Odin Came Calling! Mastering an Asgardian Divine Art in Half a Day!

Kamar-Taj.

Today is a special day for Ancient One.

A rare guest arrived at her Tea Room.

The man had white hair and wore tattered coarse cloth clothes, looking like any homeless old man you could see on the street.

But in the entire Multiverse, absolutely no one dares to underestimate him.

Because he is the ruler of the Nine Realms, the king of the gods, Odin.

"Odin, what brings you to Kamar-Taj?"

Ancient One slowly poured a cup of hot tea and pushed it in front of the other person.

"I've run into some trouble and would like to ask for your help."

Odin cut to the chase without any pleasantries.

"Oh? Why don't you tell me what it is first?"

Ancient One picked up the teacup and gently blew on the steam.

She and Odin had no connection whatsoever; in fact, they had even fought over territory before. For this high and mighty god-king to suddenly come asking for a favor was definitely not a good thing.

"Hela... can't hold it in any longer."

A hint of weariness flashed in Odin's One-Eye, and his voice was low.

Upon hearing this name, Ancient One's expression instantly darkened.

"You promised me back then that she would never get out!" Ancient One's tone turned stern.

When Hela was sealed on Earth, the Ancient One personally went to Asgard to confront Odin and demand an explanation.

The two even fought, and in the end Odin made a solemn vow, guaranteeing that Hela would never be able to break the seal, before the Ancient One reluctantly agreed to leave this time bomb on Earth.

"That happened hundreds of years ago, Ancient One."

"I... am old."

Odin looked at the Ancient One and sighed deeply.

If he hadn't truly reached the point of utter despair, how could he, with the pride of being the foremost ruler of Asgard, possibly lower himself to beg for help?

The Ancient One looked at Odin's aged and dejected appearance, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

That old fox looks like he's really nearing his end.

"Even if I help, it probably won't delay things for long."

Ancient One told the truth.

Hela's power comes from Asgard; as long as Asgard exists, Hela is virtually invincible.

"Let's stall for as long as we can. At least, we can't let her run away now," Odin said helplessly.

"That's right, if that crazy woman gets out, the whole world will definitely suffer."

Ancient One rubbed her temples, then suddenly remembered something.

"How about this, I'll find someone else to help. With more people, the sealing time can be extended a little."

Who should I look for?

Odin frowned. "To seal Hela, we must use Asgard -specific sealing magic. Ordinary Sorcerers will be of no use."

"Don't worry, give him half a day, and I guarantee he'll learn it." Ancient One smiled confidently.

"Half a day? That's impossible," Odin retorted without hesitation.

"Why don't you try and see?"

Ancient One didn't argue. She casually drew a Runes in the air and sent out a message.

Not long after.

The wooden door to the Tea Room was pushed open, Ren walked in.

As soon as he entered, Ren saw the One-Eye old man sitting opposite the Ancient One, and was immediately startled.

He was all too familiar with the lightning-infused Divine Power emanating from this old man!

"It was actually this kid."

Odin saw Ren, and a hint of surprise flashed in his One-Eye.

"What, you know Ren?" Ancient One asked, somewhat surprised.

"I went to the moon a few days ago and happened to see him blowing up the moon."

Odin said in a calm tone.

Ancient One's hand holding the teacup trembled violently, and the smile on his face froze instantly.

Ren was also extremely embarrassed, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

That old geezer, he just knows how to bring up the most sensitive topics!

"Ahem, let's not talk about the past." Ancient One quickly changed the subject. "The helper I was talking about is him."

"Him?" Odin frowned. "He doesn't know any Asgard magic."

This is a sophisticated application of Divine Power, completely different from ordinary Magic.

Even if this kid is good at lightning Magic, it doesn't mean he can learn the secret arts of the Divine Realm.

"How about we make a bet?" Ancient One looked at Odin with a half-smile.

"Forget it. You try teaching him first."

Odin waved his hand, not falling for it at all. The Ancient One was a very shrewd woman; she would never gamble without absolute certainty.

"Good."

Ancient One turned to look at Ren: "Ren, listen carefully, I am about to teach you a sealing technique unique to Asgard."

Ren nodded and listened intently.

The Ancient One simply explained the energy flow model and core Runes Spell.

The moment the Ancient One finished speaking...

In Ren's mind, the familiar System Notifications sounded right on time.

"Bite!"

"The host has listened to the Sorcerer Supreme's explanation of the secret arts of the Divine Realm!"

"Host has successfully mastered [Asgardian Sealing Spell]!"

"Because the host is proficient in the Laws of thunder and has an extremely profound understanding of this Spell!"

"[Asgardian Sealing Spell] has reached level 1 instantly!"

Ren was secretly delighted.

He raised his right hand, a thought flashing through his mind.

Sizzle!

A wisp of dark blue lightning instantly danced at his fingertips.

Odin's hand, holding the teacup, froze abruptly upon seeing this.

This...

Has this kid already learned it?!

How is that possible!

While Asgard sealing techniques may not be considered top-tier forbidden spells, they are still secret arts kept within the Divine Realm! They're not so easy to master!

However, the next second...

The blue lightning at Ren's fingertips flickered twice, then suddenly went out with a "poof".

Odin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That scared the hell out of me.

I knew it! How could you possibly unleash a Divine Realm technique after just one listen? Failure is the norm.

"Ren, it's normal to fail the first time you try divine magic. Don't be discouraged, take it slow," Ancient One comforted him from the side.

Ren scratched his head and gave an extremely shy smile.

"Sorcerer Supreme, I have not lost heart."

"This Spell... seems pretty simple."

The lightning just went out because he was distracted by looking at the system's attribute panel; it wasn't a spell failure at all.

"Simple? What a boastful tone!"

Odin was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

"This is Asgard divine spell that I personally modified! It's extremely difficult to make!"

"If you can learn it in a week, I'll give you a treasure!" Odin said confidently.

"Your Majesty, do you keep your word?" Ren's eyes lit up.

"As the Lord of the Nine Realms, my word is law!" Odin proudly raised his head.

"Then thank you very much for the God-King's reward."

Ren smiled.

He stopped talking nonsense and suddenly flipped his right hand over.

Buzz!

An extremely complex blue sealing Runes, radiating terrifying thunderous pressure, instantly condensed perfectly in his palm!

The air in the entire Tea Room seemed to tremble slightly.

Odin was completely dumbfounded.

Holy crap!

What the hell is this?!

This sealing technique was created by him using pure lightning divine Divine Power!

How could this kid have mastered it completely in just half a day—no, in the time it takes to drink a sip of tea?!

Even his proudest son, Thor, couldn't learn it after years of teaching!

In all of Asgard, besides him, only Heimdall barely managed to get close to the basics.

Is it really possible that such an unreasonable, monstrous genius exists on this earth?

Odin's mouth twitched violently.

He made a boastful statement, only to be thoroughly humiliated the next second. He's completely lost face today.

Looking at the perfect sealing Runes in Ren's hand.

A sudden, intense pang of sadness welled up in Odin's heart.

If Thor had half of this kid's talent, he wouldn't need to worry about the trivial matters of the Nine Realms; he could have retired peacefully long ago.

"Ancient One, Kamar-Taj is truly a place where hidden talents abound," Odin said sourly.

"Not at all, it's all because the child is so hardworking."

Ancient One suppressed a laugh, but inside she was overjoyed.

Making the mighty God-King suffer a setback feels incredibly satisfying.

Of course, the benefits for apprentices should not be forgotten.

"Ren, why aren't you thanking the God-King for his reward?" Ancient One quickly added fuel to the fire from the side.

"Snort!"

Odin snorted coldly with a dark face, reluctantly pulled something from his pocket, and threw it directly at Ren.
