That night, Thor tasted for the first time the pain that Odin had tasted for so many years.
Reform sounds simple, but it still requires consideration of many factors. First and foremost, the most urgent thing is to divide the powers and responsibilities of the twelve ceremonial members, including the chief ceremonial officer Saul, and then select suitable people based on these powers and responsibilities.
Because Thor proposed the reform to Odin temporarily, there has been no time to discuss these things. Only some people who will enter the council have been temporarily determined.
The Asgardians value bravery, but they are not stupid. Once the council system was announced, it was instantly remembered by countless interested people. Many of these people have high qualifications, strong strength, and strong connections, and they are competing for the remaining few ceremonial positions.
"Aren't you going to help him?" Odin asked Frigga who was walking over while listening to the noisy quarrel in the palace. He felt relaxed after leaving his post.
"No, he will have to learn to deal with this kind of thing eventually. Besides, we are leaving soon. I still want to see more of this country with you in the last moments. I don't know when we will come back next time."
Frigga stood beside Odin, and together they looked out over the country where they had lived together for thousands of years.
"Actually, if you don't want to leave, you can stay with them. I'll go out for a walk by myself." Odin suddenly spoke. He had been restricted to Asgard by responsibilities and rights for hundreds of thousands of years. In the last moments of his life, he wanted to leave the Nine Realms and even leave this world to go somewhere else.
"Come on, you still want to travel far away without me? You can't even cook or talk." Frigga said and patted Odin gently. Since they got married, Odin has never worried about these trivial matters. All of them were handled by Frigga herself.
Frigga was really afraid that Odin would still act like the king of Asgard after he went out, and other places might not buy into his tricks. Then Odin's travel would become about fighting wherever he went.
Odin held Frigga's hand. After leaving office, Frigga was his whole world. Everything else, whether it was the prophecy or his children, was no longer something he considered.
"Let's go, first to the Rainbow Bridge, then to Midgard to meet up with old friends, then we should leave."
At the Rainbow Bridge Palace, Odin pushed open the door and Heimdall stood in the middle of the palace holding a broken sword, as if he had been waiting for them here for a long time.
"Heimdall, why are you here? Didn't you go to discuss the selection of ceremonial officers with Thor?" Odin looked at the veteran and said with a smile.
In fact, no matter whether it is Odin or Heimdall, they both know in their hearts as clearly as a mirror that Heimdall must be one of the Twelve Orders. If not for anything else, he cannot be missing just for his ability. Without him, the Rainbow Bridge can only become a star-destroying weapon, and the teleportation function can basically be turned off.
Heimdall, who was wearing full armor, bowed and greeted him, "Captain Thor asked me to wait for you here."
"Him? What does he want to say?" Odin was a little curious about what Thor wanted to say through Heimdall's mouth.
Heimdall opened his palm towards Odin, and in his palm was a miniature Thor's hammer.
"This is his gift to you."
Odin stretched out his hand and summoned the Thor's hammer, which was so big that it could only be used as a pendant. After getting it in his hand, Odin found that the material used to make this pendant was the same material he used to make Thor's hammer, and the pendant also contained pure Thor's power.
"The headmaster said that he had understood that the hammer in his hand was the real Thor's hammer. The others were all fakes."
Listening to Heimdall's retelling, Odin smiled with relief, thinking that he had trained a pretty good leader.
"Heimdall, open the Rainbow Bridge and head to Midgard." Odin put away the mini Thor's hammer and said after pulling Frigga onto the Rainbow Bridge.
Inside the palace, Thor, who was listening to the argument below, felt the vibration of the Rainbow Bridge being activated, and subconsciously touched the Thor's hammer in his hand which was missing a piece.
After sending out some of the materials, Thor discovered a problem. That is, with his current strength, the materials for Thor's hammer cannot be made for the time being. So after sending out some of them, he can only use the slightly incomplete weapon for the time being. This is the consequence of over-pretending.
"Father, have a safe trip." Thor looked up and thought to himself.
Earth, New York City, with everyone working together, Malekith's invasion completely failed, and nine out of ten dark elves were left on Earth. In order to preserve this last bit of seed, Malekith had the courage to fight until the last moment, and with his own life, he allowed some of the dark elves to return to Watalheim through the space gate.
When Odin was choosing the landing site, he did not choose New York. After all, he was not here to cause trouble. Their landing site was the Himalayas, which was also the residence of Ancient One.
Before going to the temple, Odin saw another familiar face.
Qi Yun's projection crossed the street and came to Odin. "Odin, do you have time to chat?"
"Of course, what I have the most now is free time."
Odin now looks like a retired grandfather, and has none of the domineering aura that Qi Yun had when he first met him.
The two walked together to a protruding mountain peak.
"If you are here to persuade me to join the main god space, then forget it. I just came out of a small vortex and don't want to step into a big vortex." Odin spoke first while looking at the snow below.
"It seems like you know us very well." Qi Yun was a little surprised. The last time they met, Odin seemed to have not heard much about the main god space.
"I don't know a lot. I just read some records and know some things that happened in the past." After Odin finished speaking, he took out a book and handed it to Qi Yun without waiting for Qi Yun to ask.
"In Asgard's millions of years of history, this book is the only one that mentions you. I didn't understand what it said at first, but now I understand a little bit. You can take it back and have a look."
Looking at Odin like this, Qi Yun knew that his persuasion would no longer be useful.
"If you change your mind or need any help, you are welcome to contact me again." After Qi Yun finished speaking, he took the book and left Odin.
After Qi Yun disappeared, Odin turned around, took a step, crossed the space and returned to Frigga.
Pulling along Frigga, who was looking at various accessories at the stall, Odin walked towards the temple on the top of the Himalayas, where Ancient One, who had negotiated the terms with Dormammu again, was waiting for him.
