The concept of Origin Rune is something Edward recently came up with after his previous epiphany after seeing the birth and death of the universe. Unfortunately, he tried to search the Akashic Records to see if his conjecture was correct, but his request was beyond his security level.

The theory is very simple. In his universe is the existence of Ancient Runes, which he used as the basis of his Arcane Rune System. However, runes are not only available in the Harry Potter Universe.

In many universes, runes–which are the embodiment of the idea that words have powers–exist and are used in many magic systems. But where do runes come from? For example, what is the origin of the Ancient Runes in Harry Potter?”

The answer is simple: Primordial Runes. According to legend Edward gathered, Primordial Runes were the first ever words ever spoken in the universe. Elder Gods used their powers to stabilize the universe after its creation. Primordial Runes are the manifestation of the Rules of the Universe, thus containing tremendous powers.

After mana returned to the environment, many citizens of the Empire suddenly awakened powers manifesting in the shape of runes in their Soul Dimension. These runes are shards of Primordial Runes.

After many years and using the Elder Gods’ Divine Sparks that used to be the Rooms of Mysteries, the Empire was able to recreate a few Primordial Runes. However, their powers have not been completely analyzed or utilized yet.

Edward hasn’t even integrated them into his Arcane Rune System and elevated it to a higher level. However, after his epiphany, he became even bolder and more ambitious.

Other universes has Primordial Runes. He has heard legends of the All-Father, Odin, who sacrificed one of its eyes to acquire knowledge and power. And in many of these myths and legends, the knowledge was in the form of Primordial Runes.

Then, with this knowledge, Edward continued to theorize. Since many universes have Primordial Runes, could there be something above it? Could there be runes that are the source of all Primordial Runes?

Edward named these theoretical runes Origin Rune or Void Rune since such runes would have the power to affect the entire Void.

“Previously, I had no basis for the concept of Origin Rune–until today.” His eyes lit up as he gazed at the tiny character in Hernandes’ soul.

‘My original plan was to analyze different Primordial Runes and take their essence before deducing the Origin Rune. And if it did not exist, I would create it. But now, I might have an opportunity to come in contact with it.’

Edward quickly controlled his emotions. Although he knew there was a possibility he was wrong, and this character was not an Origin Rune, it did not matter. This strange rune itself was valuable to study. So, he focused as she tried to remember it.

Soon, Edward frowned.

‘I have an eidetic memory and cannot forget anything I see. But I seem to forget this rune with each passing second.’

He discovered his memory was falling him, and even his powerful soul could not help.

“Morgana, try to memorize this rune.”

The little elf appeared and immediately looked at the rune with a serious face.

“How is it?”

“Every 15 seconds, my database loses information regarding this rune.”

“Is there a solution?”

“Simple: keep memorizing it.”

Edward understood her meaning. The rune is a piece of data that is forcibly erased every 15 seconds. So, she will copy and paste the entire thing before it is erased, repeating the process infinitely, thus keeping the data.

“Firstly, I need to complete memorizing the rune.”

Edward nodded. Just remembering the character did not mean someone remembered the runes. The rune was constantly releasing different auras, energy waves, fluctuations, vibrations, and other mysterious power. And Morgana needs to remember all these things and record them.

“Secondly, I will need at least 40% of my computing power dedicated to remembering this rune.”

“40%!” Edward was genuinely shocked. After creating the Tier 10 Floating City, he updated Morgana’s primary server to the same level. So, with such power, she controlled Skynet and almost every system of the Empire. Yet, she needed 40% of her processing power to remember one rune.

“And that’s only a rough estimate,” added the little elf, making Edward frown.

“Will that affect the Empire’s operation?”

“Yes,” she replied. “Many systems will shut down or operate at the lowest level. However, the situation can be alleviated as long as they build more subsidiary servers.”

“Fine, doing it,” ordered Edward. “Give priority to the military systems: we don’t want anything to affect the war.”

“As you wish,” nodded Morgana. “You should also understand I will be unavailable once I begin.”

“Don’t worry: I will use the sub-brain system.”

Edward planned for the worse situation in case Morgana was not available. So, he created a Bio-Computer using copies of his Brain. He can link with it and use it as Morgana’s temporary replacement.

“How long will it take?”

“About three months.”

“Based on this person’s Soul Dimension, three months equals seven days on the outside. That’s too long,” frowned Edward.

“If you add your soul process power and the sub-brain system, the time should be reduced to seven hours outside,” commented Morgana.

“Alright, let’s do this. Before then, let me prepare.”

Edward exited Hernandes’ Soul Dimension and pointed to the floor. After a while, light flew from his hand and entered the earth. Then, he teleported away with the young man’s body.

…

“What is it?” asked Madara, looking at the woman before him with his Rinnegan. He did not trust these foreigners with weird powers that claimed to be from different dimensions. Unfortunately, they were powerful, and he needed their strength to win this war and accomplish his dreams.

“A new enemy has appeared,” said Commander Sasha, dressed in modern clothes with a pantsuit.

“What enemy?” asked Madara with a frown.

“One more powerful than any of us. Someone with the power to annihilate the entire planet with a wave of their hands.”

“Is also from another dimension?”

“Yes, but he’s different than us.”

“How different?”

“It’s complicated.”

“Is that so?” he said, looking deep into Sasha’s eyes. “Well, I know.”

“Lord Mad–”

“You’ve warned me, so you can leave.”

Sasha looked at him with gritted teeth but did not continue talking. She used a Charm Spell to make Madara feel she was similar to her brother–Izuna Uchiha; that’s how she gained some trust in him and became the Commander.

Unfortunately, this trust did not last long with the appearance of more reincarnation and Madara’s acquiring the Ten-Tails and gaining more power.

‘Danm it. I thought I could ally with him to survive the threat of the Legendary Arcanists. Who thought he would be so stubborn and suspicious,’ thought Sasha as she returned to her command post, thinking about the current situation.

Time was not on her side, and she already made the wrong move by trying to convince Madara.

“Commander, two people came to see you.”

Sasha frowned, “Who is it?” Time was of the essence, and she did not want to waste it on anybody.

“It’s Tobias and Michelle.”

“Them? Let them in.” She remembered that lad Tobias was very cunning and could be a great ally. Although his strength was not to the standard she would want, in the current situation, strength was meaningless.

“What do you want?” she asked directly.

“I have a plan to survive this situation,” said Tobias directly.

“Oh, I’m all ears,” replied Sasha, trying to conceal her excitement.

“Do you know why we must survive for three days?”

“Isn’t this the time for the Samsara Hall to find the Legendary Arcanist and eliminate him?”

Michelle nodded as she thought the same.

“The Samsara Hall will not directly interfere until the last minute,” Tobias continued. “So, the three days is the time for the people from the Otsutsuki Battlefield to return here.”

The two women squinted their eyes. The Naruto World had two battlefields: the Ninja Planet Battlefield and the Otsutsuki Battlefield, where the main brain exists along with their God–Lord Shibai.

And on that battlefield, countless Tier 8 Powerhouses from the Samsara Hall are doing their missions.

“What is your plan?” asked Sasha.
