"Did something happen to change the general situation?" asked Edward while sitting next to Olivier and playing with her blonde hair. She ignored him before saying:
"No, but someone reminded me of something crucial. If we allow the Undead Disaster to continue for an extended time, the population of the entire galaxy will drastically decrease once we conquer it."
"That is indeed a problem. Could we revert the undead to normal?"
"I had the same idea as you, so I had the Divination Department find one of the Undead Legions and send my squad to capture a few of them for an experiment.
"However, according to Bellatrix, even with the Death Chamber and Death Staff, it would take countless time and resources to change even a dozen low-level undead."
In other words, it takes too much money and time to revert all these people to normal: money and time that the Empire either does not have or is not willing to spend.
"Can I see the report?" asked Edward, so Olivier showed him a projection. According to Bellatrix's experiment, the undead' souls have been corrupted by negative energy, so, even if a new body were created for them and placed their souls inside, it would soon pollute the body.
And the solution to this problem is to revert the corruption of the soul–which is almost permanent. Only the power of [Authority] could achieve this; however, both Life and Death Authority is required.
With only Death Authority, it took Bellatrix a lot of time and effort to revert the corruption of one soul, and even after succeeding, there are still some problems.
"Do you have any solution?"
"The current plan is to begin the war in advance with the Death God. However, we will not directly get rid of him. Instead, we will delay its growth to control population loss."
Edward pondered before saying: "What if we include undead into the Empire?"
"You mean, accept them as citizens?"
"That's right."
"The problem with that is getting people to accept them–especially in the current situation where they are public enemy number one."
"We can create a spokesperson for the undead. We can have him preach that not all undeads are evil, and the current evil ones are enslaved people forced to do the bidding of the Death God.
"Plus, in the final battle, we can have said spokesperson sacrificed themselves to save countless people, thus soliciting their status as a hero."
"This might work. With the proper marketing and guidance of public opinion, we can slowly introduce 'good" undead to the people and change their overall views. And after the final battle, we can convert all the members of the Undead Legion into citizens of the Empire.
"However, it will not be an easy task to control public opinion throughout the entire Milky Way Galaxy."
Olivier immediately began to think about how this would be feasible. The best method would be to use the Cosmic Web, as it is the fastest way to connect many people in the galaxy.
"By the way, do you know anything about the Cosmic Web?"
"I only know that like the Universe Bank, it is probably created by many Gods for some purpose, and it spread throughout the entire universe. I tried having Morgana hack it, but it was futile."
"Is that so? In that case, we need to put them on the list of things to watch out for."
"True. Is there anything else?"
"Yes. We learned from the Federation that the entire galaxy is cut off from the rest of the universe. No one can enter or leave."
"Even out ships cannot leave?"
The current Imperial Fleet's FLT technology is based on a lesser version of the World Gate, which is considered very advanced.
"Yes. According to our information, the Death God has a weapon from the Magus Race?"
"Them again? Do we have any more information?"
"Negative. That weapon is the only time we've ever heard their name in this galaxy."
Edward nodded his head, "What about the World Gate? Can it leave?"
"I've tested it, and there was no problem."
"That's fine, then," replied Edward, who suddenly remembered something. "How did you get the information from the Federation?"
"We bribe one of their leaders. The new mana crystals seemed extremely valuable or sought after. I wonder how these people would react if they learned about the Aether Core."
The mana crystals were used as a source of energy for most magetech products. Most of the products in the Empire, like flying cars, regular cars, trains, and others, used mana crystals.
Only important things like the Tower of Tower Masters or military weapons would use Lesser Aether Core or Lesser Philosopher's Stone.
Because Edward recently brought new knowledge, the Empire can now embed mana directly in these inventions. And with the environment filled with mana, some enchantments can absorb mana from nature to power these technologies. In contrast, mana crystals are only used as a backup or emergency energy source.
However, mana crystals serve as currency in the universe and can be absorbed by people since the mana inside is milder and easier to control. And now, with the Empire capable of purifying mana, the value of the newly created mana crystals has skyrocketed.
"Once the Akashic Record is completed, I will leave for my next voyage. Do you want to go as well?"
"Not in the current situation," replied Olivier. "However, I want to send a clone into the Star Trek Universe that you mention to attend Starfleet Academy."
"No problem. Alright, let's go meet the others."
Olivier looked at her watch. "We still have some time, so let's enjoy ourselves first."
As soon as she finished these words, her clothes disappeared, leaving only her undergarments. Then, she jumped onto Edward while crossing her long legs behind his waist.
"You don't have to tell me twice."
An hour later, Edward took a spaceship to a desolate Star System a few hundred light-years away from the Solar System. Edward looked at this star system from inside the spacecraft.
Five planets formed a pentagon shape. Massive metal structures connected all the planets forming a magic circle with geometrical shapes on the inside. This was the nationwide transmutation circle that Father used back in the Full-Metal Alchemist Universe.
However, an entire star system was used instead, along with a few modifications to the circle.
Edward headed to a space station that orbited the transmutation circle where Lily, Snape, Filius, Nicolas Flamel, and Edward's wives were waiting. Even Olivier had arrived earlier.
Grindelwald and many members of the Shadow Guard were also present, but they were already on the planets. Edward chatted with everybody while waiting.
A few hours later, Rowena and Luna arrived.
"You two looked excited."
"We found what we were looking for," said Luna.
"We think we found it," corrected Rowena.
"Really?" asked Edward with slight excitement.
"We found a parallel dimension isolated by a very powerful barrier. Even with the World Gate, we could not break through it."
"So powerful?"
"Yes. I even detect void energy in those barriers."
"The Lord God Space should be powerful if they can isolate an entire timeline and use void energy. So, the mission has failed?"
"Not necessarily," added Luna. "Using that timeline, I have been divining other timelines with barriers. I hope to find one with a slightly weaker barrier so that we can enter or send a small piece of our soul and find the watch you want."
"You must be extremely careful," reminded Edward. He had many theories about the Lord God's Space. He believed that there were different versions of them.
One version is that this space is created by a powerful life form that sends other people to other universes as a way to become stronger.
The other version is that the Lord God Space is a powerful magical artifact with the ability to travel the omniverse. And some lucky and weak creatures acquired that artifact, then used it to pretend to be powerful while secretly increasing their strength.
There have been many such examples in novels. Edward wants to find the second version so that he can take the artifact from that lucky and weak creature that secretly controls things from behind the scene.
Although the Akashic Record should allow him to travel to any universe at will, it is still not his ability, and he did not want to rely on it entirely.
Additionally, he will have many benefits besides mastering omniversal travel with the Lord God Space in his hand.
"Now that everyone is here let's begin."

The members of the Illuminati took their position on one of the five planets. They all stood at the center of a massive transmutation circle engraved on the planet. Once everything was present, Edward began.
Floating on top of their heads was a massive Aether Core the same size as the Floating City, meaning Edward now had the energy needed to make five more Floating City.
All he needed was the other resources.
Standing on a platform at the center of the transmutation circle formed by the five planets, Edward said: "Let's begin."
As soon as he uttered these words, a mighty Will descended on this Star System and thoroughly isolated it from the rest of the universe. This was one of the reasons that Edward wanted Cronai's help.
This ceremony will require a massive amount of energy, and he did not want the other Gods to notice something and come check it out. Although the current Miky Way is blocked, that rule might not apply to some Tier 10 Gods.
Additionally, he did not want this galaxy to be noticed by some powerful beings before the Empire grew to a certain extent.
Previously, he wanted to enter the Blank Realm–the place between parallel dimensions–to use the ceremony. However, he discovered that entering the Blank Realm was more difficult in this universe than in the previous one.
It took the Empire two years to fine-tune the technology of the Novad to reach the Blank Realm. However, the first two expeditions sent to explore were instantly wiped out.
Luckily, Edward prepared beforehand and made them leave a small piece of their souls. With enough resources, their souls were healed, and a new body was created for them. Oddly though, something or someone erased their memories.
So, Edward officially labeled the Blank Realm as the highest Danger Zone and should be slowly explored. He also removed his idea of conducting the ceremony there.
Under Edward's words, the other members placed their hands on the transmutation circle in their planets and controlled the energy from the Aether Core to activate them.
Edward did the same thing, while Morgana linked her computing power to all these people's souls to aid them in controlling such a massive amount of energy.
Then, the entire Star System seemed to light up. If someone looked at them from another point of view, they could see that each of the planets had transmutation circles engraved all over them.
At the same time, they also formed a larger transmutation circle when viewed from above. Furthermore, the metal constructs that connected all the planets had countless smaller runes or magic circles engraved on them and lit up.
After minutes later, Edward found his mind traveling to some far away distance' he seemed to be connecting to something or some entity. After what seemed both like an eternity and an instant simultaneously, he heard a sound deep in his mind.
"Ding. Welcome to the Akashic Record Branch #127490374. Would you like to begin the tour?"
Edward frowned after hearing this.
'Could it be that the record has different branches in different worlds? If I can only access the information in this universe, this would defeat my main purpose to get world coordinates from it.'
His mind rushed as he thought of a solution. While he was deep in thought, the other members had a difficult time. Controlling such vast energy was a problem even with Morgana's help.
In the end, Grindelwald ordered the members of the Ghost Squads to bare some of the burdens, thus giving the rest room to breathe.
After a few minutes of thinking, Edward thought of something. He connected to the Floating City and opened a breach outside the universe in the Void.
Then, he used the connection that the transmutation circle granted him to find the Main Branch of the Akashic Record located in the Void. However, he encountered another difficulty.
He could feel that it would probably take him a few billion years to reach his destination. Forget whether he could last that long; he did not want to wait even if he could.
So, another method is required. While thinking of a solution, he heard a Voice Transmission from Rowena.
"My latest research may help you," she said before sending the information directly to his mind. Rowena found a way to isolate the spatial characteristics from void energy and use it for teleportation.
She only needs to tell the void energy where she wants to go, and it will take her there. No coordination or memories of being there is required: just a request or desire.
She was very excited about her discovery as the concept of distance would be futile to her. If she wants to travel to parallel dimensions, any specific one, she has to tell the void energy where she wants to go, and it will take her there.
And the same can be applied to other universes too. Unfortunately, she is only in the early stages of her research and can only teleport something as big as a basketball.
Moreover, there are still many restrictions on the order she can give to void energy. Nevertheless, this research was still beneficial to Edward.
Using it, he ordered the Void Energy to take him to the Akashic Record. Immediately, he felt that the speed at which his mind traveled using that connection dramatically increased.
A few minutes later, he found himself standing in front of an enormous black Gate with books carved on it. Each of the books' covers had a different design or symbol.
"An owl, a mandala, the sarastivi, ibis, and many more. These are symbols of knowledge from different religions and cultures," muttered Edward.
The gate suddenly opened, and Edward was swallowed inside. However, he only found himself standing in his original place in his universe with a message inside his mind.
With a frown on his face, he said: "Status."
A screen appeared in front of him.
"Name: Edward Bones (Christian Stuart)
Origin: Primordial Earth
Gift: Eidetic Memory, Extreme Magic Affinity
Mentor: Sir Merlin
Current Residence: Universe #127490374 (HP Universe)
Age: 304
Rank; Tier 6 Planetary
Titles: Arcane Emperor, Civilization Creator, Sage of Wisdom, Divine Artificer, Pathfinder, Dark Explorer, and Voyager.
Knowledge Point: 0
Mission Point: 200."
Edward looked at the status window while pondering. Many of these things were obvious. Christian was his original name before reincarnation, and gifts probably referred to the talent he received from Primordial Earth.
But he was confused about knowledge points.
'What is knowledge point?" he direction ask with his mind, and he received the answer. His theory about the record when he was in the Full-Metal Alchemist World was correct.
The Akashic Record follows the Laws of Equivalent Exchange. If someone wants any knowledge from it, they have to exchange it with their own knowledge, which will be quantified as Knowledge Points (KP_.
Essentially, KP is the currency of the record. However, there are some rules or restrictions for acquiring KP. Only new or innovative knowledge can be exchanged.
For example, if Edward were to take a bunch of fundamental physics or chemistry knowledge from a world and exchange it with the record, he would not receive KP. However, if he took the existing knowledge and came up with some new theory, he could exchange it for points.
The only exception to that rule is if the record does not have a branch to a world and does not have its knowledge. Or if it is some lost knowledge that is rediscovered or recreated.
'If that is true, my perception of the Akashic Record was completely wrong. It does not hold all knowledge in existence since the beginning of time. It may be just a place to exchange knowledge between different universes.'
Then, Edwards asked what Mission Point was, and the answer he received confirmed his guess.
The Akashic Record has a mission hall for its users. The missions usually involved searching for lost knowledge, establishing a branch in a newly discovered universe or one that did not have the record, or finding out why some branches were disconnected.
Some knowledge requires a certain mission point to exchange along with Knowledge Points.
As for the reason he had 200 of them, this was the reward for discovering the record on his own without an invitation or being one of the lucky few who received the tokens left in many random worlds for the fortunate people.
Edward wanted to try something, so he searched for the Arcane Rune System in his universe and discovered a brief description of it, but it was labeled as [Not Yet Acquired.]
Then, he searched for information about the Black Clover World since he originally planned to go there if the record allowed him to choose which world to travel to.
"Black Clover World: All knowledge about this world includes the plot, a detailed analysis of the people and their character, the entire magic system including all the spells, detailed biological information regarding all species, etc.
"Price: 15,000,000 KP."
Edward frowned before exchanging all his knowledge of the Wandcraft System of Harry Potter. And he received 250, 346 KP.
Edward then asked the price of different aspects of Black Clover. For example, only the magic system, information on the Grimoires, or only information on the devils.
All the prices were between 1 million to 5 million individually. However, when he asked only about the plot or the coordinate of the universe, the total cost was 2,500 KP.
'I see. This is a way to encourage users to visit the word itself and acquire the knowledge in that way, then innovate. Additionally, the Record might also involve in Merlin and Solomon's war and use this method to train people.'
After understanding the general situation, Edward finally focused on the last thing that confused him: his titles and whether they served a purpose.
It turns out that each of them gave him some benefit.
-----
(AN: In the next chapter, the Black Clover Arc should start. Additionally, Edward's age is a rough estimate and not exact.
(Lastly, I know some of you would like some exploration or interaction in the Star Trek Universe. However, I never watched any of the shows besides the reboot movies with Chris Pine. So, I know very little about lore, technology, or characters. And I have no time to watch the entire thing.
(So, this universe will only be mentioned in a few paragraphs. As such, don't have any expectations so as to not be disappointed.)
