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's computing power to the limit. He also gave the order to prioritize his experiment over dealing with this plane'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 of complicated 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."
Edward labeled 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 place 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 place 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 Chamber last 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 has come in contact with."
"It's fine. I already decided to use this plane 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 slaughter–especially with no purpose or gain. However, his actions will cause the habitants of this plane to lose their homes.
"What information have you gathered on this plane?" he asked. As soon as he uttered these words, a few holograms floated before him while Morgana explained.
"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 population is as diverse as the Empire, with people of all ethnicities. Their culture is similar 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 plane's civilization should have a deep understanding of the Life Code, Bloodline, and even Soul Fusion," commented 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 success 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 plane is called the Beast Association, which provides people with potions and magical circles for fusion.
Edward saw someone attempt fusion; however, the latter 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 not compatible.
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 succeeded, 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 more compatible with their descendants.
"Do you have information on why this world is like this?"
"Yes," replied Morgana. "From what I gathered, this plane used to belong to the Wizard Plane. It was one of their post for Bloodline Experiments,
"But, for some reason, they disappeared, abandoning this plane. Meanwhile, the habitants of this plane found their research and created this new power system."
"So, the inheritance they received was flawed or incomplete. 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 Plane."
"That's the best way to summarize it," nodded Morgana.
"Hmm, do we have any information on this Wizard Plane?"
"From the information we received from the Starskin Race, there are six planes considered the most powerful in the Astral Plane: the Titan Plane, the Disaster Plane, the Wizard Plane, the Heavenly Dao Plane, the Abyss Plane, and the Alkabula Plane."
"The Wizard Plane?" 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 plane might be more valuable than we expected if we can find the coordinate to the Wizard Plane."
"I would like to remind you that the Wizard Plane 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 Plane and use them to cast Karma Spell to detect their Plane Coordinate. The only issue is whether our attempt would be detected."
"The chances of being detected are very high, according to my calculations," said Morgana. "There are too many risks, so I recommend 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 plane 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 Plane you previously mentioned, we might find the coordinates of all these six planes."
"She might be right," commented Morgana. "These top planes should have dealt with each other for many years, so they likely knew each other's coordinates.
"As for other planes? 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."
