I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Depp felt it was a bit too little, but he didn't say much. He figured if he couldn't beat them, he could just go back and study the books himself.

After flipping through a few pages, Depp chose a simple yet practical magic spell.

phantom.

“Are you sure you want to learn illusion?” Frigga asked.

Depp nodded, placed the heavy magic book on the table, and said, "Yes, I think you can begin the lesson now."

Then Frigga said, "Child, let me demonstrate first, and you can watch carefully."

Chapter 195 Departure: Heading into the Dark World!

No sooner had Frigga finished speaking than Depp was astonished to find that the woman in front of him had transformed into Loki without warning.

Then, Frigga transformed into Thor, Heimdall, and even Odin once again.

In the end, Frigga simply vanished from the spot.

The illusion magic displayed by this Queen of Asgard, Loki's magic teacher, has reached a level of unparalleled mastery, allowing her to create illusions at will.

This is also why she was able to create the illusion of Jane Foster and deceive Malekith.

Depp felt that even his improved Mysterio virtual reality technology was no match for Frigga's illusions.

To be honest, the main reason Depp still uses the armor, besides the fact that his own flying speed isn't fast enough, is because only the virtual projector on the armor can create illusions.

If I learn a more realistic and convenient illusion technique, I might never have to wear that armor that restricts my mobility again.

“This is truly amazing, madam.” Depp glanced again at the section on illusion magic in the spellbook and said, “I can’t wait for you to explain the essentials of illusion magic to me.”

Seeing Depp's sweet talk and eagerness to learn, Frigga, who had returned to her original appearance, couldn't help but laugh. She said, "The core of illusion magic is observation. Only by remembering as many details as possible can you perfectly recreate the illusion you want to create."

Next, Frigga carefully explained to Depp how to use illusion magic, as well as some key points about the spell.

After explaining, Frigga said, "You can try practicing first. You've just started learning, so there are many parts you might not be familiar with yet. But don't be discouraged. Even Loki took three days to fully master illusion magic."

As for Thor, Frigga didn't mention him much, because that guy's talent in witchcraft was really too poor.

Depp pondered carefully, mentally simulating the illusion technique that Frigga had just taught him.

So-called witchcraft and magic are the process of breaking down one's own energy and even the energy of the surrounding environment into their most primitive state and then reconstructing it.

Therefore, Depp is now deconstructing and reconstructing the surgical model taught by Frigga step by step in his mind.

Seeing this, Frigga didn't say anything, but sat there quietly watching Depp.

She knew that this child was not like most mages and wizards, who simply used the magic they had learned in a step-by-step manner.

Instead, they are actively trying to understand and think about the techniques they teach, breaking them down and recombining them in order to fully understand their structure and principles.

This is actually quite rare. Generally speaking, people with this kind of talent have the potential to become a super mage.

For example, the Ancient One, Loki, the future Doctor Strange, and the present Stephen Strange.

Five minutes later, Depp opened his eyes.

Just as Frigga was about to speak, she was surprised to find that Depp had disappeared.

They completely vanished from his sight, and he couldn't find even the slightest trace of them!

"He actually mastered illusion magic in such a short time!"

Frigga was quite surprised, considering that only a few minutes had passed since she finished explaining.

Before this, the most talented sorcerer Frigga had ever met was Loki.

Even Loki took more than three days to fully master illusion magic!

At this moment, Frigga couldn't help but wonder what kind of powerful and terrifying existence this young man named Depp would become in the future.

Perhaps... he might be even more powerful than Thor or even Odin.

However, after recalling Depp's actions and his numerous rescues of Thor and herself, Frigga breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, this child is from our area!

But... it's been so long, why hasn't he shown up yet?

Did they just leave?

This child doesn't seem like such a rude person!

Could it be...?

Frigga suddenly thought of something and covered her mouth, chuckling.

"It seems I forgot to teach him how to dispel illusions. Perhaps this child is sitting across from me right now, struggling with how to dispel the illusion and reveal himself!"

Just as Frigga covered her mouth and laughed, the door creaked open.

Fully armed, Odin entered Frigga's bedchamber, carrying the incomparably powerful Gungnir.

"Frigga, where are Thor and the others?"

Odin's voice is majestic and imposing.

Clearly, his anger stemming from Thor's reckless suggestion had not subsided.

Frigga did not answer immediately; she looked up, her eyes gleaming.

She immediately suspected that the Odin in front of her was an illusion created by Depp.

However, after careful observation, Frigga abandoned this guess.

Because there was absolutely nothing suspicious about Odin in front of him.

Frigga was certain that even if she used illusion magic, she couldn't achieve that level of detail.

So, let alone Depp, who had just learned illusion magic.

However, just as Frigga was about to answer, Odin before her gradually dissipated and turned into nothingness.

At the same time, Depp reappeared opposite Frigga.

"this...?!"

Frigga pointed to the spot where Odin had vanished, staring at Depp in shock.

Depp smiled and said:

"I'm sorry, madam. I was just trying to see if my illusion magic could reach this level."

“I think... if I can fool you, then I can certainly fool the other Asgardians, even Odin.”

Frigga shook her head blankly, seemingly trying to pull herself out of her shock and organize her thoughts to respond to Depp's words.

“This is truly incredible. You are the most talented mage I have ever seen.” Frigga said, Loki’s image flashing through her mind, before she firmly stated, “Without a doubt!”

"Thank you for the compliment. I might just be... particularly suited to illusion magic," Depp said modestly, but that was indeed his true feeling.

Although aside from the system, his strongest combat talent is indeed in magic.

But to be able to master illusion magic so quickly and create illusions that could fool Frigga.

The most important reason is that he possesses Jarvis-level computing power.

In Super Brain Mode, one's computing power is maximized.

Whether it's the construction of the spell's structure or the control over the details of the illusion when using illusion magic, it has reached an abnormally perfect level.

This is why Depp was able to master illusion magic so quickly and use it to perfection.

Seeing how quickly Depp mastered illusion magic, Frigga said, "Now I think I can teach you more magic."

Depp said, "As for the rest of the magic, it depends on what you want to teach me, madam. The magic book you gave me is too thick; my eyes are already blurry from reading it."

Frigga laughed and said, "Haha, you're quite an interesting child. In that case, I'll teach you Transfiguration and Hypnosis. These two spells can complement your control abilities. Thor mentioned that you also possess the power to control lightning, so I think you shouldn't lack offensive skills."

Upon hearing this, Depp immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, saying, "That's right, I need these support spells that can play a huge role right now. You are so prescient!"

Twenty minutes later, Depp, having fully mastered Transfiguration and hypnosis, walked out of Frigga's bedroom with a look of delight on his face.

Frigga followed behind him, standing by the door, and asked, "Really...don't you want to learn a few more moves?"

It must be said that anyone facing such an outstanding student would be reluctant to let him go, and would only want to impart as much of their knowledge to him as possible.

Hearing what Frigga said, Depp was indeed somewhat tempted.

After all, opportunities to receive hands-on instruction from a master magician are rare.

Although the Ancient One would teach him magic, she would never teach him new magic continuously; she would usually teach him again after several months.

However, considering that his Marvel travel time was running out, Depp declined again, saying, "Ms. Frigga, although I would love to continue learning from you, I think I need to spend some time consolidating the magic I just learned before learning new spells."

Upon hearing this, Frigga said somewhat dejectedly, "Alright, I'll continue teaching you when you get back."

After saying that, Frigga took out her usual short magic wand from her bosom, chanted a spell, and four golden rays of light flew out from the tip of the wand and entered the bodies of Depp and the others.

“This divine light spell can help you withstand one fatal blow, but I hope you won’t need it.” Frigga looked at Thor and Loki behind Depp and said, “Come back safely, and don’t make me and your father sad.”

Thor nodded heavily upon hearing this and said, "We will have a mother, and I will definitely eliminate the Aether and Malekith together!"

"Don't worry, Mother, I will protect Thor and the others." Loki's eyes were moist. He knew this journey to the Dark World would be extremely dangerous, but he and Thor had no choice but to go.

After all, their father Odin needed to stay in Asgard and couldn't go with them, otherwise they could easily fall into the enemy's trap of luring them away from their stronghold.

Depp nodded and said to the magic teacher, "Don't worry, teacher, whether I succeed or not, I will bring everyone back safely."

After a brief farewell, the group didn't linger any longer.

They headed to the Asgardian ship's docking point, intending to sneak one away first.

Then Loki led them to a secret passage leading to the Dark World.

At the Asgardian spaceship docking base, the group quickly locked onto their target.

This is a combat spaceship that is entirely black and resembles a shuttle.

This is not an Asgardian-style warship; on the contrary, it is a warship with distinct dark elf elements.

Their reason for choosing this ship was simple: it came from the Dark Elf race, and sailing to the Dark World in it would make the journey much safer.

After locating the target spaceship, Depp used illusion magic to disguise himself as Odin and led everyone over openly.

Beside him, Thor and Loki stood with serious expressions, not daring to utter a single word.
