Boom!!
Jotunheim, once the land of ice, had now become something closer to a land of fire.
Across that harsh volcanic world marched Hela's undead army.
In such a terrible environment, the Frost Giants could not endure the heat and flames. Their bodies weakened rapidly, and their strength fell to its lowest point.
Because of that, the Legion of the Undead cut through them like chopping melons and vegetables.
They pushed forward all the way, constantly cleaning up the scattered remnants of the Frost Giants across Jotunheim.
Naturally, Ethan did not need to handle that kind of war himself.
If everything required the personal effort of Ethan Drake, the emperor of the empire, then why did he need so many subordinates?
At that moment, he was still in Asgard.
In high spirits, besides enjoying Asgardian women, he continued absorbing cosmic energy to improve every aspect of his abilities.
Ding!
"Extraordinary Defense LV50."
After several days of swallowing energy, another LV50 skill was successfully born.
However, Ethan felt a little impatient because he had discovered a problem.
"Oracle."
With a low call, a template appeared in his mind.
"Host: Ethan Drake."
"Extraordinary Strength LV50, Extraordinary Defense LV50, Extraordinary Self-Healing LV50, Super Hearing LV42, Eye of Insight LV39, Super Flight LV35, Freeze Vision LV45, Heat Vision LV39, Energy Absorption LV42, Super Breath LV40, Brain Activation LV37, Power Stone LV29, Space Stone LV21, Mind Stone LV19, Reality Stone LV18."
His abilities were far more than that.
Each corresponding skill unlocked several special skills after activation.
For example, Extraordinary Strength LV50 had multiple special skills: Multi-Strike, Space Shock, Damage Splash, and Gravity Stacking.
Every skill had many special abilities waiting to be unlocked.
In that sense, Ethan's abilities were almost countless.
Of course, he rarely used those special skills now.
After all, most skills only amounted to being faster or stronger.
Many problems could be solved with one simple punch.
Besides, abilities like Space Shock were gradually being replaced by gem abilities such as the Power Stone.
What made Ethan slightly restless was that his abilities seemed to end after reaching LV50.
There was no longer a plus sign behind Extraordinary Strength LV50 on the template.
He had upgraded the three initial basic abilities one after another, and all of them had no button for adding points after LV50.
No way.
Was this a bottleneck?
Had he reached the ceiling?
At that moment, however, he discovered that the three most basic abilities slowly dimmed and began to disappear.
Wait.
How could they disappear?
Ethan's mind filled with question marks.
But when the three basic abilities completely vanished, a notification box suddenly appeared in his mind.
Ding!
"You have obtained Body of Superman LV1."
Oh my God.
Ethan immediately became excited.
He understood at once.
This was not a bottleneck.
It was not the ceiling either.
It was evolution.
The three most basic abilities had clearly fused into one.
He opened the related introduction.
"Body of Superman LV1: Possesses the initial core strength to overturn galaxies and bathe within stellar flare baptisms."
The description was simple, but it made Ethan extremely excited.
Power strong enough to overturn a galaxy.
Defense and recovery capable of bathing in the baptism of stellar flares.
Ethan understood somewhat what that meant.
Just the power of a solar flare was equivalent to the release of hundreds of millions of nuclear bombs.
Now, even the initial core of this Superman body possessed such terrifying and astonishing defense.
"Unlocked Skill: Solar Core."
"Solar Core: Your body is a solar furnace, producing a steady stream of energy."
A good ability.
With this, his endurance received an epic upgrade.
Not to mention, upgrading through Oracle would become much more convenient.
What made Ethan even happier was that he suddenly realized he was now very likely to comprehend Solar Flare.
That was one of Superman's great moves.
At this stage, that ability undoubtedly interested Ethan the most.
Of course, he was also curious about what would happen when his other abilities reached LV50.
This was clearly not a bottleneck.
It was transformation.
Ethan gathered his thoughts and stood from the throne.
He waved his fist slightly.
In an instant, a hurricane swept through the entire palace.
"..."
"My strength has increased a lot."
"The core strength of my body has truly improved by a large margin."
It was like receiving a new toy.
Naturally, he had to try it out.
Ethan flew out of Asgard at an incredible speed.
He moved so fast that he directly pierced through the dimensional boundary of the pocket universe before him and arrived in the solar system with a bang.
Feeling playful, he even rushed into the sun.
He soaked in the burning flames and treated the sun completely like a swimming pool.
With his new Body of Superman, even an accidental solar flare could no longer make Ethan worry.
He wandered within the sun without the slightest concern.
"Comfortable."
After flying out of the solar system, he tested his other abilities one after another.
With a single use of Super Breath, he inhaled, then exhaled a hurricane that swept through a distant meteorite field.
His heat vision poured out and pierced through a small dwarf planet in the distance.
Even the Infinity Stones had been greatly enhanced in use.
"Excellent."
After another transformation in strength, Ethan felt that he had become much stronger.
Most importantly, this Body of Superman was only LV1, yet it had already brought such incredible progress from the start.
It was hard to imagine what would happen after it reached the maximum level.
Or whether there would be another transformation once it was maxed out.
After finishing the experiment, Ethan opened a spatial gate.
With one step, he returned to Asgard.
The reason he came back to Asgard was not because he was reluctant to leave.
Instead, Ethan suddenly remembered that he had not opened Odin's treasury yet.
Click!
The heavy marble door was slowly opened by Hela.
Behind it was Odin's treasure vault, an underground palace filled with treasures Asgard had collected over thousands of years.
Hela stood beside him and introduced them one by one.
"Your Majesty, this is Odin's treasury."
"This pot of fire is the Eternal Flame. It can help resurrect the dead."
"This is the Orb of Agamotto. It can detect dangers from other universes and other magical threats."
She continued presenting each treasure in order.
It had to be said that although Odin's treasury did not contain many items, every single piece was a rare masterpiece.
Soon, Ethan discovered the Casket of Ancient Winters, the sacred treasure of the Frost Giants.
Although it was far inferior to an Infinity Stone, the Casket of Ancient Winters still possessed the power to plunge an entire planet into a frozen world.
"It is also a treasure."
"It would be a pity to leave it here gathering dust."
"Hela, I'll allow you to use it in the future."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Hela lowered her head respectfully.
The Warlock's Eye.
The Life Tablet.
Treasures entered Ethan's view one after another.
Then something suddenly made him curious.
The Destroyer armor still existed.
Huh?
Wasn't it supposed to have been destroyed in Thor?
