Chapter 93: Teaching Secret Techniques (Third Watch)
After the hidden danger of the hive was solved, and all aspects of affairs on the other side were arranged in place, Michael was finally able to spare time to teach Victor von Doom the secret knowledge that he had been thinking about.

Compared with others, it is undoubtedly much easier to get started with Doom spell.First of all, he himself is not a blank slate. He once taught himself some simple black magic from the black magic books left by his gypsy mother, and he also did some research on the principles of magic. In-depth, but also has some unique insights.

Although Dum is extremely talented, since he was a child, he has only studied the obscure classics left by his mother, and no one has taught him, so what he has learned is still a bit superficial for the time being.However, there are some powerful spells recorded in his book, including some extremely dangerous forbidden spells.Doom's mother, Cynthia, used one of the taboo spells to summon Mephisto, the lord of hell, and signed a contract with the devil, borrowing omnipotent power from him, in order to defend her homeland.

But that spell was too powerful for Cynthia to handle.She was consumed by darkness, lost herself, and she crossed the line and did things she didn't intend to do.In the end, her soul was also taken away by Mephisto, and she was imprisoned in hell for eternity and tortured.

But what Cynthia did was indeed too reckless. Signing a contract directly with the devil is the most dangerous taboo spell even in black magic.In addition, an overly powerful dark force can easily devour the caster's sanity and corrupt their psychology, which is why Michael tries not to use it as much as possible.

Michael has always known that Doom is extremely talented, but after communicating with him, he really realized how terrifying Doom's magical aptitude is.Dum's self-taught knowledge was quite chaotic and fragmented. Michael helped him sort it out, starting with the basic principles of all spells. In just a few hours, Dum figured out countless questions that had troubled him for many years, as if suddenly Mao Sai suddenly understood, and his thoughts became more than ten times smoother.

Michael also did not forget to tell him the difference between white magic and black magic, and carefully told him what kind of hidden dangers would be brought about by using black magic for a long time.He tried to teach Doom the basic way to absorb space power from multiple dimensions and forge weapons for combat. To his surprise, Doom succeeded in casting his first weapon after only two failed attempts to spark a spark. A spell shield.

At this time, Michael couldn't help sighing, maybe even Doctor Steve Strange, who later inherited the mantle of the Supreme Mage, may not be much more talented than Dum.

Doom is a fast learner, with an astonishing ability to absorb and digest new knowledge.And he is very good at drawing inferences from one instance, he can extend any spells he has learned with divergent and innovative thinking.Many times all Michael needs to do is to give him some advice and let him use his own brain to think.

Then Michael also tried to introduce him some of his own experience on the combination of technology and magic.

These parts are not what you can see in any ancient magic books. This kind of attempt is unprecedented, and you can only explore it by yourself. What Michael can teach him is only personal experience.

What resonates with him, though, is that Doom has had some self-exploration similar to his before.Desperate to find a way to hell to save his mother's soul from hell, Doom's magical prowess isn't enough to help him do so.

So Dum also thought of this way - combining technology with magic.He devoted himself to the study of cutting-edge technology, deeply studied the knowledge related to space folding in the field of quantum physics, combined his scientific knowledge with the knowledge about the dimension of hell he learned from the book, and actually created a machine to help him enter hell .

From various perspectives, they do have a lot in common.

Michael briefly explained to Doom how his armor could use spells.He told Dum how he wrote simple and commonly used spells into computer programs, and stored them in the database in a language that computers could understand for instant recall.

In addition, he specially designed channels in the endoskeleton of his armor for the transmission of space energy required for spellcasting. These channels can not only transport magic power to cast spells through the armor, but also charge magic power into any weapon system of the armor itself. While increasing the power, it also increases the damage of the weapon system to certain specific objects.

In layman's terms, it is to "enchant" the regular weapons of the armor so that they work against creatures like demons that don't work at all.

Dum carefully studied the few simple programming spells that Michael showed him, and couldn't help but be amazed: "This is really incredible. You can apply magic power to all aspects of armor, and you can also use technological means to assist in the precise operation of spells, or Scan the property value of the magic power."

"It's only in theory for the time being." Michael stood calmly behind him with folded arms when he was amazed at these procedures, "Current technical means can only assist some simple and basic spells, the time and magic power of spell casting There is still a lot of room for improvement in transmission efficiency. And I believe that as the research continues to deepen, some large-scale magic rituals that are originally costly can also be realized with the help of cutting-edge machinery and equipment."

Dum didn't speak anymore, but his eyes staring at the screen interface became more and more intense.

From the moment he lost his mother, Doom was determined to rescue her.He taught himself magic, delved into technology, accepted the invitation of the army to come to the United States, and entered the university until now. Everything he did was for this sole purpose.

And at no other moment in his life had he been more certain that he had finally found the right path, or at least someone who would lead him on the right path.

Noticing the burning ambition in Dum's eyes, Michael patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be too hasty, you have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to walk step by step on the road. You should be familiar with the spells first, and when you can skillfully use various Consider incorporating basic spells into technological devices. But in the evening, I can ask Shirley to send you some physical models and energy curves of spells that I made during my earlier studies, and you can start your research from here."

Dum was silent for a moment, reached out and turned off the screen hanging in front of him.

"You know, what you do...it means a lot to me," he said earnestly.

"No, you earned these for yourself," Michael said, "and if you have spare time, you might as well take the time to design a set of armor for yourself."

Dum was startled: "Why?"

"If you want to fight Mephisto in the future, it is obviously not enough to just stay in the laboratory and research technology every day. You need experience, actual combat experience."

As Michael said, he raised his hand and opened the spell portal, ready to leave.

"Get ready, I may arrange for you to go on a field mission after a while."
