A few minutes after Edward left:
Three people dressed in all-black magic robes appeared. The aura of these people was deep, and they were all Tier 10.
"Is this the correct coordinate?" asked Arza, the only woman of the three. She had flaming red hair and a voluptuous body, but no one dared look at her. Her eyes were cold, and she emanated a fiery aura that could incinerate anything in its path.
"Yes," replied Eli, a man with snake pupils and green hair.
"But there is nothing here."
"That's obvious."
Arza glared at him, and her agitated emotion made the surrounding emptiness fluctuate. However, Eli ignored her.
"I sense the remains of spatial energy," said Myria, an elf with blood eyes. "Someone must have taken away this plane."
"The God of Space?" asked Eli.
"No, not him."
"If it's not him, who could it be? The Guardians would not leave the Cosmic Faith Plane?" added Arza. Their Wizard Plane cannot easily enter the Cosmic Faith Plane for three reasons:
First, there are still some methods left from the Magus Race to protect the entire plane. Second is their fear of the Magus Race and whether they are still alive or hiding in the shadows.
Lastly, the Cosmic Faith Plane is not a weak plane, as there are multiple Tier 10 Gods. Of course, with the power of the Wizard Plane and even the top planes, they don't care about the power of that plane. However, they don't want to lose too much strength in the process of their conquering.
The Gods from Cosmic God Faith have many advantages and use them to their advantage. The entire Astral Realm is now their enemy, but the Gods can still prosper because of these advantages.
The Wizard Plane had a special squad designated to hunt down these Gods and learn more secrets from them. However, these Gods are cunning and not easy to catch.
So, they left many planes as bait for the gods. As long as they enter and meet the criteria, they will activate the Cause and Effect Spell of the Wizard Plane and reveal their location.
"I've dealt with the God of Space before. His control of Space Authority is not as refined as whoever took this plane."
If Myria were not extremely sensitive to energy, he would not have detected the subtle energy left in this place. Such manipulation of space authority is not something the God of Space could do–unless he drastically increased since he last met him.
"Are you saying there is someone in the Cosmic Faith Plane with even better control of Space Authority than the God of Space? Asked Eli.
"Yes."
"Are you sure the God of Space did not improve?" asked Arza.
"This is possible," replied Myria. "However, to have such great improvement, he would have to conquer another Tier 10 Universe or have some other encounter I am not aware of."
"Could it be that another power has risen? Or is someone trying to take away the Space Authority?" uttered Eli.
"Both possible."
"Either way, it's a new variable. So, let's report to the Elders of the Truth Council," said Arza, her eyes containing reverence, fear, and desires when mentioning these Elders.
"Can you detect any information?"
Myria shook his head. "The person was clean and efficient in cleaning up their trace. If they were not in a hurry, I guess I probably won't even detect the spatial energy."
"Having such a competent Tier 10 God is not a good thing for us," commented Eli.
"No matter how competent that person is, it does not change the fact they will forever be ants before the Elders," rebutted Arza.
"But what if they reach the level of Truth?" asked Eli. Tier 11 Wizard is referred to As Truth Wizard, and they are the only ones capable of seating in the position of Elders in the Council.
"It has been so long, and only the Guardians came close to that level but still failed," said Arza with a sneer. "Those Gods are nothing but waste."
Arza felt resentment after mentioning these Gods.
Before the rise of the Magus Race, Tier 10 was the limit of all power systems and planes. However, during their rise, while fighting the invasions of the Magus Race, these powerful races learned and created methods to reach Tier 11.
Unfortunately, their methods were flawed, resulting in a limited number of Tier 11 Entities in each of these top planes. Even the Abyss Plane, the largest plane in the Astral Realm, has a limited number of places to reach Tier 11.
And the only exception to this rule is the Cosmic Faith Plane.
This fact is the source of Arza's resentment. With her talent and ability, as long as she has the opportunity, she can become a Truth Wizard.
"There is no need to be resentful," said Eli calmly. "Sooner or later, we will conquer their plane, destroy all these gods, and reach the level of Truth."
For the first time in a long time, Arza felt this guy Eli was pleasing to the eye. So, she gave him an approving nod and did not care for the latter's cold response.
Meanwhile, Myria was the calmness of the three.
'Are things that simple? The existence of the Magus has brought fear to the Elders, preventing their advancements for billions of years. They have removed their fear, but will things proceed smoothly?'
The disappearance of the Magus Race is one of the greatest mysteries of the Astral Realm. However, after a bit of logical reasoning and some information, it's not hard to deduce why they disappeared:
Tier 12.
The Magus Race conquered the Astral Realm for one purpose–to gather the knowledge and resources of all planes to transcend the Astral Realm and reach higher Tiers.
Their disappearance showed one thing–they succeeded, and their entire civilization transcended the Astral Realm and left this universe. The Magus Race valued the collective since they knew it was the best way to develop knowledge, technology, and culture. So, it would not be hard to take everybody and leave.
Many people concluded this outcome. Of course, there are a few people who believe something else. They believed the Magus Race did some forbidden experiment and encountered a Tier 12 Entity that wiped out their entire civilization.
Unfortunately, a few relics discovered so far showed the Magus Race was preparing for a widespread migration. The migration came suddenly and was swift and decisive.
Furthermore, the higher-ups of the Magus Race did not allow anyone to stay.
"Do you think we should notify the other planes of this news?" asked Eli.
"We might need them in our conquest, so revealing such information might not be a big deal," replied Arza. The Wizard Plane wanted the Cosmic Faith Plane for themselves, and it was the same for the other top six planes. Unfortunately, none of them dare to deal with it alone.
And it's not only because of the fear of the Magus Race but also because they don't want to lose too much in the process and give the other planes the opportunity to further weaken them.
"There is no point in debating this question since the council will decide such a thing," said Myria.
"True."
"Anyway, let's leave and report the situation. We don't want any variable to appear."
The group disappeared and returned to the Wizard Plane.
Cosmic Faith Plane:
Edward's floating city returned to the Empire, and he exhaled in relief.
"Are you alright? You seem scared?" asked Tsuande.
"My Cosmic Awareness activated, and I sense a great danger," replied Edward. "If I guess correctly, some powerful people from the Wizard Plane should have arrived after we left."
"Master, did you see something?" Morgana asked since she knew her boss' Cosmic Awareness could show him certain visions from the source of the danger.
"I only saw three vague figures. However, they were not the sources of the danger. It seems that something or someone else would show up after them."
"With the city, we don't have to worry about Tier 10 since we can run away if we cannot win. So, if there is danger, that can only mean one thing," said Morgana.
"Tier 11."
