Core Laboratory's arcane light flowed softly, reflecting the cold experimental equipment around him. Ian walked lightly and pushed open the ajar metal door, and walked into the research room that contained Shinobi World's highest technology and arcane crystallization. At a glance, he saw the figure who was contemplating in front of the holographic light screen.
"Tsunade, it's been a long time no see. I miss your beautiful face very much these days," Ian said with a signature bright smile at the corner of his mouth, and a lightness and tenderness after reunion in his tone.
Tsunade, who was reviewing an extremely complex biological experiment report, frowned slightly when he heard this. He turned his head and looked at him with a look that looked almost like a patient. "Why are you so crazy today? It's not like you would say such disgusting things casually."
"I think my expression is clear and sincere enough," Ian shrugged noncommittally, and then turned his attention to the Blink holographic light screen with countless precise data, "How is the research going? Has the final debugging work been completed for the ultimate project about Life Code and chakra Fusion?"
"You know, it's only been a few days, do you think I'm the kind of god who can cast forbidden spells instantly?" Tsunade rolled her eyes at him angrily, with a hint of fatigue in her tone that she didn't even notice.
Ian was stunned for a moment, and then he burst into laughter. Only then did he realize that for the creatures in this world, he had only been away for less than a week. However, in that broken Dimensional Space, he experienced the same relationship with Main God The head-on game of 's will also tediously traveled through countless "epochs" in the fourth level Soul Dimension. This huge gap in physical perception of time gave him the illusion that he had been separated from Tsunade for decades.
"Okay, this is indeed a bit troubling. After all, in my senses, I have experienced an extremely long inter-dimensional expedition," Ian sighed leisurely.
"Oh? It sounds like you have encountered something very interesting?" Tsunade was aroused and put down the electronic pen in his hand.
Ian had no intention of hiding it. He found a comfortable position and leaned against the experimental table, and in as calm a tone as possible, he told the Shinobi World Valkyrie about his experience in White Space, as well as the truth about the "Samsara Hall" who spanned all realms.
"So, according to your statement, there is a group of guys who call themselves 'gods', leading a group of Parasite bugs like the 'Reincarnators' you just mentioned, madly devouring the world's Source energy in the dark?" Tsunade's face gradually turned livid, and her slender palms had clenched her fists unknowingly, and the crisp sound of the joints was particularly harsh in the silent laboratory.
"From the perspective of academic definition, I have to admit that your description is very accurate," Ian nodded with a wry smile.
Tsunade had an almost violent anger in Blink's eyes. As Hokage, her mission was to protect this land, but now she learned that the entire planet and even the entire universe were just "food" and "harvest fields" in the eyes of a higher being. This feeling of powerlessness and Wrath made her almost unable to breathe.
However, Ian did not let her indulge in this emotion for too long. At this time, he had begun to consider deeper issues - about the foundation of the Empire, that is, the "Supreme Floating City" that carries the hope of Arcanist Civilization.
"Morgana, we should start making final preparations," Ian summoned the purple House-elf in Sea of Consciousness.
The figure of Morgana suddenly appeared in the air. She first made a naughty face at Tsunade as usual, and then looked at Ian seriously. "Master, regarding the upgrade of Floating City's defense system, I have conducted 36,000 simulation exercises in the background. But I must remind you that the 'magic modifications' you want to make now have completely exceeded the current engineering limits of the Empire."
"It used to be the limit," Ian showed a confident smile, "But now that we have more forbidden knowledge, it's time to give that big guy a complete 'version update'."
"Are you planning to use that kind of power?" Morgana's voice contained a hint of trembling, showing both fear and uncontrollable excitement.
"That's right, Void Energy," Ian gave the exact answer solemnly.
In previous arcane research, Void Energy has always been listed as the highest taboo against the Empire due to its extreme instability and destructive ability to assimilate all things. But after this confrontation with Main God, Ian has a deeper understanding of the various subtle characteristics of Void Law. He plans to implant a "Self-Healing and Reconstruction" system based on Void Law into the core center of Floating City.
"We want to make use of the unique 'Spacetime Reversal' feature in Void Energy," Ian quickly outlined a complex spell circuit on the holographic screen. "I want to make the local space enter a closed loop of cause and effect at the moment the city is damaged. This This means that even if Floating City is completely destroyed after suffering a world-destroying blow like the previous Ninth Tier, as long as the core source of Void is not extinguished, the city can be completely reversed to its peak state before the damage in just a few seconds."
Morgana was quickly performing computing power support on the side, his eyes full of enthusiasm. "This is simply a miracle! If we add the 'Creation' feature, we can even reshape the city's shape on the battlefield at any time according to actual combat needs, or repair all magic turrets instantly."
"This is indeed theoretically feasible. Even if we can go one step further and master the application of the 'Izanagi' variant of the Uchiha Clan, we may be able to make the entire city completely immune to physical death," Morgana added, but then shook his head with some regret.
"You can't bite off more than you can chew, let's finish Void Reversal first," Ian patted her head. Then, he brought up the last and most dissatisfied shortcoming - "Return Navigation System".
"Although Floating City is designed with an automatic homing function, the current response speed and cross-dimensional positioning accuracy are not up to the 'absolute standards' in my mind," Ian frowned slightly. In a possible future cross-dimensional expedition, once he is separated from Floating City, if he cannot be summoned and combined with him in an instant, it will be a fatal flaw.
"Do you have any specific improvement ideas?" Morgana asked.
"There is no perfect plan yet, but I already have some prototypes of ideas about 'will-oriented'. We need to start special experimental research on this in the next time."
As the discussion deepened, the atmosphere in the laboratory became more heated than ever before. Tsunade sat aside, listening to these crazy plans that were completely beyond her cognitive scope and could even rewrite the fate of the world. Her originally tense heartstrings relaxed inexplicably.
She looked at the young man in front of her who was engrossed in Truth, even preparing frantically to deal with the so-called "gods", and she suddenly had an unprecedented belief in her heart: Perhaps, under the banner named "Arcane Empire" built by this man, the so-called fate and ending were really just playthings meant to be broken.
"Just do whatever you want, madman," Tsunade picked up the pen again, with an imperceptible smile on his lips.
Ian did not respond. His consciousness was once again immersed in the vast smoke-like mass of formulas and runes. His final preparations were like a precision-operated giant machine that made a roar that shook the heavens in the depths of the planet.
