Kei Yamanaka's eyes swept over Odin, who was riding his winged horse. Seeing no skill listing appear, he slightly furrowed his brows.
Has Odin genuinely mellowed with age?
Or is this timeframe exactly when Odin was about to enter his Odinsleep, according to the canon timeline?
Even Laufey, King of the Frost Giants, was forcefully dragging Frigga into a party.
And you're only sending down just a divine-level clone?
Other than that horse named Sleipnir and the Eternal Spear Gungnir, did you bring *any actual power* at all!?
He couldn't help but silently mock.
Kei lowered his gaze slightly, focusing on the legendary spear—Gungnir, the Eternal Lance.
Forged as the legendary weapon that accompanied Odin, Ruler of the Nine Realms, in countless battles against invaders, Gungnir was also known as the Spear of Fate. Its shaft was crafted from a branch of Yggdrasil, while its tip was forged from the top-tier magical metal known as Uru.
With the power of Yggdrasil, combined with Uru forged using stellar energy, and inscribed with runes—
The spear gained an immense capacity for storing magical energy, along with a total of three laws—or rather, conceptual forces!
First Concept: Guaranteed Hit!
Once thrown, unless opposed by a Concept of equal strength, it will pierce through the enemy one hundred percent!
Second Concept: Oath!
Once a vow is sworn before this spear, the Concept of Oath etches it into existence. Unless one can resist the force of the Concept itself or dies during the process, the oath will inevitably come true.
Third Concept: Eternal!
Unless the Concept itself is completely erased, the spear will never be destroyed, never disappear, and never degrade!
"Is this thing Ex-Rank?"
Kei's eyebrows slightly lifted as he turned his awareness toward his own Infinite Martial Domain.
Although the Eternal Spear possessed three layers of conceptual forces, Kei's golden skill listing [Limitless Weapon Domain] had only copied two of them:
Guaranteed Hit and Oath!
As for the concept of "Eternal," well… for someone like him who could endlessly create replicas, maybe it wasn't that important after all?
But this Oath concept… that one definitely had hidden potency.
For top-tier fighters in the Marvel Universe, such restrictions might be easy to break—but for those who hadn't encountered Concepts before, this ability would prove extremely useful!
"If I placed this at a bar or hotel entrance, every oath-breaker would summon a storm!"
A faintly twisted smile curled on Kei's face.
He immediately decided—if anyone dared to swear an oath in front of him later, he'd be pulling out this spear without hesitation!
A Conceptual-Tier technique gained for free—without spending a single Keyword Copy chance.
Old man Odin really knows what he's doing!
Boom! Boom!
Struck by Gungnir, the Frost Giant King Laufey flew backward, crashing through countless snow-covered mountains.
His face darkened as he lifted his gaze, glaring at Odin standing tall atop the radiant Bifrost Bridge.
"Odin Borson!"
An angry growl rumbled, spreading waves of icy fury in all directions.
Yet beneath his furious snarl, Laufey quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be embarrassing for him to lose against an unknown invader, but wasn't it perfectly normal to fail to defeat Odin?
If he could actually win.
Would Odin even sit upon the throne of the Nine Realms?
"Laufey, savagery, violence, and barbarism are the greatest obstacles preventing your people from leaving Jotunheim."
Odin's divine clone cast a cold glare toward Laufey, who now appeared visibly worn down.
He spoke with that condescending tone again, as though preaching from on high.
"…You'd better stay strong—forever!"
Laufey's voice, sharp with frost, carried across half of Jotunheim along with piercing cold winds.
His massive figure, over two hundred meters tall, gradually dissipated his frost aura and returned to his regular size—he clearly no longer intended to get involved in what was about to unfold.
Luring Odin here had already fulfilled his purpose. After all, wasn't Odin the ruler of the Nine Realms?
This powerful enemy who suddenly appeared in Jotunheim—
Who else but Odin should handle it?
Defeating this foe was simply Odin's duty. And if Odin ended up severely wounded...
A flicker of crimson passed through Laufey's orange-red eyes.
"Tch…"
Kei clicked his tongue.
Talk was tough, sure, but voluntarily dispersing his own power? No matter how you looked at it, that looked like retreating!
Laufey must've figured out Odin's personality by now!
Glancing at this Ice Giant King's skill listings, Kei turned away in disdain before shifting his gaze back to Odin.
With three Keyword Copy opportunities in hand,
wouldn't copying Odin, or Ancient One, or Dormammu, or Eternal be better?
Copying Laufey? That'd just be a waste of opportunity!
"Dimensional Demon God, this place is not for you to desecrate."
Odin ignored Laufey no further and instead turned his gaze toward Kei Yamanaka, who was slowly withdrawing the golden-armored giant.
???!!!
Am I really this powerful!?
Upon hearing how Odin addressed him, the first image popping into Kei's mind was that of Dormammu.
As one of the major Big Bads of the Marvel world—the absolute ruler of the Dark Dimension—
Dormammu possessed unmatched power and near-limitless resources. Within the Dark Dimension, he was practically immortal, capable of manipulating elements, altering reality, transcending space-time itself...
Huh?
Kei blinked. Many of the things Dormammu could do... strangely sounded familiar. He could do most of them too—just nowhere near as strongly as Dormammu could.
Plus...
Looking inward at his vast [Boundless Realm] and [Infinite Martial Domain]—
and within the [Boundless Realm] were spaces he had carved out such as Chen Ge Hu, Daikokuten, Gravity Dimension, Lava Dimension...
And then there was the ability he had learned from Kaguya Otsutsuki's [Origin Chakra Sphere Space]—a force permeating the entire [Boundless Realm], allowing him to freely draw energy as needed.
Hmm...
Didn't he really kind of resemble a Dimensional Demon God after all?
"Erm, allow me to introduce myself—I'm Zhongjing Shan. From Midgard, yeah?"
Thoughts raced rapidly through Kei's mind, yet his mouth worked just as fast.
Odin's single eye narrowed slightly as he scrutinized this 'Dimensional Demon God' standing before him, claiming to be from Midgard.
After five or six seconds of silence, as if receiving a transmission from his true self,
he intoned solemnly.
"Kei Yamanaka, why are you here in Jotunheim?"
"Just some issues with space-time transitions. I'm still a bit rusty with it, so there are always some errors and unexpected mishaps."
Kei Yamanaka replied with a casual shrug.
After all, traversing across dimensions and realities wasn't unusual for the greatest strongest warrior in the Marvel universe.
Traveling to an entirely different world...
Yeah, that makes sense!
"I can send you to Midgard."
"Actually, I've always admired the majestic golden realm of Asgard sitting atop Yggdrasil. Would it be possible for me to pay a visit to this divine palace?"
Kei Yamanaka grinned.
King of the Gods, ruler of the Nine Realms, a Celestial-level powerhouse, and that legendary Asgardian bloodline.
Wouldn't it be great to copy some of that!
Besides, Asgard isn't just about Odin. There's also Thor the Thunder God, Loki the God of Mischief, and Frigga the Queen. Their skill sets must be incredible!
Oh right, not to mention Odin's treasure vault within the palace — where countless treasures were gathered from across the Nine Realms.
[Casket of Ancient Winters], [Eternal Flame], [Surtr's Crown], [Destroyer Armor], [Tablets of Life], [Eye of Agamotto]...
Odin offered a warm, kind smile, slightly nodding his thanks for Kei Yamanaka's praise toward Asgard.
As Kei Yamanaka assumed the old man would naturally invite him to visit Asgard,
Odin spoke softly.
"No."
"..."
Kei Yamanaka's expression twitched slightly.
What the heck!
If you're going to say no, why smile like that?!
Major letdown!
And seriously, this old guy must have something wrong with his body!
Is he entering the Odinsleep?
