Ethan had a completely different reason for thinking of training a Reincarnator compared to other main gods.
Other main gods trained Reincarnators more as subordinate gods, while Ethan hoped to cultivate someone who could enter and exit different worlds and help him bring back different powers and rules.
As his power and life entered a new level, Ethan now wanted to improve further. Besides increasing his magic power and mastering more types of power to expand his mental universe, he also needed to comprehend various rules, especially the unique rules of certain worlds, which could broaden his horizons and provide mutual reference.
Of course, Ethan could do these things himself, but it would undoubtedly be much easier if someone helped collect them, especially in worlds that had some unique characteristics but were quite boring for the current Ethan. He could let the Reincarnator handle that work.
"You must be clear about one thing if you want to be my Reincarnator."
"What?"
"I do not have a Reincarnation Space."
Ethan spread his hands. He did not have a mature Reincarnation Space that could issue missions, settle accounts, and distribute rewards, while also serving as a resting world. Although he had become a god and mastered some rules, creating a Reincarnation Space from scratch was not something he could do casually.
Moreover, creating such a world required vast energy, and he was still looking for vast energy to complete his physical growth.
"Uh..."
Kazama Ryu felt a bit disappointed. He thought Ethan was rejecting him.
"However... if you do not mind the trouble, I can actually do something similar to a Reincarnation Space."
"Similar?"
"What is the biggest function of a Reincarnation Space?"
Kazama Ryu's mind was quick, and he immediately thought of the answer.
"Sending Reincarnators to various worlds."
The biggest function of a Reincarnation Space is not the settlement and distribution of rewards, nor the ability to exchange various abilities and items, but sending Reincarnators to all sorts of worlds.
As long as they have a bit of sense and the advantage of knowing the plot, Reincarnators can do quite well in most worlds.
"If this can be achieved, whether there are reward points and exchange stores is completely irrelevant, because there are more than enough benefits in those endless worlds."
"I can send you to some worlds, and in return, you just need to help me bring some things back. Other than that, I will not assign you any mandatory missions, nor is there any mechanism for erasure. Naturally, I will not give you any rewards either, you can only strive for what you want on your own."
Ethan thought for a moment, realizing this did not seem to incentivize the Reincarnator to work hard and improve, so he added, "Of course, if what you bring back satisfies me, I will not be stingy in giving you a satisfactory reward."
"Sounds like a transaction?"
"A Reincarnation Space is a transaction to begin with. It is just that Reincarnators have no room to bargain with the main god."
Only Reincarnators who have grown to a certain level are qualified to bargain face-to-face with the main god. The vast majority can only follow the rules set by the main god and do things honestly.
Compared to them, Kazama Ryu undoubtedly got a great advantage. He was very lucky to meet Ethan, a main god who had not grown up yet. Although the main god at this stage is far less powerful than those mature main gods, precisely because his power is not strong enough, he will not directly exploit ordinary Reincarnators like those mature main gods do. That is why, as an ordinary person, he could stand here and discuss face-to-face with Ethan.
"With such good terms, there is no way I would not agree."
Ethan nodded. He did not bother signing any soul contracts or similar things with Kazama Ryu. For him, this was just a casual move he thought of on the spur of the moment. It would be great if it worked, but it did not matter if it did not.
If Kazama Ryu grew up and became his excellent helper, he certainly would not treat him unfairly. Not to mention giving him his own resources, he could even help him go to specific worlds to get things he did not have but needed, or even help him occupy a world as his personal territory.
If the two decided not to continue cooperating after a brief transaction, Ethan would not hold a grudge or complain. Anyway, the things both parties wanted were already listed in this transaction. After getting what they needed, if they did not want to cooperate anymore, they could just part ways amicably.
If he did not cultivate and wanted to be an ingrate, Ethan had countless ways to make him regret it. With Ethan's current strength, even if he died, his soul would suffer endless pain and torment. He could even be sent to reincarnation and continue tormenting him in different ways.
"While you have this time, go back and think carefully, and come up with a reliable plan."
"Plan?"
Ethan looked at Kazama Ryu's rarely seen puzzled expression. This transmigrator, who always seemed very shrewd and calm, looked more like an ordinary person at this moment.
He thought that they had reached an agreement, and the next step was to see what Ethan needed, then send him to that world. As for whether he could do it and what benefits he could get in that world, that completely depended on his own ability.
If he succeeded, Ethan would bring him back, and then they would proceed with the next mission.
Under normal circumstances, this is indeed how it should be done.
However, Ethan did not want to train Reincarnators in such a simple and crude way like a true main god. A true main god has thousands of Reincarnators in their hands, and they only pay a little attention after these Reincarnators show potential.
There are also those like Madeleine, who select some pleasing individuals for focused training, but more often, it still depends on the Reincarnator's own ability.
Ethan was different. He had just accepted this nominal Reincarnator, and he was reluctant to use him as a consumable.
"Your current strength is too poor. You need to improve yourself. Go back and study some things properly. You cannot learn all of Kojirō Sasaki's swordsmanship, but he definitely knows how to lay a foundation for you... You do not need to study Medea's magic too deeply. The magic of this world is completely unusable in other worlds. You just need to understand it appropriately."
Ethan gave simple instructions, and after Kazama Ryu understood that Ethan was deliberately looking out for him, a hint of joy flashed across his face. Ethan was very willing to train him, and he seemed to see a bright future beckoning him.
"Also, you can think carefully about what kind of world is suitable for you to undergo basic training and improve your strength. For the initial worlds, I do not expect you to bring back things like world rules. I will be quite satisfied if you can bring back some relatively special power seeds."
"Power seeds?"
"It is the cultivation method for certain powers and a sample of that energy. If you cultivate it yourself, as long as you can return, I can also extract a sample of this energy from you."
"I understand."
This kind of mission was indeed not very difficult. The most crucial thing was that it did not conflict with Kazama Ryu's own interests at all. He wanted to become stronger himself and would also cultivate some powers. As long as he could remember the cultivation method for this power and cultivate it to a certain extent, he could return.
"Then, the last question, how should I return?"
"I will specifically give you an item. This way, you can contact me through that item in the future. Including returning and departing again, I can help you accomplish it through this item."
Ethan could be said to have considered things quite thoroughly. Where could you find such a good main god? Kazama Ryu now felt like he had been hit squarely by a huge pie falling from the sky, and it had even slid directly into his mouth. Just when he was starving, he ate his fill.
This made him feel a bit floaty when he left the Emiya household. Ethan was even worried that he might get too happy and end up being hit and sent flying by a sudden rush of a small truck halfway. That would be truly tragic.
After seeing off Kazama Ryu, who had come to recommend himself, Ethan returned to the house and found no one, but he quickly confirmed that everyone was staying in the dojo.
With his current perception ability, he could know everyone's location without specifically searching.
He just did not expect these few people to be gathered in the dojo, actually teaching Shirou, excluding Sakura and Medusa, who were purely watching the fun.
Ever since it was decided they would go to other worlds, Illya had been various degrees of dissatisfied with her foolish younger brother's weak strength. Whenever she got a chance, she wanted to give him a good lesson, starting with reviewing his basic magic knowledge.
Especially that incorrect method of using magic circuits, Illya was almost angered to the point of spitting blood when she learned how Shirou used his magic circuits. This was not just a matter of poor strength, it was simply reckless.
She did not know about Kiritsugu's painstaking efforts. Now, she just wanted to give her idiotic younger brother a good scolding.
Watching Illya in the dojo mock and ridicule the exhausted and sweaty Shirou in various ways, Ethan was very worried that Illya would suddenly blurt out, "My foolish little brother, hate me! Only then can you become stronger..." and then Shirou's eyes would turn blood red...
"Did you mention to them that these magic spells cannot be used in other worlds?"
Scáthach, who was happily watching the fun from the side, waved her hand indifferently. "Some magic can be used even if slightly modified and separated from the Root. Besides, I found that this child named Shirou has good talent. It would be a waste not to train and cultivate him properly."
Ethan suddenly understood why Illya was unhappy. His talent was clearly good, yet his strength was so poor. It was a huge waste. That is why she especially wanted to unearth Shirou's talent.
"Since Illya is training Shirou, should we go to the Land of Shadows first?"
"Are you in such a hurry?" Scáthach deliberately looked at Diana nearby. "But is it appropriate to mention these things in front of her?"
"..."
