Marvel: Killing Makes You Stronger

Chapter 77: Odin wants to meet Bi Xiao

"Someone wishes to meet you."

"Meet me?" Bi Xiao raised an eyebrow. To be aware of his presence and to convey a message through the Ancient One, he immediately deduced the person's identity: "The King of Asgard?"

"He is an extraordinary individual. With the power of his Odinforce, he can see through the very essence of the universe, down to its deepest levels."

"Asgard, like Earth, is a crucial part of this universe's evolution. Your emergence has triggered a series of chain reactions, impacting Asgard and disrupting many of his plans, so he wishes to meet you."

The Ancient One explained: "He is different from me. I have observed you for a long time, but he has not, which makes him very concerned."

"Is this a test for me?"

"No, you do not need anyone's test. Regardless of what happens during your meeting with Odin, he will not harm you in any way," the Ancient One said with certainty. Odin is indeed powerful, and to some extent, she and Odin have an understanding.

After all, as beings of the same rank, she might not be able to defeat Odin, but in his current state, the odds of mutual destruction were high if they clashed.

The Ancient One would die first, and Odin, unable to bear the ever-increasing vast divine power, would soon dissipate as well.

Originally, Earth was under Asgard's rule, but Odin and Asgardians were often preoccupied with other realms and rarely visited Earth, primarily due to the Ancient One.

Earth was tacitly acknowledged as her domain, though not officially declared, out of consideration for Odin.

Both sides were restrained by each other. Bi Xiao was the Ancient One's most significant investment, and she wouldn't let Odin jeopardize her project.

Moreover, the Ancient One knew that Odin's attitude towards Bi Xiao's emergence would not be extreme.

"When?"

Bi Xiao understood this point and realized that it wasn't necessary to think too deeply. The Ancient One bringing this up indicated her approval. His super senses didn't detect any danger, nor did he sense any malice from the Ancient One.

This meant the meeting would not be dangerous.

It's not that Bi Xiao was cowardly; he could be more assertive in front of the Ancient One due to two years of growth, which had pushed him beyond the limits of ordinary beings, entering the level of a demi-god. With his unique magical system, he could contend with the Ancient One, but Odin was another matter.

Odin was not a typical god. The deep heritage of the Odin family, combined with his accumulation of over half a million years, made him a true monster.

Despite Odin's impending death, this period was his peak. His death would be due to his body being unable to contain the massively growing power. Although his physical strength was terrifying, the energy accumulated over half a million years was even more so, hence the inability to bear it.

Even if he unleashed his full power once, he would die on the spot. The entire universe knew this, which was one of the main reasons no one dared to offend Asgard.

No one wanted to risk provoking the aged Odin; attempting that would be fatal.

Bi Xiao felt that the current Odin could easily defeat a Celestial.

After all, Odin had once faced nine Celestials alone. Despite being overpowered, with other factors in play, he still managed to cut off an arm, a remarkable feat.

Bi Xiao considered this meeting similar to an interview with the Ancient One.

The worst outcome of the interview might be a warning from Odin, but the best result could bring substantial benefits.

Asgard, surpassing Kamar-Taj, was a treasure trove that he couldn't resist tapping into.

Seeing Bi Xiao's calm expression, the Ancient One smiled. She knew this wouldn't intimidate him: "Odin has entered a deep slumber and will awaken in two years. When he does, I will inform you."

"Alright, use these two years to master magic fully; after that, you need not return."

With that, the Ancient One issued a polite yet firm dismissal.

Bi Xiao chuckled, understanding the hint, and promptly teleported away.

In the past two years at Kamar-Taj, he had frequently disturbed the Ancient One. Besides, he had also utilized many of the artifacts there, not for personal use but to analyze their structure. Without this, his arsenal wouldn't be so formidable.

No matter how indifferent the Ancient One seemed, she couldn't ignore someone continually taking advantage of her resources.

Luckily, the Eye of Agamotto was always around her neck; otherwise, Bi Xiao might have taken it for "study" as well.

Returning to the estate.

It was still the Swan Manor, though it had changed. Over the past two years, he had personally crafted a thirteen-layered magical barrier around it, incorporating concealment, defense, and attack features.

Similar to the New York Sanctum, where the magic barrier caused most passersby to overlook it.

His Swan Manor was the same.

Additionally, he had "slightly" modified the Blackbird II aircraft. Since acquiring teleportation magic, its original function had diminished, so it had undergone numerous magical experiments as a test subject.

The experiments were successful, without turning it into a sentient machine. However, the aircraft's exterior now bore many magical inscriptions, and even the fuel tank was modified for enhanced external defense and acceleration.

The need for fuel was replaced with a core magical device. By channeling magic into it, the core stored energy, functioning as a power source. During flight, the magic was converted into energy for propulsion.

The new speed was significantly higher, and its stealth capabilities were greatly enhanced, achieving complete magical invisibility, akin to entering a mirror dimension, unseen and immune to attacks from the real world.

The aircraft's appearance became more substantial, resembling an open-type flyer, black and phoenix-shaped, similar to the Golden Vimana.

However, he hadn't added offensive weapons, with potential future modifications in mind.

This was his most significant project over the past two years.
