Chapter 721: Ethan's Cosmos

Thea was very happy, not only that she finally won a victory, but more importantly, she was finally able to apply Meteor Fist in actual combat.

Compared to a shower of meteors that hit Ethan with a wave of his hand, Thea can only shoot a meteor now, but it's a good start, not to mention the power of this move is right there, ordinary people can't stand a punch at all.

It can be said that if Miss Thea hits the criminals in Star City, if people who don't know her let her punch, then when Thea really swings her fist, the enemy will not even have a chance to dodge——Meteor Fist Ordinary speed people can't react at all. Unless they predict and dodge in advance, it depends on whether Thea has reservations, otherwise it is impossible to dodge.

Coupled with long-term combat practice, Thea's swordsmanship level has been greatly improved, and she also knows how to release those auxiliary spells at the right time. It can be said that Thea's basic training is over, and she needs to practice slowly by herself, and learn new things appropriately while accumulating magic power.

"So... I graduated?"

"Not yet."

Ethan looked at the excited Thea in front of him, and took a pendant similar to a dog tag and handed it over: "You will not be considered a graduate until you can truly master this piece of equipment."

Thea took the pendant that Ethan handed over. The pattern on the rectangular dog tag-shaped pendant seemed to be a pegasus?

She remembered the warrior who Ethan had mentioned back then, who served the goddess Athena. That move was called the 'Pegasus Meteor Fist', and there should be some connection between it.

"What's this?"

"The warriors who serve Athena are called saints. The standard equipment of these saints is the holy clothes with magical power... The one you got is of course not the original one, it is a replica I made casually."

Although it is an imitation, the equipment made by a god, even if it is an imitation, cannot be regarded as ordinary equipment. Although Thea does not know what the so-called holy clothing looks like and what magical effect it has, but She is still very happy to get such a 'gift', which proves that her performance is not bad?

Thea left happily, while Oliver continued to exercise. What happened in Star City last year made him aware of his lack of strength, especially with Thea, a reference point for obvious improvement. Down.

He also wants to improve his strength so that he can better solve all kinds of troubles in Star City, but as an ordinary person, he doesn't know which direction he should work on now.

Strictly speaking, although Oliver's hands-on ability is not bad, it is incomparable with Batman, a guy who cheats. Except for making some special arrows, most of the equipment is purchased and finished, and he seriously lacks the ability to create independently.

He could ask Tony for help, but Tony's suggestions were more 'powerful' offensive weapons. After that, Oliver would not ask Tony. If he strengthened himself according to Tony Stark's suggestion, Oliver felt that he would Not to maintain law and order, but to destroy or occupy Star City.

Because Oliver repeatedly 'vetoed' Tony's proposals, Tony's temper is still talking to him now, which is already giving Oliver face: he wants to come to see Green Arrow himself, even if he is upset, he can only bear it.

Compared to chatting with Oliver or something, Tony is simply enjoying life now, and it’s better to come here for a vacation. By the way, he can practice magic in this world where no one disturbs him, and bring out some of the problems he encountered. Ethan discusses.

Tony is indeed a genius, but that doesn't mean geniuses don't have problems.

Usually, he would slowly figure it out by himself, or conduct various experiments to get the answer, but he didn't mind asking others for advice when necessary, not to mention that he was facing Ethan who taught him magic, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. OK.

"So, in any universe there is energy."

"Yes."

Energy exists in any universe, because the existence of the universe itself requires energy.

It's just that most of the energies are difficult for mages to use, or those energies are incompatible with "most ordinary mages", so they are not classified as magical energy in a broad sense.

"But this does not mean that these energies cannot be used to use magic at all. As long as you understand the nature of energy more and more, and your own control over energy is strong enough, these energies can also be used to cast spells."

Just like what Ethan understood back then: Magicians are groups that use energy to achieve their goals.

"I feel more and more that mages are actually pursuing the essence of this world."

Anyone and any object is "using" energy. Isn't it that human beings eat to absorb energy that can be consumed by themselves?

"So energy is everywhere..." Tony froze for a moment, and suddenly remembered a line: "The force is everywhere..."

Ethan pointed to Tony with a smile, it seems that he also thought of it.

In Ethan's view, the so-called force is also the energy that exists in the universe itself, and the practice of a Jedi knight is to feel, get close to, and use various energies that already exist in the universe.

Ethan thinks that the different understandings of the Jedi Knights on the Force are all correct: the energy contained in the universe has various characteristics. Although the Jedi Knights are all in contact with the same Force when they practice ’, but depending on the individual’s situation, you will also be exposed to the part of the huge and complex force that is closer to you, so there will be various interpretations of the force.

"So I'm actually a Jedi, too?"

"That's not necessarily the case. I don't know what other special features the Jedi Knights have. After all, I haven't really come into contact with this group."

Perhaps in the eyes of the Jedi Knights, Tony, who can only use "part of the special force", is just a heretic who has gone astray? Maybe they see the same kind of people as the Sith who fell to the dark side of the force?

"But the way you taught Thea to use energy is the theory of how Jedi knights use the Force?"

"Some references."

Regardless of the Jedi or Sith, their own strength is severely constrained by the general environment. When the positive energy in the universe is relatively active, the Jedi who are more inclined to the light will have the upper hand. The Jedi Knights can exert amazing combat power and make great achievements. All kinds of amazing things.

And when the dark side is more active, it's the Sith.

Although practitioners who use the Force will be strengthened by the Force and have a very long lifespan, it seems that no one can escape the oppression of the environment. Maybe this is because all users of the Force use the same energy source? Therefore, when the total amount remains unchanged, the energy properties of the environment will directly affect the user's strength.

This situation is not a problem for Ethan, whether it is light or darkness, it is the same in Ethan's eyes, he can use it as pure energy, and now he is not worried that these energies will Pollution' of his own psychic power, causing his personality to change.

If he's a Jedi, then he's definitely part of the Unity Force faction.

Thea is not good enough, she is too weak and fragile now, even with the special skills taught by Ethan, it is not easy to get too much external energy, so Ethan taught her not to cross her limits at the beginning.

"This kind of energy utilization technique called microcosm always feels a bit weird."

What Tony was talking about was the technique that Ethan taught Thea to use cosmic energy, or it can also be directly called the force. He found that this method, although it can perfectly transform the energy gathered from the outside into a pair of The user uses harmless pure energy, but he found that there seem to be two 'back doors' in this technique.

"Yes, one is the holy cloth, and the other is the god."

"ah?"

Ethan explained it briefly, and then Tony realized that when using this power called the small universe, if you have the holy cloth, it is equivalent to adding an external device, which allows the user to gather more and more powerful energy. And it can be converted into usable energy faster and better, and it will also share the burden caused by this part of the energy to ensure that the user will not be damaged.

As for the so-called gods...

The effect is similar to that of the holy cloth. When an extremely powerful existence stands behind the warrior and provides him with larger, purer and easier to drive energy, the power that the warrior can erupt It will be very, very scary, and can be perfectly integrated into its own small universe.

"Wait... Doesn't that mean..."

"Yes, if the god is willing, he can borrow his power time and time again, and at the same time affect the spirit and soul of this warrior little by little, making him more and more loyal."

"It doesn't sound like something a decent god would do..."

Ethan spread his hands. In fact, he didn't intend to do this on purpose. He just fiddled with this power usage technique and opened two back doors casually, and then he discovered that there would be such a 'side effect'.

The gap between gods and ordinary warriors is too great. When the power of gods can directly invade the spiritual world of this ordinary warrior, even gods who are not proficient in mind control can make the warrior feel better through years of 'intimate contact'. I got closer and even became an absolutely loyal subordinate.

This is not difficult to understand, even if you have a pet, if you have been in contact with it for a long time and given food and drink, this pet will be very close to the owner, not to mention this kind of unprotected spiritual contact, and it can save life from the gods. powerful force? Even if the god does nothing, the warrior will unconsciously become closer to the god he serves.

"But Thea learned a modified version, there is no second back door."

After Tony heard Ethan's words, he suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, you are still the Ethan I know."
