Thanos didn't want to be a villain.

"Sol is fine, he just has a concussion, he'll recover after a good night's sleep."

In the hall, Dio gave Odin an awkward but polite smile and explained.

Hela recognized Thor, but he had been too unkempt lately, looking like a wild Tibetan Mastiff.

This is why Hela didn't recognize him immediately. It wasn't until she knocked Thor away that she realized the thing looked familiar. After thinking for a while, she realized that the big Tibetan Mastiff was Thor in disguise.

This matter is neither a huge nor a small one. After all, the former heir to the throne beat the current heir the moment he returned home. If this were a royal family on Earth, it would be a major event. But with Odin, it's up to him to decide what to do.

Odin remained expressionless, revealing neither joy nor anger. After the servants left, he sighed and said, "My dear daughter, I'm sorry to have you witness such a farce upon your return."

Hela rolled her eyes at her elderly father, said nothing, and turned to leave.

"I've spoiled Hela a bit with her temper. It's alright, I'll have her come back later." Dio, who had intended to be a bystander, saw Odin looking in his direction.

Faced with his father-in-law's gaze, having never encountered such a situation before in his two lifetimes, he chuckled awkwardly and lowered his stance to reply.

Odin shook his head and only spoke after seeing Frigga take Hela away from the doorway.

"I know about Hela. Her control over power is too extreme. If she could calm down and digest it properly, and work hard to explore her own potential, her power would be enough to surpass mine without relying on Asgard's blessing."

Dio was taken aback by Odin's direct question, then pondered Odin's words and was speechless.

Dio remembers Odin saying something like that about Thor in the movie, right?

What is this?

Versailles?

He boasted about the powerful genes of his Asha race, claiming that each generation of his descendants was stronger than the last.

Are his descendants Nanfu?

However, Dio was not surprised that Odin knew about Hela.

Putting aside the fact that Dio had informed Odin about Hela's situation before arriving, the center of the battlefield itself was not protected at all. Not to mention Heimdall, even Earth in the 21st century could see what was happening in the center of the battlefield through outdated space telescopes.

Then Dio spoke up, "Improving her strength has been a major concern for Hela. I wonder if you have any way to help her calm down and focus on her studies?"

Dio's idea was simple: to leave his wife with his father-in-law's family. After all, this was the best way to make steady progress. However, Hela's personality had been spoiled by Odin, and she was a restless person.

As expected, Odin shook his head.

“I have no way to keep her in Asgard, nor can I expect her to stay. Hela has a connection with Asgard, and since coming here, her physical strength, endurance, and recovery have reached a terrifying level. Even in my prime, I wouldn’t dare say I could easily suppress Hela, let alone with the people of Asgard.”

Dio rolled his eyes at Odin's words.

Still can't stabilize the voltage?

Although Odin in this world has never killed a Celestial while wearing the Destroyer armor, Odin the Father's fighting prowess is no exaggeration. Among the many cosmic gods of the City of Omnipotence, the Earth-side gods are the strongest.

Among the many gods of Earth, only the gods of Chinese, Greek, Egyptian, and Indian mythology were originally the most powerful.

Norse mythology, including Odin, and Japanese mythology stand out as particularly prominent among them.

The Japanese are able to rank among the top and be compared with the strongest of the four mythologies by relying on the evil god Tianjing Xing, one of the five great creator gods who was annihilated.

Although such clones could exist in every pantheon, Tianjin Wengxing was different. He was ambitious and had ideas. Before the rise of Japanese mythology, he had already taken steps to become the King of Chaos, but he was discovered by other pantheons immediately, and subsequently suppressed and sealed.

Even though he was blocked, he still managed to absorb the power of several gods before that, which made Japanese mythology worthy of being ranked.

Norse mythology, on the other hand, relied on Odin's formidable strength to maintain its dominance over Greek and Egyptian mythology.

Of course, over the years, these rankings have changed, and some mythical deities have fallen off the list due to various reasons such as neglecting their duties.

No, we've gone a bit off-topic.

However, it is undeniable that Odin's strength ranks among the top of all the gods in the universe. No joke, he could destroy as many planets as he wanted, like Earth.

Although this Odin isn't as twisted as the one in the comics, if you actually believe what he said earlier, well, that's just ridiculous.

Dio, for one, said he didn't believe a single punctuation mark!

“I spoke with the Celestial Venerable of China a while ago. He said that if you want to further improve your strength, you need to meditate. Fortunately, he has a place where he can help. After resting for a couple of days and getting to know Thor and the others, you can go there.” Odin sat down on a chair and let out a long sigh.

Dio was stunned for a moment.

To converse with the Celestial Venerable of China?

Is it the Jade Emperor, the Great Celestial Venerable?

Before Dio transmigrated, he had seen the Marvel version of the Jade Emperor, who seemed to have ascended to godhood from among mortals. He wore a green robe and looked like a large piece of jade from a distance.

In the movie Thor: Ragnarok, when Thor and his crew arrived at the City of the Almighty, Thor walked from the audience to Zeus, passing right in front of the Jade Emperor.

Because the Jade Emperor was so tall, Thor had to take big strides over his feet to get past him.

But could the place Odin mentioned, a place for meditation, be the secret realm of Tarot, the sacred site in the movie Shang-Chi?

"Oh? I wonder where the place is that can improve one's strength?" Dio pretended not to know and looked at Odin.

Odin thought for a moment: "It seems to be called Tarot. It's a sacred place on earth that can directly reach the Eastern Heavenly Court. To be honest, if the Jade Emperor hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't even know this place existed. Heimdall can't even see it."

"Since it's a place that leads directly to the Heavenly Court, why would the Heavenly Venerable send us there?" Dio asked, somewhat puzzled.

"You should know that we have never met or interacted with anyone in the City of Omnipotence. At most, we have met with his diplomats."

Odin smiled slightly upon hearing Dio's words: "Your power and strength are renowned throughout the universe. As a former Earth race, we Earth gods will certainly try to win you over and have you stand with us as a protector of Earth."

Dio understood; to put it bluntly, he was afraid the Celestials would cause trouble and wanted to recruit their fighting force.

Moreover, he, an Eternal Race member, was indeed born on Earth and is a natural-born Earthling. Although he didn't intervene when being hunted by the gods in the universe, it was clear that he hadn't yet demonstrated his value. Now, however, his value has become apparent. He controls a major power spanning nebulae, whose technology and strength are incredibly formidable, making him valuable to win over.

Dio sighed. Although this world does not follow the Dark Forest Law, the law of the jungle is still cruel.

In the end, Dio agreed to Odin's request and said he would go to Tarot and Hela to see if he could meditate for a while.

Let's see if there's any way to improve Hela's strength.
