As Odin snapped back to reality, he saw Hela laughing uncontrollably and Thor standing stunned, his lips twitching.
"But you never said it... I am part of the price too."
Kino looked around, seeing nothing but broken walls and ruins.
He took out the Time Stone and began to reverse time.
A green magic circle enveloped the surroundings.
Under the magic circle's influence, the shattered rocks gradually returned to their original state. The collapsed buildings rose from the ground, and the pits in the earth slowly began to fill up.
Everything was rapidly recovering, as if time was rewinding, returning to its former state.
Kino sat down on the throne.
"Odin, let's begin."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Odin raised the Eternal Spear, and a golden beam of light shot up into the sky, instantly turning the azure sky into a blinding golden hue.
The people of Asgard knew that the succession ceremony had begun.
They rushed from all directions toward the column of light.
Soon, the area around the throne was filled with people.
"My people, I am Odin Borson, King of the Gods!"
Odin's voice echoed throughout Asgard.
Everyone watched their new God King.
"Today, I abdicate, and the Demon King Kino will take my place as the new God King. May you lead the Nine Realms to true peace."
With that, Odin slightly bowed and handed over the Eternal Spear.
The moment Kino grasped the Eternal Spear, a powerful and mysterious force surged from the spear into his body. His consciousness seemed to connect with the very source of Asgard.
In an instant, his vision pierced through countless layers of space, seeing the mountains, rivers, cities, and villages of the Nine Realms. He also keenly sensed the current state of decay in Asgard.
The people of Asgard raised their right fists, placing them over their left chest, and knelt on one knee.
"Great God King, may your wisdom shine like the stars and guide Asgard forward!" xN
Thor, Heimdall, Frigga...
Everyone showed complete obedience, their eyes filled with respect.
Kino raised an eyebrow. It was too easy; he was planning to establish dominance, but now, he would change his approach.
Chapter 241: The Spindle of Fate (2/2)
Kino took out the Infinity Gauntlet and put it on.
Odin and Hela's eyes twitched.
Especially Odin—if you had that, you should have used it earlier. There wouldn't have been a need for a fight.
"Fate Reveals!"
Snap!
With the sound of a crisp snap, a powerful energy emanated from Kino and quickly spread outward.
The people of Asgard suddenly saw white threads appear on their bodies.
Common Asgardians had only one or two threads, while powerful figures like Hela and Thor were covered in dozens, if not hundreds, of threads.
Odin, however, was even more dramatic—he was almost entirely covered in thousands of these threads, like a giant ball of yarn.
"What is this?"
The people of Asgard looked at the threads in confusion.
Heimdall reacted quickly, drawing his weapon and slashing at the threads, but his weapon passed through as if cutting air, with no resistance.
"Fate's threads," Odin murmured, looking at the threads on his body.
"To hell with fate!"
Hela, always proud, couldn't tolerate being bound by these threads. She erupted with emerald divine power, trying to break free.
The threads quivered slightly, but they were far from being destroyed.
"Are you really courting death?"
Kino looked up at the sky, where countless threads descended like giant white serpents, frantically wrapping around him.
"Destruction!"
Kino snapped his fingers again.
Whoosh—
A vast sea of fire appeared out of nowhere, rapidly surrounding the people of Asgard.
"Ah... It doesn't hurt?"
At first, the people were startled, but then they saw the flames on their bodies, which weren't harming them, but instead were burning away the threads.
The flames followed the descending threads, continuously burning upward as if trying to find their source and eliminate it completely.
Suddenly, the threads in the sky snapped in mid-air.
The flames continued to burn, destroying the remaining threads, and did not stop.
The force Kino had commanded was destruction, and the flames would not cease until the source of those threads was destroyed.
Finally, the hidden forces could no longer sit idly by.
"Stop!"
"Criminal!"
"You are destroying Asgard!"
Three figures dressed in black robes appeared in the sky, glaring at Kino.
"The Three Fates, come down!"
Odin shouted angrily, unleashing a massive surge of divine power.
Under the immense pressure, the Three Fates had no choice but to descend uncontrollably, crashing down into the ground.
Boom, boom, boom!
The Three Fates crashed into the earth, creating three large craters.
The flames continued to burn along the threads.
"God King!"
"Stop now!"
"Please, don't continue!"
The Three Fates, watching the fire spread, anxiously begged.
If it stopped now, there was still a chance for recovery. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Heh, you just called me a criminal, now you're calling me God King, how shameless."
Kino sneered.
"It was our offense."
"We are guilty."
"What you're doing will destroy Asgard."
The Three Fates didn't care about Kino's mockery.
Once all the threads were burned away, Asgard would face certain destruction.
The people of Asgard were in disbelief.
But after feeling the freedom from the threads, they felt lighter and remembered the great power of their God King, so they trusted him.
"Isn't destruction better? It's better than being raised as cattle, slaughtered for meat."
"Endless Ragnarok, do you really care about Asgard?"
The people of Asgard looked stunned.
"Ragnarok? Isn't that just a myth?"
"I don't know, but from what the God King said, Ragnarok isn't a one-time event."
"What does being raised as cattle mean?"
"The sky is cracking?!"
A startled cry rose from the crowd as they looked up at the sky.
The flames continued to burn, destroying all the threads, fading into nothingness.
Crack, crack—
The sky suddenly cracked, the cracks spreading and breaking apart.
A hidden space above Asgard appeared.
The Spindle of Fate, which controlled Asgard's fate, appeared, glowing gold to resist the flames of destruction, but was slowly being burned away.
"They're too strong. Only if we meet their demands will Asgard survive."
"In our weaving, the future Thor Odinson will become a rune king beyond Odin, and that will be the moment for change."
"It's too early now; Asgard will be destroyed."
The Three Fates looked at the Spindle of Fate in the sky, their faces filled with sadness and despair.
They didn't want to manipulate fate anymore.
Their mission was to follow fate, but these beings were too powerful.
However, the force behind them was even stronger, and they were powerless to resist, forced to obey.
But secretly, they had been waiting for someone who could break this cycle.
Rune King Thor was the beacon of hope they had carefully guided to appear in the river of fate. They believed that he would defeat the gods above gods, destroy the Spindle of Fate, and allow Asgard to survive once more.
Until that moment, the Spindle of Fate could never be destroyed.
Hela understood the situation now—her entire life had been controlled by these despicable Fates.
Thinking about this made her tremble with rage, and she wanted to rush up and tear these "bitches" apart.
Thor was thinking about what they had just mentioned—the Rune King Thor, stronger than Odin. Could he defeat Hela? He would ask about it later.
