Fleur displayed her data to Edward before she continued to explain.

"You know we've been struggling to recreate the other Dragon Kings Bloodline, most likely because they are alive. However, after studying the bloodline of an ancient dragon in this world, I found many subtle differences that may be the result of the different laws of the universe.

"So, I plan to use these differences to create a new set of Dragon King Bloodline before fusing them. And I've already got some success."

Edward looked at the data. Fleur had already recreated the Fire Dragon King by combining the bloodline of the Konosuba's Ancient Dragon and Harry Potter's regular fire dragon. She also researched the dragons in the other dimensions and added them to her research.

She even compared the complexity of the Dragon Fire King's bloodline to the Albion's Thunder Dragon King Bloodline and the Water Dragon King Bloodline back in the Empire. And so far, there were no problems–especially in terms of potential.

The Dragon God Project is Edward's possible way of reaching Tier 12, so he played great attention to the final result.

"So, what do you think?"

"There is no detectable issue as of now," replied Edward. "The only problem is the Dragon Race's inherited memories and Dragon Chant Magic."

"The Neo Fire Dragon King can pass down its magic through inherited memory, but it has no access to the memories from our universe. I've taught him how to use Dragon Chant, and he quickly mastered it since the magic is tailored for his kind.

"However, since we do not know all the Dragon Chant's knowledge, I don't know its limitation."

Edward did not answer her. Instead, he frowned as he analyzed the data deeper.

"If you're worried about that, we could probably find a way for the Neo Fire Dragon King to replace the one in our universe and access the Dragon Clan's inheritance. Well, maybe not replace, but tricked whatever system they used to access that knowledge."

"Great idea, but this is not what I'm worried about. You overlooked something."

"Oh, what is it?"

"We know the Dragon Kings can reincarnate after they die. As long as another dragon in the universe has a bloodline pure enough, they will inherit the title, memories, and powers of the Dragon King, essentially replacing the dead one.

"Your Neo Fire Dragon King is missing that aspect in his bloodline."

Fleur looked at the hologram, focusing on the part he pointed out.

"You're right. However, isn't that a good thing? We don't want the Old Dragon Kings to use our creations to reincarnate."

The Neo Dragon King has an extremely pure bloodline on par with the old ones, so they are the perfect vessel for reincarnation.

"Your worries are not unfounded. But, it would be best if our Neo Dragon Kings had a similar but separate Reincarnation System. That way, once one of them dies, we do not have to spend a lot of time and resources to recreate them."

"That's a good idea. I'll work on that."

Now that she had a direction for her work, Fleur was extra motivated. Then, she suddenly remembered something and said: "Don't forget to go meet your new wife?"

"I have a new wife?"

"Of course, Wiz. But you have to woe her."

Edward gave her a strange look while looking at Hermione through his side eye. After seeing no reaction, he calmly nodded without saying much.

"By the way, how many women did you bring this time?" asked Fleur, while Hermione also secretly listened in the corner.

"None."

"Really? I don't think you're that well behaved."

"Hehe, there were a few meaningless flings. I guess I can't say they were meaningless: happy memories, more likely. As for meaningful connections? Only one but things did not work out."

"Oh, did the mighty Arcane Emperor get his heart broken?" said Fleur as she pinched his face. Edward pushed her hand away. "I'm not that fragile."

"Honestly speaking, are you okay?" she asked as she caressed his hair.

"It's not my first rejection, and it won't be my last."

"That's a good mindset to have. Alright, I have to go back to my research."

Edward nodded before walking to Lily's lab, where she waited for him. Before entering, he saw Severus waiting at the door, signaling him with his head, to which Edward nodded back to indicate he understood.

So, he sat in front of her.

"What's going on? Why don't you want my help?"

"Honestly, the situation has nothing to do with you. I was talking with Severus about the trouble I was having in my research, and he told me to take my time. And if I could not succeed, you would help once you arrived.

"And for some reason, I suddenly snapped at him; we argued, and I wanted to prove him wrong by finishing the project before you arrived."

"I see. Did you find the real cause of your trouble?" asked Edward.

"After you arrived, I activated my Tower Spirit (A.I) Psychoanalysis Mode and discovered my outburst resulted from some problems back home."

"James?"

"Yes. Apparently, I have some subconscious guilt about how I treated him. And when Severus said these words, I burst out and lashed out. Things are better now."

"So, what will you do when you return?" asked Edward.

"Couple Therapy. The three of us must go to therapy to figure this marriage out. Otherwise…"

"That's a good idea. Nevertheless, you should talk to Snape; he's worried about you."

"Yes, I do owe him an apology. I" ll talk to him."

Edward nodded before sighing. "Now that we are on the topic of apology, I would also like to take this opportunity to apologize again for my actions regarding James."

"There is no need for that, as I understood your behavior."

"Nevertheless, I still appreciate your understanding and forgiveness."

Lily smiled and nodded.

"Alright, show me your research."

Lily displayed the hologram projection to show him the data while explaining some things.

"I've reproduced most of the capability of the Divine Spark and even made some optimization."

She then showed him a design of the Arcane Spark she designed.

"The Arcane Spark can turn faith into mana. And unlike the Divine Spark, where the conversion is only temporary, this one is permanent. So, Arcanists can have another way to rapidly increase their mana through faith.

"A new magical path could even begin with this method."

Edward frowned after hearing this; he had never been a true fan of the whole concept of Godhood and Faith. If Arcanists walked the path of Faith, then it is only a matter of time before the universe reverts to its former self once he overthrows the Gods–even if faith was never poisonous to the soul.

"What's the situation about the Faith?"

"According to our study, the limit of purification that the sparks provide is Tier 7. After that, there are signs of contamination.

Edward read the research's date. The group captured the most powerful God in Heaven and the Devil Lord ruling the underworld. Both were Tier 7 and had an organ similar to the Divine Spark.

The Heaven Ruler absorbed faith, while the Devil Lord absorbed negative emotions. Their sparks can purify faith and negative emotions, but only to a limit. At their Tier, their souls have already displayed some signs of corruption.

"Any idea on how to fix the issue?"

"Yes, I plan to combine the Spark with the Divine Flame to enhance the purification process."

"Excellent idea. What else?"

"I've replicated most of the Divine Sparks abilities except for the method to use Karma Empowerment. In our battle with these two rulers, they used a Sacred Spell that reached Tier 8. We would have been in serious danger if not for the Floating City."

Lily showed the data to him. In her research, she created different Tiers clones before using some of Hermione's research to transfer positive and negative Karma onto these clones.

Then, she had them create their own Arcane Speak and use Sacred Spells. The Tier 1- Tier 3 Clones could use Sacred Spells to cast a spell one tier higher than themselves. However, the Arcane Spark no longer functioned from Tier 4 to higher. The Sacred Spells could boost the spell's strength, but it could not reach one Tier higher as the Heaven Ruler could.

Edward's eyes lit up after seeing this research. The angels and devil in Black Clover could also use their Karma to slightly boost their spells. And they could do it because of the difference in their souls. In contrast, the gods in this world can do it because of the Divine Spark.

Immediately, Edward began to combine the two research. He modified the Arcane Spark to temporarily modify an arcanist's soul frequency to be similar to the Konosuba Gods or Devils, thus allowing them to use their Karma and the perfect Sacred Spell.

"That should work," said Lily as she looked at the designed changes. Edward then sends her his research on devils and angels. "You can experiment on them independently to finish the design."

"Devils and angels? I wonder how these devils are different from this world?" muttered Lily as she gathered the data of both species to compare. Meanwhile, Edward saw she was deep in focus, so he left.

He did not forget to signal Snape that he could enter. Edward wanted to spend a little more time with his wives, but they ignored him on the account that they were busy. So, he finally went to meet Wiz.
