"Your shouting wasn't inspiring at all, it even made me laugh."

No one present spared Ethan's dignity. Logan's comment was already quite tactful, while Rocket Raccoon and Star-Lord were laughing like idiots, even though they had no idea what the joke was.

He retracted his spread arms, not feeling embarrassed at all. Anyway, shouting made him feel comfortable all over, and that was enough.

"Alright, things are settled. We can now think about what to do next."

There was no doubt that Star-Lord, Yondu, and the others would return to the Marvel world.

At least Star-Lord had no intention of staying, and Rocket Raccoon and the others were also more accustomed to life in that world's galaxy. They had no immediate thoughts of adventuring elsewhere.

Through their interactions during this time, a good relationship had been established. If Ethan needed help in the future, Star-Lord and his crew would be happy to assist.

Even if it was considered a commissioned job, they would not demand currency from the Marvel world. Ethan had many things that could be used as payment.

Just like this commission.

During this time, Ethan had gained a detailed understanding of everyone's situation and had already created specialized enhancement potions. Groot's life form was too unique, making it impossible to create enhancement potions for him.

If Groot was willing to change his life form, Ethan could find a way to first turn him into a "human" and then specifically create an enhancement potion for him.

However, Groot refused the suggestion. He preferred his current form and wasn't very interested in enhancing himself with potions, preferring to grow naturally.

Since he did not insist, Ethan had nothing more to say. Only Rocket Raccoon's situation was slightly more complicated.

Others like Gamora, Yondu, and even Star-Lord were simple. If they had hidden potential, that potential would be activated. If they didn't have potential, it would be increased.

Only Rocket Raccoon and Nebula's situations were slightly more complex.

Among them, Rocket Raccoon was even more troublesome.

This resulted in Ethan not having time to create Nebula's potion after finally completing Rocket Raccoon's enhancement potion.

Fortunately, Nebula had already decided to stay with Ethan for a while, so she wasn't in a hurry to undergo enhancement.

Her calculation was very clever. She was willing to spend more time waiting so she could ask Ethan to adjust and meticulously create a more powerful potion based on her own condition.

Nebula didn't expect to become stronger than Thanos all at once, but by gaining more powerful strength, her chances of killing Thanos in the future would ultimately increase.

She could also see what effect the potion Ethan made had on Rocket Raccoon. After all, her situation was similar to Rocket Raccoon's. Both had undergone various scientific modifications, making their physical conditions quite complex, and she had even more mechanical structures on her body compared to him.

After Rocket Raccoon used the enhancement potion, Nebula really couldn't see any changes in the guy. She even suspected that Ethan's potion had failed.

Actually, Ethan's potions had always been like this. They wouldn't produce immediate noticeable effects upon use but would gradually take effect as time passed.

The advantage of this was that it gave the user enough time to slowly adapt to their strength. At the same time, diligent training could accelerate the potion's effects and also prevent the user from becoming overly reliant on this method of becoming stronger, thus avoiding laziness and complacency.

Furthermore, Rocket Raccoon had no dissatisfaction with his current appearance. He was already used to it, or rather, he was originally a raccoon and had no desire to change his appearance, so naturally, no changes were visible.

As for the enhancement potion's effect on appearance optimization... does having more beautiful fur count?

In addition, the lifespans of everyone who used the enhancement potion were significantly increased. In the past, Star-Lord worried that his lifespan as an "Earthling" was too short and he would grow old before he could explore the entire galaxy.

Now he no longer had to worry about this issue. After using the enhancement potion, his lifespan would definitely exceed that of most races in the galaxy. Even civilizations that had mastered advanced genetic modification techniques might not live longer than Star-Lord.

Moreover, the greatest effect of the potion Star-Lord used was activating the part of his bloodline that came from Ego. Now, while retaining his human appearance, he had initially awakened some extraordinary abilities.

The most obvious change was that he could gradually sense the various energies contained within the universe. The universe in Star-Lord's "eyes" had completely changed, revealing a new world.

Of course, sensing them didn't mean he could immediately gather and manipulate these energies. He needed to achieve these abilities through persistent training.

But even so, he gained power far beyond ordinary people. As long as he could persist in training, his lifespan would also become longer and longer. After all, Ego was a super long-lived species, and a long life gave him more time to practice these abilities, ultimately entering a virtuous cycle.

Because his talent was there, after initially teaching him various theoretical knowledge, Ethan didn't need to worry about the rest.

The only thing that gave Ethan a headache was that Star-Lord actually had a similar hobby to Sherry, asking Ethan to help him make a "lightsaber" and somehow getting a robe from somewhere, posing around whenever he had nothing else to do.

"You said I can control the energy in the universe, isn't that just like a Jedi?"

"Something like that!"

The Force controlled by Jedi, although there are several different interpretations (equivalent to different sects), can ultimately be understood as the energy contained within the universe.

Jedi can achieve various incredible things by sensing and using the Force. Strictly speaking, it is very similar to the direction Star-Lord is currently training in.

When Star-Lord trained for a while and discovered he could "move" screws out of thin air, he immediately adopted the lightsaber as his official melee weapon.

Well, anyway, the Marvel universe already had Paladins, Saint Seiyas, and Arcane Mages, so adding one more Jedi wasn't a big deal.

Because of Ethan's presence, the occupants of the two fighters could travel between them freely, which indirectly increased everyone's living space.

However, such cramped living couldn't last forever. After the payment was settled, everyone had completed the use of the enhancement potions and, after a period of training, initially shown results. They had Star-Lord find a planet to land on.

This planet was not too far from Purple Star. It was a barren planet with nothing but sand and rocks, and it had low gravity and a thin atmosphere, making it a planet where life was basically impossible to be born.

After landing, Ethan first helped Yondu put his fighter into a specialized glass container, as agreed upon earlier.

Then he took everyone to the Marvel universe.

Although exploring the planet took some time, due to the flow of time and the specific time node Ethan had targeted, for Tony, Ethan and his crew had only been gone for about a week. He hadn't expected Ethan to return so quickly.

"Things didn't go smoothly?"

Returning so quickly, he thought something had gone wrong. But Star-Lord and the group of aliens seemed quite happy.

"It went very smoothly. It's just that things are done, and everyone needs a suitable place to relax. After thinking about it, this place seemed the most suitable."

The main reason was that he had to bring Star-Lord and the others back anyway, and he had "his own property" here, so he brought everyone along.

"As long as everything went well."

Hearing that there were no accidents, Tony began asking about the specific details of Ethan and their exploration work this time. He also casually asked how the training ground world had been set up.

While Ethan and Tony were recounting what had happened during this time, Logan and the others gradually went off to do things that would allow them to relax.

Star-Lord and the others, who had originally intended to leave immediately, also decided to stay here for a few days. After all, they needed rest after continuous travel and exploration.

As for Betty and Modred, who were visiting for the first time, they stayed behind briefly to greet Tony.

When he heard that this little girl in front of him was Arthur's "son," the legendary Modred, his expression also turned a bit strange.

"Isn't it a son?"

"There was a bit of a mistake."

Ethan shrugged, not thinking it was a big deal. It was just a female version of Modred, what was so surprising about that? In countless universes, there were even female versions of King Arthur.

After greeting each other, Modred followed Selene to choose her room. Anyway, the manor was large enough. Let alone a few extra people, it could accommodate twice the team's size.

"Alright, the multiverse holds infinite possibilities."

Since learning magic, Tony had gradually become accustomed to all sorts of strange things. However, compared to these matters, he suddenly made a request that left Ethan speechless.

"Excuse me, who did you just say you want to see?"

Ethan rubbed his ears, suspecting he had misheard something. Had the potion he made finally revealed side effects?

"I want to meet Bruce Wayne. Is there anything surprising about that?" Tony Stark looked at Ethan's exaggerated reaction, feeling quite speechless. "That shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

"It's indeed not difficult..." Ethan confirmed he hadn't misheard. He was very curious why Tony suddenly wanted to see that person. "What do you want to see him for? You two don't have any history, do you?"

"In the Transformers world, I downloaded some things from the internet."

Tony didn't hide anything. Besides, there was no need to be secretive in front of Ethan.

"I'm very curious about this superhero who has no special abilities and relies entirely on intelligence and various technological devices."

He said he was curious, but the blatant defiance on his face couldn't be hidden from anyone. Any normal person could see that this guy wanted to stir up trouble.
