Chapter 48: Teleportation Across Galaxies!
🕑 Added 2025-03-12 17:25:56 +0000 UTCThe plan to find the Fountain of Wisdom was absolutely correct.
With the support of a massive energy source, the progress of learning magic was completely different from before.
Teleportation magic is a high-level magic that consumes a lot of mana. Even the old Loki, who has lived for an unknown amount of time, cannot sustain it for long.
It is a bottomless pit with endless depth, and the consumption doubles as the teleportation distance and maintenance time increase.
If, before, Aaron wanted to improve teleportation magic, he would have to alternate between meditation and teleportation. Energy Absorption would take more time than practicing teleportation magic itself.
Now, things are different. Here, Aaron can activate Energy Absorption, and the energy near the Fountain of Wisdom seems almost infinite!
Every time he absorbs energy, it’s enough to practice teleportation magic for a long time.
In less than a day, teleportation magic had been upgraded to LV5!
At this point, Aaron had a better understanding of why Kamar-Taj is so keen on borrowed magic.
Asgard learns magic step by step, often taking hundreds of years to develop.
However, the magicians of Kamar-Taj only need ten years or even a few years to cultivate a powerful mage.
It is even easier to use long-distance teleportation, and there is no magic power consumption at all.
After all, the magic they use is borrowed from the dimension of Mephista, not their own, so using it doesn’t take a toll on them.
At this point, Asgard's magic system is far behind.
The requirements for blood are higher.
Perhaps only Odin with the power of Odin, and Thor with the power of Thor, can do what Kamar-Taj does.
Others are more like Heimdall, who can use one or two dark energy transmissions before needing to stop.
So much so that Kong has powerful magic but dares not use it freely.
Even the established magicians' usual tasks are enchantments, not combat.
No wonder the status of magicians has been underappreciated for so long.
Thinking of this, Aaron felt that Irene’s dream might never come true.
If the status of magicians is to be improved, what is needed is not just one or two magician heroes, but reforms in magic Energy Absorption.
A more efficient energy growth method is needed to allow magicians to move from behind the scenes to the forefront.
Aaron's method of improving magic is limited to himself and cannot be popularized for the public.
Even if his magical strength surpassed Thor and Odin, became the new God of Magic, and became the most powerful magician, the magicians of Asgard could not fundamentally improve their status.
They would still only be reduced to vassals of the soldiers.
Aaron shook his head. He couldn’t think of a solution for this at the moment.
Moreover, he was not interested in solving it for now.
His most important goal is to become stronger.
Other matters are things he only occasionally thinks about in his spare time.
Returning to his thoughts,
Aaron looked at the upgraded teleportation magic—space teleportation (LV5)!
In fact, during this wave of promotion and teleportation magic, he hadn’t truly experienced using the portal yet.
Using the portal doesn’t mean passing through the gate to gain proficiency. It only requires completely building the “gate.”
According to Frigga’s explanation of portal magic, the simplest portal can only transmit the location within sight.
This is not because only such a short distance can be teleported, but because the mana consumption within this distance is controllable.
Once beyond the line of sight, there may be a situation where the magic power is insufficient.
Additionally, there is a more important point.
Once beyond the line of sight, the constructed portal is likely to be unstable or even impossible to construct successfully.
If the portal is unstable, space turbulence may occur, and if you’re not careful, you could be torn apart by the space.
The reason for unsuccessful construction could be positional deviation, or other substances at the teleportation location could prevent the portal from forming.
It could also be because the distance is too far, and the pure magic power is insufficient.
When teleportation magic reaches a certain level, it can teleport freely within the entire Asgard domain.
However, achieving this level of teleportation magic is quite difficult.
According to Frigga, even she couldn’t do it.
It’s not due to insufficient magical attainments, but simply because of insufficient magical reserves.
Since Frigga became queen, she has fallen behind in magic cultivation, and her magical power is now weaker than Loki’s.
As for Loki, maybe he can’t even perform teleportation magic.
Maybe, but Aaron had never seen him use it.
Therefore, in Asgard, Odin has the highest attainment in teleportation magic.
According to Frigga, Odin has developed a more powerful teleportation magic and now possesses the ability to teleport across galaxies!
Aaron is still skeptical about this.
Because this teleportation ability can be granted.
Odin once bestowed this ability on Heimdall, giving him the power to control the transmission of dark energy.
According to this, the transmission of dark energy might be the result of strengthening with Odin’s power.
And it also has the ability to bless others.
But these are just guesses.
Rather than speculate on the source of Odin’s inter-galaxy teleportation, Aaron would prefer to test the limits of space teleportation himself.
The first experiment, of course, did not directly teleport across galaxies.
The location Aaron chose was the secret passage point.
With a wave of his hand, he used the teleportation magic he had practiced hundreds of times.
Perhaps because the energy absorbed comes from the Fountain of Wisdom, the color of Aaron’s magic is different from Amora’s—it is golden.
This is similar to Odin and Heimdall’s magic.
The golden energy constructs a circular channel.
As for the other end of the portal, it was the place where he had arrived in Jotunheim from his memory.
Once the instant construction was successful, Aaron stepped through it.
In the next second, he arrived at the entrance of the secret passage!
“Good job!”
Feeling the consumption of magic power in his body, almost a tenth of it was used up!
“Can you only use it ten times...?”
“I don’t know if inter-galaxy teleportation will be possible when I’m at full power.”
After doing what he wanted, Aaron first returned to the Fountain of Wisdom to recover his magic power, and then imagined the settlement of Asgard in his mind.
The magic power in his body surged out crazily along his hand.
In an instant, a golden portal appeared in front of him!
“Successful!”
“But… it’s still too much!”
“Once I use this spell, I lose nine-tenths of my energy, and my strength is greatly reduced.”
“Until the problem of mana reserves is completely resolved, it’s best not to use this trick unless absolutely necessary.”
“Otherwise, I won’t be able to come back in a short time after teleportation.”
Aaron was pleased, but also had a major headache.
He had managed to teleport across galaxies, like Heimdall, and could even teleport others. However, the magic power consumption was too great!
If someone attacked him at that moment, he would likely be in danger because of his lack of magic.
After some experimentation, Aaron dismissed the portal immediately.
Going back to Asgard now would take a long time to recover, so teleporting back would be completely unnecessary.
Next, it’s better to further improve his magic.
While transforming Energy Absorption into his own magic power, Aaron began to devise an improvement plan.
Inter-galaxy teleportation is enough for now.
There’s no need to improve it further at the moment.
He might as well practice energy shields.
Increasing his life-saving ability is more urgent.
Soon, his magic power was restored.
Aaron started a new round of magic upgrades.
At the same time, in Asgard:
During the few days Aaron had been away, no one had been able to see through his true intentions.
In the past few days, Frigga had approached Aaron twice.
But both times, she used the excuse of learning magic, and the teaching progress had temporarily been postponed.
Frigga never suspected anything.
It was true that Aaron’s magical ability was extremely strong, but learning magic isn’t that simple.
No matter how intelligent a person is, they need time to study.
As for Loki, he passed by Aaron’s place many times.
Until now, he had not noticed the flaw in that invisibility magic contest.
He thought he was still better than Aaron in invisibility magic.
That’s why he passed by Aaron’s residence for the first time and checked whether Aaron was going out every day to continue their “teaching.”
To be honest, the experience of teaching magic and monsters had been so wonderful.
Loki really wanted to do it again.
However, his dream didn’t last long.
To avoid Loki’s interference, Aaron directly controlled his duplication and taught Loki a lesson using invisibility magic.
After that, Loki never came around again.
That’s how the situation cleared up.
In addition to Loki, several people from Thor’s circle also went out drinking with Aaron.
Although some time had passed, the enthusiasm for Aaron had not diminished.
In particular, Aaron hardly appeared in public after the battle, which added a bit of mystery to his identity as a magical monster.
The image of a hardworking magician came to mind.
Enthusiastic people, after asking Thor several times, finally couldn’t dodge it anymore and had to drag Aaron to a few receptions.
Fortunately, only part of his mind could be used to control the materialized duplication, completing most of the scenes without revealing the truth as he did last time. Otherwise, they would have had to come up with other excuses to avoid Thor and the others' verbal criticism.
Throughout Asgard, only Amora had a faint awareness of Aaron’s problem.
She is a teacher at the Academy of Magic, and she also knows that Aaron has evaded Frigga’s teaching arrangements several times.
Just imagine a monster so interested in magic—how could he give up learning new magic?
The only possibility is that there is another, more important matter distracting Aaron’s attention.
Combining this with her previous experiences, Amora boldly guessed that the real Aaron might have entered Jotunheim through some unknown means and embarked on the path to find the Fountain of Wisdom.
The idea was terrifying.
It’s frightening to think about.
The titans of Jotunheim are incredibly strong!
Even in Odin’s presence, it would be impossible to defeat the Frost Titans in such numbers.
Moreover, she has also followed Bifrost's path.
If Aaron really did come from the Fountain of Wisdom, perhaps... he is much stronger than she imagines!
