Ok, so...
What happens if he has a copy of a god in his head? Because, let's say he meets Death of the Endless, or really any being on her level...
Are they connected to their mental copy throughout the multiverse? Do the copy keep the powers of the original? Because that ability seems like it could escalate into some really crazy shenanigans FAST.

I get the feeling that trying to connect his soul to something like one of the endless would make him combust and implode at the same time, taking the corner of the multiverse he is in with him.

Eh, I don't think so. Technically, EVERY souls are already connected to the Endless.
What could happen is that the soul collapse, Ascend, or the connection would just break.
I mean, it isn't impossible to steal an Endless' powers, so... It isn't quite as dangerous as one might think to try and connect yourself to one, as long as you've got permission for example.

theaceoffire, only you could make an orgy hilarious!

Complainers, kindly please stop antagonizing the writer.
If you do not wish to read about this part either wait patiently or abandon the story altogether.
And do realize that whether you like the current stop or not, it is an important part of the SI's journey and never done on a whim.
Or rather, everything is the writer's whim. Such as continuing the story.

Huh, I figured he'd just merge her with her self in the wormverse since, if I remember correctly, little to no time should have passed since he left. It should be like she just got to go on a vacation with her boyfriend. I,guess the main problem is drift? Where she becomes different enough that they're no longer compatible?

The true reason to dislike this chapter is this. Armsy is a bro. You don't just spit in the bro code like that, man.
More seriously I don't think this development is a very good idea? It really sounds like it'd be massively bloating the character count, something that's already a problem with dimensional-hopping stories like this.
Also, harem. I do not particularly care for polygamy in stories one way or the other, but this one slammed into mass pairing in a single chapter, and boy isn't that a DEFCON 1 situation.

Eh. Dragon's immortal. I'm sure she can just stick around with Armsmaster for the next few decades. That, or just create a fork or herself to stick with Adam, while she's with Armsmaster.

Also, when Adam first got Harmony, it was Asking for information from a being's soul not forcefully taking it. Besides, I'm pretty sure that people of that power level know how to defend their soul from outside influences.

Honestly, I've been pretty much just skimming this whole mlp segment because of how utterly uninteresting I find it, but at this point, I'm done. Thanks for the fun.

I actually agree, but unlike Nightmare Moon and Twilight, the others are not full copies of the originals. They are fictional figments of a sex fantasy, that were accidentally given more substance when a magical god pony invaded his mind/dreamworld.
And true, Dragon can easily duplicate herself or whatever. But the Dragon in his mind started off as one of the more basic imaginations of a man, not off her original code.

So... this Dragon isn't actually Dragon at all, when you think about it.
This version hasn't been created the same way/by the same guy as the original, isn't even an AI, and isn't even from the same universe.
She MAY have the looks, but honestly this Dragon is basically more like a succubus, or some kind of newly-born Dream/Lust spirit than anything eslse...
Had she been born in the DC universe, I would have considered her a newly-born inhabitant of Dream's Domain, really.

Celestia narrowed her eyes as she sipped her tea.
Luna was... slumpy. Eyes blurred, her hoof drifting as she slowly ate breakfast.
She coughed. "Trouble sleeping?"
Luna jerked, more awake. "Oh. Sorry, our night was... complicated."
Hmm. "I suppose our dimensional visitor was to blame. I assume you visited him last night?"
Her sister's absent nod didn't clear up much. "Hmm. Why do you seem so.. distracted?" She smirked. "Did you go dream peeping?"
Luna's expression was priceless! "WHAT! No! We were just worried that he would have a... uh. We were fretful that he would need dream calming. Terrors and all that."
Was that a blush? "And... what sort of dream did you happen to find?"
No, THAT was a blush. A massive one. "He was... occupied. At first."
Celestia snorted. "Well, even as a wolf he is the prime of life. You've bumped into naughty dreams before, especially when young colts were involved."
Luna looked aside. "Y... Yes. It may have been of an adult nature."
The Sunlight Princess took another bite of her cake. Best breakfast ever. "Honestly, you don't need to be so prudish about it. It's not like he was dreaming of you or something."
Awkward silence fell.
Celestia's eyes widened. "No."
Luna coughed. "Right, it's been a long night and we should get some rest."
Celestia was already chasing her as she began to flee. "Sister code! I already invoke it! Stop running and spill already!"
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Adam blinked. Sleeping in this form was in some ways more easy, as there wasn't any flesh to pinch or feel sore. On the other hand, he didn't have eye lids. So blinking his eyes was like winking a lantern by closing it quickly.
Still, he was awake. And not having to directly communicate in the awkward group in his head space was very nice.
Narwhal had calmed down a lot after a few hours, but uh. Dragon was... very logical. And awkward. And he learned things he hadn't wanted to know.
Like how Narwhal had gotten her to promise in a threesome with Dragon's boyfriend if they hadn't found anyone else beforehand to date. And visa-versa. Or how Narwhal had been trying to convince Dragon to do the 'Multiple Bodies' trick in virtual world BEFORE he left. It had become something of a fantasy of Narwhal by now.
Apparently his girlfriend had backed off on those issues a bit after Armsmaster and her started considering actual dating... but had ramped right back up when Narwhal realized that an antisocial tinker and a un-bodied AI were taking the idea of going 'slow' to unheard of levels. To exasperating levels.
Right now, the two hadn't even gone beyond 'tinkering in the same room', much less upgrading to 'tinkering on the same table'. Their version of 'cybersex' was project collaboration.
Basically, Narwhal had been trying to push Dragon into trying kinky stuff with Armsmaster for weeks before Adam had jumped dimension, not that he had noticed. Those memories being absorbed did not help calm down either of the girls during the unexpected mid-orgy 'Surprise: We Be People' situation.
So technically, according to Narwhal anyway, you didn't count as being in a relationship until you... like... asked to be in one. Or at least went on a date. Or held hands. Or even said 'I like you' in some form.
Frankly, some of Adam's flirting with others had gone farther than the tinker cyborg and tinker beard man had. Which was... super sad.
And... he didn't want to know ANY of this. He wasn't exactly amazing at social stuff.
Worse, Nightmare Moon was having a blast.
Poor thing had been stuck alone for years, so this drama was like the best television sitcom ever! Mind-Twilight was making things worse with her innocent questions, as 'Herding' or group dating was actually a social norm, if not common in Equestria. So her asking 'When would you three join us?' and so such just made Dragon blush harder and Narwhal start laughing again.
Mai was staying out of it, and Luna left after the teasing started drifting in her direction. Because Nightmare Moon jumped ALL over that topic. 'Remember that time you almost got caught...' and 'Were you not involved in a few orgies back when...' conversations made Princess Luna abandon Adam's brain pretty quickly.
Again, things he didn't want to know. Though some perverted section of his heart did take note.
After some yelling and compromises, the final plan was to allow the original beings in the Worm Universe to view memories of the AI's and (Hopefully) set up future information exchanges if things went well. It wouldn't be a true merging of beings, but more a fun movie to enjoy. With emotions. And the feelings.
Over all, he was... not furious. More resigned.
MOST guys were allowed a naughty dream or two without their significant others receiving a 3d mental movie with sexposition and naughty sound effects. And in a way, he was lucky. What if Narwhal HADN'T shown up in this dream? Forget the wolf house, he would have been neutered!
Anyway, he talked with Squishy a while.
Just in case, no more dreams. Too dangerous now that his mind and simulation were so oddly connected. Squishy would either have him stay in the simulation or enjoy visualizations like stars and soothing music from now on. Any dreams he would have had would be handed over for Squishy to care for, while Mai and Nightmare Moon had loved the idea of custom crafting dreams for him in the future. Narwhal alone had started suggesting a whole list of erotic stuff before Adam could get her to move to a different topic.
Thus, Squishy would review all dreams first... just in case.
He shifted off the couch, moving toward the kitchen and away from the books. Spike and real world Twilight were having breakfast when they noticed Adam sit. "Morning!"
Adam sighed, slumping on the table. "Good Morning, Twilight. Spike."
She finished her toast, concerned. "Everything alright?"
He closed his eyes. Or turned off the fire. Whatever. "No. Had a magical incident last night when Princess Luna tried to enter my dream and stop some nightmares."
She gaped. "What? What happened!?" Spike also seemed far more alert now.
Adam glanced at her. "I left the 'Harmony' power on. And when my powers saw her enter my mind, it tried to protect me. And well... there was already a Princess Luna in my dream." He sighed. "Anyway, I now have several magically powered personas in my soul that might as well be magical versions of you, Princess Luna, and simpler versions of some loved ones from my home world."
Ignoring their reaction, he stretched. "It won't happen again, at least not by accident. But I might have to invest in an illusion ability next power charge so they can interact in the real world. Not sure how accurate my Twilight is compared to you, but she is eager to do research on the whole situation. And on my time project. And uh... everything really."
Spike nodded, confused. "That... sounds like her? I guess?"
He managed to direct the ensuing conversation away from WHY the two ponies were in his dream to begin with, but his original idea of learning enough magic to jump straight to time manipulation had been firmly side tracked.
And illusions were useful after all, especially to the more creative casters. The ongoing discussion even implied that he may be able to get away with actual pony magic instead of wasting a power charge on that. For now.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Applejack fled home, heading to Apple Bloom's clubhouse.
Seriously Granny, why!? It was embarrassing enough showing up late at night, covered in sweat from a hard days work, and seeing a stallion in wolf's clothing in her home with a voice slicker than wagon grease.
That the guy was being stuffed with food and being told how many fillies and colts her granddaughter Applejack could pop out... it was horrible!
And this morning, Granny Smith didn't even slow down! Though she bounced between how strong that 'Nice young stallion' seemed and 'Something was a bit wild about him' and so such. Well no surprise there, a wolf IS a bit wild compared to the namby pamby colts she bumped into around town.
That was Adam, anyway. Apple Bloom mentioned the guy had been talking close with Princess Luna, and during Applejack's rounds last night she heard from the gossip that Twilight Sparkle had been spotted on the way home, carried like a babe on that same creatures back.
So, claimed... possibly double claimed. By royalty no less!
...Still didn't want their first official meeting to involve grandmothers and implied dating tips.
The massive shadow of Mai brought her back to focus as she got closer to the mountain's side entrance. Which was one of the heads with a wide open mouth and a tongue in the shape of stairs.
It took her little time to find the three girls of the 'Cutie Mark Crusaders', though seeing Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy was a surprise. "Howdy Girls! Sorry, I meant to get started sooner even if today's my off day."
Rainbow Dash waved it off. "Forget it, Applejack! Scootaloo was giving me an awesome story about how they were saved at the last moment! Danger, a hero!"
Fluttershy was frowning... which was unusual for her. "I am very disappointed with those wolves. I know they don't work well with the other animals, but a couple of nice Chimera living near the edges of the trail had been working hard to keep our sections safer."
That was... far more talking than the shy yellow pony normally did. "Welp, I'm glad you all were safe."
Sweetie Belle seemed the most subdued, but all three girls were at least chipper. Although all of them protested at first when the lower sections of the club house were to become an ACTUAL club.
In the end, they would get an allowance boost for now, a portion of the proceeds that would be put in a bank for when they were older, and well... Fluttershy did that disappointment look thing.
But it really had to be done, the town was far too enthusiastic about having such a pure area with cleansed magic. It reduced the chance of medical problems, increased the chance of pregnancy and healthy newborns, and uh... 'encouraged' the males.
None of that would be great for little girls though, and thankfully Mia agreed with no issue. So the house was slowly growing upward and the bottom floors were already becoming a separate 'party' facility.
Pinkie Pie was still down there. Changing things. It may become the town's default party room, as compared to Sugarcube Corner where Pinkie Pie usually worked.
Honestly, the most fun part of the conversation was hearing how Sweetie Belle escaped from Rarity's mother hen instincts this morning.
By convincing her that Mai, a mountain-house-club-farm-(sex dungeon?)-plant thing.... needed a hat. Or more specifically, eight hats. One for each head.
It would take a while.
~~~Broken Adventure~~~
Adam felt progress for the first time.
Pure, raw, unending progress.
Those scans of Twilight, all those ponies, and so forth?
Pure. Gold.
His body had a weak version of the energy veins, or chakra paths, or whatever they were that ponies possessed within seconds.
'Recovery' and 'Growth' had then escalated that to untold levels as experimentation within his flesh found efficiency and throughput beyond the norm. The itching, strange heat and cold waves, all of that got handled within an hour or two.
Each claw became something similar to a horn, or at least could be used the same way. Someday he could cast twenty spells, theoretically.
Obviously he stayed focused. Even as his teeth gained magical channels, as his tail became more than just a nuisance.
And the payoff was glorious!
Something about 'Fire Manipulation' merged with 'Harmony' during testing, and the energy, the magic flowing through his new magical system was just... perfectly controlled.
Those feelings allowed him to quickly develop high levels of control WITHOUT those powers activated... so he could swap to 'Research' and 'Growth'.
And the important puzzle piece that had made everything work together?
Illusions.
Right now, virtual screens and consoles filled Twilight's lab. Illusions of TwilightAI and Nightmare Moon (That had been an awkward introduction/explanation to his host) were examining test data and using the illusion interfaces to suggest more tests, while actual Twilight seemed trapped in a happy mess of emotions and experiments.
Because Illusions, his Simulations, Golden Garden, Dragon, and 'Harmony' with 'Technomancy'?
It was a match made in heaven!
Data was absorbed by 'Harmony', examined by 'Technomancy', entered into Golden Garden, Manipulated by Dragon, and his mental ponies were able to work with him and Twilight as if everyone was flesh and blood.
Problems during casting? Caught, analyzed, suggestions offered, simulated, tested, implemented.
Within hours his spell casting ability was beyond improved! Hours more and illusion efficiency had gone up through the roof!
And then... TwilightAI and Twilight had brought up other illusions. Non-visual ones. True, they needed Sorcerer level enchanting abilities and spell frameworks... but now, with his advancements...
Illusion of touch. Illusion of sound. Of smell. Of taste.
Achieved, studied, improved, simplified, enhanced.
He flexed a paw, each claw of which handled a different aspect of what he needed.
Minor telekinesis to enhance to illusion of touch. Weak transformation of the air to create scent particles. Layers of visual illusion creating color, shade, reflections.
And... an apple. Simple, looked slightly damp.
Dragon appeared, Golden Garden now upgraded to be able to use his back paws as casting tools to not interfere with Adam's work. Nightmare Moon and both Twilights leaned close.
He gulped. And took a bite.
Even the juice was convincing! It wouldn't actually make one full or whatever, but this was one of the most advanced tests for illusions currently known by the magical pony community. Not surprising that it would focus on an item that all ponies would be used to and have prior experience with. He carefully watched the juice drip over the bite edge. Beautiful.
Twilight was stunned. "That... that normally takes decades of work to achieve! Even I took three months, and I didn't aim for this level of complexity!"
Adam blinked. "What about that giant spell when I arrived? And I know you've done bigger things before."
The pony of magic waved a hoof. "That was maybe two layers of spell casting and many layers of predesignated frameworks that were mostly similar. Hard, but not up to this level of discrete spells of unrelated domains!"
Nightmare Moon hummed as she took the apple from his paw. Now that it was cast, the spell was anchored on other spells and would exist without more meddling. "I am... very impressed as well. I've done more complicated illusions, but I relied on my overwhelming power to force my creations when needed. Never have I seen something use so little energy so effectively."
TwilightAI was back to work. "I still think we can reduce the spell cost by 0.54 units if we can just tie in the color illusions with the texture layers. It would simplify the spell sections that change color shades based on viewer angle as well."
Adam shrugged. "I'm happy with this level for now, it's not like I can cast any of this without storing the spell framework as a program in Golden Garden anyway."
Dragon bit into the creation. "Hmm. It tastes better than the scans of apples you made back in our world. Maybe due to magic filling in the unrecorded data? Or maybe my new form translates taste better than the digital avatar I had."
Another back set of his magical claws glowed blue fire, and illusion Narwhal settled on his back. "So... we can move on to time magic?" She was... far less interested in the nitty gritty science/magic stuff. Mostly spent the last half day or so designing dreams that Squishy was hesitant to approve and reading pony created books inside the simulation.
Adam sighed. "Not yet, but far sooner than I expected. You might as well get comfortable because we will be importing a wide sample of spells and enchantments into Golden Garden first so that 'Research' can more accurately simulate untested or new magic first. Wouldn't want to go the wrong direction in the time dimension."
She waved a hand. "So nerd stuff. I'm going back to that Daring Do novel with the ninja pirates."
Sigh. Well, at least he had a group more willing to try converting magic into soul-science-abomination stuff now. "Right, what next?"
Nightmare Moon hummed. "I have magic that I used to merge with darkness and mist. It may destroy your soul though. Maybe even teach you some dream walking... though there are things in there that can escape if you do it wrong."
Huh. "Maybe later."
Twilight held up her hoof. "OOOH! What about a bunch of detection and analysis spells? It should help your 'Recovery' and 'Research' abilities a lot!"
Right. "Let's go with plan 'Speed things up' instead of 'New Scary Stuff' for now."
Aww, Moon's pout was adorable.
Luna was... slumpy. Eyes blurred, her hoof drifting as she slowly ate breakfast.
She coughed. "Trouble sleeping?"
Luna jerked, more awake. "Oh. Sorry, our night was... complicated."
Hmm. "I suppose our dimensional visitor was to blame. I assume you visited him last night?"

Within hours his spell casting ability was beyond improved! Hours more and illusion efficiency had gone up through the roof!
And then... TwilightAI and Twilight had brought up other illusions. Non-visual ones. True, they needed Sorcerer level enchanting abilities and spell frameworks... but now, with his advancements...
Illusion of touch. Illusion of sound. Of smell. Of taste.
Achieved, studied, improved, simplified, enhanced.
He flexed a paw, each claw of which handled a different aspect of what he needed.
Minor telekinesis to enhance to illusion of touch. Weak transformation of the air to create scent particles. Layers of visual illusion creating color, shade, reflections.
And... an apple. Simple, looked slightly damp.
Dragon appeared, Golden Garden now upgraded to be able to use his back paws as casting tools to not interfere with Adam's work. Nightmare Moon and both Twilights leaned close.
He gulped. And took a bite.
Even the juice was convincing! It wouldn't actually make one full or whatever, but this was one of the most advanced tests for illusions currently known by the magical pony community. Not surprising that it would focus on an item that all ponies would be used to and have prior experience with. He carefully watched the juice drip over the bite edge. Beautiful.
Twilight was stunned. "That... that normally takes decades of work to achieve! Even I took three months, and I didn't aim for this level of complexity!"
Adam blinked. "What about that giant spell when I arrived? And I know you've done bigger things before."
The pony of magic waved a hoof. "That was maybe two layers of spell casting and many layers of predesignated frameworks that were mostly similar. Hard, but not up to this level of discrete spells of unrelated domains!"
Nightmare Moon hummed as she took the apple from his paw. Now that it was cast, the spell was anchored on other spells and would exist without more meddling. "I am... very impressed as well. I've done more complicated illusions, but I relied on my overwhelming power to force my creations when needed. Never have I seen something use so little energy so effectively."
TwilightAI was back to work. "I still think we can reduce the spell cost by 0.54 units if we can just tie in the color illusions with the texture layers. It would simplify the spell sections that change color shades based on viewer angle as well."
Adam shrugged. "I'm happy with this level for now, it's not like I can cast any of this without storing the spell framework as a program in Golden Garden anyway."
Dragon bit into the creation. "Hmm. It tastes better than the scans of apples you made back in our world. Maybe due to magic filling in the unrecorded data? Or maybe my new form translates taste better than the digital avatar I had."
Another back set of his magical claws glowed blue fire, and illusion Narwhal settled on his back. "So... we can move on to time magic?" She was... far less interested in the nitty gritty science/magic stuff. Mostly spent the last half day or so designing dreams that Squishy was hesitant to approve and reading pony created books inside the simulation.
Adam sighed. "Not yet, but far sooner than I expected. You might as well get comfortable because we will be importing a wide sample of spells and enchantments into Golden Garden first so that 'Research' can more accurately simulate untested or new magic first. Wouldn't want to go the wrong direction in the time dimension."
She waved a hand. "So nerd stuff. I'm going back to that Daring Do novel with the ninja pirates."
Sigh. Well, at least he had a group more willing to try converting magic into soul-science-abomination stuff now. "Right, what next?"
Nightmare Moon hummed. "I have magic that I used to merge with darkness and mist. It may destroy your soul though. Maybe even teach you some dream walking... though there are things in there that can escape if you do it wrong."
Huh. "Maybe later."
Twilight held up her hoof. "OOOH! What about a bunch of detection and analysis spells? It should help your 'Recovery' and 'Research' abilities a lot!"
Right. "Let's go with plan 'Speed things up' instead of 'New Scary Stuff' for now."
Aww, Moon's pout was adorable.

So will this dragon be able to merge with the original or will she be a seperate entity, because I can se problems with both if she can merge with the original that meens she will gain the memories of the dream and that will deffenitly make this awkward, on the side of being a new seperate entity that will meen that there will be two dragons and that will probly cause problems with their love life on less they can work something out

Unless dream dragon evolves into a completely different person and agrees to take up a different name because Dragon isn't who she is anymore. who knows, by the time Adam finally comes back she might not even be in love with Armsmaster like the original Dragon is.
I can only imagine the reaction on Dragon's virtual face though when she gains a sister out of nowhere though. haha.
"Hello, Dragon. I'm your sister, Wyvern. I'm so pleased we finally got to meet face to face!"
"WTF!"

itd be a new aspect of death . there there is a giant cat know as Dream [of the feline] , and a golem know as Dream [of the rocks]

Sorry to take so long to comment on this chapter. Between a full reread and me having problems with Hotmail insisting on putting emails in Junk folder even when it's marked as not junk it took me a while to catch up. Love the story and looking forward to more.
Edit: because autocorrupt is the devil. (Fixed last sentence)

Honestly, I think I would prefer this version of Power Manipulation over the original Power Manipulation. I feel like I would just have more fun with the one charge per day aspect of it because I would have to get more out of each power, and the 'can only use one power per reality' thing would be more fun because, again, I would have to figure things out and get the most out of the powers and combinations.
