Why do you say that?
Meikyō paused for a moment, then spoke to Odin.
"The Ancient One told me that you have a high probability of becoming Multiverse- level powerhouse. Now that I have seen you, I am even more convinced of this. It doesn't matter if I can't reach that level, but if someone who can reach that level is willing to take action, then fate can be changed, at least the fate of this universe can be changed."
Meikyō remained silent for a while, not rushing to answer.
The Ancient One and Tony Stark, both Sorcerer Supreme, must have very much wanted to become Multiverse God. Perhaps the Vishanti behind them would also be happy to see it happen. If they had been Sorcerer Supreme, then in the eyes of all the Multiverse's bigwigs, they would naturally be allies of the Vishanti.
The Ancient One was probably inspired by Stark, which is why she told Odin about her potential to break through the Multiverse.
As a wise and capable ruler, Odin would certainly try to invest in himself.
He has lived for thousands of years and possesses the wealth and knowledge that Asgard has collected for millennia. His own strength is at the level of a hegemon in a single universe. If he wants to accelerate his journey to becoming Multiverse- level powerhouse or increase the probability of becoming Multiverse- level powerhouse, Odin is definitely the person most likely to give him the greatest help.
The choice is in your own hands.
Do you want to accept it?
Odin began to lay out his cards.
"I don't know when you will be able to grow to that point, but my years of experience will surely be of some help to you. At least I have tried to walk this path myself and have some experience that can help you."
"I drank from the Well of Well of Wisdom World Tree and gained the power of omniscience. This doesn't mean I know everything that happens in the universe, but rather that I can see anything and know its purpose and how to use it. Only by knowing the laws and truths of the universe can one grow to the level of the Multiverse. I think you also have this ability. Your eyes can see more. I can only be considered the most basic level of omniscience, while you are a step deeper than me. However, to become God in the Multiverse, omniscience is just one of the qualities."
"Must Gods in Multiverse possess three characteristics: omniscience, omnivision, and Eternity?"
Suddenly, the Meikyō asked Odin.
"Ah, these three characteristics are among the most important. As the future Sorcerer Supreme, you certainly know that Vishanti is a triune existence composed of three powerful Gods. They are compatible with each other yet independent. Before they came together, they were similar to me now, just a God on the path to becoming Multiverse God and possessing some multiverse qualities. Omniscient Oshtur, Omniscient Agamotto, and Eternal Hoggs. The compatibility between the three of them is extremely high, and they complement each other. Therefore, when they come together, they can become a superior Multiverse God. And after that, even if the three of them separate, they will not fall below the Multiverse, but will only become weaker."
Immediately afterwards, Odin took out his Gungnir.
"This is Gungnir, which I made from a piece of withered branch that I took from the world. Its material comes from a higher dimension, so it also has the property of Eternity. Even if the universe dies, it will not be destroyed. However, I have studied it for a long time, but I still cannot make this Eternity my Eternity."
Odin struck Gungnir on the ground, and golden light shone forth, with a rainbow-like halo flashing. Using his spatial abilities, he brought the Meikyō to a circular building.
"Your Majesty the God-King."
A tall, muscular black man wearing golden armor and wielding a longsword knelt down on one knee before Odin.
"Get up, Heimdall, and show your guests what you've got."
Odin introduced the Meikyō to Heimdall.
"May I ask what this Venerable guest would like to see? My eyes can see anywhere in the Nine Realms."
Heimdall spoke to the Meikyō.
"So... let's see what the United States General Bank is doing right now?"
Heimdall cast his gaze down towards the Rainbow Bridge.
"He... landed on an island and is now doing some... rather embarrassing things."
"Alright, Heimdall, keep up your post."
Odin followed Heimdall's gaze, sighed, and shook his head.
"Regardless of race, all intelligent life has its flaws. Putting that aside, you should understand why I brought you to see Heimdall, right?"
Odin turned his head and looked at the Meikyō.
"All-view?"
"Yes, but no. If my omniscience is relatively complete, but only at a rudimentary level, then my omnivision is incomplete."
Odin, with the Meikyō in hand, walked to a beautiful artificial hill and sat down. He waved his hand and conjured several golden wine bottles, and began to drink.
"My omniscience was achieved after consulting Agamotto. In the distant past, Oshtur also tried to break through the multiverse on her own, but she almost failed when she gained the All-Seeing Eye. She did not succeed, so she shed a tear, and thus Agamotto was born. He was born with true All-Seeing Eye. His vision can traverse space. If he wants, he can see almost anywhere in the entire universe. This is something that Multiverse- level powerhouses can do. That's why they can project their power along their vision to any corner of spacetime. That's why the mages of Kamar-Taj can borrow the power of Vishanti anywhere."
"As for me, I can only project my vision to the Nine Realms. I can't see Vanaheim because it's blocked by the Reality Stone, and I can't see Kamar-Taj because it has the magical power of the Vishanti. Moreover, I can't perfectly control the power of Omnisight like Agamotto because I'm missing an eye."
Odin touched his eyepatch and said.
"It's not difficult to create a new eye for myself. Whether it's through technology or magic, there are at least a hundred ways in the universe to create an eye for someone. But I'm different. My eye was sacrificed to the World Tree in a higher dimension. So no matter what method I use, my eye will not be restored. Even if I put a good eye in it, it will have no effect. It's like the universe's rules have erased half of my vision. Although there are other means of perception in battle that can make up for it, I will never be able to truly possess the power of omniscience. This is the price I paid to the World Tree for omniscience, and the price is equal."
"That Heimdall..."
"He was the child with the best eyesight that I chose from Asgard. When I realized that I could not master true omniscience, I tried to learn from Oshtur and cultivate someone with All-Seeing Eye to bypass the limitation, but I still failed. Heimdall and I are the same, only able to see things within the Nine Realms."
After talking with Odin, Meikyō learned about Odin's true power.
In terms of strength, Odin is among the top of the Asgardian gods. He not only inherited the divine power of the previous Asgard kings, but also, through thousands of years of accumulation, he has acquired some of the characteristics of a powerful being from the Multiverse.
The incomplete Omniscient, the Eternity Gungnir, and his own Omniscience, while not yet reaching the true peak of a single universe, are already close to multiverse in terms of rank.
Unfortunately, his potential is locked, and this is his limit.
It is tragic to be able to see something but not to have it, especially since he knows the tragedy of his fate and is powerless to resist it.
Just like this incident, Odin actually knew what was going to happen and could have tried to stop it, but he also knew that he couldn't stop it.
He could only choose the path with the least cost, and then wait until the day when he could no longer suppress Odin Force due to old age, and then he would perish.
"Alright, young man, sorry to have shown you an old man losing his composure. I think you already know what I can do and what I can offer, but actually, there's more to it than you think."
Odin retrieved the golden goblet containing the finest wine of the heavens and looked solemnly into the Meikyō.
"Asgard and Odin Force are for Thor, but apart from those, I have everything I have as a bargaining chip: everything in Odin's Vault, the Space Stone, the Reality Stone, and all the information I've gained in exploring the power of the Multiverse, including the location of the Soul Stone —I can give it to you!"
You can stand on my shoulders to reach the edge of the Multiverse, but in return, I hope that after you become God of the Multiverse and transform this spacetime into your dimension, you can change Asgard's destined fate, protect Asgard, and nurture Thor into an excellent king capable of leading Asgard.
The entire Odin's Vault, the two Infinity Stones, and clues to the Soul Stone —these things are worth more than an entire Milky Way.
This is all the bargaining chips Odin, the king of the gods, can offer in order to change the fate of Asgard.
"The location of the Soul Stone?"
Meikyō asked in surprise.
"Yes, I know the location of the Soul Stone, but it requires a price I cannot afford. Even if I obtained it, I still could not overcome fate, so I did not take it."
Odin sighed.
Even without Odin saying anything, Meikyō understood.
To obtain the Soul Stone, one must sacrifice the soul of one's beloved to Soul Stone.
Odin sought the gems to change his destiny, including his own, Asgard's, and of course, his loved ones.
"Alright, I agree. I accept your gift and, after becoming Multiverse- level being, I will save Asgard's fate. Should we draft a contract and have the Vishanti or some other being witness it?"
Meikyō naturally chose to accept.
God in the Multiverse is not easy.
The Ancient One, Tony Stark, and Odin —these top talents in the Prison of Oneness—can be of great help to him.
Putting everything else aside, the Meikyō simply couldn't refuse the ownership of the Space Stone and the Reality Stone.
"Let the Vishanti and the World Tree be our witnesses. I have a few leaves from the World Tree here. We can draft the terms on them. I will use runes, and you will use arcane runes. We will write the contract together in both languages, and then offer the leaves as a sacrifice to the Vishanti and the World Tree."
Odin took out a broad, shimmering leaf, gathered divine power in his fingers, and wrote on it. After finishing, he handed it to the Meikyō.
Meikyō's right hand also condensed golden secret energy, and wrote a contract.
Once the contract was made, it spontaneously combusted without fire, turning into white smoke and disappearing into the void.
Two great beings of high rank witnessed this covenant.
"Haha, I'll be counting on you to take good care of Thor from now on. Brother Meikyō, I'm thousands of years older than you, so it's not too much for me to call you brother, is it?"
Odin smiled and addressed Meikyō.
Calling someone "brother" signifies a closer relationship between the two parties.
"Haha, I'm the one who needs your help, Brother Odin."
Meikyō followed the snake-beating stick technique.
As the two were talking, Odin's smile froze, and he turned to look at the location of Asgard, his expression gradually becoming sorrowful.
"Brother Odin, what's going on...?"
"Frigga... is dead."
Meikyō was silent for two seconds before uttering a few words.
"My condolences, Odin."
It seems like the brother and sister-in-law I just recognized are gone?
"There's no need to grieve for death. Even Gods Setsuna perish. But thankfully, we may only be saying goodbye to Frigga for now, if you can succeed, my friend."
Odin waved his hand, summoning a ball of golden light, which he enveloped with divine power.
That was Frigga's soul.
"I will hide Frigga's body in Ice Coffin made of Casket of Ancient Winters. When you make this spacetime your dimension and master the power of soul and reality, you can resurrect her, although this will taint her with your power and make her your servant."
Odin gazed at the location of Asgard, watching the Thor god's power erupt from there, and continued speaking to the Meikyō:
"It's time to continue playing along with fate, Brother Meikyō."
Odin placed Frigga's soul into his chest, gripped the Gungnir tightly, and walked forward tremblingly.
Then, the powerful Odin Force was unleashed, releasing a dazzling golden light.
Immediately afterwards, one after another, Dark Elves ships flew swiftly into the sky.
Meikyō stood behind Odin, silently watching this scene.
With this wave of intimidation, Odin's control over Odin Force has become even more unstable.
Before each generation of Asgard god-king passes away, they pass on all their divine power to the next god-king.
This makes each God-King more powerful than the previous one, making Asgard more prosperous with each generation, but also makes the God-King's control over divine power more unstable in the years before the end of his life.
Odin dares not make a move now, or rather, he only has one last chance to make a move.
Once the fight really begins, Odin will not be able to suppress his Odin Force. Even just releasing his full aura now is not an easy task.
