After making a bold assumption or conjecture, Edward immediately began to test it. He first connected to the Aether Core of the Tier 10 Floating City. Subsequently, he entered the Mana Sage Mode to elevate his senses to the highest possible level.
With his enhanced strength and senses, Edward cast numerous detection spells, including the new ones he created from the Naruto Universe based on the Sharingan, Byakugan, Rinnegan, and Tenseigan.
He also used Morgana''sputing power to the limit. He also gave the order to prioritize his experiment over dealing with this ne''s Universe Will.
With all these methods, he finally discovered the source of the anomaly of City 3.
"Is this essence of entities higher Tier 12 and above?" asked Morgana with confusion, awe, fear, and desire.
"Probably," replied Edward, who exhaled deeply; he also felt a lot ofplicated emotions. The cause of the city''s anomaly is the enormous creature that destroyed it.
The creature''s essence seemed to have transcended time and space, transcending causality; in other words, it was a higher dimensional creature. As such, his attack–no, his random movement–can be reversed by time.
At the very least, Edward''s level of time magic can not affect this creature''s power. The scary thing about this power is that it''s passive; the creature naturally has such an effect without any spells or techniques.
"We truly have a long way to go," muttered Morgana.
"Yes," nodded Edward. "And one day, we will reach such a level and beyond."
Edwardbeled the information he just received as the highest security level of the Empire before proceeding with the task at hand. Fixing the city will still use the same method, but he had to change a few things around.
He will still use World Source as a source of energy. However, he will not ce Time Reversal Enchantment on the city but activate its self-repair enchantment.
World Source is a magical energy or power with many capabilities. As such, the floating city can repair quickly after using it as an energy source for the enchantment.
So, Edward began to ce the necessary enchantments. The process took him a few hours. By the time he finished, the 24 hours he had given Morgana, only less than 5 hours remaining.
He wanted to spend this time flirting with Tsunade, but she was still resting. So, he used the remaining time to read a few books.
"How do you feel?"
"Much better," replied Tsunade, who used the Deep Sleep Chamberst night to properly sleep and rest.
"That''s good," nodded Edward. "Morgana, how are things on your side?"
"I have gathered a lot of data, but it''s not nearly enough," she replied while shaking her head. "The field of [Authority] is unlike any knowledge the Empire hase in contact with."
"It''s fine. I already decided to use this ne as our experiment ground," replied Edward, his tone calm but containing a bone-chilling coldness.
"What…what about the people of this world?" asked Tsuande after hesitating for a moment.
"They will be fine."
Edward had no intention of causing a mindless ughter–especially with no purpose or gain. However, his actions will cause the habitants of this ne to lose their homes.
"What information have you gathered on this ne?" he asked. As soon as he uttered these words, a few holograms floated before him while Morgana exined.
"This world is habited by two races–humans and magical beasts," said the little elf. "These two races have been fighting for millions of years, and humans are currently dominating.
"The human poption is as diverse as the Empire, with people of all ethnicities. Their culture is simr to Medieval Times, and their technology is roughly on the same level."
"What about their power system?" asked Edward.
"It''s called Beast Master."
"A taming profession?"
"No, a fusion profession. Humans hunt down magical beasts and fuse with them, acquiring their physical prowess and magical abilities."
"If that''s the case, this ne''s civilization should have a deep understanding of the Life Code, Bloodline, and even Soul Fusion,"mented Edward.
"You would think so, but no." Morgana shook her head. "Their entire power system relied on relics from a past civilization. They used magical circles, potions, and luck to fuse with magical beasts.
"The sess rate is abysmally low."
Edward frowned as he reviewed the information on the screen. He saw the process of someone fusing with a Tier 5 Beast. The most prominent faction of this ne is called the Beast Association, which provides people with potions and magical circles for fusion.
Edward saw someone attempt fusion; however, thetter lost his mind and turned into a raging monster instead. With his knowledge, he could tell the beast''s Will overwhelm the Beast Master, resulting in his failure. Furthermore, their bloodline and soul were notpatible.
The person in charge of the process remained indifferent to the person''s death; it was as if he had seen too much failure or death.
Edward watched another attempt. And this time, it was a well-dressed young man. This time, the process seeded, and Edward also knew why. The aristocrat of this world controlled meditation techniques that could increase their Soul Power, making it easier for them to overwhelm the beast''s soul during fusion.
Furthermore, they have some knowledge of bloodline and know what type of beasts are morepatible with their descendants.
"Do you have information on why this world is like this?"
"Yes," replied Morgana. "From what I gathered, this ne used to belong to the Wizard ne. It was one of their post for Bloodline Experiments,
"But, for some reason, they disappeared, abandoning this ne. Meanwhile, the habitants of this ne found their research and created this new power system."
"So, the inheritance they received was wed or iplete. Adding the fact that the aristocrats and wealthy control knowledge, they never truly develop a proper civilization and have to rely on the remains from the Wizard ne."
"That''s the best way to summarize it," nodded Morgana.
"Hmm, do we have any information on this Wizard ne?"
"From the information we received from the Starskin Race, there are six nes considered the most powerful in the Astral ne: the Titan ne, the Disaster ne, the Wizard ne, the Heavenly Dao ne, the Abyss ne, and the Alkab ne."
"The Wizard ne?" muttered Edward. "What about us?"
"We are also considered the top, but apparently, everybody hates us."
"Considering what the Magus did, it''s understandable," groaned Edward. "This ne might be more valuable than we expected if we can find the coordinate to the Wizard ne."
"I would like to remind you that the Wizard ne might have a Tier 11 Wizard and more than one. So, be cautious."
"I''m aware. But since they are destined to be our enemies, it''s a good thing to learn of their whereabouts. It would be even better if we could secretly infiltrate their ranks."
"True."
"We can gather the relics of the Wizard ne and use them to cast Karma Spell to detect their ne Coordinate. The only issue is whether our attempt would be detected."
"The chances of being detected are very high, ording to my calctions," said Morgana. "There are too many risks, so I rmend we don''t do this."
Edward frowned, thinking whether there was a solution.
"There is an easier way," suddenly said Tsunade, drawing attention to her.
"Oh, do you have an idea?"
"Such a powerful world will not worry about ne invasion since they are the invaders. As such, they won''t spend much time trying to hide their world''s coordinates. As long as we look around, for example, the Abyss ne you previously mentioned, we might find the coordinates of all these six nes."
"She might be right,"mented Morgana. "These top nes should have dealt with each other for many years, so they likely knew each other''s coordinates.
"As for other nes? Maybe they needed to hide when the Magus Race was in power. But now, who dares to invade them."
"Send a message to Hermione and ask her if she can find the coordinates of these worlds."
