Hidden Danger

Ignoring Albion's furious gaze, Edward quickly reviewed the information he gathered about Intermediate Draconic Language and nodded in satisfaction. Although he only managed to get 10% of it, with his understanding of Beginner Draconic Language and with Morgana's help, he should be able to deduce the rest after some time.

Plus, he did not place as much emphasis on this magic as he used to. The main reason that he was excited was that he could use what he just learned to make some minor upgrade to his Arcane Rune Magic.

So, after getting the information he could get and sending it to Morgana, he began to achieve his real purpose in coming to see the grumpy dragon.

Edward immediately used his Cosmic Awareness as he looked at Albion. His mind then traveled countless light-years away, in a galaxy far away.

He saw a solar system gleaming with black lights. From his point of view, there seem to be countless scales bound together.

Suddenly, two bright stars appeared out of nowhere, shining brightly throughout the solar system. Immediately, Edward's jaw as he became gaze; he could not imagine what he saw.

The so-called stars were two eyes, and the solar system was the body of a colossal dragon. He saw a dragon the size of a solar system. Edward took a deep breath to calm himself down.

After opening his eyes, the dragon muttered: "The Thunder Dragon King has been resurrected?"

Just his words created a massive space storm enough to destroy a few solar systems. Moreover, Edward could feel a terrifying amount of mana inside this dragon's body; the quantity was higher than the massive Philosopher's Stone he has powering his World Gate, albeit not as good when it comes to quality.

"I should probably contact the Dragon Temple to go get him."

After these words were spoken, Edward's vision was broken. He found himself breathing loud, his heartbeat accelerate, and his clothes were soaked in cold sweats.

Luckily for him, the enchantments on them activated to clean himself and the clothes.

A few minutes later, Edward calmed himself down, then an excited smile appeared on his face.

"This world is more interesting than I thought," he muttered under his breath.

When he looked at Albion again, he became excited. This dragon must have the potential to reach that level. And as long as he is strong enough to suppress it, one day, he can ride a dragon the size of a solar system.

How domineering that will be.

For a moment, he became excited again before removing these thoughts from his head and dealing with the real problem.

After this experience, he could see that Albion's body is releasing a strange wave and that colossal dragon was using it to know his coordinates. If this issue is not dealt with, once these powerful dragons arrived on Earth, the little Arcane Empire have little chance of surviving.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

The only hope that he will have is the Void Canon, however, these things are unstable and their power has not been tested yet. So, their effectiveness is still unknown.

Still, knowing the current situation, Edward decided to deal with the coordinate wave from Albion and improve the stability and power of the Void Canon as a deterrence to these powerful gods and demons.

So, for the next four days, Edward began to study that wave. Unfortunately, he could not find a way to block it or prevent Albion from sending it. In the end, he decided not to waste too much time and send the dragon to live in a World Gate located in the Void.

That way, the Source Wall will act as the protective shield for this wave. And even if the dragon race managed to track the signal, they would not be able to do anything unless they could also enter the Void like Edward.

This treatment is not only for Albion but also the Water Dragon King that Fleur was using to study bloodline since she also was sending a signal.

However, Edward also had one last precautionary measure to do. He send both Albion and the Water Dragon King to a faraway galaxy and left them on a planet full of underground beasts with a small trace of dragon bloodline. Then, he erased all the traces of the signal that they were sending from planet Earth.

As he looked at the two sleeping dragons, Edward muttered: "If the Dragon Temple can track the last place the signal was located, they should not found Earth, but this desolate planet."

After that, he entered the World Gate and returned to Earth. By the time he was done with all this, another three days. However, as soon as Edward returned home, he felt an intense gaze.

He looked in one direction as his eyes suddenly turned pitch black. His gaze then seemed to pierce through another dimension where he saw a tall individual dressed in a black floating cloak.

His Cosmic Awareness once again activated and some information appeared inside his mind:

"Herpo, Tier 8 Solar System Level (Weakened State). Curse by Cronai to be forever stuck in this dimension without leaving."

Many pieces of other information about this god also appeared in his mind.

"Herpo, ever since I came back, you've been peeping nonstop. Please stop as it is quite uncomfortable."

After hearing these words, Herpo had a calm and composed demeanor despite how shocked he was inside. This wizard, no, arcanist's strength has increased from Tier 3 to Tier 5 in just five years.

In his current state, he can barely use Tier 6 Planet Level strength, so he is not that far in terms of strength. Additionally, in the past, the arcanist needed to use the Deathly Allows to contact him, but now, he could easily do, meaning his understanding of dimensions has reached a higher level in the past five years.

Moreover, Herpo has known Edward for decades and knew about his personality. He always has been careful when talking or dealing with him, but now, he felt a hint of taunting in his voice.

It was as if he did not care whether he left the afterlife and deal with him.

'So, what does he have to rely on?' thought the Death God.

He wanted to use the last remaining faith he has and leave this place, then use all his strength to instantly destroy this arcanist. However, his cautious nature did not want to take risks.

Herpo knows a few secrets. For example, the reason that the current Arcane Empire cannot summon demons from Hell or even access other dimensions is that his forceful ascension to Godhood ten thousand years ago severed the connection to these places.

However, after mana returned to the environment, this connection will slowly heal itself.

Herpo planned to take advantage of this process to create a clone to stay in the afterlife and escape his imprisonment with his real body.

So, as long as he waits patiently, not only can he escape, he will be able to use his full strength.

The question is now whether this Arcane Emperor will give him time?

Disclaimer: With this Tier System, once Edward becomes more powerful, it will become harder for me to have him enter some world that could give him some challenge. So, in the future, I will either slightly nerf him or drastically raise the power ceiling of some world.

Of course, I will not make him start from scratch, but lower his ability so that he can have some form of challenge. Plus, I will try to make things make sense and not just randomly make a low-level world more powerful.

I will also try to find worlds that are suited for his power level depending on the level he is at in the story.
