Who knew how many years the Bright Realm Dimension had existed in the Marvel World to give birth to him?
But Huang Yun knew he couldn't rush these things.
Armor Beasts born naturally were the strongest.
Too much interference could end up doing more harm than good.
But now that the egg of the Emperor Dragon of Light had appeared, that meant it would definitely hatch.
It was only a matter of time.
"You're giving me more work."
"I'll have to slack off less from now on."
Back in the Bright Realm, Huang Yun finally remembered what he'd forgotten.
The Space Gem!
He'd originally gone to Asgard to analyze it.
But the civil war and death in Asgard had distracted him, and he'd forgotten.
Besides, he needed the Space Gem to separate the Pocket Dimension, so the Bright Realm Dimension could devour it and grow.
Looking at the Emperor Dragon of Light's egg, Huang Yun decided he'd better get moving.
He then left the Bright Realm Dimension.
He returned to Asgard.
"Hmm? What happened to you?"
Huang Yun pretended not to know anything as he looked at the dejected Odin.
"My lord..."
It wasn't until Huang Yun spoke that Odin realized someone was standing before him.
"You'd better stay seated. How did you end up like this?"
Though he had already subdued Hela, Huang Yun had no plans to turn against Odin.
After all, if Valhalla was to become a fighting force in the future, he couldn't let Odin get in the way.
"Ah, Hela rebelled, and Baldur fell..."
After a thousand years apart, Odin told Huang Yun many things.
"What am I supposed to say to you?"
"You saw it all coming, yet you still didn't change anything. Is that the pride of a king of the gods?"
Huang Yun didn't hold back.
Odin's face darkened as he listened.
"Enough of that. Is there something you need in Asgard?"
Forcing himself to perk up, Odin asked.
"I'd like to borrow the Tesseract, the Space Gem. I can't say when I'll return it. In exchange, I can offer Asgard my protection."
Huang Yun stated his purpose plainly.
"Agreed."
Odin accepted the deal.
The king who had once been so proud had lost his ambition after the double blow of what had happened to his children.
He only wanted to spend the rest of his life in peace.
"Good..."
Seeing Odin's state, Huang Yun was pleased.
A king who had lost his ambition could be controlled now, couldn't he?
When Odin eventually learned that Huang Yun had saved his daughter, would he be deeply grateful?
Asgard was practically in Huang Yun's hands now.
Before Hela's rebellion, Odin would never have accepted Huang Yun's protection.
Did Odin not understand what accepting Huang Yun's protection meant?
He understood everything.
He simply no longer believed he could change the future of Ragnarok.
He had seen the future and done his best to change it, but the result had been a complete mess.
Besides, in those visions, Thor wasn't exactly an exceptional ruler.
Just now, while Huang Yun was speaking,
Odin, lost in visions of the future, suddenly saw a moment when fate had been turned aside.
It was only for an instant.
But he had truly seen it.
Ragnarok had not come to Asgard.
Asgard remained powerful, standing at the peak of the universe.
But its leader was someone he could hardly believe.
It was Hela.
Before her stood a majestic figure clad in golden armor, riding a golden divine dragon.
Odin's instincts told him that it was Huang Yun.
For just that brief instant, the vision had appeared. Then it had returned to Ragnarok.
Odin understood. Fate was warning him.
The choice you make next concerns the fate of all the people of Asgard.
Will it be glory, or an end?
It all depends on this one choice.
That was why Odin had agreed to Huang Yun's protection without hesitation.
As king, he was proud, but he also cared for his people.
Since he couldn't lead them to glory himself,
he could give them a home where they could live in peace and prosperity, and let someone more capable lead them.
After agreeing to Huang Yun's protection,
Odin felt lighter than ever before.
It was as if the shackles around his heart had come undone.
It was as if the fate weighing on him had changed.
That feeling only strengthened his belief that he had made the right choice.
Asgard would not face Ragnarok. It would become more glorious than ever.
"My lord, here is the Space Gem."
Once they had made their deal, Odin handed the Space Gem to Huang Yun.
"Good. It's a deal."
Huang Yun smiled happily.
He'd come away with plenty.
"But I should make this clear."
"I can offer protection, but I won't step in unless Asgard faces a threat of annihilation. You understand why."
In the blink of an eye, Huang Yun had finished analyzing the Space Gem. He turned to Odin and spoke.
"Of course. Thank you for your consideration. The people of Asgard will continue to rely on their own strength."
Odin understood what Huang Yun meant.
He would protect them, but they shouldn't come running to him over every little thing. He had neither the time nor the inclination.
They should handle minor matters themselves.
Odin also knew that to earn a place under Huang Yun, they needed strength. Asgard couldn't afford to be weak.
So he wouldn't go to Huang Yun over every little thing.
Though he had suffered several blows and agreed to Huang Yun's protection,
he was still the king of the gods of Asgard, and he had his pride...
