Ian looked at the white void space and thought, it turned into a mansion. Then another thought, it turned into a damp cave. 'This reminds me of Room of Requirement,' he thought to himself. All Reincarnators have their own private rooms that can be decorated as you like.
In the beginning, the size of the room was limited to the size of the Malibu mansion, but by using points, they could create their own planet, or even their own world. Ian chose an ordinary mansion with a large enough basement. He first got himself a bottle of vodka and a wine glass to maintain his image as a functioning alcoholic, and then walked into the basement.
The list of reincarnation exchanges is extremely large, including power or knowledge from all corners of the universe. Ian saw the genes of Spider-Man, the spells in the animated version Jackie Chan Adventures, Allomancy, Dragon Ball in the "Mistborn" series, and even more weird things.
'It would be great if I could get the coordinates of all these worlds.' Once he masters this Main God Artifact, Empire will make progress beyond even his own imagination. Currently, Empire has entered Age of Exploration by traveling through many planes in its universe. However, the next great Exploration Era will travel throughout the universe.
'One step at a time,' Ian reminded himself. He still had a long way to go before his mission would be a success, so there was no need to get too excited. He had already mapped out a path for his doppelganger to take on this mission. Magic was his greatest strength - that's where his talent could truly shine. However, he did not choose to follow a purely magical path.
Although Purple-robed Daoist may have experienced hundreds or even thousands of years on other worlds, only two months have passed on Earth since Naruto World and Main God clashed. In other words, their confrontation occurred only eight missions ago. Ian knows that he will soar in the reincarnation rankings at a record-breaking speed, so he does not want Purple-robed Daoist to connect his clone with Legendary Arcanist, thereby using some extreme means to obliterate him.
In order to explain the power system he will use, he has made some preparations. For example, the clone's favorite fictional character is Doctor Doom in Marvel Comics, and he even uses Lord of Destruction as his reincarnation code name. Therefore, the first step in the Ian plan is to create a set of Power Armor similar to Doctor Doom.
The first thing he bought was advanced robotics knowledge. Samsara Hall provided an option to directly imprint the knowledge into people's minds by paying a higher price. However, most Reincarnators had a love-hate relationship with the Samsara Hall.
They need its ability to become stronger, but they do not trust it. Therefore, few people will use this method and choose to learn it themselves. Of course, they may buy some brain-assisted products, such as Baruffio's Brain Elixir in "Harry Potter" or NZT-48 in the movie "Limitless".
Ian didn't need these, so he started his course. In addition to robotics, he also registered for various advanced courses in many other fields. After completing his studies, he purchased the rights to use Alchemy and Alkahestry in "Fullmetal Alchemist". 'No Gate of Truth - it just opens up my ability to sense and control energy,' Ian analyzed. This is to be expected, because Gate of Truth has too many zeros after the price on the redemption list.
He hid his disappointment and focused on the task at hand. Over the next three days, he digested countless bits of knowledge, showing Samsara Hall why he dared to claim to be the smartest man alive.
The last thing Ian bought was the material to make the armor. He needed to synthesize a titanium alloy mixed with other materials to make the armor. He originally wanted some Vibranium, but even with more than 10,000 points, he couldn't afford more than 2 grams.
After the alloy was made, Ian erased Alchemical Array and drew a new one. He slowly and methodically transformed the alloy into the finished product according to the blueprint he designed. Ian had to draw these circular arrays more than a dozen times as "proof" that he was slowly "mastering" the use of Alchemy.
After the shell of the armor was built, he focused on the power source. Unable to obtain clean energy like magic, Ian built a miniature nuclear reactor as the core. He originally wanted to use a cold fusion core, but his current points limited him. However, for safety reasons, he added several other energy sources to the armor.
The secondary energy source is solar energy. When needed, the Warframe can absorb solar energy to power itself. The third energy source is the source of all Alchemy: the energy generated by the movement of the tectonic plates. Ian designed a unique alchemical symbol for the Warframe, allowing him to absorb and utilize the energy of the plate movement.
"Now, let's build the operating system," Ian muttered. He was going to other worlds, which meant that the suit needed its own independent micro-supercomputer, run by Morgana. Many of the technologies he used for the suit were things he had prototyped or written feasibility papers for. Now, with Alchemy - which eliminates the need for expensive and sophisticated laboratories - and rare minerals in the exchange hall, Ian can finally turn all his ideas into reality.
"Morgana, are you online?"
"Yes, sir," a voice came from the armor.
"Run diagnostic checks."
"As you wish... this is the result."
Ian frowned. The energy efficiency of this suit of armor was abysmal. He had tried his best to optimize it, but he was limited by the materials used. 'In this case, I can't load too many weapons on this version 1.0.'
In order for this suit of armor to work, it also needed detection methods. So, Ian added X-ray vision, thermal energy detection, energy vision, scanning systems and several other detection methods. In the end, he only had two things left to complete: the flight system and the weapon system.
He was not yet able to create anti-gravity technology, so he had to resort to installing thrusters on the feet of the suit. He flew it in his private room, tested the flight system, and fixed any problems. Ian also wanted to test the suit in space in case there were problems like the ones Tony encountered after building the first generation Iron Man. However, there was no vacuum environment in his private room, and he had to pay to install one.
His points were already tight, so he refused. While the rules prohibited Reincarnators from using their abilities publicly, they could do so in secret. So, he would just have to wait until he returned to Earth before taking that particular test.
As for the weapon system, due to limited energy, Ian only selected a few weapons. However, he invested a lot of time in the force field of the suit, because it would be his main means of defense. He fired several lasers into the force field to test it.
"Great. It's finally done," Ian nodded. The only problem was how to carry the armor. He had not yet developed nanotechnology, which meant that he either had to wear the armor at all times or summon it when in danger. His watch showed that he only had 2167 points left, which was far from enough to buy even the smallest space Divine Artifact.
Alchemy can be used to create a pocket dimension, but he has not redeemed this knowledge, nor has he shown that he is trying to make a pocket dimension himself. 'I need to use the remaining points to buy a Curse-Protection Doll and a Mind Amulet.' At present, Ian is just a mortal and has no ability to protect himself in the face of these things.
'Maybe I should go to the market and see if I can find anything,' he thought to himself. He no longer hesitated and put on his armor. However, before he could leave, a notification came from his watch. He glanced and saw that his Tier had changed.
[Rank: Tier 3 (A set of armor powerful enough to defeat the most elite troops of any modern country. Warning: Reincarnators's body is still that of an ordinary mortal. Please consider upgrading your life level.)]
'It seems that this Samsara Hall prefers personal power,' Ian analyzed.
