The new technologies and ideas Ethan mentioned weren't just the ones Tony had collected from this world's galaxy, they also included the technology contained within the starship components he had specifically brought back from the Engineers.

Especially the anti-gravity technology, which was of paramount importance. This would definitely require repeated research and testing.

Most of the technology Tony currently possessed could be directly applied to the new starship, including the reactor from the Prometheus, which would be replaced with the most mature Arc Reactor technology Tony had.

There would certainly be many other details requiring adjustments, and it was estimated that in the end only the exterior design would remain unchanged.

After casually discussing the gains from this trip, Tony's greatest interest lay in the alien anti-gravity technology. Only after Ethan promised to send him those parts first thing tomorrow morning did Tony float back into the air, put on his armor, and fly away.

By the time Tony left, a hint of red light had appeared on the horizon, and it was actually already morning. This guy simply thought the parts were too big and heavy and was too lazy to move them himself.

Since Ethan had storage space, carrying things was convenient and simple, so naturally Ethan would handle the transport.

Ethan didn't sleep after Tony left, continuing to lie there waiting for dawn. Then, he took a good shower, changed into fresh clothes, and only then drove the luxury car from the garage to deliver the items to Tony.

He had been busy with this and that during this period, constantly running around for several years. Even though each task wasn't particularly troublesome, the overall time dragged on for a long while.

Therefore, at this time, Ethan didn't want to return to that kind of life rhythm so quickly. He was preparing to relax properly and enjoy some easy days, while also waiting for Tony to complete the starship modifications.

After handing the items over to Tony, Ethan returned to the manor and immediately announced something to all the team members.

"We'll be having a long period of vacation next, as we'll be waiting here for our own spaceship. Is there anything you guys want to do during this time?"

He wasn't trying to interfere with everyone's personal lives, he just wanted to see if anyone had a place they wanted to go. If they had any ideas, they didn't necessarily have to stay here and wait. Everyone could find a world they wanted to visit and have fun.

"There's nowhere we particularly want to go at the moment."

The few of them exchanged glances. For a moment, they really couldn't think of anywhere specific they wanted to go. However, Ethan saying this reminded everyone that they had such an option.

"Do we have to make a decision right away?"

"No, for the next while, if there's any world you want to go to, you can come find me. But the premise is, don't wait until I suddenly go off to some world before you decide where you want to go."

Ethan was going to relax and enjoy life properly next, and he wouldn't be randomly running off to other worlds in the short term. But if it took a long time, he might get bored, and finding him then wouldn't be as simple as it was now.

"So, where are you planning to go?"

Ethan thought about it and then suddenly felt that going to Las Vegas to have some fun might not be a bad idea.

Apart from the existence of superheroes like Iron Man and Captain America, some powerful organizations and various aliens, this Marvel Universe was largely no different from an ordinary Earth.

The things to do were also pretty much the same. Ethan thought about it and wondered if he could experience Las Vegas. He had lived for several decades across two lifetimes and had never actually been to such a place.

"Let's go to Las Vegas!"

Hearing this location, it wasn't surprising that O'Connell, Jonathan, and Logan expressed interest. What surprised Ethan was that even Evelyn and Selene showed interest.

Regardless, everyone reached an agreement and collectively headed to Las Vegas for some fun.

Ethan and the others didn't need to worry about money. Ethan had always held the identity of a Stark Industries shareholder, and the annual dividends were not a small sum. Furthermore, backed by the super-rich Tony Stark, and none of this group having a screw loose, they could thoroughly enjoy all the entertainment options available.

One advantage of this was that they didn't have to hold back when having fun.

But there was also a disadvantage, it didn't take long for everyone to get bored.

After experiencing various magical adventures, witnessing the vastness of the universe, and seeing all sorts of worlds or planets, ordinary entertainment could no longer satisfy these people.

At this point, even Sherry realized that after gaining many things that ordinary people could not obtain, they were also drifting further and further away from ordinary people.

Evelyn and Jonathan, for example, had previously thought that once they had obtained what they could from Ethan, felt tired and weary, they would return to their own world, or find a pleasant world to settle down in, and go back to that ordinary pace of life.

Now everyone realized that this situation was simply impossible.

Even if they felt bored, they probably wouldn't choose to return to ordinariness. More likely, they would seek out more interesting and exciting things to alleviate their boredom.

After returning from their trip to Las Vegas, everyone started thinking about what kind of worlds they should go to for fun.

Tony had only just begun to formulate the detailed modification plan. Starting the work would still require some time, and the completion of the modifications was even further away.

During this time, everyone couldn't just sit around and wait, right?

Of course, Mordred and Galahad were busy with catching up on studies. Going to Las Vegas earlier wasn't suitable for their age, so Tony used his connections to send them to a private academy to experience student life.

Also, Sherry had always been taught by Annette, Selene, and others. Annette also hoped to use this time to let her experience the academy life of an ordinary girl, so she was sent there as well.

Laura strongly disliked studying, and after undergoing the potion enhancement, her appearance had also become increasingly mature. She didn't look like a student at all, so she didn't go with her friends.

After returning from their trip to Las Vegas, Laura was also the first person to suggest that she wanted to go to other worlds to have fun.

This time, she chose to go alone, only taking her companion Auriel, and then proposed going to a world with abundant natural power.

And then, Ethan sent her to the world of Avatar, letting her go play with a group of blue-skinned aliens.

In a civilization similar to a primitive tribe, Laura would have plenty of opportunities to connect with nature. Although it was unknown if her Druid powers would make significant progress, she should have a lot of fun. And with the human demolition team as antagonists for her to fight, Laura definitely wouldn't be bored.

Laura's departure didn't start a trend. Compared to the young Laura, the rest were adults. After appropriate relaxation, everyone voluntarily worked hard on their training, ensuring their strength could steadily improve.

Selene also proposed an idea that gave everyone more motivation to work harder.

"Sending us to other worlds doesn't necessarily have to be for relaxation and fun. If there's something you want to obtain but don't want to or temporarily don't have time to get yourself, you can also send us to go, just like carrying out a mission."

It must be said that years of habit had somewhat constrained Ethan's thinking. He had never really considered letting his companions go to a certain world to retrieve things he needed on his behalf.

Worlds like Prometheus were completely without difficulty. Was there any difference between him going and Logan going? Even if the way they handled things was different, as long as the starship was brought back in the end, the objective would be achieved. There was absolutely no need for him to go personally.

Moreover, as Ethan's understanding of his own space-time magic circle deepened, his application of this magic became increasingly effortless and casual.

The various past restrictions were slowly disappearing. Now, he no longer needed to personally accompany others to travel, he could directly unleash the magic circle and send the target object directly over, and the accuracy of the teleportation was quite high.

Even if there were some errors resulting in less accuracy, or even sending them to the wrong place entirely, with their current strength, these people were more than capable of protecting themselves. As long as they weren't instantly killed by some inexplicable existence the moment they appeared, they would have a complete opportunity to send a signal for Ethan to pick them up again.

Furthermore, since Ethan could hide a return magic circle on Galahad's shield, as his magical strength grew and his understanding of space-time travel deepened, he could completely create specialized return items, giving one to each of his companions, ensuring they could return on their own.

"In a sense, this is also the evolution and improvement of the team."

Not only could they help Ethan retrieve specific items, but with some increase in strength, everyone could choose their own development direction. They could select target worlds and go there to obtain the training resources they needed, without having to wait for Ethan to acquire or even create everything before they could find a new path.

To go a step further, Ethan could completely create this space-time teleportation magic into a fixed magic circle or a teleportation device.

This way, everyone could go to any world they wanted anytime and anywhere, and Ethan wouldn't have to be responsible for casting the spell for every teleportation.

"I always feel like this arrangement has a strange sense of déjà vu."

He increasingly felt that this direction of development was essentially creating a small Lord God Space on his ship, wasn't it? It was just relatively freer and not as mechanized.

Although he had somehow haphazardly developed towards the direction of a Lord God, which made Ethan himself feel a bit speechless, after thinking it over carefully, he felt there was nothing wrong with it.

If he could truly analyze the principles of the space-time magic circle, turn it into magic completely under his own control, and then create teleportation devices that could be used at will, he felt it would be a good thing.

The environment where they could come and go freely gave everyone more choices. He was very curious if anyone would go and never return when that time came.
