"So far, we have not concluded whether this plane has a Tier 11 God. But now, we know there are other planes," said Edward with a frown. He suddenly felt uncomfortable. He had a leisurely life since he knew he could survive in this world with his floating city.
But now, he suddenly learned there are many people more powerful than him. And the thought they could appear out of nowhere and destroy everything he worked for frustrated him.
"Morgana, what are our chances of pushing the floating city to Tier 11?"
"Almost zero," replied the elf without any hesitation. "According to our simulations, Tier 11 should be able to use the power of their variants across the Multiverse. So, they are essentially millions of Tier 10 combined into one."
Edward grunted, but the little elf was not finished.
"Our knowledge and technology have not even reached the peak of Tier 10. And if you take into consideration resources, we are not close to Tier 11 technology."
Edward's frown deepened, "We need to accelerate our study of the multiverse. Increase the spending on this departnt."
"Yes, but we are temporarily unable to do so."
Edward then rembered they offended so type of force after plundering the multiverse without any restraint when creating the Tier 10 Floating City. As such, they are currently stuck in this tiline.
"I guess we have to take things slowly," muttered Edward, shaking his head in disappointnt. He knew it was pointless to hurry. Regardless, the worst-case scenario after eting a Tier 11 Entity is to enter the Void and abandon everything he previously created.
"Order all royal family mbers and people from the Illuminati and their families to leave a part of their Soul Fla in the floating city. In case sothing happens, the city can escape on its own and use the fla to revive us."
"What if they don't want to? After all, Soul Fla is very important." Morgana was not worried about the royal family, but certain mbers of the Illuminati might not wish to.
"Explain the reason. But ultimately, it is their choice."
"As you wish."
Edward stood up, preparing to deal with the plane and fix the city. He saw Tsuande giving him a weird look, so he asked, "What is it?"
"I knew you were careful, but I didn't think it was to this extent."
"In this cruel world, I have to be careful. You saw what I did to that plane. Such a thing might happen to the Empire at any ti, so I have to prepare for the worst-case scenario."
"I see. It must be tiring."
"Everything has a price. I wanted power and knowledge, so I must bare the weight of my ambitions," replied Edward. "Anyway, you will be in charge of the Ninja's integration into the Empire. Rember, the information revealed to the public is these people are from a special dinsion recently discovered."
"I understand."
"You don't have to worry. Soone will teach you things like etiquette, political and military strategy, and magical studies. You won't have to do anything until you're prepared.
"I've already reserved a Ti Acceleration Room for you, along with potions to deal with the Kairos Poison. You can choose whether to continue the path of Chakra or Mana. Or, you can try both."
"I understand. Thank you."
Edward kissed her on the forehead before heading to another room.
"Little elf, I've been aning to na my city. Any suggestions?" he asked.
"You must have a na. Why don't you tell , and I will comnt."
"What about Netheril?"
"The Forgotten Realms Universe?" muttered Morgana. "According to your theory, the Path of Arcane might have originated from this place. And the Netheril Empire was probably the first to create a floating city throughout the entire Void. So, such a na fits."
"I think so too," nodded Edward. His floating city was the first in the Empire, so he thought it was fitting to call it Netheril.
"Send an email to the related people about this na change."
"Is this really necessary?"
"Yes. Only this way will it feel like it was official."
The purple-haired elf shook her head before executing the command. anwhile, Edward proceeded with his plan to fix the damaged floating city. He stripped the Beast Master Plane of their World Source and used it as a powerful energy source to activate the self-healing enchantnts he placed on the city.
And after two days, the city was returned to its peak state.
"World Source is a magical type of power," Edward comnted after seeing the final result.
"Its multipurpose capabilities are even greater than Divine Energy," added Morgana.
"How much is left?"
"We only use a quarter. What do you want to use with the rest?"
"Take a small part for people to break their Soul Limit and leave the rest for study," replied Edward.
"What about this plane? What do you want to do with it?"
"We can do so many things. First, after mining all the resources of this plane, we should be able to create three Tier 9 Floating City. Secondly, create a team to study the [Authority] of the entire plane. We also need to study the Universe Will."
"I will deploy the golem to build the cities. However, you have to add so of the finishing touches."
"Who was the one who finished the other three cities?" He only created one and was not present for the other two.
"Nicholas Flaming and his majesty, Rowena."
"Call them once it's ti. And if she asks why I was not called, lie for ."
Morgana gave him a fierce stare before changing the topic.
"Back to the topic, studying [Authority] is not simple. There are few Arcanists who reach the standard. However, there is still the issue of trusting them."
"Find the right target and tell them in advance they will have to sign the most stringent contracts for this project. We will only select the ones who accept."
"That's fine."
"What about the study of the Universe Will?"
"After the previous voyage, I already assembled a team for this project."
Edward rembered he tasked her with this project after coming back from Black Clover. The Universe WIll is the key for him to beco a perfect Tier 11 Arcanist, so he placed great emphasis on this project.
"That's good. Anything else?"
"I would like to remind you that the Empire's economy is still affected by Netheril's creation. Although we can recuperate with the resources brought from this voyage, we won't return to our peak state for a while."
"I see. Luckily, things should drastically improve after we conquer this galaxy, " Edward comnted. "In the anti, I will send my clones to study the Mana Grid."
As long as he can control the Mana Grid, the issue of resources should be dealt with.
"What is my next itinerary?"
"You have lunch with your family before eting with Commander Olivier to deal with the war."
Edward nodded before eting with his mother and father. Then, he went to see Susan and his aunt, Alia. Finally, he t with Olivier.
"No, not now. We are in the war room," said Olivier, stopping his advance for a kiss.
"But there is no one here."
"It doesn't matter."
"But I miss you–imnsely."
"Tonight, we can have a wild night. But now, you have to control yourself."
"Fine," said Edward, sitting on his seat.
"What is the situation?"
"Hermione succeeded in controlling a layer of the Abyss. We now have control of a few demonic legions."
"A few?"
"Apparently, she needs to refine a special brand before becoming an Abyss Lord. And the process is not yet complete, limiting the number of troops she can control."
Edward knew that certain magical artifacts needed to be "refined," a process where the holder branded their Soul Imprint into the item, making them its sole owner and controller. However, this process usually takes ti.
"The overall situation has returned to its stable state as we slowly confront and wear out Guzznad forces while secretly weakening other forces," continued Oliver. "The integration of the undead is also proceeding smoothly with Wiz's help."
"So, I don't need to do anything."
"Not quite right. We need your help dealing with the remaining top factions of this galaxy."
"Oh, is there a new developnt?"
"Yes, with both the elves and the Intelligens. However, our current focus is on the latter."
