Chapter 50: The Coronation Ceremony
🕑 Added 2025-03-12 17:20:04 +0000 UTCLearning enchantment magic is no easier than any other form of magic.
This discipline requires deep knowledge.
Asgard can survive without a combat magician, but it cannot function without an enchanting magician.
The weapons wielded by every warrior and the equipment they wear are all enchanted by magicians.
The defense against energy-based weapons is nearly perfect.
Neither human bullets nor the dark elves’ energy guns pose a significant threat to ordinary soldiers standing guard.
You see, the weapons of the dark elves can easily crush thick stone pillars that two people can barely hug!
This highlights the power of enchantment defense.
That thin layer of energy protection allows them to move forward steadily, much like tanks, even under heavy fire from other races.
Moreover, their equipment is made of Uru metal, which provides strong physical defense and excellent magical conductivity, allowing them to withstand most conventional weapons in the universe.
Weapons capable of breaking their defenses can only be called artifacts!
While Uru metal helps them ignore the blades of other races, enchantment gives them the confidence to dismiss the energy weapons of other civilizations.
After delving into enchanting magic, Aaron realized that learning this magic would take longer than learning other types.
It even involved the technology of Asgard.
It’s worth mentioning that Asgard's enchantment and technology complement each other.
Their relationship is one where they are intertwined and mutually dependent.
With this in mind, Aaron decided to focus on one particular area.
The enchantment in this section is unlike other parts and is quite special.
The difficulty level is also considerably higher.
But for Aaron, it was quite suitable.
This section of enchanting knowledge deals with how to impart the magic you have learned to an object in a special form, thereby giving it the same magical characteristics.
For instance, if you enchant a weapon on Earth and endow it with space storage magic, you can increase its ammunition capacity. This would transform a rifle with a 30-round magazine into a machine gun capable of holding hundreds of rounds without changing its performance or appearance.
Or you could add invisibility magic to a cloak, granting it invisibility properties and turning it into a genuine invisibility cloak.
But there’s a problem: because of the differences in magic, the results of the enchantment may vary.
Many magicians don't have the time or magical power to learn various methods of enchanting. As a result, they tend to focus only on the magic they are most skilled at.
But this isn’t a problem for Aaron.
As long as he studies diligently and practices consistently, he can continually improve his enchanting abilities and, eventually, perfectly replicate his own magic on other objects, creating artifacts in bulk.
As for mana consumption, this is no issue for him.
With Energy Absorption at his disposal, he can simply continue drawing energy when he runs low.
Aaron then fully immersed himself in the study of enchanting magic.
As a future god of magic, he must master enchantment magic—anything less would be unreasonable.
Time passed steadily as he learned.
During this period, Asgard was not at peace.
The recent rebellion in Vanaheim wasn’t a random occurrence, nor was it the only such disturbance.
Though the Nine Realms had enjoyed relative peace over the past thousand years, this peace was still a relative concept.
The kingdoms within the Nine Realms had grown more warlike and ambitious than ever before.
The dark elves, who sought to plunge the universe into endless darkness once again, the Frost Titans, who aimed to usher in a new ice age on Earth, and the Flame Titans, who started Ragnarok.
In comparison, the current rebellion in Vanaheim was little more than a minor nuisance, exaggerated and overblown.
Vanaheim lacked a unified kingdom of gods, and its forces were scattered. This is also why they were frequently stirring up rebellions in an attempt to become the new Lords of Vanaheim.
Odin would never allow Vanaheim to rally and challenge Asgard’s rule. Nor did he want anyone to reignite the War of the Nine Realms.
As a result, Vanaheim had become a training ground for Thor.
At the same time, in order to prevent Aaron from stealing the spotlight again, Odin deliberately ignored Aaron, suggesting that Frigga hold him back and let Thor lead his allies to suppress the unrest.
One such disturbance took place in the realm of the Flame Titans.
However, this time, they didn’t face King Surtur.
Strictly speaking, the rebellion of the Flame Titans this time was also a test under Surtur’s guidance.
It was a trial to see if Asgard could respond as swiftly as it had before.
Thor did not disappoint Odin.
He returned victorious to Asgard.
Thor’s name echoed throughout Asgard.
Although Aaron wasn’t in Asgard during this time, Odin’s schemes were clear enough to reach him in Jotunheim, far away.
Steal the spotlight?
That was not a concern!
He didn’t have the energy to steal the spotlight at the moment.
Why not focus on learning magic?
Isn’t the power boost enough of a temptation?
Why go and play petty games, bullying some minor troublemakers?
Aaron was eager to continue his studies, but recent news made it necessary for him to stop and return to Asgard.
Odin had ordered a coronation ceremony.
Thor was about to become the new king!
