Chapter 246 Odin’s Teachings

Odin knew that he might not have much time left. Although their lineage of the God King had a long lifespan, the power in their bodies would continue to increase with the growth of energy. The reason why Odin was currently in a deep sleep was to calm the power of Odin in his body.

Therefore, in his later years, Odin did not want to add a powerful enemy to Asgard. Instead, he chose to go with the flow and gave the Cosmic Cube to Noah, giving Asgard another powerful ally. In this way, even after he went to Valhalla, Asgard would be able to obtain the full support of this powerful ally when it encountered major difficulties.

"Thor, after I leave, the entire Asgard will be handed over to you to manage." Odin said earnestly and patted Thor on the shoulder.

"Father... am I... really ready?" Although it was just an illusion, Thor could feel the warmth of Odin's palm. Thor's voice trembled a little. He had never been ready to accept the heavy fact that his father was about to leave. At the same time, he did not have the confidence that he could manage and protect the people of Asgard as well as his father.

Seeing this, Odin patted Thor's shoulder again, this time with greater force than last time, as if he wanted to pass on his strength and wisdom to him.

"Thor, you have great power, but that is not enough to make you a true leader. You need wisdom, courage and decisiveness. These are the reasons for you to become king!"

Thor's eyes turned from confusion to determination, and then he reached out and covered Odin's hand on his shoulder, and said firmly: "Father, I will remember your teachings and use my strength and wisdom to protect Asgard!"

Odin smiled at Thor, his eyes gleaming with pride and expectation. He knew that his son was ready to face the challenges ahead this time.

"Go back, Thor, and do what you should do." Odin patted Thor's hand, then slowly disappeared.

Thor took a deep breath to calm his excitement and anxiety.

"Heimdall, I have to go. Please take me back." Thor shouted towards the door. He knew that Heimdall was waiting outside the fortress.

Heimdall did not respond to him, but the next moment, Thor found himself back at the banquet from the Rainbow Bridge Fortress, and Loki was waving his hands in front of him.

"Pa~" Thor slapped Loki's hand.

"Ouch!~" Loki cried out in pain.

"Loki, what are you doing?" Thor's expression had returned to normal, and he looked at Loki and asked.

Loki shook his hands and glanced at the people around him. He found that they didn't notice him and were still thinking and discussing about the Infinity Stones. He straightened his suit collar, looked at Thor and asked:

"That was Heimdall just now? What did he want to talk to you about?"

"My father wants to see me for something." Thor replied.

"Father? He's not..." Loki was puzzled. Shouldn't Odin still be in Odinsleep? How could he get up and talk to Thor?

"In short, you'd better give up those thoughts you just had. Father has decided to give the Cosmic Cube to Noah for safekeeping." Thor stared at Loki and patted him on the shoulder.

"What?!" Loki slapped Thor's hand away and frowned.

"Loki, if you have anything to say, let's go back and talk about it." Seeing that Loki wanted to say something, Thor took the initiative to stop him. Thor didn't intend to continue discussing these things here.

Loki stared at Thor angrily for a while, then under his firm gaze, he snorted coldly and went to drink alone. From Thor's eyes, Loki felt that something had changed in his brother.

And Noah, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two brothers, began to ponder slightly.

During that time, Thor seemed to have had a secret conversation with Odin in Asgard, and Noah remembered that Heimdall did have such ability. And now according to what Thor said to Loki after returning here, Odin seemed to have decided to give him the Cosmic Cube.

Noah pondered for a moment and understood why Odin made such a decision. He also knew that he could not give up the Cosmic Cube, so he took this opportunity to transfer the ownership of the Cosmic Cube directly to himself.

"Emm, that's fine, this way it won't be so embarrassing."

Noah also knew what Odin wanted. Odin was nearing the end of his life, and without his protection, Thor could not cope with many difficulties. So Odin probably wanted to build a good relationship with him, hoping that he could help him in the future when Asgard was in danger.

As for when Asgard will be in danger, Noah knows a lot about it. Asgard's next crisis will be when the Dark Elves are awakened by the Aether particles and invade Asgard.

At that time, Noah, who intends to collect all the gems, will certainly get involved, and the power of the ether particles, that is, the reality gems, is very powerful. If the user can master the full power of the reality gems, they can turn all their dreams into reality. From modifying the laws of physics and chemistry at will to directly creating reality or erasing objects, as long as you have enough power to support these changes.

In the original timeline, Thanos used the six gems to directly wipe out half of the life in the universe, which was mostly achieved by relying on the power of the Reality Stone. It's just that the power of a single gem is not enough for Thanos to change the reality of the entire universe, so Thanos needs to collect six gems. Otherwise, only one Reality Stone is needed for Thanos to realize his wish.

"Speaking of which, does this count as me stealing another gem from Asgard?" Noah thought.

But on second thought, since Asgard doesn't want this thing anyway, it wouldn't be too much to take it away by myself, right? Noah remembered that in Thor 2, after Thor and his companions defeated the dark elves and took back the Aether particles again, they did not put them in the treasury of Asgard, but instead gave them to the Collector in the void. The Collector is the merchant who traded the Power Stone with Star-Lord and his companions in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1. He is the younger brother of the Supreme Lord. He is very powerful in the comics, but in the movie he seems to be just an ordinary old man. Not long after he got the Reality Stone, he was robbed by Thanos.

Odin obviously doesn't dare to touch the power of the Infinity Stones now, for fear of bringing disaster to Asgard. Since they don't want them, Noah will accept them without hesitation.
