224. Clearing the Memory.
Agatha's expression was a sight to behold. She recognized the origin of the giant eyeball instantly, but her mind kept denying the reality of her thoughts. After a long pause, Agatha finally asked dryly, "Is this thing... the one I'm thinking of?"
"If you mean the Watcher, then your guess is correct. It came from a fallen Watcher. I acquired it as a trophy from the Orb." Alex replied honestly.
"Incredible... I never imagined this thing would actually appear before me. This... this must be an existence older than magic itself," Agatha said, swallowing hard, clearly holding a deep respect for the Watcher race.
"So, with the Watcher's Eye, we should be able to 'see' where Baron Mordo is, right?" Alex asked. Although phrased as a question, Alex already knew the answer in his heart.
The Watchers, beings that existed even before the birth of the universe, wielded immense and unfathomable power. All known sources of energy are somehow related to their knowledge.
Some speculate that the Watchers might be connected to the Progenitor God, beings higher than any other form of life in the universe, making them nearly omnipotent. These entities, who exist outside the timeline, possess abilities that can fulfill almost any need.
And the eye of a fallen Watcher, naturally, has the power to see through all illusions and effortlessly locate Baron Mordo's whereabouts. However, how to utilize this tool became Alex's current challenge.
"The Watcher's Eye isn't something simple. It's unlike anything you've encountered before. Even though its owner is dead, it still possesses the Watcher's power. Using this thing is akin to willingly touching the forbidden," Agatha explained, sharing her impressions of the Watcher's Eye. As someone who had lived for many years, she had some understanding of these realms that ordinary people could not access.
"You shouldn't have forcibly taken this thing. Watchers don't record the events of the universe because they can store everything they see in their eyes. I can feel that there's still a lot of knowledge and energy left in it. If you try to control it, the result will be being overwhelmed by its endless power."
"I'm more aware of its dangers than you, Ms. Agatha, and I certainly don't want to get entangled with the Watcher race for no reason," Alex frowned.
When it came to the Watcher's Eye, one of the highest creations in the universe, Alex wasn't particularly familiar with it. He only knew that this eyeball was like a storage device, and it was also connected to numerous 'surveillance cameras.'
Agatha instinctively wanted to refute, but she opened her mouth and found herself unable to say anything. She knew Alex was right. Just as the All-Seeing Agamotto had crafted an 'all-seeing' eye, theoretically, the Watcher's Eye could be similar. But that was just in theory—making it a reality would be incredibly difficult.
"Honestly, sir, I can't even imagine what you'd use as the Watcher's Eye's vessel. The energy within this eye is enormous. Even in the days before the Old Ones, finding a matching object would have been incredibly difficult, especially now that we're pressed for time," Agatha said, shaking her head slightly.
"Moreover, the Watcher's Eye isn't just an ordinary eye. I can sense that it has its own independent thought processes, and it can't reside in inanimate objects. To use it, you need to find a living being capable of bearing its power."
"A living being as the vessel..." Alex mused.
Initially, Alex intended to use the Watcher's Eye as a tool he could deploy at will, but now it seemed that his plan might need some minor adjustments.
"Agatha, with your expertise in mental magic, extracting the stored data from this eyeball shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
"What are you planning?" Agatha stared blankly at Alex, feeling that this crazy dark wizard was about to do something shocking.
Alex merely smiled slightly at this, his tone light.
"I want to clear this storage device's memory."
