I want to have a date with Superman
Chapter 147 Rebound damage, mind spell
Harry personally tested the "Escape Room Technique" a few more times.
For example, she put shackles on her hands and put her fingers on the fire to roast them. Pain and injury were the price paid in advance.
"Click!" She saw with her own eyes that the shackles opened by themselves.
Try it again, and test it a third time according to Madam Xanadu’s instructions.
Finally, she felt that feeling.
She didn't know if it was magic power, but that momentary surge gave her the illusion that she could do anything with it.
It is indeed an illusion to do anything, but you can indeed choose your own way of escape.
For example, after hurting herself again with the same handcuffs, Harley consciously did not open them. Instead, her hands seemed to have become invisible, allowing the shackles to pass through her wrists, and she gained freedom in another way.
"This magic is amazing."
Finally, it is no longer "fake magic" to summon demons and use them.
For the first time, Harry intuitively felt that "the essence of magic is miracle".
After trying several escape rooms, she frowned and said: "Escape rooms can only be used to break free from restraints. Although it is useful, it is too single.
Can you use the pain to do other things? For example, counter-injury to the enemy? "
The enemy's attacks help her gain experience and provide her with magic power. She then uses magic power to attack the enemy. Just thinking about it, it's so beautiful.
Mrs. Xanadu nodded and said: "Countless mages with ideals and wisdom are looking for ways to avoid the source of magic.
When they discovered that the same effect as the source of magic could be achieved at the cost of harming the physical body, they were ecstatic, full of passion, and immediately started research.
The results are mixed, damaging the physical body does activate most magic.
But this method of casting is very simple.
To use a certain spell, you must first study the corresponding spell. "
"The escape room technique was Zatara's masterpiece thirty years ago, and I don't know how many generations it has been improved to now.
But the most widely spread in the magic world is the death curse.
At the moment when the mage is killed, even if there is no magic power left in his body, he may use the tragic price of his own death to impose a terrifying curse on the caster.
The damage rebound you want is theoretically an offshoot of Dying Curse.
To achieve a certain effect, the corresponding spell must be researched in advance.
You can research curses to retaliate and use curses as a means of attack.
You can also use fire to retaliate and use fire as a means of attack."
"By analogy, what kind of anti-injury effect you want, you have to master the corresponding spell before being injured."
"Regular magic is too simple. At the cost of magic power, you can almost make your wishes come true. For example, the Zatanna you have seen,
She uses irony magic and does whatever she says without the need for any spells.
Of course, irony magic is also considered the top genre in the magic world, and most mages have to use their own inherited spells. "
Mrs. Xanadu made it clear and clear, and Harry understood that the idea of "repaying him with kindness" could not be realized.
The attacks are varied and unpredictable, making it impossible but not impossible for her.
She could learn from Murong Bo, collect martial arts knowledge from all over the world, and then invent the corresponding counter-injury spell.
"Besides hurting your body, is there any other way to pay the price?" Harley asked curiously.
Mrs. Xanadu shook her head, "You have to understand that in the theory of paying the price in advance, there is also the concept of a small universe in the human body.
In other words, the universe we live in has been completely infiltrated by the magic power of the supreme existence, and the only place that has not been corroded is our physical body itself.
We have nothing but our bodies.
Just like in the mortal world, civilians under the plutocracy are so barren that they only have their own bodies.
In order to fill their bellies and live a good life, they sell their bodies to the superiors, either as labor force or simply as sex workers.
These people who obey the destiny are equivalent to the orthodox mages in the magic world, such as me. "
When she said this, Mrs. Xanadu's expression was calm, without any trace of humiliation or unwillingness.
"If you insist on not selling your body, you just need to crawl under the bridge, curl up, and use your willpower to endure.
Naturally, you have to bear the physical pain.
In the magic world, they are people who use 'price magic'. "
Then, Xanadu smiled strangely and said: "Of course, everything doesn't have to be so extreme. There is a class between accepting the reality of being exploited and not getting rid of anything.
In reality, they are called the Lying Ping clan; in the magic world, they are the ‘order believers’.
Look at me, after living for more than a thousand years, my magic power is not as good as that of the little girl Zatanna.
As for the magic I know, there are almost no large-scale attacks.
Most of the time, I only use divination that doesn't cost mana. "
"The hierarchy in the magical world is even more strict than in the real world." Harry sighed.
Everyone disagreed and said: "Isn't this nonsense? How many years can a mortal live?
The supreme beings are all born of the universe, they are born, the universe exists, and they exist.
Even if the efficiency is lower than that of ordinary people, after countless years, it is enough to monopolize the magic power of the entire universe.
Mortals can still make revolutions and revolutions, breaking down solidified hierarchies.
The supreme being imposes great power on itself. The strong are always strong and stay in high positions forever. Why are you making trouble? "
Harley sighed and said, "No wonder the heaven, hell, and the supernatural world were all in chaos when the giant ferocious beast appeared.
The people at the bottom want to take the opportunity to cause revolution and death!
Being oppressed is too painful and frustrating.
Even though he knew that the giant beast might be another dictator, he chose to turn a blind eye and anesthetize himself."
Mrs. Xanadu sneered: "They just want to gain greater benefits and higher status in the new era by virtue of their support.
Reforming the old and creating a new world are not considered at all.
Anyone who becomes the new ruler of the wizarding world will be no different from their predecessors. "
Harley nodded, agreeing with her statement.
If she were a supreme being like God, she would not leave any ownerless magic power to future generations.
Just like the "horse fathers" have become the richest people, and they still shout "996 is a blessing", isn't it because they want to squeeze the younger generations more cruelly?
Then, she frowned and said, "Is there a school of 'price magic' in the magic world?"
"No." Mrs. Xanadu sighed: "You just experienced it yourself. You were stabbed hard by a knife for a long time. You screamed in pain and then managed to untie a rope.
If the miracle index of an escape room is 1, the magic power consumption is 0.1, and the price is paid in physical damage, the pain index is 10.
Then the miracle index of releasing the fireball is 10, the magic power consumption is 1, the damage you take is ten times as before, and you almost lose half your life.
The miracle index of time and space teleportation is 500, and the magic power consumption is 5. Even if you lose your life, it will not be enough to cast a teleportation spell.
But the mage's body is not much different from ordinary people.
Even for magic warriors, their steel bodies must be maintained by magic power, not the body itself.
So, you get it?
The mortal body of a mage cannot satisfy the huge demand for magic power to create miracles. "
Harry's heart moved and he asked: "In addition to earthlings, there are also aliens in the world.
If an alien race is particularly rough-skinned and fleshy, can it develop 'self-mutilation magic'? "
Everyone said disapprovingly: "No matter how thick the skin and flesh are, how thick can it be? A large-scale magic is still seriously injured.
‘Price Magic’ cannot be used as a regular means.
Unless he is not only strong enough, but can also recover from injuries instantly.
If so, he himself is a miracle, and miracles are magic.
For example, magical creatures such as demons, angels, and extradimensional beings. "
Is Dachao considered a magical creature?
Harley thought about it carefully and logically said it wasn't, but Dachao needed the light of the yellow sun.
"Are Dr. Manhattan and other supernatural beings considered magical creatures?"
Shandu said uncertainly: "I think Manhattan is a high-dimensional life form, and it should be considered a miraculous creature, beyond the scope of magic.
I have also seen other superpowers, terrestrial and alien, and their powers are interesting and unique.
It may be a second way besides ‘physical harm’, or it may be a new toy of the Supreme Being.
But it is certain that miracles of any kind come with a price.
This is the supreme law of the universe and will never change. "
Harley thought for a while and said: "When using escape room techniques, the magic power is not generated bit by bit as the damage increases.
Instead, when the damage accumulates to a certain level, it is suddenly born and transformed into a spell almost at the same time.
I would like to ask, is it possible to retain that magic and store it until it is really needed? "
"Probably not."
"Why?"
Xanadu said: "By injuring the body and avoiding the source of magic and using magic, this process has already avoided the magic.
To put it more bluntly, when you use an escape room technique, you don't generate any magic at all.
That is the power of the rules of the universe that is higher than magic.
Aren’t we just borrowing the rule ‘magic comes with a price’? "
Harry thought for a moment and said, "Madam, can you teach me the cost magic?"
"If you really plan to go down this road, I suggest you go find Zatara. He is an expert in the 'Price Curse'." Mrs. Xanadu said seriously.
"Are you familiar with him? Can you recommend him?" Harley asked.
Mrs. Xanadu said with a dull face: "We were lovers once, but we broke up and almost went to war. We didn't speak for decades after that."
Harry sighed and asked, "Can you teach me some spells first?"
“In addition to the escape room technique that Zatara taught me thirty years ago, I only know one ancient curse technique.
Let me explain first, the curse technique is too old and not very effective. " Xanadu said.
"Shouldn't ancient magic be more powerful?" Harley asked doubtfully.
"Is ancient science stronger than today's science?" Xanadu asked.
"I didn't expect the development of magic to be so 'scientific'. I thought the ancient gods were active and the magic civilization was more prosperous." Harley said strangely.
"Even if the gods retreat, the inheritance of magic has not been cut off. It is naturally optimized from generation to generation. Have you heard of Nick from Brooklyn?"
Harry said in surprise: "I've heard it several times and they say he is a leader among the young people in the extraordinary world."
"His magic level is very ordinary, and he didn't awaken until he was in his twenties. But his creativity in magic is amazing, and even seniors including me are amazed and admired."
Harry actually saw a little jealousy and envy on Xanadu's face.
"Hey, please teach me the anti-injury spell. It's better to have something to eat than to go hungry." She said.
The people in Xanadu were nice. Not only did they give away the spells for free, they also explained them in detail.
"The function is good, but the efficiency is a bit low," Harley frowned.
The counter-injury curse of this "brain curse" mainly attacks the enemy's brain.
Very cool.
However, the effect was so poor that even if he was killed by the enemy, it would only give him the same migraine headache as Cao Cao.
Xanadu also admitted: "The brain curse only has a 0.1% counter-injury effect, which is relatively low among curses. The only advantage is that it targets the head."
Harley asked: "How strong is the most efficient anti-injury spell?"
"700%!"
"My dear, which magic master invented it?" Harley said excitedly.
"God."
Harry's heart moved, "Is it Cain's sevenfold retribution?"
The story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is famous.
They also gave birth to a pair of brothers, the eldest brother Cain and the second child Abel.
Cain was a farmer and Abel was a herdsman. They both believed in God devoutly.
Cain offered grains to God, but God did not look at them; Abel offered slaughtered lambs, and God was pleased.
Cain refused and killed his brother Abel.
Then God gave Cain a "curse": anyone who hurt Cain would be repaid sevenfold.
"About seven times the counter-injury is the limit. Unfortunately, no one knows how God does it. The mage has been studying for tens of thousands of years, and the maximum counter-injury does not exceed 10%." Xanadu said.
"Myra also said in the Bible that if you kill him, you will be repaid 77 times." Harley said.
"Myra was bragging, and God wasn't paying any attention to him."
Harley fell into deep thought, should she ask God to exchange the "punishment" of sevenfold repayment?
