Chapter 213 Odin's Return Gift
Soon Sif brought Carol and others who came to Asgard for the first time to continue to tour the local customs and culture.
Brunhilde went back to reminisce with her former friends and relatives. If she left this time, she was not sure if she would have a second chance to come back.
She wants to thoroughly handle all related matters so that she won't have any regrets.
Frigga and Angela, mother and daughter, communicated with each other awkwardly for a while, and then ran to other more private places to talk in private.
Only Heimdall took Levi to Asgard's treasure house. He even had the key to such a place, which showed Odin's trust in him.
On the surface, it was Frigga's return gift, but without Odin's instructions, the Queen would not have made such a decision.
With a few spells, the door of the treasure house slowly opened, but Levi did not rush in.
He knew very well that there might be a lot of things in here, but there were only a few truly powerful treasures:
The Eternal Flame, the Frozen Chest, the Orb of Agamotto, the Monument of Life and Time, and the Infinity Gauntlet.
The first two involve the Firelord Surtur and the King of the Frost Giants Laufey respectively. Regardless of whether Odin is willing to hand them over to him, they themselves represent trouble.
Once they get it, they will definitely try to take it back. Wouldn't that be taking the blame for Asgard?
Lao Fei is fine, apart from being bigger in stature, he doesn't even know many spells, so he's just a pure target.
Surtur is completely different. In addition to being the Lord of the Firelords, the being destined to destroy Asgard according to the prophecy of Ragnarok, he is also the Lord of Hell.
Any existence that has anything to do with hell is often difficult to kill, and it is only in hell that it is easier to deal with the opponent.
Moreover, if one does not possess the corresponding bloodline, one will not be able to unleash the powerful power of these two artifacts.
You can take it, but it's totally unnecessary.
The Orb of Agamotto is mainly used by mages to discover the true identity of other parties when dealing with beings from other worlds. And as the name suggests, it has some relationship with Vishanti.
Loki had handed it over last time, but Levi was not in a hurry to use it. He planned to use it as a bargaining chip when he needed Ancient One.
Or you can just give it to the beautiful Wanda to gain some favor, which wouldn't be a waste.
The Monument of Life and Time records the secrets of evolution. It is said that once used, a goblin can evolve into a cosmic god-level being within a few breaths.
For a divine weapon with such powerful power, the conditions for its use and the cost, etc., will naturally not be low.
Levi seriously suspected that this thing was related to the ancient gods of the Cthulhu series.
In the Marvel Universe, although the ancient god Cthulhu does not appear much, he still has a strong presence.
Cancer, for example, is one of those curses that has been inflicted by one of the Lord's followers, and it is virtually incurable by supernatural means.
Among the superheroes alone, there is Deadpool, Thor, and so on, who were tortured to death by cancer, and there are many other similar examples.
It is almost impossible to cure cancer through magic or the like; it can only be cured through modern scientific medicine.
Or if worst comes to worst, just clone a new body and transfer the soul and consciousness to it.
This is a bit off topic, but in short, this thing does contain the secret of evolution, but the price to pay will be countless times higher than what you get.
Furthermore, since it appeared in the universe, it has been widely circulated, and even many of the Lords of Hell know of its existence.
But it seems that there is no one who has used it to become a powerful and famous person.
It is sealed most of the time. Even if it is obtained by others occasionally, the other party will usually die very quickly and will not have a chance to use it. It is the kind of existence whose reputation far outweighs its actual performance.
Perhaps, we can reveal it to the Supreme Intelligence and trick the Kree?
But even if billions of Kree people died, it would not do me any good. I am not the god of death who reaps souls.
The last one is the Infinity Gauntlet, which is also Levi’s main goal of this trip.
Odin once tried to collect the Infinity Stones, but he gave up after a while.
The reason is not known for the time being, but the Infinity Gauntlet is indeed real.
Levi can stimulate and control the power of Soul Blade by embedding the power gem into Soul Blade and then integrating it into his own soul, but this is basically the limit of Soul Blade.
If you get more Infinity Gems in the future, it would be more reliable to use the Infinity Gauntlet to activate them.
As for other things, Levi felt that with his current strength, there would probably not be many that could serve as icing on the cake, and most of them were probably just toys.
So he was in no hurry to go in, but just smiled and looked at Heimdall: "In fact, you already know your and Sif's true identities, right?"
Heimdall opened his mouth. Although Levi's tone was questioning, it was clear from his expression that he already had the answer. It was even likely that Sif also knew about this through Levi, right?
However, he still said carefully: "Forgive me for being rude, but His Majesty does not allow me to talk about related matters casually."
"Oh, is that so? Then do you know when he will wake up? I want to talk to him about Balder."
As he spoke, Levi stretched out his hand and condensed a little light.
Heimdall was instantly moved, and there was a breath of Balder in it!
Baldur is not dead? Is this also part of Odin's plan?
Although he looks big and strong, Heimdall is actually not stupid at all. He immediately thought of many things, which made him feel even more complicated.
Sif has only known him for a few days, but he has already caused so many problems. I really don't know whether their relationship is a blessing or a curse for Sif.
Reluctantly gathering his thoughts, Heimdall extended his hand and said, "I will report this matter to the Queen. You should first choose something from the treasure house. As far as I know, there are many special treasures in it."
"Okay, I wonder how many I can take?"
"The Queen didn't say it clearly."
Based on his understanding of Odin and Frigga, after Levi had done so much for Asgard, Odin would not feel any pain at all even if Levi emptied the entire treasure house.
Living relatives are more precious than those sacred artifacts.
"Ha, then I won't be polite."
Levi pushed the door open, and as he expected, the first thing he saw was the Infinity Gauntlet, the Eternal Fire and the Ice Box. These three powerful artifacts were placed right in the middle.
After that, there was a long-handled war hammer that was more than one meter long and shone with golden light.
When he saw it, Levi only felt a little lightning burst out from Mjolnir on his waist, as if even it was happy and excited about this meeting.
Levi was also slightly surprised: "What is this war hammer?"
In fact, he had some speculations before, but he originally thought that it would be bestowed on him by Odin himself, but he didn't expect the other party to present it directly!
Heimdall, who was acting as a temporary receptionist, explained: "Stormbreaker, it was because your Majesty forged it and expended a huge amount of strength that he was forced to fall into a deep sleep early."
To be honest, he was somewhat envious and yearning for it.
After forging it, Odin had briefly tried out its power, and it turned out to be quite powerful.
His usual greatsword, Hofind, and the Rainbow Bridge Sword, Burtgon, which he used to open the Rainbow Bridge, are completely incomparable in terms of power.
Levi understood, isn't this the hammer that will be given to the Horse-Faced Thor - Bill in the future!
However, Bill has no chance. For the time being, he should continue to work for Gao Tianzun.
Although their appearances are very different, Meowth Hammer is a short-handled warhammer, while Stormbreaker is a long-handled warhammer that can be raised with both hands.
However, in terms of power and other functions, such as releasing lightning, manned flight, controlling the weather and absorbing energy, the two are almost exactly the same.
And there is a very important point, Meow Hammer needs to recognize its master before it can be lifted and even exert its power, but Stormbreaker does not seem to have any restrictions in this regard.
Theoretically, whoever gets it can use its power to become a replica of Thor!
Even if Levi doesn't use it himself, he can give it to others.
Thinking of this, Levi decisively reached out his hand.
As he touched it, some lightning suddenly flashed on the Stormbreaker. It seemed weak, but once it burst out, even a little bit of it could easily destroy an ordinary town.
But for Levi, this level of lightning was not even a tickle.
The power of Thor, the god of thunder, was activated, and Stormbreaker instantly became obedient. It gathered all its strength and was easily picked up by Levi.
Heimdall next to him was suddenly very surprised. He had several guesses before about how to tame Stormbreaker.
But he never expected that Levi could conquer Stormbreaker so easily!
After waving it a few times, Levi felt very satisfied.
At the same time, he also "heard" a "word" from Storm Breaker. Similar to Meow Hammer, with certain spells, he can also set special usage permissions for Storm Breaker to prevent it from being used casually by others after falling into their hands.
And the rules are quite broad. For example, he could set it so that only women who are loyal to him can lift it and exert its power.
Or, you can add some more specific restrictions, such as height and chest circumference, etc.
This immediately gave Levi a bold idea. Sif and Skye all had Nova Helmets, but Daisy was lazy and had never touched them before.
Since entering the universe, except for playing goblin fights with him every night without fail, Daisy has been eating and drinking all the way. She likes this trip the most.
Perhaps because of this, she and Rocket, who had similar hobbies, quickly became good friends.
It's just right to give the Stormbreaker to her to use. I don't ask her to exert great combat power, but at least she can have the power to protect herself.
When they all return to Earth later, I wonder how Thor and Loki will feel when they see him, Daisy, and Thor, a total of three copies of Thor?
But since Odin prepared Stormbreaker for himself, he probably intended for him to return Meowth to Thor, right?
"By the way, how is Thor doing on Earth lately?"
Heimdall's expression couldn't help but become strange. He said uncertainly, "It should be considered good. Although he has temporarily lost his power, he has a girlfriend and is teaming up with others on the street to act as a superhero."
In the past thousands of years, Thor has had intimate relationships with countless women, and it is rare for him to see Thor being truly sincere.
Li Wei was keenly aware of one of the words: "Team up? With whom?"
The Avengers have not yet been formed, and there are not many superheroes who have debuted.
If we narrow the scope to New York, there are probably only a limited number of people like Iron Man and Daredevil, right?
But Ma Heimdall told Levi that he was wrong.
"It's Ninjago Erica and Hit-Girl Mindy."
His ability allows him to see many things in the Nine Realms, and he has devoted most of his energy to it since Thor and Loki arrived on Earth.
Loki occasionally uses some magic to prevent him from seeing everything, but he still knows a lot about what's going on around Thor.
"what?"
Levi's brain worked at high speed, and he barely found the relevant information from his dusty memories.
"It turned out to be her?"
Hit-Girl comes from the comic book - Kick-Ass. Kick-Ass is not so much a superhero comic as it is an ordinary person's journey to pursue his dream of becoming a superhero.
The protagonist is just an ordinary loser without any super powers. The first time he did something chivalrous, he was beaten all over his body with broken bones. He was sent to the hospital in a coma and finally had to have steel nails and steel plates inserted in his body.
Such a protagonist is probably unique among all superhero comics.
Kick-Ass King is actually the king who gets beaten up.
From Levi's point of view, Kick-Ass didn't make much progress in his subsequent development, either in terms of combat power or brainpower.
Although he also created a league called "Justice Forever" to challenge DC, this league is also a group of ordinary people, just with a more impressive nickname. The final victory was won only by the opponent's rookie and the protagonist's halo.
Well, the final BOSS is a little trash who is about the same age as Kick-Ass and has no super powers. He even nicknamed himself MOTHER FUCKER, which is outrageous.
Hit-Girl is an important supporting character. Compared to the useless protagonist, she looks more like a traditional protagonist.
As for abilities, under the training of her father, a retired policeman nicknamed "Big Daddy", she can barely be said to be a replica of X-23 without super powers.
She is obviously just a little girl in her teens, but she is cruel, bloodthirsty, warlike, and regards human life as worthless.
Whether it is cold weapons, firearms, or strategy and tactics, they are far superior to ordinary men.
Thor, whose power was sealed by Odin, may not be able to catch up with her in terms of killing efficiency.
Levi was not surprised that Hit-Girl could hang out with Erica. These two girls, one big and one small, were both very bloodthirsty.
But why is Thor joining in the fun? To act as a human shield?
You know what, this is indeed a possibility.
No matter how much his power is sealed, Thor's physical fitness can still be retained to a certain extent and he will not die so easily.
Although he is the God of Thunder, he was subdued by Daisy's electric gun at the beginning, so he is indeed not that strong.
I just don’t know how Kick-Ass’ plot will develop yet. If Kick-Ass has come into contact with Hit-Girl, then it won’t be long before Hit-Girl’s father will be burned to death by the gangsters because Kick-Ass foolishly leaked the information.
The little Loli who lost her father and was forced to mature quickly is not that cute anymore.
While thinking, Levi grabbed the Infinity Gauntlet and put it directly on his right hand. This was one of his real purposes this time.
Seeing this, Heimdall immediately looked at his nose and pretended that he saw nothing.
Of course he knew about the Infinity Gauntlet and the Infinity Stones, and it seemed that Levi really intended to collect them, but this was undoubtedly a very dangerous move.
In the past, countless strong people had tried to do this, but except for those who gave up halfway, the others often ended up badly. He didn't want to be involved at all.
But when he thought of Sif, he felt a headache again. Now that Sif and Levi had that kind of relationship, even if he wanted to stay out of it, it might be too late, right?
The gloves are a little big, but as a joint product of Odin and the Dwarf King, in addition to being able to carry Infinity Gems and being extremely strong, they also have some special abilities.
Levi just input a little bit of magic power and made it fit perfectly with himself.
Looking at the groove above, Li Wei thought to himself, I don’t know when it can be filled?
It's fine for other gems, but the Soul Gem requires the sacrifice of the person you love the most, and for the time being he really can't figure out who he loves the most.
The relationships between him and many girls often start with their looks and figures rather than their souls or feelings.
And even if he could find the woman he loved most, Levi never thought of sacrificing her. He would most likely have to trouble Thanos or others to get the Soul Stone first, and then he could snatch it away.
After playing with it for a while without any hesitation, Levi put it into his pocket.
With old man Odin's wisdom, he should have seen long ago that he was planning to collect Infinity Stones, and there was no need for him to hide it.
Even if he could succeed, it would not be a bad thing for Asgard.
Without considering Hela and Loki, the beings mentioned in Ragnarok that participated in the destruction of Asgard mainly include the Fire Demon Surtur, the Great Serpent, the Giant Wolf Fenrir, etc.
If we can kill them all in advance, how will Ragnarok come?
Then there are some runes. All the runes in the entire universe originally belonged to the World Tree.
Odin blinded one of his own eyes and hung upside down on the World Tree, only then did he gain this knowledge and power from the World Tree.
Like the enchantress Amora, and Loki, no matter where they learned it from, the original source must be Odin.
So naturally, Odin created many runes.
Levi took a casual look and found that basically all 24 types of runes were there, just in varying quantities.
Their effects vary. In addition to the previously mentioned ones such as prolonging life and improving wisdom, more useful ones include the control and resistance to the four elements of earth, fire, water and wind.
Some parts that are full of metaphysics and are related to success, wealth, luck, etc.
And three that Levi thinks are very useful: protecting against all attacks, resisting invasion of souls or minds, and greatly improving the efficiency of gaining experience in all things you do.
This set of skills will first increase the holder's defense to the maximum, and then make him learn everything very quickly, and most of the things he encounters are good things.
It can be said that any ordinary person who is picked over here, with the help of these runes, will definitely become a winner in life in a very short period of time, and will have no obvious shortcomings.
Levi decided to give a set to each of the girls when he returned. Even for someone like Carol who was already very strong, it would definitely be of great assistance.
The only problem is that these runes are generally quite large. If they really want to wear one of each, they'll probably have to string them together into a large necklace and wear it around their necks.
There is nothing special next. It is just the various spoils collected by Odin during his conquest of the Nine Realms.
Such as the bows and arrows of the light elves, the flaming swords of the fire giants, the shields of the ice giants, various enchanted items of Vanaheim, etc.
It looks quite novel, but in terms of actual power, it is no more than comparable to the new type of helmet.
Levi just took some of them as souvenirs. Anyway, these things were nothing compared to Angela's life to Asgard.
Then there are the various equipment made by the dwarves using the Uru gold. These equipment include not only weapons, but also bracelets, wrist guards, chest guards and the like.
Levi also collected a large pile of goods as if he was purchasing new merchandise.
People like Skye will definitely spend much more time on the streets of New York than anywhere else.
If they directly use the power of the Nova to deal with ordinary thugs, it would be an overreaction.
These equipment made of Uru Divine Gold are a good choice and will not be particularly eye-catching.
In this way, Levi picked and chose along the way, and he collected hundreds or thousands of items. Many exhibition stands were simply emptied by him. This time he really came to purchase goods.
And it's not just all kinds of equipment, there are also some spell knowledge, precious materials and so on.
It is not known exactly how many years Odin lived, but Thor once claimed while drinking and bragging that Odin had defeated the Balrog - Surtur 500,000 years ago.
No matter how much you discount it, he will definitely live a very long time.
In this case, the things here are quite rich in both variety and quantity, and Levi even discovered a lot of things from outer space.
He was not particularly surprised, for Odin's main achievement was his conquest of the Nine Realms, which established Asgard's current special status.
The question then arises, how do the forces in the universe, such as the Supreme Lord and the Nova Corps, know of his power and show him such respect?
Of course it was typed out!
It's not a fight with ordinary aliens, but a fight with the gods behind those aliens.
Whether the defeated gods did it voluntarily or not, they would definitely order their people to give the Asgardians more face, so as to avoid being picked on and beaten by Odin again.
Heimdall, on the other hand, seemed to be happier and happier. Levi had done so many things for Asgard, and would almost certainly do more.
For example, saving Balder, looking after Thor and Loki, and fighting the giant snake.
There is no doubt about the magnitude of this favor.
What Odin and Frigga were most worried about before was actually that Levi would take nothing.
If Levi doesn't even like the things here, it means he wants more!
By then, they would probably not be able to produce anything more valuable except Odin's spear, Kungunir.
Now Levi is quite satisfied with these things, which allows them to completely put their minds at ease.
After a little time, Levi finally reached the end of the treasure house.
Then he saw a broken two-handed sword and a body covered with scars, with only the eyes exposed in full armor.
His expression suddenly became a little strange: "These two things, are they okay?"
Heimdall nodded vigorously: "His Majesty said that everything here is up to you to choose!"
"But they were all damaged in the previous war. I'm afraid it will take a lot of resources and energy for them to be repaired by professional blacksmiths like the Dwarf King."
Levi was quite impressed: "His Majesty Odin didn't repair them. Does he think they are useless?"
Heimdall didn't respond, but to be honest, he felt that it was true.
Levi could also roughly understand it, because this sword and this set of armor both exist to fight against specific enemies.
The name of the sword is Odin's Fire, or Odin's Wrath, and the name of the armor is Destroyer. Both of them are undoubtedly artifacts among artifacts, and their power may be even greater than that of Meow Hammer or Stormbreaker.
But their power can only be maximized when fighting against the Gods!
The former can break through or even ignore most of the defenses of the God Group, including physical defenses and energy defenses.
The latter can draw power from the outside world and greatly enhance the user's overall strength in a short period of time.
In ancient times, Odin received power from many native gods of the Earth, including Zeus, and his strength became unprecedentedly powerful.
When facing off against the God Group, he immediately killed one of them in one second.
In the end, the Celestials relied on their numerical advantage to defeat Odin.
Despite this, that battle still demonstrated the power of the gods of Earth. After negotiations and consultations, the gods finally decided to evacuate the Earth collectively and no longer use the Earth as their testing ground.
However, Levi had clearly learned from Ares before that there were still many Eternals remaining on Earth.
Among them, Tina even joined the Greek pantheon and became the representative of Athena on Earth.
In most parallel universes, these Eternals are honest and obedient. While they are dedicated to eliminating their enemies, the Deviants, they occasionally act as superheroes and save humanity.
But in some worlds, they have another mission, which is to protect the young celestial beings - Tiamut - buried deep inside the earth until they are successfully hatched.
This is the task assigned to them by another elite group of gods - Judge Alisem.
However, most of them did not know their true mission until the last moment, and they also knew that the successful hatching of Tiamut would mean the destruction of the entire earth.
If it is the latter, the behavior of Judge Alisem will undoubtedly seriously violate the agreement signed by the Celestial Gods and the Earth Gods.
Not to mention, the earth is the heart of eternity, and there are a bunch of powerful people secretly. If Alisem really has this plan, it will undoubtedly touch the bottom line.
When the matter was exposed, his body and that of the young god group would most likely be buried together.
But before personally confirming these things, Levi could not be 100% sure in which direction the world would develop.
In this way, the chance of a showdown with the God Group is not completely zero.
Alisem is a member of the elite group of gods, and his strength is even stronger than that of Uncle Tun when he is hungry. Levi feels that if he does not use the power gem, he has no chance of winning at all.
Of course, his goal was not to kill the other party, but if he did not show enough strength, how could he convince the other party and even make the other party verbally acknowledge that he was a friend?
But now, there is a new possibility.
With his mind racing, Levi made a decision immediately: "I want these two things too, and I ask Asgard to help me repair them as soon as possible."
"In return, I will try to rescue Balder and face the threat of the Serpent together with Asgard!"
Meowth Hammer and Stormbreaker each have only one, but Orochi has eight hammers.
Even though their power is a little weaker, it is still more than enough for Skye and the others to use. Sooner or later, he will destroy Orochi's equipment!
(End of this chapter)
