"Let me see the mother box?"

Hippolyta's proposal was so sudden that Ethan suspected that it was a fake Hippolyta.

There should be an element of this, but Hippolyta's posture is not like a casual remark, relying on this to coax him to show his flaws. That's really wanting to let myself go and see the mother box...... It doesn't seem necessary to take out the mother box for simple temptation, right?

However, he would not miss such an opportunity, even if he might be regarded as Darkseid's subordinate, Ethan still nodded and agreed. Carefully examining Hippolyta, the Amazon queen did not show anything unusual because he had agreed to see the mother box.

"Also, this kind of thing, the mother box, anyone who knows a little bit of its value will want to see it, and it is normal that she just wants to see it, and she will not conclude that I am Darkseid's subordinate. ”

The mother box is stored in a cave on Paradise Island, which is not only equipped with layers of mechanisms, but also very well guarded. Outside the cave is an open plain, and there is little chance of sneaking up on it without being detected.

If Ethan didn't have Hippolyta with him, if Ethan wanted to break in and take the mother box, it would be difficult for him to get out of it with his current strength.

Looking left and right, Hippolyta brought an elite Amazon warrior this time, and surrounded him and Arthur layer by layer. Each of the Amazon warriors was armed to the teeth, and all eyes were focused on the two of them.

"Well, I should be glad that Hippolyta allowed me to come with a weapon, otherwise I would have turned my face because of something, and I was afraid that I would have suffered a great loss in my haste. ”

Now Ethan, most of his strength is on the equipment on his body, and if he removes the equipment, his combat power will be reduced by a lot.

In particular, the Book of Inheritance, which has been inserted in the book cover of his waist, is his most important magic book, and it is also his most powerful defensive magic equipment at present.

"It's here. ”

The team moved quickly, and it didn't take long for Ethan to reach the cave where the mother box was kept.

Once inside, there were fewer warriors with her, leaving only a few to guard Hippolyta, and Her Majesty herself holding on to the hilt of her sword, and she would immediately go into battle if the situation changed.

Ethan didn't make any excessive moves next, just circled around the stone platform where the mother box was placed, and then kept a certain distance from the mother box to observe.

"This is the mother box?"

Seeing Ethan's appearance, Hippolyta breathed a sigh of relief, at least now things are not going in the worst direction.

"Yes, this is the mother box, does it help you with that teleportation magic?"

Ethan frowned and felt it carefully.

He didn't feel anything at all now, it was like an ordinary box, and it was no different from the stone platform in his current sense.

However, he knew very sure that this thing was very unusual, a special product made by a higher level of existence with technology that even God could not understand.

"Maybe I'll try it. ”

Hippolyta was silent for a moment, then finally gritted her teeth and nodded, but her posture went from a slight relaxation to a preoccupied posture of preparation.

Arthur, who was on the side, watched the changes in Hippolyta the whole time, and he didn't know much about the caution of the Amazon queen, but he knew that he had to be ready for battle - who knew if this woman would suddenly turn her face.

However, he couldn't make an overly vigilant gesture, which would probably provoke Hippolyta and make her think that the two of them had bad intentions—so Arthur was the most uncomfortable in the room.

Ethan's current state is the most relaxed, and his mental activities are the simplest. Concentrate on the study of this magical mother box.

As for Hippolyta's reaction, I can't care about it for the time being.

He didn't worry about the mother box before, because he knew that it was useless to worry about it. Now that the mother box is placed in front of him, does he still hesitate and miss such a good opportunity?

"Although I don't know how capable this thing is, since it has the function of opening the transmission channel, it has a certain relationship with time and space. Plus the almost infinite amount of energy ......"

Ethan cautiously approached the mother box, and then deliberately touched it with his left hand.

The shuttle magic array that came from nowhere existed on his left hand, and he wanted to try to use the magic array to touch the mother box, would it have any strange resonance?

In fact, there have been some reactions.

Ethan's left hand had already touched the surface of the mother box, and the touch was no different from that of a stone, and on the surface, nothing strange had happened.

Hippolyta thought something was going to happen, but Ethan just stood on the edge of the stone platform, his left hand on the mother box motionless, as if he had done nothing?

No, if he hadn't done anything, he should have stepped back now.

Hippolyta's pupils narrowed, and she looked carefully at Ethan, who was standing on the stone platform, only to notice that the young magician had closed his eyes tightly and his brow furrowed.

In fact, Ethan just wanted to concentrate, he could vaguely feel the space-time energy he needed from the mother box, but this feeling came and went intermittently, making it difficult for him to accurately capture it, so he had to concentrate on mobilizing all his mental power, and naturally he didn't have time to care about things outside.

Hippolyta was so nervous by his movements that her hand holding the hilt of her sword was already covered with sweat, and even a stone falling to the ground would spur her to draw her sword from its sheath.

It took a while that nothing unusual happened, and she relaxed a little. It wasn't until Ethan opened her eyes and took a few steps back to distance herself from the mother box that she really let out a sigh of relief.

"It does help my magic. ”

Ethan was surprised to find that just by touching the mother box, his control of space-time energy had improved a lot.

Now he can feel the condition of the space-time energy in his body more clearly, and at the same time, he also finds that the consumption of space-time energy has become a little lower.

During this time, he was not lazy on Paradise Island, and he was very diligent in exercising his mastery of space-time energy, which has reduced the consumption of space-time energy a lot.

If there are no surprises, his stay on Paradise Island will increase by a large margin. Originally, he could only stay for a month before he was sent back to the Sea of Calm by the remaining space-time energy, but now he would have to wait at least twenty more days before he touched the minimum warning line of space-time energy.

But after only touching the mother box for a short time, he found that his stay time had increased by about ten days, which meant that he could stay in this world for a total of two months.

"Amazing stuff. ”

Ethan vaguely felt that his space-time pointer seemed to have a new change, but at this time, there were outsiders present, and it was inconvenient for him to check here.

Hippolyta didn't know what changes he had undergone, but she was relieved to see Ethan retreat without hesitation.

The hand that had been holding the hilt of the sword loosened, and the tense nerves relaxed—while it was not yet possible to rule out the suspicion that Ethan was one of Darkseid's men, it was certain that he would not do it at the moment.

"So, Your Majesty, I am afraid that you suddenly took me to see the Mother Box, I am afraid that you are not kind enough to help me improve my magic level, do you? ”

Of course, there is something to be reciprocated for taking benefits, Ethan has never been a person who takes advantage of him, he knows that Hippolyta suddenly brought himself to see the mother box, there must be something to help him. He guessed that this incident was still related to Diana.

Sure enough, Hippolyta wanted him to improve his magical abilities through the mother box, or simply to find out how to locate the mother box, so that Ethan could travel freely to this world in the future.

"Still worried about Ares?"

Ethan didn't look down on Ares, but this guy couldn't even beat Diana, a rookie who had just left the island and didn't know anything, and there was really no way for him to treat him as a strong enemy.

Even if he knew that Ares was in the water, it would be an easy thing to kill him now.

"No, I'm worried about Darkseid. ”

Hippolyta gave another answer, which made Ethan stunned for a moment. Suddenly, it must have been her own appearance, reminding the Amazon queen that there are far more terrifying and deadly beings in this universe than Ares. That being, too, is eyeing the Earth.

Before, it was countless years of comfortable life, which made her subconsciously ignore this enemy who was far more powerful than Ares, but now that she thought about it, she reacted - even if Diana can successfully eliminate Ares, it does not mean that she will be able to live a peaceful life in the future.

"Ares is nothing compared to that. ”

Compared to Darkseid, Ares is really nothing more than a novice village mob, and Ethan understands why Hippolyta suddenly made up her mind and even took a huge risk to get herself into contact with the mother box.

"I still want to find a way out for Diana. ”

Hippolyta was silent, and instead she asked another question.

"If you could move freely into the world and take Diana away when you were in danger...... I wonder, can you send her to a world where Darkseid won't be found?"

Ethan thought about it, Darkseid has the ability to span multiple planes, but those are parallel worlds or multiverses under the DC Universe, and he doesn't know if Darkseid can jump out of this framework.

Maybe? Maybe?

I'm sorry that Ethan wasn't very familiar with DC Comics in his previous life, and he couldn't give a definitive answer, but he didn't care about that.

"Even if you can travel through the planes, what if you can find a person in the almost endless cosmic planes, it is not easy to find a person. ”
