The silver-white fleet was arrayed in low-Earth orbit, and the new Void Engine made a low hum. Ian·Bones stood under the dome of the command hall, staring at the light spot of Blink in the star map.
"Start Void Engine."
The moment the command was issued, the fleet turned into countless streams of light and submerged into Void. Through the observation window, the public only saw the starry sky distorted for a moment, and a few minutes later the fleet appeared in the star field tens of thousands of light years away.
"Archon, the fleet has arrived at the target star field and is scanning for habitable planets."
Ian nodded slightly, turned around and walked into Chamber of Secrets. Dumbledore wearing a black hood appeared on the holographic screen.
"Archon, what are the new orders?"
"The expedition fleet has set off. I need you to pay close attention to the reactions of various forces in the universe to this action." Ian said.
"According to my intelligence over the years, there are only a few civilizations such as Galactic Federation that can compete with the Empire. Why are you so cautious?" Dumbledore said.
"This may be true at the technological level, but in Magic Domain..." Ian's fingertips ran across the star map, "We have not yet solved the capacity bottleneck of Magic Core. Not to mention those ancient existences dormant in the gaps between dimensions."
The image of Dumbledore shook slightly. "There is still no progress in the research on Divinity and Authority. Those magical civilizations that worship True God are heavily guarded."
"No need to take risks." Ian closed the communication, turned around and stepped into Belize Laboratory's portal.
In the center of the laboratory, two World Gate doors stood quietly. When Ian connected the new server to the door, the elf form of Morgana condensed on his shoulders.
"Master, you moved my Splinching server?"
"The main server remains in this world, and Splinching will travel with me." Ian adjusted the energy parameters of the door, "It's a pity that cross-universe connection is difficult to achieve."
"If all the computing power of the main server is used..."
Ian sighed. Since knowing the true value of these Chamber of Secrets, he had to erase all relevant records and even correct Albion's memory. These relics from ancient times are too precious and must not attract the covetousness of dimensional travelers.
Just as he was putting the encapsulated Obscurus container into the special ring, Bellatrix and Rowena arrived hand in hand.
"Hundreds of controlled Obscurus are here." Bellatrix put on the ring for him, "If you encounter the god of Authority, it will be enough to buy you time to evacuate."
Ian lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently. Rowena then took out five metal spheres. "This is the compression device of Void Energy. The power released by each sphere is enough to destroy the star, but remember to keep a safe distance."
As night fell, Ian had dinner with his family. Resurrection's parents, Susan and Emily, and their wives all attended the banquet. Although it was a farewell banquet, everyone was forced to smile, lest Ian's mother would notice the danger of this journey.
The secret meeting after the meal began in the candlelight. All the core members were sitting at the long table, and the Illuminati mark on the wall was faintly visible in the firelight.
"While I'm away, there are a few key points that you need to pay attention to." Ian looked at Grindelwald, "Ghost Squad should focus on monitoring Atlanteans."
Grindelwald stroked the wand. "I think it is safer to clear it directly."
"I kept them for other considerations." Ian turned to Lily·Potter, "About the Luck absorption from Harry..."
Lily frowned. "Will he be hurt?"
"According to calculations, there will only be temporary bad luck. You can send Ghost Squad to protect it secretly." Ian then told Luna, "Use Arcane Eye to monitor the entire territory of the Empire. No abnormalities can be missed."
Finally, he looked around the audience. "If Herpo breaks through the boundary between life and death, activate the emergency plan immediately. I have left World Gate leading to a safe place."
"Don't say such ominous words." Rowena scolded softly.
"Just be fully prepared." Ian smiled.
The night before leaving, Ian came to Hogwarts alone. He disappeared and walked through the corridor. When Headmaster's Office appeared, he alarmed Professor McGonagall.
"When you become a consul, can you break into Headmaster's Office?" McGonagall adjusted his glasses, "Be more respectful to the elderly."
"I thought you were still on vacation." Ian looked at Sorting Hat with a smile, "It seems you are troubled?"
"Every year, students threaten to assign them to Ravenclaw!" Hat complained, "Just because that's the college you went to."
Ian stroked the brim of his hat. "Don't worry about pressure from the powerful, no one dares to touch Hogwarts."
When leaving, McGonagall stopped him. "Flitwick has revealed a little bit about your itinerary. Take care, the whole Empire is on your shoulders."
Ian paused for a moment and nodded solemnly. "I will."
Returning to Belize Laboratory, Ian checked his personal equipment for the last time. Obscurus The ring glowed coldly between Blink's fingers, and Void Bomb was properly contained. He took a deep breath and stepped into the sparkling World Gate.
Void unfolds before your eyes, with countless dimensions like stars Blink. A new journey begins.
