In the dark and deep underground top-secret laboratory, cold and cybernetic-like instruments were emitting a low hum. In mid-air, countless Blink holographic projection screens with faint blue light were intertwined together, like a starry ocean of data.
The main body of Ian leaned lazily on the large and comfortable high-backed chair, and its deep gaze slowly swept over the busy clones.
"I have deeply deconstructed the pupil technique of the Uchiha Clan and Hyuga Clan, and achieved quite fruitful breakthrough results." Clone No. 3 pushed up the virtual data glasses on the bridge of his nose and was the first to report. As his voice fell, his originally normal eyes instantly turned into a scarlet red, and three black magatama stars rotated rapidly in the pupils.
"I successfully transformed the underlying logic of 'Sharingan' into a universal arcane spell. This spell can temporarily change the microscopic physiological structure of the caster's eyes, and give it dynamic vision and Genjutsu resistance that are exactly the same as the original Sharingan."
Clone No. 3 paused, with a hint of unconcealable fanaticism in his tone. "More importantly, after improvement, the magic version of Sharingan has been able to perfectly copy all Arcane Rune Spell from Zero Tier to Third Tier! My dear, you should be able to guess what amazing benefits this heaven-defying application will bring to the Empire."
Ian nodded slightly, Blink's deep eyes glowed with satisfaction. In the past, the application of Sharingan's pupil technique on the magic side was limited to copying the "Wandlore spell". But now, they can actually copy the low-level Arcane Rune Spell! This means that ordinary citizens of the Arcane Empire can completely use this spell to quickly master the actual combat capabilities from zero to Third Tier in a very short period of time.
Of course, Ian knows very well that being able to "copy" and release a spell through Sharingan is not the same as truly understanding the Truth and underlying laws behind the spell.
Despite this, this is still of immeasurable benefit to the Empire in quickly cultivating low-level Arcanist in batches. Especially when the Empire military begins to mobilize large-scale troops to train the "clone army" that can bulldoze the sea of stars, things will become easier than ever.
Because they no longer need to go through the tedious and painful memory instillation process, and they no longer have to carve the principles of spellcasting into the brains of clone soldiers bit by bit. More importantly, popularizing Sharingan spells will cause the cost of the entire rioting process to plummet, enough to save trillions of Arcane Coins for the Empire treasury!
"Excellent work. Apart from this, are there any other breakthroughs?" Ian was not stingy with his praise.
"Yes. I have used magic power to reproduce all the exclusive abilities of Mangekyō Sharingan, such as the Susanoo, which is known as absolute defense, and the Amaterasu, which is known as the immortal black flame, etc." Clone No. 3 reported, "However, most of them have become some powerful but relatively unpopular spells, which have other strategic uses in actual combat. It's not that big in fact - the only exception is Itachi Uchiha's 'Tsukuyomi'. This Conceptual Level Genjutsu can control time and quality at will in the illusion, and its underlying code will greatly benefit our Empire's Genjutsu combat department."
"What about Rinnegan?" Ian asked.
"Unfortunately, most of Rinnegan's abilities are of no great use in our opinion." Clone No. 3 spread his hands. Rinnegan's so-called gravity and repulsion controls such as Almighty Push and Universal Pull, Arcanist already have hundreds of high-level spells that can perfectly replace them.
Even Madara Uchiha's extremely weird move 'Limbo·Border Prison' is as conspicuous as a torch in the dark to the Empire Arcanist who masters various anti-stealth detection methods such as 'Eye of Truth'.
"However, it does provide some help to our research on 'Resurrection Magic' that is stuck in a bottleneck."
When conquering the <KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!> plane, Empire plundered the priest Holy Magic including Resurrection spells from there. Therefore, Rinnegan's " Rinne Rebirth" only provided them with a new perspective on the deceased Resurrection from the perspective of chakra energy, thereby promoting the progress of research in this area. Unfortunately, it did not bring about any revolutionary breakthrough that broke the barriers of the law.
"As for Kaguya Otsutsuki, the reincarnation of the nine-magatama Sharingan, it also provides some good by-products. 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' is a very grand and terrifying whole world. Ball-level Genjutsu, I'm still racking my brains to convert it into an arcane spell, and trying to improve it in depth. Once successful, this thing will definitely become a big killer for the Empire."
"Then there is Kaguya's abnormal use of 'Amenominaka' and other Space–Time Ninjutsu. I have collected all the actual combat data on how she used reincarnation Sharingan to roughly control and fold time and space. These precious data models should be of great benefit to your subsequent in-depth research on Space-Time Law."
Ian calmly received these massive data packets and stored them securely in the back of his mind for future deductions.
"The last item is Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan. I have completely deconstructed it and transformed it into two completely different systems: one is a conventional detection spell, and the other is a Battle Aura specially tailored for pure 'fighting Qi Martial Artist' combat skills. By the way, I have also done the same Battle Aura transformation on Sharingan, so that those pure fighting Qi Martial Artist who specialize in the physical body and do not understand magic can also use these abnormal pupil skills without any obstacles."
Empire Although there has always been a way to give magical power to every legal citizen, there is always a large number of people in the world who naturally prefer the pure fighting Qi Martial Artist route of fists to flesh and blood. This invention is undoubtedly a huge boon to the warrior class.
"Beyond that, this is the greatest strategic value that Byakugan can exert." Clone No. 3 said, reaching out and pulling out a huge and complex magic engineering blueprint in mid-air.
"I combined the Byakugan's abnormal ability of 360 degrees with no blind spots and the ability to see through energy veins to our 'Wizard's Eye', which was deeply Fusion, and carried out a comprehensive cross-generation upgrade."
"Wizard's Eye" is one of the Arcane Empire's highest-level Skynet monitoring systems. It is essentially one or several huge magic detection satellites suspended in the orbit of the planet. It is specially used to search for any uninvited guests who dare to sneak into the Empire's territory and capture sudden large-scale energy fluctuations. Its monitoring range is enough to cover every inch of the Empire's territory.
"How much has the overall performance improved?" Ian's eyes lit up.
"Full 35%." Considering that the last major version update of "Wizard's Eye" was less than three months after Ian left the country, this number is already a very astonishing and terrifying increase that can send the military into a carnival.
"Tenseigan How is the situation over there?" Ian continued to review the results.
"There are no particularly useful direct discoveries, but clone No. 4 did get a hint of inspiration from Tenseigan's 'Chakra Mode' and created something remarkable."
Upon hearing this, clone No. 4 strode forward to the front desk, while clone No. 3 retreated into the shadows very wisely and continued to immerse himself in his calculation research.
"I, I would like to solemnly introduce to you this great invention that can change the power structure of the Empire - [Advanced Battle Aura]." Clone No. 4 said, clenching his fists fiercely, and a violent flame visible to the naked eye shot up from his body like a volcanic eruption, rendering his body into a sacred and domineering color.
"After in-depth study of Tenseigan's Chakra Mode, a very crazy idea came into my mind. So, I quietly opened the gap in time and space, sneaked into a parallel timeline, and there forcibly captured Naruto Uzumaki who was under 'Nine-Tails Chakra Mode' as a living body Little white mouse. Then, through the underlying logic of these Fusion modes, I created this set of 'Advanced Battle Aura Mode' - this is a special explosive state that any warrior with advanced Battle Aura cultivation can actively activate. My dear, you should have guessed the main purpose of its creation, right?"
"Kill God." Ian narrowed his eyes slightly and gave two extremely cold words.
Arcane Rune Magic, as a high-level magic directed at Truth, does have the supreme power to harm and ultimately kill Bleach ming. However, The Battle Aura system has never had the ability to obliterate the laws of Divinity, which makes the profession of "fighting Qi Martial Artist" in an extremely embarrassing and powerless situation when facing the top crisis in the universe.
Those aloof starry sky gods not only possess hopelessly high magical immunity, but also have near-absolute immunity to physical damage. In some dimensions, they can indeed be called the flawless Extremis.
"That's right! Just to kill gods!" Clone No. 4 shouted the Snap excitedly, "I have used the meager Divine Power reserves we have now, as well as the ancient Greece The despicable 'Herpo' remains brought back were used for preliminary simulation tests. However, simulations are only simulations after all, and we now urgently need a living, real god as an experimental subject to collect actual combat data."
Clone No. 4 sighed helplessly.
"If the main flagship 'Floating City', which represents the highest crystallization of the Empire, is still here, I can use my knowledge to forcibly train a Sixth Tier-level 'False God' to practice." He shook his head with some regret.
Ian has established a heretical research group within the Empire dedicated to creating False God, and has already achieved some appalling preliminary results. The core logic of this blasphemous research is extremely cruel: first, exhaust all resources Cultivate a clone that reaches the pinnacle of Sixth Tier; then, crazily create billions of mortal-level clones in the artificial plane, and subject them to the deepest mental brainwashing, making them fanatically and unreservedly worship that Sixth Tier clone.
Finally, by forcibly collecting the pure Faith Power formed by billions of believers, a "False God" was born. The only reason why this product cannot be called True God is simply because it lacks a "Divine Kingdom" to carry the laws of the universe!
"Just wait patiently for a while. When we solve the trouble at hand, we may be able to find a real god, and we may even catch several of them." Ian said casually as he thought about the next strategic layout with cold eyes.
"Clone No. 5, how is the progress on your side?" Ian shifted his gaze.
"I am responsible for the Law of Causality pupil technique of 'Izanagi', but the progress is not satisfactory." Clone No. 5 stepped forward and said with a frown, "I have successfully imitated the heaven-defying effect of forcibly turning 'illusion' into 'reality'. However, when we use arcane magic to drive this spell, the price we pay is no longer the loss of an eye, but... a small piece of soul torn apart!"
He groaned with some annoyance. For Arcanist, the mutilation of the soul is a despair Abyss that is more terrifying than death.
"At the stage from zero to Third Tier, the most perfect solution is to first convert the magic power in the body into chakra, and then cast Izanagi. In this way, the user still only has to pay a small price of losing one eye. However, once it reaches the fourth level to Fifth Tier, the energy level of chakra is completely insufficient, and it cannot interfere with this level of reality distortion. At the same time, if magic is forcibly used to cast development, its effect has become very limited. For example, you can instantly erase serious injuries by playing with the concept of virtuality and reality, but you cannot reverse fatal injuries. By the Sixth Tier point, this spell has even degraded to the point where it can only heal the flesh. The injury is embarrassing. And once you step above Seventh Tier... it is completely impossible to play with the concept of reality and reality as you like before. The underlying laws of the universe will directly obliterate this low-level deception."
"Is there any hope for the next research direction to break through this bottleneck?" Ian remained calm.
"Yes. Izanagi is essentially a kind of 'reality distortion'. If we can combine it with the 'Word Soul Magic' that you forcibly plundered from the world of <Black Clover>, we have already touched on some marginal information that touches Truth, but this in-depth law research will still take a long time."
"It's already very good to be able to touch the threshold of the law." Ian nodded with satisfaction and was not too demanding. "Clone No. 8?"
Clone No. 8 did not report, but took half a step back and spread his hands. The next second, he showed Ian a miniature beast that looked like it was made of pure blue flames and was as cute as a puppy. The little beast was suspended in mid-air, looking around curiously.
Ian stared at it for a while, and his deep eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had seen some peerless treasure. "A pure magical creature?!"
"Absolutely correct. Those Tailed Beasts of Shinobi World are essentially a group of pure chakra creatures with Self consciousness. I learned a lot of amazing inspiration from a series of anatomy and energy experiments on them." Clone No. 8 said proudly.
In order to cross that desperate threshold as quickly as possible in the future and be promoted to the legendary Tenth Tier position, Ian made a crazy ascension plan for himself: to evolve himself into a half-flesh, half-energy high-dimensional creature, such as the legendary dragon flying in the stars or the Phoenix reborn from the ashes.
Therefore, he has been working tirelessly on how to use "Dragon Heart" as a perpetual motion machine to save Infinite Magic, and create a real magical creature through the perfect "Elementalization", in order to lay the most solid Cornerstone for his life level jump.
Before this, although he had successfully created some powerful spells that could transform himself into specific elements, that transformation was full of flaws. Not only was the degree of transformation incomplete, but the duration of the transformation was also quite short.
"Well done!" Ian looked at this energy puppy and gave high praise without hesitation.
"My work has just begun," Clone No. 8 said modestly, "However, according to my supercomputer-like sandbox prediction, once this technology matures, it may even help us build that 'Supreme Magical Body'!"
Ian nodded with deep understanding. The "Mage Race" that originated from their universe is itself an energy creature composed of pure magic power - just like the Anodites with infinite mana in the classic animation "Ben 10" he had seen in his previous life.
However, what is even more perverted about Mage Race is that they are able to transform their energy bodies into flesh and blood bodies at will, and in this way, their unparalleled bloodline can be multiplied and passed down in the universe.
'Perhaps, Anodites in the animation, on the grand scale of Omniverse, is simply a branch of Mage Race.' Ian secretly deduced in his heart. After fully knowing the glorious achievements of Mage Race standing on the top of the universe, no matter what outrageous things he discovers, he will not be surprised at all.
"Can this thing be completely weaponized?" Ian changed the topic and asked the core strategic question.
"I'm already working on this issue."
A huge creature that is completely condensed from massive high-dimensional magic power will have terrifying power that can easily crush even the stars. Once mass-produced, they can be used as another strategic trump card of the Arcane Empire to be put into the interstellar battlefield-this Just like Shinobi World regards Tailed Beasts as the ultimate nuclear deterrent weapon, but Empire's man-made magic power Tailed Beasts will be a thousand times more terrifying than them!
Finally, Clone No. 9 stepped forward and showed his research results on the holographic light screen. "My dear, my research topic is the mysterious 'Natural Energy'.
So far, through comparing a large number of samples, I have found that in the vast universe, only the 'planet' itself that truly has an ecological cycle can emit this kind of energy. It is essentially a unique macro life force produced by the interweaving of Planetary Will and the activities of living things."
"Can't ordinary arcane magic power be directly converted into Natural Energy?" Ian frowned slightly.
"No. Although within the framework of Sage Mode, they can perfectly synergize and amplify each other, they cannot achieve reverse Equivalent Exchange or mutual transformation. To be precise, Natural Energy is like an omnipotent universal Gold oil is compatible with all energies in the world: the aloof Divine Power, the blazing solar energy, the mysterious Cosmic Energy, and even the Negative Energy controlled by our necromancer, it can be perfect Fusion!"
"It doesn't matter." Ian Haki waved his hand, Blink's eyes showed the confidence of controlling everything, "As long as we can rely on our own technology and magic to continuously mass-produce our own Natural Energy."
Clone No. 9 nodded vigorously. His confidence was not groundless, because not long ago, he had conducted a perfect energy extraction test using a miniature living planet stored in a different-dimensional space ring.
Experimental data proves that they do not need to rely entirely on the original world of Hokage to unscrupulously manufacture and stockpile massive amounts of Natural Energy in the Empire!
