Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 296 It seems that it is time to sleep
As long as it is determined that this artifact belongs to a god in the mechanical realm, there is no need to consider other possibilities. It must be a singularity.

Except for some remnants left after his death, all other mechanical realm beings, no matter how powerful they were, would be reduced to ashes, leaving nothing behind.

Even if gears and springs can be sent out of the mechanical realm individually, they are actually connected by an invisible thread.

The Mechanical Realm is never afraid of the death of the Modrons they send out... After they die, they will automatically and consciously transmit the important parts of their memories back to the superior Modrons.

The Mechanoids will indeed seek revenge for the death of a modron, but that is because a part of themselves has been damaged, not for the sake of the unfortunate modron itself.

The only modron without a direct upper organization, only the Singularity.

Even though he was restricted by the mechanical realm, he could still retain something for himself.

As for the others, even the second-level demon tombs, which could ascend to become singularities at any time and were as powerful as medium-level gods, would not be able to leave anything behind.

The only thing they can do is to destroy everything they don't want to leave to their superiors at the moment of death.

As for whether doing so would cause the superior modron to discover that his self-spirit was overly active, causing the other party to panic... that was the superior modron's business.

The higher-level modrons who have no independent thoughts will naturally report these things in exchange for a terrible test.

People who are similar to him will only choose to keep it secret for him, because the other party cannot withstand investigation.

So, from the very beginning when he discovered that this artifact was related to the mechanical realm, Lowry began to suspect that this thing belonged to some singularity.

Most importantly, Lori still remembered the joke he had seen before: a certain Singularity actually died from the curse cast by the demon lord with his soul.

Of course, the reason for his death was that he was attracted by the curse and inexplicably left the mechanical realm that protected him. He didn't even bring the second-level demon tomb that normally protected him with layers of protection. He rushed into the battlefield, causing him to be seriously injured and even implicated in the aftermath of the deaths of several powerful gods. In the end, he died outside the door of the mechanical realm.

Lori didn't know who spread this rumor, and it was probably a story created by that group of clockworks themselves.

Very logical, but not realistic at all.

To put it bluntly, it was because that wicked fellow Asmodeus exposed Ren Singularity's selfish thoughts because of "a little" hatred that caused Singularity to be abandoned by the Mechanical Realm.

Of course, even if it is the will of the Mechanical Realm itself, it is not so easy to kill the master of a realm... Clockwork will gradually have its own will as the level rises. Could it be that the Mechanical Realm does not know this at all?
If he really kills Singularity for a reason that does not conform to the laws of the Mechanical Realm but is universally present, the Mechanical Realm, which is like a clock tower, will probably collapse instantly, right?

All the small gears connecting the mainsprings must be removed.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can understand why the Flo Ants can develop their own race to their heart's content on both sides of those gears...the clockworks also have their own ideas.

Flo, they are all native species in the multiverse! Even ants can move freely in the astral world.

In order to protect their families, even the ant matriarchs, who are at least of weaker divine power, must protect the gears under their nests.

Those who understand will understand the unspoken meanings hidden in the actions.

Therefore, Orcus, the Lord of Death in the Abyss, suffered great misfortune. No wonder he hated it so much that he used part of his soul to curse that singularity.

Demons never consider cause and effect, or who is behind the plot. They will only retaliate against those who harmed them.

Well, not to mention, there was also the handiwork of Asmodeus, the Lord of Hell... The Lord of the Fallen Battle Angels really used the simplest method to get rid of his two annoying guys at the same time.

Orcus probably hasn't recovered to full victory yet, and can only watch other things use his necromancy power.

Even Tiamat, the Queen of the Five-Colored Dragons, snatched some away!

Speaking of which, Lowry had always been deeply skeptical about the Dragon Madness incident, and felt that this was a rare opportunity in the war between the Nine-Faced Dragon God Io and the God of Gods AO that was not a failure.

Although Tiamat herself has little intelligence, she has a dragon behind her!

The Dragon Cult really tortured the dragons to death, and almost half of the dragons of Toril were gone.

But at the same time, the maze that served as the fuse for the dragon madness was also completely closed!

Indeed, the maze itself still exists, but if AO wants to open it again, it has to wait for the right time and a reasonable reason, especially for the dragon.

However, given the current environment in Toril, dragons really do not have that status.

The giant dragon of that world has long lost the ambition to rule the world and be the king. At best, it can only target the treasury of a country.

Therefore, it can be said that although so many lives of descendants were sacrificed, the "tightening curse" on the dragon's head has the possibility of being permanently shut down.

Although AO can still suppress the dragon with Dragon Madness Chain.

But the trump card that could be used at any time has since become the final trump card. Lori didn't know how many people and things were involved, including why the Dragon Lord with the silver fire of Selune and the power of Mystra could hold on until the last moment, and why a guy like Lansendel who had a strong sense of revenge could still be so optimistic after his incarnation of divine power was injured by humans... But as long as he knew that the result was that AO was one step away from winning.

This is why he has always been in awe of the Nine-Faced Dragon God Io and is always on guard.

The old men who refuse to die are thieves. None of these old fellows who have lived for millions or tens of millions of years are easy to mess with.

Lori would never let himself become one of those dragons in Toril who was alive and well but was still killed for no apparent reason.

Of course, he also knew that in the initial period after the tragedy, the dragons had more or less sensed that something was wrong. The smart ones, those who were ruthless enough to give up their foundation and treasure, still had a chance to survive.

Or maybe, if they had escaped from Toril in time when the Cult of the Dragon began to expand, they could have saved their lives... But it was already difficult for dragons to suppress their greed, so how could they be asked to give up most of their wealth?
Maybe Tiamat didn't think about anything when he did this, and was wholeheartedly focusing on trapping the metal dragon and Bahamut. Of course, what was more important was to collect a large number of treasures, but Io definitely knew everything.

The rain of dragon eggs after the dragon rage was not so much a gift from Io as it was his compensation to the dragons of Toril.

But, not to mention those guys who turned themselves into undead dragons, what about the dead dragons?

Lowry didn't think the surviving dragons would be unable to see this.

After the Dragon Rage, several famous dragons in Toril surrendered to a certain Toril god, preferring to be thugs for human gods rather than stay in their own home and endure the humiliation.

It's impossible to hate, as everyone knows the benefits of completely ending the Dragon Rage for all the dragons of Toril.

But who would think this is a good thing?

The golden dragon lost not only its leader but also his entire family! And then it completely fell from being the strongest dragon clan in Toril... Although all the major dragon clans suffered heavy losses, the golden dragons were obviously the worst.

To put it bluntly, I am willing to sacrifice for the future of the race, no problem.

But who would be willing to be used as cannon fodder without knowing anything?

Not to mention the dragon that values him the most.

Therefore, the famous couple, the Golden Dragon and the Silver Queen, who had lost their only child in the disaster, also completely threw themselves into the arms of the Magic Goddess.

Although they served her out of gratitude to the Supreme Lady of Silvermoon City.

But who can't see why they do that?
Although the High Lady of Silvermoon City has many faults, she has always been one of the strongest contenders for the Magic Goddess' future throne as a deity.

When that Mystra has gone through life and death, lost all emotions, and lives like a clockwork, she will no longer care about the past and will only choose people according to the preferences of the magic network.

Naturally, a couple who have such a close relationship with the Supreme Lady that they can disguise themselves as her perfectly can still receive each other's protection even if they cannot enter the Kingdom of God.

Although Toril's God of Gods is not a good guy, at least when he does trouble, he won't target his own people!
As long as Lori thought about the end of the Dragon Rage, those dragons known for their wisdom would try to find external help for themselves...

He quickly suppressed the lazy thoughts that arose in his mind.

Indeed, becoming a god, or becoming a human god, is the easiest way to deal with Io's methods.

After all, that person would try his best to avoid attracting the attention of outsiders when doing things, so he basically would not choose to attack a dragon that has external forces involved.

There was no way. He had fought AO for so many years, and had transformed himself from a big boss who was everywhere in the multiverse to a fighting dragon around Toril, but he still hadn't won many times.

With AO's reaction speed, if Io is not careful, he will be helping AO again.

Lori was confused for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead hard.

He really got carried away.

Is this something a kid like him should think about?
Even if the humanoid dragon is easy to deal with, it is not the turn of a minor like him.

Lori shook his head slightly.

He is not the type to be easily distracted.

Although he is indeed more of a pessimist and always thinks of the worst outcome when considering things, he will not elevate himself to such a high level.

He only thinks about the near future in terms of his present self.

Lori quickly thought of Ruth Kania’s previous warning… So, was it because he had received too much inheritance that his spiritual sea became a little unstable?
Lori took a deep breath. Then, should he go to sleep?
