Edward carefully placed the sphere containing the Black Clover World before heading toward his next direction. He did not have to go to the Star Trek Worl since he received a message from Olivier that the clone took a World Gate and returned home on their own. So, Edward decided to go straight to Konosuba.
"Morgana, let's test the new Travel System."
In the past few years, Edward finally completed Rowena's research for using Void Energy to travel in the Void.
"Starting the Void Core Engine," said Morgana as a holographic screen appeared in front of her. A few seconds later, she said: "Everything seems normal so far. Let's begin the launch."
She instructed the Void Energy in the core engine to take them to their destination, and it did so.
Whoosh!
The Gate disappeared before reappearing, traveling an unquantifiable distance.
"Did we succeed?" asked Edward.
"Let me check," replied Morgana as she tapped on the keyboards floating on her. "Our calibration was off. We are now three days away from the Konosuba World."
"Three Days? How long would the journey normally take?"
"With the Floating City, three months. With the World Gate, five years."
"A significant improve, but the technology has a long way to go."
His desire is that he can travel to any world from his memories by instructing Void Energy. However, so far, he can only go to places he has the coordinate to, and he still did not instantly arrive at his destination.
"Did you find the errors we made?"
"Yes, I've identified the problem, and there should be no problem fixing them before we return home."
"Alright, I'll leave it to you. Let's descent."
The World Gate entered invisible mode before entering the world. Immediately afterward, Morgana picked up a signal from the Floating City, so she locked on its position and directly teleported to its location.
Edward found himself on top of a castle. After sensing the position of the Floating City and the others, he finally descended.
Someone jumped on him as soon as he exited before suffocating him with a pair of soft things.
"I would gladly die like this," said Edward with a muffled voice. Fleur finally let him go.
"I miss you."
"I miss you too," he replied while holding her. " Already Tier 7? It seems you guys benefited greatly from this trip. "
"We did alright," answered Fleur with a smile.
"Where are the others?"
Before Fleur could respond, the others walked out of the room.
"What's wrong with you two?" asked Edward after seeing the disheveled states of Hermione and Lily. They had heavy bags under their eyelids as if they had not slept for long.
Not sleeping for dozens of years is not a problem with their strength. So, their situation could only be explained by stress and pressure.
"They did this to themselves," said Fleur while gloating.
"What happened?"
"Lily suddenly got competitive and wanted to finish her research before you arrived. Apparently, this began because of an argument with Snape. As for Hermione, she got into something above her weight class."
Lily and Hermione gave her a dangerous stare, but she did not care. Hermione got into Edward's arm, taking a comfortable rest: she snuggled him like he was a giant teddy bear.
"Alright, let's talk inside."
The group walked inside before talking about their experience. Edward spent almost 50 years in the Black Clover World, so his story was quite long. However, only ten years had passed for this group, so their story was briefer than theirs.
"Something tells me your experience was not normal," said Hermione.
"Old Merlin probably chose that timeline to test me. Apparently, I disappoint him in the final result."
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, but I should follow his advice. We need to prepare in advance for the worse."
"I see."
"So, where is Filius?"
"After defeating the Demon King, he became a bard for a while before we send them to the other dimensions under the Gods' control," replied Fleur.
"Oh, what are they like?"
"They are essentially the other Isekai Worlds that you often mentioned from Primordial Earth."
"So, this world is a combination of many Isekai Worlds? And the Gods are responsible for sending people from Earth into these worlds?"
"Basically."
Edward nodded before saying to Lily and Hermione: "You two need some sleep."
"Indeed," muttered Lily before leaving with Snape. Then, Edward tucked Hermione into bed before spending some family time with Fleur. He was amazed as her Succubus Bloodline seemed to have evolved, granting her some ability that brought him to cloud nine.
Then, after Hermione rested properly, she joined in on the fun; the couple did not leave their bedrooms for the next week. Finally, Edward walked into Hermione's lab to see her research.
She handed him the data while explaining:
"In the past few years, I've managed to recreate Konosuba's Magic System. I can recreate them all, whether it is the Adventure Card, the Job Class Bloodline, the Skill Points, or others."
Edward looked at the data. She created a pocket dimension for her experiment and modified it to be similar to the Konosuba World. Clones were then sent to change class and level up, and they succeeded.
'Karma Empowerment too?' thought Edward.
"So, what's the problem?"
"The problem is after discovering the other dimensions. I've since realized that the limit of my modification was only Tier 3. No matter what I did, I could not raise the ceiling of this world."
"The other dimensions have a higher ceiling?"
"I've found a dimension with a power ceiling of Tier 6, and they used Karma Empowerment or Karma Energy as well in the form of a system you often see in Isekai."
"So, you've tried to recreate the System and failed?"
"Basically, and it's driving me crazy since I succeeded with Konosuba."
"To be fair, Konosuba's System is a knock-off version. They do not have Status Window like in the others and must rely on the Adventure Card," said Fleur.
Hermione glanced at her and decided to ignore her.
"I thought the problem was the energy level of the dimension. So, I expanded its size and inserted a lot more mana. But it was useless. Then, I thought the problem was I needed more karma. So, I developed an enchantment to gather Karma from the people of Earth and added it to the Dimension.
"This plan did show signs of removing the limit, but it still failed in the end, and I cannot find why."
"What is the difference between the Konosuba Dimension and the others–besides the ceiling level?" he asked.
"There are many, but the main one is the others do not require a bloodline for different job classes. If someone meets the stats and levels requirements or only does a specific quest, they can change class.
"Furthermore, there are some dimensions where the concept of class is non-existent. With enough skill points, you can learn any techniques or spells.
"So, what do you think? Do you have a solution?"
Hermione found Karma Energy fascinating. It's quite the versatile power, with the ability to increase stats with no repercussion, and allows individuals to instantly master knowledge and use it as if they were reflexes.
If such a power were used wisely, the Empire's overall strength would grow at an alarming rate. So, she wanted to succeed.
Edward did not answer her but looked through the data, analyzing everything. He also studied Karma, so he was knowledgeable in the subject. A few minutes later, he said: "What you need is Karma Authority to serve as the core of the Dimension."
"Authority?"
"Yes. With the Karma Authority, you can modify the dimension similar to Law Manipulation Power. You establish the rules and boundaries of that dimension: how much Karma can a person receive after killing a creature, how much is required to level up, what can Skill Points be used, and what is the highest level, etc.
"I've brought a group of creatures–devils and angels–who can naturally generate positive and negative karma; they would be perfect for reinforcing the dimension and making it operate smoother."
"Devil and Angel?" muttered Hermione, her eyes lit up as she figured out something. "The same role that the Gods and Devils of this world plays."
"Exactly."
"Your idea is good and all, but I do not meet the Willpower requirement to use Conceptual Magic. So, how am I going to access [Authority]?"
"Have you really become stupid?" said Fleur. "You can cast a weapon like the Time and Death Staff."
Hermione slapped her forehead. "How could I forget this? It's really not good to work while sleep-deprived. Alright, let's get started on designing this thing. Let's call it Karma Staff. No, that's too basic, but let's use it for now."
While talking to herself, she began to type something, ignoring these two. She also scheduled some sleeping time for herself; she did not want to return to the previous state.
"So, how is your research?" asked Edward.
"Excellent. And I might have found a way to complete Project Dragon God."
Edward carefully placed the sphere containing the Black Clover World before heading toward his next direction. He did not have to go to the Star Trek Worl since he received a message from Olivier that the clone took a World Gate and returned home on their own. So, Edward decided to go straight to Konosuba.
