Edward walked to the dining room, where everybody waited, "Where is my daughter?"

"Charmy went to hang out with the Black Bull Members."

"She abandoned me. How sad," he said, pouting before sitting down. Then, he looked at Hermione. "How was your voyage?"

"Now you remember me?"

"Don't be jealous of a kid."

"You mean don't eat the vinegar of a kid," said Susan while giggling.

"I should have said that," responded Edward with regret.

"You two, stop playing around," chimed Amelia before looking at Luna. "How are you feeling? Is everything alright?"

"Yes, don't worry. I'll tell you what happens later. Let's focus on Hermione's trip. Tell us what happened."

Hermione then explained everything that had occurred since her arrival. She told them how the group voted to become the Empire's subordinate, so she built a Planar Gate connecting to the Eques Plane. She explained the knight power systems and the resources available on the plane.

"The knight system must be hidden due to the possible political ramification," said Olivier. "Until we can remove the Soul Limit and create ways for Magical Arcanist to reach Tier 9, this thing must never see the light of day."

"I had the same idea," commented Hermione. "However, someone should study this system and update the Aura Master Profession, creating a perfect system from Tier 1 to 9."

"This research is perfect for me, but I'm busy. So, it has to wait," added Olivier. She has long decided to focus more on Aura Master as a primary class, while magic would be a subclass since she has a natural talent for it. However, before, Aura Master was not a perfect or complete class.

"Do you think a plane actively controls the resources it evolves?" asked Wiz.

"What do you mean?"

"I glance at the resources in this new plane and realize most served to help train the body and the knight system in general. So, is it possible the Planar Will would evolve the resources of a plane based on its power system?"

"That's an interesting conjecture. It would not make sense for a plane only to have magical resources when its main power system is Psychic Energy based. So, you're probably correct," commented Rowena.

"You should study this subject," suggested Fleur.

"I will, but I'm also busy." Wiz had to ensure the successful integration of undead into the Empire. The mere fact that one of the Empress is also an undead did help the situation, but many citizens are having a hard time accepting living with skeletons, ghouls, zombies, and a bunch of other dark creatures. Nevertheless, things are heading in a positive way since most of the undead were turned against their will, and they contributed significantly to the current war.

"Ollie, do you want to hire some knights to participate in the war?" asked Hermione.

"No need. It's best to hide the existence of planes from the public until after the war. And we don't need the military aid."

"How about other planar exposition? Do we need to prepare for another one?"

"We have the coordinate of the Abyss and Dream Plane. However, these are Tier 10 Planes, so we are not touching them," commented Rowena. "The only other choice is the Starkin race's plane."

"To conquer a Tier 9 plane would require Edward's Floating City, but it cannot leave for now," stated Olivier.

"Speaking of which, why are you so quiet?" asked Susan, who always finds these family dinners fascinating since she always learned the oddest secrets.

"He's only this quiet once his mind concocts some crazy idea," said his mother.

"You're right, as always, mother," he replied before feeding her some of his food, and she accepted joyfully.

"Do you guys remember the Otsutsuki's Divine Tree?"

"From the Naruto World you told us about?"

"Yes. I've been thinking if it's possible to modify the tree to condense Mana Fruit instead of Chakra Fruit."

"You want to plant this tree into other planes to condense Mana Fruit to gather mana rapidly?" said Rowena.

"Exactly. And it does not only need to be mana. We could modify the tree to contain time power, and they can gather the knowledge of a plane and condense it in the shape of a fruit."

"A fruit of knowledge that grants its owner all the knowledge of the past of that plane," summarized Fleur, making everyone's eyes light up.

"There are many other possibilities with this fruit," added Olivier. "We could feed it blood and energy to condense a Fruit of Lifespan. Or better yet, feed the tree souls for a Soul Fruit and effectively deal with the Soul Limitation issue. However, creating a natural way to remove the limitation would be best."

"These plans are good and all. But planting the God Tree on a planet and planting it on an entire plane is not the same thing," said the quiet Bellatrix. "It won't be as easy as you guys said."

"That's not an issue. Vengeance from the Golden Dawn used World Tree Magic with space attribute and is perfectly suitable to take root in a place's source. I can fuse them to achieve my purpose. The biggest issue is how to make the tree condense Knowledge Fruit."

Edward was confident in modifying the tree to condense Mana, Blood, Soul, or other types of fruits. However, he was not optimistic about quickly overcoming the technical difficulty of condensing the Knowledge Fruit. He has to be precise and have the tree scan the plane's past, gather all the knowledge ever written, and condense it into a fruit.

"Are you already planning on traveling again?" asked his mother, Joanna.

"Yes. I was thinking of a short voyage: I go in and get what I want before quickly returning."

: Is it wise to leave in a situation like this?" asked Olivier.

"I won't take long," replied Edward. "Plus, I would leave my floating city with you."

"You must attend the Starskin Race's surrender ceremony before you leave," said Amelia. They delayed the announcement because of Luna's situation. But she was okay now.

"Plus, you have to be quick," added Olivier. "Guzznad will not stay still and watch us become more powerful. We are now in the war's end game, and we need you to act as a hero before we can unite the Milky Way."

"Fine," replied Edward. "Does anyone want to go with me?"

Unfortunately, no one wanted to go with him since they were all busy with their own things. Even Susan was working on this secret project, making the family happy that the little girl finally decided to place her talent to use. Although there is nothing wrong with being a painter, many people felt she was wasting her talent.

"Whatever, I'll go alone."

The next few days, Edward focused on dealing with the things he needed to do. And as expected, the news of the Starskin race did cause turbulence in the galaxy, bringing pressure to the surviving factions–especially the elves.

"We need to begin naming these floating cities," muttered Edward before using one of the two created during his absence. He had Morgana get everything prepared before entering the void.

"Activating Void Traveling," said the little elf. Edward saw he entered a world of gray, feeling as if he was traveling at an incalculable distance. Suddenly, everything began to shake.

"What's going on?"

"An anomaly has been detected," said Morgana with a worried face. Her eyes seemed to glow with wisdom. "Master, we have to use the emergency procedure."

"What?"

"No time to explain."

A grey shield suddenly manifested around Edward. Then, he felt an explosion before everything went dark. Despite not seeing anything, he felt he was traveling a long distance, and there were many disturbances in the process. Unfortunately, his consciousness was coming in and out, so he could not observe what had occurred.

"Where…Where am I?" Edward asked softly as he looked at his surrounding. He saw two people, making him on guard. However, his vision was still blurred.

"You really survived such injuries," asked a voice with great surprise. "Are you even human?"

Edward took a moment to clear his mind, blurry vision, and the ringing sound in his ear. He first dealt with his auditory issue and recognized the person who spoke was a woman.

"Give me a moment," he said in a rasping voice.

"You can even speak? I thought your vocal chord was destroyed," replied the voice. Edward grunted as he closed his eyes to recuperate. When he opened his eyes, he finally saw his surrounding.

"What a beautiful woman," he declared. "And well-endowed too."

"Brat, what did you say?" said the woman.

"Sorry, I'm a little groggy, making me lose my filter," Edward said with difficulty. "But Lady Tsunade, don't call me a brat."

"I'll call you brat since you're a brat."

"With my age, I can be your great-great-great-great-great grandfather, if not more."

Tsunade wanted to sneer at these words, but she remembered this person's inhumane healing ability, indicating he might not be normal or even human.

"Wait, how do you know my name? Are you a spy from another village?"
