550. Time Vortex

“So, what is the plan?” asked the Doctor after entering the Tardis. Now that he was in his home court, he felt more relieved.

“First, you have to show us how you travel through time. Our technology cannot adapt to this place, and we cannot use forceful means.”

“Alright, anywhere specific?”

“Ancient Greek,” said Edward casually. The Doctor immediately began to press buttons and move things around. However, the Tardis immediately began to shake uncontrollably.<...

549. Conversation With The Doctor

“You know me?” asked the 11th Doctor.

“At this point, is there anyone who doesn’t really know you?” asked Edward.

“Am I this renowned? I did not know this,” he replied while fixing his bow tie with a slightly smug look on his face.

“Pay attention; we are in the enemy’s territory,” said the woman. “ I told you this might be a trap, but you didn’t listen.”

“If we didn’t come, how would we know whether it was a trap or someone needing help.�...

548. Fourth Great Voyage

[Short Chapter]

—--

After the planar expansion ordeal, Edward had little to do before his voyage. He went to check on the research on the Quantum Realm while also visiting the Savant Race. The people both loved and hated him.

The knowledge they acquired in the past few years made me sleep with a grin. Unfortunately, the tedious negotiation often ruined their happiness.

Afterward, Edward checked on the Bones Council. Things were proceeding smoothly, with relatively no...

547. Planar Expansion

After the intense events that was the election, the people thought they would enter a time of great peace, with nothing as grandiose as that event. They thought the most exciting news coming to the Empire was things like cleaning up Planet Dark Star and getting rid of crime or news about corruption and degradation in the Empire’s council.

However, more than a month later, another major news spread like wildfire–the discovery of the Astral Realm. The existence of other planes opened ...

546. Soul Limit Methods

“So close,” muttered Edward after finishing reading Chris’ paper on the link between the Soul Flame and the human’s subconscious. Over the years, he has developed a few methods to deal with the Soul Flame Limit.

For example, Divine Energy. He created an enchantment that converted mana into Divine Energy. However, this method was flawed, requiring a medium, primarily Divine Blood. Although he only needs a few milliliters as the medium.

He had Guzznad’s body as an experime...

545. Will Tempering Method

Edward soon arrived at Chris’s lab, which had been waiting for him since he sent prior notification of his arrival.

“Chris, how are things?”

“Very well, Your Majesty.”

“It seems married life suits you well. How about? Consider having more than one wife?” joked Edward.

“I don’t want to turn into a mental patient that has gone crazy,” swiftly replied Chris. Who was his wife? The Chief of the National Bureau of Mental Health, one of the best Tier 8 Spi...

544. Government Affairs

The entire election lasted more than a month, so Edward was relieved when the ordeal ended. He wanted to celebrate with his family, but even his mother and father had left, traveling to another universe for a vacation despite how much he protested against it.

Ultimately, he had to accept his family had a life of their own, and he could not control them. So, he turned into an obsessive protective freak and created countless measures for his mother and father in case something happened to...

543. Hundred Year Anniversary (II)

Edward stood before a large stadium full of more than a million people. At every corner of this stadium were numerous enchantments in charge of broadcasting today’s event to every corner of the Empire’s territory.

The people attending the ceremony included the most powerful and accomplished arcanists, scientists, engineers, wealthy individuals, and politicians.

There was no podium before Edward as he only held a cane with his family member behind him. Without being nervous, he...

542. Hundred Year Anniversary (I)

Edward held a document containing all the Savant Race’s knowledge about previous Time Games. He had to pay a hefty price for this document, to the point he no longer felt bad for what his ambassador was about to say to him.

He exhaled once he finished, “It’s really just a game for him to learn more.”

His eyes twinkled as he summarized many things about the Elder God named Cosmus. For example, in recent games, the latter was more ruthless in his approach while also more lai...

541. Exchange

“Don’t worry, I will show you that your choice was wise,” said Edward with a smile. He pointed to the side, and a magical circle appeared. The Great Elder looked with interest as he had never seen such a magic system:

“If the Great Elder would do me the honor?”

Cori briefly looked at the magic circle before saying, “Why not?”

Without hesitation, he walked inside. Soon, the three found themselves in another space.

“Welcome to the Grand Arcane Library,”...

540. Time Game

“Time Game?”

“Yes,” nodded Cori. “The Space Elder God is ambitious yet capable. He knew that anyone who successfully broke the laws of the space-time continuum was talented or lucky in some way. So, he devised a method to use their knowledge for his own.”

The great elder paused as he swirled the drink on his glass; it was probably wine, but the dark purple color was somewhat eerie.

“He created the Time Game to give these Time Criminals a way to escape imprisonm...

539. Time Guardian

Edward followed the group to the nearest city. He was in a daze throughout the journey, feeling a heavy weight lifted from his shoulder. Although finding the Savant Race did not guarantee he could deal with the Time Guardians, he felt much better just by knowing about his enemy.

After arriving at their destination, Luna separated from the group after compensating them and reuniting with Edward. The two began to visit this city, fact-checking much of the information Krovik provided them....

538. The Savant Race

Edward and Luna walked out of the floating city, observing their surroundings. This place was obviously a strange world: There were nine suns in the sky, and upon closer observation, Edward was pretty sure they were living creatures.

The two took a moment to take samples of the floral and fauna, marveling at the wonder of this strange realm.

“So, do you have any clue?” asked Edward. Sadly, Luna shook her head, “This place contained too much information.”

“What do y...

537. Hidden World

The original Diviner who made this prophecy was a unique race apparently born from the concept of fate itself. After seeing the description, Edward could not help but think of the concept of Innate Creatures from the Xianxia stories he used to read.

‘If I remember correctly, the Elder Gods from my plane are also Innate Creatures that Cronai created at the beginning of the universe to help her stabilize the world. So, is this diviner an Elder God from some unknown plane?’

There...

536. Myriad Codex Plane

Edward soon arrived at his destination. He looked into the screen before him, which showed him what the outside of this plane looked like. There were countless ships of different sizes and shapes parking outside. A platform floated in the void served as the entrance.

“It really is a public library,” muttered Edward. If the Abyss Realm is the ultimate place for commerce and exchange in the Astral Realm, then the Myriad Codex Plane is a public library with important knowledge, but not...

535. Coordinate

[Short Chapter]

—--

Edward was not surprised by this information. After learning the Savant Race was part of the Akashic Record, making it impossible to get information about them, he also theorized the Magus Race was the same. His theory is they came into contact with the Akashic Record even before leaving the Astral Realm.

Edward’s theory went as far as the Akashic Record was one of the main reasons the Magus Race transcended their universe. This race who pursued knowl...

534. Follow Up

Edward first examined the cube. He did not have the proper equipment with him at the Council, but it was different now. He used all the pieces of equipment available in the Empire to unravel the mystery of this cube. Unfortunately, the final result was less than satisfactory.

In the final analysis, he reverse-engineered the material for the cube, and he could not bypass the core technology. The anti-theft technology of the cube contained Primordial Runes that cannot be remembered or rec...

533. Farewell

“I will give you my last act of kindness,” said Edward, looking directly into Charles’ eyes. “Do you know who the most threatened being on this planet is?”

Charles immediately frowned after hearing the question. The obvious answer was Voldemort or someone like Dumbledore or Grindelwald. However, based on the latter's tone, he knew they could not be the answer, so he shook his head.

“It’s Herpo the Foul.”

“The Greek Wizard who invented the Horcrux?”

...

532. Desired Secrets

Edward understood Charles’ situation after a quick analysis. One of the bloodlines he fused with was the Thunderbird, which had the ability to predict danger. However, this was insufficient information to know what happened to his agent.

Without hesitation, he activated one of the rings on his finger. An illusory image manifested behind him.

“A floating city,” yelled Phoebe, who quickly covered her mouth as she realized the situation. However, she could not help it. His fath...

531. Uninvited Guest

Edward left the secret base, heading directly to the palace located in France. He wondered why Charles chose that location. Maybe he was French back on Earth before his reincarnation.

On his way, he took a deeper look at this Magic Empire. The magic system they used was vastly different from his Empire. To reach Tier 1, the practice method is used by all wizards to break the first limiter.

Afterward, they will use a Mana Potion created by Charles after studying the Philosopher’s...

530. Charles Wentworth's Rise (II)

After Voldemort’s death, Charles began his rise to power. However, he did not walk a path similar to Voldemort and Grindelwald, blatantly gathering followers to do his bidding. No, he followed a more official path.

He ran for the Minister of Magic in the British Wizarding World. With his strength and status as a hero who participated in Voldemort’s downfall, his reputation was at an all-time high.

Dumbledore was suspicious of Charles–especially since he came out of nowhere; ...

529. Charles Wentworth's Rise (I)

The document revealed everything Charles did after arriving on this timeline during the Marauder Era. Lily, James, Potter, and Snape were only in the fifth year, and Voldemort was rampaging worldwide, gathering followers.

After arriving at this timeline, Charles had many things to do, the first of which was to learn magic. Due to Edward’s contract, he forgot everything he learned from the Empire, including basic knowledge about Wandcraft Magic.

So, Charles’s first order of bus...

528. Check-Up

He looked at the token, observing every detail. It was a simple token made of an unknown material with two characters engraved on the front. There was no sign of enchantment; however, the density of this material was extremely high.

Edward used a divination spell to translate the unknown character, and the result was simple: Astral Library.

“Finally found a clue,” muttered Edward as he used a Multidimensional Communication Spell, contacting Luna back home.

“How is the ...

527. Clue

Edward could effortlessly deal with the curse; after all, he had mastered the Rule of Curse. However, he did not want to reveal all his capabilities to the council easily. Furthermore, G-334 seemed to be one of his variants who inherited great luck, so he wanted to make friends with the latter.

If he easily solved his problem, the latter might not feel as indebted to him. So, he needed to put on a show that he exerted great effort before solving his problem.

Edward told him to wai...

526. The End of the Meeting

After signing the contract, the council’s atmosphere drastically changed. The president showed his willingness to compromise and ensure things proceeded smoothly, so these arrogant people were more willing to cooperate and compromise.

“Our next course of action is to set up the departments that govern the council, starting with Law Enforcement.”

Edward did not believe these people would follow the rules if they did not have to. Furthermore, he also knew the contract did no...

525. [Self] Database

Edward tapped his finger on his desk, removing the Anti-Magic or Sealing Domain he released. The variants sighed in relief, but their eyes conveyed that they wanted nothing more than to kill him. He ignored them and continued:

“What is the most valuable aspect of the Council?” asked Edward, but he did not give anyone time to answer. “Is it sharing our knowledge or information? Or the exchange of resources? No, it’s our individual mind.”

His voice could reach everyone in ...

524. The President's First Order of Business

“We will reconvene three days later for our first order of business,” declared Edward. He made this decision for multiple reasons. Firstly, he wanted to give these prideful people some time to accept the result.

Secondly, he wanted to see whether some people would cause trouble. If they did, he would not hesitate to annihilate them as a display of power and show his majesty. Lastly, Edward had some things to do and check before the assembly.

Everyone dispersed, returning to th...

523. The Election (Finale)

(AN: Someone made a great comment on the last chapter, reminding me that it was bad for Edward to show his variant research on Void Energy since it could accelerate the speed at which they enter the void and achieve Omniversal Travel. As such, I am retconning the chapter, and he showed them Luna’s research on Divination. I recommend reading the last paragraphs of the chapter.)

—--

“How do you want to fight?” asked Edward. “Do you want to use Virtual Reality, or can I cre...

522. The Election (IV)

C-137 stood up with a slight smug look on the corner of his face. He chose this formula for myriad reasons. Firstly, it’s one of his highest achievements, combining the knowledge of many civilizations.

Secondly, space-time magic was something even his variants found difficult despite their outrageous talents. Additionally, not all of them specialize in Space-Time Magic, so he made the citadel tests to determine whether someone has developed Multiverse Travel.

He needed to route ...

521. The Election (III)

Everyone immediately began the process of analyzing this magical formula. The room was spacious, but everyone felt it was not enough. So, some people asked C-137 if they could return to their rooms and use their equipment to better analyze the formula.

A vote was made, and people agreed they could leave the area as long as they did not leave the citadel. Furthermore, they must return before the allocated time for this test.

Meanwhile, the nine main variants at the center of the st...
