With the others empowering him, Edward was able to cast a universal-scale mory-wiping and strength-sealing spell, ensuring there would be no problem. Of course, there was still a major issue with this plan—they could do nothing to the other Tier 10 powerhouses in their tilines. As such, they could only monitor these beings for the ti being.
"This is more than a disaster — this is The disaster," Odin complained.
"The world is really trying to force us to kill each other," Frigga sighed.
"Now is not the ti to lant our situation," the Ancient One stated. "Sealing these people's strength may not be the best plan."
"What do you suggest we do?" King T'Chaka asked.
"We teach them how to control this strength so they can be prepared for the real event."
"And how do you suggest we do such a thing?" As soon as T'Chaka asked, he and everyone else had an answer. They turned to look at the tired Edward, who was caressing his temple. He groaned softly.
"I'll build a Dream World that takes these people's spirit into a battle-training world. When the ti cos, we can remove the seal, and they'll rember their training and know how to control their strength."
"As reliable as ever," the Ancient One praised.
"If you need anything, don't be afraid to ask," Odin stated.
"Although Wakanda cannot provide much help, we're willing to offer our services as well."
"I will ask if I need it," Edward responded. The eting ended soon afterward, and Edward exhaled: "I'm going to need a vacation soon."
"I agree. I don't think I've seen you this stressed out," Morgana stated.
"The worst part is this is just the beginning," Edward complained. Once he survives this world, he has to deal with the Ti Ga, and after that, he might be directly jumped into rlin's Omniversal War. His future looks bleak from an objective point of view.
"We'll talk about the vacation later, but for now, let's focus on the tasks at hand," Morgana said. "You don't have to worry too much about the Dream World. I can build that myself; you only need to review the blueprint and maybe put so final touches on it.
"Your current priority should be increasing your strength and Project Scarlet Wizard."
"I know. So, let's—" Edward stopped himself as he received a communication call from the Ti Force.
"Ra? Did sothing happen?"
"We detected another dinsional anomaly similar to the ones from New York."
Edward squinted his eyes: "Where?"
"The moon," Ra replied, and Morgana imdiately took action, showing a screen of the moon. A hidden civilization lived peacefully on the moon; they looked as if they had always been there.
"The Inhumans," Edward muttered. After the first convergence he tested, the Defenders appeared in this tiline, but this ti, it was another group—the Inhumans. In so ways, surviving these convergences seems to strengthen this tiline.
"What should we do?" Morgana asked.
"We'll deal with them later," Edward said. He went to his magic tower and continued working on the Scarlet Wizard. After weaving the clone's mory, he left a Ti Crystal with his Ti Law for him before dropping the clone close to the temple where the Darkhold was located.
…
"Where am I?" The Scarlet Wizard asked himself. He looked at his injured body, but his mind was groggy, preventing him from knowing how he got here and why he was so severely injured.
"I rember. I'm a sorcerer trying to revive my family. I learned of the Darkhold and wanted to use its power, but it was destroyed. I needed a Ti Crystal to summon it from the river of ti and had to steal it from a sorcerer in another dinsion."
The Scarlet Wizard quickly checked his neck and found the crystal hanging on a necklace. "What a relief. It's still here." He had to open a portal ho, and sothing went wrong in the process, hence his injury. He opened a portal and took out sothing.
"Good. The Soul Stone is still there."
The Scarlet Wizard then took a potion from the portal and drank it, alleviating his injuries. "It seems I'm close to Mount Wundagore. Excellent." He soon reached his destination, and as expected, the Darkhold engraved in the walls was gone. He did not hesitate to use the Ti Crystal.
A red hue emanated from his fingers to enter the green crystal. Then, under his control, the engravings in the temple rapidly reverted to their original state. However, it did not take long before the murals quickly reverted to their destroyed state.
'Whoever cast the spell that erased the Darkhold is truly powerful,' the Scarlet Wizard thought. I must enclave this temple in a ti bubble to isolate that power's influence.' He accessed even more power from the Chaos Dinsion using the power of the Ti Crystal. This approach worked, as he successfully recreated the Darkhold.
The Scarlet Wizard did not hesitate to engrave the magic in the murals into a new book — a new Darkhold. Then, he lost himself in the knowledge contained inside. Of course, Edward — who was behind the scene — also received all the knowledge of the Darkhold.
A few weeks passed, and the Scarlet Wizard successfully mastered all the knowledge in the Darkhold. He looked at his fingers, which were now dark. He sighed. Despite his early preparations, he was still corrupted by the Darkhold. However, this was not enough to stop him.
'Whoever destroyed this thing erased all copies of this book from the multiverse,' he thought. 'Now, if I want to revive my family, I must gather soul energy from the soul stone from the entire multiverse.'
The Scarlet Wizard summoned the Soul Stone before starting to cast the sa spell that Wanda from Earth-616 used to eliminate the Darkhold, but he modified it to suit his purpose.
A bright golden crystal of soul energy rapidly ford before the Scarlet Wizard as he drew energy from Soul Stones across the multiverse. The process took him more than 10 minutes, and he almost passed out by the end. However, the result was more than satisfactory as he looked at the golden crystal.
"Excellent. The first step is completed." The Scarlet Wizard raised his hand to put these things away, but sothing happened before he succeeded. A portal appeared beside him, showing an angry-faced sorcerer with a long beard.
"You!" The Scarlet Wizard was shocked.
"You think you can steal from and get away with it?" said the bearded sorcerer before pulling him into the portal.
"No," scread the Scarlet Wizard, trying to take away the crystal and soul stone as he was dragged into another dinsion. Sadly, he was too weak in his current state to resist, so he was captured, and the dinsion portal disappeared. Less than five seconds later, Edward teleported to this temple and took the crystal and soul stone.
"With this thing, we should be able to achieve Soul Divinity," he comnted.
"Are you sure it was a good thing to get rid of him? He's technically a Tier 11 clone," Morgana asked.
"The creator of the Darkhold, Chthon, will definitely notice soone reviving his knowledge. Furthermore, I still believe he's after the Scarlet Witch, aning he'll beco interested in the clone. Now, he's a liability, and he's lucky I allowed him to reincarnate into another tiline instead of eliminating him," Edward calmly explained.
