Drift Of The Multiverse: [Marvel] [Resident Evil] [DC] [Bleach] [DB] Chapter 296: Rivers, Lakes and Seas

His energy gradually stabilized, and the boiling energy within his body slowly subsided.

This energy didn’t just disappear—it had completely integrated into Ethan’s body and was absorbed and utilized.

Ethan looked at his body, then posed in front of the mirror a few tis. He was very satisfied with his current condition.

Every man hopes to beco taller, more handso, and stronger, and Ethan was no exception.

"Not bad. Not bad at all."

His body’s transformation left him very pleased. Ethan put on the clothes and pants he had prepared beforehand, but due to the significant increase in strength, he felt a sudden lack of control and nearly tore his T-shirt while getting dressed.

"I need to get used to this sudden surge in strength."

The sudden increase in strength required adaptation, and the improvent in spiritual energy also ant an increase in magic power. He had been training his spiritual energy in the Resident Evil world, which had already led to a considerable rise in his magic power.

If his magic power had previously ford nurous small rivers, now so of those rivers had gradually transford into large rivers, and large lake formations had begun to appear in the landscape of his spiritual energy.

After this enhancent, Ethan found that the lake formations had fully turned into actual lakes. Now, his spiritual energy landscape was covered in waterways, with large rivers flowing continuously and countless lakes of varying sizes scattered throughout.

At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before an ocean of magic power appeared in his spiritual energy landscape, completely concealing his spiritual energy beneath a vast sea of magic. Even a top-tier spiritual energy master wouldn’t be able to access his spiritual energy when his magic power was abundant.

In other words, Ethan would naturally possess a defensive barrier against mind control that could not be bypassed and could only be forcibly broken through with even stronger magic power.

"Although there’s still a good portion of spiritual energy not yet covered by the rivers and lakes symbolizing magic, as long as I prepare properly now, the Mind Stone should be ineffective against ."

He did a few simple movents to adjust to his new body. Although his spiritual energy had increased significantly, Ethan had always paid close attention to it, so the sudden leap didn’t cause any trouble.

What truly required adjustnt was the significant increase in magic power and physical fitness. However, as long as his spiritual energy didn’t go haywire, he could fully control this part of his strength with ti. For now, he just needed to be careful.

"I wonder what level my current strength has reached."

Just considering physical strength, he should have caught up to Captain Arica by now, right? Ethan habitually compared himself to Steve, thinking that his current physical fitness should be on par. Maybe he could even spar with Loki?

After getting dressed, Ethan walked out of his bedroom. Loki, who was still standing by the captain’s quarters, turned and looked at him. Seeing Ethan’s clearly changed appearance, Loki paused for a mont, then joked.

"Excuse , have you seen our captain? Sir, I don’t know what to call you."

"Ha, ha, ha." Ethan let out a few fake laughs in response. "Very amusing. Looks like no one ca looking for ?"

"After the group of won you brought aboard confird their rooms, Selene took them to tour the rest of the ship."

The Goddess of Dawn wasn’t considered especially large. Perhaps in the age of sailing warships, it would’ve been quite sizable, but for those who ca from modern worlds, they had seen much larger facilities and wouldn’t be particularly amazed by this ship.

Still, it wasn’t exactly small either. There were only a few people aboard, and everyone had enough space to move around. While they wouldn’t get lost, they still needed to familiarize themselves with the locations of various facilities.

For example, the captain’s quarters, eting room, dining hall, and storage rooms. After the tour, if they had any questions, they would co find Ethan.

"You put your things away, right?"

"Yes, they’re all stored."

Ethan had mainly helped Logan and Loki buy so supplies, which included so new clothes, though Loki clearly wasn’t satisfied with them.

"Why has your taste declined so much?"

"Because that world is about ten years behind your Earth in terms of fashion. I did my best to buy styles that weren’t too outdated."

"In that case, I won’t continue to criticize your taste."

Coming up to the deck, Ethan’s new look made Logan pause. Seeing that Ethan’s height was now comparable to his own, he suddenly laughed. "Now you won’t be bothered by that anymore, right?"

"Yes, I’m very satisfied with my current condition." Ethan paused, then added with emphasis, "Extrely satisfied with every part."

Logan showed a knowing, strange smile. While nodding, he pulled out a cigar. "Want one? To celebrate you finally growing up?"

Ethan waved him off. He had smoked cigars and cigarettes before, but they were special blends he made to enhance spiritual energy. He wasn’t interested in ordinary tobacco. Besides, with his current physical fitness, the minor harm posed no threat.

"Looks like I’ll have to save it for the day you truly ’grow up.’"

Logan put the cigar away and continued puffing contentedly.

"But seeing the people you brought back this ti, I think I understand your preferences."

"My preferences?"

"Speaking of which, aren’t you afraid Diana will get angry?" Logan changed the subject.

Ethan was speechless. He and Diana weren’t in that kind of relationship, right? But he also knew Logan was just teasing him. The comnt was a little awkward to respond to, so he had to change the subject.

"My strength has improved a lot. I need so training thods focused on body control. Do you know any?"

Logan thought for a mont. The training thods he knew were mostly conventional military techniques ant to push the body’s potential. He wasn’t sure if they’d be helpful in Ethan’s current situation.

"You’ve already been exposed to most of the thods I know. Maybe try continuous training, or exercises that require concentration and control."

"Things that require focus?"

He wasn’t worried about training his spiritual energy and magic power. The Book of Inheritance had more than enough thods to choose from. In fact, the thod of training through spiritual energy gas was very effective at developing control over both spiritual energy and magic power. It’s just that the ’ga’ he needed to play now was much more advanced than the one Sherry was using.

As for his physical body...

Ethan turned to look at Loki. Asgardians, or rather Frost Giants, had imnse strength. Loki’s physical fitness was actually superior to Captain Arica’s, but their power developed slowly with age, and they adapted gradually over long periods. It seed they didn’t have much knowledge in this area either.

"If that doesn’t work, I’ll just have to practice by sparring with you."

"Why ?"

"Right now, you’re the only one who can spar with . And you’re relatively free, aren’t you?"

Loki had nothing to say. In truth, everyone on the ship was fairly idle, but in terms of physical ability, he, the sorcerer, was the strongest. This was a benefit of his divine bloodline and a source of pride, so he certainly wouldn’t deny it.

"Then you’d better be prepared to get beaten."

Ethan really wanted to say "Bring it on!" but as the words were about to co out, he felt it was too cringey and forced them back down.

After chatting for a while, Ethan noticed the sky was getting dark. Logan began maneuvering the Goddess of Dawn to dock, while the other ships in the distance also anchored.

"Strange. Those newcors haven’t been on deck?"

Logan finished mooring the ship and went into the cabin with Ethan. There, he found Annette and Ada making dinner using cooking tools crafted with core-grade magic stone technology under Selene’s guidance.

Ethan vaguely guessed why none of them had co out to the deck.

The people on the other ships knew how many crew mbers the Goddess of Dawn originally had. In their eyes, Ethan’s ship had been sailing nearby the entire ti and hadn’t left during the journey. If a few extra people suddenly appeared on board, while it wouldn’t cause any real problems, it would still be difficult to explain.

"Did you remind them not to go on deck?"

Finding a mont, Ethan asked Selene. The female vampire didn’t take credit, saying that it was Ada who had made the suggestion after learning about their situation.

"While I was showing them around, Ada kept asking about this world and our current circumstances. I told her, and she advised everyone that it would be best not to go out on deck."

Ethan nodded. It wasn’t surprising for a spy to have that level of awareness. Others might have noticed the sa problem, but Ada suggesting it had a different effect than if Selene had.

If Selene had said it, it might’ve co across like Ethan was restricting their movent, which could make people uncomfortable, even if the reason was valid. But coming from Ada, a fellow newcor, suggesting it out of concern for the captain, it wouldn’t provoke any resentnt from Annette and Sherry.

"Where’s Sherry?"

"Laura asked her to play video gas. Laura’s always wanted a playmate to share her interests."

Before she even finished speaking, the two little girls ca into the dining room, chatting and laughing. It seed like they had already beco friends.

Seeing how happy Laura was, Ethan suddenly felt that unexpectedly bringing back little Sherry was a great decision. After all, the reason he helped Logan and Laura in the first place was so they could have a better life.
