In Ares's memory, the physical laws that existed on Earth in later generations were like a membrane, nailed to the planet's surface by a certain clumsy, big-chested king's Holy Lance. He originally thought this meant that once the Holy Lance was pulled out, the physical laws on Earth would cease to function. However, upon arriving in the Age of Gods, he realized this idea was wrong.
physical laws should exist constantly throughout the entire universe; otherwise, if there were no physical laws of later generations in the Age of Gods, the entire world would fall into disorder, gravity would disappear, celestial bodies would become chaotic, and atoms on Earth would not be able to form complete objects.
The so-called "Holy Lance nailing down physical laws" should refer to when the clumsy king used the Holy Lance to kill Vortigern, completely ending the Age of Gods. The Holy Lance also nailed the entire world's mystery under a thin membrane. From then on, the mystery of the Age of Gods only existed in the Inner Sea of Stars within the world, physical laws became mainstream, and the Outer Source dried up as a result. Magic users were forced to begin conserving mystery to maintain their power.
This means that in this world, the universe's four fundamental forces should also exist and be the basic laws spread throughout the entire universe. Ares received a positive answer after bringing things back to Tree Palace and asking Hecate.
Ares had previously considered that if he could create a power system directly based on the universe's fundamental laws, he could achieve his idea of "the strong getting stronger." However, the idea was beautiful, but he was just an ordinary person before transmigrating and couldn't possibly explore such a system from scratch.
Fortunately, relying on the power of the black crystal to travel through worlds, he obtained this Magnetic Field Rotation cultivation method. Although this was just the simplest, most basic cultivation method, not the profound martial arts or ultimate skills from that world, it was precisely because it was the most basic that it allowed him to understand the structure of this power system.
To cultivate Magnetic Field Rotation, one must first enter the realm of Electric Current Propulsion. When martial artists temper their physical bodies beyond mortals, they gradually acquire various extraordinary senses: an eagle's vision, a bat's hearing, a spider's heat sensing, a cheetah's speed, and so on. One step further, they can master the biological currents generated within their bodies and gradually enter the realm of Electric Current Propulsion.
However, awkwardly, Ares, as a naturally born god, possessed a divine body whose power already surpassed all martial artists in the early stages of that world. His current vision was immeasurably superior to an eagle's, and his hearing was immeasurably keener than a bat's. Although he couldn't perceive heat, he could directly sense the fluctuations of energy like magic and divine power, making his abilities immeasurably stronger than those cultivated by others.
So, at the starting point, Ares found himself in difficulty. He didn't know how his body, which was already more powerful than a human's, could cultivate Electric Current Propulsion.
However, according to the method described, Electric Current Propulsion doesn't only rely on self-cultivation; other martial artists can also directly plant "electromagnetic seeds" in one's body to stimulate this power. Ares thought about it and then sought out his teacher, Hecate.
"What? You want me to electrocute you?"
Hecate looked at Ares in surprise:
"What kind of experiment are you doing? Is your mind alright?"
She thought for a moment, then took a step back, looking at Ares warily:
"You, by any chance, don't have some special fetish, do you?"
"No!" Ares explained, "I'm exploring a new power system, Teacher. Can you help me out?"
"A new power system?" Hecate's eyes lit up upon hearing this. She asked curiously, "What is it? A magic furnace? Or that 'Magic Circuit' you mentioned before?"
"Neither," Ares shook his head, "Anyway, if you help me with this, and I succeed, I'll also tell you the cultivation method for this system. How about that deal?"
Hecate considered for a moment, then nodded in satisfaction: "Alright."
Because Hecate was invited as an experimental partner, Ares's experiment location this time was set within Tree Palace. Hecate's palace was also a place that could conceal the gaze of Zeus, and even if Zeus saw it, it wouldn't matter. He wouldn't understand anyway. If he saw Hecate electrocuting Ares, he would probably only think that Hecate, the "terrifying witch," was coaxing her foolish son into being a test subject for some dangerous experiment.
The experiment began quickly. Because she needed to control the force, Hecate didn't use her full power at first. She used magic to summon fragments of Poseidon's authority. This Sea King could control storms; although not as powerful as his brother, he could also use the power of lightning to a certain extent.
After summoning the storm, Hecate used her superb magical skills to extract lightning from the storm like drawing silk, then flung these lightning bolts onto Ares's body.
Crack!
A lightning bolt as thick as a child's arm struck Ares's chest. As the current surged through his body, a reddish divine power also flashed across Ares's body. The aura of divine power swayed, and the God of War endured the lightning bolt without even batting an eyelid.
"How was it?"
Seeing Ares close his eyes and ponder for a moment, Hecate asked.
"Tsk, no defense penetration."
Ares opened his eyes with some frustration:
"It seems Poseidon's lightning isn't strong enough."
"Hmm, that's expected. You are Zeus's son; you should naturally have a certain degree of control and defense against lightning."
Hecate said, raising her hand:
"Then pay attention. Next is the genuine fragment of Zeus's authority, Zeus's lightning."
Accompanying the Moon Goddess's call, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly transformed into a vortex. Countless lightning bolts descended from the sky, gathering in Hecate's hand, transforming into a lightning spear made purely of thunder and lightning.
In terms of power, this lightning spear was immeasurably stronger than Poseidon's storm just now. Even if it couldn't compare to the divine lightning unleashed by Zeus himself, it was already enough to pose a threat to a main god.
To be able to freely manipulate the authorities of various gods to such an extent, Hecate indeed possessed the capital to be feared by Zeus.
After gripping the lightning spear, Hecate told Ares to get ready, then forcefully flung the lightning spear, whipping the dazzling thunderbolt like a long whip onto Ares's chest.
Boom!
The power of this strike was immense; even the sound of the lightning changed. Ares's automatically responding divine power barrier shattered like glass under this blow, and he himself flew backward, plunging into the doghouse where Cerberus lived, causing the demonic dog to let out a series of strange yelps.
A moment later, Ares, scorched all over and smelling of roasted meat, crawled out of the doghouse and returned to Hecate, giving her a thumbs up.
"Excellent, I can already feel the current surging through my body, but your last strike was too powerful. My mind went blank, and I couldn't seize the opportunity to continue the current. Adjust the power, and let's continue."
Seeing his performance, Hecate's research desire was also ignited. The Moon Goddess nodded enthusiastically, then raised her hand:
"Get ready, here I come again."
