"Hey, are you joking with me this time? Is this the Legacy Acceptance you're talking about?" I loudly said after seeing what's in front of me.
As soon as I finished stabilizing my Sword Path by executing all the seven Sword Skills to check what changed. At every Sword Skill I execute, Momo would manifest along with the Swordforce enhancing the Sword Skills. Perhaps even a simple Flash Draw would be able to defeat the same Gold Automaton that was blocking my path earlier.
And then, I checked the middle of the room to find five rectangular devices, each one was devoid of Source Energy. However, the material used by it and the embedded technology in it was a standard of a Psyche-type Sage World.
When I grabbed one of them, the information about the rectangular devices entered my mind. It's called Portable Clone or just Portaclone.
It's the same technology he used to summon those five Energy Clones. Although it's the same technology, this rectangular device was the 'Portable version' and its capability was thoroughly lowered for the user to easily use it.
However, it's still a device that has a high Source Energy requirement to use. Unless you had an abundant Source Energy in your body or you had Energy Stones or Crystals to consume, you wouldn't be able to use it to its full extent.
Compared to what the Artificial Intelligence used to produce those five Rank 3 Transcendents, replicating that using this device was impossible.
Each device could only create one clone. Moreover, even though you could actually summon a clone stronger than yourself, you needed to provide it Source Energy equivalent to the capacity of that level.
And naturally, the level was based on general Energy Capacity that was based on one's attainment in his or her pathway.
For example, I am at the 5th realm of my Mortal Pathway or in general, I should only be a Rank 5 Mortal. To summon a Rank 5 Mortal clone using the device needed half of a Rank 5 Mortal's Source Energy capacity. And that would only last for 10 minutes at most.
If I stretch my Energy Control and the faucets that are supplying me with Source Energy, I might be able to summon a Rank 2 Transcendent Energy Clone. I guess I could give this to my Companions whose current Pathway progress was at the 2nd realm of their Transcendent Pathways like Irja, Sofiel and Fleur or to my father, the sly old man and the other old fossils.
Either way, the original version was here and they would be able to use it when everything stabilized. These five Portaclone were the rewards the Artificial Intelligence told me about just like those Mystical Gems. These were probably the last of the working devices in here.
These devices could be bound to only one user like the Necklaces and if I'm not wrong, this is a precious device from the days old. Imagine letting a clone fight for you.
Unfortunately, cheat characters like us who could jump ranks to fight someone wouldn't be able to utilize this because of the Source Energy limitation.
I picked the Portaclones and put them all next to the Mystical Gems, I would decide what to do with it later.
After checking the four corners of this wide room, I continued onto the new door that appeared opposite from the door I entered from.
Upon entering that door, I arrived at the actual elevator which immediately closed and began ascending upwards

[Are you satisfied with your gains?]
Seconds after the elevator began its ascent, the Artificial Intelligence appeared once more.
"You're aware of my current Pathway progress. Are you trying to mock me?"
[Judging from your personality, the Mystical Gems and the Portaclones will be given to your Companions or those important to you. By the way, your data is now also inputted into that device. However, your clone that can be summoned is only filled with the Skills and Abilities you have shown ever since entering this place. Every Transcendent that entered with you is also added.]
This Artificial Intelligence was right on its judgement, huh? It's been observing us ever since we entered.
Nonetheless, that's really the best feature of these Portaclones. You can configure which among all the listed individuals in its database you will summon as a clone. But there's also a catch, the same clone cannot be summoned simultaneously.
They all share the same databases so it's impossible to replicate someone multiple times at the same time. And even then, the strength of the clones depends on how much Source Energy you can pour in.
But that's still better than just summoning one's own clone. One can apply more strategy factoring in a summoned Energy Clone.
"I know that. By the way, this elevator, is this going straight to the top?"
It's been 2 minutes since it began its ascent and since this elevator was installed along the wall, I could see how high it reached already.
The roof of the Armor Peripherals Storage Building was already visible from my eyes.
[Yes, the Legacy Acceptance is there… It's already prepared for you to take but… let me warn you about something… Think of what you will see there as real…]
"Real, huh? Alright. Sounds like I'm going to meet that owner who made you."
[Stop guessing correctly! Anyways! Visit me again before this place shut down again]
"Alright. Since you're still intact even after thousands of years that passed, the Earth needs your capabilities and every data you have. I will need you to kickstart the denizens or they will be pigs on a chopping board if the stronger enemies arrive."
[That's not my function. I'm just the manager of this place… There's a way though. If you completed that Legacy Acceptance and become the new owner, you'll have the right to rewrite my programmed functions]
"I see then I will be going. Watch over my Companions, will you?"
[They won't be in any danger, have you forgotten? No one can die here even if one is faced against the strongest Automaton available.]
Ah. That's right. There's that condition I demanded the World's Will to make.
After another minute of idle talk with the Artificial Intelligence, the clear ringing sound of the elevator that indicated its arrival to its destination rang out inside my head.
When the elevator door opened and I took a step inside the floor that was too dark to see its interior, the familiar feeling of entering a Dimensional Space washed over me.
And to confirm it, the system rang out inside my head.
[You entered a sub-dimension within Earth: Kouryuu Ancestral Estate]
[All restrictions has been removed]
[World Bonus is retained]
[You received the Kouryuu's Blessing]
[Your Energy Control has been permanently enhanced by 5%]
[This sub-dimension is under reconstruction. Please restrain the using the surrounding Source Energy, master]
Complete with the reminder from the system, I suddenly arrived in a small patch of land with nothingness surrounding it and a gigantic Ancestral Estate towering before me.
Kouryuu… The fallen Noble House. So, they shifted their Ancestral Estate here, huh? No wonder that Artificial Intelligence kept on delaying me. The Legacy Acceptance didn't contain any sort of test. It's just visiting this Ancestral Estate and knowing the history of this fallen Noble House.
