Now that he had a plan and everything was set up, Edward prepared to act and get things done as soon as possible. After all, the situation of the war was changing every minute, and the slightest delay could be catastrophic.
So, he mobilized the energy from the main Aether Core, gathering power on par with Tier 10. Then, under Edward's control, seven magic circles appeared above this plane in different locations.
As soon as these seven circles appeared in the sky, seven mighty auras manifested and flew to the sky, gazing at these circles.
"The 7 Beast Emperors," muttered Edward. This plane had 7 Tier 9 Beast Masters, and they were known as the Beast Emperors. The Emperors were associated with five Empires, with the Cortez and Naoru Empires each having 2 Emperors.
Inside the city, Edward watched as these Emperors morphed into half-beast and half-human shapes. And based on his data, he recognized some of these creatures, including Titan Ape, Blue Dragon, and Feathered Serpent. However, he also did not recognize the rest, an indication they originated from this plane or somewhere else the Wizard Planes once controlled.
After the Emperors showed up, they released their most powerful Bloodline Spell, trying to destroy Edward's magic circles. However, he did not care about their pointless struggles. Instead, he focused on another discovery he had made.
This world drastically restricted the destructive capabilities of these Beast Emperors. As Tier 9 Powerhouses, they should have the ability to destroy galaxies with a single attack.
However, their destructive capabilities did not reach such a scale in this plane; there was a plane that severely suppressed the potency of their attack.
'The size of this plane is equal to 15 galaxies from home. If the Universe Will did not suppress the power of these Beast Emperors, they would easily destroy the world with the slightest confrontation.'
Edward understood this method was the way lower or weaker planes functioned to ensure their survival. He could foresee that some Universe Will will even prevent people from reaching the limit of the plane.
In other words, a plane with a Tier 8 Limit would never allow anyone to reach such a level. The best they can accomplish is Tier 7; this method would prevent anyone from having the power to destroy the plane.
'The instinct of all life is to survive. And it's the same for Universe Wills,' concluded Edward before continuing his actions. With the overwhelming energy of the Floating City, he swiftly sealed the Beast Emperors without giving them any chance of resisting.
Then, he cast a second spell. Hundreds of magic circles appeared in the sky above this plane.
"Boss, we don't have room for everything," reminded Morgana.
"Huh? You're right. Alright, I'll shrink them.'' Under his control, some of the magic runes changed.
"The first step–seal the Universe Will."
Based on Edward's study of the Universe Will of four different Universes, he concluded it is another form of consciousness or will. And this consciousness even has certain properties of the soul.
As such, it became possible to design seals or other methods to influence it. And with the vast difference in Tier, the process was almost perfect.
After being sealed, all the creatures of this plane heard a sad and unwilling voice. And immediately, an intense emotion awakened from deep in their souls. Then, they knew their world was invaded and about to be destroyed.
Subsequently, an intense hatred aroused from deep in their bloodline against the invader.
"This might be troublesome," commented Morgana after detecting the situation.
"What are we going to do?" asked Tsunade, who feared the change in the situation would result in catastrophe for the people on this plane.
"We will have to take longer to integrate these people into the Empire. We will delete and change their memories if needed."
"Do you want me to keep a watch on them after their integration?"
"Yes," nodded Edward. "We don't know whether this effect will last longer and stay hidden deep in their subconscious for many years."
Morgana took notes of this incident while Edward continued. His spells activated, and a few things occurred. First, all the trillions of people in this plane passed out before shrinking into humans the height of a tennis ball.
Then, he teleported all of them to a pocket dimension inside the floating city, placing them into cryostasis mode.
"Next, the Knowledge Tree."
Edward took this opportunity to test out his main objective for traveling to the Naruto Universe.
Then, a towering tree appeared at the very center of the plane. Then, after an hour, the tree gave birth to a single blue fruit.
Edward held the fruit in his hand with fascination. He knew this fruit contained thousands of years of knowledge from this plane.
"Here you go," he uttered before handing it to Morgana. If he eats this fruit, he will have to spend the next three months in deep meditation to absorb all the information it contains. As such, the best method of use is to allow Morgana to have it.
With her processing power, she can absorb everything in a matter of minutes.
"How is it?" asked Edward. However, the little elf did not immediately answer; she even had a frown on her face.
"I think I found a flaw in the fruit."
"Oh? What is it?"
"It can only gather knowledge up to one million years in the past."
"Is that so? Well, we can try to modify it later and improve the time span," nodded Edward. "Did you learn anything useful?"
"I've learned about their history," replied Morgana. "About a million years ago, the Wizard Plane had already left, and the world was ruled by the beasts–it was their era.
"During that period, the main power system was Wizards and Bloodline Knights. However, the beasts almost wiped out the heritage of this system.
"Then, everything changed after the first Beast Master appeared. The profession originated from the laboratory of a few Wizards from ancient times. They slowly rose before becoming the aspect predators of this world."
Edward nodded, "Anything else?"
"Yes. Although the Beast Master's civilization has reached its end, there is some benefit."
There are currently no Tier 9 Beasts in this plane, so the path to higher levels is cut off for most individuals in this world; that's why she said their civilization had reached the end.
The humans have almost driven the magical beasts to extinction. And without the Bloodline Knowledge and Technology of the Wizard World, this plane cannot cultivate higher Tier beasts.
"The fruit contained data on every single Beast Master's fusion since a million years ago. All this data will allow us to further our understanding of the Life Code, the changes to the soul, and even the Soul Flame.
"We can also gather data on Willpower since it's one of the requirements for a successful fusion."
"Do we have any information on the Wizard's power system?"
"Unfortunately, no."
'Oh? Logically speaking, we should at least have some basic data."
"True. But some power of cause and effect seems to prevent me from accessing the information."
"Cause and Effect? Could these wizards place some powerful spell on their power systems to prevent others from getting it?"
"If that were the case, the people of this plane would never get their hands on it as well," added Tsunade.
"Unless this spell is targeting us specifically.
"The Empire? We don't have any connection with the Wizard Plane."
"No, their target should be people from the Cosmic Plane World," replied Edward.
"It could also be people with bloodline from the Magus Race," added Morgana. Earthlings have a small trace of Magus Bloodline, so her conjecture could be correct.
"Alright, we need to leave in case some mighty being from the Wizard Plane detects something," said Edward, who no longer hesitated. He previously wanted to fix the city in this plane. But now, he decided to be cautious.
So, he placed the entire plane inside the floating city and removed all traces of his existence from this place before returning home.
