"The second step is to collect as much information as possible from his mind," Ian added, "But I have a feeling this will be more troublesome."
Based on the recent observation of Herpo, Ian judged that he is the kind of ruthless character who would rather destroy his own memory than let others obtain it. Therefore, even if a method can be found to read the memory of the gods, it may be in vain. The best way is to make him surrender in some way and actively hand over the knowledge.
Rowena also saw this problem. "Your efforts may be in vain."
"Indeed. If that's the case, I will erase his consciousness and make him a puppet. In any case, a Divine Grade puppet of Eighth Tier will also be a huge supplement to the current Empire's combat power," Ian replied coldly.
Subsequently, Ian continued basic research. He diluted the collected Divine Power and mixed several magic herbs to neutralize the instinctive will in it.
The potion was then tested on animals and clones, covering both Magical Creatures and ordinary organisms.
The results came out quickly. This "Divine Potion" has many benefits: curing diseases, extending life, repairing the soul, increasing magic power, improving physical fitness, and even optimizing blood vessels.
Of course, it can also be highly toxic.
Herpo's Divinity energy seems to contain some of the characteristics of his Godhead or Authority--Death Force. Therefore, depending on how this characteristic is used, the potion created can have either positive or negative effects.
"These gods are really the darlings of the world," Alti Tower Master sighed when checking the potion data.
However, she quickly frowned. Based on the data, she found that there were certain commonalities between this god and her [Ancestral Summoning Magic], mainly in terms of "faith" or "faith".
She felt that she had missed something when checking those who drank the potion. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly murmured to herself, "Ancestor Mark. Shouldn't gods have something similar?"
Americas The Ancestral Summoning Magic of the aboriginal people is a very complex magic involving blood, soul and belief. Without any one of them, outsiders cannot practice it at all - including Edward.
Ian has done several experiments to extract blood samples of aborigines and tried to summon them, but they all failed. After many attempts, he realized that this is a magic that is only bound to a specific race.
In the Empire, there are several types of magic like this. Due to its special properties, Ian cannot be used anyway. But he is not discouraged, but wants to study this system to see if he can reproduce Heroic Spirit System in the <Fate> universe. Unfortunately, it has not yet been successful.
Alti began to re-examine the blood and souls of those who drank the potion.
After conducting an in-depth exploration of their Soul Space, she discovered a strange mark or mark that exuded the aura of death.
"I guessed it right," she whispered.
One of the reasons why Aboriginal magic is unique is that they all have a unique spiritual mark in their souls that connects them to their ancestors. This mark will not have a negative impact on them and can be passed down to future generations through the bloodline.
When Ian learned this, he immediately thought of a character in the comics of his previous life: Black Panther. Black Panther can summon the souls of ancestors to talk to them, seek wisdom, and obtain all the knowledge and experience of their ancestors.
Therefore, he suggested that the indigenous people develop in this direction, and they succeeded. Because of this, many lost ancient knowledge and even secrets were rediscovered by them. This knowledge brought a huge boost to the development of their ethnic group and even the entire Empire.
Unfortunately, this magic system is not yet perfect, and many secrets remain unsolved.
"What do you think of this mark?" asked Ian, who was very satisfied with the selection of the right project leader.
"It can be seen at a glance that this mark is different from ours. However, I don't have more data to make speculations," Alti replied.
"You must have some theories or conjectures, right?"
"Yes," she replied, "I guess Herpo can use this mark to slowly transform these people into his followers. After their death, their souls will probably belong to him."
"More importantly, he might be able to use this to escape."
Ian thought for a moment and then ordered, "In this case, lock these people into another independent pocket dimension during the test. Stay vigilant at all times and be sure to dispose of them completely after the experiment."
"I will monitor every step carefully."
After nodding, Ian continued, "Find a way to remove the mark. This Divine Potion will be of great use in accelerating the growth of the Empire."
The so-called Divine Potion is just a basic medicine that relies solely on the energy of Divinity to produce effects. If the side effects can be eliminated, once the Potions Masters take over, they can create countless miracles.
In addition, the current potions are still diluted products. Once thoroughly researched, Divinity energy can even be used directly to make potions. Potions of this level are even effective at Edward's level, and can accelerate his promotion to higher levels.
After the potion experiment was completed, Ian was ready to leave and handed over the remaining work to Alti.
He took one last look at Herpo. The current Herpo can still persist, but it is only a matter of time. Although the current Energy Drain Enchantment can only extract a trace amount of Divinity energy from him, as Alti deepens its understanding of this new energy, the efficiency of enchantment will become higher and higher.
Herpo will be sucked dry and will be unable to fight back, which is just around the corner.
"Thank you for your hard work, Alti Tower Master."
"It's my pleasure."
All citizens of the Empire suddenly received an emergency alert.
People quickly turn on the TV or log in to Skynet with their smart watches.
Then, a beautiful Japanese female anchor appeared on all screens. She reported in a calm and solemn tone:
"Breaking news. While sailing Blackwood Star System, which is 65.4 light years away from us, a huge fleet of our Imperial Navy was attacked and completely wiped out."
"According to reports, there are currently no survivors."
