Chapter 462: New Rules
The sealing Jutsus of this world has many applications. When he visited The Mummy 4 Universe, he kidnapped the protagonist named Nick, who had a unique body granted to him by Yahweh.
This body allowed Nick to seal weak Gods and use their power for themselves. Over the years, Edward managed to recreate some of the abilities of that unique physique. And now, with this world's sealing technique, he can do even more.
It's not impossible for him to create a unique class of Arcanists that seals powerful entities in their bodies and draws their power. These entities can be Gods, Demons, Abyss Devils, Immortal Cultivators, Buddhas, and so on.
"Huh, I can't take off a good name for this profession," muttered Edward. "Should I just call them Arcane Jinchuriki?"
"That's a terrible name," said Morgana.
"Do you have any better ideas?"
"How about Divine Vessel Arcanists?"
"They are indeed vessels for these beings, so it's a great name," nodded Edward. "However, I will reject it just because of your previous rudeness."
"Are you going to be this petty?"
"I am," replied Edward before ignoring her. He took a moment to improve this new profession. He can combine Hermione's Summoning Talent to create a unique Summoning Ritual for the Divine Vessel Arcanists.
The ritual would allow them to summon the best creature suitable for their talent, personality, and elemental affinity. These summonses would be from different planes, dimensions, and even parallel timelines.
Edward modified the ritual accordingly to increase the scope. Then, he added preventive measures in case someone summons something they should not or were incapable of controlling.
Additionally, summons can take two paths; the first one is like Naruto, where they became partners with their summons, or the second, where they essentially enslaved the latter.
"This profession seems a little dangerous," commented Morgana after seeing the final result.
'You're correct. So, let's make it into law that Tier 4 or above summons need to be supervised by the Empire. Moreover, all summons will take place in a pocket dimension that is prepared to self-destruct at any time."
"I'm not just referring to this. This profession could make us the enemy of all races in the universe."
"I understand your concern," nodded Edward. No race would accept a magic system that involved hunting and taking them into captivity.
"This profession will not become too popular because of the major flaw that people will lose most of their powers if their summons is dead or removed from their bodies.
"Plus, we can encourage people to form a contract or bond with their contract instead of forcing them–unless dealing with evil or chaotic creatures."
Edward knew the true purpose of this system was to give Arcanists another method of survival and increase their strength. Most of them will probably be interested in creatures or entities with unique abilities.
Then, they will choose to seal them in their bodies or other magic artifacts to use their strength or unique abilities.
"That's fine. We can encourage people to hunt their summons instead; this is a safer way."
Morgana worried about some powerful entities using this opportunity to find their plane and invade. Luckily, her boss has always been a steady type of person, always considering and preparing for the worse case situation.
"We can also ask the Divine Vessel Arcanists to make oaths not to abuse this system, making enemies all over the universe and other planes," added Morgana, and Edward nodded with her.
The two continued their conversation to further refine this system. They decided to choose another plane where all the Divine Vessels Arcanists to make their summons. As such, in case something happens, the Empire will have time to react and even abandon that plane if necessary.
Then, Edward went to the last thing he was interested in this universe–the Pure Land. This place is essentially the afterlife of the Naruto Universe.
Back home, Edward discovered the Earth was one of the few, if not the only, place in the universe with its own independent Underworld. And after defeating Herpo, he took control of this place.
At least, he tried to. Unfortunately, so far, things have been proceeding slowly. His plan is for Bellatrix to master Death Rules and have complete control of the Underworld.
In the future, the Empire's citizens will not have to worry about their afterlife; they don't have to worry about some unknown God or entity having control of their souls.
Furthermore, with control of the Underworld, the Empire can quickly become a civilization where death is no longer a mystery but also meaningless.
Unfortunately, the process is not smooth. Bellatrix is far away from controlling or mastering Death Rules. Furthermore, she has been busy dealing with the undead during the war.
Finally, before Edward left, he did not completely eradicate Herpo's influence or power in the underworld.
So, he wanted to visit the Pure Land to see if he could learn and benefit from it. When he leaves this place, he will also take it away. After returning home, Edward has not decided whether to fuse it with the Underworld or leave it as a separate thing.
He took one step and teleported to the Pure Land. No one detected his arrival as he floated in the air. He gazed at this near-infinite space and could see endless souls.
Edward discovered this place was divided into three areas: Purgatory, Hell, Reincarnation Hall, and Pure Land.
Purgatory is where people with regrets or waiting for someone in the land of the living. From his memory he remembered Kakashi's father staying in this place before he met his son.
Hell is where evil individuals pay for their crimes. The Reincarnation Hall is the place where people who want a chance at a second life will go. However, they won't remember the memories of their past life.
Edward discovered there were not many people in this area. Most people stayed in the Pure Land, a place where their souls could remain happy and free from worries for the rest of eternity.
Edward focused on a special creature in this place–the Shinigami. He discovered they had a leader–the Shinigami King.
'Tier 8? This Shinigami King has reached the pinnacle of this world,' thought Edward before continuing studying this place. He spent the next few days secretly studying every inch of this place.
"Although I knew this would be the case, I'm still a little disappointed,' muttered Edward. He thought this place could help him permanently deal with the Soul Limit.
"I may have to go to the MCU and Bleach to solve this issue."
He shook his head as his study was not futile. He closed his eyes as he remembered numerous pieces of knowledge in his mind. He started from his knowledge of biology, anatomy, the Life Code, the Soul, Reincarnation Spells, and Resurrecting Spells.
Edward entered a deep state of meditation as he overviewed his overwhelming knowledge. Then, a strange fluctuation emanated from his body.
'Success,' he thought as he opened his eyes with a smile. Then, two chains appeared in his hand.
"Life and Soul Authority."
(AN: if you have a better name suggestion than Divine Vessel Arcanist, I'm open to suggestions. I think this name is good but you guys might have a better one.)
