Harry Potter: Dimensional Wizard

Chapter 620: Project Speedster (I)

A baby opened its eyes and looked around. Its eyes were dull at first before a glint of wisdom materialized. ‘It’s a success?’ Edward thought as he closed his eyes to check his memories. “Excellent.” His main body reincarnated a new soul, but this one was different as it contained his main memory, personality, and a significant part of his knowledge bank.

Edward looked at his baby hands, “I seem to be human. However, this doesn’t appear to be Earth.” His eyes could see the writing in whatever nursery it was in, and he did not recognize the language.

‘It’s good I’m not on Earth since it might cause trouble to act under the Sorcerer Supreme’s eyes,’ he thought before acting. He closed his eyes to detect his genetic information.

‘Damn, that was harder than it needed to be,’ he thought as he felt tired. ‘This soul is too weak, and its talent is mediocre. I need to do something about that.’ Even though he had his main body’s memories, he did not inherit its talent, and the soul used for reincarnation had to be mediocre to prevent detection — especially since this one came with a vast quantity of memories.

Edward focused on gathering any energy in his surroundings to rapidly accelerate the development of his genes and body. Although this body was primarily human at its core, it had many differences from the humans on Earth, so he needed to study them beforehand to ensure no problems.

Then, in the span of a minute, this newborn baby turned into a grown man. Afterward, Edward used the vast knowledge of his mind to grow his soul to the limit of his body to prevent any imbalance.

‘The limit of Tier 1? Enough for now,’ he thought, sensing the power he could use with his current soul without backlash. He glanced at the three nurses in charge of this nursery who were looking at him, too shocked to speak. With a glance, he entered their minds to get a basic knowledge of this place before erasing all memories of what they just experienced.

Edward then looked at the camera in the nursing room. He wanted to teleport to his destination, but he was unable to. He had no mana, and sensing any kind of spatial energy would take a while. Lastly, he could not use Karmar Taj’s method without a sling ring. He had no choice but to use a different tactic.

Edward sent his astral projection through the walls into the security room and occupied the security guard watching the baby's room before removing the footage. He erased the latter’s memories before returning to his body. He transfigured new clothes before walking out of the hospital.

This planet was similar to Earth technology-wise, except with a much smaller population. That’s because Thanos once came to this place when it was on the verge of destroying itself due to overpopulation. The Mad Titan killed half of the population randomly before taking over.

‘If I want Project Speedster to work, the first thing on the agenda is increasing my soul and talent, then creating Morgana’s replacement. The first one is not too difficult, but how do I proceed with the second? Start with a Quantum Computer? Or a powerful soul as a container? Maybe both?’

His next destination was the house of the wealthiest individual in this Cre-il City. He influenced the guards and everyone he came into contact with, thus gaining complete control of Sir Luiyek’s estate and his money. Edward spent the next 24 hours through the web, learning about the resources of this planet. Once he had a decent idea of the current state of this planet, he ordered Luiyek to procure a few things for him, which he used on two large magic circles in the largest room in the estate, one on the ground and one floating in the air.

The magic circle resembled three circles that met a fourth at the center. Edward then sat at the center. “Let’s start.” The circle was activated by lightning, and a few seconds afterward, three demon creatures appeared in the three outside circles. However, before these demons could react or process their environment, they screamed before turning into two orbs: blue and bright red. The orbs turned into streams of light that entered Edward’s body. He repeated the process more than a dozen times before stopping.

“A purified Tier 6 soul and a new Energy Sensitive Body,” Edward said as he clenched his hands. “Although the soul flame is now unstable due to the sudden increase of the soul, this body is not meant to live long anyway, so we can fix the problem later if need be.”

He proceeded to the next step, which involved summoning at least Tier 7 and above demons before activating the magic circle in the air, transforming these creatures into materials for a new Gate of Truth. The process took him a week, but he finally created a new gate, which meant his talent no longer limited his actions. Although it was only 30% of the original body, that was still in the realm of super genius, considering how much of an anomaly he truly is.

“On to the next step,” Edward muttered before gathering Cosmic Energy for his use. Although he could transform other energy into mana, he was not satisfied with how long this body would need to do such a thing unless he engraved an enchantment in his soul. It was better to use other sources, and cosmic energy was potent and readily available scattered in the universe.

Edward used a detection spell to find the closest technologically advanced civilization to this planet. Building a miniaturized quantum computer on this planet would take too much effort. Although Thanos had conquered this place, he did not help these people advance; he only left one of his ships stationed here to watch over them.

“Found it,” He found a planet under the Nova Empire’s rule about 26,000 light years away, and it appeared that place was a laboratory for the Empire. He opened a portal to the laboratory and immediately took over the minds of every individual working there.

With state-of-the-art technology and control over some of the best scientists and engineers of the Nova Empire, he created his Quantum Computer in three days. He then erased all traces of his appearance before teleporting to Planet Morag, where he procured one of the infinity stones — the Power Orb.

The orb’s purpose was still a way for him to recreate Morgana so that Project Speedster could be accomplished as soon as possible. So, after getting his hands on it, he built a powerful Tier 10 soul with no emotions by converting the energy in the stone into soul energy. He combined the soul with the miniaturized Quantum Computer to further boost its processing power before finally fusing it with his own soul.

“Welcome, master,” said a soothing voice. “Do you want to give me a name?”

“Nara,” Edward said randomly. He chose an approach similar to Jarvis for this mission to save time, so Nara did not have a shape or personality like Morgana.

“What a wonderful name,” Nara praised. “What is your first order?”

“Let’s start by building your database.” He immediately installed all the knowledge he brought with him, including the ones he took from the Nova Empire.

“Done,” said Nara after a few minutes. It took way longer than Morgana, even the old one, but that was to be expected.

“In that case, let’s run some basic tests before proceeding to the next stage of the plan.”
