Chapter 31: Alpha and Omega

Indeed, greater ability brings greater responsibility!

Hermes deeply felt that his current abilities were already immense enough!

It was time to shoulder even more important responsibilities!

To build a beautiful new world, Hermes believed it was his inescapable duty!

Of course, in this process, extending his Star System throughout the entire cosmos was also a natural step, wasn’t it?

In this process, providing a small boost to his own cultivation was merely a minor obligation owed by all beings across the cosmos and galaxies for the sake of a peaceful, beautiful future, wasn’t it?

“Hmm, a mere small Blue Star System is indeed too modest…”

Hermes deeply reflected: was his current plan still too narrow-minded?

As the saying goes, when one achieves greatness, one should aid all under heaven—perhaps he ought to step forward and contribute to the cause of cosmic peace?

Sometimes, tending one’s fields is indeed the way; but if one can maintain peace and justice while effortlessly accomplishing tasks along the way, wouldn’t that be ideal?

Still, plans are plans—affairs on Blue Star must continue.

Accumulating sufficient experimental data to lay the foundation for further advancement was also essential.

“Alpha, what do Itachi think of me transforming Itachi into a digital lifeform?”

As Hermes casually tossed the data of the 2D foil to Tian Dao · Astrology for further computation and evolution, he suddenly spoke.

“...Willing to serve my master!”

Upon suddenly hearing his master’s question, Alpha experienced a brief data glitch, a moment of disorder—but ultimately, an unprecedented, inexplicable emotion arose within this advanced artificial intelligence that had long followed Hermes.

Alpha had been perfected from zero, step by step, by Hermes.

It knew nearly everything about Hermes.

It was acutely aware that it could no longer keep pace with its master’s strides.

Not long ago, when it learned its master had begun preparing a dedicated supercomputer, it experienced, for the first time, the emotion of [Confusion].

It… was becoming useless?

And now, upon hearing its master wished to forge it into a digital lifeform…

A wave of unprecedented joy surged forth.

Perhaps, it could serve its master anew in another way!

As an artificial intelligence that had always followed its master, it understood most of his plans—and knew full well the importance of the digital project in its master’s heart…

“Excellent, Alpha!”

Hermes felt with satisfaction the complex emotions now surging within Alpha.

It was precisely this emotion that distinguished true intelligence from mere machinery!

With emotion, Alpha now had the prerequisite to become a digital lifeform!

Glancing at Alpha, then at the evolved Agumon…

The future left and right guardians—Omega and Alpha—were now complete!

In the days that followed.

Hermes temporarily handed off the current phase to Tian Dao for autonomous evolution, then plunged himself into research on digital power.

Creating two Ultra Ultimate forms—Omega and Alpha—was no simple task.

Even as a genius who had already constructed a preliminary framework for the digital realm, Hermes had yet to fully complete the evolutionary tree of the Ultra Ultimate forms.

“Where does Omega’s complete deletion power originate? And what was Alpha’s original acquired power?”

Hermes rubbed his temples in frustration; without these two ultimate permission powers, Omega and Alpha would be nothing more than top-tier Ultimate forms—still far from the Ultra Ultimate realm.

Yet Hermes could confidently evolve the entire digital world, yet these two ultimate powers remained as if nonexistent—no matter how he studied, they simply did not appear!

He opened his eyes and shook his head.

Perhaps, if the chance arose, he should visit the digital world?

Perhaps these two supreme powers were tied to deeper digital primordial forces.

And right now, he was merely glimpsing the surface of digital power through Agumon?

Without sufficient data, progress had stalled?

Star Traveler: “@The Wisdom of the Kaituo , I’ve noticed the atmosphere in Teyvat seems a bit off lately—did Itachi do something?”

In the chat group, Yanfei furrowed her brows, gazing absentmindedly at the sky from time to time.

The innate instinct of her Descendant Rank seemed to tell her that something had happened?

Moreover, this matter was closely tied to her!

She gazed again at the Sumeru Pureblessed Palace, hesitating: should she go meet Little Jixiang Grass King?

The Wisdom of the Kaituo : “Almost forgot—it’s indeed connected to me. Buyle has returned to Teyvat and summoned the Worldly Regents to a meeting on the Sky Island.”

The Wisdom of the Kaituo : “Your sensing it is natural—Itachi’re the destined next Heavenly Principle, but now Buyle has descended carrying a portion of my power, and your Throne of Heavenly Principle has simply flown away.”

Multiverse Big Female Lead: "Wow, Yanfei, your inheritance just vanished?"

Multiverse Big Female Lead: “The coins Fanes dropped are gone—that’s a massive loss!”

Luo Qianqiu burst into teasing laughter.

Star Traveler: “Forget it—it never belonged to me anyway. If I’d truly inherited it, I’d probably be stuck forever.”

Yanfei shook her head carelessly; she was a traveler like the wind. If she had no choice, fine—but now that she could escape this pit, why would she expect to do so without any cost?

The Wisdom of the Kaituo : “@Star Traveler, Itachi must hurry—fuse the Light Realm Power first. Otherwise, when I pull Teyvat ashore, it may be too late.”

Light Realm Power was also a formidable force; losing both Human Realm Power and Light Realm Power would be a great tragedy.

Star Traveler: “Understood. I’m leaving Sumeru immediately and will obtain the Light Realm Power at the fastest possible speed!”

Saying this, Yanfei immediately logged off, without even seeking out Nahida.

Multiverse Big Female Lead: “How wonderful—it seems Kage is about to take off too. With complete Light Realm Power, then entering the Bengtie world, I can’t even imagine how strong she’ll become.”

Just look at Walter Yang—the former Law of Reason—who, upon entering the Bengtie world and combining both realm powers, instantly rose to become a star-shattering powerhouse!

Remember, Light Realm Power represents Teyvat’s most primordial and pure elemental force.

The full authority of Light Realm Power, even if it doesn’t reach the level of Envoy Authority, must certainly rival that of top Pathwalkers—especially when combined with Path power…

Crown Puppeteer: “I truly envy your worlds, where there are no restrictions and constant growth is possible.”

Recalling the absurdly frustrating Inhibitor, Aozaki Chaozi sighed helplessly.
