“How long have you been writing?”
“It’s been two weeks.”
“That long? How is the war situation?”
“Everything is under control,” replied Rowena as she looked at the new model Edward had created. She also studied Rune Mathematics so she could follow along.
“That’s good,” Edward replied with relief. Then, he also focused on the model. “What do you think?”
“With this optimized version, it should be easier to map out all the planes in the Astral Realm. However, that will take a long time. Not to mention eventually calculating the coordinate of other universes.
“I know that. So, I’ll leave the rest to Morgana.”
“Do you want to give Havika the new updated model?”
“No. The secret of the Omniverse can only remain in our family–at least for now.”
“As you wish,” she replied before continuing to look at the formula. A few minutes later, she said: “There are some deviations on this part.”
“Where?”
“When considering how Void Energy operates, you can optimize your equation to be like this.”
Rowena wrote many runes on the air.
“Is this the result of your research?”
“Yes.”
Edward nodded before correcting and adding the optimization she showed him.
“This might help me enhance the Floating City,” Edward commented as he looked at the final formula. “Furthermore, this model of the Omniverse has a long way to go before we can accurately calculate any coordinates.”
“Buy more coordinates from the Akashic Record and use them to complete the map. Star with the weak worlds that do not cost much.”
“That’s a good idea. Better yet, we will use the clone that will infiltrate the Lord God Space to gather world coordinate.”
“You’re just being cheap.”
“After the previous expense, I cannot help myself.”
Rowen shook her head before leaving. They were in rotation to check on him, and it was her turn. Now that he was no longer in deep focus mode, she left to continue her research.
Meanwhile, Edward also has other things to do. His return was still a secret, and he had a lot of work to do. His recent calculation was separate from his already busy schedule.
So, the first time he did was to check on Draco Malfoy, who was poisoned with a strange Time Curse. He checked on him in the Death Coffin he designed to place someone in a death-suspension state to prolong aging or death.
Draco was hit with a somewhat unique curse that had the power to adapt and evolve. And after being hit, it fused with the Kairos Poison in his body to evolve into a Time-related curse.
Edward found the curse somewhat interesting, so he removed it from Draco’s body and had Magicula absorb it.
“Y-Your majesty,” muttered Draco after waking up.
“You will need some time before you can completely recuperate.”
“Thank you for saving my life.”
“Don’t mention it,’ Edward replied calmly. “My return needs to remain a secret for a while, so be discrete with your words.”
“Yes, your majesty.”
Edward then left before calling Lucius and Narcissa to come to see their son. Back in the palace, he entered a deep state of mediation. Ever since he returned home, he could feel something brewing inside his Soul Dimension,
And he knew it was his True Name since Merlin told him about this. And during his distraction creating the model, the process finally ended.
[Edward Tehbaoth Rikereves Hanch Dedgenelldaer Beyondil Darkick Bones]
‘Is that my True Name?’ thought Edward as information regarding True Names appeared in his mind. They were usually that long, if not longer. And True Names served many purposes.
After acquiring a True Name, his name, in general, hold power. As long as someone speaks his regular name with the purpose of reaching out to him, he could sense–even across dimensions or planes.
Edward closed his eyes as he could now sense all the worlds he had previously traveled to since many people were talking about him. Although he could not reach or interact with these people since he was not powerful enough, he could still sense them.
Moreover, Edward could also sense that his title as the Arcane Emperor began to hold a certain weight, certain power.
‘Is this what people meant by god’s name cannot be spoken in vain.’
As he concentrated, he could sense anyone below Tier 7 who mentioned his name. He could listen to their conversation if he so wished–even ignoring some of the enchantments in the places they were in. However, it was not all enchantments, but some of them.
“Let’s test the other abilities,” he muttered before summoning a short and stinky green creature in his room: it was a goblin. The creature looked at Edward with desire while making some inaudible noise.
With a look, he restrained the before saying:
“With my True Name, I bless you and grant you the name Rockshar.”
A white light flashed on the goblin’s body, and he grew to 2.5 meters.
“It evolved into a Goblin Warrior,” commented Edward.
“Master,” said the creature as it knelt on one.
“His intelligence evolved from a six-year child to an average human. His soul or mind has no spell affecting him, yet he has an instinctive desire to serve me.
“Moreover, my mane and spiritual strength have drastically decreased to evolve a single goblin. The payoff is not worth it.”
Edward pondered as he observed the Goblin Warrior. “It seems that the more intelligent a creature, the more noble or powerful their bloodline, the less effect this ability has. It’s an excellent way to raise followers.
“Do you have any magical ability?”
“Yes.”
“Display it.”
“As you wish, master.”
The Goblin Warrior concentrated before rushing forward, leaving a shadow behind.
“His leg can gather mana in the surroundings to strengthen his muscles, allowing him to dash forward with great speed. Not bad.”
This ability was mediocre, but it was considered not bad for their race because goblins usually have zero magical abilities. Edward sent this goblin to the army to train before doing more tests on his ability to grant creatures’ names and evolve them.
As he theorized, this ability had little to no effect on humans or creatures like dragons. However, it was very effective for lesser intelligent creatures with weak bloodlines. However, Edward believed as he gets more powerful, it should work on them eventually.
Also, all the creatures he evolved also had one magical ability–some good, some bad.
‘The True Name seems to grant magic users some abilities available only to Demons and Gods.’
Gods could bless individuals, granting them many talents or gifts. Furthermore, they can detect when their followers speak their names–no matter the distance.
Meanwhile, powerful Demons also had True Names. When signing contracts, if those demons did not use their True Names, then the agreement would not apply to them; this is one way they can trick people when signing contracts.
And the same applied to Edward. Without using his True Name, the contracts’ restraint on him was drastically reduced. Although not utterly useless like demons, it was to the point where he could withstand the backlash of most contracts that did not have his True Name.
Another ability was that if someone knew a demon’s true name, they could control them. However, if someone knew Edward’s true name, they could deal severe damage to him.
Edward raised his palm to create a small flame. Then, the flame suddenly increased by about 30%.
“So, blessing spells with my true name can increase their strength. That’s interesting.”
With Arcane Spark, the increase could be said to be useless to Arcanists, or it could also be argued that it further strengthens them.
After doing a few tests, he called Olivier.
“Was the True Name an issue?”
All the Tier 7 Arcanists in the Empire had a true name, making their previous contract almost useless.
“Not really. After discovering its power, we informed everyone who wanted to use the Time Room to advance that they would need to resign their contracts. Most agree after they realize they might need our help to deal with the Kairos Poison. Some had to be threatened, and the uncooperative ones were dealt with.
“Furthermore, we will also pass a law that all future Tier 7 Arcanists must do the same.”
Edward nodded. Resigning the contract will not reveal these individuals’ true names. There will only be a mark that indicates the person used their true names to sign the contract.
He chatted with Olivier for a while before continuing with his work.
