Kei's gaze swept over Odin, who was riding his horse. Seeing no trait interface, he furrowed his brows slightly.
Has Odin's temper really improved that much after all these years?
Or is it just that he arrived at this particular point in the timeline, right before he is about to fall into the Odinsleep, just as in the original story?
Even Laufey, is about to drag Frigga into a party, and yet, he only descended with a mere divine avatar?
Aside from that horse named Sleipnir and Gungnir, he didn't bring anything truly valuable.
Kei kept complaining. His eyes lowered slightly as he fixed his gaze on Gungnir.
As the weapon that accompanied Odin in his conquests and battles against external enemies, Gungnir was also known as the Spear of Heaven. Its shaft was made from the branches of Yggdrasil, and its spearhead was forged from the magical metal Uru.
With the power of the World Tree, the magical Uru metal tempered by stellar energy, and the reinforcement of runic inscriptions, this spear possesses the ability to store immense amounts of magical energy and wields three distinct laws or conceptual powers.
The first concept: Inevitable Strike.
Once thrown, unless countered or defended against by an equally powerful concept, it would guaranteed pierce through the enemy multiple times!
The second concept: Oath.
Any vow sworn upon this spear would be recorded by the power of the concept. Unless one can resist conceptual forces or perishes, the oath must be fulfilled.
The third concept: Eternity.
Unless the power of the concept was completely erased, the spear would never be destroyed, disappear, or deteriorate!
Is this thing EX-tier?
Kei raised an eyebrow.
The threefold conceptual power of Gungnir, combined with [Infinite Armory Domain ]'s ability to replicate weapon attributes, had only managed to copy two of them.
Inevitable Strike and Oath.
However, the concept of Eternity didn't seem that important for someone who could create as many replicas as needed. On the contrary, the Oath concept was quite intriguing.
Perhaps to Marvel's top-tier powerhouses, such restrictions could be easily broken, but for those who had never come into contact with conceptual forces, this ability would be incredibly useful.
If I place this thing at the entrance of a bar or hotel, there'd be thunderstorms every day.
A mischievous smirk curled at the corner of his lips. He had made up his mind, if anyone dared to swear an oath in front of him, he would immediately pull out the spear.
He didn't even have to use his replication ability, it was a free conceptual ability handed to him.
Odin still had some good stuff after all.
Boom—!
Laufey was sent flying by Gungnir's attack, crashing through countless snow-covered peaks. With an expression full of menace, he looked up at Odin, who stood tall amid the glow of the Bifröst.
"Odin!"
A furious growl spread alongside the chilling power of frost. But despite his seemingly enraged and oppressive expression, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Losing to an unknown invader would be embarrassing. But losing to Odin? That was perfectly normal.
If he could defeat Odin… Would the throne of the Nine Realms really belong to him?
"Your greatest obstacle in Jotunheim has always been your savagery, brutality, primitiveness, and crudeness," Odin's divine avatar said coldly, gazing down at Laufey with an air of superiority.
"You better stay strong forever," Laufey retorted, his voice icy cold, carried by the freezing winds that swept across Jotunheim.
His towering 200-meter form gradually dissipated its frost energy, returning to a normal size. It was clear that he no longer intended to participate in the upcoming battle. By luring Odin here, his goal had already been achieved.
Odin was the Lord of the Nine Realms, wasn't he?
If this powerful enemy suddenly appearing in Jotunheim was a problem, it was Odin's problem to solve, not his.
And if Odin got seriously injured in the process...
A sinister gleam flickered through his crimson-orange eyes.
"Tsk—" Kei clicked his tongue.
The words sounded tough, but that move of dispersing his power? That looked way too familiar.
The Frost Giant had clearly figured out Odin's temperament. Glancing at Laufey's system traits, Kei found them disappointing and turned his attention back to Odin.
Why would he waste his Trait Duplications on Laufey when he could replicate Odin, the Ancient One, Dormammu, or Eternity instead? That would be a total waste!
"Dimensional Demon God, this is not a place for you."
Odin no longer paid any attention to Laufey. Instead, his one-eyed gaze fell on Kei, who was slowly retracting his golden-armored giant form.
???!!!
Wait… I'm THAT powerful?!
Hearing Odin address him as a Dimensional Demon God, the first thing that popped into his mind was Dormammu, one of Marvel's major villains and the absolute ruler of the Dark Dimension.
He wielded unparalleled power and near-infinite resources. Within his domain, he was almost immortal and indestructible, capable of effortlessly manipulating elements, altering reality, and transcending time and space.
Hmm?
Kei was momentarily stunned.
Thinking about it… a lot of the things Dormammu could do, he could also do, just not at the same ridiculous level.
And besides… He turned his focus inward, surveying his Infinite Realm and [Infinite Armory Domain].
Within the Infinite Realm, which was just like Kaguya's Dimensions, he had separated and established different zones—Eden, the Great Dark Sky, the Gravity Space, the Lava Space…
And also that unique ability inspired by Kaguya—a pervasive energy network spread throughout the Infinite Realm, allowing him to draw upon its limitless power at any time.
Wait a second… He actually did have the makings of a Dimensional Demon God?!
"Well, let me introduce myself—I'm Kei. As for where I'm from… uh, Midgard?"
His mind was racing with countless thoughts, but his mouth didn't slow down for a second.
Odin's single eye narrowed slightly as he scrutinized this so-called Dimensional Demon God from Midgard.
After a five or six-second silence, as if receiving a transmission from his true self, Odin's tone deepened.
"Why are you in Jotunheim?"
"Time-space traversal. I'm not very skilled at it yet, so there were some… minor errors and accidents." Kei casually made up an excuse.
In the Marvel universe, crossing dimensions, realities, and multiverses wasn't exactly unheard of among the strongest beings. Ending up in a completely different world?
Yeah… sounds about right.
"I can send you to Midgard."
"Actually, I've long admired the legendary golden kingdom of Asgard, said to be located at the top of the World Tree. Wouldn't it be possible for me to visit as a guest?"
Kei grinned.
Odin's bloodline only got stronger with age. Wouldn't it be a waste not to duplicate his powers?
Not to mention, Asgard had more than just him, there was Thor, Loki, Frigga—their system traits should be pretty impressive too.
Oh, and let's not forget Odin's vault! That place was a treasure trove of relics he had collected across the Nine Realms:
The Casket of Ancient Winters.
Eternal Flame.
Crown of Black Fire.
Destroyer.
The Tablet of Life and Time
Just thinking about it made his itch to get in.
Odin's expression softened, a kind and benevolent smile appearing on his face. He gave a slight nod, seemingly acknowledging Kei's praise of Asgard.
Just as Kei was expecting the old man to extend an invitation to visit Asgard—
Odin softly said, "No."
"..." Kei's smile froze.
The hell?!
If you were gonna say no, why the hell did you smile like that?!
What a waste of my expectations!
And also… His body is definitely not in good condition!
Odinsleep?
What number Odinsleep is this?!
