Odin didn't like this risky plan, but he also understood that in such a severe situation, such decisiveness was essential. "I'm old," he sighed. He also had such courage and ruthlessness when he was young. However, in his old age, he put caution above everything else.
"I can understand how you feel," The Ancient One added. "That's why I chose him." Ian gave her a strange look.
Although he looks very young, he is actually older than the Ancient One, because she is only 700 years old, while he is more than 2,000 years old.
However, their demeanors are completely different. He maintains a young mentality, while she feels like an old, tired but wise elder.
"Since Odin can't last long, let's get this done as soon as possible," Ian said, leading them to another universe he named Earth-232. Empire has already mastered the technology of navigating Blank Domain to find other timelines, so this is not a problem.
After arriving at the destination, Ian immediately started working. He stretched out his hand and cast the most perfect reincarnation spell he had ever created. This was not as simple as dividing a soul and occupying a body.
No, this spell will use the brief connection with Cosmic Will to obtain a legal identity and thus become a legal citizen of the place where they were reincarnated.
"Wait," Morgana suddenly said in his mind.
"What's wrong?"
"Give me some time. I've found a way to make this process safer."
"What happened?" The Ancient One asked when he saw him standing with his arms stretched out but there was no movement.
"Huh? Oh, it's okay. I just thought of a way to make this experiment safer. Give me some time." Ian closed his eyes and contacted Morgana.
"What happened?" "Done," she said after a few seconds. "I developed a method of determining the relative strengths of universes/timelines."
"What method?"
"It's basically reading the aura of the universe," Morgana explained. "Powerful entities have their own natural aura; similarly, different universes have their own.
I speculate that depending on how many existences of Tier 10 or above a timeline contains, they will have different auras, and by reading this energy, I can determine their relative strength."
"Clever," Ian praised. "It seems your new update exceeded my expectations."
"This update comes at the right time; otherwise, once you reach Tier 10, I might be useless," Morgana replied with a arrogant look.
"Okay. Take us to the weakest universe you can detect."
"No problem."
"Let's go," Ian announced to the others.
"What happened?" Odin asked.
"I have developed a method to detect the relative strength of timelines. We will conduct the experiment with a weak universe in case something goes wrong, so we can destroy it immediately."
"You always bring surprises to me," The Ancient One praised with a gentle smile.
"Indeed," Odin nodded. At the same time, the silent La felt that this was a matter of course. Otherwise, how could his master create him?
Ian led them to Earth-777, and then cast the spell. Of course, he did not use his soul to reincarnate.
In order to prevent the loss of his soul in an accident, he will never use his own soul. A paranoid person like him knows very well what terrible consequences it will bring once some unknown entity has a piece of his soul.
After successfully casting the spell, everyone waited, but nothing happened. "Did it succeed?" Odin asked.
"Successful."
"Are you sure?"
"I have sped up the reincarnation process and can feel the soul being born. So, yes, it did work."
"In other words, traveling through Multiverse through reincarnation will not cause Fusion to occur in advance?" The Ancient One speculated.
"Before drawing conclusions, let's repeat the experiment several times," Ian said. Relying on Morgana's new abilities, they conducted tests on relatively weak timelines, and several timelines close to their own strength level, and the results were the same.
"This is vital intelligence," Odin said. "We can send spies to infiltrate these timelines, gather intelligence, and weaken them from within."
"We can do more than that," Ian said with a glint in his eyes.
"What do you think?"
"I call it 'Speedster Plan,'" he replied, briefly explaining his plan.
"Cruel but effective," The Ancient One commented, and Odin was silent for a brief moment. "Can you teach this spell to my wife? I can pay you if you are willing."
"I don't mind, but can you tell me what you're going to do with it?"
"I want to send my people to try to control Valhalla in other timelines," Odin said. "If we need warriors to deal with the upcoming war, Valhalla's warriors will be very useful, so I consider expanding its power."
"Good idea." Although he guessed that Odin did not tell the whole truth, it did not matter for the time being.
"What do you want in exchange?" All-Father asked.
"Five mid-level Demon Gods captured alive," he replied after thinking. Without his Floating City, capturing these creatures alive would cost him too much time and energy. Therefore, he gave this task to Odin, who had overwhelming strength with the power of Destroyer.
"Other than the time it takes to track them down, it's not a big deal. However, do you think it's a good idea to provoke these things? They might be useful in the upcoming battle."
"You are wrong," The Ancient One said. "These creatures are the incarnations of Chaos. They will show their fangs to us before offering help. In fact, they are unstable variables and we should deal with them before the real Fusion begins."
"Now that you say so," Odin replied. He felt she was biased because for some reason these creatures had always coveted Earth and she had a negative view of them after fighting them for so long.
However, he also realizes that his opinion may be biased because he doesn't have to deal with these things as often as she does.
"Can you help him track those Demon Gods?" Ian asked.
"No problem," The Ancient One nodded. She has completed the task of assisting in the construction of the new Sanctums and is very happy to help.
"Is there anything else?" Odin asked. After using Destroyer for so long, he was a little tired.
"How is Thor's training going?"
"Why are you asking this?"
"Some situations have arisen and we may need to speed up all plans," Ian stated, and then explained the situation of Hydra.
"This is a problem," The Ancient One said. "Although Mephisto is only ranked ninth among the Hell lords, according to records, he is the most difficult one to deal with because of his cunning nature."
"Did that poisonous snake poke its ugly head out again?" Odin snorted coldly.
"You know him?"
"He tried to take over Valhalla multiple times, including once when I was young. I almost died because of that bastard."
"It seems that Mephisto has been very busy," Ian commented.
"If you need any help to deal with that Hell lord, you can call me," Odin declared. "You can also contact me to speed up the plan, because Thor is indeed ready." After three years of frustrating education and training in the dream, Odin is very satisfied with his son's progress.
"Okay. It's time for me to go."
Destroyer turned into a rainbow and then disappeared.
'Interesting. It seems that I underestimated Bifrost's ability,' Ian thought.
"I will start tracking Demon Gods immediately," The Ancient One announced, using Space Stone to open a portal home.
"It's time for me to go back to the station," La said. "So, master, please give me a ride."
Ian waved his hand and opened a portal for him.
"We still have a lot of work to do, let's start with 'Speedster Plan'," Ian announced when he was alone.
