In order to maintain his divine power to suppress Hela, Odin spent most of this period in a deep sleep.
This is a kind of self-hibernation similar to freezing, a way to slow down the loss of one's original divine power.
When Thor returned just now, he also came over to check on Odin, who was sleeping, and told Frigga, about Qin Xiao and the others' arrival.
He chatted with his mother about some interesting things happening on Earth, just as Heimdall sent a message saying that Qin Xiao had brought people to the Bifrost.
Thor got up to greet everyone, but as he passed Odin's sleeping room, the mother and son glanced to see if Odin was awake, only to find that Odin had suddenly disappeared.
The mother and son were just chatting next door. If Odin wakes up and goes out, they will definitely find him.
But now there's not even the slightest sound.
With his father mysteriously missing, Thor had no time for socializing. He briefly explained the situation and went straight to Heimdall.
Heimdall knew the gravity of the situation. Before Thor could speak, the golden light in his pupils vanished, and his eyes were filled with confusion.
They had clearly set their sights elsewhere, locking onto Odin's location.
After a long while, Heimdall silently took the Guardian's Sword and walked back to the Bifrost Temple, where he plunged the sword into the control panel.
At the same time, the needle-like object on the Bifrost Temple, which resembled an antenna, emitted bursts of seven-colored light. A beam of seven-colored light suddenly shot out from it and shot into the cosmos.
Somewhere in Svartalfheim, the home of the Dark Elves, since their Dark Elves attempt many years ago to use the Aether to plunge the entire universe back into darkness.
The entire territory of Svartalfheim fell into desolation, and all the Dark Elves hibernated in the shadows, recuperating and waiting for their chance.
Just now, Odin appeared very abruptly on the desolate land of Svartalfheim, and the Bifrost crossed the boundary in the sky, directly covering the area where Odin was lying.
With a deafening roar, the moment the Bifrost touched the ground, Odin vanished again in a bizarre manner.
At the Bifrost Temple, after Heimdall planted the Guardian's Sword, the Bifrost activated, directly locking onto the location Heimdall had just seen. However, within a few dozen seconds, the Bifrost quickly retracted.
However, the portal to the Bifrost Temple remained empty.
"What?"
Heimdall's expression changed.
" Heimdall, what's going on? Didn't you bring my father back with the Bifrost?"
Heimdall completely ignored Thor's words, his eyes returning to their blank expression.
Qin Xiao seemed to remember something and grabbed Thor's arm, saying...
" Odin's location should be constantly changing without warning. Don't disturb him. He needs to concentrate. Pull him back before Odin disappears again."
Heimdall's actions also confirmed Qin Xiao's words, and the Bifrost was activated again.
This time, the target is Muspelheim, the Fire Realm.
As the Bifrost was activated and then reactivated, and as the portals within the Bifrost Temple flashed with multicolored light, Odin appeared inside the temple, accompanied by a unique subterranean magma being from Muspelheim.
Before being teleported up, he was probably preparing to attack Odin, and at this moment he subconsciously repeated the action of pouncing on Odin.
He was met with Thor, swung angrily by the Mjolnir.
With a single blow, the lava man was reduced to a pile of steaming rock fragments.
" Heimdall, what's going on?"
Thor first confirmed Odin's presence, then turned to Heimdall and asked.
" Convergence!"
Before Heimdall could answer, Odin had been lying motionless on the ground, sat up.
The powerful aura and oppressive presence unique to the All-Father flashed briefly in his eyes before he reverted to the demeanor of a frail old man.
"Father, are you alright?"
Thor quickly stepped forward and helped Odin up.
"I'm fine, my child, Qin. You've come too. Are these your friends from Earth? Thor, it seems you have a good group of companions on Earth. Welcome to Asgard, Thor's friends!"
Odin broke free from Thor's grasp, stepped forward, and smiled kindly at the crowd.
Although the Avengers believed that the so-called gods were just aliens with a higher level of evolution.
However, when faced with Odin, who is known as the All-Father and a deity who has existed in Earth's mythology for thousands of years, he still expressed his respect.
Regardless of age and status, everyone already knew that thousands of years ago, when faced with the invasion of Earth by other kingdoms of the Nine Realms, such as the Frost Giants...
It has always been Asgard, or rather Odin, that has protected the Earth, and that alone is enough to earn everyone's heartfelt respect.
"Father, what you just said about the Convergence?"
"Your friends are from Earth, we can't entertain them here. Let's go back to the Golden Palace first, and then I'll tell you what Convergence is."
Odin did not answer Thor's question directly, but instead led everyone into the Golden Palace.
Frigga was relieved to see Odin return safely and began to prepare for the banquet.
A long, long time ago...
After finding a room for receiving guests, Odin began to tell a story once everyone was seated.
This story tells of Odin's father leading the Asgard army to defeat the evil Dark Elves.
The story is short; it's simply about Malekith, the leader of the Dark Elves, who wanted to use the ancient weapon Aether, to plunge the entire universe back into darkness. He was ultimately defeated by Odin's father, who destroyed the Aether.
"I heard this story when I was a child, but Father, what does it have to do with the Convergence?"
Thor asked, puzzled.
" The Convergence is the result of the Nine Realms aligning in a straight line in the universe, each operating independently. These Nine Realms are interconnected by the World Tree, and space inherently has interconnected areas. When the nine celestial bodies align, the spaces of the Nine Realms will compress each other, causing spatial misalignment."
After observing the expressions on everyone's faces, Odin continued.
"That's right. My sudden disappearance today, and my wanderings through different worlds several times, proves that the Convergence is about to begin. The Aether I mentioned earlier were not actually destroyed, but buried by my father in a place no one knows."
"I have a vague feeling that this Convergence will bring out the Aether. At that time, Malekith will awaken from his slumber and resume their evil plan to plunge the entire universe back into darkness!"
Odin said with a look of unfounded worry.
Qin Xiao rolled his eyes.
"Did the Supreme The Ancient One contact you? Is this something you sensed, or did she tell you?"
"Cough cough!"
"I sensed it first, and then I checked with her to confirm, which proved that my feeling was correct!"
Odin blushed and said.
