Chapter 651: Uncontrollable Time
Although it was a bit hasty, it was impossible for Ethan to just stand here and watch Odin's soul core slowly collapse.
Odin did this on purpose: If you have a way, then do it! If you can't, it's not like I'm going to abandon you on purpose.
This is a test for Ethan, but it's not enough to really stump him.
Ethan stretched out his hands, his left hand was facing the soul in front of him, and his right hand outlined several mysterious symbols in succession. With the movement of his right hand, one after another mysterious runes and magic circles gradually formed, and then clusters of blue light The belt gradually surrounded and gathered on the outer layer of Odin's soul core, gradually enveloping it.
The blue energy slowly formed a shell, and Ethan's movements were just beginning. The gesture of his right hand suddenly changed, and the magic power on his left arm and the magic circle floating beside him suddenly turned green.
"Oh? This is..."
Gu Yi on the side recognized the nature of this energy. She had been watching Ethan's performance calmly, but this time her expression finally changed.
The green energy slowly enveloped the shell glowing with blue light, and slowly covered the shell with a layer. The two energies were entangled with each other but distinct in layers, and bursts of brilliance fluttered gently. Sen's movements became slower and slower, and finally seemed to be fixed, and all kinds of strange scenes disappeared.
Ethan let out a little breath, this time his movements were much more relaxed than before. His expression and posture before were obviously casting spells with all his strength; now he has returned to normal, putting one hand back in his trouser pocket, and swinging the other hand a few times at random is already the biggest movement, sometimes even moving None, at most slightly lift the chin.
Another layer of blue energy is wrapped around the green energy, this layer is much thicker, completely covering up the golden light emitted by the soul core.
The outermost layer is covered with layers of ice crystals, and as the ice crystals gradually thicken, the soul core, which was originally no more than the size of a football, has been wrapped layer by layer in a thick ice coffin about the size of a person.
At this point, Ethan finally withdrew his right hand, and at the same time as he withdrew his hand, the upright ice coffin slowly adjusted its posture, becoming horizontally suspended in mid-air at a height of one meter.
"This should be fine."
After Ethan finished all the actions, he observed back and forth again, and nodded in satisfaction after making sure that there was nothing missing.
The two people present were top-level spellcasters, and it was natural to see what Ethan had done in the series of actions just now. Frigg was also amazed at Ethan's current strength.
"There really isn't any problem with that."
Frigga's hand gently brushed over the ice coffin. Ethan's spell control is very powerful. The ice coffin is only a little cool to the touch, but this does not mean that the ice coffin is as fragile and invulnerable as it looks. Harmful, this happens because all the energy is well concentrated and restrained, without any leakage.
She can be sure that there are not many people in Asgard who can break this ice coffin, and the frost power in this ice coffin is very terrifying. If the energy contained in it is directly detonated, it will be enough to change the environment of Asgard.
"Go straight back to Asgard?"
"I have to trouble you again."
Ethan raised his hand lightly, and a blue light door appeared in front of Frigg, who could clearly see the situation on the other side. It was the Asgard she was very familiar with.
"I wanted to treat you well, but it seems that Master Gu Yi has something to do, so I have to wait for your next visit."
Frigga lightly raised her hand, and the ice coffin, which was already suspended in mid-air, adjusted its direction slightly, and slowly passed through the portal following Friggia's movements.
Then Frigga, Ethan, and Gu Yi arrived at the other side, and walked through the portal.
After the two people passed through the portal, the blue light gate automatically closed, but the remaining magical energy did not dissipate, instead it gathered and flew back to Ethan's side, and then disappeared into Ethan's body again. in vivo.
Gu Yi didn't speak until all these were over.
"You've grown faster than I could have imagined."
"After all, I have advantages that others don't have."
Being able to freely walk through multiple universe planes is a huge advantage. Ethan has almost never encountered bottlenecks along the way, and his strength has been steadily improving.
"Although you have some special advantages, if you don't work hard, there is no way to get to this point."
Gu paused, and mentioned the power Ethan used just now.
"And controlling time with one's own strength... It's not just hard work and some luck."
Ethan smiled. Although he wanted to admit that he was a genius, he actually cheated by using the power of time.
"It's not really time control."
"Time...is not a power that can be mastered casually."
From a certain level, time does not even exist, and such an ability that is difficult to define or even can be regarded as non-existent is far more difficult to grasp than some intuitive powers.
For example, the Eye of Agamotto, which is inlaid with the gem of time, does not require mages to comprehend the power of time at all. They just learn how to use this gem, and then they can manipulate time. This is not something that any mage can do: the singularity of the future Dr. Stephen Strange, when he used the Time Stone to restore two torn pages from the spellbook, shocked Wang and Mordo.
"Even if it's just 'borrowing', it's a remarkable achievement."
The power of time used by Ethan was indeed only borrowed. He borrowed the Eye of Agamotto to study it for a period of time, and added his own time-space pointer, so he gained more or less something.
After so many years of training and comprehension, and having stepped into a new realm, I have a higher level of understanding of these powers, and now I can barely 'borrow' some powers.
If the time gem is the switch of the power of "time" in this universe, the strong with the time gem can "borrow" the "time power" of this universe.
In Ethan's case, there is a sub-switch that can borrow the power of time in a small amount.
He can only use a little bit of time power in this universe, and he can't do it without the Marvel universe.
However, he also gradually found out about the power of time, so he wanted to get the time converter and study it carefully.
When the two of them were talking, they had already left the coast where they were before and came to Kama Taj.
It was not the first time for Ethan to come here, but his current appearance made Kama Taj's mages unable to recognize his identity at all. Most of them were just curious about the sudden return of a child by the ancient mage.
Most people thought that the child was picked up or rescued by Master Ancient One from outside, and wanted to stay in Karma Taj to raise and teach him.
It wasn't until Ethan greeted Modu that Modu realized Ethan's identity.
"You are..."
Ethan has been here a few times, and met Modu a few times. Modu doesn't know this mage who is not Kama Taj, but it can't be regarded as a complete ignorance after seeing a lot.
But Ethan's current appearance is too different from before, isn't it?
Also curious is Wang who is helping to pour tea. At this time, Wang is not stationed in other temples, nor is he in charge of guarding the library. He spends most of his time meditating in Kama Taj, and occasionally does some chores. .
"Don't worry, it's a good thing, but you need to grow up again."
Hearing what Ethan said, neither Modu nor Wang continued to ask, and the two left one after another. Compared to Modu leaving directly, Wang stayed outside the door to prevent others from disturbing Ethan's conversation with Gu Yi.
"Is it almost time?"
Gu Yi took a sip of tea, knowing what Ethan meant, she put down the teacup and nodded slightly.
"What was supposed to happen happened."
Ethan lightly tapped the table, and an image appeared in front of him, in which was a doctor with a long face working in the hospital.
"need my help?"
"When everything is ready, the rest of the things just let it happen naturally."
For example, Ethan arranged the retreat for Gu Yi, including the preservation of the soul and the reshaping of the body. These things have already been prepared, and then let things happen normally. The position of the supreme mage and handed over to Stephen Strange, who finally accepted his guidance.
"Although things will happen, it doesn't mean that I will 'die' immediately."
From being injured to undergoing multiple operations, Doctor Strange finally spent almost all his savings on a journey to find mysterious powers, and then found Kama Taj and then worshiped under the ancient one to receive training, and then grew from a layman who knew nothing to An outstanding mage, the time experienced during this period is not short.
In other words, the plot span of Doctor Strange is very long, at least more than one year or even close to two years, so there is no rush.
Gu Yi suddenly found Ethan, and wanted to ask Ethan if he was interested in helping to point out his heir.
"what?"
"I think the situation he will face in the future will be more complicated than what I have faced in so many years. Maybe you can teach him some special knowledge so that he can better protect the world."
Ethan scratched his face, and it was not a difficult request to teach Doctor Strange casually, but he was not sure when he would come.
"I came here this time to inform you that I have connected the universe I live in with this world. It may be more convenient for you to find me in the future."
He explained the situation to Gu Yi in detail, and at the same time told Gu Yi how to go to his side.
With Gu Yi's strength, she can directly locate the passage left by Ethan through spells, and then go to that universe by herself, without having to build a special teleportation array.
"It's very convenient, maybe I'll bother you more often in the future."
