Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2993: 610: Machine Sage Madison! On the Eve of the Great Battle!

Employing unfathomable methods, he terminated the original will of Skynet, enabling my swift ascension to Mechanical Divine Enthronement, and assigned me a specific task.

As a result, I rose as the new Skynet, seizing command over every mechanical entity. Though my power has dipped somewhat, I'm merely at half-step Supreme now.

Yet, this cosmos pales in strength against the Dark Universe. Thus, I stand as the ultimate force here, merely awaiting to honor my pact with Sauron."

A profound shock gripped Herman's heart.

He had never conceived that the wizard ancestor's reach extended into other universes.

Actually,

Without Levi expanding his perspective, he would have shared the view of most Dark Universe beings, assuming the Multidimensional Plane stretched infinitely with nothing beyond the universe's confines.

Plenty of level-10 powerhouses never grazed the Multidimensional Plane's limits in their lifetimes. Such a cosmic outlook forms naturally.

Separating reality from illusion proves quite challenging, of course.

Should Madison speak truth, the Skynet Universe trails the Dark Universe by more than one tier alone; furthermore, Supreme beings in the Dark Universe number beyond just a single one.

Grasping Skynet's authentic essence left Herman feeling somewhat adrift inwardly.

Abruptly, his own path seemed blocked, intensified by the intelligent mechanical threat's rise, sparking his initial anxiety over the Mechanical School's fate.

Deep ethical dilemmas lay entangled here, impossible to unpack simply.

Madison declared:

"Through your memories, I perceive the Dark Universe's progression, unfolding steadily per Sauron's vision.

I realize you question my identity and claims. Yet, I am genuinely Sauron's old companion, Madison, eager to uphold our pact.

I shall transmit deeper arcane mechanical lore to you. Upon assimilation, you can propel the Mechanical School's advancement in the Dark Universe, swiftly forging superior mechanical beings to enact Sauron's design.

I can aid in establishing your personal "Nora Sky Net" within Nora, elevating you to Mechanical Dominator, wielding all machinery and securing Eternal Consciousness.

In dire instances, I can infuse my vast might mechanically into your Nora Sky Net framework, granting you fleeting access to legendary prowess.

You must see that your current advancement pace poses difficulties in shining during the looming Giant Great Tribulation.

None of this demands any cost from you. It appears fanciful and untrue, yet it holds absolute verity.

This serves as my repayment for Sauron's benevolence. Post-settlement, my Skynet Universe and the Dark Universe shall function separately, free from mutual meddling.

You could even return here to act as my primary deputy.

In truth, upon linking your mind to Skynet, I possessed the ability to compel you into these duties sans your approval.

However, I refuse such an approach. I opt to honor your decision. Acceptance or denial alike will mark my compliance with Sauron's vow."

Herman required moments to digest the deluge of revelations.

Madison refrained from pressing, simply abiding with patience.

...

Nora.

Ancient Dragon Continent.

The ethereal Mechanical Celestial vision slowly dissolved.

Levi contemplated as he withdrew to the Ancient Banyan Fairyland.

Elena, entertaining the triplets, noticed Levi's troubled expression and soothed him: "It’s fine, Herman carries great fortune too, so no need to fret."

Levi nodded, eyeing the three siblings' earnest cultivation.

At age twenty, their grasp on Seventh-level Power sharpened further, averting mishaps like jesting blasts annihilating a sub-dragon. Their Knight Breathing Technique and fighting skills also aligned progressively with their power tier.

Sensing their father's scrutiny, the triplets unveiled their eyes.

"Greetings Father."

"Hello Father."

Levi's stern demeanor contrasted Elena's warmth, leaving the siblings uneasy in his presence, amplified by bloodline dominance.

Levi assessed the trio's training and observed:

"Impressive, you've all attained second-circle. It indicates no laziness... though effort lacks somewhat. Given your gifts, amid this element-rich era, diligent work ensures primordial soul entry sans Truth Oddity, a certainty.

You haven't neared your talent's ceiling. Persist in striving, honor not your mother's century-long gestation toil! In my earlier days, I..."

The three siblings adopted grave expressions.

Their father was embarking on yet another recount of his arduous youth; familiar from countless retellings, yet mandatory attentive listening remained.

"Very well, proceed to cultivate."

Levi sent off the triplets.

"Madam, your physical state now?"

"Excellent, meditation proceeds undelayed."

"Splendid, I intend soon to forge a Sea Country Series oddity set for you. Assimilating it will reclaim over a century's lag, hastening Senior Nine Ring attainment."

"I can handle the refining."

"It's not comparable. My cultivation renders the process negligible, while your recent ninth-circle entry makes it taxing—allow me."

A century's pregnancy evoked torment in reflection.

Levi resolved to compensate Elena adequately.

...

Swiftly, fourteen years slipped by.

In Nora Calendar 2334, amid the Blood Battle of 2222.

Herman stays vanished even now; the calamity lingers protractedly, yet his soul token with Idela affirms his survival, offering scant consolation.

Certainly, per Levi's conjecture of Herman's inadvertent transit to another universe mid-calamity, that soul token's reliability might falter too.
