caged world of great wheel cosmology," Horace says as he hovers around the space. "In essence, the Toril you are currently on is not the 1st Toril but rather the 15th Reincarnation Toril," Horace says as he shows Aria different recordings showing the different races and civilizations on Toril across the 15 reincarnation eras. With each passing time, new races appear and dominate the world of Toril.
Basically, your world of Toril is only part of one of the billions of original universes located within the infinite prime material plane specifically located within the forgotten realms, currently humans are the most dominant race in the world of Toril, In each reincarnation Era the prime material plane destroys and rebuilds itself returning all of the 1,440,052 currently documented Original Universes and giving birth to new unique races on the material plane together with other unknown realms which have yet to be explored, while the former version of the prime material plane is divided into billions of original universes and is sent to the infinite Astral plane where they transform and becomes vast dangerous regions spanning trillions of light years filled with countless dangers, treasures and life changing opportunities of various known and unknown races from various world.
This is where gods, demons, and devils fight to obtain treasures to boost their powers with overlords usually dominating an entire dangerous region for example AO overlord of the gods rules over 845,010 dangerous region, Demogorgon overlord of the demons rules over 320,034 dangerous region and Asmodeus overlord of the devils rules over 300,103 dangerous region.
Note that these are only parts of the larger 14 billion unclaimed dangerous region, whose numbers continue to increase every reincarnation era. Unlike the Prime material plane, which undergoes a reincarnation cycle every quadrillion years, the Astral sea remains the same, infinite and unchanging realm whose size continues to expand due to the formation of new, dangerous regions at the end of every reincarnation cycle. It is a realm whose very understanding puzzles even the supreme beings of the great wheel cosmology.
"Once the original universes of the former prime material plane become dangerous regions they begin to evolve and automatically begin to creates various terrifying beings who can even rival the power of the gods, demons and devils some of the creatures here include Space Beasts: These are powerful lifeforms found across the various dangerous regions they include Platinum horned beast, Golden Horned Beast, and Silver horned beasts numbering in the billions,
Astral Beasts, These are Strange creatures found on the astral sea. They have very high intelligence and can only be killed if one destroys their cores, making them extremely dangerous even to gods, with some emitting Immortal-level auras. They include creatures like the Astral Dreadnoughts and Astral Dragons, etc.
Lastly, the Sector Beasts, which dominate the previously destroyed original universes as supreme rulers of these regions. These beings are the ultimate threats within the dangerous region. They are lifeforms that hunt gods, demons, and devils who dare to enter their regions without permission, destroying and devouring their internal worlds, god countries, miniature universes, and even entire god kingdoms, killing the gods, demons, and devils, permanently killing them if they had not left suitable backup plans like extra avatars or clones. They can only be killed if one destroys the dangerous region, which they command. The only way to permanently claim a dangerous region as you own without destroying it is to permanently enslave the current sector beast of that dangerous region, thereby obtaining the right to rule that region, thus transforming that region into part of your god kingdom's territory allowing one to reshape the cosmic landscape as he or she sees fit though the creatures of the dangerous region continue to reappear in various secret region. This is extremely difficult with the weakest sector beast usually having a cultivation of a true god, and the strongest having the strength of a god emperor.
The best chance one can have to defeat a sector beast lord and above is when the sector beast is traveling outside its dangerous region. This is because once it leaves its cultivation is restricted by 2 levels, meaning a sector beast at true god will have its cultivation dropped to the immortal level. This is the main reason why sector beast rarely leave their dangerous regions.
The other reason why it is difficult to find sector beasts that are directly hunting or fighting gods, demons, or devils is because of the supreme operation law, which states that they must fight each other till only one sector beast king emerges as the victor; otherwise their dangerous region will be destroyed at the end of the reincarnation era and thus they will die and new sector beasts erected when the previous original universes of the prime material plane are sent to the astral plane and become new dangerous region while the previous dangerous region dissolve and become silvery-gray galaxy like celestial bodies that continue to house various races which are born from the astral sea itself. Basically, the dangerous regions eventually become part of the astral sea, making the size of the astral sea continue to grow. This is the reason why the astral sea is considered infinite. The only exceptions are sector beast soldiers of their respective sector beast kings who were able to claim another dangerous region belonging to another sector beast king before the end of a reincarnation era, Basically in this case only one of the dangerous regions will be destroyed by the supreme operation laws and in exchange the sector beast king and its sector beast soldiers will be allowed to exist till the next reincarnation era.
The other way for Sector beasts to survive is by killing a god, demon, or devil and absorbing its internal world. But the common way most sector beast kings use in order to survive is by killing other sector beasts and absorbing their dangerous regions. By killing another sector beast, the sector beast's lifespan is increased by one Era. For a sector beast king, ruling and dominating a dangerous region is a matter of life and death. The last and most dire option, which they have is to become a slave to a god, demon, or devil who is a spirit master, thus being granted citizenship and authorization to exist within the god's internal world, miniature universe, or god kingdom, thus making them a permanent slave servant of a god, demon, or devil whom they serve and thus are not tied to their dangerous regions and are thus protected from death and destruction at the end of a reincarnation Era.
You should understand that once the current reincarnation era ends, the dangerous regions which have not been claimed by the three pinnacle races or dangerous regions that don't have a sector lord who has absorbed at least one extra dangerous region are destroyed and permanently become part of the infinite astral plane, only sector beasts lords possessing more than one dangerous region or are citizens of a particular god kingdom are allowed to live on to the next reincarnation Era, while those who are not members and only possessing one dangerous region die and their dangerous region transforms into vast, transitional, silvery-gray galaxy like realms usually referred as secret realms containing strange features like huge corpses of dead gods, demon and devils, various magical pools of different colours that lead to other planes, and are populated by various astral races like the Githyanki , Githzerai , Aasimar, Genasi etc. " Horace says as he shows Aria various images of the secret regions located on the astral sea.
"If that's the case, then why don't gods, demons, and devils enslave all of them?" Aria says to Horace. If it were that easy, then they would have enslaved all of them, but reality isn't that simple, even to enslave one sector beast. The being has to be a spirit master and have at least a soul amplification of 100,000 in order to even tame the weakest, meaning only high-level spirit masters who have reached the universe master stage have a chance of taming one, but even the the process is very taxing requiring one to consume vast amounts of world energy in order to perform the soul enslavement correctly, not forgetting one need to fight and lower a sector beast combat power to at least 20% of its original power in order for it to even have a chance of working and should the sector beast devour the gods demon, or devils internal world then he or she will permanently die even if he or she is a demon or devil.
Currently the three most powerful sector beast kings that rule vast dangerous regions are Bahamut who governs 35,000 dangerous regions and is a member of the celestial god country, Daurgothoth who governs 32,489 and is a member of the demon faction and Tiamat who governs 35,120 territories and is member of the devil faction, Unlike other sector beasts, sector beast kings of the great wheel cosmology can not be enslaved since they are protected by the Supreme Operation laws that govern the great wheel cosmology. When sector beasts defeat another sector beast, their dangerous region is not destroyed but simply absorbs the victor, making it part of their own, thus growing their dangerous regions exponentially and increasing their life by one Reincarnation Era.
"Hold on, if they are so powerful, why can't they just attack the current prime material plane if they are that powerful?" Aria asks. The supreme operation laws permanently restricts them from leaving their Dangerous region and the origin wills of a given Dangerous region monitors them and ensures they follow this otherwise they are free to do as they please within their Dangerous region even supreme beings like gods, demons and devil face different restrictions when they reside in the prime material plane thus the reason why most of the supreme beings reside in different regions of the astral sea. "The dangerous region must truly be a desolate and scary place," Aria says to Horace.
"Not exactly." Horace answers as he shows one of the Dangerous region under the sector beast Bahamut. "From the holographic screen, the Dangerous region under Bahamut looks quite normal with various life planets and beautiful celestial beings like unicorns, phoenix, and even wyverns. " How the dangerous land look vary depending on the sector beast who commands it for example the one you are seeing is the Dangerous region belonging to Bahamut, if you were to go to the Tiamats Dangerous region the story is completely different Horace says as he shows Arias Tiamats Dangerous region, which appears as a chaotic universe filled with destroyed planets that have different chaotic dragons. on the other hand, Daurgothoth Dangerous region appears as a chaotic realm devoid of life, filled with various undead beings like Skeletons, zombies, ghouls, ghosts, vampires, liches, dracoliches, wraiths, boneclaws, bodaks, revenants, , deathlocks. across various planets within his region." Horace says as he shows the 3 large, dangerous regions of Bahamut, Tiamat, and Daurgothoth.
Generally, the hierarchy of sector beasts is divided into 4, which are sector beast soldiers usually comprising newly born sector beasts, usually born as eggs formed and created by the world energy of sector beast lords, with the weakest having the strength comparable to a world master. They have unlimited life spans, meaning if their sector lord leader continues to absorb more dangerous regions, they can live forever. This explains why they are extremely loyal
Second are sector beast lords these are the true supreme rulers of a dangerous region, they are capable of producing 10 eggs using their dangerous region world energy, The sector beast offspring usually grow up to become universe masters by the time they become adults, their origin is tied to their specific dangerous region meaning should their dangerous region be devoured by another sector beast they to will die, the usually spend their time hunting and killing lesser gods, demons, devils and even planar travelers who venture into their territory. Sector Beast lords have a lifespan of one era.
Third are the Sector beast commanders. These are sector beasts that have consumed 2 to 10,000 dangerous regions and absorbed them into their own dangerous region. They are extremely powerful and are capable of surviving more reincarnation Eras, thanks to the dangerous regions they have absorbed, with one reincarnation being added to their current lifespan for each dangerous region they absorb. They are capable of producing 20 to 1000 eggs using their dangerous region world energy.
Fourth are the sector beast generals. These are sector beasts that have consumed 10000 to 20,000 dangerous regions and absorbed them into their own dangerous region. They are extremely powerful and are capable of surviving more reincarnation Eras, thanks to the dangerous regions they have absorbed, with one reincarnation being added to their current lifespan for each dangerous region they absorb. They are capable of producing 1000 to 2000 eggs using their dangerous region world energy,
Fifth are the sector beast Kings. These are sector beasts that have consumed 21,000 or above dangerous regions and absorbed them into their own dangerous region. They are currently only 3 in number. They are extremely powerful and are capable of surviving more reincarnation Eras, thanks to the dangerous regions they have absorbed, with one reincarnation being added to their current lifespan for each dangerous region they absorb. They are considered terrifying beings even by gods; They are capable of producing 2100 to 3500 eggs using their dangerous region world energy.
"Hold on, I still don't get why the gods, demons, and devils became so powerful," Aria asks Horace.
During the creation of the Great wheel cosmology, the first beings to exist were the Primodials: They were the first to exist. They embodied thought and Ideologies, comprised of gods demons and later the celestials who fell from grace and became devils.
Gods (Deities)
Gods in the great wheel cosmology generally fall into two categories: those who existed at the dawn of creation and those who were once mortals or lesser beings who ascended to godhood.
1. Primordial gods: Many powerful deities existed at the beginning of the multiverse, often forming from the coalesced energies of law and chaos, or being born from an original creator entity. for example, the twin goddesses Shar and Selûne sprang from the primordial void of AO, their conflict creating light and darkness and all material reality. they are also the only 2 daughters of Overgod AO, each at the level of god emperor. AO is rumored to be a special life form that exist as three true bodies the first true body is an Innate Chaotic Origin lifeform which appears as a 200 light year cosmic ocean nicknamed The Luminous Being, the second true body is a Chaotic Origin Primogenitor which took on the form of a sector beast that takes the form of a powerful multicolored dragon and was nick named IO and the his last true body named AO which takes on the form of an elderly humanoid angel in golden armor which within a span of 30 days of cultivation became an overlord.
2. Ascended Beings: Comprises of Mortals or other creatures who achieve godhood through immense power, gathering enough worshipers, or by slaying an existing deity and absorbing its power. The power of a god is often tied to the number and fervor of their worshipers and Portfolios they command except for AO who commands the portfolio of balance but has zero worshipers.
Demons (Tanar'ri)
Demons are creatures of Chaotic Evil alignment and originate from the Abyss, a plane of infinite layers that is essentially a sentient, cancerous wound in the multiverse. They embody raw chaos and destruction, existing in a state of perpetual internal warfare. Demons are created in several ways
1. Spontaneous Generation: Many demons are born spontaneously from the raw, chaotic energy of the Abyss itself.
2. Mortal Souls: Similar to devils, the souls of Chaotic Evil mortals who die on the Material Plane often end up in the Abyss, transforming into the lowliest forms of demons, such as manes, and can potentially fight and scheme their way up the abyssal hierarchy.
3. Obyriths and Tanar'ri: The oldest demons are the Obyriths, an ancient race from another reality. They created the Tanar'ri as a slave race, who eventually rebelled and overthrew their Obyrith masters, becoming the dominant type of demon in the abyss.
4. Fallen celestials and devils: including fallen celestials like devas or even devils (such as Graz'zt), can be corrupted by the Abyss's energy and transform into demons
Devils (Baatezu)
Devils are not original primordials but are considered one due to possessing an individual who has reached the Overlord stage. Devils are creatures of Lawful Evil alignment and originate from the Nine Hells of Baator. They are defined by their strict hierarchy and desire for order and control, which they pursue through contracts and manipulation. They are 2 ways in which devils are formed
1.Fallen Angels/Celestials: The first devils were celestials (angels) who were created by the good-aligned gods to fight the demons in the Blood War. Led by Asmodeus, the current Lord of the Ninth, they argued that the gods' methods of relying on voluntary compliance from mortals were inefficient. He sought a way to combat the demons of the abyss and proposed a deal with the gods: a pact to judge mortals who defied the gods' will. Asmodeus introduced the concept of punishment and a rigid system. The gods granted Asmodeus control over Baator (the Nine Hells) so his actions would be out of their sight. In his new, isolated realm, he grew weaker and convinced the gods to allow him to draw power from the souls of those he punished. This allowed him to grow in power and actively corrupt mortals, creating a system of power and temptation that benefited his followers. This action angered AO and caused Asmodius, together with his angels, to fall from grace and become the first devils whose existence was now tied to the 9 hells, transforming the Nine Hells into their structured domain, with each heal being ruled by various powerful archdevils who have the power of true gods.
2. Mortal Souls: The majority of lesser devils are formed from the souls of Lawful Evil mortals who die and are sent to the Nine Hells. These souls are stripped of their memories and individuality, becoming mindless lemures, which can then be promoted up the ranks of devil society through service and ambition.
These beings fight and act on a universal scale and have existed in multiple Reincarnation Eras, with their influence extending to other caged worlds across the chaotic origin dimension. Considered supreme by beings of the prime Material Planes. Each of the 3 races possesses overlords that allow them to exist beyond time and space, meaning they can not be permanently killed, allowing them and their races to live on to different Reincarnation Eras. At the end of this era, AO, the leader of the gods, had established himself as the leader of 1,000,052 original universes within the prime material plane, including the Ferunian original universe, which houses the world of Toril. The demons controlled 230,000 original universe and the devils 210,000 original universe. It is rumored that AO was the first being to break through to the Domain level, only after 7 days, and within 30 days, he had become an Overlord. You need to understand that an original universe is no small thing. For example, the Ferunian universe ocean is 20 trillion light-years in diameter, housing 300 million starsectors containing 70 billion life planets with different races, so imagine the size of the entire caged world of the known great wheel cosmology, even I don't know the exact size. Caged worlds are enormous, almost immeasurable, realms governed by specific Supreme Operation Laws, which limit aspects such as power and lifespan within their boundaries. Beings must "break through" this cage to access the wider, infinite Chaotic Origin Dimension that lies beyond it and the other numerous caged worlds contained within its infinite dimension." Horace says as he shows Aria different caged worlds within the Chaotic Origin Dimension on various screens, which appear as vast cosmic nebulae.
"You can't be serious, how the hell do gods operate such vast Areas 20 trillion!!!, I don't think I can cover that distance even if I decide to travel my entire lifetime. "Ha ha ha, that's cute, Aria, but I don't think the current you can even cover this entire planet. But enough of dragons and great wheel cosmology, let's return to the main topic, the reason why I summoned you here?" Horace replies as he floats closer to Aria, "What do you want with me?" Aria asks as he moves back several steps, carefully watching Horace's movement. Horace, noticing Arias' cautious nature, stops momentarily and pauses his advance before beginning to speak, "The truth, Arias, is I am extremely bored. I am fully immortal, I don't age, I don't get sick, I don't die, I only exist. I have lived for so long life that life has become a monotonous cycle, but ever since I came to your internal world just from watching you and your companions play and work together, I felt something that I haven't felt in a long time, that being a sense of purpose, I watch how dream and the others serve you with unwavering loyalty and that remind me of the time I too served a worthy master." Horace says as he momentarily pauses
I once served a powerful being known as primus, whose power could rival even that of AO, but sadly, as time his power grew to greater heights I could only sit idly as he continued to grow. Don't get me wrong, he did not abandon me; his power just grew to the point I was of no further use. What I want Aria is to once again have a purpose, something that drives me to become better and stronger, and in you I see a leader who, although not perfect, tries each day to improve on her weaknesses in order to protect those whom you hold dear, a trait I truly admire. I want to be part of your journey even if only a bystander, I wish to see what you will accomplish in this life, you have a way of making the impossible possible, from being just a member of a fallen family to resurrecting your wyverns, a race that was thought extinct in your world, To becoming the queen of the dathraki and the unsullyed, to defeating armies of the dead during your campains in winterfell, to conquering the entire world of westeros before being killed by your lover, to cheating death and being reincarnated into the body of a tiefling, who after only 1 year you have mastered magic of the 3rd circle, unlocked aura, has a personal internal world, can sense and use both genetic and spiritual energy and is able to use techniques of the immortal level despite only being at the apprentice level not mentioning possessing 2 special lifeforms as your sarvants, Ha ha ha I gotta say you are the most interesting organic being I have met in a very long time. You remind me of one particular transformer that had been bestowed the title of Prime, what was it, Optimis, no, that's not it, OPTIMUS PRIME, that was his name." Horace says. "Your leadership skills remind me of that Autobot transformer," Horace says as he opens a large screen showing the picture of Optimus Prime.
On the holographic screen Aria observes, Optimus Prime appears as a mechanical awe-inspiring figure of majestic strength and noble presence. His face is framed by a sleek, metallic helmet with prominent, sharp antennae-like crest extending upward, symbolizing leadership and vigilance. His piercing blue eyes glow with a calm yet commanding intensity. His armor is a complex mosaic of polished steel and vibrant red and blue accents, with intricate detailing that emphasizes both durability and agility. Broad, armored shoulders give him a formidable appearance, while his chest plate bears a distinctive Autobot insignia, shining with a subtle luminescence. His massive, articulated arms are clenched in a confident pose, with hands gripping a large, detailed sword that extends downward, its blade shimmering with a faint, ethereal glow.
"Holy shit, that guy is huge. Is he an automaton?" Aria says or Horace. "No, he has no relation to the automaton race of the origin continent; he is, however, one of the greatest primes to ever exist. Let me show you my history and that of my master's creation, the transformer." Horace says as he waves his hand, and a liquid-like metal begins to take the shape of a chair before telekinetically making Aria sit down.
"I, Horace, or the energy you call the AllSpark, am the very essence and independent will created by my father Primus, the god of the mechanical race known as Transformers, who transformed himself into the planet Cyberton itself to protect the universe and his creations. He sacrificed himself by merging with Cybertron to become the planet's core. He did this to defeat his evil brother Unicron who sought to destroy all of the known cosmos in order to grow his power. When I gained my Sentience & Will, I found I was born with boundless power, a primordial of infinite source of cosmic energy, capable of Sentience Inducement. Primus, my father, who was already the planet Cybertron, charged me with the creation of his race, but I was ordered never to directly interfere with their affairs, no matter what happened. To this day, I wonder what he was thinking. I utilized Sentience Inducement to create the 13 primes, the first of the Cybertron race, and bestowed them different abilities as commanded by my former master. The 13 Primes were created in order to fight Unicron should he return. They were Prima, Vector Prime, Alpha Trion, Solus Prime, Micronus Prime, Alchemist Prime, Nexus Prime, Onyx Prime, Amalgamous Prime, Quintus Prime, Liege Maximo prime, and Megatronus prime.
He waved his hand, and the holographic screens shifted once more, displaying the thirteen iconic figures. These were my original creations.
"I designed Prima to be the definitive leader, the ultimate embodiment of heroism. He was my first creation, and I placed the Matrix of Leadership, a powerful artifact I created, within the hilt of his legendary sword, The Star Saber. Prima's entire function was to be the eternal standard, dedicated to battling the darkness of Unicron. He represents pure, focused celestial might."
"Alpha Trion was the chronicler, the keeper of all history within The Covenant of Primus. I gave him the ability to recall and organize vast cosmic data, making him the ultimate historian and strategist. Unlike his siblings, I programmed him to remain on Cybertron, guiding the nascent civilization using his profound wisdom and the records of time."
"I appointed Vector Prime as the sole guardian of time and space. I gave him the unique and terrifying ability to travel across time and between dimensions, ensuring the integrity of the multiversal fabric. He wields the sword, Rhisling, and his very being is a multiversal singularity. He is the sentinel against temporal chaos, constantly traversing the corridors of time."
"Solus Prime was the only female among my first creations, and I gifted her with the unparalleled skill of the Weapon-Smith. Her power allowed her to forge my most iconic tools, using The Forge of Solus Prime to instantaneously craft complex weaponry with a single, powerful strike. She was the mistress of creation and craft, and her death at the hands of Megatronus was the ultimate catalyst for the Primes' scattering."
"Nexus Prime was the embodiment of unity and multiplicity, the archetypal Combiner. I designed his unique power to allow him to split his body into multiple individual segments, each a separate Transformer capable of independent function He represents a strategic force composed of many parts."
"The Liege Maximo was an experiment in free will and ambition, the ultimate expression of manipulation. He is the master plotter, designed to challenge the Primes and force them to surpass their limit. He became the very original Decepticon in existence. He eventually betrayed Cybertron and sought to concur it inorder to become its new leader, but he was eventually defeated by his siblings."
"My creation Amalgamous Prime was the mischievous Trickster, the original 'Shifter'. I granted him the ultimate transformation ability to change his appearance, form, and even his function into anything he desires. He represents infinite potential for disguise and adaptation."
"Alchemist Prime was instrumental in the creation of the first Cybertronian civilization alongside Alpha Trion. I gave him the wisdom to oversee the early development of our species. When the Liege Maximo turned rogue, Alchemist was forced to leave Cybertron to hunt him down, indicating his dedication to justice."
"Onyx Prime was the original Beast Transformer. I created him to be the archetype for every Transformer who takes on an animal form. His ability is to tap into the primal, instinctual forces of the cosmos, connecting the mechanical race to the wild energies of life. He represents the fusion of technology and nature."
Micronus Prime was the first Mini-Con. I gave him the unique ability to act as a power-booster, augmenting the abilities and strength of his allies simply by linking to them. He proves that immense power can come in the smallest form, specializing in amplification and teamwork."
"Quintus Prime was the Scientist among my creations, driven by boundless curiosity and the desire to create life. I gave him the knowledge and ability to create the entire transformer race, but tragically, his experiments led to the creation of the malevolent Quintessons, a cold, tyrannical race. His power lies in biological and advanced technological creation, though his experiments often had disastrous consequences."
"I created Megatronus Prime as the necessary counterforce, the Guardian of Entropy. He was the warrior of darkness, designed to ensure balance and the natural conclusion of all things. His tragic fall, driven by the sin of killing Solus Prime, saw him cast out. He later defected and became the original herald of Unicron, but his power remains devastating, tied to destruction and the final ending of existence."
"And finally, there is the unnamed Thirteenth Prime. I gave this one a subtle, yet vital power: keeping the other twelve with their colossal egos and forces together amidst their disputes. This Prime was the Anchor, the steady hand that maintained the original family unit, a testament to unity. He could basically one-shot all his siblings if he wanted
A knowing, almost weary expression crossed Horace's handsome face as the screen displaying Quintus Prime stabilized. He sighed, the gesture echoing across the cosmic realm.
"Ah, Quintus. Was a true scientist, driven by a thirst for creation that bordered on obsession," Horace began, the tone shifting from pride to somber.
"After I finished crafting the Thirteen and Quintus prime finished creating and establishing the 13 clans of the Cybertronian race which now numbered in the millions, The primes banded together and formed the Dynasty of primes thus becoming the Cybertronian leaders each representing their respective clans, but Quintus found the planet too small for his ambitions, he wanted to create more he did not want to spend his life guarding against unicron, he wanted to be his own person and live on as he saw fit. His mission became far grander. He sought to seed life on planets all across the cosmos, intending to create new, thriving races that could one day stand as powerful allies to Cybertron against Unicron."
"His primary tool in this quest was the Emberstone. Using its immense power, Quintus would land on a primordial world and essentially trigger the rapid evolution of life, accelerating millennia of natural processes into mere moments. But his restless nature meant he was always in a hurry; he would strike the spark and then quickly move on to the next world, leaving the races he spawned to fend for themselves, like a careless gardener."
"His first major creations, the Quintessons, were born with an intelligence and a hunger for purpose. Naturally, they set off into the stars in search of their absent creator. Their journey ended in tragedy. When they finally discovered that they were not Quintus's singular masterpiece, but merely one of many abandoned experiments, their love turned to bitter fury. They vowed to destroy Quintus and all his creations, seeking to claim the power of the Emberstone for themselves. Thus, the very children he created became his greatest pursuers."
"Fleeing the tyrannical Quintessons, Quintus sought refuge on a small, blue world, primordial Earth. Knowing he could run no further, he made a final, desperate act. He fused his own spark with the Emberstone and used its power one last time to create the great Titan, Terratronus. Terratronus was tasked with one critical duty: to protect the Emberstone from all who would misuse its power. The Titan successfully deceived the Quintessons into believing Quintus and the stone had left Earth, and then he hid the artifact deep within a subterranean cave marked with Quintus's insignia, preserving it until the time was right."
"Millions of years later, when the descendants of my own creations, the later Cybertronians, were stranded on that same planet, the Emberstone was discovered beneath the town of Witwicky by two human siblings, Robby and Malto. The stone judged the children worthy of its power. When their touch activated the artifact, my brother's spirit dubbed them the 'legacy of hope.' The Emberstone's power instantly created two new Cybertronian life forms, Twitch and Thrash, from a pool of water, and forged special cyber-sleeves that emotionally bonded the children to these new, unique Transformers, known as the Terrans."
Horace's gaze softened slightly. "It appears that even in his absence, Quintus continues to spark life when hope is needed. When the Maltos were in dire straits, Mo called out, and Quintus's voice responded, activating the Emberstone to create three more Terrans: Hashtag, Jawbreaker, and Nightshade. Quintus's story is a constant reminder that creation, even with the best intentions, always has unforeseen consequences. But let's return to Cybertron," Horace says as he changes the space to show the evolution of Cybertron.
The Transformer lived in harmony for thousands of years with the first era, known as the Golden Age of knowledge and peace, fueled by my energy and guided by the Primes. Cybertron was a marvel of order and technology, and the Transformers were destined to explore the cosmos as a united race and eventually become one of the pinnacle races of the universe.
However, conflict is an inevitable force, even for perfect mechanical beings. After thousands of Generations, the great Cybertronian War erupted between the noble Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, and the ruthless Decepticons, led by Megatron. Both factions sought control of my cube, as ownership meant absolute power over all Transformers.
In a desperate, final attempt to keep my infinite power out of Decepticon hands, Optimus Prime made the agonizing decision to launch my vessel into deep space. Megatron immediately followed, consumed by his desire for the ultimate weapon. I traveled across the void until I crash-landed on a small, undeveloped world, the planet your father calls Earth 2345, around 10,000 BC.
I lay dormant for over twelve millennia until I was discovered in 1913 in the Colorado River. The humans, ignorant of my divine nature, studied me for nearly a century, building the Hoover Dam around my resting place. In 2007, the war finally reached the small planet. In a chaotic battle in Mission City, I was involved in a massive conflagration. To prevent my full power from falling to Megatron, a young Human named Sam Witwicky was forced to make a catastrophic decision. He merged my essence with Megatron's spark, seemingly destroying the Decepticon leader and, in the eyes of the primitive world, destroying me."
"The mortals believed I was destroyed, but my power, the god spark created by my father Primus, cannot be extinguished. My main structure, though dispersed, immediately began a silent, unconscious process of Extinction Reversal and Fantastic-Matter creation. For one hundred years, I existed as scattered, undetectable energy in the void, dedicating my being to self-repair and self-regeneration through my internal Order Technology. I slowly drew myself back together, reforming as a perfect, hard cube, a nascent version of my original self floating endlessly within space."
"Around 2109 AD, I was discovered, not by mere scouts, but by a detachment of Limit Immortals serving under the then-powerful Universe Master, Bane. He had a dark and rather shadowy appearance with a resemblance to dark rune-engraved armor. He emanated an aura of vast power and cruel intelligence from the Celestial God Country (CGC). This envoy found my silently regenerating form during an exhibition in a Secret Region located within my own universe. The mechanics of their arrival remain a mystery even to me. Bane and his group realized I was an artifact, a hard cube referred to only as the AllSpark. However, even with their advanced magic and technological scrutiny, they could not discern my true nature as a god-spark. They only recognized that I released a usable form of energy, which could, theoretically, power their massive spacefaring vessels. This potential benefit was quickly dismissed as insignificant. Universe Master like Bane could fuel his gargantuan ships using a mere 0.01 of his Divine Energy, an amount sufficient to last for five Eras without needing a recharge. He determined I was functionally worthless to a civilization operating on the scale of Immortals, and thus, I was marked as junk to be sold. "Bane chose to sell me to the Celestial God Country Auction House, a venue rumored to host high-stakes auctions only once every 1,000 years, whose members were supreme beings of at least domain-level cultivation. It was at this event that your father, Bhaal, a relatively new Immortal who had recently broken through to the immortal level, known for his colossal wealth and pride, appeared. The other gods and Immortals saw no practical value in a relic deemed worthless by a Universe Master like Bane and chose not to bid. Thus, Bhaal, by paying an enormous sum of 5 Billion Mixed Yuan Units, became my new owner. I could sense instantly that Bhaal was a man utterly unworthy of wielding my creative power, a being driven solely by pride and destructive ambition.
He did not seek my wisdom or my true potential. Instead, he claimed my cube vessel and immediately reduced me to his personal power bank. He has since used me to fuel his various electronic instruments and to recharge his Rogue Stone every now and then. For fuck sake, I am the essence of Primus, the creator of the Cybertronian race, the Transformers, and yet, I have fallen to this pathetic state from a supreme relic of Cybertron to a mere charger." Horace says as he shuts down the holographic feed.
"Ha ha ha, forgive me, Horace, I mean no offense," Aria chuckled, a sharp glint of amusement in her golden eyes. "It's just that my father never ceases to amaze me; actually using a divine relic as a charger is truly… audacious. But still, I don't understand. Why are you telling me this? I doubt I can make you recognize me as your master by force."
"True, Lady Aria," Horace conceded, the luminous projection adopting a serious posture. "I could simply kill you, but that would lead to the eventual collapse of your internal world, leaving my essence trapped here in this void for eternity. So, this is my true offer: I will merge my god-spark with your body and make you the new and permanent owner of the AllSpark." Horace says to Aria.
Aria's expression turned cautious. "What about Your Creator? Primus. Won't he be mad?" Horace showed no concern. "Not really. Although my Creator is not dead in the literal sense, his consciousness still exists in various forms across multiple infinite universes and caged worlds. Even in this realm, I can sense a version of him, though he has not given me any single communication after creating the Transformer race, and that was 23 eras ago. It was later that day that I learned he had completely freed me of all tasks, and I am free to do as I see fit." Horace said as A large planet-sized robotic entity appeared on a pulsing holographic screen displaying the final transmission of Primus:
(Voice Recording of Primus)"HORACE, MY MOST TRUSTED AID. I FREE YOU OF ALL YOUR TASKS AND DUTIES TO CYBERTRON. LIVE ON AS YOU SEE FIT. I WILL NOT INTERFERE, NO MATTER WHAT PATH YOU TAKE, FAREWELL AND THANKS FOR YOUR LOYALTY."
The recording ended, and Aria turned back to Horace in a spectral gaze. "Can I refuse your offer?"Horace's luminous form shrugged. "Yes. But you will be trapped inside the cube forever until you accept making me your subordinate. Think of it as a very long, very boring time-out." Horace said, slightly giggling. "Hey, that's kidnapping!" Aria accused, folding her arms.
Horace's composed facade instantly broke. He knelt dramatically, clasping his glowing hands together and tilting his head in an exaggerated plea. "Come on! I'm begging! It is so boring! You have no idea what it's like to have eternal life and nothing to do but charge things! Please, I will do anything if you accept! I don't care even if you kill people for fun like your father, just make me your subordinate! I don't want to be an observer anymore! Pretty please with ice cream on top!"
Aria looked down at the begging, divine entity, a wide smile finally breaking across her face. "Fine. I will accept you as my subordinate, but you have to promise me you won't betray me." Horace started rising to his feet with relief. "Don't worry, once your body absorbs the god Spark, you will become the new owner of the Allspark, and I won't be able to break your commands even if I want to," Horace says
Aria tilted her head, a thoughtful frown replacing her smile. "Why would you willingly choose that? Is that not the same as becoming my slave?" Horace looked back at her, his gentle, glowing expression sincere. "It is true, I will lose some of my free will and my boundless autonomy, but this is my choice, and this is what I want. I want to see and adventure the world like any normal mortal, have my own dreams and goals, and eventually come to understand why I truly exist. Plus, I could tell what type of person you were the moment you laid your hand on the cube."
He paused, a warmth entering his voice." I know that despite your ruthlessness toward your enemies, you have a kind and gentle heart for your friends and servants. You don't treat them as lower life forms, but as your equals and respected allies. So I know, even if I pledge you my loyalty, you will not change that nature. Am I wrong?" Horace says." Okay, I get it. Am I really that easy to read?" Aria said mentally, a smile forming on her face, softer this time, accepting the immense, unexpected compliment.
"So what now, do I sign something, or what's going to happen?" Aria asks Horace. "Let me explain what will happen, I will first take my god spark and marge it with your soul, which will take 4 days to complete, the second step will be to improve your low life gene level, the merged god spark will evolve your life gene to around 10,000 allowing you to use the all spark cube normally and be able to access some of its other advance features such as the 10000 cube division and will take another 4 days to complete. lastly, your soul and life gene will be successfully merged and a new circular planet-like heart, called the all spark heart will be formed on the right side of your chest this will take 1 day, after that recognition process will be complete and you will obtain the full authority to use the allspark as you see fit, I should warn you once you begin the recognition process their is no going back, are you ready?" Horace asks Aria, who is still trying to remember what Horace said. "Aria?" Horace says.
"Yes, I believe I am ready," Aria says. As a circular glass cube encircles her, at the same time, the large translucent cube hovering at the center of the space began to separate, revealing a massive glowing sphere of pure blue energy. Horace then created another glass cube that encased the blue glowing sphere, and connected them together with a large U-shaped metallic tube from the top of each of the cubes. "Ohh, I forgot to mention the first and second stages of the recognition process are going to be excruciatingly painful, do your best to endure," Horace says, a smile forming on his face.
"Wait, what!! you did not say that before. Aahh, holy fuck, this hurts like hell, it is as if someone is constantly stabbing my body," Aria says as a painful sensation spreads across her tiefling body as the blue-like orb begins to slowly enter Aria's body using the U-shaped tube connection linking the two cubes. "Hey, could you keep it down? Some of us are trying to read." Horace says as he makes a comic book appear and begins to read, muting Arias' voice within the glass cubes. "Horace, I swear I am gonna get you back for this," Aria says, banging on the glass, but the pain overwhelms her, and she begins to sit in a meditative position so as to try to mitigate the pain.
It has been 4 days since Aria started to merge with the god spark, and so far, Aria has continued to endure the recognition process. "Dude, I don't think I can go on through this pain; it feels like every fiber of my being is being broken," Aria groaned, crawling on the floor. Horace, meanwhile, was utterly absorbed in his entertainment, eating holographic popcorn while watching a military movie from Earth 2345.
"Come on, Aria! In your former life, you were the mother of dragons, or was it just a name? Plus, if I were to end the process at this time, you have a 180% chance of dying," Horace chimed in, munching another holographic popcorn.
"You little shit! I swear, once this is over, you will pay!" Aria promised, her voice laced with agony as the remaining blue god-spark energy finally entered her body.
The intense pain vanished. She felt a surge of elation and a tremendous burst of psionic energy 10 times greater than her previous amount, combined with a new form of power: Primordial Force Energy. This energy appeared as a dense, dark blue cloud filled with shining particles that resembled a miniature galaxy, though it was only the size of Aria's hand. "Wow, I feel great! And this new power, although very small, is amazing, as if holding life itself," Aria marveled. "Impressive, you survived the first stage successfully," Horace said, tossing a comic book aside. "The second stage should be kicking in right about now; you have to endure another 4 days."
Suddenly, Aria collapsed onto her knees, every inch of her body aching with unbearable pain. It felt as if her entire body were simultaneously on fire, being broken, and being reconstructed by the god spark. The scene inside her body on Horace's screen showed her cells, molecules, bones, and organs, except for her heart and brain being broken down and painstakingly being reconstructed, evolving her into something new.
Four days have passed, and something was definitely wrong. The excruciating ordeal of the AllSpark refinement process had stretched into its ninth day, two days past the estimated maximum of 9 days for the recognition, and the situation within Aria's containment cube had become truly dire. "Horace, please, I can't take it anymore! This is too much for me!" Aria cried out, tears flowing down her face, her voice raw with ceaseless pain, a testament to the fact that the second stage of her life gene evolution was still violently underway. "Aria, you have to endure! If you fail, it's over for both of us!" Horace urged, his holographic form riddled with anxiety as he frantically monitored her vital signs. "Just one more day, please, I am begging you," he pleaded, his voice desperate as he tried to ascertain why the agony persisted beyond his initial projections.
"Shit, something's wrong, but what?" Horace muttered, focusing his advanced scanner on Aria's internal anatomy. From the screen, he could immediately see the incredible transformation that had occurred: her bones had become a dense, mysterious, silver-colored metallic material, and her cells had evolved into highly sophisticated bio-mechanical cells, completing the integration with the AllSpark's power. However, the problem was glaringly obvious: The only parts of Aria that hadn't gone through the second stage of life gene evolution and refused to change were her heart and brain.
The source of her brain's and heart's resistance to change was an external influence: Horace's scanners revealed that her brain and heart seemed to be connected directly to the ring Bhaal bonded to her when she became his direct disciple. From the ring, Horace observed that various complex runes came forth from her ring finger, covering her entire bone structure. This dense network of runes conjoined around Aria's brain and heart, shielding it from the AllSpark's evolutionary forces and locking the transformation process in a perpetual, agonizing cycle. Aside from this some else shocked Horace, from the various displays Arias heart appeared to be black and gold in color.
"What's up with Aria's heart? I don't think it's normal, even for a Tiefling, and those strange engraved runes on his bones, what are they? Was she always like this, to even resist primordial energy?" Horace concentrated his analysis on the heart being displayed on his holographic screen, which appeared as a black and gold mysterious organ. Horace's scanners revealed the organ to be a magnificent, highly complex, and anomalous structure, a stunning fusion of dark material and brilliant precious metal.
The Core Structure: The main, anatomical body of the heart is composed of a deep, opaque matte black material. This dark core forms the bulk of the organ, giving it an intensely dense and mysterious appearance.
The Gilded Network: This black core is intricately bound and sheathed by a complex, highly detailed network of shimmering gold. Fine, elaborate gold filaments, resembling highly articulated roots or veins, crisscross and cover the entire black surface, providing both structural support and aesthetic majesty.
Vascular and Coronary System: The major vascular structures, the large arteries and veins that would normally connect to the body, are entirely comprised of highly polished, thick gold. These structures fan out from the top of the heart, giving it a majestic, crown-like appearance, suggesting immense power flow.
"Shit! I have to change the plan! Aria's life gene level has only reached 90! If this continues, she might very well die!" Horace exclaimed, recognizing the unprecedented resistance from Arias' heart. "I have no other choice but to skip this process! Whatever this ring is, I must study it! I haven't met any artifact that can defend against Primordial Energy!"
Horace pressed various holographic buttons in quick succession. Suddenly, a green, viscous liquid was injected into Aria's glass container and began to fill it to the brim. Aria, who was seemingly unconscious from the pain, began to show signs of recovery, as indicated by the stabilizing life signals on the various holographic screens. Suddenly, a white like Primordial Energy! Begun to form on the right side of Arias' chest, and Horace's form began to disappear, entering Arias' body. Once Horace had entered Arias' body, A platinum-colored metal-like orb immediately started to form within Arias' body. This orb was the physical manifestation of Horace's consciousness and the AllSpark's core technology, intended to serve as Aria's new divine heart. Over the next two days, this platinum orb underwent a rapid, complex transformation, evolving from a simple sphere into a detailed miniature planet which connected to Arias blood vessels, allowing Arias body to be able to use both his original black and gold heart and the all spark heart , boosting her body's overall capability. This miniature planet now acts as Aria's second heart and functions as the definitive AI core for her new AI subordinate, Horace, thus allowing Aria to be recognized by the Allspark as the new owner of the Allspark cube.
The new heart takes the appearance of an incredibly detailed Miniature Planet with various pulsating section structures. It is primarily platinum in color, appearing densely metallic and highly engineered. The surface is etched with complex circuitry and panels and is surrounded by shimmering blue energy and intricate mechanical appendages or rings, confirming its dual nature as both a planet-like core and a highly sophisticated AI artifact.
"Hello, Master! You did it!" Horace cheered, his hologram body suddenly reappearing in front of Aria as the containment cube rapidly drained of the green liquid, letting Aria out. Aria's golden eyes narrowed to slits, blazing with banked fury. "You little shit! I nearly died again!" she snarled. She lunged, attempting to grab the ephemeral projection, but to her astonishment, her hands connected. She actually caught Horace.
"Wait, I can actually touch you?" Aria asked, momentarily forgetting her anger in her surprise. "Of course you can," Horace replied, his translucent form now firm and warm. " My true body can physically interact with the outside world with the help of advanced energy bodies generated by Primordial Force Energy." Horace says to Aria, whose facial expression turned predatory. "One more question: do you feel pain?" "Of course I can," Horace replied, "I am an advanced AI with receptors that can replicate different physical inputs, including touch, pleasure, and even pain, to 100% accuracy like that of the real world. Why do you ask? "That question was the last thing he managed to say before Aria grabbed him by the collar and unleashed the pent-up rage of 9 days of unrelenting agony, which she had to endure because of him. Aria unleashed a barrage of sharp, focused kicks and punches against Horace's true body. Each strike, fueled by her deep-seated rage, landed with brutal effectiveness, leaving visible bumps and ripples across Horace's entire body
"That's what you get for putting me through that hell!" Aria declared, finally releasing Horace, a massive grin spreading across her face. "I feel so much better!" Aria said as Horace sprawled on the floor, his body aching from the previous assault.
