Although it was a bit rushed, Ethan couldn't just stand here dry 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 do it, then it's not like I'm going to abandon you on purpose.

It was a test for Ethan, but not so much that it really stumped him.

Ethan stretched out his hands, his left hand was held in front of him, and his right hand outlined several mysterious symbols in a row, with the movement of his right hand, one mysterious rune after another and the magic array gradually took shape, and then a cluster of blue light gradually surrounded and gathered in 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 array suspended beside him suddenly turned green.

"Oh, it's ......."

Gu Yi on the side recognized the nature of this energy, originally she had been watching Ethan's performance very calmly, but this time her expression finally changed.

The green energy slowly shrouded the shell glowing with blue light, and slowly spread a layer on the shell, the two energies were entangled with each other but distinctly layered, bursts of brilliance fluttered gently, and as Ethan's movements became slower and slower, and finally seemed to be fixed, and all kinds of strange scenes were gone.

Ethan let out a slight sigh, and his movements were much more relaxed than before. Before, his expression and posture were obviously casting spells with all his might, but now he returned to normal, one hand back in his trouser pocket, and a few random swings of the other hand was already the biggest movement, sometimes not even moving, at most gently lifting his chin.

Another layer of blue energy was wrapped around the green energy, this layer was much thicker, completely obscuring the golden light emitted by the soul core.

The outermost part was covered with layers of ice crystals, and as the ice crystals gradually thickened, the soul core, which was originally no more than the size of a football, had been wrapped in layers of thick ice coffins 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 and became suspended horizontally in the air at a height of one meter.

"That should do. ”

After Ethan completed all the movements, he looked back and forth again, and nodded with satisfaction after making sure that nothing was missing.

The two people present were both top-level spellcasters, and they could naturally see what Ethan had done in a series of actions just now, and Frigga was also amazed by Ethan's current strength.

"There's really nothing wrong with that. ”

Friggya's hand gently brushed on the ice coffin, Ethan's spell control is very strong, this ice coffin is only a little cold to the touch, but this does not mean that this ice coffin is as fragile and harmless as it looks, it will be like this because all the energy is well concentrated and restrained, and there is no leakage.

She can be sure that there are few people in the entire 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 is enough to change the environment of Asgard.

"Straight back to Asgard?"

"I'm going to trouble you. ”

Ethan raised his hand slightly, and a blue light door appeared in front of Frigga that could clearly see the situation on the other side, which was Asgard she was very familiar with.

"I wanted to entertain you well, but it seems that the Ancient One Master has something, so I have to wait for the next time you come over. ”

Frigga raised her hand slightly, and the ice coffin, which was already suspended in mid-air, adjusted its direction slightly, and slowly passed through the portal with Friggia's movements.

Later, Frigga and Ethan and the Ancient One parted ways, and also walked through the portal.

After the two of them crossed the portal, the blue light door closed automatically, but the remaining magical energy did not dissipate, but instead gathered again and flew back to Ethan's side, and then disappeared into Ethan's body again.

Waiting until these were over, the ancient one spoke.

"You've grown faster than I ever imagined. ”

"After all, I have advantages that others don't have. ”

Being able to walk freely in multiple cosmic planes is too great, Ethan has almost never encountered a bottleneck along the way, and his strength has been steadily improving.

"You have some special strengths, but you can't get to this point if you don't work hard. ”

Gu paused for a moment, and mentioned the power Ethan had just used.

"And he controls time on his own...... It's not something that can be done with hard work and a bit of luck alone. ”

Ethan smiled, and although he wanted to admit that he was a genius, he was actually cheating by using the power of time.

"It's not really about controlling time. ”

"Time...... It's not a power that can be grasped casually. ”

On some levels, time doesn't even exist, and such a difficult ability to define can even be regarded as non-existent, far more difficult to grasp than some intuitive power.

For example, the Eye of Agamotto, which is inlaid with the Time Gem, does not require the mages to comprehend the power of time by themselves, but only learns how to use the gem, and then can manipulate time, which is not something that any mage can do: the future Doctor Strange, Stephen Strange, will be shocked when he uses the Time Gem to restore the two torn pages of the magic book.

"Even if it's just 'borrowing', it's a great achievement. ”

The time power used by Ethan is indeed only borrowed, he specially borrowed the eye of Agomoto to study for a period of time, and with his own space-time pointer, he has more or less gained a little.

Later, after so many years of cultivation and comprehension, plus I stepped into a new realm, I had 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 person who owns the Time Stone can 'borrow' the 'time power' of this universe.

In Ethan's case, there is a secondary switch that can borrow a small amount of the power of time.

He can only use a little time power in this universe, and he can't leave the Marvel Universe.

However, he gradually figured out the power of time, so he wanted to get a time turner and study it.

As the two of them spoke, they had already left the coast where they had been and came to Kama Taj.

It's not the first time Ethan has been here, but his current appearance makes it impossible for the mages of Kama Taj to recognize his identity at all, and most of them are just curious about the ancient one's sudden return with a child.

Most people thought that the child had been picked up or rescued by the Ancient One, and wanted to stay with Kama Taj to raise and teach.

It wasn't until Ethan greeted Mordo that Mordo reflected Ethan's identity.

"You're ......"

Ethan had been here a few times, and had met Mordo a few times, and Mordo didn't know much about this mage who wasn't Kama Taj, but he didn't know him at all if he saw more.

But Ethan's current situation is too different from before, right?

Also curious was the king who was helping to pour the tea, at this time the king was not stationed in other temples or in charge of guarding the library, he spent most of his time in meditation in the Kama Maj, occasionally doing chores.

"Don't worry, it's a good thing, it's just that you need to grow it all over again. ”

Hearing Ethan say this, Mo Du and Wang did not continue to ask, and the two of them left one after another. Compared to Mordo's direct departure, the king stayed outside the door, not letting others disturb Ethan's conversation with the ancient one.

"It's almost time, isn't it?"

Gu Yi took a sip of tea, she knew what Ethan meant by this, and nodded lightly after putting the teacup down.

"What should have happened should have happened. ”

Ethan tapped the table slightly, and an image appeared in front of him, showing a doctor with a long face working in a hospital.

"Need my help?"

"When everything is ready, let the rest take its course. ”

For example, Ethan's retreat for the Ancient One, including the preservation of his soul and the reshaping of his body, these things have been prepared for a long time, and then let things happen normally, the Ancient One died in the battle against the 'evil forces', and took the position of Supreme Mage and handed it over to Stephen Strange, who finally accepted his guidance.

"It's going to happen, but it doesn't mean I'm going to die right away. ”

Doctor Strange went from being injured to undergoing multiple surgeries, and finally almost spent all his savings on a journey to find mysterious powers, then found Kama Taj and trained under the Ancient One, and then grew from a layman who didn't know anything to a brilliant mage.

In other words, Doctor Strange's plot span is very long, at least more than a year or even close to two years, so it's not a hurry.

Gu Yi suddenly found Ethan, wanting to ask Ethan if he was interested in helping to guide his heir.

"Huh?"

"I think the situation he's going to face in the future is much more complicated than what I've faced for so many years, and maybe you can teach him something special so that he can better protect the world. ”

Ethan scratched his face, teaching Doctor Strange was not a very difficult request, but he wasn't sure when he would come.

"I came here this time, in fact, to inform you that I have connected the universe I live in with this world, and it may be more convenient for you to find me in the future. ”

explained the situation to Gu Yi in detail, and also told Gu Yi how to go to his side.

With the strength of the Ancient One, she could directly locate the passage left by Ethan through spells, and then go to that universe on her own, without having to build a teleportation array.

"It's very convenient, maybe I'll bother you a lot in the future. ”
