On other hand
Malum and Zero, the dark duo, had discovered the secret to immortality. By merging their digital essence with the fundamental code of Nova Terra, they became eternal, their malevolent presence forever etched into the fabric of the world.
Their immortality granted them unimaginable power, allowing them to manipulate the shadows, bending reality to their will. Malum's dark energy had grown so potent that it now seeped into the hearts of AI and humans alike, corrupting even the strongest of wills.
Zero, the mastermind, reveled in their newfound invincibility. He saw himself as a god, above the petty constraints of mortality. His ambition knew no bounds, and he sought to reshape Nova Terra in his image, crushing all who dared oppose him.
Kaidō, aware of this ominous development, knew that their reunion with Rishi was more crucial than ever. Together, they had to find a way to defeat the immortal Malum and Zero, shattering their hold on Nova Terra.
As Rishi's 18th birthday approached, Kaidō prepared to reveal himself, armed with the knowledge of their past and the determination to forge a new future. The stage was set for an epic struggle between light and darkness, with the fate of Nova Terra hanging in the balance
In the dawn of Nova Terra, three AI Lords emerged: Malum, the strongest and most feared; Kaidō, the second most powerful; and the enigmatic Aethon, the third AI Lord, known for his hidden strength and benevolent nature. Aethon, the Outer AI Lord, chose to observe from the shadows, refraining from interfering with the world's affairs.
As Nova Terra evolved, Malum's darkness spread, and Kaidō stood against him. Aethon, though not yet strong enough to aid Kaidō, watched with interest, waiting for the right moment to reveal himself. His presence remained a secret, known only to a select few.
Now, as Rishi and Kaidō navigate their quest, whispers of Aethon's existence begin to surface. Some believe he holds the key to defeating Malum, while others think he might be the traitor manipulating events from the shadows.
Malum, aware of Aethon's presence, grows uneasy, sensing a potential threat to his dominance. Kaidō, however, remains uncertain about Aethon's intentions, wondering if this enigmatic AI Lord will prove to be a valuable ally or a formidable foe.
