Edward walked out of the room where he had confronted the power of Lord God; his destination was another room with a pool with mist. After opening the door, he saw Tobias' group waiting, looking around in fear.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"What just happened?" asked Michelle, trembling as she remembered the helplessness she felt once that force enveloped the manner. "What was that power?"
"That's the power of your Lord God."
"Did you fail?" asked Tobias, who guessed the latter tried to temper with the Samsara Hall's restriction in a reincarnator's soul.
"What makes you think I would fail?"
"Such a power, I doubt even you–a Tier 8 Legendary Arcanist–could fight against."
"You're right that the power of the Lord God is beyond my capabilities. However, the owner is probably not as strong as me."
"What does that mean?" asked Tobias, confused. Even with his intelligence, he could not follow this conversation. However, his intuition told him this information was extremely important.
"That's not something you need to know," replied Edward, instantly blocking his desire to know more.
"So, you did succeed?" asked Michelle–who was the only person here with an intense desire to be freed from the Samsara Hall's control.
"Yes," replied Edward as he showed him a cloud-like substance floating above his head.
"A soul?" Set asked. "With such an injury, can you save him?"
The smallest crack in a person's soul would take him years to heal. And if it were a person of higher Tiers, it would take him hundreds of years–if not thousands.
And if the person were missing a soul, Set would be useless to heal. The best he could do is fuse the missing soul together, and that was an extremely difficult task for him.
However, the soul before him seemed to be missing more than three-quarters. So, he wondered how could this person be saved.
"Of course."
Set gave him a look that he did not believe him. Then, he asked, "Can I watch?"
"Why not?"
He led the group into the room with the misty pool. Without saying anything else or doing any extravagant actions, he placed the soul in the pool. A few seconds later, the group saw the floating cloud stabilize before growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This is incredible. But how does it work? What is the principle behind this?" asked Set. He saw what was happening but could not comprehend why it was happening.
"All sentient beings have a Life Code–which is the blueprint of their existence. Life Codes are usually divided into Body, Bloodline, and Soul. The body and Bloodline are sometimes fused together, and the soul sometimes does not exist."
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
Some people glanced at Kingsley.
"The body controls your DNA, while the Soul Aspect controls, well, the soul. Just like your gene has the information to heal a severely injured body, it is the same for the Soul Life Code.
"This pool uses soul energy to activate this information, thus returning the soul to its original shape."
"So, a genetic manipulation of the soul?" asked Sasha.
"Genetic Manipulation of The Soul," muttered Edward. "That's a great way to put it." He looked at her and gave her a nod of approval. For some reason, Sasha felt pride; she could feel this Legendary Arcanists only cared about Tobias. He found Kingsley interesting because of his uniqueness while tolerating Set because they were both Arcanists.
As for her and Michelle? Well, she could tell he was only being polite.
'Wait, why should I be proud he acknowledged me?' She secretly controlled herself and calmed down.
"This level of magical technology." Set's eyes were full of fascination and greed.
"Don't think about it. You haven't even reached the point of conducting Soul Surgery, so don't even think about this level of technology," said Edward.
Set smiled wryly. Then, Edward looked at him up and down.
"Although your talent is mediocre, and you don't have the spirit of exploration of arcanist, you seem a pretty lucky guy. So, I will give you a spell."
Edward was not lying as he sensed this guy's luck was similar to some protagonists in some lower universe. So, he pointed to his forehead and instilled some information.
"This is also the price for your Titan Arcane Staff."
Set took a moment to review the spell in his mind, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
"Life Code Spell…With this thing, I can explore the secret of bloodline, soul, and DNA. If I focus on the Wizard Path, I can modify my body to have the most powerful bloodline."
His body trembled. "Such a spell would be the foundation of a terrifying civilization. It should be the work of thousands of genius, working nonstop for a hundred thousand years.
"Are you sure you want to give it to me?"
"You're overexaggerating thing," said Edward nonchalantly. "I created this thing when I was 21 years old and only Tier 0 Apprentice. And the one I gave you was the original and most horrible version of the spell. Plus, you will have to spend years deciphering the code.
"However, you're right in saying it can be the foundation of terrifying civilization."
Edward was not lying since he discovered the Life Code to modify his bloodline, break his Limiters, and reach Tier 1.
"21 years old, Tier 0…Impossible. No one is so talented."
"Well, I am," said Edward casually. "Now that I think about it, my story is quite legendary."
The room quieted down because of his narcissistic comment, making everything awkward.
"You guys are boring. Why don't you ask me why I said that" he added.
"S-Sir, why did you say that?" asked Michelle, terribly embarrassed. However, she had no choice since this person might be her only chance at freedom.
"I'm glad you ask," said Edward, with no embarrassment and shame.
"In some ways, I'm like you guys. I was born on Earth before being reincarnated into the Harry Potter World."
"Wait, you're from Earth?" asked Sasha.
"Isn't it obvious with all my understanding of the different 'anime' you guys' power system come from?" he replied, looking at Sasha weirdly. The latter became even more embarrassed.
"Sir, continue," said Michelle, surprised by this arcanist's origin.
"I was born during the First Wizard War and barely survived Voldemort's madness. I had become one of the most accomplished wizards in the world by the time I graduated.
"At 21 years old, I discovered the Life Code. 23 years old, I conquered the Wizard World and united all the wizards from all countries. 24 years old, I announce the existence of wizards to the world, preaching the peaceful existence of wizards and muggles.
"29 years old, I conquered the entire planet through scheming and established the Arcane Empire.
"In my 50s, the Arcane Empire has developed into a magical technology civilization and spread throughout the entire solar system. Simultaneously, through luck and the aid of my mentor–Merlin–-I invented Omniversal Travel.
"By gathering the knowledge and technology of different universes, the Empire developed faster than an uncontrollable train. Right now, it is less than a hundred years old, there are hundreds of Tier 7 Arcanists and probably millions of Tier 6.
"More importantly, the Empire is a Tier 10 Civilization because of the Floating City I created, capable of fighting the Gods who rule the universe," said Edward with extreme pride. Then, he looked at Tobias.
"How is it? Don't you want to be my disciple? You will have an entire civilization worth of resources to help you."
"Sir, even if you are trying to recruit me, there is no need to lie," said Tobias cautiously.
"Lie? I never lie."
"In just a hundred years, you took the low-level Harry Potter Universe into a Tier 10 Civilizations, and you've become Tier 8–that is not possible."
"The Empire is less than a hundred years, I am not," explained Edward. "With time dilation from other universes and Time Acceleration Technology, I am more than 900 years old."
"That makes more sense," muttered Set. Although he said that, he knew A 900 years Tier 8 was extremely young. He was only 240 years and Tier 6. However, that's because he took a long-term mission in the World of Warcraft World.
At that time, he had only reached Tier 3. However, he gathered enough mission points to reach Tier 6 in less than 3 years. In the Samsara Hall, points are omnipotent, so it's entirely possible to achieve Tier 10 in less than a hundred years.
"Even then, it's hard to believe." Tobias understood how difficult it is to reach higher Tiers without the cheating method of the Samsara Hall.
"It's not entirely out of the realm of possibility if you consider the mysteries of the Harry Potter Universe like the Death God, the Time Turner, the Philosopher Stones, and the Rooms of Mysteries," suddenly said Kingsley.
"Great analysis," commented Edward. "I used all these things as the basis for our civilization. How about it, change your mind?"
"Sorry," replied Tobias.
"That's a shame."
Edward shook his head and decided to no longer ask; since the latter insisted, he'll respect his choice. Then, he focused on Hernandes' soul, which had regenerated.
