Chapter 421: Preliminary Research Result (I)
"The preliminary results are excellent so far," said Clone 1. " Let's begin with me. The Ultimate Magic Body is 50% completed. I've transferred the Naruto Clan's bloodline into magical before doing the same for Kaguya. Then, using her Life Code as a blueprint, I created most of the Ultimate Magic Bloodline. However, she is not the source of the Otsutsuki bloodline, so the research has now entered turtle speed."
The Clone showed the data while explaining. Achieving something like the Ultimate Magic Body would typically be extremely challenging, but using the Otsutsuki's Bloodline as a blueprint made the entire process easier.
The Ultimate Magic Body is essentially the source of all magical bloodlines, the pinnacle of magical talent granted through blood. And the Otsutsuki Clan's bloodline is the same as Chakra in this universe.
"According to my calculations, even if we get our hands on the Otsutsuki God, our research will only reach 70% completion, maybe even lower."
Edward frowned as he understood why: Mana was a more powerful energy than Chakra.
"Any ideas on how to achieve the remaining 30%?"
"Yes: the slight Magus Bloodline in our Life Code," said Clone 1. All wizards are descended from the Magus Race. However, this bloodline did not give them much except for a highly versatile mana that could easily change frequency, allowing them to use different forms of magic.
"It makes sense," said Edward. "The Magus Race is the pinnacle of bloodline in our universe and could be considered the source of magic in the Cosmic God Plane. However, we can do better."
"You want to acquire the bloodline sample of the creature with the highest talent in the entire Omniverse and use it as the blueprint for the Ultimate Magic Body?" said Clone 1 with bright eyes.
"Exactly. No matter how incredible the Magus Race is, I doubt they would compare to the pinnacle races in the Omniverse." He theorized the Magus Race reached Tier 12 as a civilization and achieved Omniversal Travel. However, Edward did not know how they were doing afterward.
"It's a good idea. Check the Akashic Record. However, if we want to get a sample, it would probably be expensive. We probably won't be able to afford it."
"In those situations, it's why we have the old man," said Edward. "However, knowing him, he's probably gonna make us owe him." He shook his head before accessing the Akashic Record and searching for the creature with the most outstanding magical talent in the Omniverse.
Then, his pupil shrunk.
"What is it?" asked Clone 1 after seeing his reaction.
"See for yourself," he waved the screen before the clone.
"It's the Magus Race?" he said in shock. With their current security level, he could only have a brief description. But the information said the Magus Race–the same from their universe–reached the pinnacle of the Omniverse and took the title of the race with the highest magical talent.
"They have probably constantly evolved their bloodline and Life Code to reach such a level," commented Clone 1.
"That's not the main point," said Clone 2, who took a peak.
'You're right. Having a connection to such a race through bloodline is not necessarily a good thing with our current weak self." Bloodline can carry Wills. As such, it's possible for someone with the Source of the Bloodline, or even a higher bloodline concentration, to influence someone weaker.
"We can use the Magus Race's bloodline as a blueprint, but we must ensure that our bloodline is unique and free from connection to them–even if it has to be weaker in general," said Edward. "Plus, when we do the modification, we will strip the small percentage of their bloodlines from our bodies."
At the beginning of the Empire, when Hermione was creating the Mage Path, she ensured the mana frequency was the same as the wizards' bloodline. As such, it served no other purpose besides maybe claiming the Empire is the rightful ruler of the universe since they inherited the Magus Race's bloodline. However, these gods and other powerful races would hunt them down instead of accepting the bullshit bloodline right to rule.
"In that case, we would need to become the source of this bloodline and cannot reach the pinnacle of the Omniverse in one attempt," said Clone 1.
"We can slowly improve things as we get more powerful," added Edward, and the Clone 1 agreed with him. Then, he went to continue his research. Before then, he has to catch on with Fleur's study on Dragon's Bloodline Source.
"It's my turn," said Clone 2 before taking out a magical staff and casting a spell. A pure-black sphere appeared before him and lasted ten seconds before stopping.
"As you can see, the Destruction Ball I've created based on the Truth-Seeking Ball is more potent than the one we created in Black Clover. I've even touched the [Destruction Authority] after the research."
"It's unstable?"
"Yes, and it's mainly because of Yin-Yang Release," explained Clone 2. "Magic has too many elements that Chakra does not have, like Darkness and Light. Space-Time is argued by Elementalist Arcanist as elements, even including things like sounds or shadow."
To some extreme Elementalist, sound or vibration is nothing but a sub-element of thunder.
"However, Chakra is different. Besides the basic five elements, the others can only be achieved through a combination of nature transformation. As for things like shadow and space-time, they are categorized into Yin-Yang Release or a category of their own.
'When it comes to Yin-Yang, the best thing we have is positive and negative energy. However, they are not truly the same."
Eastern Arcanists have studied the concept or idea of Yin and Yang and its relationship to the newly discovered negative energy Necromancers used. Although there are many similarities based on eastern literature and ideologies, they are not the same despite many similarities.
Edward pondered for a moment and said, "Use the relationship between [Authority] and spells."
Clone 2's eyes lit up. Since they are the same, he understood what the main body met. Spells could be argued to be a low manifestation of the rules or [Authority] of a universe. However, this description is not entirely correct. In a place with no rules and chaos–like the void–spells appropriately functioned. Of course, there is also the probability that the Void contained rules or laws that governed the entire Omniverse. Unfortunately, that's not something Edward's level can touch.
Some spells resonate with [Authority] at a high level, showing some level of connection. Furthermore, Edward recently discovered that directly manipulating the rules of a universe is not as good or powerful as doing so through well-crafted spells.
"Our purpose is to achieve destruction,' muttered Clone 2. "So, I can directly study the Destruction Rules to create the spell before using that same spell to understand Destruction Rules, forming a cycle."
Clone 2 can already see the path of his research. He will study the fluctuation Destruction Rules, allowing him to integrate all the elements into a Destruction Ball. Once that succeeds, he can have a better understanding of this authority and will not need to fuse different elements to achieve destruction: he would be able to do it directly–much faster and with more power.
"I'll get to it," he said before leaving.
"It's my turn," said Clone 3 before showing his date with a holographic display.
