After reading all the information, Ian frowned deeply. From Dolos, he learned the real reason why Jehovah started that war: he wanted to kill all other gods and achieve omniscience and omnipotence by devouring their Divinity.
His goal is to become the supreme and only True God in the universe.
Novad Clan's intervention did not stop Jehovah's ambitions, but made his plans more ambitious - now he has set his sights on Multiverse. Moreover, according to Dolos, Jehovah has probably recovered most of his strength.
What really caught the attention of Ian was that Dolos mentioned that Jehovah did not need to rely too much on the faith of this mortal world to restore strength.
At a certain stage of the war, the Christianity god discovered another way to increase his power. This was one of the reasons why he was able to resist the siege of the Novad clan and other gods at the same time in the final decisive battle without falling behind.
As for what that method is, Dolos either really doesn't know, or he doesn't want to say it.
"It seems that I can't use the same tactics anymore."
Ian originally planned to use Christians in this world to weaken Jehovah just like he did with "Truth" in <Fullmetal Alchemist>. Unfortunately, this method does not seem to work.
"In this case, I have to take tough measures."
He doesn't mind this, as long as he is fully prepared; for him, this is also a new experience.
Subsequently, Ian began to prepare for his next adventure. He created a clone and sent it specifically to contact the future "The Librarian" - Flynn Carson.
According to his memories of the film, Flynn was an extremely talented and intellectually curious young man.
As long as he is given the correct moral guidance when he is young, he will grow into a talented and powerful Arcanist.
As for his magic talent, Ian is not worried.
When it comes to talents, they are usually divided into two categories: one is the ability to perceive, control and generate magic. This talent can be improved through Potions.
Another magical talent is intelligence, wisdom, or IQ.
People with this talent can more easily increase their soul strength and have an advantage when conducting research or conceiving new ideas.
Although intelligence can be improved through genetic engineering and other means, people who are naturally smart still have huge advantages. What's more, those acquired improvement methods are also effective for them.
Flynn Carson is an extremely smart young man. Therefore, once he becomes Arcanist, he will be a valuable asset to the Empire.
Of course, Ian also has his own selfish motives.
One of the ways he controls Empire is to establish a master-student relationship with all talented young people - especially those students he has taught at Hogwarts.
Because of this, in the early days of the Empire's rise, he would go to various magic schools to teach whenever he had time. Even Bones Magic School was no exception.
Therefore, he planned to use the same method with Flynn.
"It's not just Flynn. Emily·Dawen Potter in <The Librarian 2> is also a genius with extraordinary intelligence, even better than Flynn. She is also included in the list."
After creating the clone and giving instructions, Ian began his next adventure: traveling through parallel dimensions or parallel universes.
Prior to this, Ian had successfully traveled to parallel dimensions.
This time, however, he does not intend to rely on Floating City or any external assistance; he will achieve this entirely on his own strength.
Combining the knowledge gained from his wife Rowena with his in-depth study of space and time in this universe, he is sure that he can succeed.
After checking the spell he created for the last time, Ian put countless layers of shields on himself and began to cast the spell.
Arcane Rune Magic: Cross-Dimensional Portal.
A magic circle appeared on the ground, and then a transparent door appeared in front of him out of thin air.
After confirming that it was correct, Ian stepped in.
Earth-234.
In the corner of a desolate alley, a circular gap suddenly opened in the space. A body fell heavily to the ground, and the gap closed instantly.
This body was missing an arm and a leg and had fallen into a coma - it was Ian.
Not long after, a pale homeless man appeared in the alley and saw Ian lying on the ground.
Seeing the elegant clothes on Ian, the homeless man immediately thought of robbing him.
However, the moment his hand touched Ian's body, a burst of flame suddenly burst out and instantly burned him to ashes, leaving not even a slag behind.
After a while, a red-haired young woman appeared at the entrance of the alley.
When she saw the body on the ground, she was shocked and quickly stepped forward to check.
The fresh wounds that looked like sword slashes shocked her. The strange thing was that she was not burned to death like the previous tramp.
After discovering that the man was still breathing, the red-haired woman's first reaction was to take him to the hospital.
But at this moment, she noticed the white flame burning on the wound, which was slowly repairing his injury.
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to take him back to her home.
A few hours later, Ian opened his eyes.
"Where am I?" He looked around, but his vision was blurry.
"You're awake," the red-haired woman said.
"You saved me? Thank you," Ian said, his brows suddenly furrowed, showing a painful look.
The reason is that he instinctively tried to use Legilimency to read the girl's mind, but suffered a slight backlash.
"Looks like my soul is damaged."
After self-examination, he found that the main body of the soul was not damaged, but was in a state of shock, which affected his spirit and will, making it difficult for him to cast spells.
"My name is Ian."
"My name is Chloe."
"Chloe, what a good name. I owe you a favor."
"It's not necessary. I can see that you can survive even without me," Chloe looked at the white flames that were regenerating the severed limbs, his eyes filled with awe.
She had never seen such witchcraft.
"And, as fellow wizards, we should help each other."
Hearing this, Ian's eyes lit up, and he realized that the woman in front of him could actually do magic.
If it was under normal circumstances, he would have discovered it long ago.
At this time, he tried hard to focus on her face and felt that she looked familiar. Unfortunately, his brain was not working smoothly at the moment.
"Chloe, since you are a fellow-traveler, do you have any magic herbs or related books here?"
All the magic Divine Artifact on him was destroyed during the time travel, leaving only this robe. Even his interdimensional storage ring was broken.
But Ian doesn't care much about the ring, it's just a tool that connects the dimensions of the pocket to facilitate retrieval.
As long as he can cast the spell again, he can still take out the contents.
"I have," Chloe said. Although he was curious about what the wizard wanted to do, he took him to the garden and moved all the books about Herbology and Potions.
For some reason, Chloe instinctively trusts Ian. She doesn't know that this is not only her intuition as Dreamwalker, but also some kind of charm protection mechanism that Ian's body automatically emits when it is in a weak state.
After getting the book, Ian started reading one after another.
In a desperate need to concentrate, it took him a full five hours to read the books.
Then he picked up various plants in the garden and took a bite of each one.
He activated the nanorobots in his body and quickly analyzed the medicinal properties of these herbs. In his current state, it was difficult to connect to Morgana, so he had to rely on himself.
After the analysis was completed, he quickly conceived a Potions formula that could soothe the soul's shock.
As long as the ability to cast spells can be restored, the healing speed of the injury can be greatly accelerated.
Since he couldn't cook it himself, he could only guide Chloe in its operation.
She succeeded on her third try, which shows that she is extremely talented in Potions. After all, this is a brand new magic system that she has never been exposed to. To be able to succeed so quickly is simply remarkable.
Ian drank Potions without hesitation.
A cool feeling spread in my mind, and after a few minutes, that Chaos feeling dissipated.
When he opened his eyes again, his vision was no longer blurry and his thinking was clear again.
He took a deep look at Chloe and recognized her immediately.
She is the heroine in the movie <The Last Witch Hunter>.
