Chapter 47: Huge Source of Magic Power, Idea of the Source of Magic
🕑 Added 2025-03-12 17:14:16 +0000 UTCThe Fountain of Wisdom, also known as the Fountain of Mimir, is located in Jotunheim, connected to the World Tree.
It is said that all you need to do is drink from the spring to gain wisdom.
According to the myths and legends from before the time travel, Odin came to the spring to gain wisdom, exchanged his right eye, and obtained all the knowledge in the world after drinking the spring water.
At that point, Odin lost his eye forever.
Now, however, this is the Marvel Universe.
Although it is not yet certain whether this universe is the same as the movie universe, Aaron knows from memory that the eye Odin loses here was not sacrificed to gain wisdom, but was injured by Lauf.
In other words, Odin's wisdom has nothing to do with the Fountain of Wisdom. His ability to predict Ragnarök comes from his own power.
Amora also learned from fragmentary information that the Fountain of Wisdom has some unknown special powers, but no one knows exactly what they are.
After all, the relationship between Asgard and Jotunheim doesn’t allow anyone to discover the secrets of the Fountain of Wisdom.
Aaron had also thought about obtaining infinite wisdom from the Fountain of Wisdom. Perhaps the intelligence attribute could directly reach the top.
This would maximize the potential of materialized magic.
He is lacking in intelligence, but the current priority attribute is energy intensity, and intelligence can only be temporarily set aside.
With his current intelligence, he couldn’t even display the maximum level of materialized magic at LV5.
Not to mention the LV6 and LV7 levels.
However, gaining wisdom from the Fountain of Wisdom was just an idea.
For him, the Fountain of Wisdom is too strange and too mysterious. Before acquiring enough knowledge and strength, it would be foolish to recklessly seek power far beyond his current abilities.
Also, from what Aaron knows, obtaining wisdom from the Fountain of Wisdom definitely comes with a price.
Whether it’s Odin in mythology or Thor in the comics, they both gouged out their eyes as a sacrifice.
Odin only lost one eye, but Thor lost both.
Aaron’s strength is far less than theirs. Perhaps the Fountain of Wisdom wouldn’t even want his eyes.
Therefore, the most practical approach is to improve his own strength.
Once his strength increases, he can have everything.
At present, the most useful application of the mysterious Fountain of Wisdom for Aaron is magic.
Before crossing over, there was a saying that the magical energy of Asgard and even the Nine Realms comes from the World Tree, with the Fountain of Wisdom acting as one of the bridges.
The relationship between Asgard and the World Tree is similar to that of Kamar-Taj and the Mephista dimension.
The former needs to obtain energy from the latter.
While Asgard gains energy, it must also pay a corresponding price.
Aaron didn’t know the exact cost, but maybe Ragnarök was part of it.
This is a cycle.
The Aesir will endlessly repeat the cycle of Ragnarök and rebirth.
If that’s the case, then the gods, as strong as the Aesir, are just puppets being manipulated.
However, Aaron didn’t dwell on this matter. His future is destined to transcend the Nine Realms and the World Tree.
Even if Ragnarök happens, it won’t affect him.
When the gods fall, he will remain safe and sound!
"The magic surrounding the Fountain of Wisdom is much stronger than that of Asgard."
"I can continuously absorb magic power from the Fountain of Wisdom. As long as I stay here, I won’t be troubled by a lack of magic power anymore."
"However, this is only a temporary solution. We must find a portable energy source to replace the Fountain of Wisdom."
"Only in this way can we ensure that, no matter where we are, we can continuously improve our strength and maintain peak combat effectiveness!"
Aaron’s mind was racing. The Energy Absorption at LV6 is fully capable of absorbing unowned energy from the air to replenish the mana he consumes.
Near the Fountain of Wisdom, his strength will experience rapid growth.
But Aaron wasn’t satisfied with that.
The Fountain of Wisdom cannot be carried with him, and it is destined to be only a temporary solution.
Follow-up plans will continue.
The next primary goal is the Casket of Ancient Winters!
Energy Absorption is currently unable to absorb primary energy.
The Eternal Fire is nearly infinite in power, but its master, Surtur, is still alive.
Aaron isn’t sure if he can absorb the power of the Eternal Fire once he gets it.
The Casket of Ancient Winters is different.
The Casket of Ancient Winters has lost its true owner. Lauf and Loki are controlling it by virtue of their racial identities and cannot fully exert its power.
Given this, Aaron is confident he can safely absorb its energy.
Most importantly, Lauf is clearly a weakling.
Loki can kill him with one shot, and Aaron can do the same.
Lauf is also not like Surtur, who has almost immortal characteristics and a fate-like power.
Even if he is killed, he is destined to reappear in the future.
Because Ragnarök is inevitable.
Surtur, as the most critical figure, will undoubtedly appear.
In other words, Aaron killed Surtur for the Eternal Fire, and before Ragnarök arrives, it will be difficult to truly take control of the Eternal Fire.
Moreover, Aaron and Lauf have a feud due to their parents, so no matter what, Lauf must die!
Naturally, the Casket of Ancient Winters became Aaron’s primary target.
Next, Aaron settled down and began to practice magic.
With the support of a huge energy source, Aaron cast a large-scale phantom environment magic around him in a very grand manner.
In this way, even if Frost Giants or Heimdall were to set their sights here, they wouldn’t be able to find Aaron. He could cast magic freely without worrying about being discovered.
"The first magic to ascend... the portal!"
