Chapter 1091 Troublemaking Evil Duo
Chapter 1091 Troublemaking Evil Duo
Seeing that Draco fully supported him, Shadowheart was more relaxed and felt a burden off his chest. In truth, he had thought of letting Maria got and burying his hatchets forcefully if Draco was truly unwilling.
Unlike Draco who was shortsighted enough to let his personal feelings ruin his relationship with his own cousin and general, Shadowheart was able to see through the veil and weigh the value of things.
There was no need to fall out with Draco over a mere Maria for multiple reasons. In truth, Draco should have also felt this way, but again, that was why Shuangtian did everything she did.
Seeing that things were mostly resolved, Draco glanced at the frozen body of Sengo Muramasa and snorted. "You can deal with that one as you please Elle. And make sure that he regrets every second that he continues to exist."
Elle eyes narrowed as cruelty flashed in them. "Don't worry boss, leave it to me!"
Finally, Draco then turned to the frozen portal he had fixed and left while he went to fight. This was the portal that Sengo Muramasa had made that led to Boundless and was why the Evil Trio silently supported this attack.
From the moment the update was launched and they returned to the real world, they had ideas about barging into the world of Boundless. Whether it was Draco's space branch or the Eternal Tree in the Morningstar World, they were all paths to link the two universes.
However the problem was how to initiate the connection. You cannot simply tie two cars together without a rope, can you?
So when they first heard of Sengo Muramasa being in the real world from the God Serpents back then, Draco and Eva had long had the intention to dig him out and then find a way to copy his method.
However, they simply did not have the strength back then since they had yet to reach 100%. Draco even planned to rely on Richmond to introduce them within Boundless so Draco could negotiate a way to achieve this.
Still, plans never kept up with the times and so many things came up until the forced update which made the Evil trio have to take a break. So why not use this chance to achieve this goal?
This was also why they had worked hard to gather some Origin Energy for the AI, so that it could survive what Draco was about to do next.
He floated hear the portal and reconnected to it. On the other side, he could sense an 'egg'-like existence floating in a void, separated through a membrane.
From outside, he could see that within the egg were many separated planes with different themes, likely the different worlds the AI created. At the bottom and being the smallest was the Western Fantasy section which formed the foundation.
The connection Draco had was to a tiny part of the membrane that did not even make 0.(inset millions of zeroes here)1 of its total surface. It was so small that the AI likely could not even feel it and no one would notice, which was probably why Sengo could come and go as he pleased without being stopped.
Draco extend his connection over to the entire membrane and his expression changed slightly. The tunnel he made had been fixed and secure by him, tut the membrane solidifying the AI's words was extremely thin.
To someone of his power, basically a space element Eternal, he could easily shatter it and destroy the AI's creation with ease. He could not believe that the minds and souls of players were staying within such a fragile bubble that could collapse at any time.
Draco channeled solidified space energy through the portal into the membrane, and while he could feel it hardening and solidifying it, the rate was too slow and it barely covered anything.
He could naturally reinforce the entire thing in time with no cost since his energy was infinite, but the amount of time it would take could reach tens of thousands of years.
That was not very wise nor was he willing to do that. As such, he would have to find a different way to assist the AI in this regard, but this was only a side issue anyway.
The quality of the membrane would hold up as long as it needed to and for what they wanted to achieve, it was fine anyway. Heck, if the membrane had been harder, it would not have been so easy for Draco to get this far.
He stepped aside and glanced at the core members who were excitedly waiting. Draco smiled at them and waved a hand.
"Enough drooling, get in there!" He commanded, to which the obeyed.
Immediately, with the exception of Shadowheart and Elle who secured their captives, the others rushed in. The last two only entered after they made sure their prisoners were nicely secured.
The moment they all entered, they appeared in Boundless World, specifically within the territory of the Ancestral Dragon City. Draco had chosen this location and not Vita Kingdom for a very, very important reason that was soon pertinent.
The core members only had a few seconds to look around and assess their surroundings before their bodies trembled. They suddenly shook as the energy of the world boiled around them crazily, like it had detected deletable meat.
Then without warning, it poured into their bodies crazily. First from Worldly Energy until they were saturated then to Aetheric Energy until they were saturated, and then to Divine Energy.
When it reach Divine Energy, the rate of absorptions slowed down but did not top. The core members could finally breathe and sat down where they were to manage the changes.
Meanwhile, in the small world belonging to the AI, the brain that was casually floating in the vat trembled greatly. Amber, who was working on something, frowned deeply and rushed to the side of a terminal to see what was going on.
When she did, she was shocked. "What are those fellows doing?!"
Back at the estate, Draco and Eva watched the portal with smiles while Shuangtian slapped her forehead. She appeared behind the two and pinched their necks with a black expression.
"The two of you, before doing this, did you even consult the AI or Amber?"
Draco and Eva shared an innocent look. "No, we didn't."
Shuangtian glanced at the two of them speechlessly. She could tell that they did not feel they had done anything wrong. After all, since when was it necessary to report all your actions and movements to other people?
Besides, even if something was wrong, things had always worked out for them. It was no secret that the universe bent to favor then, so any backlash would be swept away.
This! This! This!!
This was EXACTLY the problem that Shuangtian wanted to fix. This carelessness and habit of doing big things without thinking critically had undoubtedly brought these two far and was the reason why they grew so fast, but the flaws were great.
Shangtian couldn't be bothered to talk, she directly shared her thoughts through their link. It was far more effective and faster than using words, and it showed when the faces of the Evil Duo changed slightly.
Realizing this, Draco first secured the portal and then teleported to the AI's chamber. There, he saw a shocked Amber and the trembling brain in the vat that was emitting some crazy amount of heat.
When Amber saw Draco, she seemed to see the source of the issue and rushed over with a dark expression. "Draco, did you send the real bodies of anyone from earth into the digital universe?"
Draco had a slightly bad feeling when he saw Amber's expression, but he nodded. Amber sighed and then asked. "How many and who?"
"The core members only." Draco answered truthfully.
Amber paused and pondered. She glanced at the AI which was still boiling up in its vat and then at Draco. Her expression softened and she seemed relieved.
"Then it shouldn't be a serious problem…" She muttered.
Draco's eyes flashed. "It might not be a serious problem, but I can tell that it is still a problem nonetheless. What exactly is happening?"
Amber paused and then smiled slightly. "Well, its quite simple. When you log into Boundless through the Virtua Helmet or the pods, your soul is actively and safely transfered to the game world."
"For those with powerful souls, the feedback from the game would be intense, even affecting their real bodies. This is how we could work on releasing your bloodline shackles back then."
"Your souls are logged and exist within the world of Boundless and possess special characteristics, especially the Immortal Spirit. Its also cost effective for the AI since your souls are condensed into bodies using the laws within the digital universe."
Amber folded her arms. "However, if you enter with your real body, it shouldn't be a problem for us. The plan was to introduce the feedback system from update 10 and above, or when enough players reached Rank 7."
"This would allow the AI to slowly send back the power of your game characters through the soul connection and allow you to slowly wield the power you do in the game in terms of stats, skills and class."
"You wont be able to earn experience in reality and until there is Worldly Energy or some energy to refill mana, so you would have to be conservative, but the value is still there."
Amber paused and glanced back at the AI. "However, that was something for way later when she built up energy reserves and energy, as well as calculated all the costs and risks. Also, it was meant to be done slowly, in bits and pieces."
"Even with the number of people you sent in, it shouldn't be a problem theoretically but… those fellows all have Divine classes with absurd stats and skills which were already a problem in the game, and now they have to be materialized onto their bodies instantly."
"So you can imagine her state right now. It is no different from being fine one moment and then suddenly being forced to exert yourself at your limit." Amber concluded with a sigh.
Draco did not seem too pleased by this and his expression was apologetic. "I am sorry for the trouble caused. Is there a way to help?"
Amber paused and pondered. "This isn't really something that can be helped with. You guys already did enough by gathering Origin Energy to increase her power efficiency and computing strength, or this would have been much worse."
"You can take it as a reward for the help offered." Amber said, placing her hands into her labcoat pocket.
Draco passed a hand through his messy black hair and sighed. "Its a good thing we didn't try to enter. We also don't have any plans to do so, so there is no need to worry."
Amber shrugged. "Then it should be fine. If its just the core members, everything should work out."
Amber then stopped Draco before he left. "Oh and Draco, you should probably be careful about the passageway you created. She will likely close the hole in her membrane that was created, so you'd have to record the spatial coordinates down."
"No worries. I don't plan to use such a crude method that harms both parties in the future. With my ability, it will soon be possible to teleport directly into the world without damaging the membrane." Draco smiled as he explained.
As he teleported back to where he came from, Amber looked after him and then back to the giant brain. Her eyes flickered as she had not told Draco the entire story.
While this action had undoubtedly caused a lot of issues, it also brought benefits that couldn't be easily stated. It also involved the core secrets of the AI, Glorygore, and Amber's purpose here as a whole.
