The next day:

Edward walked out of the room and immediately saw the team waiting for him.

"You should have made a decision?"

"Yes," replied Tobias. "We accept your offer."

After seeing how the Arcanist effortlessly decimated these top reincarnators, he knew he had no choice. So, he talked to the team and tried to convince him. Luckily, no one was stupid enough to refuse or pass on such a great opportunity.

"Excellent," replied Edward before taking out the Cube Artifacts and giving each person one–except for one person, Kingsley.

"What about me?" asked the Technomancer.

"Your situation is different," explained Edward. "You don't have a Soul Dimension, and based on my current technology level, I cannot guarantee I can hide from the Lord God."

"What does that mean for me and the mission?"

"You will be a dormant spy," explained Edward. "I will erase most of your memories and save them. Then, after studying your case and gathering more technology from the Samsara Hall, I will send one of them to contact you and 'activate' you."

Edward sighed. His previous plan for Kingsley was to create an artificial Soul Dimension for him. Unfortunately, he was not confident in hiding it from the Samsara Hall and the Purple-Robe Daoist.

So, he has to wait until he understands Kingsley's weird situation of why he is not affected by the rules of other Universes. He also has to wait for the Empire's soul technology to reach the same height as the magical side.

Luckily, he already has a direction of research. When he asked Kingsley why he did not have a soul, the latter once mentioned the soul was the result of quantum mechanics, the complex interactions of subatomic particles within the brain.

So, he will study how to hide information in these subatomic particles and their intricate interactions, achieving the same result as the Soul Dimension's Fourth Layer.

"As you wish," said Kingsley calmly. According to his analysis, being a dormant spy is safer in the early years because of his innocent status or lack of information.

He will be the same Kingsley before he meets the Arcanist until he awakens.

"So, what's next?" asked Tobias after fusing with the cube. He tried to find it inside his body with his Observation Haki, but it was futile.

Edward did not immediately answer him.

"Morgana, did you get all the coordinates I asked for?"

"I should finish calculating them tomorrow."

"Alright." He looked at the group. "I will leave this timeline tomorrow. You guys should return to God Space and wait until your next mission to contact.

"The Purple Robe Daoist should be keeping watch on you, so wait until a couple of missions before contacting me. Now, you only need to act normally."

"I'm nervous," said Michelle.

"You don't have to be," reassured Edward. He had his reasons for saying that. The artifact he gave them will be quite handy. His future self programmed it to do a variety of things, including subtly influencing their mind to be calmer in stressful situations.

It will also prevent their facial expressions and body language from changing and revealing certain information. Finally, it can even blur or seal their memories of this event, making it seem as if they knew nothing.

After reassuring the group, he proceeded to deal with the final preparations. He made it look as if he did light experiments on all the captured reincarnators–including Tobias' group.

Then, after Morgana got the coordinates for worlds like Fate, One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, World of Warcraft, Underworld, Resident Evil, and Rebirth of the 8th Circle Wizard, he left this timeline.

…

As soon as Edward left, the Samsara Hall sent a message that the mission in this world was terminated and all reincarnators would return immediately.

A white light enveloped Tobias, and after opening his eyes, he immediately discovered something was wrong. After every mission, he would return to his personal room, a pocket dimension over which he has complete control.

And by using Samsara Points, he can design the room however he wishes; he could turn it into an experiment room or a divine place like Asgard. His personal room imitated Water Seven from one piece and was full of training places like Gravity Room.

However, he was now in an all-white room with many others; to be precise, with all the people who participated in the previous mission–including the Tier 8 Reincarnators.

He saw an enormous light that was scanning everyone's presents. So, a look of worry and fear appeared on his face. His movement was so natural that Tobias himself did not notice any anomaly.

Everything proceeded normally until the scanning light reached two people. Tobias recognized these two–Tamat and Bai Li.

Suddenly, something came out of these two's bodies and appeared in this white room. Every reincarnators recognized this person as the Arcanist who captured them.

Then, they realized why this Arcanist did nothing to them besides a few experiments–he wanted to use these top reincarnators to invade the God Space.

As soon as Edward's clones appeared, they did not waste time and began bombarding this place with powerful spells. So, hundreds of magic circles appeared in the sky, bombarding the white space with terrible attacks.

Unfortunately, a mysterious power appeared and easily dealt with his attacks. Then, a strange fluctuation emanated from the room, and the clone stopped. They discovered their mana stopped working.

'Anti-Magic?' thought of the clones before sneering. They converted the mana inside their bodies into different energy before continuing their bombardment.

The clones made it look as if their only objective was to get out of this place and access the highest secrets of the Samsara Hall. However, they could not leave the room, and the power of the Samsara Hall would use ways to deal with whatever energy they switched to.

In the end, the clones acted ruthlessly and attacked the reincarnators; they had no reserve in their desire to use these people as pawns. Luckily, according to his calculations, the Samsara Hall intervened and saved these people.

However, this was not Edward's final trump card. Before leaving, he secretly went to the reincarnators' planet and gave the clones he left in their bodies some Void Energy.

He processed this Void Energy to suppress the Creation Characteristics and boost the Destruction and Space-Time. So, when the clones used it, it was truly a weapon of pure chaos and destruction.

Unfortunately, even this attempt failed.

The power from the Samsara Hall became more intense and easily dealt with these Void Energies. In the end, the clones exploded themselves and erased all traces of their existence.

Then, the group stayed in the white room for more than 8 hours before they were allowed to leave.

Blank Realm, the space between dimensions or timeline:

"Fail?" muttered Edward as he sensed the fate of his clones. Although he wished they could achieve something, his main objective was to use them as a distraction and remove suspicions from Tobias' group.

Of course, he also used them to gather more information. During their mad bombing of the white space, the clones were also gathering data by scanning the surroundings.

"Well, it doesn't matter since the first step is completed," muttered Edward before returning to his timeline.

Although he was only gone for a few days, it felt like years because of how much happened in such a short time. Plus, he missed Tsunade's blessed asse…face; yes, he missed her beautiful face.

After returning, Edward felt peaceful. Then, he also felt a sense of repulsion from the entire universe.

"It seems I don't have much time left."

He knew the Universe Will was beginning to reject his presence in this universe and wished to expel or banish him. Luckily, he still has time to do a few more things as he waits for his ride to come pick him up.
