Thor's Training Plan!

As Alvin had predicted, things turned out differently.

The thick dark clouds that had been hanging in the night sky seemed to hesitate for a few seconds after hearing those words before slowly dissipating.

This also confirmed his suspicions.

As expected, that old fellow Odin hadn't fallen into a deep sleep at all. Rather, it should be said that this was a situation deliberately created by the God King to train his son!

In other words, poor Loki thought he could deceive everyone and seize the throne while Odin was asleep, proving that he was the most suitable successor. Little did he know that all of this was just a test to make Thor realize the importance of responsibility.

In other words, as long as he doesn't affect the outcome of Thor and Loki's trial, Odin won't turn against him even if he does something in the middle.

This is precisely the real reason why Alvin, relying on the excuse of being "humiliated," dared to beat the guardian of Asgard half to death.

In a sense, Alvin also got his wish and "entered" the sight of that God King, laying the initial groundwork for future negotiations and transactions.

Wait, since Odin hasn't fallen asleep, that means— Alvin suddenly had a bold idea. He rubbed his chin, looked up at the sky, and said, "I know you're watching this place. How about we make a deal?"

Rumble!

Thunder roared, and a bolt of lightning ripped through the clouds.

As if in response, countless bolts of lightning intertwined within the thick, dark clouds, forming what appeared to be an enormous "human face" against the backdrop of the night.

That "face" was made of pure lightning, radiating immense pressure and aura. Its two emotionless eyes, like vortexes formed by converging lightning, looked down at him condescendingly.

Without a doubt, no one but Odin, the King of Gods of Asgard, the guardian of the Nine Realms, and the legendary figure from mythology, could have accomplished this.

This also indirectly confirms his guess.

Odin was indeed pretending to be asleep. Thinking this, Alvin felt no panic. Looking up at that magnificent, enormous face, he said with a smile, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Alvin Valshius. I am a Rogue Trader, which can be understood as a merchant who travels around."

The enormous, indifferent face, reflected in the clouds amidst lightning, thunder, and howling winds, remained silent, seemingly waiting for something to say.

"Thor was banished to Earth and stripped of his divine powers—"—this must have been your idea, right?"Alvin feigned methodical reasoning, tracing the cause and effect to arrive at his conclusion: "But at the same time, you left Thor's Hammer here. If I'm not mistaken, this must be a personal trial for Thor, right?"

After a few seconds of silence, another clap of thunder sounded, which could be considered Odin's answer.

"Let me think. What could possibly be the reason that would make the God King of Asgard banish his son from the realm of the gods and seal his divine power?" Alvin pretended to ponder for a moment, then deliberately acted as if he had guessed something. "Could it be that you want to use this opportunity to temper the character of this heir?"

Suddenly, the thunder stopped.

It seemed that his thoughts had been guessed, which surprised even the King of Gods.

In an instant, Alvin felt a force envelop him, and the scenery before him changed rapidly. In the time it took to think, he found himself on a lush green grassland.

"This is?!"

Alvin's pupils contracted slightly; he hadn't even noticed the entire process. This was... the King of Gods?

In the distance, towering Snow Mountain- capped mountains rise, and an ordinary-looking old man stands not far away, quietly observing him with his only remaining eye.

Finding himself in a different place startled Alvin for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and walked towards the old man. "You must be the King of Gods —Lord Odin, right?"

"You are... very special."

Odin's single eye, according to legend, contains the "rune power" bestowed by the World Tree, and is also the source of this God King's "omniscient" authority.

What did you see?

Alvin was also very curious about what this God King could see in him.

"Blood, bones, war—endless war." Odin's pupils contracted slightly, even though he had conquered the Nine Realms and established Asgard's exalted status, killing countless lives in the process.

However, upon seeing Alvin, I suddenly felt that I was perhaps a bit "too inexperienced".

Mountains of corpses and seas of blood?

No, no, no, to be precise, it should be an endless surge of malice, like the purest emotion mixed with terrifying... endless slaughter and war!

What puzzled Odin even more was that he couldn't see through the young man's future; it was as if it were shrouded in a fog!

In Odin's eyes, this was by no means simple!

It should be noted that ever since the decision was made to sacrifice an eye to the World Tree in order to obtain the power of the runes, the future that cannot be seen has become extremely rare.

However, Alvin is such a monster that, despite being in this space-time, he cannot see any trace of the past or the future.

Could it be that they come from that "ethnic group"?

No, that's impossible. That group should have disappeared. Even if they still exist, they should be under the surveillance of that old guy, "Ancient One," not the young man before us.

But if he wasn't from that "group," why couldn't we find any trace of this young man?

Thinking of this, Odin's brows furrowed sharply, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes as he looked at the young man.

He slowly opened his mouth and asked, "What do you want?"

"Although I don't know the reason, I can roughly guess that you did this so that Thor would learn something after losing his divine powers, right?"

Alvin, of course, was unaware that his presence had nearly plunged the God King into deep self-doubt. He stated bluntly, "I've come to make a deal with you."

"Continue."

Odin stared at Alvin expressionlessly.

"Although I don't know the details, I presume your true intention is to let Thor experience mortal life after losing his divine powers, and learn how to become a true and qualified successor, right?" Alvin said.

"You're right, Thor —he's too proud."

When Odin spoke of his son, he was clearly troubled, his brow furrowed, and he sighed, "He made a mistake, and I must make him understand that endless war and cruelty will not bring peace to Asgard."

He must learn humility and kindness, and learn how to understand mortals, so that he can better rule over the people of Asgard and the Nine Realms.

"Simple. This is the deal I wanted to make." Alvin snapped his fingers and smiled. "I'll help you train Thor to be a worthy successor, but in return—you'll need to pay a price."

Do you think this kind of deal is acceptable?

".-·You, help me train Thor?"

Odin frowned slightly, scrutinizing Alvin with a questioning gaze, clearly not believing that this young man could mold Thor into the qualified successor he envisioned.

"Believe me, Your Majesty the God King." Alvin, with a mysterious smile, confidently patted his chest and assured him, "In my homeland, there is also a great ruler like you. No one knows better than him how to cultivate an heir to the throne!"

"What do you want?" Odin did not give a direct answer, but instead asked for the price to pay.

"Rest assured, I, Alvin, have always been fair and just in my dealings. Everyone who has worked with me praises my integrity. In this business, it all comes down to one word—honesty!" Alvin declared confidently, his face solemn and serious. "After the deal is done, we'll discuss the price. You can see the results first, and if you're not satisfied, your money back!"

Having said all that, Odin pondered for a few seconds, and seeing that he wasn't at a disadvantage, nodded in agreement. "Alright, I'll hand Thor over to you. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer."

Unfortunately, His Majesty the God King seems to have never heard the saying, "Free is the most expensive!"

And so, Alvin took over the Thor training program, and he began to plan how to train this "prince".

Troublemaker? Arrogant? Megalo?

No problem, Warhammer Academy specializes in curing these kinds of problems. They guarantee that after graduation, Thor will become a "qualified" successor.

As for whether he meets Odin's expectations of a suitable successor, Alvin couldn't guarantee it. After all, he came from Warhammer Academy, so a little bit of magic and obsession is understandable, right?
