Once Edward finished his dissection, he learned a few things from these interdimensional beings that exist in the space between spaces. He reviewed the information he gathered.

"What interesting species," he muttered.

For one, he discovered that Interdimensional Beings are a Psychic species with tremendous latent psychic energy in their brains. They usually use it for communication with other species and themselves, along with other things.

The second main discovery is that their bodies are very adaptable or conductive to space-time energy. This is probably the result of their natural evolution as species that survived in the space between dimensions.

"Their bodies are perfect for making time-related magical items," muttered Edward as he reviewed the Life Code of this species. "Plus, with them, the Empire's development of Psychic Energy will take a great leap forward."

Narcissa and Soleil have been developing Psychic energy for many years, and they have made great progress. However, compared to other fields that have other knowledge to help them, their progress is quite mediocre in comparison.

However, after bringing the specimen of this species to them along with their knowledge, they should be able to develop more rapidly. Then, there is the development of Genetic Technology once these aliens' bodies are thoroughly studied.

Finally, Edward wrote down the value of these species and possible direction development that they can provide then. Then, he preserved the specimen before entering the flying saucer.

"How is it going? Did you discover anything?"

"A few things," replied Morgana. "Their technology tree is a combination of psychic energy and pure technology. The main engine of this ship seems to be a very wise and intricate use of black holes to travel from dimension to dimension. However, I have not completely deciphered it yet."

"Controlled Black Holes?" muttered Edward. "How long will it take you to completely reverse engineer their technology?"

"Honestly, it will take some time."

"Oh, is there a problem?"

"Yes. The information inside this flying saucer is very limited. From my observation, it is similar to some of the Navy Fleet. Although they contain powerful technology, the information regarding said technology is not on the ship's system.

"Additionally, after the crash, the mains system initiated the self-destruction system and removed a lot of information or parts crucial to these creatures' technology. Most likely a fail-safe left to prevent others from reverse-engineering it."

Edward pondered for a moment, "In that case, we will have to rely on the ship that is in Akator. Can we block Space to prevent them from using Interdimensional Travel?"

"With the Empire's current study in black holes, it should not be a problem to block them for a while."

"That's good enough. Where is the Crystal Skull?"

Soon after he said these words, a crystal skull appeared in front of him. Based on the clues Edward provided from his memories of the last Indiana Jones movie, Morgana was able to fetch the skull that was located in Peru. She even found the location of Akator where the owner of the skull is located.

"Call the others; I need them in case something goes wrong," said Edward. A few minutes later, he saw the three of them coming to see him. Based on their faces, obviously, they were not happy about being disturbed.

With just one look, Edward could tell that all of them were very close to reaching Tier 6. In just a few years, they should succeed.

"I'm sorry for disturbing all of you, but I need your help." Then, Edward explained the situation to them. Once everyone was ready, the group headed to Akator in the Amazon.

After meeting the Ugha tribes that protected the temple, Edward read their minds to learn their language and communicate with them. After a few lies and showing them the skull, he managed to get their understanding.

Then, he and the group placed Dimension Lock enchantment around the entire temple–which was a ship. Finally, Edward did the same on the crystal skull in his hand.

After analyzing this thing, he knew that a small piece of a soul was inside. So, he prepared beforehand. Once everything was done, he entered the temple to the room where all the Interdimensional Beings sat on their chairs with one of them missing his head.

Edward placed the skull in its rightful place and waited. Things proceeded exactly like in the movie. These beings began to activate, then, one of them used a Psychic Link to communicate with Edward, telling him that they would reward him for bringing the skull back to him.

And just like in the movie, just like Dr. Spalko asked, Edward said that he wanted to know everything, including all the knowledge of their species. And these Interdimensional Beings acquiesced to his demand.

Unfortunately, they made a grave error. Unlike Spalko, Edward's mind did not have a limit to the amount of knowledge it could contain. So, these beings' attempt at overwhelming him with too much information was useless. Not to mention that Edward had Morgana's help.

Once they discovered these, they tried to remove their connection, unfortunately, by then, it was not under their control as Edward had already used the enchantment he placed on the crystal skull to invade their mind and soul.

As a hive-mind species, the process was easier than anticipated because as long as one of them was infected, it was also easier to affect the others through their connections.

Meanwhile, these Interdimensional Beings also discovered that they could not return home as the space where they are located was blocked by a powerful force.

Immediately, they recognized that power: Sorcery.

They wanted to initiate counter-measures to deal with the situation but it was already too late. Edward had already got the knowledge he wanted, so he snapped his finger and that being feinted.

The psychic power inside his mind was sealed and his soul entered a dormant state. And without him, the spaceship also stopped activating.

"It seems that I was lucky," muttered Edward as he reviewed the information inside his mind. These interdimensional beings who called themselves Novad were partially responsible for the downfall of the gods in this universe.

After coming here, at first, they remained neutral in the conflict. However, many of the gods did not like them spreading knowledge to mortals and opening their wisdom.

So, they were forced to enter the war; they were the outside influence that Solomon talked about. Once the Novad participated in this war, it became a three-way war.

In the end, all the other pantheons were destroyed or severely injured leaving only Yahweh and the Novad. In the final battle, the two were severely injured and entered a state of recuperating.

Then, their conflict focused more on the mortal plane. Yahweh wanted to gather faith while the Novads spread technology to prevent humans from relying on the gods.

In the end, it could be said that the Novads were the final winner but things were not so simple. Currently, there are over a hundred million Christians all over the world. And if this world continues to develop similarly to Earth, the number will reach more than 2 billion by the 2010s.

'This Yahweh is not a simple god. Should I intervene in the growth of Christianity otherwise he might intervene in my plans?'

Edward's mind rushed as a plan began to brew inside his mind. However, he placed these thoughts in the back of his mind for now as he had other things to attain.

He walked to the Novad King in front of him. According to information he knew, the Novad species reproduced sexually like humans and also had classification between them.

The Kings and Queens in the species were born with tremendous Psychic Energy and had a very high status among their kind. One of the main reasons for that is they also could split themselves into many Nomads clones that were linked psychically.

This was the reason that there were 13 of them in the room when Edward came in. And these 13 were not the only ones; they were only the main ones. As for the rest, they were destroyed during the war, hence the reason that this Novad King was injured.

As for the one that Edward previously captured and dissected, he was a Warrior-Class Novad sent into this world because the Novad King stopped sending reports back to their race; they wanted to check whether something had happened to him.

Edward took a drop of blood from the fused Novad that no longer looked like a crystal skeleton, then he used a spell to copy this species' DNA and soul, then turn into its appearance.

Then, he converted a lot of his mana into Psychic Energy before entering the spaceship. That way, he was able to pass as the Novad King and easily gained access to it.
