Odin waved his hand casually, and the Casket of Ancient Winters flew directly in front of Charlotte.
Charlotte didn't stand on ceremony when she saw the Casket of Ancient Winters flying towards her; she simply took it in her hand.
At this moment, Odin spoke up, "The Casket of Ancient Winters is Artifact of the Frost Giant. Those who use it must have a high level of ice resistance, otherwise they will harm themselves before they can harm their enemies."
Upon hearing Odin's words, Charlotte recalled that when Loki used the Casket of Ancient Winters, the cold caused his hands and even his face to revert to the appearance of Frost Giant. It seems that for the user, it is difficult to unleash its full power unless they are of the ice element.
However, Charlotte smiled slightly, "That's not a problem!"
The next second, an ice wall appeared directly in front of Charlotte; it was the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals.
Seeing Charlotte's instantaneous ice magic, Odin's expression remained unchanged, but he was inwardly surprised. Just how many elemental attributes did Merlin's chosen Inheritors possess? Why was he so different from any other Mystic Arts Sorcerer or Mage he knew? What exactly is Chakra?
Odin had clearly learned about the name "Chakra" through Heimdall, but he didn't know the specifics, only that it was a new type of energy with considerable power.
Moreover, the other party's growth was too rapid. Only a short time had passed since he first met the other party, and the energy he possessed had more than doubled, making its value astonishing.
At the same time, he admired Merlin. No wonder he changed his choice and handed the position to the person in front of him instead of his own descendant.
Odin then thought of his successor, Thor Odinson. Although he had been working much harder recently, and his exile and suppression of the rebellion had made him more composed and his strength had improved slightly, he still hadn't awakened his bloodline power, and the Power of Thor was still nowhere to be seen, which made him somewhat disappointed.
"Since you have such a high level of skill in ice magic, I feel much more at ease."
"If the Casket of Ancient Winters is used unleashed, its maximum power can freeze a planet. I hope you will use it wisely."
Although Charlotte's energy level at this moment was so high that even if she drained all her Chakra, she couldn't unleash such power, it didn't stop Odin from giving her such a warning. After all, Charlotte was only in her early twenties and had unlimited potential for the future.
As Merlin's successor and the first Prime Merlinian, Odin had no concern about Merlin's lifespan; the Merlin lineage was not like the short-lived race of Kamar-Taj.
Charlotte nodded. "Rest assured, God King, I will make good use of it."
With a wave of her hand, Charlotte put it into her Storage Space. As for how to use it, of course, she would use it to recharge her account and turn it into resources to improve her strength.
Having dealt with the Casket of Ancient Winters, Charlotte then turned her attention to the next pacification mission: "God King, which realm do we need to pacify next? When will it begin?"
Odin shook his head regretfully, then said, "Are there any realms that need to be pacified for the time being?"
Charlotte asked in surprise, "Why?"
"Because the speed at which the last rebellion was quelled shocked the other realms, their restless hearts were suppressed."
Charlotte recalled the nine realms. Apart from Asgard and Midgard, there were seven remaining. Nidavellir, controlled by the Dwarves, was an ally of Asgard, while the Dark Elf of Svartalfheim were asleep, not appearing in the world until the Reality Stone appeared.
Alfheim, the kingdom of the Light Elves, is inhabited by a group of peace-loving Light Elves who are unlikely to rebel. Meanwhile, the Fire Giant of Muspelheim await Ragnarok; they will not attack Asgard until they obtain the Eternal Fire, waiting for their opportune moment.
Now, all that remains are the Vanir of Vanaheim, a restless heart, and the Helheim, which seals Hela away.
After some thought, Charlotte realized that there were only two realms left. In the original Thor: The Dark World, after the events of the Avengers, Thor used the repaired Bifrost to reach Vanaheim and quell the rebellion there.
As for Helheim, it's a bit dangerous there. If a rebellion breaks out, Odin will definitely have it suppressed immediately.
After thinking for a moment, Charlotte said, "If you have any more mission requests, please contact me then. I won't bother you any longer."
However, Charlotte, seeing that she had no mission requests, prepared to take her leave. Odin nodded. "If there are any mission requests, I will contact you."
"Then I'll head back to Earth first!"
Charlotte then used Merlin's Formation to leave Asgard.
Watching Charlotte leave, Odin knew his days were numbered and he would most likely be unable to withstand the next Odin Sleep. If he did not take action during this period, he could live a little longer, but engaging in combat would only hasten his death.
The ever-increasing Odinforce was becoming unbearable for his divine body, and Hela from the Helheim was constantly attacking the barrier. If he left, Hela would surely break free, and with Thor's strength, he would likely be no match for her.
And those restless Vanir in Vanaheim —Kenlaid needs to find an opportunity to lure them out, and while he's still here, have Thor eliminate them and quell these troubles.
As for the so-called Ragnarok, Odin could only try to avoid that day, and he had no idea how this calamity would unfold.
Just then, Thor ran in and shouted:
"Father, I heard that the Mage Charlotte has arrived!"
When Thor entered, he didn't see Charlotte and assumed she had gone to Odin's Vault to choose something. He knew the price he had to pay for asking Charlotte to help.
"Did he go to choose treasures?"
"We're having a three-day celebration banquet next, and I want to invite him to attend."
Seeing Thor rush in, Odin narrowed his eyes slightly before saying, "The mage Charlotte has returned to Midgard."
Thor was taken aback, not expecting the other person to leave so quickly, then said with some regret, "Why did you leave so soon?"
"I'd also like to invite him to taste some Asgard wine!"
Odin smiled and said, "There will be an opportunity."
······
On the other side.
Earth.
Over the course of a month, Eddie Block recovered from his initial frustration and prepared to get back to work, only to find that he couldn't find any jobs related to his profession.
During that month, he submitted his resume to various news media and television stations, but without exception, he was rejected by all of them. Even when he asked for a part-time job under a pseudonym, no one was willing to give him such an opportunity.
With his various installment bills due this month, Eddie's savings wouldn't be a problem for the next few months, but if he were indeed blacklisted as he suspected, he would face bankruptcy and various overdue bills.
Even finding a job might only be as a dishwasher, and the thought of this made Eddie furious.
At that moment, the neighbor across the hall started playing heavy metal music, and the ferocious sound drove Eddie crazy. He lay on the bed and covered his head with a pillow, hoping to reduce the decibel level of the noise.
Tormented by the metallic noise, Eddie couldn't stay in the room any longer. He opened the door and headed downstairs to the pub not far away.
Once inside the bar, Eddie ordered a whiskey and sat down at the bar to drink.
At that moment, the television hanging above the right side of the bar started broadcasting a financial news report.
A financial expert stated, "In the month since the Life Foundation's Life 1 spacecraft crashed, its stock price has fallen by 13%, wiping out nearly $3 billion in market value."
"Currently, the Life Foundation's main source of funding is the pharmaceutical industry, which is embroiled in drug trial scandals, significantly impacting it. If this lawsuit is lost, it will have to pay a staggering $130 million in compensation to the families of thirty deceased patients."
"Several Wall Street institutions have downgraded the Life Foundation's rating from 'strongly recommend holding' to 'not recommending buying'."
Eddie watched the news on TV, and his previously depressed mood improved considerably. A smile spread across his face as he said, "Serves you right, you fell and died."
Looking at the news of the lawsuit above, he said with some annoyance, "Damn it, which bastard used my idea?"
"I should have been the one to expose them."
Jack, the bartender, chuckled and said, "Eddie, even if his stock price drops by thirteen percent, he's still a behemoth worth nearly 20 billion."
"I heard you're in such a terrible state because of him."
"What?"
"You found out about all of this."
Eddie looked at the bartender Jack with an incredulous expression.
Jack laughed, "Last time you were drunk, you were complaining about this guy to me."
Eddie looked embarrassed, picked up the glass on the table, downed the whiskey in one gulp, and then took a five-dollar bill from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"Jack, this is your spending. I hope you don't spend it all too soon. I'm going home to enjoy some quality time with myself. Goodbye."
After saying that, Eddie left the bar and walked out onto the street.
After picking up a free newspaper from a street vendor and buying some food from a convenience store, he returned to his Shule Apartment.
The heavy metal music from across the hall had stopped by then, which relieved Eddie.
Sitting by the window, Eddie glanced at his flowers, which had completely withered, and felt somewhat depressed.
He took out his phone and sent a message to his former boss.
Hey buddy, any job recommendations? Any news?
Seeing that the Life Foundation was having a tough time lately, Eddie wanted to test whether his ban had been lifted.
He received a reply quickly, but the message was very disappointing.
"Sorry, Eddie, there's nothing suitable for you at the moment."
Upon seeing this message, Eddie was quite frustrated. Although the other party was in a mess, it would still be easy for them to crush a journalist like him before they went bankrupt.
Why aren't there any superheroes to fight back against such Blackheart companies?
Wait, superheroes.
Eddie's eyes lit up as he recalled the olive branch extended to him by Charlotte Doyle, the God of Ninjas, during his interview with her.
The other party invited him to work for their news media company, and Eddie immediately started looking for the other party's Business Card, remembering that he had kept Business Card.
After rummaging through drawers and cabinets, Eddie finally found the business Business Card tucked inside a book in a notebook.
Eddie initially thought the Business Card was quite pretty, so he used it as a bookmark. The back of the Business Card featured a Konoha Ninja symbol, while the front simply stated Charlotte Doyle's name and his contact number.
After taking out the Business Card, Eddie dialed the number on it.
Charlotte had already returned to the base and had just tested the power of the Casket of Ancient Winters in the Training Room. It worked very well when used in conjunction with Ice Style, instantly freezing the entire Training Room.
At that moment, Red Queen's voice suddenly rang out in the Training Room.
"Master, you have received a call. According to the inquiry, the caller is Eddie Brock."
Upon hearing that it was Venom Eddie Brock on the phone, Charlotte said, "Bring him in!"
Charlotte retrieved the Casket of Ancient Winters and went to the computer equipment in the corner of the Training Room. A virtual screen appeared in front of her, showing Eddie Brock.
"Mr. Charlotte Doyle, I am Eddie Block. Do you remember me?"
Looking at Eddie on the virtual screen, his hair was a bit greasy and his face was covered in stubble, so he didn't seem to be doing too well lately.
Eddie was clearly unaware that the camera on his phone had been turned on at some point.
"I remember you, Eddie Bullock, reporter."
"So, have you made up your mind?"
"You're willing to come work for me?"
Eddie breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Charlotte Doyle remembered him and had extended another job offer.
"Sir, I would very much like to work for one of your companies."
"But there's something I need to tell you beforehand: I've offended a San Francisco -based company called the Life Foundation."
"They are blacklisting me across the entire industry. I wonder if this will affect you."
Hearing Eddie's words, Charlotte laughed and said, "Eddie, don't worry, he won't affect me."
"I'll have someone send you an offer letter later. Just go there and report for duty."
Eddie said, touched, "Thank you, Mr. Charlotte!"
"At this point, you're the only one still willing to take me in."
Seeing Eddie's moved expression, Charlotte smiled slightly and said gently, "Let's leave it at that for now, I have other things to attend to."
Also, I wish you a pleasant work experience in advance!
Charlotte then hung up the phone and instructed Red Queen, "Red Queen, tell Ginny to have her news media company send Eddie Brock an offer."
"As for his position, we'll just assign him to the same job he did before."
"Yes, Master!"
Red Queen instructions, Charlotte continued her study of the Casket of Ancient Winters.
