Odin's Ambition

"Wa..."

The Nine Realms, Asgard.

With a blank expression, Heimdall heard screams coming from inside the Bifrost passage. Looking in the direction of the sound, three figures gradually appeared before him.

Hela, daughter of Odin, and two strangers.

One was a shirtless blond man; the other had a hideous, grotesque face and was panting heavily with his mouth open...

Clearly, the scream just now came from the figure who was currently panting heavily with his mouth open.

"I'm starting to think that bringing you to Asgard was a mistake." Hela glanced at The Other, who was still reeling from the aftereffects of the Bifrost, then swept her gaze over Beckett, standing proudly at the wide-open doorway like a hostess, reaching out her hand towards the bustling city below:

"What you see now is Asgard."

Beckett looked in the direction Hela pointed, and the architectural style, completely different from that of the Dark Order, immediately came into view.

Magnificent, grand, even spectacular.

As the most powerful nation in the Nine Realms, even amidst the chaos of war, the people of Asgard still wear smiles of happiness and hope.

"Not bad."

Beckett nodded noncommittally, then lost interest in continuing to admire the scene. He pressed his right hand against the silver bracelet on his left wrist and restarted Woz.

Inside the Bifrost Woz's database became chaotic for some reason. Just in case, Beckett shut down Woz, which he had almost never actively shut down since childhood.

"Woz is starting up..."

"Woz startup complete."

"Woz automatically activates the scanning function after detecting that you are in an unfamiliar environment."

"Woz is scanning... Woz scan failed. Your Highness His Highness Beckett, this unfamiliar place is very dangerous. Woz suggests that you leave this place as soon as possible."

Data flashed continuously in the azure eyes of the robotic cat projected back onto Beckett, but ultimately yielded nothing. The entirety of Asgard was enveloped in a protective shield composed of unknown energy, which Woz's current abilities were insufficient to overcome.

"It is not a good habit to search other people's territory without permission, Beckett."

A powerful voice echoed in Beckett's ears, alerting him. He recognized the voice; he had heard it before, back in the Jotunheim Royal Court.

Odin, the ruler of Asgard and the initiator of the War of the Nine Realms.

"Bring him here, Hela."

"Yes, Father."

Hela, who was bowing respectfully towards the Great Hall of Asgard, raised her eyes and looked at Beckett in front of her.

Recalling the information about Odin that he had seen in his adoptive father Thanos's database, Beckett, led by Hela, walked directly through the special passage of the Bifrost into Odin's palace. The imposing figure standing before the throne clearly came into Beckett's view.

Clad in pure gold armor and wielding a golden spear, as Beckett and The Other stood beneath the throne, the young and vigorous King of Asgard gazed up at the portrait of himself and his daughter leading their army to conquer the Nine Realms, his eyes filled with admiration.

As the current leader of the Asgardian, Odin, who possesses unparalleled power, has had a simple and unpretentious wish since his youth—to have Asgard reign supreme over the Nine Realms under his leadership.

In fact, Odin did just that when he took the throne from his father, and the war that has now spread to the entire Nine Realms was started by Odin all by himself.

Odin's powerful nation and formidable personal strength led to numerous victories for his Asgard expeditionary force, and Odin's name became renowned throughout the universe.

"Father."

Having completed her mission Hela knelt on one knee in greeting, and on her right hand, the azure Casket of Ancient Winters stood out conspicuously.

"Well done, Hela."

Odin turned around and smiled:

"This should be our second meeting. Welcome to Asgard, Beckett."

With his unhurried tone and smiling expression, Odin at this moment did not seem like a war-monger whose name resounded throughout the Nine Realms, but rather like a gentle middle-aged neighbor.

How are you feeling?

"Prosperous." Beckett looked at the man before him, his eyes filled with wariness.

In terms of sheer prosperity, Asgard is indeed far superior to the Dark Order. Unfortunately, Beckett had grown accustomed to the environment of the Dark Order, and the bustling Asgard held little appeal for him.

In the missions he's undertaken over the years, he's seen civilizations that Asgard or even surpassed Asgard in their prosperity.

"I will have someone prepare a warship to take you back. Until then, you can explore Asgard with Hela." Odin smiled, unconcerned by Beckett's wariness.

Because of Heimdall's presence, Odin naturally became aware of what was happening on U40 Planet.

Especially the increase in Beckett's strength.

"Of course, you'd better contact your father first." Odin's pointed words made Beckett was below the steps, frown.

Judging from Odin's tone, Beckett felt as if he had been observing all of Beckett's actions on U40 Planet.

And, father?

"Your His Highness Beckett, Woz has received a communication signal from Noctis."

Woz's voice echoed in the empty royal palace, and Odin, standing beside the throne, raised his hand to indicate that Beckett could leave first.

Of course, they left first, led by Hela.

"It is indeed the power of the Infinity Stones."

Odin had made up a reason to have his daughter bring Beckett over so he could personally verify the power within Beckett, watched Beckett's departing figure, his smile gradually fading.

"However, it's only a portion of the Infinity Stones' power; it's not complete..."

Odin's meeting with Thanos, the ruler of the Centaurus Galaxy, at the Jotunheim Royal Court gradually stirred his mind. Odin's appetite, which had already broadened with the war of the Nine Realms, was also growing. However, the Nine Realms, which were confined to a corner of the world, could no longer satisfy Odin and Asgard's growing power and ambition.

Beyond the Nine Realms, a larger and more expansive world awaits him.

"Thanos ..."

Skrull Empire, Third Administrative District.

Thanos, holding Great Blade, stood atop a pile of ruins, surveying the scorched earth beneath his feet with an expression as calm as still water.

"Lord Thanos, we have made contact with Beckett's Artificial Intelligence life form Woz."

Ebony Maw, having made a breakthrough in the situation, appeared before Thanos immediately, informing him that Beckett was still alive.

"Asgard, Odin?"

Thanos, then looked at the Skrull fleet that had appeared in the sky and waved his hand. "Connect the Skrull leader's communication channel."

Thanos, now that the Mind Stone is in his grasp, can sit down and have a proper talk with the Skrulls about the price they should pay.
