Arcane Empire Inside the war headquarters, the holographic star map exuded a cold blue light. Ian quietly stared at the red light spots representing the war zone, with a rare lack of concentration in his eyes.
"What are you thinking about? You look a little absent-minded." Olivia's cold and sharp voice interrupted his meditation. She was sorting out thick military strategy documents, and she carried a resolute and resolute commander's temperament in her movements.
Ian retracted his gaze and sighed, "I'm worried about the protective barrier Guznader left around Milky Way Galaxy. Although this barrier protects us, it is also a sword of Damocles hanging above our heads."
Olivia stopped what he was doing and nodded seriously. "'Think Tank' from the staff department has also submitted risk assessment reports on this matter many times.
What they are most worried about is that Guznader adopts the strategy of 'burning together' before the final defeat - taking the initiative to revoke this layer of protection and completely expose the coordinates of Milky Way Galaxy to the greedy gods deep in Void."
"What's even worse is," Ian walked to the star map and pointed at the edge of Milky Way Galaxy, "Even if we can defeat him safely, if we don't fully grasp the legal core or core of this barrier Divine Artifact, once he falls, the entire galaxy will fall into an unprecedented vacuum period. And in front of those gods who can penetrate across dimensions through 'Dream Revelation', this barrier itself is not absolutely safe."
Ian rubbed his temples. For the current Arcane Empire, the blockade of Guznader is like a natural protective shell, providing protection for the Empire. The rise bought precious time. If he faced the supreme gods of Tenth Tier or even Eleventh Tier in all the worlds prematurely, the immature Empire would most likely die in an instant.
"Do you have any alternatives?" Olivia asked, "To build a defense network that can cover the entire galaxy and block the perception of high-level gods, this has exceeded the current engineering limits of the Empire."
"I got some inspiration from that expedition to the <Black Clover> plane," Ian's eyes flashed with a flash of thought, "The edge of that world was surrounded by a very special Void is wrapped in fog. I can try to reproduce the underlying logic of that fog. It can not only physically obscure space, but also turn the entire galaxy into a 'lost land' from the dimensions of cause and effect and perception."
After discussing the galaxy-level defense plan, Olivia turned the topic to the forces within Milky Way Galaxy that had not yet been pacified.
"The problems of Elves and Sage Clan must be resolved as soon as possible," Olivia's tone became cold, "Especially the 'Sun Elves' branch of Elves. Their recent changes at the border have seriously interfered with the Empire's supply lines."
"In this case, then execute the original infiltration plan," Ian made the decision in a calm tone, "But before the official war begins, we must steal and master all the core knowledge of their civilization. Especially regarding the inheritance mechanism of Sun Elves's 'bloodline memory', which has irreplaceable value for improving Empire's Life Code library."
Ian paused and showed a meaningful smile, "The group of 'experts' from Shinobi World I just brought back, it's time for them to play their role."
"You mean, let them carry out this mission?" Olivia raised his eyebrows slightly, "That is the core forbidden area of Elves. As their first battle, isn't the difficulty too high?"
"If they can't even achieve this level of infiltration, then they don't deserve to occupy a place in this cruel universe." Ian has absolute confidence in the genius named Itachi Uchiha, "I believe I believe in Itachi's leadership, and I believe in their special Mental Magic named 'Genjutsu'. In that forest full of natural laws, the ninja's concealment and deception will become an eternal nightmare for the elves."
Olivia ended this short and efficient remote meeting and once again devoted himself to the busy battle report processing.
Ian was left alone in the laboratory, and he summoned Morgana.
"How is Chris doing recently?" Ian asked casually.
"He has now crossed the threshold of Fourth Tier, and is studying high-dimensional geography and plane physics day and night, trying to catch up with the Empire's technology iteration speed," Morgana reported.
"When he starts the experiment on Haki and the spirit Divine Power Fusion, give him the highest level of database access," Ian ordered. "Haki's power derived from physical potential will be of great benefit to enhancing the battlefield survival rate of low-level Arcanist."
Ian stood up and stretched his stiff body. As the war progressed, Arcane Empire had evolved from a single organization in a corner to a behemoth spanning hundreds of galaxies.
"This war that has swept the entire Milky Way is probably coming to an end," Ian stared at the sea of stars outside the window. "The next problem is how to establish an arcane, eternal and stable ruling order in this land full of chaos and prejudice."
He thought for a moment, and then burst into laughter. The headache of ruling mortals was something that his aunt Amelia, who was the supreme commander of Ministry of Internal Affairs, should consider. For a pure seeker, power is just a by-product of exploring Truth.
"Let's take a look at Susan. I heard that she is currently working on a very interesting new project." Ian moved slightly and disappeared into the shadow of the laboratory in a flash of lavender space ripples.
