Chapter 449: Back Up Arrives
“Master, you should not be too greedy,” said Morgana. “It’s more than enough that we can have an extra Mana Pool. Plus, we haven’t even completed the Mana Circles.”
They only had 4 Mana Circles and needed to create the other 6. Well, since Edward was currently only Tier 8, he only needed the other 4 for now.
“The solution to our problem is simple–technology,” said Edward.
“Before we departed, the Empire succeeded in creating a small Artificial Soul Dimension.” After Edward’s first voyage, the Empire acquired the technology to create dimensions of various sizes. And since then, he has acquired and developed even more dimension-related technology.
However, the Soul Dimension that all creatures with a soul have is unique and was not easy to create.
“Because of how small the dimension was, it cannot be used to store much mana. However, the Mana Circles are a perfect replacement.”
“That’s exactly what I’m thinking.”
“The only problem is the current technology is not even available to the public. And even if it was, few people could afford it,” continued Morgana. “However, as we perfect the technology, it should become more common.”
“When we get back, tell the relevant department to search for a plane similar to the Dream World–but with the Soul.”
“A plane composed entirely of Soul Strength?” Morgana’s eyes lit up. The Dream Plane had no matter, and everything was made of Dream Energy.
“If there is a Soul Plane, then the Empire’s Soul Technology will enter a state of rapid improvement. However, would such a place exist?”
“I don’t know, but there are a few ways to find out,” replied Edward. “We can go to the Abyss and ask. If such a plane exists, it should be very famous and sought after by many people.
“If we can’t find any information, we will use divination, luck, and Karma to search for it. And if all that does not work, we will ask the Akashic Records and pay whatever price is necessary.”
“I like your thoroughness,” said the little elf with a cheeky smile.
Edward ignored her before looking at Lee Kyuk, “Do you have the inheritance of your magic system before the Samsara Hall optimized it?”
“Y…Yes.” Lee Kyuk did a mission on that world, so he ensured to acquire a complete inheritance of that world. He also did not want to rely entirely on the Samsara Hall in case he escaped one day.
So, he handed Edward a book thicker than a dictionary, and he silently watched as the latter read it, becoming focused and lost reading it.
Meanwhile, Set was quiet during the entire conversation, observing and learning. In this brief interaction, he understood the Legendary Arcanist was a once-in-a-generation genius like Albert Einstein.
And he was not referring to the latter’s IQ, intelligence, or talent–he saw Edward as the kind of genius not imprisoned by any Mode of Thinking.
For hundreds of years, Newtonian Physics dominated the world of physics, making many scientists believe space and time were absolute. Then, Einstein came and broke that mode of thinking by creating his Theory of Relativity.
Geniuses like Einstein not only have the capability to understand complex and esoteric theories, concepts, and mathematical formulas. But they see the world in ways other people cannot; their way of thinking is never restrained, full of imagination and inspiration.
Set realized Edward was such a genius when it came to magic.
‘Even if I increase my magical talent, I might not reach his level.’ Set knew he could increase his talent with the Samsara Hall. However, this would only allow him to better understand magic theories, control energy, or have better soul strength than others.
However, when faced with problems in research or thinking of ways to solve certain issues, he will face the problem of his Mode of Thinking.
‘I don’t need to be him. But I can learn from his actions.’ Set already had a plan. High Tier reincarnators can buy worlds and use them as their main base. Previously, he had thought of buying a world as his base and even contemplated setting it in the World of Warcraft.
‘But I can follow in his footsteps. Conquer the world of Harry Potter and create an Empire. Spread magic and gather talented individuals to research knowledge for me.’
Set could see the benefit of having an entire world working for him. Using this method, his magical journey will be smoother.
‘It’s decided.’
More than an hour later, Edward finished his reading.
“The system is indeed different,” commented Morgana. The book contained 9 Nine Magic Circles, but even the first one was different from Lee Kyuk’s.
“The resonance between the Magic Circles is no longer to create Mana Fissions but to allow the Caster to control mana in the environment to increase their spell powers.
“Basically, this system included a Sorcerer Technique into it.”
“Even with the Sorcerer Technique, the original version’s highest power is only Tier 6. However, the Samsara Hall’s updated version removed the caster’s dependence on the environment, allowing them to have a potent destructive power on their own.
“Not to mention, the ceiling of this system should be Tier 10 or higher.”
Edward pondered for a moment, “How long will it take you to deduce the following circles?”
“I can deduce the fifth and sixth circles in less than a week. However, the seventh should take more than 5 years, and the eighth more than 10 years. And that’s a low estimate. After all, we have too little data.”
“That’s too long,” said Edward with a frown. “We will add the 8th circle to our list of cheating. And if it doesn’t work, we will try to exchange it with the Akashic Record.”
“What’s with the hurry?” Five and Ten years were nothing to their current near-immortal self.
“I want to have some assurance before I confront Guzznad. I don’t want anything unexpected to happen.”
“How did I forget about your paranoia?”
“Remind me to cut your pay when we return,” said Edward and Morgan showed her tongue at him. The group then continued their study of Lee Kyuk’s system, trying to learn more from him. And it was the same for Set’s Arcane Magic.
Then, two days passed.
Edward went to see the group again.
“Have you decided?” he asked.
“Yes,” responded Set without hesitation. Meanwhile, the others did not say anything directly. Instead, they glanced at Tobias through the side of their eyes.
“Sir, if you could give us a little more time to decide,” said Tobias as he bowed deeply. Edward glanced at him, and he knew what he was thinking.
From Hernandez, he knew these reincarnators’ mission was to survive for three days. So, he guessed the Purple Robe Daoist would make a move in those three days.
And this group wanted to know how he would deal with the upcoming trouble. After all, they have not seen Edward display any strength. They knew he was powerful and of high Tier.
However, the Samsara Hall had many Tier 8 Reincarnators and many who were quite brilliant. So, what if he lost to one of them? No, many of them should attack simultaneously, so he might lose because of the lack of manpower.
The Samsara Hall has already changed the core values and beliefs of these people–they only respect the strong. So far, Edward has only shown he is knowledgeable and capable, but not that he is strong.
“I understand,” he said, making their heart skip a beat. “You have until tomorrow.”
“They are here,” said Morgana, who suddenly appeared.
“Oh? Show me.”
A screen appeared before him, showing the atmosphere outside of the planet. There were many ships and a few people–many with an energy level on par with him and Shibai.
“Interesting,” he muttered. “Were these people fighting against the Otsutsuki?”
“Most likely, since I did not detect anyone entering this timeline.” Morgana was in charge of monitoring any movement to the Void Shield surrounding this timeline.
“I thought the Samsara Hall would only be interested in the Shinobi World since that’s where the destiny of this universe gathers.”
“It could be that Boruto’s settings will one day reach the home world of the Otsutsuki,” analyzed Morgana.
“True. Well, let’s go receive our guests.”
