A few hours later, Olivia·Armstrong completed the first Battle Aura conversion.
Although she is only a beginner, the wild life energy in her body like Beast has already allowed her to surpass most mid-level mages in terms of pure strength and speed.
"How do you feel?" Ian threw her a specially made enchanted long sword.
"Awesome."
Olivia caught the sword and held a sword flower in his hand. The sword's edge cut through the air and made a sharp whistle.
"This power... is several times stronger than when I was at my peak. And..."
She took a deep breath, and a faint white flame appeared on her body, "I feel like this is just the beginning."
"Of course it's just the beginning."
Ian said with a smile, "Although the Battle Aura system is rough, it has potential Infinity. Right now, you are just a First-Level Battle Aura Warrior at best. When you can train Battle Aura into armor or even condense it into a substantial weapon, then you will truly get started."
In order to speed up Olivia's cultivation progress, Ian turned to Rowena.
"Honey, I need a favor from you."
"Say." Rowena spoke concisely and to the point.
"Help me design one [Gravity Training Chamber]."
"Gravity?" Rowena raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to use high gravity to squeeze the potential of the body?"
"That's right. The essence of Battle Aura is the explosion of life energy. Only in extreme environments can life force be stimulated to the greatest extent."
Ian explained, "Ordinary weight-bearing training is too inefficient. I need a training room that can adjust the multiple of gravity and even simulate various extreme environments (such as high temperature, extreme cold, and lack of oxygen)."
Rowena's eyes flashed with interest. "Sounds very challenging. Give me three days."
After arranging Olivia's training plan, Ian looked at Hermione and Bellatrix.
"You two are not idle either."
He took out a top-secret file, "This is the research information on [Ritual Magic] that Herpo used to become a god, as well as the data about [Truth] that I collected in that world."
"I want you to reinterpret this ritual."
Ian's eyes became deep, "Although Herpo succeeded in becoming a god, he also paid a heavy price (being trapped in Underworld). I want you to find out the flaws and improve them."
"Improve the ritual of becoming a god?" Hermione took a breath of cold air, "Do you want to..."
"No, I have no plans to become a god for the time being."
Ian shook his head, "Godhood is a constraint for me. What I want is to kill gods. Only by understanding the birth process of gods can we find a way to kill them."
Hermione and Bellatrix looked at each other and saw the shock and excitement in each other's eyes.
This is a study that is enough to subvert the worldview.
"Leave it to us." Bellatrix licked his lips, with a crazy light in his eyes Blink, "I will dig out the secrets of that old bone bit by bit."
Finally, Ian turned to Luna, which had just finished testing its flight capabilities.
"As for you, Luna. Your task is the simplest and most important."
"What is it? Go and catch that dragon?" Luna pointed at the Albion on the screen that was shivering in the wilderness.
"No."
Ian smiled, "I want you to go to Aether Plane and help me find some special souls."
"What soul?"
"Battle Soul."
Ian explained, "As Empire is about to start an interstellar war, we need an army that is not afraid of death, tireless, and absolutely loyal. Ordinary biochemicals are too expensive and have ethical issues. So I plan to form one--Ghost Fleet."
"Use those Servant who died in battle in history, or warriors who voluntarily transformed into spirit bodies, give them bodies of steel (Golem), and make them Empire the sharpest spears."
Luna tilted his head. "It sounds like 'haunted Terminator'. So cool!"
After the meeting, Ian did not rest.
He came alone to the deepest part of the base. Here is the most core secret of the Empire - the star map.
Thousands of star systems are marked on the huge holographic projection.
Among them, the galaxy closest to Solar System is marked in red.
[Alpha Centauri].
"According to the latest detection, there is an indigenous civilization in the early stages of the industrial revolution."
Ian looked at the red dot and murmured to himself, "Although he is weak, he is perfect as Empire's first whetstone."
"One year."
He stretched out a finger and said, "One year later, Arcane Empire's expeditionary force will officially set sail. This will be our first step towards the sea of stars."
"It is also a practical exercise to test the results of our reforms in the past five years."
Ian's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"I hope that civilization can last a little longer and don't let me down."
