609. [2008]

“See if you can now locate Netheril?” Edward asked.

“Got it.” Morgana took a moment while frowning. “Found it.”

A screen appeared before Edward, and his eyes immediately squinted. “Is that?”

“I’m afraid so.”

Edward grunted. “This is far from good news.”

“What should we do now?”

“I’ll need a concrete plan to have a slight chance at capturing it back. By the way, would it be more cost-effective just to abandon it and build a ...

608. Morgana's Small Upgrade

Edward calmly looked at the departing Loki, deep in thought. From what he knows, after Loki Season 2, Loki transitioned from the God of Mischief to the God of Stories, gaining the power to twist the infinite Multiverse into a tree similar to Yggdrasil. Such a feat or power is a minimum perfect Tier 11 and maybe even Tier 12.

The Loki variants are still independent, meaning Loki skipped Tier 11,’ Edward thought. ‘For now, his strength is not important. I’m more concerned about his ...

607. Harsh Training (Finale)

Loki looked at the sorcerer before him. “What’s the meaning of this?”

“This is Sorcerer Badook, a master of hand-to-hand combat,” Edward explained calmly. “He is your opponent.”

“Do you think I’m so weak that a mortal sorcerer can defeat me?” Loki felt truly insulted. Yes, he was nowhere near Edward’s level, but compared to the rest of Midgard, he was a true god.

“The rules are no magic or spell. You can choose a weapon over there,” Edward continued...

606. Harsh Training (III)

Edward led Loki to an empty room. “First, you need to choose a path or expertise.”

“What do you mean?”

“You have a long lifespan, enough time to study many subjects. However, picking a subject as your primary focus is still in your best interest.”

“What’s your expertise?”

“Space-time, Death, and Elemental Magic.”

“Can I choose those?”

“Yes, but I recommend you don’t,” Edward replied. “The best-suited path for you is Illusio...

605. Harsh Training (II)

“Well?”

“I don’t know. I don’t know what to think,” Loki replied. All this information was too much for him to process.

“Tell me your first instinct — your first thought.”

“That…I caused everything. If not for my selfish actions, maybe Mother could have been saved. Father would not have died so early before Thor was prepared for the throne. I’m the reason Thor finally stopped trying to reach out — why Asgard was destroyed.”

“You’re givin...

604. Harsh Training (I)

Edward explained the plan to Odin and Frigga, and with their acceptance, he started. The first step was to refine a potion to deal with Odin’s faith poison. The poison was already too deep, so it was impossible to remove it completely, so Edward went for the option of gathering most of it in one spot before removing that body part.

He did not waste time as he started his work. Odin granted him access to Asgardian resources since he needed to modify the potion formula to fit this world...

603. To Do List

Major news spread throughout Asgard. Thor, their favorite prince, and possibly future ruler, was exiled. Apparently, the Allfather tested him through a powerful illusion. Not only did the prince fail the test, but he refused to learn any lessons even though his actions during the test could have caused catastrophic damage to Asgard if it were real.

So, the king sealed his power and banished him to Midgard to teach him humility and responsibility. Only once he’s learned his lessons can...

602. New Trainee

“This is not something I can agree on the spot,” Odin explained.

“That’s understandable, and you can take your time, but be mindful of a reasonable timeline,” Edward nodded.

“What else do you suggest we do to prepare?” Frigga asked.

“My plan is very simple and straightforward: become powerful. So, you do whatever is necessary to increase Asgard’s military prowess, train Thor to truly develop his potential, and increase your allies,” Edward explained. “H...

601. Treatment

“It seems you came up with a plan. Why don’t you tell us what’s on your mind?” said Odin.

“I’ll speak freely,” nodded Edward. “The plan is actually straightforward: train enough powerful fighters to face the upcoming universes and dimensions. In simpler terms, both of you cannot die, and not only can you not die, you must also become more powerful.”

“That is not as easy as it sounds,” Odin replied.

“How so?” In most of the futures he saw, this famil...

600. Breakfast Talk

Loki could not sleep that night. He had always been envious of his father’s better treatment of his brother, and deep down, he always wanted to best him in battles. He would then gain the praise and worship of his people, and with the increase in popularity, he would have an easier path to one day becoming king.

Sadly, he had to admit he had no chance in a fair fight with his brother without tricks. Adding his people’s love for warriors and slight disdain for magic, he believed he ...

599. Asgardian Prince

“What do you think?” Odin asked as they walked toward their sleeping chambers.

“My eyes could not see much, so he should be very adept at Anti-Divination and Clairvoyance,” said Freya. Witches raised her, so she learned to see things that others could not.

“So, what did you see?”

“He’s like a walking Demon God.”

“What do you mean?”

“His body contained its own dimension and was full of energy. So, confrontation with him would be like facing...

598. Ambassador

“Master Makana, have you found out what this is?” asked King T’Chaka to the current leading scientist of Wakanda, an older gentleman with deep eyes and a somber face.

“It is a unique crystal that uses nanostructures to enclose and regulate light,” Makana said in a slow cadence. “With its ability to regulate photoconductivity, our development of quantum computers will be accelerated by hundreds of years.”

“So, it’s valuable?”

“Very.”

“Valuable ...

597. Allies

Ancient One’s Quarters:

Wong knocked on the door and only entered after hearing her voice. “Wong, what can I do for you?” Wong hesitated momentarily, “Are you sure he’s trustworthy?”

“I thought we had this conversation before.”

“All I’m saying is he’s from a different dimension and has not been insensitive to protect ours.” The Ancient One once had this reservation as well. However, in the future he saw with Edward, he never left for his own dimens...

596. Dark Kamar Taj

After learning about the future and the limited time available, Edward knew it would be impossible to train countless new sorcerers using the same system as back home. Although the Tier System is powerful, it also takes time and a lot of resources. So, he opted for a better solution.

The Sorcerers in this world focus more on skills. If someone is talented or skilled enough and has the right resources (i.e., dimension or energy), they can achieve Tier 10 feats or even higher. So, he cre...

595. The New Kamar Taj (II)

A portal appeared behind Edward, and the sorcerers followed him. They found themselves in a large, dimly lit room. However, no one cared about the room’s ambiance, as their attention was immediately drawn to a towering gate before them with symbols and runes engraved on it. It was beautiful, majestic. All the sorcerers could not remove their eyes from the gate.

“What is this?” asked a sorcerer.

“This is the Gate of Truth,” said Edward in a calm voice. “I created this f...

594. The New Kamar Taj (I)

All the sorcerers looked at each other. This was not something they could easily accept. They spent most of their lives under the teachings of being disciplined, morally upright and respecting the laws of nature. However, today, their leader told them they must throw away these ideals and codes that some of them spent decades living by.

“I know this is difficult to accept,” continued Edward. “So, you have three days to decide. If you feel this is unacceptable, you can leave Kamar ...

593. New Sorcerer Supreme

“So, what is the plan?” asked the Ancient One.

“I have a few ideas, but I need a few days to plan everything out,” grunted Edward, caressing his head. “Beforehand, you must prepare to hand over the Sorcerer Supreme position in about three months.”

“That seems a little fast, but alright. Anything specific you want me to do?”

“First, show the others that you are mentoring me personally. Second, after a month, release a rumor that I’m the next Sorcerer Supre...

592. The Future

“Get up.”

Edward opened his eyes, “You must be Mordo. The Ancient One talked about you.”

“Likewise.”

“Oh, what did she say?”

“She claims she found a natural prodigy of the mystic art.”

“You don’t sound convinced,” said Edward, standing up from the small bed.

“Your abilities have yet to be known or tested,” Mordo explained calmly. “Please change into the appropriate uniform. I’ll wait outside.”

‘I forgot how rigid ...

591. Demon Gods

Edward checked his account on the Akashic Record and learned he had received a message from Merlin. He was slightly surprised but guessed why, so he played. A projection of Merlin appeared before him, and he said: “Hey, boy, looking good.”

“I’m doing okay,” replied Merlin.

“No need to be polite.”

“If I boast, you’ll just beat my ego down, so what else can I say?” Edward shrugged.

“True,” chuckled Merlin. “By the way, this is a voice recording;...

590. Strength Testing

A complicated rune appeared before Edward as he tried to find Malakai’s dimension for a second round. His petty self would never allow such a humiliation to go by.

“How long have you been awake?”

“Three years?”

“What? It’s been so long? I promised the Ancient One I would return after a month.”

“She came by two years ago,” said Morgana. “I told her you were in the middle of something, and she was very understanding.”

“That’s good to hea...

589. Tier 10

The steps involving achieving Soul Divinity were to use the [Knowledge Ring] around the soul flame as a carrier for his Willpower and rules before fusing it with the soul. Edward already had experience in the fusion, but he still needed trial and error to nourish Willpower and rules.

So, he first started with his Willpower. The study of Haki has greatly increased the development and understanding of willpower throughout the Empire, so the process was easier than anticipated. Edward fini...

588. Breaking the Soul Limit

“This is the oath stone, linked directly to the Cosmos,” said the Ancient One. “You only need to hold it and make the oath.”

Edward held the stone and looked at it. “The Universe Will? No, it is an entity that represents the cosmos. So, Eternity is the one binding the contract.”

“You seem to know a lot.”

“I’m curious, and I’ve lived a long life—well, compared to humans,” Edward explained casually. After knowing how this thing worked, he had no issue...

587. Noor Energy

Now that he was alone with his thoughts, Edward found himself at a crossroads, his decision to accept the Ancient One’s offer looming large. The gravity of the situation was not lost on him, and he leaned towards acceptance for many reasons.

First, Earth is the center of most events in this world, and if he were banned, it would be very challenging for him to gain any benefits. Second, the position has benefits, such as the Time Stone and the Supreme Sorcerer Title.

Yet, the mos...

586. Offer

Edward looked in the direction of the voice and saw a beautiful woman behind a glass. He immediately felt she looked familiar, but his mind and memory were still a little chaotic, making it harder for him to recognize.

‘If I remember correctly, she’s Aisha, the great-grandmother of Kamala Khan, who became Ms. Marvels. How did I get in contact with her?’ thought Edward.

“Who are you?” asked Edward, slowly rising. His body was fine, but he had a slight headache.

“S...

585. Luck Backlash

Fate Edward took the first gem and said: “This is the last Primordial Runes from Odin.”

“Something tells me it was not easy to acquire.”

“You’re right. That bastard is cunning, and I had to pay a lot to get it. Did you know he wanted me to marry into his family?”

“Does he even have a daughter?”

“Many, all illegitimate.”

“That makes sense,” nodded Edward. Fate Edward took out the second gem, “This one contains a deeper analysis of the F...

584. Inheritor

After reaching the moon, Edward began observing and analyzing. From what he remembered from the Nasuverse, the moon was a supercomputer called the Moon Cell created by an alien civilization with a database on par with the Root. However, after analyzing the thing, he discovered it was a regular moon.

“It seems I have to reach another timeline,” he muttered before leaving, returning to Tohsaka’s mansion.

“You’re back already?” asked Tohsaka. He said goodbye to them an ho...

583. Primordial Runes' Secret

Void:

Edward, who focused on creating the Speed Force and upgrading Morgana’s processors, suddenly stopped as he received a message from the Akashic Records.

“Did something happen?” asked the little elf, so Edward explained as he opened the mail.

“Not just one but two messages?” thought Edward.

[Dear Sir Edward Bones.]

[Thank you for succeeding in the hidden mission: Creating a True Magic.]

[Reward: 3 Invitations of your choosing to become members...

582. The Sixth True Magic

After figuring out his next step, Edward started to ponder how to create the Sixth True Magic and what kind it should be. After considering a few ideas, a thought suddenly popped into his mind:

“I can try to do something based on Morgana,” he muttered; he missed the little elf: her constant chatter, weird personality, and how easy she made his life.

‘My real body is already improving her main processor by fusing it with the Speed Force. Maybe my research here could help the ...

581. Akasha's True Motive

Flame enveloped Gilgamesh, and he evaporated. Edward calmly saved the Clairvoyant Eyes before quickly stepping out of the Reality Marble.

“You won?” asked Tohsaka.

“Of course,” said Edward with a smile. “You said you wanted to see the floating city? This is your chance.”

“Really?”

“Hurry up, we don’t have much time.” Keeping the Reality Marble functioning takes a lot of mana, and his current avatar cannot do so for very long. Edward looked at Illy...

580. Fatal Flaw

Edward floated in the air with Ea before him. He was enclosed in a box, and his body looked strange, often showing double; it was as if time was rapidly moving. He opened his eyes at dawn and exhaled before the sun fully set.

“The real Ea should involve certain [Authorities], which complicates things given Akasha’s existence.” He did not know much about the use of [Authorities] or rules in this universe, but he knew even if his natural body was here, he could not use his rules. 2024-02-25 17:39:25 +0000 UTC View Post
