The scene continues from Talon's Lecture within Arias' internal world, "Truly, the human race from your world is amazing," Aria said, a mixture of awe and amazement in her voice."Perhaps someday you too will reach these levels, my Lady," Talon replied, bowing her head slightly, her loyalty unwavering. "Thanks, Talon, but let's start small for now," Aria said warmly. At the same moment, the surrounding holographic screens chimed, and a synthesized voice announced: "Analysis complete." Aria's eyes scanned the final reports, and her breath hitched. The energy readings displayed for the mysterious cube were insane. "If what I am seeing is correct, this cube has the capability to power up all of Bhaal's ships indefinitely and even recharge Rogue Stones to full capacity," Aria exclaimed, her voice edged with disbelief. She paused, processing a ridiculous thought.
"Wait, don't tell me... is Bhaal seriously using this artifact as his personal charger?" Aria said, opening a holographic link with Dream. "Hey, Dream," she said as a holographic screen shimmered, showing Dream, who was currently overseeing Joon's original body within one of Aria's holding facilities. "What is it, my Lady?" Dream asked, his gaze attentive. "Have you tried using this artifact to power the Internal World's facilities? " Usually, the psionic energy we produce is more than enough to sustain every facility within the internal world, so I have not really seen any use for the allspark except for charging Bhaal's cars, which run using Rogue stone and can last for a hundred years without needing to be recharged. Why are you asking?" Dream inquired, his interest piqued by the urgency in her tone. "I've tried to measure its energy output, and the readings are insane. Come and check them out. "Okay, just a moment. Hey, Yinrou, call me if any weird readings appear on Joon's vital signs," Dream instructed the shadow wolf, who nodded in acknowledgment and, with a sideways wave of his hand, Dream initiated a teleportation, vanishing from the holographic feed and instantly reappearing next to Aria and Talon in the storage facility.
The air in the storage facility was charged with anticipation as Dream appeared. "Hey, so what were you saying?" Dream asked Aria, turning his attention to the glowing array of displays."Look at the screen," Aria instructed, pointing to a holographic screen that was flashing a severe alert. "ERROR," Dream read aloud, his voice dropping as he processed the data. "What is this cube? Even these advanced automaton scanners, which can measure up to a 1 trillion energy level output, can't detect its maximum energy signature." He turned to Aria and Talon, his face serious. "If this is the case, then there are only two possibilities: the energy output of the All Spark may be even greater than the scanner can handle, or this artifact is capable of creating an infinite amount of energy." "Hey Aria, have you tried to use the Level 2 Psionic Skill Call Identification Scroll to get a more detailed analysis?" Dream asked. "Not yet, let me try," Aria replied as she closed her eyes momentarily, took a deep breath, focused her psionic energy, and activated her Level 2 Psionic Technique. At which point an orb of bright golden light appeared in front of her, and from the golden light, a glowing Identification Scroll engraved with mysterious runes materialized in her hand. She then handed the scroll to Dream. Who took it and, channeling a portion of his psionic energy into the parchment, mentally commanded it to provide information on the All Spark artifact. As the request was registered, the scroll began to disintegrate into motes of light, and from the shimmering particles, a detailed, well-laid-out floating text appeared in the air, revealing the secrets of the mysterious cubic artifact.
Dream's voice dropped as he read the info being revealed by the identification scroll: "The AllSpark is an ancient, limitless, and infinitely powerful Cybertronian artifact. It is said to contain the very essence, or spark, of the Cybertronian god Primus. It is responsible for creating the planet Cybertron and all the Transformers that inhabit it. It first created the Dynasty of Primes, and the knowledge indicates it may have also created the 5 Matrix of Leadership, which we currently have stored. Generations before, during the Cybertronian War, Optimus Prime launched the cube into deep space to prevent the Decepticons from claiming its power. It eventually crashed-landed on Earth around 10,000 B.C."
"Holy shit," Dream breathed. "The core function of the AllSpark is truly unique: Creation of Sentient Life. As an infinite source of pure primordial energy, it can imbue life into advanced technological organisms, creating entire cybernetic races like the Autobots, Decepticons, Maximals, and Terrorcons. This is a power far beyond standard creation abilities; it induces Sentience and Adaptation into lifeless technology."
He scrolled down the floating text, his flickering purple flame reflecting his intense interest. "The data further shows the cube possesses enormous information and knowledge of the various universes located in different caged worlds across the chaotic origin dimension, along with the history of Cybertron, which it can transmit via Knowledge Projection. It also has remarkable technical powers, including Interstellar Teleportation and Technopathy. It can repair, heal, upgrade, and modify machinery from any world, even those less technologically advanced than Cybertron, via a mysterious property called Primordial Force. In essence, Aria, this is not just an artifact; it is a universal singularity composed of structured energy, capable of both creation and destruction and here I thought it was only a useless piece of junk used to charge Bhaal's equipment!"
"The AllSpark is not just any treasure; from the knowledge I have gathered on the treasure classification in the Original Universe, I believe that the AllSpark is an Original Mechanical Treasure." Dream then opened a new holographic screen, displaying the intricate hierarchy of how treasures are classified among the human race.
"My Lady, the treasures of the Original Universe are classified not just by power level, but by function and tier, reflecting the needs of cultivators from the lowest Planetary Level up to the most powerful Universe Overlords," Dream began, gesturing toward the floating text.
"For basic cultivators, treasures are tiered as Force Weapons. The tiers directly correspond to cultivation levels. Tier 1 and Tier 2 weapons are the standard tools for Planetary and Stellar Levels. This includes your 4 bloodstone daggers. The jump to Tier 3 marks the entry into Spirit Weapons and is the classical weapon of a Universe Level cultivator, with prices ranging from billions to hundreds of billions of Black Dragon Coins. As you ascend, the cost increases exponentially: Tier 4 weapons, the classical tools of a Domain Master, cost around 100 Billion Ganwu Coins. Tier 5, are Weapons usually used by World Masters and cost around 100 Billion Universe Coins. Finally, Tier 6 weapons are the standard weapons for an Immortal."
"Above the standard, Force Weapons are the truly potent items. Heavy Treasures are essentially Level 7 weapons and are the classical tools of an ordinary Universe Venerable, although some powerful Immortal Kings may also possess them. Above that are the Arcana, which are considered Level 8 weapons. To even qualify as an Arcana, the treasure must possess at least three distinct forms or uses. Arcana are the classical weapons of a Universe Overlord."
"Within any given tier, whether it's a Heavy Treasure or an Arcana, the value is not uniform. It is heavily dictated by its specific function. Certain types are universally considered top-tier and far more valuable than others of the same rank:
Palace/Flying Palace treasures: These are the ultimate defensive and travel tools. They are extremely durable against material attacks, often matching armor one tier higher, and high-level versions can even possess sealing abilities. They offer defense superior to armor-type treasures.
Domain treasures: These create a controlled area of effect, strengthening the user and restricting the opponent. They are essential for closing or widening strength gaps and are devastating against groups of weaker foes.
Soul treasures: These are the most precious treasures for survival. They are used to defend against or strengthen soul attacks. Because materials capable of defending against Immortal-level soul attacks are exceedingly rare, even low-tier soul-type treasures are incredibly valuable; even Universe Overlords rarely possess them.
"Compared to these three top-tier types, items like Armor, Material Weapons, Spirit Weapons, Seal items, and Escape tools are generally considered ordinary within their respective tiers, despite their utility. For example, even though Armor Arcana can weaken material attacks drastically up to 1/10,000th of the original strength, for Common Arcana they are still considered average in value."
"There are also highly specialized categories. Origin Arcana are a special type of Arcana primarily used to restore the Divine Body and recover Divine Power for Universe Overlords and higher. They function by allowing the user to trigger the Law Ocean, increasing the absorption of origin energies. Even low-level Origin Arcana can make the energy absorption process thousands of times faster, which is a life-saver for powerful beings with massive Divine Bodies."
"Another classification is Mechanical Treasures. These items are a separate path, relying entirely on technological power rather than law comprehension or divine power, and they are typically associated with the Automaton Race. Unlike weapons that channel a cultivator's internal energy, mechanical treasures operate on self-contained, often limitless, energy sources."
"The cube before us, the All Spark, perfectly fits the classification of a Mechanical Treasure, possibly of the highest order. Its energy output is so immense that it is overloading the automaton scanners, suggesting it is either a source of infinite energy or a source whose power exceeds one trillion energy units. Given its purpose to power Bhaal's massive fleet of ships and recharge potent artifacts like the Rogue Stones, it is fundamentally a power core, a technological artifact of unparalleled scale. The fact that your father, who specializes in the laws of space, light, and lightning, bought this single piece of technology for five billion Mixed Yuan Units a price which eclipses the combined wealth of half a million Immortal Generals indicates its critical and unique strategic value. It is the very definition of a top-tier Mechanical Power Source."
Aria, still processing the monumental information delivered by Dream, extended her hand and placed it upon the cold, smooth surface of the colossal All Spark cube, wondering why his father would give her such a powerful artifact. The moment her skin made contact.
The scene then shifted inside the cube to reveal a figure within an ethereal, 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. And across the vast space, huge cubes, each containing what appears to be a miniature universe, move across the space. At the center, a male figure stood in front of various holographic screens that monitor various regions of the internal world, composed of pure, structured energy and bathed in soft, pulsing blue light. This being was undeniably ancient and powerful, yet radiated an aura of serene wisdom. He possessed 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, observing Aria with a quiet, knowing intensity. His outfit is a marvel of cosmic design. He wore 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.
"Hmm, Interesting, this child is strange but rather interesting," The figure says as he observes the screen, which is currently showing him the memories of Aria, who has placed her hand on the cube. From the screens, he sees all of her past memories, especially her former life as Daenerys Targaryen. Before the scene shift and returns back to Dream, Aria and Talon.
"Have you tried to make the item recognize you?" Dream asked, hovering in the air. "Not really, and what do you mean by recognizing me?"Aria asks as he lets go of the allspark cube. According to Bhaal's info, when a cultivator forms a unique bond with a treasure, he or she becomes the master of that particular treasure and is able to use the treasure's full capabilities. By making a treasure recognize you, it makes it impossible for another cultivator to use your treasure unless you die.
According to Bhaal's technique called refining the treasure, to take ownership of a treasure and make it truly responsive to your will, you must succeed at three interlinked stages of refinement." Dream explained, his voice becoming analytical as he detailed the steps required for bonding with such an immense object.
1. Imprinting: The Soul Link (The Claim of Ownership)
"This is the initial, fundamental step for controlling any high-level treasure, particularly those used by Immortals and above. A cultivator leaves a Soul Imprint on every part of their divine body, and that imprint must be extended and focused onto the AllSpark. You must project your consciousness and soul energy to leave an indelible mark on its substance. This is a difficult task, but once successful, the cube will be instantly responsive to your will, essentially becoming an extension of your body and soul."
2. Infusion: Divine Power and Law Comprehension (The Foundation)
"This is the second step for controlling any high-level treasure and above, particularly those used by Immortals and above. You must begin forcefully injecting your Divine Power into the AllSpark. This energy must carry your unique engravings of Original Laws. It is not enough to simply pump power into it; you must imprint how you understand the universe into the cube's structure. This act links the AllSpark to you, allowing your unique energy signature to be the primary mechanism for activating its unique abilities."
3. Mastery: Willpower and Consciousness (The Ultimate Control)
"The AllSpark's status as a mechanical treasure means it demands an extraordinary wielder. To effectively control and bond with it, you need a high level of willpower and consciousness strength. The cube contains the knowledge of various universes located in different caged worlds across the chaotic origin dimension; your mind must be strong enough to withstand and process that kind of cosmic knowledge without breaking. Your mental strength determines your ability to activate its deepest forms and secret techniques, like its creation power or its interstellar teleportation."
"In essence, the deeper and more powerful your soul, divine power, and law comprehension are, the more profound your bond with the AllSpark will become. Your progress in cultivation directly impacts your ability to wield this treasure, transforming it from a mere artifact into a true Original mechanical treasure." Dream says to Aria, who looks at him with a puzzled look.
"Dude, I am at the apprentice level in my cultivation. How the actual fuck am I supposed to use divine power or origin laws?" Aria says to Dream. "It's not like I can just place my hand on the all spark," Aria says to Dream, placing her right hand on the all spark cube. "And pass my genetic and spiritual energy and expect something to happen," Aria says as she begins passing his golden red spiritual and genetic energy into the artifact.
As Aria began actively channeling her golden-red spiritual and genetic energy into the artifact, the All Spark reacted with immediate and profound force. Suddenly, the artifact's intricate markings, etched across its ancient, rugged bronze cover, began to glow with an intense, internal blue light. The heavy, weathered outer shell, previously static, started to mechanically retract in a systematic, cube-like transition back to the edges and corners of the reinforced corners of the allspark, opening to reveal a spectacular sight.
Beneath the archaic facade shell lay a large, ethereal blue cube surface. This solid blue cube contained within itself thousands of smaller, luminous blue cubes which were constantly shifting and repositioning themselves within the larger blue cube-like structure, flowing and swirling with mesmerizing precision, like a complex, three-dimensional digital ocean.
Suddenly, the blue cube's surface began to shift its surface density into a liquid-like state and started to pull Arias' hand inside the cube. "Aria let go of the cube!!" Dream shouted, voice laced with panic as he recognized that the cube was actively attempting to absorb her into its blue structure." I can't, my hand is stuck!!" Aria's reply was strained as she struggled against the immense, pull of the cube which slowly continued to Absorb Arias body into its internal structure. Reacting with synchronized speed, Dream and Talon dashed toward their master at blinding velocity. They grabbed Aria's torso and frantically tried pulling her hand free from the cube's blue, liquid surface, but their combined strength was useless; the artifact simply refused to yield its grasp.
Failing to break the physical bond, Talon presented a terrible option. Her black silverium hands swiftly transformed into razor-sharp, sword-like weapons. "Master," Talon stated, her voice devoid of emotion but heavy with implied gravity, "the only way I can free you is if I cut off your arm." "Wait, what!!! Hell no, I am not losing my arm?" Aria argued fiercely, utterly rejecting the mutilation required. With the extreme solution rejected, Aria issued a direct, tactical command: "Try to attack the cube and look for any weakness!"
Talon immediately complied, launching a strike at the blue, fluid surface while her advanced systems desperately scanned the artifact for vulnerabilities. Yet, no structural weaknesses were found. Before Talon could unleash a full assault, a deafening blue shockwave violently erupted from the All Spark.
The kinetic energy slammed into the two rescuers, sending both Dream and Talon hurtling backward. While Dream managed to brace himself and avoid catastrophic damage, Talon was not so lucky. The concentrated energy blast overloaded her sophisticated systems, causing her to temporarily deactivate. The black silverium guard crashed hard onto the nearby wall, inert and defeated.
With her protectors neutralized, Aria was left alone, and the liquid blue surface completed its task. By this point, Aria's entire body had been fully absorbed within the now luminous, pulsating blue cubed surface of the All Spark. The massive artifact stabilized, now radiating a serene, powerful glow with its new, unwilling captive sealed within.
"FUCK, FUCK, Yinrou get your ass in here?" Dream said calling for Yinrou while casting various spells on the cube, including magic missiles. Dream created three glowing darts of magical force. Each dart hit the cube, but left no damage. Next he used the magic spell fire ball, suddenly A bright streak flash came from his right hand's pointing finger and with a low roar, a ball explosion of flame hit the cube but nothing happened, lastly Dream used lightning bolt and suddenly a stroke of lightning begun forming a line 5 feet long and 5 feet wide and blasted out from Dreams hand and directly targeted the cube but still nothing seemed to work.
"What is going on?" Yinrou exclaimed, his voice cutting through the chaotic sounds of struggling and magical dissipation. He had just teleported into the All Spark storage facility from Joon's location, instantly materializing next to Dream."Attack that cube! Aria is trapped inside!" Dream commanded, clutching his chest, his magical reserves already strained from his failed assault."What!!!" Yinrou shouted in disbelief, casting a wide-eyed glance at the deactivated form of Talon lying nearby. "I leave you guys for five minutes?" Without waiting for an answer, Yinrou focused his intent. His eyes began to glow with a sharp, vibrant purple aura. "Shadow Claw!" he chanted, his voice resonant with power. He immediately unleashed a fierce and deadly shadow magic attack, manifesting a razor-sharp claw of pure darkness that lunged toward the All Spark. He dashed toward the cube and landed a direct hit, intending to tear the artifact open and free Aria. The cube, however, proved utterly formidable. It immediately absorbed Yinrou's powerful attack, neutralizing the shadow energy instantly. With terrifying speed, the artifact retaliated, releasing the stored energy in a single, devastating kinetic blast. The force was overwhelming, tossing both Yinrou and Dream across the vast room and slamming them into the far wall with brutal momentum, leaving them heavily injured and slumped against the stone.
Just as the two most powerful servants lay defeated, the crisis reached a fever pitch. The ground beneath the facility suddenly began to shake violently and without warning. The palace floor ruptured and tore open as several long, incredibly thick golden vine-like branches, engraved with glowing golden runes, burst forth. These weren't mere plants; they were extensions of raw, fundamental power containing the very essence of the original law of gold. The golden vines lashed out, dashing toward the cube with lethal, almost sentient ferocity, attacking the artifact relentlessly. The vines quickly ensnared the entire All Spark, wrapping around it layer after layer, and began exerting crushing, immense levels of force, aiming to utterly destroy the menacing object that had dared to absorb Aria
."Let go of my Mom!!!!" a powerful, booming voice thundered, shaking the very foundations of the Internal World.Yinrou and Dream, coughing and aching, struggled to raise their heads. They desperately tried to locate the origin of the voice, confusion warring with their pain. Then, the stunning reality struck them: the voice was coming from the Large Golden Tree, the titanic tree that appeared when Aria's Internal World was previously upgraded, now roused into a protective, destructive rage.
The palace that housed the All Spark was now nothing more than crumbling rubble, its structure shattered by the combined force of the All Spark's shockwaves and the Golden Tree's relentless attack. Yet, the central, terrifying problem persisted: Aria was still stuck inside the artifact. Suddenly, a voice, calm and clear despite the chaos, entered the consciousness of everyone present: Yinrou, Dream, and the massive Golden Tree. "Hey, guys, you can stop attacking the cube," Aria said. "Mom, are you okay?" a new, deeply concerned voice instantly replied.
"Mom?" Aria wondered internally, stunned and confused as to who was addressing her with such intimacy." It's your Golden Tree that's talking!" Dream replied urgently, staggering slightly as he rose from the debris. "Wait a minute, the tree can talk?" Aria's voice, projected directly into their minds from within the cube, sounded utterly stunned.
"Yes! It's actually quite powerful; it has even destroyed the entire palace trying to rescue you," Dream answered. The Golden Tree, whom Aria mentally registered as the source of the protective, juvenile voice, giggled softly in response, a sound that seemed to rustle through the air and the remaining fragments of the walls. The dense, golden vines immediately released the cube, gently placing it on the ground, before retracting slightly.
"Are you okay, Aria? Can you breathe?" Dream asked, stepping closer but keeping a wary distance from the silent, powerful cube." Yes, I am fine, but I need you to leave me for a while," Aria projected, her tone gaining immense focus and resolution. "I think I may have a chance of making the cube recognize me. I can leave if I choose, but if I let go of this opportunity, I don't think I will have another chance." "But—" Dream began, concern etching his voice, but Aria cut him off with a powerful surge of mental will. "Please, Dream, Yinrou, Azu, and even you, Golden Tree, have some faith in me. I know I can do this." Aria appealed to all her companions and servants within the internal world, her voice conveying absolute certainty in her decision. A collective acknowledgment followed, echoing in Aria's mind. "Very well, My Lady, we will await your return," they responded, retreating to form a protective perimeter around the colossal, glowing All Spark cube.
