"I know, but don't worry, these are not problems; I have plenty of ways to solve them."
Thanos's face was full of confidence.
Meikyō stared at Thanos for a while, then spoke:
"What if... I were to invade the dimension of another Dimensional Demon God?"
Thanos's eyes lit up.
Which one?
Dormammu.
Thanos's purple face split open in a grin.
"It's quite challenging, but I'll arrange a plan for you as soon as possible."
"Forget it, don't rush things. It's fine to plan this for a few years. As for now, let's go out. I plan to form a joint council to maintain peace among the major cosmic powers, and to rationalize the allocation and use of resources to a certain extent."
"Forgive my bluntness, Master Mingjing, but even if this Cosmic United Council is established, it will probably be of little use for a considerable period of time unless you are willing to personally intervene, kill at least a few million people, and then send a team composed of highly qualified personnel to replace them."
"So I will give you an important position in this Universal Council."
Meikyō's words made Weiwei pause.
"Odin's time is running out. I need to finish some things before then to extend his lifespan. As for you, help me carry out a decree while I plan Dormammu's Dark Dimension."
"What decree?"
"Family planning."
Noon, 12 o'clock.
In the presence of the leaders of the major powers in the universe, the Meikyō received the Eye of Agamotto, which contained the Time Stone, from the Ancient One.
From this moment on, the Sorcerer Supreme was not only the guardian of Earth against the Dimensional Demon God, but also, with everyone's tacit approval, the de facto leader of this universe.
Of course, these forces only nominally acknowledged Meikyō because of its strength.
However, in this extraordinary world, power comes from strength. If Meikyō really wants others to do something, as long as it doesn't harm their own interests, these forces will still do it to give Meikyō face.
After all, their strength is truly undeniable.
Even if he isn't Dimensional Demon God, this person has already collected all six Infinity Stones.
The Cosmic Alliance Council was established, with initial members including various factions such as the Shi'ar, Asgard, Kree, Sovereign, Skrulls, Sakaar, and Earth.
As for the Earth's interior, a series of reforms will be carried out, with the United Nations as the main framework, Divine Spear Bureau. and S.H.I.E.L.D.. as the main agencies, Kamar-Taj regularly sending sorcerers as resident sorcerers, and incorporating the Avengers and others to form a cohesive entity, which can be considered an Earth version of the Alliance Council.
In the past, the United Nations could play a certain role, but because their power was granted by the five parties, their role was relatively limited. However, it is estimated that this will change from now on.
"I can finally retire!"
The Ancient One sat leisurely on the pavilion at the edge of the cliff, drinking tea.
Meikyō stood on the opposite side, looking at the sea below the cliff.
"Hey, you're not thinking of jumping right now, are you?"
He remembered that the Ancient One had said that she was destined to fall to her death in front of the next Sorcerer Supreme.
"No need. The timeline keeps changing, and those things that were originally destined have long since changed. I just need to report to the Eternity God on time in July 2017. But I'll still need your permission then."
The Ancient One slowly took a sip of tea.
She plans to enjoy her retirement for the next few years.
Meikyō glanced at the Ancient One's condition and judged that she had indeed died around 2017 due to complete physical aging.
"Alright, get back to what you're doing. Don't forget you're not a true Dimensional Demon God yet. It's time to take that final step."
The Ancient One waved his hand, shooing Meikyō away.
The next instant, Meikyō teleported to Asgard.
In the secret chamber of Asgard, Odin, Thor, Loki had been waiting for a long time.
"Can my mother be resurrected?"
With bandages still wrapped around his shoulder, Thor hurriedly jogged toward Meikyō.
"That should be fine."
Meikyō turned his gaze to Odin.
The latter hurriedly took out a shimmering golden ball of light from his chest pocket.
This is Frigga's soul.
Loki quickly pressed the button next to him, opening the wall and pushing the Ice Coffin out with Thor.
"I'm going to begin."
Amidst the expectant gazes of the group, Meikyō activated the Soul Stone on the Infinity Gauntlet.
After obtaining this from Thanos, he only had time to understand it once.
Fortunately, Meikyō had a solid foundation in Spirit Transformation Techniques because she had studied them in the past.
Furthermore, with the Nine-Tails Rinne Sharingan and the Six Paths Power, the ability of the Mirror God Eye to perceive things has been amplified to its limit.
While he may not be as skilled as those hell lords who manipulate souls in the art of soul manipulation, he is certainly not inferior to some mages who are proficient in soul magic.
With the added bonus from the Soul Stone, putting Frigga's soul back into her body wasn't particularly difficult.
Not to mention that Odin spent a great deal of divine power to maintain Frigga's soul intact.
"A noble, sacred, radiant, and compassionate soul."
This is the mark that the Soul Stone made on Frigga's soul.
However, Meikyō did not rush to use the Soul Stone to put Frigga's soul back into her body. Instead, he first used the Time Stone to cover Frigga's soul and body.
Ultimately, Frigga had already died once, and even if her soul and body were originally in harmony, it changed at the Setsuna of her death.
Meikyō is doing now is to rewind time, allowing Frigga's soul and body to return to the Setsuna of her death.
The Soul Stone was used immediately afterward to put Frigga's soul back into her body.
But this is not the end.
Because Frigga hasn't been resurrected yet.
Reversing death is not so easy.
The Reality Stone glowed red, erasing the reality of Frigga's death.
Soon, Frigga's complexion regained its rosy hue, and her heart began to beat again, making her look as if she had simply fallen asleep.
She has come back to life.
Upon seeing this, Loki couldn't help but want to step forward and wake Frigga.
However, Odin stopped him from doing so.
Odin shook his head at Loki, indicating that it wasn't over yet.
The Mind Stone shone brightly once more, its orange glow softly illuminating Frigga's head and casting a halo around her.
Frigga has indeed come back to life, but she is unaware that she is alive, so she needs the power of the Mind Stone to awaken her.
"That's fine."
Meikyō breathed a slight sigh of relief and said to Odin.
"Mother! But... why hasn't Mother woken up yet?"
Loki looked worried.
"She has been dead for a long time. Now that she has woken up again, it's like a machine that has been out of power for a long time. It needs time to restart. Her soul needs to readjust to her body, and so does her mind. It will take about a week to recover. Those of you who are close to her should spend more time talking to her. Perhaps you can wake her up sooner."
Odin looked at his wife with gentle eyes.
"Thank you very much, Brother Meikyō."
"It's not over yet, Brother Odin. Your wife's matter is over, but yours isn't."
Meikyō shook his head.
Odin was silent for a few seconds, then spoke:
"Let's talk outside."
Outside the magnificent palace of Asgard, with its carved beams and painted rafters, Odin stroked the railings and gazed at the breathtaking scenery of Asgard from a long corridor made of some kind of metal that resembled white jade.
"Are you trying to say something about my lifespan?"
"Um."
Meikyō nodded gently.
"Sister-in-law Frigga has 207 years left to live, but Brother Odin, you only have 4 years and 9 months left."
"Do you have a way to extend my life?"
Odin said expectantly.
No one would refuse a chance to live a little longer.
"Five thousand years is the limit of the lifespan of Asgardians. Divine power will increase with age and will not disappear, but the body will age. The soul, divine power, and body are interdependent. The soul needs the nourishment of divine power and body, and divine power needs the power of soul and body to be born. The body needs the soul to maintain its vitality and needs divine power to obtain great strength."
We once considered replacing part of our bodies with machines, but even Uru Metal can only transmit divine power, not bear it. As a result, the body and soul cannot generate and maintain divine power, and we will slowly become as fragile as mortals. Then, because the soul loses the nourishment of the body and divine power, it will perish within a few decades.
Valhalla is the final product of our experiments. Every Asgardians died, as long as their soul still exists and can be found, will be placed there to rest, protected by the divine power of the God-King, awaiting a possible future awakening.
Odin pointed to a magnificent golden palace in front of them and said.
The lifespan limit of a race is not an easy problem to solve.
The Asgardians aren't incapable of living longer; their souls haven't actually reached their lifespan limit, but their physical bodies have.
However, if one were to return to their original physical body, their divine power would vanish, their original strength would disappear, their soul would lose nourishment, and their lifespan would become the same as that of a mortal.
"There is a way to extend your time to a certain extent. After I become a true Multiverse God, I will give you a sliver of the rules I have mastered. At that time, as long as I am still alive, you will be able to live."
This is actually about turning Odin into one's own servant.
After the Ancient One, she was to go to the Eternity to become Eternity servant. Other Multiverse God also have their own servants, such as the four messengers under Galactus: Stardust, Firelord, Tyrant, and Silver Surfer.
Take Ghost Rider, for example. He is also considered one of Mephisto's familiars, but Mephisto wanted to make this familiar even stronger, so he added the soul of the deceased Lord of Hell Zarthus, into it. However, the transformation process went awry. In addition, Mephisto himself had enslaved Johnny Blaze through trickery and deception, so things went wrong in the end, and Ghost Rider broke free from Mephisto's control.
"Tell me your method first."
Odin looked at Valhalla and said.
"I will use the power of reality and time to make your body young again, but in return, I will erase some things and memories from your past life. I will take you to see the records of time and space. You can choose which time to delete and how much time to delete. That's how much time you will gain. But I estimate that it will be at most a few decades, otherwise it will affect the current time."
The Meikyō spoke to Odin.
Actually, this made some connections to the topic.
Given how important the timelines are in the Marvel universe, could it be because there are certain reasons why something in the future cannot be changed?
"Okay, then... let's begin."
The two then went to another secret room and began to browse through the records of time and space.
With a life spanning nearly five thousand years, Odin created an extremely glorious legend.
More than four thousand years ago, Odin, who had just come of age and had not yet become the king of the gods, descended to Earth as the God of Thor to undergo the trials of Bor. He formed the Prehistoric Avengers with Agamotto, the First Hokage Black Panther, and others, and for the first time repelled the Celestials who had descended to Earth.
More than three thousand years ago, when Bor was old, Asgard faced an invasion by the Dark Elves who had mastered the Aether. Odin was appointed to a critical mission, inheriting the divine power of his sacrificed brothers Willy and Fee, and assisting his father Bor. He then went on a mission to form an alliance with the Vanir and Dwarves, defeated the Dark Elves, and subsequently ascended to the throne of the gods, marrying Frigga.
Two thousand nine hundred years ago, he hung upside down on the World Tree for seven days and seven nights, gaining omniscience and comprehending the runes from the rules of the universe. He then embarked on a journey to conquer the universe with his daughter Hela.
Two thousand five hundred years ago, he sealed away his ambitious daughter Hela, allowing Asgard to recuperate after nearly a thousand years of war, and ordered the Dwarves to forge the Destroyer Armor.
Nineteen hundred years ago, he donned the Destroyer Armor and fought against the Celestials alongside the previous Sorcerer Supreme Zhang Jiao and Zhang Heng of the Brotherhood of the Shield. He was severely injured and the fight was unsuccessful. In the end, Zhang Heng tricked the female Celestials into giving birth inside the sun.
Seventeen hundred years ago, the suppression of the Frost Giants' rebellion began.
Fifteen hundred years ago, Thor was born, the rebellion ended, and Loki was adopted...
This has continued to this day.
Odin dared not easily alter the history before it was hung on the World Tree.
Because the first two thousand years of his life were the most important period of his development in order to possess his current power.
During this period, Odin only gained eleven years through modifications.
For the next three thousand years, Odin didn't touch those important milestones, but most of the other things, like going to Earth to drink with the Vikings when he was bored, going to Alfheim for a vacation when he was tired from work, or going to other entertainment planets in the universe, were deleted.
As for the rest, Odin believed that he had encountered memorable people and events during that process, so he did not delete them.
This latter phase lasted for 71 years, making a total of 82 years.
"Eighty-two years... It seems I've made good use of my nearly five thousand years of time; more than ninety-eight percent of that time has been meaningful."
Odin flipped through his past memories, a tear rolling down his cheek.
