Ian has always had an almost pathological desire for the cross-dimensional plundering technology mastered by "Main God" or "Main God Space". In the original space-time dimension, he had planned more than once They had conducted capture operations against similar entities, and even sent Luna and Rowena on an extremely dangerous search mission. In that operation, they successfully locked onto the traces of a Main God Space.
However, Ian, who was cautious by nature, did not choose to launch a full-scale war rashly at that time. According to his original idea, Luna and Rowena planned a seemingly coincidental accident, throwing the "Reincarnation Watch" with the Main God imprint into another completely independent timeline.
In that preset timeline, Ian had already used Law of Causality and advanced biotechnology to create an impeccable and perfect identity for himself - a genius scientist who was well-known on that planet and who single-handedly enabled civilization and technology to span hundreds of years.
The original script of Ian was: During a certain ruins inspection, the great scientist would "accidentally" discover that strange watch made of strange material, and wear it out of irresistible curiosity, thus naturally breaking into the enemy as a "potential newcomer". This plan originally went very smoothly, Reincarnation Watch has already arrived, and all he has to do is wait for the clone to open the door.
But as his body came to Naruto Timeline, which is now controlled by Purple-Robed Daoist, Ian was shaken. First of all, he was completely confused about how deep the Main God background behind the original timeline was, and this uncertainty made him tired.
Secondly, the so-called "accident of dumping the watch" appeared to be too deliberate and full of traces of artificial modification in the subsequent review, which made him doubt the success rate of the trap.
But now, a better opportunity is in front of him. He decided to change his plan and change the target of infiltration to the Samsara Hall under Purple-Robed Daoist.
Ian is rapidly deducing a new plan in Sea of Consciousness. He is preparing to repeat his old tricks and infiltrate the "Earth" where Tobias and they originally belong. This time, he no longer plays the famous old fox, but plans to create a top-notch high school student full of ambition and desperate for extraordinary power.
He will show a high IQ that can rewrite the scientific process of the world, and at the same time secretly conduct a series of power experiments that "touch taboos" to attract the attention of Purple-Robed Daoist.
He believed that a predator like Purple-Robed Daoist, who was accustomed to playing with fate, would never be able to refuse such a perfect prey. In the eyes of the other party, such a young man with outstanding intelligence and strong desires was simply the best "worker bee" to help him plunder World Origin and disrupt the timeline.
'As long as that Purple-Robed Daoist thinks I am a useful chess piece, he will not wait to invite me.' Ian sneered and calculated every step. But there are two current problems: first, how to let the projection of his consciousness descend to the earth without disturbing the other party's high-dimensional perception; second, and the most fatal point.
"Master, you seem to have forgotten a very important thing." Morgana's cold voice sounded in Ian Sea of Consciousness, with a hint of inappropriate poisonous tongue, "Empire The current soul technology has not yet truly overcome the technical barriers of the fourth layer Soul Dimension. And your entire infiltration plan is based on the premise that you can hide the magic weapon on the fourth layer. If you cannot do this, your identity will be exposed the moment you arrive."
Ian touched his nose awkwardly, this is indeed the current weakness. Due to time constraints, the conventional research path is no longer feasible.
'Since we can't go through the main entrance, we can only "cheat".' Ian responded in his heart, with a hint of cruelty flashing in his eyes. Morgana instantly understood what he meant - taking advantage of certain taboos Although there will be serious causal backlash if he forcibly breaks through the arcane forbidden spells without any consequences, in a "lost timeline" like Hokage, where the value is about to be drained by him, those consequences are not at all within the scope of his consideration.
"Now that we have reached a consensus, let's act as soon as possible. We really don't have much time." Ian cut off communication with Morgana, turned his head, and looked back at the restless Reincarnators team in the laboratory.
"How have you considered my proposal?" Ian's voice became gentler. "If you are unwilling to cooperate, I will not force you to stay. I will erase all memories of the sensitive conversation in your brains and return you free. But before you leave, I will leave a monitoring clone next to each of you. After all, my research on your power system has only just begun."
After saying that, Ian did not wait for their reply, but first put the reshaped soul of Hernandez back into the other party's body, and then strode out of the depressing lounge.
"Sir... Sir, please stay!"
A slightly awkward voice came from behind. Ian stopped and turned around, looking with some surprise at the elf Set who was catching up quickly. He originally thought that this arrogant elf who had been severely humiliated by him would want to stay as far away from him as possible, but now it seems that Set's face is actually filled with some kind of "death-like" fanaticism.
"What's the matter?"
"Please... please allow me to observe and learn with you." Set lowered his head sincerely.
Ian's brain even went blank at that moment. He did not expect that after witnessing the cruel crushing of the rank gap, this little guy was not scared to death, but wanted to use it as a springboard to improve himself.
"If I guess correctly, you should next study the power system of Reincarnators called Li Xu." Set took a deep breath, mustered up his courage and said, "That system is very unique. I want to see with my own eyes how the real Legendary Arcanist analyzes the unknown."
Ian looked at the elf in front of him with great interest. He originally thought that Set was just a mediocre person who got there by luck, but now it seems that this spirit can turn humiliation into a desire for knowledge. His fierceness actually had some shadow of Arcanist. He knew that if Set could maintain this mentality, the other party's meager willpower score would usher in an explosive growth.
'I don't want my "spy team" to be a bunch of idiots who can't hold up the wall.' Ian thought for a moment and nodded, "Then follow."
The two walked into a fully enclosed high-tech research room. Ian waved his hand, and countless illusory screens emitting shimmering light unfolded in mid-air. The screens showed scenes of fierce battles being staged everywhere in Shinobi World. It was the Machine Clan army he sent to clear out the remaining Reincarnators.
Set Watching those familiar faces on the screen being accurately captured by mechanical warriors like domestic animals, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.
"Most low-level Reincarnators's power systems are very boring." Ian commented while manipulating the data. "They are mainly focused on crude genetic enhancement, primary blood transplantation, or similar T-virus and Werewolf curse such mutations with serious side effects. As for those who are refined Divine Power, the modifications to their brain structures are too barbaric and completely lacking in beauty."
In his database, these so-called strong men often choose low-difficulty, easy-to-use worlds like <Resident Evil>, <Underworld> or <Chronicle> as their initial starting points. In Ian's view, these are "ghetto"-level forces with no scientific research value.
"Bring that Li Xu over." Ian gave the order.
A few minutes later, a young man wearing full Dark Magic robes and holding a gorgeous staff was roughly pushed into the laboratory by mechanical guards.
"Set, the information you provided is wrong." Ian glanced at the somewhat embarrassed young Korea, turned to Set and said, "You told me he was Third Tier, but my current scan feedback shows that this little guy has clearly stood firmly on the threshold of Fourth Tier."
Set was stunned, and then a trace of shame appeared on his face. The young man named Li Xu stared at Set with a gloomy expression, and uttered two words through gritted teeth. "Traitor."
Set was not angry, he just looked back at the other party calmly. "Traitor? Is there a contract between us? In a place like Samsara Hall where everyone is in danger, isn't it funny to talk about loyalty?"
Ian had no interest in this. He stepped directly in front of Li Xu. The strong pressure instantly made the other party almost suffocated. "If you cooperate with me, you can survive. Otherwise, I don't mind taking your soul out and making it into a specimen."
As Li Xu nodded stiffly, Ian cast an extremely precise Deep Scanning Spell. Another screen unfolded, and the scene of Magic Core in Li Xu's body emerged on it - it was four interlocking, dazzlingly complex and huge Magic Circle.
"Can you explain to me the operating logic of your system?" Ian asked, pointing to the four rings.
Li Xu opened his mouth, but strangely no sound came out. His face turned red from the frustration, and his eyes were filled with fear.
"It seems that the restriction not only covers your life experience, but also covers the core knowledge of the power system." Ian said to himself, not surprised by this. "That Main God obviously doesn't want you to exchange technologies at will in the mission world, thereby destroying the balance of points that he has painstakingly managed. So, what is the name of the world you originally belonged to?"
Li Xu still cannot speak.
Ian no longer wastes words. At this time, he is like a child discovering a new world, staring intently at the unique dimensional space in Li Xu's heart. Although that thing is not the same as Harry Potter, the wizard of the world Magic Core is somewhat similar, but there are huge differences in the way of storing and calling magic power. Li Xu's system does not seem to pay attention to the Infinity expansion of space, but spends all its energy on those strange rune arrangements.
"Morgana, look at the design of these runes." Ian drew a line with his fingertips, "They present an extremely perfect geometric proportion, and the energy fluctuations they emit... give me a very familiar feeling."
"The trajectory of the first Magic Circle looks very much like a macroscopic simulation of electrons rapidly moving around an atomic nucleus." Morgana's keen data processing center immediately gave feedback.
Ian's eyes instantly burst into unprecedented light. He froze in place as if he had been struck by lightning, and then burst into a burst of hearty laughter. "Morgana, you are such a genius! I finally understand where this feeling of dissonance comes from!"
He walked excitedly around the room, completely ignoring the confused looks from the people around him.
"Our Arcane Empire magic research has always been on the path of 'macro expansion'. We pursue a larger magic pool, a grander spell model, and a wider range of control. In our understanding, power is equivalent to the stacking of magnitudes.
"But the system represented by Li Xu - if I guess correctly, this should be called 'Magic Circle Magic'. Its core logic is actually 'microevolution'! It does not pursue Infinity growth in magical power, but attempts to use runes to simulate the most basic particle motion of matter in the universe at the microscopic level. This is simply the ultimate combination of atomic physics and magic!"
Ian looked at the dumbfounded Set and the frightened Li Xu, and spoke at an alarming speed, "If our magic is compared to a heavy intercontinental missile, the power Huge but heavy and easy to intercept; then the system of Li Xu is the kind of particle beam killing move that directly disrupts the structure of matter at the atomic level. This is not just a difference in power systems, it is a division in the cognitive dimension of the entire civilization!"
At this moment, Ian felt that several technical bottlenecks that had troubled Empire for decades were showing signs of loosening due to this accidental capture. He couldn't wait to bring this "sample" back to his home country and start a microscopic magic revolution that could change Arcane Empire's future.
"This deal is really a bargain." Ian murmured in a low voice, with a formidable fire of ambition in Blink's eyes.
