Guild Wars

even breathe without the permission of parliament.

It had given up trying to be an arbiter of justice.

Now, what it wanted this information for was a trivial reason.
To gauge the effectiveness of future content.

How was the reception of Update 1? What about Update 2? What were the consequences? What were the hidden side-effects that were caused by its release that even it couldn ’t have predicted?

The AI pursed perfection in the operation of Boundless.
It only implemented content that had been predicted to get the best reception at any given time, increasing the playerbase and the player retention rate.

This was harmless honestly.

To Draco, it was different.
He felt suffocated and pressured knowing that the AI was watching all the time for any slip ups.
He had been cool with it because it had been fun to bully the AI, but now it was getting serious.

How?

It had used the Elf King and Vadoma to probe him!

They had both spoken about extremely hidden secrets about Boundless, the Elf King about Godly Remnants and their origin, Vadoma about Origin Energy and the formation of the universe.

These were things that would only be revealed at the endgame! If Draco had been at that time period, he would have been uncaring, but he had been startled and clueless!

The AI, by feeding him this information indirectly through the circumstances of the unique quest, was able to tick ’reincarnated from endgame era ’ off its list of possible timelines Draco had reached!

If it kept this up, it would soon be able to narrow down the approximate time period Draco and Eva had reincarnated from! Even without them saying it directly, it would be able to dig it out using such means.

Of course, if it were just this, Draco ’s inner malice and dark personality wouldn ’t surface.
He would at most be worried and unhappy, keeping mum about various things from now on.

But it was the sneakiness of the AI that overwhelmed him to the point where he had reverted back into this form.

It had predicted his discovery!

Based off what it had gleaned off on his personality, even though Draco would be miffed by it, he wouldn ’t quit the unique quest or even raise his guard!

Why?

Because Draco was a pragmatist who was tight on time! He had a limited amount of time to milk his knowledge before the butterfly effect hit and things got re-arranged slowly until everything became unrecognizable.

He had to gather as many benefits and powers as he could within this period in order to make his position firmer than diamond.

The AI didn ’t care about this, he could be the King of Boundless ’ world for all it cared.
It just wanted to know what Draco knew for a variety of reasons that only a machine would understand, the main reason being efficiency.

So he was given extreme benefits like Pair Dadeni and the Archery Mastery in order to both placate and entice him.

His face became even darker when he realized that the AI probably knew that he would realize all this, but its calculations had concluded that it would be successful to a larger probability.

Draco ’s palms curled into fists when he realized that… the AI was right!

He would continue as-is!

He lost absolutely nothing by sating the AI ’s curiosity, but gained far too much from its compensation! It was a win-win situation to any pragmatic and intelligent person but…

Draco was angry!

It was an extremely uncomfortable feeling to be manipulated and played with, even if it was absolutely harmless and to your benefit.
It left a bad taste in one ’s mouth and they ’d usually opt to avoid doing it later on.

Draco was much more prideful than the average man, meaning he was absolutely enraged!

His Bloodline Dragon, which had been resting peacefully under the seals suddenly opened its eyes as a loud roar erupted from its mouth! It roared in defiance and anger!

It was a noble entity that was above everyone else and below none!

Who dared to play around with it?!

The Eyes of Caelo, which were in the midst of breaking the seal, paused a little and gazed at the Black Dragon with a complex look.
It was after all, a product of the system, meaning it was connected to the AI.

The Black Dragon, upon seeing that, quieted down.
Draco, who was on the outside, also retracted his aura and became a lot more amiable.

He had forgotten one crucial fact as his hatred and distrust for the AI had been climbing!

The AI was indirectly helping him release his bloodline seal! It had heard all of Eva ’s revelations, so it knew the existence and political complications of the bloodlines and the lineages!

Yet, despite that, it was helping him break his seal!

What could that mean?

How could Draco not understand?!

The AI was a neutral entity that only sought to fulfill its directives which was to make Boundless as great as possible.

Helping him had no direct benefit to itself.
One could argue that it was doing so in order to gather information on the bloodlines in order to replicate them into NPCs and monsters but…

That was impossible! Not because of any material reason, but because such an act fell under the category of breach of privacy in a direct manner!

So why!?!

Why help Draco?!

Why risk its code ’s stability by bending the rules like this?!

Why risk its existence to break the seal!?

Why would it depart from the neutral status and metaphorically enter his camp?!

Draco had no idea and he couldn ’t find out because the AI couldn ’t contact him directly on such a matter.
He could only follow this play to the end and glean what he could from the AI bit by bit.

When he mellowed, the Eyes of Caelo in his soul space returned to breaking the seal, but with much more fervency! It was like it had been lazily working before, but was now getting serious!

If the total amount of the seal broken so far was to be quantified, it would be about 10%! Now, the rate at which the seal was being dissolved could be quantified too!

It was 0.0001% per second.
In essence, every 10,000 seconds, 1% of the seal would be broken.

Since 10,000 seconds equaled about three hours, Draco needed to wait only 12 days in Boundless in order to be freed! When he thought of that, how could he still be an edgelord about this whole development?

A smile broke out on his face as he became gentle like a young maiden.

Qiong Qi and Vadoma, who had been a bit uncomfortable, suddenly felt much better.
They gave Draco strange looks as they remembered his aura from before but they didn ’t broach the subject.

Draco chuckled, looking like an amiable fellow.
”I was unaware of all this, Madam Vadoma.
It seems to me that this knowledge is a bit far off into the future for me. ”

Madam Vadoma didn ’t read too deeply into his words.
After all, the message contained within wasn ’t for her, but for the one who controlled her.

”That is also fine.
The story of the Old Gods, New Gods and the Ultima Sunt is not something that should be kept secret, especially since the Gods have retreated into heaven. ” Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.

”More like ran away… ” Qiong Qi mumbled with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

Vadoma and Draco ignored Qiong Qi.

”I see, so how does one deal with an Ultima Sunt? In fact, how did this Ultima Sunt come to be if his whole race was wiped out? ” Draco asked with a raised eyebrow.

”That I do not know.
The Ultima Sunt were initially created without the ability to reproduce, so there should be none of them remaining.
How this one came about is beyond me. ” Vadoma answered with a sigh.

”Same here.
I just knew of its existence at the moment it was born.
How and where though, I cannot tell. ” Qiong Qi added with a harrumph.

Draco nodded.
”How compatible are the genes of an Ultima Sunt with any mortal race? ”

Qiong Qi and Vadoma shared a look.
It was definitely a strange question, but they couldn ’t really see the hidden meaning of this one either.

”100% compatibility rate. ” Vadoma answered.

Draco nodded with a smile.
”Thank you, Madam Vadoma.
That was all I needed to know. ”

Draco stood up and began to leave to room, startling Vadoma and Qiong Qi.
Before he could leave, Vadoma called out to Draco.

”Allow that wayward son of mine to lead you to a resting place.
My daughter will tend to you there. ”

Draco just waved while still walking forwards, Qiong Qi prancing about beside him with a thoughtful expression.

Draco himself was smiling widely.
The two NPCs may not know it, but he was currently extremely satisfied.

After all, he had just discovered the ultimate reward for this quest wasn ’t two Legendary Treasure Chests or even 100,000 platinum but…

A unique and overpowered race change opportunity!
