In the end, Herpo decided to wait and see.
After making a decision, he secretly sighed. His long years of imprisonment have made him very patient, at the same time, it also removed his risk-taking ability. So, he stopped looking at Edward and cut off the latter's connection to this dimension.
Meanwhile, Edward sneered after seeing this. With a wave of his thought, the gate that was in invisible mode behind him disappeared. If Herpo dared to leave the Afterlife and attack him, a major surprise was awaiting him.
After his recent voyage and confrontation with Truth, he no longer feared Herpo as much as he previously did. Although he still respected his opponent's strength, he still has many ways to deal.
And with this newfound confidence, he did not want to just kill Herpo. No, he had bolder plans for the fate of this Death God. After all, according to the information he knows, Herpo managed to instantly become a Tier 8 God from a Tier 3 Wizard.
Edward is very interested in his method. Over the years, he studied the Ceremony Magic that Herpo used to become a God. However, he did not place that much emphasis on it.
Now, he decided to change that.
'He should be a very interesting experimental material.'
Edward then headed to his laboratory in the Bermuda Triangle. As soon as he entered, he saw a shadow rush towards him with rapid speed. He raised his hand.
Bang!
A large thumping small echoed in the room, followed by a small shockwave that blew the chairs and tables in the surrounding away. Edward looked at the fist that he blocked, smiled before saying:
"So, you guys already practiced Aura and reached Tier 4?"
"Yes. Do you see how strong I am?" said Luna. "I can probably wrestle with a dragon. That's actually a good idea, I will try later," she mumbled to herself by the end of that sentence.
"Alright, let's test your shield."
He raised his hand and a rune appeared. However, this one was not large as usual, but small enough to fit his palm. In an instant, an ax made of lightning appeared on his hand and he swung it down without hesitation.
A transparent shield appeared to protect Luna, however, the force of the attack still made her take a few steps back. She and Edward both nodded in satisfaction.
One of the two abilities that Tier 4 Arcanists will acquire is a Protective Shield that will instantly protect them when in danger. The shield is connected to their mana and does not have to be actively used by them.
After a few tests, Edward knew that only by using Liquid Mana to become Tier 4 would this ability be granted. If someone just increases the amount of mana inside their body to reach Tier 4, there is no such benefit.
Another ability of Tier 4 Arcanists is the passive ability to fly. They do not have to use spells to fly, they can do so just by instinct.
Edward checked and see if there were any hidden injuries on Luna from his attack, and after seeing that she was fine, he was relieved. Then, he said:
"I need you to perform Anti-Divination Spell on Albion and the Water Dragon King."
Although Edward has already removed the traces of these two dragons, he knew how powerful some diviners can be. So, he wanted to be prepared just in case.
Luna was confused by the sudden request, so Edward explained the situation to her. Knowing the severity of the situation, she immediately started to do so.
Meanwhile, Edward entered another room where all his other wives were–including Olivier who recently woke up from her slumber. He walked to Hermione who was holding a very thin tablet, looking at some data.
"How is she?" he asked.
"Everything so far is fine. Her body and soul have adapted to this world, and so far, we have not found anything strange."
"Anything else?"
Hermione paused for a moment, then said: "After doing some test, I have discovered that she has a really poor talent for magic."
"What level?" asked Edward.
"Even lower than Level 1."
The Empire has divided magic talent into 5 categories, with one being the lowest. According to research, Level 1 talent has no chance to break the First Limiter in their lives.
Essentially, these people will forever remain as Tier 0 Apprentices.
When it came to wizards, the amount of mana that their bodies produce is terribly slow and it is very difficult to control their mana. When it came to mages, they could barely sense mana in the environment, let alone control it.
Of course, with a large number of resources, it should still be possible to forcibly push them to Tier 3, but Tier 4 requires talent and deep understanding of magic and runes, and control of mana. So, it is impossible for them to advance.
After hearing Oliver's low talent, Edward was not surprised. Back in her homeworld, with the Armstrong family's wealth and strength, it should be easy for Olivier to become an Alchemist.
And with her desire for strength, she should not reject becoming an alchemist, yet, she did not. This only shows that she had a terrible talent for controlling energy–even with the aid of the Gate of Truth.
Of course, Edward also knew she was talented in other aspects. He looked at the worried Olivier and gave her an assuring smile.
"You do not have to worry about your talent. Severus has been studying a potion to increase talent using Dragon Heart as an ingredient. Once he is successful, I will have him brew one for you with the Water Dragon King."
"That's indeed a good way to deal with the situation," said Hermione.
"Once the potion is created, I can foresee that many dragons will be killed," commented Bellatrix, and many people agreed with her.
"Not necessarily, " replied Edward. "Dragons are creatures with powerful regenerative ability. After harvesting their hearts, as long we provide them with enough mana, they can regrow it.
"So, in the future, Dragon Hearts, along with their scales, blood, muscles, and even bones can be renewable resources. We are civilized people, so there is no need to act like barbarians and hunt these creatures to extinction."
The others rolled their eyes after hearing this. What kind of civilized person used the body of another creature as a renewable material. Ignoring these people, Edward looked at Olivier and asked: "Remember what I taught you?"
"You mean the way to control the life force in my body?"
Edward nodded. He knew that Oliver was bad at controlling external energy, but was a prodigy at controlling internal energy. Plus, her body could absorb life force at an alarming rate.
This is the reason that she was such a strong fighter back in her world, able to fight the homunculus Sloth who was physically enhanced beyond human limits.
So, Edward theorized that she might be a genius in the path of [Aura Master]. Now, he was going to test this out. He placed his finger on her forehead and the information on how to combine mana with life force to create Aura.
"Understand?"
Oliver nodded her head. Then, Edward had her recreate her Gate of Truth to aid her in controlling her internal energy. Finally, he had Morgana inject mana inside her body.
After following the method Edward gave her, it did not take long for her to create the first string of mana. After that, she was on a roll.
"I was right," muttered Edward. The speed that she created Aura was a few times faster than him.

A few hours later, Olivier finished the transition into an [Aura Master]. As she felt the powerful energy inside her body, she was momentarily fascinated. Her physical stats has drastically increased in just a short few hours.
She controlled the aura to travel to her legs, then jumped in the air. To her surprise, she managed to reach more than 10 meters. Her highest record before was 4 meters.
After landing, Oliver suddenly caught the sword that Edward tossed to her, then she began to practice. She was so fast that after-image could be seen of her swinging her sword.
During the practice, Oliver remembered the last tough battle she had; it was against the homunculus, Sloth. Back then, she had to use the help of her brother, Izumi Curtis, and her husband to become victorious.
Now, she could cut off his head with one swing of her sword. Once done, Oliver smiled in satisfaction; she felt powerful. However, after turning her head, she saw all the people in the room looking at her calmly.
Immediately, Oliver calmed down. Previously, she could not feel it but now, she sensed the massive amount of aura inside all these people's bodies. On top of that, she could feel that the aura was slowly increasing without them doing anything.
She understood that this was because the mana inside their cores was automatically combining with their life force.
'Is that the reason Edward wanted me to become an Arcanist?'
Olivier was partly correct. One of the reasons he wanted her to have mana was to make it easier for her to train in Aura. Another reason was the fact that aura was still a new and underdeveloped field. Edward wanted her to have the ability to deal with different situations, and magic was perfect for that.
At least until Aura is further developed.
Knowing that she was currently the weakest member of this harem, she immediately removed the satisfaction she felt. The road ahead was long and arduous.
Meanwhile, Edward nodded; he was satisfied with Olivier's talent as an [Aura Master]. He could foresee that she will be a great asset in developing it.
"I will give you a Philosopher's Stone made of life force, that way, it will be faster for your aura to grow. When you become a Tier 5 Aura Arcanists, you can fuse with two stones: one of mana and the other of life force."
Oliver's eyes lit up after hearing this. Over the past few days, she has been reviewing common knowledge and information about the Empire. So, she knew the benefit of fusing with these two cores.
Edward looked at Rowena and said: "Are you busy with any projects?"
"No, I have some time."
"Then please design a Gravity Room for her and us to train."
"Gravity Room? You want to use the power of gravity to train the body just like the novels?"
"Yes. Aura is essentially a type of energy that is closely related to the physical body. The stronger the body, the more aura that can be created, and the faster it strengthens the body, thus turning into a loop.
"So, a Gravity Room is a great way to accelerate the training of aura."
Rowena nodded in agreement. Creating such a thing was actually quite easy for her as Gravity Enchantments already existed. She just needs to modify it a bit and do a few tests.
As for her other research project, with the new Arcane Rune Magic, she could foresee that she will make rapid progress very soon. However, she still needed some time to learn this new form of magic and master it.
So, in the meantime, she could work in the Gravity Room.
"What about you? Working in any project?" asked Edward to Hermione.
"No. After the Mages' Magic Core was stabilized, I have nothing new."
"In that case, I have something for you."
Edward then showed her the previous research that he and Rowena did on Herpo's Ceremonial Magic, asking Hermione to study it.
"You can work together with Bella."
Hermione nodded her head before looking at Bellatrix, smiled gently while slightly squinting her eyes:
"Bella, I've never seen your research. So, I wonder what your abilities are?"
"Granger, do you have something you want to say? If so, be direct."
"No, I'm just curious."
"If you want to know what I'm working on, ask our husband."
Hermione snorted silently. If Edward was willing to tell her, did she have to ask someone else?
Meanwhile, Edward pretended that he did not hear any of these two's arguments. He looked at Oliver and asked: "Do you want me to announce your status before or after entering the military?"
"Do it after," she replied. Oliver has been thinking about this issue for quite some time now, but she finally decided after arriving in this world.
"Good. According to what my aunt said, in a year or two, the Empire will begin its first Intergalactic War. During this time, you can use your strength to gain a decent position and train a group of loyal men.
"Once the war begins, I will send you at the center of it. Gather as much merit as possible to climb the ranks. That way, once you become the Commander of the Imperial Navy and your status is revealed, no one can complain."
Edward also had other plans for Olivier. If he managed to reach the Akashic Record, he should be able to use it to travel to other worlds. And at that time, he will be able to choose what world to go to instead of being random.
He plans to send Oliver to the Star Trek Universe for her to attend Starfleet Academy and learn how to be a proper commander. If possible, he will send her to different universes to learn how to properly lead space fleets and conduct intergalactic war.
"What about your brother and family? Have they decided what to do?"
"My brother said that he did not want to join the military again; he was tired of all the killing. My sister is very interested in magic, so she wants to go to school. As for my parents, they are still in the adjustment period."
"That's fine. They can take their time. As for you, train well so that you can stand out in the army and upcoming war," replied Edward.
"Has someone been chosen for this war?" asked Rowena.
"We have a few candidates, but nothing has been set in stone yet. We have to make sure that the opponent is strong enough to train our troops, but not too strong so that things do not go out of control.
"After all, this our first galactic war. Although we have conducted many theories and practice in the Virtual World, we have zero real experience."
Rowena nodded her head before asking him: "What about you? What are you going to do?"
"Me? I'm going to take a small vacation and wait for the Symposium. Who wants to accompany me?"
After saying this, the room became quiet for a moment before Rowena disappeared; she went to build the Gravity Room. Hermione and Bellatrix left to start their new project, Luna went to wrestle with a dragon.
Olivier did not want to waste time, so she went to train. So, only Fleur was left to accompany Edward–who sighed out loud after seeing this.
He knew the reason all of them were acting this way. Although they accepted the fact that he was a womanizer, it does not mean that they will not complain or show their dissatisfaction one way or another.
The only person more acceptable to his way is Fleur–most likely because of her French origin. In the early days, Bellatrix was more understanding, however, recently, she has become a little possessive of him.
With a smile on his face, Edward accompanied Fleur.
