A year is slow, but it's fast.

Ethan lives a very regular life, teaching Thea magic every day, occasionally sending clones to practice with Thea in actual combat, and complaining about some of Oliver's behaviors from time to time, as a result, he has been in this world for a year in a blink of an eye.

A lot has happened in the year – for Oliver.

For example, Oliver finds out the true identity of his biggest enemy, Black Arrow, or Dark Shooter, who is Malcolm Merlin, the father of his best brother Tommy Merlin.

And Black Arrow's plan turned out to be to destroy the slums of Star City.

In the end, Oliver reluctantly stopped Malcolm Merlin's plan, and the slums of Star City were not destroyed, but some damage was done, and most importantly, his good brother Tommy died in the disaster.

The biggest black hand, Malcolm Merlin, is also dead (Oliver thinks he's dead, but in fact, Malcolm Merlin, the Black Arrow, took the opportunity to get out and leave Star City), and it seems that the matter is finally over.

In addition, his mother and stepfather Walter are divorced, and his mother Moira is facing prison time for being involved in Malcolm Merlin's crazy plans, and Oliver finds that his life has become a mess, and many things should not have turned out this way.

"As I said, hiding secrets in the name of who is good will only have the opposite effect. ”

The way things turned out is largely due to Oliver's choice.

Of course, his mother, Moira, also hides a lot of things, and both mother and son think their choices will protect each other: it turns out that they are just pulling each other back.

If Oliver had made the situation clear and his plans had been revealed, and he had proven that he was capable of fighting Merlin, his mother might not have switched sides immediately, but she would definitely have gotten into a tangle, which would have given Oliver enough opportunities.

As Oliver's battle with Merlin enters a stalemate, Moira will surely fall to her son after discovering that Malcolm Merlin is not incapable of fighting.

At that time, the mother and son concentrated all their forces against Merlin, maybe Merlin didn't have a chance to launch his plan to destroy the slums of Star City, then many things would change.

For example, his good brother Tommy probably wouldn't have died, and Oliver wouldn't have to sit here with a sad face.

"Did you always carry the things I gave you?"

Oliver didn't know what Ethan meant by the sudden mention, but he pulled out a pendant anyway.

"You mean that?"

Ethan gave himself this thing casually a few months ago, and he didn't say much, only that this thing could help him at a critical moment and let him carry it with him.

Considering Ethan's identity, Oliver had been wearing the pendant with him, even if he hadn't figured out what it was for.

Ethan glanced at the pendant, took it and pinched it gently, and the pendant turned into powder and drifted away in the wind.

Oliver continued to look at Ethan curiously, not understanding what Ethan's behavior meant, but the next second something shocked him.

The specks of fluorescence emitted by the shattering of the pendant slowly condensed into a person's phantom, and as the dots of light kept gathering, the phantom became clearer and clearer, and Oliver recognized who it was.

"Tommy?"

He reached out to hug his best friend, but found that his hand couldn't touch him at all.

"It's ......"

"Tommy's soul, the pendant I gave you can protect you or the soul of someone you value. ”

Ethan looked at Tommy next to him, Tommy was in a state of confusion at this time, the soul of ordinary people was too fragile, if it wasn't for the special environment or the use of some special means to make Tommy's soul more solid, it wouldn't be long before his soul would dissipate, or be summoned to where he should have gone before that.

Oliver remembers Ethan's identity, which is a god anyway, and legend has it that gods resurrect the dead.

"Is it ......?"

Ethan didn't say anything, raised his hand slightly, and a gorgeous white gate that radiated a holy light suddenly appeared in the clearing next to him.

"Marven!"

Ethan's mouth whispered a name, the white door slowly opened, and a black man in a modest robe with a pair of white wings on his back walked out of the door, and then knelt down next to Ethan on one knee.

"At your disposal. ”

Ethan nodded and pointed to Tommy's soul next to him.

Marven glanced at it a little and immediately understood what Ethan meant.

He does not object to the 'extradition' of new souls into the kingdom of heaven, as for whether they are qualified? It is not his turn to worry about it, the whole heavenly world belongs to Ethan, and Ethan said that whoever is qualified to enter can enter.

He didn't wonder why the god he worshipped deliberately called himself out to bring this soul into the kingdom of heaven, because Ethan could have sent this fragile soul directly into it.

Since he was specifically summoned, it proves that it is necessary.

It's just a trip, he has enjoyed so many benefits, what's the point of coming out to pick up someone?

After death, he can still retain the memories of his life, gain a longer life, have magical powers, and even become a legendary angel himself, so many benefits have fallen on him, Marven knows what he should do.

Standing up, Marven led Tommy's soul into the gate, and the white, holy door closed again, and slowly disappeared as if it had never existed.

Oliver saw the whole process and didn't breathe a sigh of relief until everything around him was back to normal.

"I thought...... Are you a Greek deity?"

Ethan shook his head.

"The power I have at my disposal is very chaotic and does not fit into any system of myths and legends on Earth. ”

"That was ...... just now"

"A trumpet kingdom where Tommy can live longer......" Ethan glanced at Oliver and added, "If he wants to, he can become like Marvin." ”

Oliver doesn't know Marven, but Marven's appearance looks like the legendary angel, doesn't that mean Tommy could become an angel as well?

Compared to not knowing where it will go, or even whether it will completely dissipate and never exist again, such a result is too perfect.

The only problem is that it's hard to see in the future.

"If he works a little bit harder and makes his new form more solid, it's not hard to get out and move around a lot.

Oliver nodded, it was much better than he expected, he thanked Ethan again, and finally asked if Ethan had anything he wanted to do?

He's not stupid, although Ethan has been very quiet and plain this year, as if he really came to hang out and have fun, but Oliver can feel that Ethan actually has his own purpose, and he has never done anything more like waiting.

Maybe it's waiting for the right moment, maybe it's because what he wants hasn't come out yet.

"You don't have to dwell too much on this, I do have my own purpose, but for now I can only wait. ”

It's not that Ethan didn't think about contacting the speed force in advance, but unfortunately he didn't have a clue after trying a few times.

He had even been to Midtown quietly, secretly observing the Reverse Lightning disguised as Harrison Wells, hoping to find traces of the Speed Force from the Reverse Lightning.

However, he found that the speed power in Reverse Lightning's body was thin and equivalent to nothing, and it seemed that as time went by, Reverse Lightning's situation was getting worse and worse, and Reverse Lightning was estimated to be even more anxious than himself at this time, and he wanted to make the particle accelerator explode immediately, and then give birth to Flash.

After all, the power of reverse lightning comes from the Flash, which is different from the fact that the Flash is directly associated with the speed force.

Without the Flash, it's like missing a device connected to the speed force, and Ethan has no way to 'find' the trace of the speed force through reverse lightning.

So he gave up the idea of contacting the speed force in advance, returned to Star City and quietly waited for the birth of the Flash, at most, let Ada as his agent, buy a part of the shares of the cutting-edge laboratory, and become one of the investors and shareholders of this laboratory.

After chatting casually with Oliver for a few more words, Ethan suddenly paused, then stood up and beckoned to Oliver: "Thea's training today is coming to an end, let's go over." ”

He and Oliver were chatting in the garden, and Thea was still training hard in the basement.

One year is enough time to make the delicate eldest lady change dramatically, not to mention that Ethan has also carried out various targeted training, and now Thea shows the appearance, everyone thinks that this is a tough warrior.

When Ethan and Oliver arrived at the training ground, Digger, Felicity, and even Tony gathered around to watch the battle between Thea and Ethan's energy clone in the field.

At this time, the battle had entered a critical moment, and the blue-white energy light pillars held by the two people kept colliding.

At the critical point of the battle, Thea, who had been holding the sword in both hands, suddenly let go of one hand, and then swung her fist when the sword led away Ethan's clone's weapon with a sword, and when there was still a certain distance.

The blue-white meteor flashed and disappeared, and the brilliant light that erupted made it impossible for everyone present to ignore it, not to mention that with that fleeting brilliance, Ethan's clone was also blasted away, and the body formed by the energy became even more fragmented.

The sudden burst of powerful attacks caused 'fatal' damage to Ethan's clone, which meant that after a year of training, Thea finally won the battle training.
