Chapter 215 Ethan's Small Universe
Thea was very happy that not only she finally won a victory, but more importantly, she could finally apply the Meteor Fist to actual combat.
Compared to Ethan's wave of his hand and a meteor shower hit him, Siya can only shoot one meteor now, but it is always a good start, not to mention that the power of this move is there, and ordinary people can't handle a punch at all.
It can be said that if Miss Xiya attacks the criminals in Star City, if those who don’t know her, if she lets her punch, then when Xiya really swings her fist, the enemy will not even have the speed of the Meteor Fist. Ordinary people can’t react at all. Unless they predict the dodging action in advance, it depends on whether Xiya is reserved, otherwise it is impossible to avoid it.
Coupled with long-term combat practice, Xiya's sword skills have been greatly improved, and she also knows how to release those auxiliary spells at the right time. It can be said that Xiya's basic training has ended, and she will have to practice slowly by herself, while accumulating magic, and learn new things appropriately.
"So...I'm graduated?"
"Not counting."
Ethan looked at the excited face of the Ya in front of him, took a pendant similar to a dog tag and handed it over: "You will only graduate when you can truly master this piece of equipment."
Thea took the pendant handed over by Ethan. The pattern on the pendant with a rectangular dog-shaped pendant seemed to be a horse?
She remembered the warrior Ethan mentioned at the time who served the goddess Athena. That move was called "Tianma Meteor Fist", and there should be some connection here.
"What's this?"
"The warriors who serve Athena are called Saint Seiya. The standard equipment of these Saint Seiya is the Saint Clothes with magical power... Of course, the one you get is not the original version, but a copy I made casually."
Although it is a copy, the equipment made by a god cannot be regarded as ordinary equipment even if it is imitated. Although Xiya doesn't know what the so-called holy clothing looks like and what magical effect it has, she is still very happy to get such a "gift", which proves that she has performed well?
Thea left happily, while Oliver continued to exercise. What happened in Star City last year made him realize his lack of strength, especially when the reference object of the progress of Thea was a clear comparison.
He also wants to improve his strength so that he can better solve all kinds of troubles in Star City. However, as an ordinary person, he is a little confused about which direction he should work in now.
Strictly speaking, although Oliver's hands-on ability is not bad, it is incomparable to Batman, a guy who cheats. Apart from making some special arrows, most of the equipment is purchased for finished products, and it seriously lacks the ability to create independently.
He could ask Tony for help, but Tony's suggestions were all more "strong" offensive weapons. After that, Oliver would not look for Tony. If he followed Tony Stark's advice to strengthen himself, Oliver felt that he was not maintaining public order, but was here to destroy or occupy Star City.
Because Oliver repeatedly 'vetoed' Tony's suggestion, with Tony's temper, he was still talking to him now, which was already giving Oliver face: he was coming to see Green Arrow himself, and even if he was unhappy, he could only bear it.
Compared to chatting with Oliver, Tony is just here to enjoy life, so he is here to take a vacation, and practice magic in this world where no one disturbs him, and bring out some of the problems he encountered and discuss with Ethan.
Tony is indeed a genius, but it doesn't mean that genius will not encounter problems.
In the past, he would think about it slowly or conduct various experiments to get answers, but he wouldn't mind asking others for advice when necessary, not to mention that he was facing Ethan, who taught his own magic, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
"So, energy exists in any universe."
"Yes."
Energy exists in any universe because the existence of the universe itself requires energy.
It’s just that most of the energy is difficult to use by mages, or that those energy is incompatible with the “most common mages”, so it is not classified as a broad magic energy.
"But this does not mean that these energy cannot be used to use magic at all. As long as you understand the essence of energy more and more and your control over energy is strong enough, these energy can also be used to cast spells."
Just as Ethan understood back then: magicians are groups that use energy to achieve their goals.
"I feel more and more that the mage is actually pursuing the essence of this world."
Anyone or any object is 'using' energy. Isn't humans eating just to consume the energy that can be consumed by themselves?
"So the energy is everywhere..." Tony was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered a line: "The Force is everywhere..."
Ethan smiled and pointed at Tony, it seemed that he had thought of it too.
In Ethan's view, the so-called Force is also the energy that exists in the universe. The Jedi's practice is to feel, get close to and use various energy that exists in the universe.
Ethan felt that the Jedi's different understandings of the Force are correct: the energy contained in the universe has various characteristics. Although the Jedi are always exposed to the "same Force" when practicing, they will also contact the huge and complex Force that is closer to themselves according to their personal circumstances, so there are various explanations of the Force.
"So I'm actually a Jedi too?"
"This is not necessarily the case. I don't know what other special things about the Jedi warriors, after all, I have not really come into contact with this group."
Perhaps in the eyes of the Jedi, Tony, who can only use "part of the Special Forces", is just a heresy who goes astray? Maybe in their eyes, they are the same type of people as the Sith who falls into the dark side of the Force?
"But the way you teach Thea to use energy is the theory that the Jedi uses the Force?"
“Are referenced.”
Whether it is the Jedi or the Sith, their own strength is seriously controlled by the general environment. When the positive energy in the universe is more active, the Jedi who are more inclined toward the light will gain the upper hand. The Jedi can exert amazing combat power and do all kinds of magical things.
And when the dark side is more active, it is the world of the Sith.
Although practitioners using the Force will be strengthened by the Force and gain a very long lifespan, no one seems to be able to escape the suppression of the overall environment. Perhaps 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 overall 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. Now he is not worried that these energy will "pollute" his mental power and cause his personality to change.
If he was a Jedi, then he must belong to the Unified Force.
Thea is not good yet. 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 will at first.
"This kind of energy use technique called the small universe always feels a bit weird."
Tony said that Ethan taught Thea the technique that uses cosmic energy, or can also be directly called the Force. He found that although this method can perfectly convert the energy gathered outside into pure energy that is harmless to the user, he found that there seem to be two "backdoors" in this technique.
"Yes, one is the cloak and the other is God."
"ah?"
Ethan briefly explained, and Tony realized that when using this power called the small universe, if you have the holy garment, it would be equivalent to adding an external device that allows the user to gather more and more powerful energy and convert it into useful energy faster and better, and 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 god...
It has the same effect as the Sacred Clothes. When an extremely powerful existence stands behind the warrior and provides him with a larger, purer and easier to drive energy, the power that the warrior can burst out will be very, very terrifying, and can be perfectly integrated into his own small universe.
"Wait... doesn't this mean..."
"Yes, if this god is willing, he can lend his strength again and again, and affect the spirit and soul of the 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 mean to do this on purpose, but just tinkering with this power usage technique. After opening two back doors casually, he found that there would be such a "side effect".
The difference between the realm of 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 mental control can make the warriors closer to themselves or even become absolutely loyal subordinates through years of "intimate contact".
It is not difficult to understand. Even if you keep a pet, and have a long contact and food and drink, the pet will be extremely close to the owner, not to mention this kind of unprotected spiritual contact and obtain powerful power from the gods that can save their lives? Even if this god does nothing, the warrior will be closer to the gods he serves without consciously.
"But what Shia learned was a modified version, and there was no second backdoor."
After hearing Ethan's words, Tony suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
