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...
Now a shadow of his former self, he has become cold and ruthless, stern and determined, as well as very loyal in his mentor/superior's goals, and is now far more willing to kill and destroy universes, and while remorseful, he does not show it on his face, and instead, he acts very indifferent towards it.

He no longer smiled in 2 years, though thanks to Error404, he is now able to act manipulative by changing the tone of his voices and trying to make an attempt to smile with no success at all, except when around the people that he cares about, though he still seals away his old self. Gradient had recruited Spilled Ink, his younger brother, into the Digital Sphere, and instructed him on what he needed help on, and explains the situation to him. And when Spilled Ink saw his father, he was utterly horrified at what he'd become. Though Gradient tries all that he can to prevent his Half-Brother, BlueScreen from getting involved in this situation. He even altered his clothes a little bit, as he replaced his lost left sleeve with a white sleeve with eyes that look the same as his, but in a more human-like shape, as well as having stitched the bottom part of his torn jacket with the same white merited that reaches down to his ankles with red strings. The rest of the clothing is still the same as it always has been, except that it is damaged, with the scarf around his waist appearing to be a bit more longer that it looks like, used to be as short as when he was similar to his original counterpart. But it was this protective behavior is what allowed an entity named Omnipotent Sans to I trust him with the Book of Eyes, as well as the fact that, on his own words 'you had some inner goddess within yourself.'
He even managed to gained a Palette Roller for himself. During a fight between Hollow!Ink, and a version of Dream Sans called Dead!Dream, their battle was so immense and great that the pieces of their magic and residue of their attacks combined to make a version of Palette Roller, which Gradient has named Dead!Palette Roller. Gradient was able to find Dead!Palette and had to escape with him before things could get out of hand. When Dead!Palette was first born, he took on the form of a similar height to that of the Original Palette Roller, though he is slightly taller, and is at the age of a 20 year old. But he has a crown similar to Dead!Dream, and has a purple captain hat, with a purple hooded jacket similar to Dead!Dream's, but his pants are different, as they are in the appearance of 2 layers, though it is actually just a single pair of pants that looks like that, with a zipper on each pair, and had eyes that are of the same appearance to Dead!Dream, being that of a purple star with 4 points, and that sort of star is also present as a large Ink Blot on the right side of his cheek, and has a purple scarf that reaches down in between the distance of both the knees and the ankles. But since he has not been taught anything, and having both parents finding out Dead!Palette would be a disaster that is just waiting to happen, Gradient decides to do what his father had done when he was his original self, and raised Dead!Palette, teaching him how to be creative, using his powers, and even was able to describe the powers that he had inherited from Dead!Dream. Dead!Palette Roller was curious about his parents, and asked if he knew about them, and Gradient admits that he does, but is not sure if he can handle the truth, that is until he had became mature mentally. And he did, and Gradient told him everything that he knew, in which it made Dead!Palette unhappy with what he had heard, but he still loved his older half-brother, and decides to use his powers to help him as much as he can. Because of this, he is one of Gradient's most reliable brothers, but tries to make sure Dead!Palette does not fight against his father, as it is the last thing that he needs, and is something that he is willing to do against Ink, though it pains him immensely, as even after all Ink had done, he still loved his father for having taken care of him when he had no one else to turn to.
