บท 488: Fleur's Path
"I have found my path forward," said Fleur as she summoned a bunch of schematics.
"My plan is to create my Bloodline Source, becoming the Ancestor of Bloodline." She showed Edward how she would build a special dimension similar to the dragons to keep the memories and inheritance.
"This is the first step of this plan. The second step is controlling an entire plane, preferably Tier 10. Then, I will have all the people on that plane implanted with my bloodline.
"Through the Bloodline Source, I can have them research bloodlines and related knowledge for me. I can take some mana and soul strength from them, allowing me to reach Tier 10 at the fastest speed.
"And if something eventually happens to me, I can use the dragon's method and reincarnate by having someone of close bloodline inherit all my knowledge and memories.
"What do you think?" She looked at him, hoping for his input and approval.
"So, you've basically created the bloodline version of Faith."
Fleur paused before chuckling, "I guess I did." With the way she will be using bloodline, it is indeed similar to the Gods' Faith and their Divine Kingdom.
"What do you think of my plan?"
"There are many advantages. Your path to Tier 10 will be quick and without much problem. You will have an entire world dedicated to researching bloodlines, spells, and knowledge for you.
"If done correctly, you could probably make it so you could borrow the power of your bloodline descendants. However, this is also a double-edged sword. The right person could use these descendants to hurt since you're connected by bloodline."
"I've thought of this. So, the Bloodline Source will also need a buffer or countermeasures to prevent that from happening," nodded Fleur.
"It's good you're cautious. The second issue is your bloodline itself. The Veela Bloodline is an off-branch of the Succubus Bloodline, and it's of lower status. You don't have to worry much since you now have the Succubus Bloodline.
"However, I have recently started to believe that Succubi are not native to the Cosmic Faith Plane and originated from the Abyss Plane. And there is a high chance there is already a Bloodline Source for Succubus.
"Your project could lead to trouble and confrontation with it."
"This problem is easy to fix," said Fleur quickly. "I can create a unique bloodline by fusing the former Veela, the current Succubus, and the Succubus Bloodline from the Konosuba World. Better yet, I can hunt Succubus Bloodline from other universes to add, ensuring my Bloodline Source is unique and not related or influenced by the one from the Abyss."
"That's good. In that case, I recommend adding another creature to your bloodline," nodded Edward.
"Do you fear there might be a Succubus Bloodline Source for all universes in the Void?"
"Yes. There is a high chance that powerful creatures like dragons and Succubi have a being on par with Merlin, who is the source of all bloodlines in the Omniverse.
"So, it's not a bad idea to prepare for this possibility."
"You make a good point." One of the things many people–including their family–admired about their husband is his cautious nature that bordered on extreme paranoia. However, such nature has prevented countless dangers and catastrophes with many dangerous experiments in the Empire.
Otherwise, when there were not enough restrictions and control at the beginning of the Empire, the Wizards were doing many dangerous experiments that laid the foundation for today's success. If not for Edward's caution, the Empire might have been destroyed before it was even created.
"You've done a great job. But this does not seem enough for you to be this obsessed," added Edward.
"You're right. The real source of my excitement is I have found my way to Tier 11," said Fleur, not hiding her excitement.
"You want to use the Bloodline Source to control all your variants across the Multiverse?" asked Edward, who swiftly figured out the crux of her method.
"Correct. All of them should have the Veela's bloodline. Through this connection, I can turn them into me, thus achieving Tier 11 Multiversal."
"That's brilliant," said Edward, not hiding his shock and happiness. He hasn't found his way to achieve Tier 11 yet since he only has some ideas. However, Fleur already created her method, and it's something unique to her.
"Right?" She did not stop smiling.
"We can begin right after this war. You can use Netheril to conquer a Tier 10 Plane. No, one might not be enough to ensure no problem. Wait until I use the resources from the Dark Multiverse to create a second and even third Tier 10 Floating City. We should have more reassurance."
Edward could see that Fleur might be the fastest of the family to reach Tier 10 and 11. And once she succeeds, she will become the de facto protector of the Empire while the others catch up.
As for him? He will be stuck in Tier 8 for a while until he deals with the Soul Limit. Then, reaching Tier 10 will be easy and quick. Afterward, he has to begin his research on becoming the perfect Tier 11 and also turning Netheril into Tier 11 and higher.
"That's fine," nodded Fleur, who guessed what she was thinking. If she can reach Tier 11 as soon as possible, the Empire does not have to worry too much about the Gods or threats from foreign planes.
As for the Tier 8 Soul Limit? She can use Divine Energy or World Sources to deal with the issue.
"How far has the design for your Bloodline Source reached?" asked Edward.
"The dimension itself and all its abilities are 80% complete. The only thing is to tweak a few things because I've discovered the Dragon Bloodline Source has a special method to perfectly hide their dimension. And without direct understanding and connection of a Dragon King's bloodline, it's impossible to access.
"The hiding method is almost perfect. I'm trying to replicate it, and it's not going well," said Fleur.
"Take your time," said Edward. "If you want a perfect hiding method, you can attempt using the Void itself."
Fleur's eyes lit up, "Yes, I don't need to follow the dragon's methods–I can use my own method, which is even better."
She felt excited, so she drew these notes down.
"What about the other aspect of the source?" continued Edward.
"I need to perfect my Succubus Bloodline and integrate so many things. It will take a while."
"You don't have to begin the project after the bloodline issue is solved. You can use your descendants to help your research."
"Although there will be some risks while using an incomplete bloodline, your method might be more efficient. And it's a good way to accelerate the entire project.
"However, I still need to go to other universes to gather bloodline samples?"
"Let's make things simple and use the Akashic Records."
"Won't that cost a lot?"
"Yes, but it's worth it. Although we can instantly travel to other universes now, there is still some level of danger of traveling to the Void. Plus, in the current situation, I can use Old Man Merlin's help to make the Akashic Records more commendable."
Edward wished nothing but for all his wives to become Tier 11 as quickly as possible because he knew they had intense competition. Many of the geniuses reincarnated from Primordial Earth should have similar wives in the shape of Hermione, Fleur, Luna, and even others.
However, after Tier 11, only one personality will be the dominant one, while the others will be clones. Although there are ways to cut off the connection to the main body after it becomes Tier 11, it will complicate things and prevent the "clones" from ever reaching Tier 11.
So, if Fleur can be the first to become Tier 11, all the other Fleurs who are married to other Reincarnators from Primordial Earth will become clones. And these reincarnators will have no choice but to use methods like cutting off Cause and Effect and reincarnating into a brand new person with the same name and face but a different soul.
However, these methods should have side effects.
"As you wish," nodded Fleur.
"Alright, this should be everything for now. Let me talk to this old friend."
บท 489: Albion
Edward walked into a large room full of gold, silver, and jewelry. As soon as he entered, the gigantic dragon opened its eyes for a moment before closing them. Then, he opened both of them, raising his head as he gazed down.
"Tier 8? You're already Tier 8?" his voice booming as a few piles of treasures scattered because of the vibration. "How long since I last saw you? How could you become so powerful so quickly?
"No, there is something else."
The towering beast who naturally sat at the top of the food chain began to sniff around Edward.
"What are you doing acting like a dog?" said Edward, bewildered.
"This scent, I know it. It's the scent of people that have come into contact with [Authority]. Have you become a Law Magus? How is that possible?"
"Law Magus? Is that the name of the Magus Race who controls the law? Well, I always learn something new and interesting every time I come to see you."
"Answer my question," demanded the dragon.
"Calm down."
Albion realized he was acting too rash, so he took a moment to breathe and calm down, "You really became a Law Magus?"
"Yes."
The dragon paused for a moment, "Prove it."
"You don't believe me?"
"Honestly, it's far-fetched."
"I'm sure there are others in the universe."
"People can only control [Authority] by achieving Godhood," replied Albion. "A few people from ancient species like the High Elves have become Law Magus, but they are rare.
"As for your human race? I can't say for sure, but I've never met one in my long years."
"But what about the dragon race?"
Albion looked at him but did not answer, and Edward shrugged his shoulders.
"Are you going to show me the proof?" asked the Thunder Dragon King.
"I can't."
"Why not?" asked the dragon with a frown. "I thought you were all about Equivalent Exchange? What I said is more than enough for a proof demonstration."
"I'm not saying that I won't, but I can't. You should be able to figure out the reason for yourself."
A look of realization dawned on the mighty magical beast, "You succeeded, didn't you? You found a way to exit the Astral Realm and leave the universe?"
"Yes," replied Edward. Previously, he never gave the dragon a direct answer, but he did not hesitate this time.
"How is that possible?" asked the dragon, not minding how many times he had said these words. The Dragon Race has been searching for a way to leave the universe for countless eons since they believed that's the path the Magus Race walked.
They divided the race into the Dragon Gods and the Dragon Temple to use the path of Godhood and their original magical talent as a way to better understand the universe and accomplish their goals.
Yet, after so many years, they have nothing to offer in their research.
But a human from a part of the galaxy that is considered the Ghetto actually succeeded.
"As much as I would want to take credit, the main reason for my success is luck."
"Oh, how so?"
"I discovered the breach in reality that the Magus Race used in a parallel dimension. After studying it, I developed the technology."
"I see...Wait, did you say parallel dimensions?"
"Yes."
"You opened the Gate to the Multiverse?"
"Yes, ages ago."
Albion closed his eyes, trying to calm down; he did not know how to process his emotions. The Multiverse was another failure of the Dragon Race–albeit not a complete one like their attempt to leave the Astral Realm.
"You must be a Child of Destiny," said Albion suddenly. "That would explain all your anomalies."
"Child of Destiny? What's that?" Edward had heard the term before in the novels he read in Primordial Earth. However, he pretended to be confused.
"It is a Universal Mechanism very prevalent in the Heavenly Dao Plane. Every time the plane faced an invasion that it could not deal with, the Plane Will would choose someone and bless them with unparalleled talent, luck, and destiny.
"And such a person is called a Child of Destiny."
"So, basically, the protagonist of a story," said Edward.
"Exactly. Such a protagonist will bring great development and changes to the plane, allowing them to deal with the upcoming invasion," nodded Albion as he gazed at him curiously.
"Although such a method is prevalent in that plane, it's not unheard of for other powerful planes to do the same. So, I'm guessing Cronai chose you to prepare for a future threat in our plane."
Edward pondered briefly. Albion was not exactly correct. Cronai chose him because he displayed tremendous talent and luck. In other words, her blessing was nothing but adding wings to a tiger.
Furthermore, Edward guessed Cronai only chose him after he created the Empire. Furthermore, she did not do it completely because of foreign threats but simply because she was tired of the Gods and their inadequacy.
"You seem to have thought of something. Did you notice certain signs?" asked Albion.
"You don't need to do these things."
The dragon grunted at him, but Edward ignored him. "I came here to acquire the Advance Dragon Language from you."
"Unfortunately, this is the highest secret of the Dragon Clan, something even the High Elves desire. So, I can't reveal them to you."
"Do you know where this place is?"
"Why are you asking such a strange question?"
"This place is located outside the Astral Realm, a place where the restrictions of your Bloodline Source have been drastically reduced. I placed you here to prevent your kind from finding you and discovering the Empire.
"So, even if you pass it to me, there won't be any problem."
The dragon contemplated for a moment, "I know the High Elves' Spirit Language, which is the source of their High Magic. I can exchange it with you."
Edward shook his head, "If I guess correctly, the Advance Dragon Language allows your race to resonate with certain [Authority] and use their powers.
"You're the Dragon King, so you must be very knowledgeable in the Thunder Character, allowing you to borrow the power of Thunder Law.
"My theory is that each of the Dragon Kings knows one Advance Dragon Character that corresponds to their attribute. Am I correct?"
"You're right," said the dragon, who felt exhausted dealing with someone of such high wisdom. "Since you know this truth, you should understand my character won't do you much since you don't have Thunder Authority."
"No, it's even more valuable since it can allow me to control Thunder Law."
"The Thunder Character can only allow resonance with the Thunder Authority of the universe. It cannot allow you to control…"
The dragon stopped as he realized his words made no sense. This man already controlled other Authorities, so the Thunder Character can be used by him to control a new one. In other words, it was perfect for someone like him.
"Have you realized the true purpose of the Thunder Character? Or any of your Dragon Advance Language?" said Edward. "They are the best training for people to become Law Magus, as you called it."
In the future, when an Arcanist reaches the Willpower requirement to become Legends, they can study whatever Characters are needed for whatever Authority they wish to control.
Edward even plans to create his own character based on his Four Laws of Space, Time, Destruction, and Curse to allow other people to learn from them.
And once he acquires more laws, he will also create other characters for them. However, now, he wished to get his hands on the Dragon's Character to learn more Laws and how to create these characters.
"You want to train more Law Magus?" asked Albion.
"Isn't that obvious? My goal is to create an Era even more prosperous than the Magus Race."
