## I have made some AU changes regarding Mahoraga and Ethan partially Summoning.
----------------------------------------------------------
Three Years Later:
Ethan had traversed the globe in years past, primarily for the purpose of curse hunting. However, since the pivotal date of May 2nd, 2008, his focus shifted toward dismantling a different kind of prey: the clandestine organization known as HYDRA.
Ethan was intimately aware of the HYDRA hierarchy. He knew of their current impromptu leader, Alexander Pierce, and he held a particular focus on the head that all others feared—Gideon Malick. As a formidable businessman, billionaire, and political titan, Malick rose to prominence as the primary HYDRA head once the organization emerged from the shadows.
Yet, Malick's true endgame diverged from that of his peers. Raised by his father to fulfill HYDRA's ancient mandate, Malick was dedicated to the return of Hive to Earth through ritual sacrifice. Hive, also known as Alveus, was a parasitic Inhuman capable of infesting human corpses and subjugating other Inhumans via a collective hive mind. Due to his terrifying potential, Alveus had been banished to a desolate planet, remaining trapped for centuries.
Ethan targeted Malick first precisely because of his global visibility; while other leaders retreated into the darkness, Malick preferred the "hiding in plain sight" approach.
Tora, invisible to the eyes of ordinary men, infiltrated the Malick estate under the cover of night. Once inside, he cast an advanced version of the Images of Ikonn. This high-level illusion spell—famously used by the future Doctor Strange to create auditory and physical duplicates against Thanos—is merely the tip of the iceberg.
It also allows the caster to pierce an opponent's mind if they lack mental protection, manifesting illusions of loved ones to extract secrets.
Through this psychic extraction, they uncovered thousands of hidden HYDRA bases and identified their various leaders across the globe.
Over the last three years, Ethan's campaign against Hydra has been relentless, so much so that HYDRA was effectively severed down to its final head: Alexander Pierce.
As for Malick? After Tora stripped him of every secret, he finished the job, eliminating Gideon that very same night. During this crusade, Ethan's own strength expanded exponentially, his powers reaching a new level after finally taming the Divine General.
Once the wheel above Ethan spins, he gains the benefits of adaptation, just as he bears its burden. This mirrors how Mahoraga adapted to the Unlimited Void while the wheel was on Sukuna, allowing him to navigate Gojo's domain freely.
Over the last three years, Mahoraga and Ethan have completely adapted to the following and many more:
The Mirror Dimension: They can no longer be trapped in seals or prisons based on this dimension.
Sling Ring Portals: They cannot be forcefully transferred through portals. Following his adaptation, Mahoraga developed a unique model for teleportation: cutting through space itself using the Sword of Extermination.
Tao Mandalas: These circular defensive shields, once capable of stopping blows from Special Grades, are now sliced through like parchment.
Eldritch Constructs: They are now immune to the yellow-orange energy used to create weapons, shields, and whips that typically harm Special Grades.
Crimson Bands of Cyttorak: The red binding energy drawn from the Cyttorak dimension could no longer hold them.
Shield of the Seraphim: These scalable barriers, designed to block ultimate techniques, can no longer stop their simple attacks.
Icy Tendrils of Ikthalon: These can no longer freeze them, as they have fully adapted to temperatures up to absolute zero.
Flames of the Faltine: This magical fire—used for offense, defense, and banishment—has lost all effectiveness against them. Though magical in nature, Mahoraga has adapted to extreme heat. Fire-based attacks no longer harm them, magical or otherwise.
Winds of Watoomb: Gusts powerful enough to disperse an EF5 tornado lost effect against Ethan during the Myanmar incident.
Sonic Attacks: They have developed a complete immunity to high-level sonic weaponry and spells.
Chaos Magic: Any attack using this magic loses its potency against them.
Images of Ikonn: Highly realistic illusions that fool even seasoned sorcerers no longer have any effect; and not just this spell, illusions in general won't affect their perception.
Mist of Morpheus: They cannot be paralyzed or put to sleep by this mist.
Astral Projection: Their souls are untouchable. This was actually the first phenomenon Ethan had Mahoraga adapt to after the May 2nd incident. Spells designed to separate the soul from the physical body are entirely ineffective.
Physical Trauma: Attacks involving slicing, severing, or piercing no longer affect them. In fact, these physical phenomena were the easiest for them to adapt to.
Nuclear Radiation: They have adapted to the residual radiation emitting from Chernobyl during their travels.
Ethan had reached a parity with the Divine General. He existed in a state of functional immortality; he still aged, but unless an opponent could vaporize him in a single, overwhelming strike—a "one-shot" capable of destroying every cell before the wheel could turn—Ethan simply could not be killed.
To refine Mahoraga's adaptation, Ethan had entered into a Binding Vow to push him past its natural limits.
The Binding Vow:
The Restriction: Ethan voluntarily limits his Cursed Energy (CE) output to 80% of his maximum capacity.
The Exchange: In return for this self-imposed handicap, Mahoraga's adaptation speed is increased threefold.
This 80% restriction remains active only while the "analysis" phase of a phenomenon is ongoing. The moment the wheel completes its turn and the adaptation is finalized, Ethan's CE output surges back to 100%, allowing him to counter-attack with his full power.
Adaptation begins the moment Ethan or Mahoraga receives an "attack." This initiates a deep-dive analysis of the phenomenon. Under the Binding Vow, the time required for the wheel to click is slashed to one-third.
Furthermore, if Ethan is struck by an identical attack during this calculation period, the adaptation process accelerates exponentially.
Most dangerously, Ethan's adaptation is proactive and infinite. It does not stop once a resistance is formed; it continues to optimize after it has left the "analysis" phase.
"Attack" is a broad term—it includes hostile environments like the crushing depths of the ocean, the vacuum of outer space, or even biological "attacks" like stage-four cancer and cellular decay that standard Reverse Cursed Technique (RCT) cannot heal.
Ethan had achieved a highest feat of healing by summoning a specialized Chimera Samsara—a fusion of Mahoraga, The Round Deer, and Rabbit Escape. The chimera looked like a doe. This entity was not bred for the frontlines, but for the sanctity of life. It combined:
Mahoraga's Adaptation: To give a model for the "blueprint" of a healthy human body and soul.
Round Deer's RCT Output: To flood a patient with positive energy to reinforce that model.
Rabbit Escape's Duplication: To allow the healing process to occur across hundreds of targets simultaneously.
Ethan had spent a significant portion of his three years using this Chimera to alter the biological blueprints of children and the terminally ill, severing the roots of diseases that modern medicine deemed "incurable."
Ethan understood the grim reality of Seth's possession. In his eyes, possession—no matter how potent the spirit—was merely another phenomenon to be severed.
But once severed Ethan theoriesed that Seth wouldn't survive without his soul being healed via Mahito's corruption.
Samsara could heal damage done to the soul too.
He knew that the next time he crossed paths with Mahito, it would be the Curse's final moments.
While Mahito, now inhabiting Seth's body, could theoretically use Idle Transfiguration on Ethan, the defense was already absolute. Even before taming the Divine General, Ethan could see an instinctual "outline" of his own soul and thus protect it.
Now, with Mahoraga's adaptation, any attempt at Astral Projection or soul-based attacks are negated against him.
Ethan was currently operating in Europe, systematically dismantling the remnants of a human trafficking ring formerly led by the late Baron Strucker.
His Divine Dogs, Kuro and Shiro, had already personally torn the life from Strucker, but a rival syndicate had quickly moved to fill the power vacuum. He had just neutralized the final gang member—leaving the leader with a shattered jaw and a fractured skull—and placed an anonymous tip to the local authorities.
But as the sirens wailed in the distance, Ethan felt a mental tug.
One of his Simple Domain Kunai, imbued with a Rabbit Escape shikigami, had been deployed. He had only given these to a select few, and they were keyed to the specific soul resonance of the holder.
"Puente Antiguo, New Mexico," Ethan muttered, checking the coordinates and the date on his phone. It had to be Phil Coulson. If the Kunai was being used there, it meant the timeline had arrived: Thor had been banished to Earth.
Using Shadow Manipulation, Ethan vanished from the blood-stained room in Europe and stepped through the shadows into the desert heat of New Mexico, only to find himself staring directly into the glowing, pre-charged faceplate of the Destroyer armor.
"Did he seriously throw the Kunai into the line of fire?" Ethan thought, his eyes widening. A heartbeat later, a beam of concentrated Odinforce erupted from the Destroyer. "Ah... shit," Ethan managed to exhale before being blasted away.
The eyes of everyone present—the Warriors Three, Thor, Jane Foster, and her fellow scientists—tracked Ethan as he was hurled like a projectile into an old Mexican home. The impact leveled the front of the structure, sending a thick shroud of dust and splintered debris into the desert air.
Click.
Beneath the rubble, the Eight-Handled Wheel had completed its first rotation. Ethan Park had started adapting to Odinforce.
