Aeterna City Port, Fortisregnum Empire 20 February 2141/ 20 Februarius 1841, 09:00 am

Sharif Husein bin Ali is a diplomat of the United Terran and became the leader of the diplomatic mission of the United Terran to Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate. He is the descendant of Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam, through Hussein's bloodline. United Terran is a free nation that lets its people practice religion. The tolerance between religions is high in the United Terran, and the right tolerance between religions is embraced.

The significantly reduced poverty and average high level of education in the people of United Terran are because of the social, economic, education, and technology programs of United Terran. The reduction of poverty and improvement of high-level education proved the reduction of extremism in the religious fanatic community. Secretary General Hugo knows and learns from the condition of Muslims like a double-edged knife of people. If they are treated well enough with strict law enforcement and freedom of religious practice, they will be highly loyal to the government and ready to defend the nation because of their concept of "Jihad."

In Islamic teachings, warfare is subject to strict conditions and can only be defensive, aiming to protect the Muslim community and their nation or to fight against oppression and injustice. Because of defensive purposes, Secretary-General Hugo was interested in this concept, and he consulted with the Islamic scholars and Imams of Muslim world leaders about the Jihad concept. This discussion results in the release of Fatwa or a legal opinion from Islamic scholars and Imam about the Jihad to defend United Terran from external and internal threats. The Islamic scholars and Imams also declare that Jihad for the defense of the United Terran from external and internal enemies is 'Fard al-Ayn.' This obligation is individually mandatory or personally obligatory for every Muslim.

The majority of the Muslim community in the United Terran obeys this Fatwa because the Islamic scholars and Imams create the Jihad fatwa based on Islamic Al-Quran and Hadiths. The Muslims volunteered to join the United Terran military force, especially the Muslims around the world, because of the success of the Humanity Project, which improved their quality of life. The Muslims obey the United Terran as their formal and factual world government. Based on Al-Quran verses, Muslims must obey the authority among the Muslims, even the actual and legal leaders, not Muslims. Muslims must obey as long as they are wise and good leaders based on Islamic values. Because of this action, the extremism of Muslims was highly reduced to nearly zero and improved their loyalty and joined the military forces of United Terran under Hugo's leadership.

Among the diplomatic team, the holiest of the Catholic Church, Pope John Paul V also joined the diplomatic teams because of the information about the Holy Body of the Prophet of "Yeshua" or the alternative Jesus in this world. He knows that this Holy Body is not the actual body of the Son of God because, in the Christian faith, Jesus Ascended to Heaven to atone for the sins of the people of humanity. However, he is curious about this "Alternative Jesus" and wants to learn about this Holy Body in Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate.

United Terran leadership sent the Swiss Guard and a special operations unit from the United Terran International Special Force (UT ISF) to protect the Pope and diplomatic teams. For transport, the United Terran leaderboard sent Carrier Strike Group (CSG) UTS Jerusalem, under Admiral Khalid bin Walid, to escort diplomatic teams to Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate.

"Greetings, Your Holiness. Thank you for coming to become a diplomatic member of our mission to the Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate. May God bless you, Your Holiness." Hussein, greetings Pope John.

"Rest assured, My child. Even though I am old, God allowed me to meet the Holy Body of His Son in this alternative world before my return to the Kingdom of Heaven." Pope John's response.

"Yes, Your Holiness. Based on information from Sir Maximillian Hitler, Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate claimed they preserved the Holy Body under the name "Yeshua." If they are the alternative version of the Abbasid Caliphate and Yeshua is their Prophet, we assume Yeshua is the alternative Jesus bin Maria, Son of God for Christians and Prophet of God for Muslims." Hussein informs the Holy Body in the Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate.

"You're right, my child. Even though this phenomenon will not impact the faith of our people, this Holy Body will become research about how they preserved the body centuries ago," Pope John responds.

"I hear they use magic to preserve the Holy Body. Maybe we could establish an economic and technology treaty with them to learn about magic." Hussein argues about the potential economic and technology treaty.

Admiral Khalid bin Walid arrives and greets Hussein and Pope John.

"Greetings, Your Holiness and Sharif Hussein. My name is Khalid bin Walid, and I am the Admiral of the Carrier Strike Group (CSG) of UTS Jerusalem. My teams will escort you to the Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate with Carrier Strike Group (CSG) UTS Jerusalem. Based on our satellite and the information of Dawlat Al-Nur diplomat, the range of route to Darussalam, the Capital City of Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate, is 2500 nautical miles from Aeterna Port." Admiral Khalid reports about the range to Darussalam City, the Capital of Dawlat Al-Nur.

"Thank you for the information, Admiral Khalid. We will trust your soldiers with our protection," Hussein responded.

After several minutes, Ibrahim Al-Farsi, diplomat of Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate, greets the United Terran diplomatic members.

"Greetings, the representatives of United Terran. Peace be upon you, and mercy and blessings of Allah. My name is Ibrahim Al-Farsi, and I am a diplomat of the Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate to the Fortisregnum Empire. I will guide you to my nation and meet the Caliph to establish the diplomatic relationship between our nations." Ibrahim introduced himself to the diplomatic team members of United Terran.

"Walaikum assalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh (May Allah's peace, mercy, and blessings with you too." Hussein, Khalid, and even Pope John V responded to Ibrahim's greetings as the tolerance between religions.

"How.. How do all of you know the greetings in our old language?" Ibrahim was surprised that the representative of United Terran responded in his old language.

"I see. Your language is Arabic, and maybe your old language resembles Semitic languages such as Hebrew, Aramaic, and Arabic," Hussein responded.

"All right, gentlemen, let us aboard speed boats to go aboard to UTS Jerusalem." Admiral Khalid persuaded the representatives of United Terran and Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate to board speed boats.

UTS Jerusalem, Shore of Aeterna, 20 February 2141/ 20 Februarius 1841, 09:15 am

After several minutes in speed boats, they are aboard UTS Jerusalem.

"Allah has willed it, and Allah is Mighty. How big and majestic your metal ships are. Your ships resemble metal ships in the Angles Empire, Weltenkraft Reich, People's Republic of Uroslav, and the United States of Amarilon." Ibrahim comments after he saw UTS Jerusalem.

"I am interested in the navy of this world's Superpower and Hyperpower nations, mainly if they use magic technology. I assume they will have technology similar to the British Empire (Angles Empire), Third Reich (Weltenkraft Reich), Soviet Union (People's Republic of Uroslav), and United States of America (United States of Amarilon)," Admiral Khalid comments about the navy power of superpower and hyperpower nations.

"We must carefully approach the superpower and hyperpower nations, especially Weltenkraft Reich and the People's Republic of Uroslav. We assume they have similarities with Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. We must prepare for the worst case before we open diplomatic relationships with them: they are arrogant because they are superpower and hyperpower nations." Hussein comment.

"Do not judge before we meet with them, my child. We could create assumptions to mitigate purposes, but we should not let these assumptions blur our minds and judge them as evil people. We could say they are evil if we already have solid proof." Pope John wisely advises Admiral Khalid and Hussein not to respond negatively before they have solid proof.

"Mr. Ibrahim, how long we will arrive at the Darussalam port?" Hussein asks about the range and time to arrive at Darussalam port.

"If we used our ships, we would arrive in fourteen days. However, I did not know how long we could arrive using this fast ship." Ibrahim responds.

"Based on the range of 2500 nautical miles, we could arrive in four days if there is no problem during the sailing." Admiral Khalid explained the estimated time.

"All right, gentlemen, please enjoy the VIP facilities of UTS Jerusalem." Admiral Khalid invited the representative members.

UTS Jerusalem, 50 NM from the Darussalam shore, 23 February 2141/ 23 Februarius 1841, 06:52 pm

Fifty nautical miles before Darussalam port, Caliphate Royal Navy (CRN) ships welcome and greet the UTS Darussalam.

"Ahlan wa sahlan (Welcome) in Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate, My name is Khair al-Din, Admiral of Caliphate Royal Navy. May peace be upon you." Admiral Khair al-Din welcomes the representatives of United Terran.

"Walaikum assalam. My name is Khalid bin Walid, and I am an admiral of UTS Jerusalem. Nice to meet you." Admiral Khalid's response.

"We will escort your mighty metal ship with our proud ships." Admiral Khair was proud to escort the UTS Jerusalem with his wooden ship.

"Come, let us go to the VIP room, and we will give you our best treatment." Admiral Khalid let Admiral Khair join the United Terran diplomatic team representatives in UTS Jerusalem's VIP rooms.

After entering the VIP room, Admiral Khair introduced himself again.

"Greetings, May peace be upon you. My name is Khair al-Din, Admiral of the Caliphate Royal Navy."

"Walaikum assalam. I am Sharif Hussein bin Ali, a diplomat from the United Terran and diplomatic team leader of United Terran to Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate." Hussein introduced himself as a diplomat and team leader of the diplomatic team from the United Terran.

When he saw Pope John V, Admiral Khair was surprised, and suddenly, he was ready to unsheathe his sword. Knowing the danger, the Papal Guard and bodyguards released the safety of plasma assault rifles and aimed them at Admiral Khair.

"How? How the evil leader of the Holy Kingdom is here? Are United Terran collaborate with the Holy Kingdom?" Admiral Khair tries to threaten while brandishing the sword.

"Admiral Khair, unsheathe your sword. This person is Pope John Paul V, one of the United Terran leaders, not the Holy Kingdom's leader." Ambassador Ibrahim warns Admiral Khair to unsheathe his sword.

"Relax, my child. All of you, please down your weapons. Let us calm ourselves, and we can get to know each other. Do not let us astray like a lost sheep." Pope John V calmly and wisely persuaded the people to calm themselves and know each other.

After all the people calm themselves, Hussein ask Admiral Khair about this Holy Kingdom.

"Admiral Khair, could you explain the Holy Kingdom you said? Why did you say that Pope John V is the evil leader of the Holy Kingdom." Hussein asks Admiral Khair.

After calming himself, Admiral Khair explained why he said Pope John V was the leader of the Holy Kingdom.

"First of all, I am sorry because I thought you were the leader of the Holy Kingdom based on your attributes, which are similar to those of the leader of the Holy Kingdom. We are in a Holy War with Imperio Estelar, backed by the Holy Kingdom. The Holy Kingdom wants us to give them the Holy Body of the Prophet, but when we asked why they want it, they refused to give us the reason. They even threaten us and will declare Holy War on us. Even though we are weaker than the Holy Kingdom and Imperio Estelar, we will not surrender and will fight. We believe Allah will help us." Admiral Khair explained.

"So you are under Holy War against this Holy Kingdom and Imperio Estelar, despite you being weaker than them. Why do you still insist on defending the Holy Body and sacrificing your people?" Hussein asks again.

"Mr. Hussein, The Holy Body of the Prophet is our nation's treasure and Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate's faith. We are not afraid of death because, after the dead, we will get to the Jannah (Heaven) if we fight for Allah. Then, we believe the help of Allah will come if we fight for Him. Seven months ago, the archwizard of the Caliphate got the excellent omen that Allah would send His emissary to help us repel the Infidels of the Holy Kingdom and Imperio Estelar." Admiral Khair explained that God would help them.

Hussein had a deep thought and simulated that if the Holy Body of Jesus/Isa or Muhammad were still preserved on Earth, the wars and battles of the Holy War and Crusade would be more brutal and devastating because the Muslims and Christians would claim and defend the Holy Body.

"Seven months ago? It was at the same time as the United Terran transference to Luminarum. So, based on your archwizard omen, the help of Allah to fight against the Holy Kingdom and Imperio Estelar is us, United Terran?" Hussein was surprised after hearing the reason and the assumption that United Terran was the help of the Caliphate.

"Yes, even the Imams always pray to wait for the coming of our savior. Last month, Mr. Ibrahim reported that he successfully met the alien nation's representatives with similar signs." Admiral Khair explains.

"Sign? What kind of sign, Admiral Khair and Mr. Ibrahim? Please elaborate with us." Hussein asked Admiral Khair and Ibrahim.

"First, they will come to free the enslaved people and help the weak against the strong. Second, they are peaceful nations but have strong power. Third, they are similar to our Brothers and Sisters in faith who believe in one God; even though our religion is a bit different, we have the same values. Fourth, their wise leader loved his people and did not want to abuse them arbitrarily. The last is they will rescue us from the Devil's attack in the future." Ibrahim explained about the sign.

"Devil? What is the meaning of a devil attack in the future? United Terran has this sign for the first to fourth. However, we did not know about this Devil attack for the last sign." Hussein explained that United Terran has some signs.

"We know that our savior is United Terran. We believe your nation will help us against Devil attacks in the future," Ibrahim explained.

Hussein and Pope John V have the same profound thoughts. Is this Devil similar to the divination of Japanese Onmyouji about the arrival of their evil brothers and sisters in the evil nations similar to Japan? Or will a more terrifying existence descend into this world and cause its destruction?

"All right, Gentlemen. Let us enjoy the VIP treatment of our crew. Please tell the chef and our soldiers." Admiral Khalid tried to calm the situation by enjoying the VIP treatment of UTS Jerusalem.

Finally, the situation is calmed, and the VIP guests enjoy the VIP treatment of UTS Jerusalem.

Because Dawlat Al-Nur's maximum speed is only 8 knots, UTS Enterprise must heavily suppress its engines to match the speed of the Dawlat Al-Nur ship. Because the speed is slow, the time of arrival will be delayed. However, the VIP guests use this delay to learn about each other.

Darussalam City Port, Darussalam City, Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate, 23 February 2141/ 23 Februarius 1841, 09:00 pm

After embarking, Hussein and Pope John V were escorted by the royal guard of Caliph to the Royal Hotel. During the road, like in Baghdad during the Abbasid Caliphate age, Hussein and Pope John V were amazed by the beauty and gorgeous of the medieval Middle East.

In the dark alley in Darussalam City, several people with black clothes cover their faces. They are the agents from ظلام داكن (Thulam Dakkun) or Dark Shadow, famous for infiltration, information gathering and assassination. The fundamental main objective of Thulam Dakkun is to kill the Caliph, Wazir (Prime Minister), Sultan (King), Emir (Governor), and nobles in the Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate.

Before taking action, they inhale the stupor of Hashish or oleoresin from the cannabis plant, which contains cannabidiol (CBD), cannabinol (CBN), and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) [3]. These substances give the effect of altered feeling in the sense (the ability to see colors, hear sounds, and taste food more clearly), as a result of the drug increasing the activity of the senses) [4]. They also used hashish "in stupefying candidates for the ephemeral visit to paradise" to encourage the agent before taking their mission [5].

Imperio Estelar hired Thulam Dakkun to obtain information and kill Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate's essential persons. They also get the magic weapons from Imperio Estelar to improve their success in assassination missions.

"Waahid, we got information from Tsalaatsa that an unknown nation sent its diplomatic members to the Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate. What is your order?" Itsnaa report to Waahid the team leaders of Thulam Dakkun.

"First, we must know about this unknown nation and gather the information of these diplomatic members. If we have a chance, we try to kill the diplomatic members to cause problems and friction between Dawlat Al-Nur and this unknown nation. If the diplomat were killed in a foreign nation, they would ask for responsibility and maybe declare war on Dawlat Al-Nur. If that happens, Imperio Estelar will join, the destruction of Dawlat Al-Nur will fasten, and our mission will succeed." Waahid orders his members to take action for this unknown nation.

"However, this unknown nation has weapons that resemble rifles from hyperpower nations. Their bodyguards look strong, and their defense protocol is strict. I suggest to surveillance the condition and look the chance to kill the diplomatic members." Tsaalatsa reports on the power of the unknown nation.

"If you said true, this nation may be modern, and the possibility of their good counterintelligence action similar to the People's Republic of Uroslav and the United States of Amarilon. We can not take a risk, but if some of you want to try, I will give you a new product from the People's Republic of Uroslav through our client in Imperio Estelar to stimulate our power before taking missions." Waahid gives a sample of the new product.

"What is the effect of this drug, Waahid? Itsnaa asks the question about the new drug.

"I do not know, but if we consume this, we will energize and improve our focus. This drug is more potent than our Hashish." Waahid response.

"We need to observe the condition before taking an assassination mission. We can not lose our agent here and uncover our intervention in this war. Even our target is an unknown powerful nation similar to hyperpower nations." Tsaalatsa said.

"I agree with Tsaalatsa, and we must observe first and calculate the risk." Itsnaa response.

"All right, we will observe first. If we find some chance, we will take action. I want to test this drug on our members to learn its effects." Waahid orders.

Unknown to them, their conversation is already being watched by nano drones specialized in surveillance.

Caliphate Royal Hotel Darussalam City, Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate, 24 February 2141/ 24 Februarius 1841, 09:00 am

In the hotel, Sharif Husein, Pope John Paul V, and diplomatic members of the United Terran meet online through holographic calls with United Terran leaderboards.

"Good day, Ladies and Gentlemen. Today, we will discuss the plan for the Third Novus Ordo project in Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate. Keep in mind that this nation is similar to the Islamic Abbasid Caliphate. We could have rejection from their conservative and radical faction about the modernization, so approach this project carefully to reduce damage and casualties in both nations." Hugo opened the meeting.

"First, I want to ask Professor Oliver about the potential resources of Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate. Do you have data about their natural resources, especially unexplored mineral mines, oil and gas wells?" Hugo asked Professor Oliver.

"Based on the satellite data, we detected several huge oil and gas sources in the Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate. We estimated that the oil and gas reserves are more than those in the United Terran and Fortisregnum Empire. We estimated the oil reserve to be more than 9,900 trillion barrels. We estimated the natural gas in Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate reserves over tens of millions of cubic kilometers (km^3). Fortunately, the sources are still unexplored so that we could propose a collaboration for exploration, drilling, and extraction. We also detected mineral mines such as gold, silver, copper, aluminum, and zinc." Professor Oliver's report.

"Wow, that is huge. This Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate is the real alternative to the Middle East. Even though our energy technology sources are nuclear, hydrogen, fuel cell, and other renewable energy, we could still process oil and natural gas for nations below our technology. Thank you, Professor Oliver. Sharif Hussein, what do you think about this Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate? What kind of their nation? Could we establish a diplomatic relationship, economic treaty, or even alliance with them?" Hugo asked Hussein about the condition of Dawlat Al-Nur.

"Based on the information of Mr. Ibrahim and Admiral Khair, the Caliph of Dawlat Al-Nur is a wise leader. In his leadership, they could maintain peace and improve in magic technology. However, because of the preservation of the Holy Body of the Prophet in their Caliphate, they are in a Cold War with Imperium Estelar, or what they call Holy War." Hussein's report about Dawlat Al-Nur's conditions.

"Thank you, Sharif Husein. If we establish a relationship with the Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate, we will be dragged into their Cold War and maybe open war. For now, we only establish diplomatic relationships and economic treaties," Hugo responds.

"Wei Ming, how about estimating capital index (Capex) to construct oil and gas exploration, drilling, extraction, and refining facilities in Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate?" Hugo asked Zhuge Wei Ming, Head of the Department of Public Work and Transport.

"Secretary General, unlike Novacara Empire, we only construct exploration, extraction, and support facilities for industries because they are hostile to us and under Imperio Estelar's influence. We would construct more facilities in Darussalam city, the Capital City of Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate, because they are more peaceful, even though there is the possibility of war between them and Imperio Estelar." Wei Ming explains about the construction in Dawlat Al-Nur.

"From the satellite data, we estimated one hundred oil and gas reservoirs in Dawlat Al-Nur. For advanced and autonomous facilities in the 21st century for oil and gas exploration, drilling, and extraction, we need at least $500 million to $750 million. For support facilities, at least we need $300 - 500 million. The total Capex for one area facility is at least $1 – 2 billion. So, we need at least $100 – 200 billion to explore all oil and gas reserves in Dawlat Al-Nur." Wei Ming explains the Capex for constructing exploration, drilling, and extracting oil and gas facilities, including supporting infrastructure.

"How about the Capex to modernized infrastructure around Darussalam City? We could use the same technology as in the Fortisregnum Empire for the construction." Hugo asked Wei Ming again

"If we used facilities similar to those we constructed in Fortisregnum Empire, we would need at least $40 – 50 billion. So, the total capex for all infrastructure is at least $50 billion," Wei Ming responded.

"All right, Wei Ming, please coordinate with Sari to prepare the funds for construction in Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate."

"Secretary General. Could we propose a collaboration to learn about the Holy Body in the Dawlat Al-Nur? We know this is a treasure and secret of the Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate, but this is an opportunity to research a preserved body of the saint. Even though they call the Holy Body "Yeshua" or Jesus in Aramaic language, I am sure this Holy Body is not the actual body of the Son of God in our world. So, this Holy Body will not impact the Christian Faith in our United Terran." Pope John Paul V requested to Secretary General Hugo to research the Holy Body.

"I will approve everything for improvement in technology and science, Your Holiness. However, this Holy Body is the treasure and secret of the Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate. We need their approval and permission to research this Holy Body. Maybe we could give them a transfer technology similar to the Fortisregnum Empire to gain their trust so we could research the Holy Body. So, based on your request, we must establish an alliance with Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate. Your Holiness?" Hugo explains the possibility of technology exchange for the research of the Holy Body.

"Yes, Secretary General. We could establish an alliance with them to gain their trust, so we will get permission to research the Holy Body. We could try to mediate peace between the Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate and Imperio Estelar. We must spread peace and love, not war in this world, Secretary General." Pope John wants to spread peace and love in this world. He also wants United Terran to mediate the conflict between the Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate and Imperio Estelar.

"I agree with you, Your Holiness. We must spread peace and love in this world. However, based on our intelligence data, this Imperio Estelar is an imperialist nation. They will try to conquer and annex neighboring nations through conflict and wars. I doubt we could become the mediator to regain peace with the imperialist nation. They only bowed to the powerful military." Hugo explains his doubts about gaining peace with imperialist nations such as Imperio Estelar.

"Even though there is a possibility we are dragged to their conflict and we must join the insignificant war, please reduce the casualties, especially the civilian casualties, as low as possible. I do not want a war similar to WWIII to happen again." Pope John begged Hugo to prevent the war, and if the United Terran joined the war, they must reduce the casualties, especially the civilian casualties. Even Pope John, one the highest leaders in the United Terran, begged Hugo because he did not want the innocent people to become casualties in the war.

"Rest assured, Your Holiness. Even if we must dragged to the war, we try to reduce the civilian casualties as long as possible. The blood of the people in my hand." Hugo responds that he has a great responsibility as the highest leader in the United Terran.

"To reduce the casualties on our side, we could export our antique weapons and equipment, similar to Fortisregnum Empire, to Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate. Even though I prefer peace to war, this export will allow our weapon industry to operate to prepare for future wars." Hugo continues to explain.

"Secretary General, we got information based on intelligence data that a faction in Dawlat Al-Nur, which collaborates with Imperio Estelar, will launch the assassination of Dawlat Al-Nur leaders, and they are waiting a chance to kill our diplomat to sow discord between us and Dawlat Al-Nur." William Bond, Head of the International Secret Intelligence Agency, reported about the possibility of assassins in Dawlat Al-Nur, and they also wanted to assassinate the diplomat team members of the United Terran

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"Two of my most hateful are Traitors and assassins. They even try to assassinate our diplomat and Your Holiness. William, I want you to capture them at all costs. Obtain information as many as you can. You are free to engage them. If they did not have use for our plan, execute and dispose of all of them." Hugo orders William with a cold expression.

"Yes, Sir. Loyalty to the people, Loyalty to the United Terran. The work for United Terran is the secret of intelligence. We shall know the truth, and the truth shall make us free." William responds by citing the United Terran International Secret Intelligence Agency motto.

Every Hugo gives significant orders with a severe and cold expression, and William always answers them by citing the motto of the United Terran International Secret Intelligence Agency. This action indicates that Hugo wants William and UT ISIA agents to conduct the mission with the highest threat level. Failure is not an option.

"Remember, William, failure is not an option at this time. Even if our agents cannot capture them, they can engage and execute them immediately. I approve of you conducting a black ops operation to secure and clear the pests in Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate even without the approval of the Caliph." Hugo reminds William about the serious threats.

"Yes, Sir. Loyalty to the people, Loyalty to the United Terran. The work for United Terran is the secret of intelligence. We shall know the truth, and the truth shall make us free." William responds by citing the United Terran International Secret Intelligence Agency motto again.

"Good, we will wait for your good news. All right, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for your work. We hope the Third Novus Ordo Project is a success like the first. Sharif Hussein and Your Holiness, please be careful when conducting a diplomatic mission in Dawlat Al-Nur. UT SF will protect you in light and UT ISIA in the dark. However, it would still be best to prepare for the uncertain possibility. May God bless United Terran." Hugo closed the leaderboards meeting.

Dar al-Khilafah (Palace of the Caliph), Darussalam City, Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate, 25 February 2141/ 25 Februarius 1841, 09:00 am

Sharif Hussein bin Ali, Pope John Paul V, and Ibrahim Al-Farsi enter the Dar al-Khilafah to meet Caliph Umar al-Rashid or Umar the Just.

Upon entering Dar al-Khilafah, Sharif Hussein bin Ali, Pope John Paul V, and Ibrahim Al-Farsi were greeted by a sense of grandeur that surrounded them. The palace's architecture spoke of centuries of history and tradition of the Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate, reminiscent of the golden age of the Abbasid Caliphate.

As they were led through the ornate halls adorned with intricate patterns and lavish decorations, they could not help but be in awe of their surroundings' magnificence.

Finally, they reached the chambers where Caliph Umar al-Rashid awaited them. The atmosphere was solemn yet welcoming as they entered, and they were met with the Caliph seated upon a simple and old throne and draped in simple fabrics. They could look at the nation's leader in simple attributes, but they could feel the humility and aura of the leaders from Caliph Umar al-Rashid.

"Welcome, esteemed guests from the United Terran. "Peace" is a word from a Merciful Lord. May peace be upon you," Caliph Umar greeted them warmly.

"It is an honor to receive such distinguished visitors in our humble abode. Please come and join me." Caliph Umar invites the diplomatic teams to a simple round table for discussion.

Sharif Hussein, Pope John V, and Ibrahim approached the Caliph respectfully, acknowledging his presence with a bow of their heads.

"May peace be upon you, too. Thank you, Amir al-Mu'minin, for welcoming us," Hussein spoke first, his voice filled with reverence.

"We come on behalf of the United Terran to extend our hand in friendship and cooperation between our nations," Husein says about the purpose of the diplomatic teams of United Terran coming to Dawlat Al-Nur.

Pope John V nodded in agreement, adding, "Indeed, Your Majesty. We have heard of the prosperity and wisdom of the Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate, and we hope that through dialogue and understanding, we may forge a bond that benefits both our peoples."

Caliph Umar listened attentively, his expression thoughtful yet welcoming. "I am pleased to hear such words," he replied.

"It has long been my desire to see harmony and cooperation among nations, regardless of differences in faith or culture. However, How do you call me Amir al-Mu'minin, Mr. Hussein? How do you know the calling of the previous Caliph a long time ago? Just call me Umar. Do not use the honorific title like Amir al-Mu'minin or Your Majesty, I am not Emperor, I am merely a servant of the people of the Caliphate." Umar humbly requests not to use Amir al-Mu'minin or Your Majesty to call him because he is only the servant of his people.

"That throne is only for the Emperor, not me, so I am here at the same height as you in this humble table and chair. I want to get rid of that throne, but the throne is the legacy of the previous and the founder of the Caliph. So, we preserve that throne, and I use that humble table and chair for my work." Umar told the United Terran representatives why he did not use the throne.

"I see. We will call you Caliph Umar, starting now." Hussein response.

Ibrahim Al-Farsi, the diplomat representing the Caliphate, spoke next. "Caliph Umar, the representative of United Terran, also came bearing a message of peace and goodwill for our people. They seek to build bridges of understanding and mutual respect, recognizing that diversity is a strength to be celebrated."

The Caliph nodded in appreciation. "Indeed, Mr. Ibrahim. It is through embracing diversity and fostering dialogue that we may overcome the challenges that lie ahead. Let us work together towards a future of peace and prosperity for all."

"Caliph Umar, we are coming here to establish the diplomatic relationship between United Terran and Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate. After that, we could discuss an economic treaty and other collaborations to develop our relationship," Hussein explained.

Caliph Umar listened intently to Hussein's proposal, nodding thoughtfully as he considered the potential for cooperation between the Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate and the United Terran. Establishing formal diplomatic relations resonated with him, as did the idea of modern infrastructure development.

"I believe establishing formal diplomatic relations would indeed be a crucial first step," Caliph Umar remarked, his tone measured yet hopeful. "Such relations would pave the way for greater collaboration and understanding between our nations."

He turned to Ibrahim, his trusted diplomat, and exchanged a glance before continuing. "Ibrahim, please convey our willingness to engage in discussions with the leadership of the United Terran regarding this matter. Emphasize the importance of dialogue and cooperation in building a brighter future for all."

Ibrahim nodded in acknowledgment, ready to undertake the task entrusted to him. "Of course, Caliph Umar. I will ensure our message is conveyed promptly and clearly to the appropriate authorities within the United Terran."

Hussein interjected, his voice calm yet earnest. "Indeed, cooperation in modern infrastructure development could benefit our people immensely. Through such initiatives, we can foster economic growth and improve the lives of countless individuals. Based on our leaderboard discussion yesterday, we will invest in and construct a modernized infrastructure outside the Darussalam city wall. We will use the design in Aeterna City, Fortisregnum Empire, to construct the civilian building in Darussalam City. We also propose collaboration between two nations to explore, drill, and extract the oil and gas in Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate." Hussein reports about the potential economic treaty and modern construction in Dawlat Al-Nur.

Caliph Umar inclined his head in agreement. "You speak wisely, Mr. Hussein. The development of modern infrastructure holds the promise of prosperity and advancement for our societies. Let us proceed with cautious optimism and a commitment to mutual respect and understanding. Yes, we will accept the good news and proposal from your leaderboard. By the way, what is Oil and Gas? Do you mean black water, which is what hyperpower and superpowers need for their fuel? If so, how much do you need? How much gold do we need to repay for this modernization construction? Could we use this black water to repay your investment?" Caliph Umar responds.

"Yes, You are right, Caliph Umar. Oil is Black Water, and gas is similar to oil, which becomes the fuel source for some technology. Based on our calculation, we need at least $2 billion to construct infrastructure to explore, drill, extract, and refine crude oil, including supporting facilities such as apartments, hospitals, malls, etc. We need at least $50 billion for civilian infrastructures around Darussalam City. With the conversion of 1 Dawlat al-Nur Gold Coin (DNGC) equivalent to $0.825, we need 2.42 billion DNGC for exploring, drilling, extracting, and refining crude oil and gas facilities. We found at least one hundred oil and gas sources, so we need $200 billion or 242.43 billion DNGC. We need $50 billion or 60.61 billion DNGC for civilian infrastructure around Darussalam City. So the total of Capex is at least $250 billion or 301 billion DNGC." Hussein explains about the Capex to construct the facilities and modern infrastructure.

"God is Mighty, and the amount of DNGC is tremendously huge. The GDP of Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate was only 250 billion DNGC. The Capex is more than our GDP." Caliph Umar's response.

"Rest assured, Caliph Umar. United Terran will fund all the investments. However, we will take 80% of the profit because your nation cannot explore, drill, extract, and refine the oil and gas. After your people and companies can operate for your nation, we will reduce to 70% until the repayment is finished. After the repayment is finished, we will negotiate again in the future. Remember this, Caliph Umar. We will only explore your uninhibited and harsh conditions area in the desert. Also, we will construct small cities around the oil and gas facilities to support the workers' quality of life, which will be connected to your capital through modern concrete public roads. This investment will improve the quality of life of your people." Hussein explains.

"I understand, Sharif Hussein. As long as the United Terran does not threaten and improve the quality of our people, I will agree." Caliph Umar answered.

"Caliph Umar, there is one request from me. Could you give us approval to research the Holy Body? In my Faith, Yeshua is God's Son and the Incarnation. For Muslims, He is the Prophet of God. We know that Yeshua in this world is different from our Jesus, but our scientists want to research it. Rest assured, our research will not affect the Holy Body, and we will care while researching it." Pope John requested research on the Holy Body.

"If we reject this request, could you cancel the economic investment?" Caliph Umar carefully asked about the Holy Body's request.

"No, even if you reject my request, the investment will continue." Pope John responds.

"I can not answer now because I must discuss it with my Viziers and the Imams first. Could you give me one month for our discussion?" Caliph Umar asked about the time for discussion.

"Yes, Caliph Umar. We can give you one month before answering my request." Pope John responds.

"Thank you, Pope John. In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. I, Umar al-Rashid, servant of people, declare that Dawlat Al-Nur Caliphate formally establishes a diplomatic relationship and accepts the economic treaties." Caliph Umar declared the diplomatic relationship and signed the treaty

"On behalf of the United Terran people, I, Sharif Hussein bin Ali, signed the diplomatic relationship and economic treaty between United Terran and Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate." Hussein signed the treaty.

"Caliph Umar, Your Holiness, and Mr. Hussein, please stand here, and we will take a picture of our document and prove our collaboration," Uthman, Hussein's bodyguard, takes pictures of the diplomatic and first historical diplomatic relationship between the United Terran and Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate.

After the photo session, Caliph Umar, Pope John Paul V, and Sharif Hussein bin Ali continue their discussion in an informal talk. Caliph Umar also invited them to tour Darussalam City. Unlike other nation leaders whose bodyguards guard, Caliph Umar guides the United Terran diplomatic teams without bodyguards. He is a strong magic wielder Caliph who can protect himself. Even though Caliph Umar is a strong person, the bodyguards from UT ISF have additional jobs to protect Caliph Umar from the unknown assassination of another faction.

House of Wisdom, Darussalam City, 25 February 2141/ 25 Februarius 1841, 01:00 pm

Caliph Umar guides Sharif Hussein and Pope John V to the House of Wisdom, the palace full of knowledge about magic and the history of the world. At the same time, Caliph Umar tells about the knowledge and history of Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate, and Hussein learns about the magic knowledge, especially light and black magic.

Figure 3. The art style of the library in House of Wisdom [6]

As they walked through the hallowed halls of the House of Wisdom, Caliph Umar led Sharif Hussein and Pope John V to chambers filled with ancient tomes and scrolls, each containing the accumulated wisdom of generations past. The air hummed mystically, and the enchanted lanterns' soft glow illuminated the vast knowledge repository.

"Here, in the House of Wisdom, we have preserved the teachings of our forefathers, spanning centuries of enlightenment and discovery," Caliph Umar explained, gesturing towards the shelves lined with ancient manuscripts.

Sharif Hussein's eyes widened in wonder as he beheld the wealth of knowledge surrounding him. "Truly, this is a treasure trove of wisdom. We cannot find this type of kinds of literature in United Terran because we only relied on science and technology, not magic, " he remarked, his voice filled with awe.

Pope John V nodded in agreement, his gaze sweeping over the shelves of books. "It is a testament to the enduring quest for understanding that has guided humanity throughout the ages in this world. Unfortunately, old Holy Fathers persecuted people with advanced science at that time and claimed them as witches, wizards, or magic users. Maybe if the persecution does not happen and the Church is aware of the science more early, today we will have more advanced technology. " he added, his tone reverent but a bit disappointed because the past mistake hindered the progress of science and technology because of the persecution in the name of magic.

Caliph Umar smiled warmly at their reactions, his eyes gleaming with pride. "Indeed, pursuing knowledge, especially in magic technology, has always been a cornerstone of our civilization. So, there is the possibility of magic in your old world, Pope John?" Caliph Umar asked Pope John V.

"I do not know, and maybe there was the possibility of magic in our previous world. However, the Church persecutes them because they think the magic users are heresy and will be condemned in Hell. In another view, magic may not exist in our old world. The term "magic" was something of science and technology that people did not understand then and simplified to magic." Pope John V explained the possibility of magic in the old world, even though he could not prove it because of limited data.

"Yes, one of the science fiction writers said, 'Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.' Just like you saw our technology, maybe if we did not explain in terms of science, you would say our advanced technology used magic." Hussein added the explanation.

"I see. Thank you for your explanation. I hope we can collaborate between our nations to learn from each other. You will learn about magic, and we will learn about science and technology." Caliph Umar responds.

"Come this way, Sharif Hussein and Pope John. Our House of Wisdom contains the source of magic in our Caliphate and worldwide. We have a lot of information about magic and its type. However, amidst the vast array of subjects housed within these walls, a particular branch of magic may interest you, Mr. Hussein and Pope John. This section describes light magic." Caliph Umar explains.

Hussein turned to Caliph Umar, his curiosity piqued. "Light magic?" he inquired, his interest evident.

Caliph Umar nodded, leading them to a library section dedicated to studying light magic. "Light magic is a sacred art that harnesses the power of illumination and purity," he explained, selecting a tome bound in gilded leather.

Opening the ancient book, Caliph Umar began to expound upon the principles of light magic, its applications, and its significance within the Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate. He described how practitioners of light magic could channel divine energy to heal, protect, and illuminate darkness.

"As custodians of light magic, we strive to use its power for the betterment of our people and the world," Caliph Umar said solemnly, his voice resonating with conviction.

"We could use light magic to heal the wounds on the people. Please look at this." Caliph Umar sliced his arm, and the open wound released the fresh blood.

Then, Caliph Umar enchanted words similar to praying for God in Aramaic language to heal the wound. Suddenly, the blood is stopped, and the wound regenerates until the wounds heal.

"The light magic is the magic from God through His Angels and teaching the Prophets as their miracle. The prophets then teach this light magic to the Saints. Because from God, light magic uses the Greatest Name of God, or we call it 'Ism al-Adham.' The effect of light magic is based on the faith and magic power of the users. The more pious and stronger a person is, the stronger the effect of their light magic is. We could derive the elemental, time, and space magic from light magic." Caliph Umar explains the source of light magic.

"The light magic becomes the source of elemental magic such as fire, water, wind, and earth magic. We could combine some elements to generate a new type of magic. For example, we could combine water and wind magic to generate ice magic or cloud magic based on water and air magic composition and earth and fire magic to generate lava magic or metal magic based on the composition of fire magic. The combination of magic needs a deep understanding of nature because magic still obeys the law of nature. After all, its source is based on knowledge from God." Caliph Umar explains more about elemental magic.

Hussein listened intently, absorbing the knowledge imparted by the Caliph. As he delved deeper into the intricacies of light magic, he felt a sense of reverence for the ancient art and its practitioners.

"Aside from elemental magic, there exists a realm of advanced applications that extend beyond the basic manipulation of natural elements," Caliph Umar continued, his voice resonating with authority. "These are the advanced elemental magics, which require not only a deep understanding of the elements but also a profound mastery of magical principles."

He gestured towards a series of scrolls and books in Aramaic language adorned with intricate symbols and diagrams, each representing a different branch of advanced elemental magic. "Among these scrolls, you will find knowledge about sub-elements, celestial magic, and even the manipulation of fundamental forces."

"Sub-elements delve into the finer nuances of elemental manipulation, allowing practitioners to harness more specialized forms of magic. For instance, within the realm of fire magic, one can explore the sub-element of plasma, which represents the most energetic state of matter. Similarly, within water magic, practitioners can delve into the sub-element of ice, mastering the control over frozen water with unparalleled precision." Caliph Umar explained.

After hearing about plasma magic, Hussein was surprised that Caliph Umar knew about plasma but in terms of magic, not science and technology. He assumes there is the possibility for collaboration and integration between magic, science, and technology.

Caliph Umar paused, allowing his words to sink in before continuing. "Celestial magic, on the other hand, involves the manipulation of cosmic energies and celestial bodies. This branch of magic allows practitioners to draw power from the stars, the moon, and even the sun. Through celestial magic, one can influence the tides, manipulate weather patterns, and even commune with celestial beings." Caliph Umar explained about Celestial magic.

Celestial magic resembles Qi's spiritual control of the Tianlong Empire and cultivators. Hussein is interested in learning about celestial magics to prepare against the cultivators in the Tianlong Empire if they are hostile against the United Terran.

"Manipulating fundamental forces delves into the fabric of reality itself. Practitioners of this advanced magic can bend space and time, manipulate gravity, and even unravel the mysteries of quantum mechanics. However, such mastery comes with great responsibility, as the consequences of tampering with fundamental forces can be profound and far-reaching." Caliph Umar explains fundamental force manipulation magic.

After hearing about manipulating fundamental forces through magic, Hussein is interested that Professor Oliver and his Department of Science and Technology departments will be happy to learn this magic. They will integrate this magic to learn about the construction of advanced technology such as anti-gravity with repulsor lift, modification of space and time to create a time machine, and other advanced technology.

Caliph Umar's gaze swept over his guests, gauging their reactions to the vast array of knowledge laid before them. "These are but glimpses into the boundless potential of advanced elemental magic. With dedication, study, and unwavering faith, one can unlock the secrets of the universe and wield its power for the betterment of all." Caliph Umar explained the potential of advanced magic.

Hussein's mind buzzed with excitement as Caliph Umar elucidated the intricacies of advanced elemental magic. His curiosity piqued, and he could not help but inquire further.

"Caliph Umar," Hussein began, his voice laced with eagerness, "you mentioned the manipulation of fundamental forces, particularly regarding space and time. This concept is intriguing to me. Could you elaborate on how practitioners of magic control such fundamental aspects of reality?"

Caliph Umar regarded Hussein thoughtfully before responding, "Manipulating space and time is one of the most complex and profound forms of magic. It involves tapping into the very fabric of the universe and bending it to one's will. God must approve This magic because if He said, 'Be,' so be it. This magic was usually given to the Prophet as a miracle from God. However, a Saint with high magic power and pious miraculous will be able to control this magic." Caliph Umar explains how to manipulate space and time magic.

He paused momentarily, gathering his thoughts before continuing, "Practitioners of this advanced magic can alter the flow of time, compress or expand space, and even create pocket dimensions. They can teleport across vast distances instantly or manipulate the trajectory of celestial bodies. However, the possibility of acquiring this kind of magic is very low because the user must be robust and pious enough. If someone has potential power magic but is not pious, they have a possibility to fall to the dark magic, the magic from the Great Devil. Humans with dark magic become the enemy of humanity because they became the agents of devils to destroy and traitors of Humankind." Caliph Umar explained the possibility of human falls to the dark magic, magic sources from the Great Devil.

Hussein listened intently, his mind racing with possibilities. "If such abilities could be harnessed and integrated into our technology," he mused aloud, "we could revolutionize space travel, create instantaneous communication across vast distances, and perhaps even unlock the secrets of the cosmos."

Caliph Umar nodded in agreement. "Indeed, the potential for integrating advanced magic and science technology is vast. By combining the ancient wisdom of magic with the innovative spirit of science, we could achieve feats that were once thought impossible."

Pope John V, who had been silently absorbing the conversation, spoke up. "It is a convergence of knowledge and understanding, a union of the mystical and the rational. Perhaps through collaboration and shared learning, we can transcend the limitations of our respective disciplines and embark on a journey of discovery unlike any other."

Hussein nodded in agreement, his excitement palpable. "I look forward to the possibilities that lie ahead. Together, we can unlock the mysteries of the universe and forge a future where magic and technology coexist in harmony."

Piqued by the discussion, Pope John V turned to Caliph Umar with a furrowed brow. "Caliph Umar, you spoke of light magic as a force for good, a gift from God channeled through the righteous. But what of dark magic? Is it also a part of this world, and if so, how does it differ from the magic you have described?"

Caliph Umar's expression grew solemn as he considered the question. "Dark magic, as you have mentioned, does indeed exist, though it is a perversion of the divine gift of magic. It originates from the Great Devil, the adversary of God and humanity. Unlike light magic, which draws its power from purity and righteousness, dark magic is fueled by corruption and malevolence." Caliph Umar explained more about dark magic.

He gestured towards another section of the library, where shelves held grim-looking tomes bound in dark leather. "These volumes contain knowledge of dark magic, its rituals, and its practitioners. Those who wield dark magic seek power for selfish ends, often at the expense of others. They twist the natural order, sow chaos and destruction, and become agents of darkness."

Sharif Hussein's brow furrowed in concern as he listened to Caliph Umar's explanation. "Is there a way to distinguish between light and dark magic practitioners? How do you prevent the misuse of dark magic?"

Caliph Umar nodded gravely. "Discerning between light and dark magic can be challenging, as both may manifest similar effects. However, the intent and source of the magic often reveal its nature. Light magic is born from faith, piety, and a desire to serve others, while dark magic stems from greed, ambition, and malevolence."

He paused, his gaze turning somber. "To prevent the misuse of dark magic, we must remain vigilant and uphold the teachings of righteousness. Our scholars and guardians are trained to identify and confront practitioners of dark magic, rooting out corruption wherever it may arise. Additionally, fostering a society built on compassion, justice, and ethical conduct helps mitigate the allure of dark magic."

Pope John V listened intently, his mind grappling with the implications of dark magic. "It is a sobering reminder of the dangers that accompany great power," he remarked, his voice tinged with concern. "In our world, too, individuals have sought forbidden knowledge and wielded it for nefarious purposes. It is incumbent upon us to remain vigilant and uphold the values of righteousness and compassion."

Caliph Umar nodded in agreement. "Indeed, pursuing knowledge must always be tempered by moral and ethical considerations. By fostering collaboration and understanding between our nations, we can combat the forces of darkness and ensure a brighter future for all."

The three men shared a solemn resolve to safeguard the world against the dangers of dark magic and uphold the principles of light, knowledge, and righteousness. In their quest for enlightenment, they found unity and strength, bound by a shared vision of a world where magic and science coexist in harmony and humanity stands united against the forces of darkness.

Hussein's curiosity was piqued further as he considered the hierarchy of wizards within the Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate. Turning to Caliph Umar, he asked about the level of wizards in the Caliphate.

"Caliph Umar, could you mention the hierarchy of wizards within your Caliphate? Could you elaborate on the distinctions between these levels of mastery and what it takes to ascend to the rank of archwizard?" Hussein asked about the level of mastery of the magic in the Dawlat al-Nur Caliphate.

Caliph Umar nodded, acknowledging Hussein's question. "Indeed, the hierarchy of wizards within our Caliphate is structured to reflect mastery and expertise in the arcane arts. At the foundation are the students of magic, ranging from levels one to three." Caliph Umar responds.

He gestured towards a section of the library where scrolls detailing the curriculum of magic schools were housed. "Level one to three wizards are students in our magic schools, classified as ordinary students in level one, intelligent students in level two, and genius students in level three. These students are taught the fundamentals of elemental magic, honing their skills in basic manipulation of the natural elements." Caliph Umar explained that the students in magic schools represent the lowest level.

Sharif Hussein nodded in understanding, absorbing the information. "And what distinguishes the levels four to six wizards?" he inquired, intrigued by the progression of magical expertise.

"Levels four to six wizards are graduates of our magic schools," Caliph Umar explained. "They have undergone rigorous training and education, mastering the sub-elements of elemental magic. At this stage, they possess a deeper understanding of magical principles and are capable of more complex spells and incantations."

He continued, "At level six, a wizard reaches the minimum requirement to become a teacher within our magic schools. These esteemed individuals play a vital role in nurturing the next generation of magical practitioners."

Pope John V listened intently, fascinated by the structured approach to magical education within the Caliphate. "And what of the semi-archwizards, levels seven and eight?" he inquired, eager to learn more about the higher echelons of magical mastery.

Caliph Umar nodded, acknowledging the Pope's question. "Levels seven and eight represent the semi-archwizards within our hierarchy. These individuals profoundly understand celestial magic, allowing them to draw power from the stars and celestial bodies."

He gestured towards a series of ancient tomes detailing the intricacies of celestial magic. "Semi-archwizards hold positions of great respect within our society, often serving as professors within our magic schools. Their expertise in celestial magic grants them considerable influence and authority."

Hussein's gaze sparkled with curiosity as he considered the pinnacle of magical mastery. "And what of the true archwizards, levels nine and ten?" he asked, his voice tinged with reverence.

Caliph Umar's expression grew solemn as he spoke of the highest level of magical attainment. "The true archwizards are the paragons of magical mastery within our Caliphate. These individuals possess unparalleled skill and knowledge at levels nine and ten, capable of wielding advanced magic that transcends the boundaries of mortal understanding."

He continued, "True archwizards have mastered the manipulation of celestial magic and the universe's fundamental forces. They can bend space and time, manipulate gravity, and unlock the deepest mysteries of the cosmos."

Pope John V marveled at the description of such profound magical abilities. "Truly, the pursuit of knowledge within your Caliphate is awe-inspiring," he remarked, his voice filled with admiration.

Hussein nodded in agreement, his mind buzzing with possibilities. "The integration of magic and technology could revolutionize our understanding of the universe," he mused aloud. "With the guidance of true archwizards, we may unlock the secrets of space and time, paving the way for unprecedented advancements in science and exploration."

Caliph Umar smiled warmly at their enthusiasm, his eyes gleaming with pride. "Indeed, the union of magic and technology holds boundless potential. By fostering collaboration and understanding between our nations, we can embark on a journey of discovery unlike any other, forging a future where magic and science coexist in harmony."

Caliph Umar shared a solemn resolve to explore the depths of magical knowledge and unlock the mysteries of the cosmos with Pope John V and Hussein. In their quest for enlightenment, they found unity and strength, bound by a shared vision of a world where magic and science converge to illuminate the path toward a brighter future.

Deeply engrossed in the discussion, Pope John V raised a final question to Caliph Umar, his expression grave with concern. "Caliph Umar, you have spoken eloquently about the dangers of dark magic. How do you ensure that students and wizards within your Caliphate are shielded from the influence of such malevolent forces?"

Caliph Umar's demeanor turned solemn as he contemplated the weight of the Pope's question. "Preventing the allure of dark magic is indeed a paramount concern within our Caliphate," he began, his voice steady and resolute. "We employ several measures to safeguard our students and wizards from succumbing to its temptations."

He gestured towards the shelves containing tomes detailing the consequences of dark magic. "First and foremost, we educate our students about the nature of dark magic and its detrimental effects on the world. They must understand that while light magic pursues peace and harmony, dark magic seeks chaos and destruction." Caliph Umar explained.

Caliph Umar's gaze held a steely resolve as he continued, "Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of piety and righteousness in the practice of magic. Those who are devout and virtuous are more resistant to the corrupting influence of dark magic. By nurturing their faith and moral character, we strengthen their connection to light magic and fortify them against the allure of darkness."

He paused, allowing his words to resonate in the chamber before concluding, "Ultimately, it is our responsibility as teachers and guardians to instill in our students a deep reverence for the sanctity of magic and the importance of using it for the betterment of humanity. By imbuing them with a strong sense of purpose and moral clarity, we empower them to resist the temptations of dark magic and uphold the principles of light, knowledge, and righteousness."

Pope John V nodded in solemn agreement, his faith in Caliph Umar's wisdom evident. "It is a noble endeavor, Caliph Umar, to guide the next generation towards righteousness and enlightenment. May your efforts preserve peace and harmony within your Caliphate."

As they stood amidst the hallowed halls of the House of Wisdom, the three men shared a solemn resolve to safeguard the world against the dangers of dark magic. In their quest for enlightenment, they found unity and strength, bound by a shared vision of a world where light triumphs over darkness and magic serves as a beacon of hope for all humanity.

While Caliph Umar guided Pope John V and Hussein in the House of Wisdom to learn about magic, some people wearing dark robes and concealing themselves with cloaks and concealed magic monitored Caliph and diplomat's activity from the United Terran. After monitoring, they leave the House of Wisdom to return to their base and report the result to their commander. However, they are unaware that they are also monitored by nano drones with thermal sensor capability that could detect and reveal their position by the thermal body. The UT ISIA is then ready to follow them to their base to catch the big fish.
