There are 2 different multiverses that are next to each other. One that is made simply of Code and Data, being made by the Game Creators, used for entertainment by the Players, and are managed by the Out-Codes, as well as any being that has gained t...
But Error404 threatened Error to train him, and he was forced to oblige, which made Gradient happy. Error trained Gradient to control people with the blue strings, cause pain with the red strings, and since he has a pair of black strings that are similar to the pink strings, also trained him on that as well, not to mention being able to open portals, in which Gradient used his stylus to open glitchy portals.
But Gradient...he was forced to do terrible things. He had to take over as both the protector and the destroyer, and had to become a servant to the Creators, which is not what he had in mind. But since they needed his help in saving as much of the universes as he can, he does what he needs to do, as he than used his Stylus and opened small glitchy portals, and take the stacks of paper that Ink has now made inside of the Doodle Sphere, and puts them in a dimension that he has made called the Digital Sphere.

It is similar in design to the Doodle Sphere, except that this place is on a constant stage of Destruction and Recreation. He brought the universes, such as Underswap, Underfell, Outertale, Epictale, Horrortale, Dusttale, Swapfell, Fellswap, Storyshift, Altertale, and even the original Undertale. He brought them to the Digital Sphere, and turned the papers into Digital Art versions of the paper it once used to be, just to fit inside of the Digital Sphere. But...that is the only good part. The rest of the position that he is in, is bad, because he has to destroy universes, in order to maintain the balance of the Multiverse, and this includes with killing and destroying people. Which breaks his heart. He does bring other people to the Omega Timeline, in order to preserve the last remains of the Alternate Universes, but he is forced to destroy them and Error404 will visit the AUs that he is destroying, in order to take their code in order to rebuild the AU that he had lost. And with every universes that he has destroyed, with every life that he had taken, Gradient felt himself being torn apart from the inside, and he has even cried in a number of occasions, at the regret of what he had done, and what he is forced to do, all in an effort to try and preserve the Balance of the Multiverse on his end, which he is disgusted at himself for what he had to do immensely.

But than...the biggest blow on his mind is when he is facing off against one of the creatures that made Ink the way that he is, and he accidentally absorbed the Multiverse's code, to make himself a transformation that allowed him, along with Error404 in a transformation, to destroy the creature. But in the process, because of the fact that Gradient stayed in that form for way too long, and the fact that his body is not that strong enough, he had died from what had just happened. But the creature, seeing Gradient as a perfect vessel to hitch a ride on, used its remaining power to graft itself into the soul of Gradient, removing 50 percent of the damaged soul, and filled that removed damaged area with a piece of its own soul, by an equal amount. This made eyes appear on the left arm of Gradient, and gave him the power to fly and devour AUs in order to make himself much more stronger than ever before, but forever did it change him, as he now became an entirely different person.
