Dear Broom Knight

As long as it's determined that this artifact belongs to a god of the Machine Realm, there's no need to consider other possibilities; it must be a Singularity.

Apart from the slight chance of some residue after their death, any other being in the Machine Realm, no matter how strong, can only be reduced to ashes, leaving nothing behind.

Even if gears and springs can be dispatched from the Machine Realm individually, they are essentially connected by an invisible thread.

The Machine Realm is never afraid of the Demon Zongs they send out dying… After their death, they will automatically transmit the important parts of their memories back to their superiors.

The Machine Realm will indeed try its best to retaliate for the death of a Demon Zong, but that's because a part of itself has been damaged, not for the sake of the unfortunate Demon Zong itself.

The only Demon Zong without a direct higher-level organization is the Singularity.

Even if it's also subject to the Machine Realm, it can still retain something for itself.

Others, even Second-Level Demon Zongs who can ascend to become Singularities at any time, powerhouses comparable to Intermediate Divine Power, can't 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 will make the superior Demon Zong realize that their self-awareness is too active, causing panic… that's the superior Demon Zong's problem.

A superior Demon Zong without independent thought will naturally report these things to exchange for a terrible inspection.

Those similar to it will choose to silently conceal it for him, because they can't withstand the investigation either.

Therefore, from the beginning of realizing that this artifact was related to the Machine Realm, Lowry began to suspect that this thing belonged to a former Singularity.

Most importantly, Lowry still remembered the joke he had once seen: a certain Singularity actually died from a curse issued by a Demon Lord with his soul.

Very organized, but completely unrealistic.

To put it bluntly, it was because Asmodeus, that immoral guy, exposed that Singularity's selfish thoughts due to a 'little' grudge, which led to the Singularity being abandoned by the Machine Realm.

Of course, even if it's the Machine Realm's own will, it's not that easy to kill a Lord of a Realm… Gears will gradually possess their own will as their level increases, doesn't the Machine Realm know this at all?

If it really killed a Singularity because of that reason, which indeed doesn't conform to the Machine Realm's laws but is universally present, the Machine Realm, like a clock tower, would probably collapse instantly, right?

The small gears connected between gears would all fall off.

In fact, discerning people understand why the Floe Ant Clan can develop their race freely on both sides of those gears… The Gears also have their own thoughts.

The Floe are all native species in the multiverse! Even ants can move freely in the astral plane.

In order to protect their families, the Ant Clan Matriarchs, at the very least Weak Divine Power, must protect the gears beneath their nests.

Those unspoken things hidden in their actions, those who understand, understand.

Therefore, Orcus, the Lord of Death in the Abyss, suffered a great misfortune, and it's no wonder he even hated that Singularity so much that he used a part of his soul to curse him.

Demons never consider the cause and effect, or who is scheming inside, they only retaliate against those who attack them.

Well, not to mention that Asmodeus, the Lord of Hell, also had a hand in it… That fallen Lord of Battle Angels really used the simplest method to send away two of his annoying guys at the same time.

Orcus probably hasn't recovered to his full strength even now, and can only watch something else use his necromantic power.

Even Tiamat, the Queen of Chromatic Dragons, snatched a portion away!

Speaking of which, Lowry has always harbored deep suspicions about the Dragon Rage incident, feeling that this was a rare, not entirely unsuccessful, battle between Io, the Nine-Headed Dragon God, and AO, the Overgod.

Although Tiamat herself doesn't have much intelligence, she has dragons behind her!

The Cult of the Dragon indeed tormented the dragons to death, and the dragons of Toril even lost almost half of their numbers.

But similarly, that Mythal, which existed as the trigger for the Dragon Rage, was also completely shut down because of this!

Indeed, the Mythal itself still exists, but if AO wants to open it again, he has to wait for a suitable opportunity, a justifiable reason specifically targeting dragons.

However, based on the current environment of Toril, dragons really don't have that status or position.

The dragons of that world have long lost the ambition to dominate the world; at best, they will only set their sights on the national treasury of some country.

Therefore, it can be said that although so many offspring's lives were sacrificed, it permanently allowed the 'tightening spell' on the dragons' heads to be turned off.

Although AO can still use the Dragon Rage Mythal to suppress the dragons.

But the trump card that could be used at any time has since become the final trump card.

Lowry doesn't know how many people and things were involved, including why the Dragon Cult leader, carrying Mystra's divine power of silver fire filled with Selûne, could hold on until the last moment, and why Lathander, such a vengeful guy, could still appear so optimistic after his divine avatar was injured by humans… But it's enough to know that the result was that AO made a wrong move.

This is also why he has always been in awe of Io, the Nine-Headed Dragon God, and is constantly vigilant.

An old but not dead person is a thief; none of these old guys who have lived for millions of years are easy to provoke.

Lowry will never allow himself to become a dragon in Toril who is obviously living well but still inexplicably suffers a tragic end.

Of course, he also knows that in the very beginning of that tragedy, the dragons, more or less, sensed something was wrong. Those who were smart and ruthless enough to give up that little bit of foundation and treasure still had a chance to survive.

Or, if they had fled Toril in time when the Cult of the Dragon began to expand, they could have saved their lives… But, it's already difficult to make dragons suppress their greed, let alone make them give up most of their wealth?

Perhaps Tiamat didn't think about anything when doing this, wholeheartedly trying to trick the metallic dragons and Bahamut. Of course, more importantly, she was collecting a large number of treasures, but Io definitely knew everything.

That rain of dragon eggs after the Dragon Rage, rather than saying it was Io's gift, it was better to say it was his compensation to the dragons of Toril.

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

Lowry doesn't think those surviving dragons can't see these things clearly.

After the Dragon Rage, several famous dragons in Toril defected to a certain Toril god and became his henchmen, preferring to be a thug for human gods rather than stay at home and endure that anger.

They hate but can't hate, everyone understands the benefits of completely ending the Dragon Rage for all Toril dragons.

But who would think this is good?

The gold dragons even lost their patriarch and his whole family, and completely fell from being the strongest dragon clan force in Toril… Although all the major dragon clans suffered heavy losses, the gold dragons were obviously the worst.

To put it bluntly, it's okay to sacrifice oneself for the future of the race.

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

Not to mention the dragons who value themselves the most.

Therefore, that gold dragon and silver dragon couple, who lost their only child in that disaster and had a very famous name, also completely devoted themselves to the embrace of the Goddess of Magic afterwards.

Although they serve by her side in the name of gratitude to that Lady of Silvermoon City.

But who can't see what they did that for?

Although that Lady of Silvermoon City has many flaws, she has always been one of the most powerful contenders for Mystra's future position as a god.

When that Mystra dies and comes back to life, loses all kinds of emotions, and lives like a clockwork, she will no longer care about the past and will only choose people according to the magic net's preferences.

Naturally, the couple, who are so closely related to that Lady that they can imitate her perfectly, even if they can't enter the divine kingdom, will be able to obtain her protection.

Although Toril's Overgod is not a good thing either, at least he doesn't trick his own people when he does things!

As soon as Lowry thought of the dragons, famous for their wisdom, were all trying to find external help after the Dragon Rage…

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

Indeed, becoming a god, or becoming a human god, is the easiest way to get rid of Io's methods.

After all, that guy tries to avoid attracting outsiders' attention when he does things, so he basically won't choose dragons with external forces involved to attack.

There's no way, he has fought with AO for so many years, turning himself from a ubiquitous big shot in the multiverse into a dragon-fighting specialist in Toril, but he still hasn't won many times.

With AO's reaction speed, Io accidentally helping AO do his job again.

Lowry was lost for a while, then suddenly slapped his forehead hard.

He's really getting carried away.

Is this something that a little punk like him should be thinking about?

Even if humanoid dragons are easy to mess with, it wouldn't be his turn as an underage one.

Lowry shook his head slightly.

His character is not the type to get carried away easily.

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

He will only consider the near future according to his current self.

Lowry quickly thought of Luskaniya's previous warning… So, is it because he has received too much inheritance, causing his mental sea to be a little unstable?

Lowry took a deep breath, then, should he go to sleep?
