Chapter 608: Morgana\'s Small Update
But now, things have become even more complicated. All timelines were fusing, meaning Loki\'s Yggdrasil Tree will revert to a state of a single [Sacred Timeline], which would then compete with the [Sacred Timeline] of Marvel Comics, leaving one timeline that has experienced a brutal eliminating process.
\'It seems this is how Marvel and DC Universes have chosen to prepare for the upcoming war,\' Edward thought. \'GoS (God of Stories) Loki should know this, so what is his plan? I don\'t believe for a moment he did not notice my existence, but he did nothing.\'
There are many possible answers to this question. GoS Loki might not care since his strength guarantees he will survive the [Convergence].
\'Many signs show that his new position is a prison as he cannot leave the core of Yggdrasil or intervene much in other timelines. Maybe this Convergence is a way for him to escape,\' Edward analyzed.
\'No, things will never be this simple. GoS Loki went from a small fry of less than Tier 5 to Tier 12 in one event. Such power cannot be granted without a price and is not something he should have been able to achieve on his own. The Universe Will likely grant him this position to ensure the Multiverse proceeds smoothly.
\'Then, the Convergence happened, complicating the entire situation.\'
Edward grunted as he was mildly annoyed for many reasons. He knew many people were more powerful than him in this universe, but knowing one was so close and powerful and might be secretly watching him — it was not a good feeling. It did not help that a being like GoS Loki could not be observed through the time stone, time magic, or divination.
\'Forget it since I can do nothing except prepare for the worst-case scenario.\' He opened a portal outside of Wakanda and waited. He did not wait long as a delegate soon appeared outside to greet him."We\'ve been waiting for your arrival," King T\'Chaka said.
"By your words, I\'m guessing it is good news?"
"Yes, we have agreed to exchange vibranium for your photonic crystals. This is the agreed-upon contract."
Doral Milaj handed Edward a contract, and he read it instantly. There was nothing wrong with the contract, and it was not even magical. The only negative aspect was that vibranium was valued at at least 20% higher than what he expected it to be worth. Of course, he hasn\'t studied vibranium, so his estimate might be off. Regardless, Edward did not care about the price as his main target was to make allies, so he was willing to make a small loss in their first exchange.
"I see nothing wrong," he said before signing it. Then, a box full of photonic crystals appeared before him. The Wakandans brought the vibranium, and both left. Although this was their first exchange, it was relatively peaceful, with the hope of further cooperation.
Edward headed to his tower to start his research. He did not immediately analyze the vibranium but entered a special room and activated all the enchantments. The time and soul stones floated at the center and after a few seconds of the time the stone utilized its power, dozens of soul stones appeared in the room, releasing an intense amount of energy.
Most of the energy went to Edward\'s achievements of Soul Divinity, while the rest went to his chest, where he started building a second heart — the Dragon Heart. The heart was unique as the amount of cells it contained was astronomical. Then, Edward started storing mana in these trillions upon trillions of cells to increase his strength.
"How is it looking?"
"Everything is fine," Morgana replied after monitoring his vitals. "We can store mana in other cells in your body, meaning your body and [Aura] will increase, so we don\'t have to worry about the body being unable to bear the new heart.\'
"Excellent. Can we enter {Passive Training Mode]?"
"It will remove some of my process power, but it\'s not a major deal."
"Then do it."
Morgana took control of gathering mana in the heart while Edward focused on his to-do list. His first task was the Speed Force. He had all the data he needed from Barry Allen, so he delved into the project. Edward began to engrave runes and magic circles in the air, and he did not stop even after billions of them. Once in a while, he will add rare ores at specific occasions or inject unique energies into the enchantments.
After an unknown amount of time, Edward was left with a red cube that released red lightning all over the room. "How is it?"
"Everything is running fine," Morgana said, her eyes shining brightly.
"In that case, let\'s begin the last step."
"Good. Installing new server…Success…Beginning fusion process…Transitioning [Speed Characteristics] into [Speed of Thought Characteristics]...Transition Complete."
Her small elf\'s body released a golden light as soon as she finished these words. Once everything ended, her purple hair contained traces of red, making her more lively than ever.
"Was this necessary?" Edward rolled his eyes. The true transformation won\'t occur until he fuses the Speed Force with her primary server back home.
"Yes."
"Whatever. Let\'s test what you can do. Analyze the vibranium we received."
"As you wish." She swiftly scans one sample. "Wow, this thing is amazing."
"It is?"
"Its main traits like energy absorption, nearly indestructible, and vibration manipulations are nothing special, but its greatest asset is its versatility."
A screen appeared before Edward with all the data she had calculated with such a brief scan. \'So much?\' he thought.
"Its greatest asset is versatility and adaptation," Morgana explained. "According to my calculation and simulations, vibranium will positively increase the properties of all ores and alloys once fused with it, including both magical and nonmagical materials. Moreover, this is true for 97% of all recorded materials of the Empire."
"Really?"
"Yes, and guess this, it\'s an even better material for the floating cities than magicium."
"You\'re serious?" Edward created magicium especially to navigate the Void Energy in the Void.
"Magicium can only resist the corroding of void energy, and with the Void Shield, we still have to use a lot of money to repair the floating city after every voyage. But if we add vibranium, magicium will gain the ability to adapt to void energy until it becomes resistant."
"That is good news," Edward nodded.
"There are more. Many projects deemed impossible due to material engineering can be completed with the addition of vibranium, including the creation of Ea."
Edward smiled as this was more good news.
"Can we artificially synthesize it?"
"We have the technology," Morgana said with a frown.
"But?"
"It\'s a very complex metal, so the yield will not meet our needs." She can foresee how much this metal will be a fundamental part of the Empire\'s development.
"So, we need more mines?" Edward muttered. "There should be a few places in the universe where it\'s naturally occurring. Send golems to mind them; if it\'s not enough, send them to plunder the multiverse."
"I already scanned the following 50 galaxies and found a few places with large and small reserves," Morgana showed him a map as she ordered the golems to their destination. "However, I recommend we be careful with large-scale interference of the multiverse in this place."
"You have a point," Edward nodded. " Now, let\'s focus on more pressing issues."
