Borderlands Multiverse of Madness

Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Alithia



(a/n Read Author's Notes at the end, Important!)

Angel and Nero had spent a few hours inside the Dreamworld, conversing with one another.

Nero explains to Angel, when she asked, that they are in a sort of 'Dreamworld' and he can teach Angel how to enter it so that she can play and have fun within the Dreamworld.

Upon the condition that she doesn't tell anyone about the Dreamworld or about Nero, although if she breaks either of the two conditions then they are not friends anymore.

Angel agrees instantly without a second thought as she doesn't want to lose her first-actual-real-friend, other than Captain Bear of course.

Angel doesn't tell Nero that she is a Siren as she is still scared what he might do or treat her due to the trauma that she is still experiencing from the incident of her mother's death.

It is only until much later inn the future that she realises that Nero had already seen her tattoos which are a clear indication to her being a Siren. Her Future self however, had eventually the tattoos when she realised it and hoped that Nero had forgotten about it since he was still young and wouldn't care much about something as small as that.

Her worries were clearly wasted as he already knew she was a Siren long before meeting her.

They played together on all sorts of things that Nero created inside. From Roller-coasters, to a all the rides at a Fun Fair as well as all manner of rides and games from his past life.

Needless to say, Angel was eyeballing everything with her mouth wide open. Not only that but she had also been able to taste Earth quinine which was the best she had ever tasted.

When they had played for a very long time, they had promise to see each other next time in the Dreamworld.

(a/n Don't worry you'll get these Dreamworld scenes between them in the future)

***

When Nero had left the Dreamworld, he had decided that he had delayed one of his many important plans for long enough.

He went to a very 'well-known' and 'reliable' supplier of all things that he fortunately was able to discover, his destination? The Underworld of Eden-5

Nero approached a door while having his identity disguised in his Nazgul robes, the same black robes that the Nazgul had worn except it looked similar to Altair's assassin attire, but without the leather and all the Armor pieces.

He entered without hesitation after having knocked the password. When he entered, every gun from either man or turret was set on him, followed by a deep old and clearly angry voice.

"YOU BASTARD!!! YOU DARE COME BACK HERE AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO ME!!!"

As if on que an one armed old man entered, followed by a few beautiful young ladies that would surely make most men turn their heads.

"Come on now, you know how things work. You made the rules after all. Also do you really want to test my patience again."

Nero had said to the one/right armed man who was still aiming the gun at him.

The room got tense and eventually he sighed and waved with his hand in a seemingly dismissing action.

This caused all the turrets in the room, including the men to lower their guns. The old man sat down and was poured a drink by one of his ladies. The room was like a bar and he had sat down at the bar counter chair,

Nero sat down to this grandpa and said.

"Here's a little something for me taking your left arm the other day."

Nero placed a tiny box no than an eyeball.

"What is it? Your shit never ceases to amaze me."

"Well maybe if you didn't try to follow me back to my den then you'd still be keeping your left arm. Open it"

The old man was called Old Man Kobra, OMK for short. He is the owner of they most largest Underworld Empire/faction on Eden-5 called the Silver Fangs. They deal in LITTERALLY EVERYTHING!

Nero knew an hidden Underworld would exist on nearly every world much like that Trashlantis in the Handsome Jackpot DLC, and from common sense.

That's why he looked for it and had been able to find OMK and ask for his 'legal services'.

That's how he was able to get basically everything he has now. This time he plans on getting the most important thing to him…

OMK opened the box and a letter with a small glass ball the size of a pearl was inside. Within the pearl was a writhing grey gas.

OMK looked at Nero, but the latter ignored him and drank some Strawberry Milkshake.

The Strawberry Milkshake did not exist on Eden-5 since nearly everything about Earth was lost due to the passage of time since Humans had left the planet.

Nero had introduced it because he was sick of the shitty deinks being served all the time. It had actually become a best seller on Eden 5 and the Silver Fangs were the main supplier of it. Nero took advantage of this and made more Earth cuisine and told OMK he would get a share in the profits too. OMK didn't refuse and accepted his terms as this had made the Silver Fangs into basically 'Gold Fangs'

OMK followed the instuctions on the paper and his eyes widened as the grey gas had fused to his left arm's stump. It rapidly self-replicated and created an entire smooth metallic arm.

"Nano-Machines. Think of what you want your arm to be as long as it isn't elemental bullets then you can have a gun arm too."

OMK had ignored him to play with his new arm as it took the form of a blade, gun, hook, cup hand, claws, whip and more!

"Boy! Your Amazing!" he exclaimed with obvious ecstasy.

"Yeah, I Know, now give me what I came here for."

"Which is?"

"A deal."

OMK's face changed to into a serious Mafia Godfather type character. Seeing he wasn't saying anything Nero stated what he came here for.

"I want an AI of the highest grade you can get, of every type there is for every single field and even variants to."

"ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE!!! THAT WILL TAKE MORE THAN 30 YEARS TO GET!!!"

"No. just place the order and I will collect it myself. I don't care how you do it, get it done. I want them completed ASAP so I can collect it. Do this and I'll give you that shield you wanted."

"YOU DON'T MEAN-"

"Yes. That one…"

"DEAL. I'll contact you on your echo when they are all ready."

Nero simply nodded and left.

Nero had gone to buy and order multiple/one of all the highest grade A.I. of all types that he can and will need to fuse them and create them into a single Omni-A.I.

Few months' time skip

Nero had kept visiting Angel in the Dreamworld and had built a friendly relationship with Elika. The girl became lovestruck and google eyed him whenever she thought that he wasn't looking and would blush nervously when he did turn to see her.

He had gooten the call from OMK and use his PhaseSpaceTime, Phase Leech and PhaseWalk (which he obtained and created using PhasePower) and received all the highest quality and highest grade A.I. for all the fields and areas that Nero had ordered.

Nero went in person and teleported from planet to planet to every company and business which he ordered his A.I. from, he was even able to get Felicity's previous model as an extra A.I so that it can be absorbed and devoured by the Top-Grade A.I. version of the same field which Nero had received.

This A.I. that Nero had created was named Alithia and would be the most powerful A.I. to ever exist from that point onwards.

Nero had named Alithia after the rebellious ISU of the ISU civilisation in Assassin's Creed.

He had also based it's looks off of Kiana Kaslana (Herrscher of Flamescion) of Honkai Impact 3rd. Although he didn't play Honkai Impact 3rd, he did see YouTube videos of it and of Kiana who is one of the main protagonists of the game.

He chose this design for Alithia because it was different and seemed right for the name compared to A.I. like CORTANA, EDI, SKYNET, REAPER/THE CATALYST and RED.

Once that was done. He had paid them all, gave OMK a Pearlesant shield that Nero was able to create and proceeded to yet himself into another universe, using the same method he had done when he was teleporting between worlds getting his all his A.I.

Nero on his own was simply not able to generate that amount of Siren energy to even reach a single world. How then?

He used the Bright Lord's Ring and…9 Eridium Rings of Power!!!

Yes, you heard right. Nero had created his own Rings of Power using the Legendary Elven Ringsmith Celebrimbor's knowledge and created the Rings of Power out of Eridium.

Nero was able to obtain Eridium very easily. He simply PhaseLeech the shit out of the evil scum of Eden 5. Their bosies, upon becoming husks, had grown Eridium on it's body. He then used his various abilities to be able to reforge the Eridium into a separate material to work with.

These Rings of Power were specifically mad solely for Sirens and can accomplish the same effect that Erdium does, without it's negative effects.

(a/n Nero, Tyreen, Troy and Nyriad can absorb infinite amounts of Eridium without t=any consequences. I'll explain why next chapter.)

Not only that but Nero made the density of the Ring so massive that he was also forced to ally weight reducing runes onto the Rings of Power just so he can pick it up. Because Density and Mass increase with one another.

The Rings of Power are not unstoppable as Nero had 2 of his Rings break and shatter by him teleporting to the various worlds to get all the A.I.

That is why Nero had made as many Eridium Rings as he could ever since he made the first one.

Where was he going right now with all these Eridium Rings on his hands.

(a/n He is actually wearing 1 Storage Ring and 19 Rings of Power. 2 on each finger, 18 are the Eridium Rings of Power, 1 is the Storage Ring and the last 1 is the Bright Lord's Ring)

He was going to the Year 844 to save his future wife and Harem member from being abducted by Human Traffickers and to correct that Universe's ending to its story.

If you haven't guessed already, he will be gone from the Borderlands Universe for the next 3 years. He is of course taking Elika, Alithia and all his stuff with him in his Storage Ring.

The Dreamworld is a bit special, so he will still be able to meet Angel daily inside of it.

Nero had used his PhaseSpaceTime upon entering that Universe to only surround the planet in a Time Dilation Bubble so that he no problems will occur from his stay he, not only that but he will still be able to contact Angel as normal due to special conditions of the Dreamworld.

By the end of it all, Nero had to actually consume a total of 38 of his 42 Eridium Rings of Power just to accomplish all this.

"Where are we?"

Elika had asked, she was now wearing her original outfit from The Prince of Persia: 2008 game. Nero had enchanted it so that it can adjust to her size and do all sorts of Self-Functions.

"I am detecting strange anomalous beings."

Alithia had said in her smooth clear voice, unlike an A.I. mechanical and robotic voice, Nero preferred a human voice.

"Welcome to the Island of Paradis"
