I'm going to have a fight with Superman

Chapter 147 Rebound damage, mind curse
Harry personally tested the "escape room technique" several times.

For example, she put her hands in shackles, and then put her fingers on the fire to roast. Pain and injury are the price paid in advance.

"Crack!" She saw with her own eyes that the shackles opened by themselves.

Try again, and test the third time according to Mrs. Shangdu's instructions
Finally, she felt that feeling.

I don't know if it's magic power, but the momentary surge gave her the illusion that she could do anything with it.

It is indeed an illusion to do anything, but the way of escape can indeed be chosen by oneself.

For example, the same handcuffs, after hurting herself again, Harley consciously did not open them, but her hands seemed to be blurred, letting the shackles pass through her wrists, and she gained freedom in another way.

"This magic is amazing."

Finally, it is no longer the "fake magic" of summoning and using demons.

For the first time today, Harley intuitively felt that "the essence of magic is a miracle".

After trying out the escape room several times, she frowned and said: "Escape room can only be used to break free from restraints, although it is useful, it is too simple.

Can you use the price of pain to do other things?For example, retaliate against the enemy? "

The enemy's attack helps her gain experience while providing her with magic power, and she then uses magic power to attack the enemy. Just thinking about it, it's so beautiful.

Mrs. Shangdu nodded and said: "Countless mages with ideals and wisdom are looking for a way to avoid the source of magic.

When they found that at the cost of harming their bodies, they could achieve the same effect as the source of magic, they were ecstatic, full of passion, and immediately started research.

The results are mixed, harming the body can indeed activate most magic.

But this method of casting spells is very simple.

To use a certain spell, one must first research the corresponding spell. "

"The secret room escape technique was Zatara's masterpiece 30 years ago, and now I don't know how many generations it has been improved.

But the most widely spread in the magic world is the dying curse.

The moment a 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 cast a terrifying curse on the caster.

The damage reflection you want is theoretically an offshoot of Dying Curse.

To achieve a certain effect, the corresponding spells must be researched in advance.

You can study Curse Retaliation and use curses as a means of attack.

You can also use fire to retaliate, using fire as a means of attack."

"By analogy, what kind of anti-injury effect you want, you have to master the corresponding spell before you get injured."

"Regular magic is too simple. At the cost of magic power, you can almost get what you want. For example, the Zatanna you have seen,
She uses irony magic and does what she says without any spells.

Of course, irony magic is also considered a top genre in the magic world, and most mages still have to use their own inherited spells. "

Mrs. Shangdu made it clear, and Harley understood that the idea of ​​"repaying the other with the same way" cannot be realized.

Attacks are varied and unpredictable, and it's not impossible or impossible for her.

She can learn from Murong Bo, collect martial arts from all over the world, and then invent the corresponding anti-injury spells.

"Aside from hurting the body, is there any other way to pay the price?" Harry asked curiously.

Mrs. Shangdu 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 of the human body.

That is to say, the universe we live in has been completely saturated by the magic power of the Supreme Being, and the uncorroded place is only our body itself.

We have nothing but our bodies.

Just like the mundane world, the common people under the chaebol regime are so barren that they only have their own bodies.

In order to fill their bellies and live a better life, they sell their bodies to superiors, either as laborers or simply as servants.

These obedient people are equivalent to orthodox mages in the magic world, such as me. "

When she said this, Mrs. Shangdu's expression was calm, without any humiliation or unwillingness.

"If you insist on refusing to sell your body, you just need to go under the bridge hole, curl up, and use your willpower to endure.

Naturally, you have to suffer physical pain.

In the magic world, that is, people who use 'price magic'. "

Then, Shang Du gave a weird smile and said, "Of course, there is no need to be so extreme in everything. There is a class between accepting the reality of being exploited and not pulling anything out.

In reality, they are called the Lying Ping family; in the magic world, they are "order believers".

Look at me, I have lived for more than 1000 years, and my magic power is not as good as that of the little girl Zatana.

And the magic I know has almost no large-scale attacks.

Most of the time, I only use divination that doesn't cost mana. "

"The hierarchy in the magic world is stricter than that in the real world." Harry sighed.

The superior disagreed and said: "Isn't this nonsense, how many years can a mortal live?

The supreme beings are born in the universe, they are born, the universe exists, 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.

Ordinary people can still make revolutions and break the solidified class.

The supreme being exerts great power on itself, the strong will always be strong, and always occupy a high position, what are you doing? "

Harry sighed, and said, "No wonder heaven, hell, and the supernatural world were all messed up when the giant beast came out.

The masses at the bottom want to take the opportunity to cause revolution!
Being oppressed is too painful and aggrieved.

Even knowing that the giant beast might be another dictator, he chose to turn a blind eye and anesthetize himself."

Mrs. Shangdu sneered: "They just want to gain greater benefits and a higher status in the new era by virtue of their support.

Renovating the past, creating a better new world, etc., are not considered at all.

Anyone who becomes the new ruler of the magic world will not be any different from his predecessors. "

Harry nodded, agreeing with her statement.

If she is a supreme existence like God, she will not leave any unowned magic power to future generations.

It's like "Papa Horses" who have become the richest people and shouted "996 is a blessing", don't they just want to squeeze the youngsters more cruelly?
Then, she frowned again: "Is there a genre of 'price magic' in the magic world?"

"No." Mrs. Shangdu sighed: "You just experienced it yourself, being stabbed hard by a knife for a long time, screaming in pain, and barely untied a rope.

If the miracle index of the escape room is 1, the mana consumption is 0.1, the price is paid by physical damage, and the pain index is 10.

Then the miracle index of releasing the fireball is 10, the mana consumption is 1, and the damage you suffer is ten times that of before, almost losing half your life.

The miracle index of time-space teleportation is 500, and the mana consumption is 5. Even if you lose your life, it is not enough to cast a teleportation technique once.

But the body of a mage is not much different from that of an ordinary person.

Even for magic warriors, their steel bodies must be maintained by magic power, not the strength of the body itself.

So, you get it?

With the mortal body of a mage, it simply cannot meet the huge demand for magic power to create miracles. "

With a twitch in his heart, Harry asked, "In addition to the earthlings, there are also aliens in the world.

If a certain alien race is particularly rough-skinned and thick-skinned, can it develop 'self-mutilation magic'? "

The boss said in disapproval: "How thick can it be? A large-scale magic is still seriously injured.

Unable to use 'price magic' as a regular means.

Unless he is not only physically strong enough, but also recovers from injuries instantly.

If so, he himself is a miracle, and a miracle is magic.

For example, magical creatures such as demons, angels, and alien life forms. "

Is Da Chao a magical creature?
Harry thought about it carefully, it stands to reason that it is not, but Dachao needs the light of the yellow sun
"Doctor Manhattan, and other supernatural beings, are they considered magical creatures?"

Everyone was not sure: "I think Manhattan is a high-dimensional life form, and it should also be considered a miracle creature, beyond the scope of magic.

I have also seen other supernatural beings, from Earth and from extraterrestrials, their powers are very interesting and single.

It may be a second way besides 'physical harm', or it may be a new toy of the Supreme Being.

But be sure, miracles either way, come at a price.

This is the supreme law of the universe and it will never change. "

Harry thought for a while, and said: "When using the escape room technique, the magic power doesn't come out bit by bit as the damage increases.

Instead, when the damage accumulated to a certain level, it was born suddenly, and transformed into a magic spell almost at the same time.

I want to ask, is it possible to keep that magic power and store it for later use when really needed? "

"Probably not."

"why?"

Shangdu said: "By injuring the body and avoiding the source of magic to use magic, this process has avoided magic.

To put it more bluntly, when using an escape room, you don't generate magic power at all.

That is the power of the universe rules that is higher than magic power.

Aren't we borrowing the 'magic has a price' rule? "

Harry thought for a moment, and said, "Ma'am, can you teach me the price magic?"

"If you really plan to go down this road, I suggest you go to Zaatara, he is an expert in the 'Curse of Price'." Mrs. Shangdu said seriously.

"Are you familiar with him? Can you introduce him?" Harry asked.

Mrs. Shangdu said with a dull face: "We used to be lovers, but we broke up and almost met each other in battle. After that, we haven't spoken to each other for decades."

Harry sighed and asked again, "Can you teach me a few spells first?"

"Besides the escape room that Zatara taught me 30 years ago, I know only one ancient curse.

Let me explain first, the curse technique is too old and the effect is not very good. "Shangdu said.

"Shouldn't the ancient magic be stronger?" Harry wondered.

"The ancient science is stronger than the current science?" Shangdu 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." Harry said strangely.

"Even if the gods retired, the inheritance of magic has not been cut off. Naturally, it has been optimized from generation to generation. Have you heard of Nick in Brooklyn?"

Harry said in surprise: "I have heard it several times, saying that he is the outstanding young generation of the extraordinary world."

"His level of magical power is very ordinary, and he only awakened in his 20s. But his magical creativity is amazing, and the old-timers including me are also amazed and admired."

Harry actually saw a little jealousy and envy on Shangdu's face.

"Hey, teach me the curse of retaliation. It's better to have something to eat than to go hungry." She said.

Shangdu is a nice person, not only gave the mantra for free, but also explained it carefully.

"The function is good, but the efficiency is a bit low." Harry frowned.

This "mind curse" anti-injury curse mainly attacks the enemy's brain.

Very awesome.

However, the effect is too poor, even if he is killed by the enemy, it can only give him the same migraine as Cao Cao.

Shangdu also admitted: "The head curse only has a 0.1% anti-injury effect, which is relatively low-level among curses. The only advantage is that it targets the head."

Harry asked, "How strong is the most effective anti-wound spell?"

"700%!"

"Omika, which magic master invented it?" Harry 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, Cain the eldest and Abel the second.

Cain was a farmer and Abel was a herdsman. They both believed in God devoutly.

Cain offered the whole grains to God, but God did not look at them; Abel offered the slaughtered lamb, and God was pleased.

Cain refused to obey and killed his brother Abel.

Then God gave Cain a "curse": whoever hurts Cain will be rewarded sevenfold.

"About seven times the damage is the limit, but unfortunately no one knows how God did it. The mage has studied for tens of thousands of years, and the highest damage is no more than 10%." Shangdu said.

"Myra also said in the Bible that if you kill him, you will be rewarded 77 times." Halle said.

"Myra's bragging, and God's not talking to him."

Harry fell into deep thought, should he ask God to exchange for the "punishment" of seven times reward?
