In order to avoid causing a commotion at the banquet and wasting time, Thor put on a cloak and a hood at Lu Xiao's suggestion.
Most of the people at the banquet were busy with their own enjoyment. Only a few ladies close to Frigga noticed Thor's identity. They remained silent under Frigga's comfort.
Lu Xiao, who was following Thor, also deliberately lowered his presence and simply nodded to Frigga. The two of them entered the depths of the Golden Palace under the leadership of Frigga's designated maid.
Compared with the joy and excitement in the outer hall, the atmosphere in Odin's palace was very solemn.
Odin, who looked very weak, was lying in his own golden sleep chamber. A large number of therapists gathered around the sleep chamber, discussing treatment plans in low voices.
Judging from their sad expressions, the outcome of the discussion was obviously not very optimistic.
After entering the dormitory, Thor took off his hood and strode to the dormitory.
The healers around him hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Your Highness Thor."
Barely suppressing the anxiety in his heart, Thor put on a calm posture and said to them: "Thank you for your hard work. Please step aside for now and let me talk to my father."
"yes."
The first female therapist reminded: "His Majesty the God King is in very bad physical condition. Please try to reduce the time for talking."
Thor nodded calmly, "I'll keep a good balance."
After all the therapists exited the palace, Frigga's personal maid closed the door from the outside. Only three people, including Lu Xiao, were left in the palace.
"Huh~"
Odin opened the lid of the dormant chamber from the inside and stretched out his trembling hand towards Thor.
Thor hurriedly held his hand: "Father, I am here, you..."
"Haha~" Odin smiled with relief: "Don't feel sad for me. Even we, who are hailed as gods by the Midgardians, cannot escape the fate of death. This is just part of the law of nature."
Odin spent the first half of his life in conquests. Together with his eldest daughter Hela, he conquered a vast territory for Asgard. Even the arrogant Thanos was defeated by Odin.
Entering the second half of his life, Odin began to cultivate his mind and character. He stopped expanding and decided to consolidate Asgard's existing territory, replacing the early militarism with wise rule.
The merits and demerits of Odin's life will be judged by future generations. Lu Xiao is more concerned about how long Odin can last in his remaining life.
Even though he has entered the final stage of his life, Odin, a man of great talent and talent, would not drag Thor along to chat about everyday things.
After greeting Lu Xiao and Thor one after another, he directly brought the topic to the point.
"Thor, you must remember what I say next."
"Ahem~" Odin coughed lightly, held Thor's hand and said slowly: "Before you and Loki, I had an eldest daughter."
"Her name is Hela, she is your half-sister, the God of Death."
Suddenly hearing the shocking information from Odin's mouth, Thor's mind was still a little confused for a while.
"……What?"
"I also have a sister?"
Odin smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, before you were born, Hela assisted me in opening up Asgard's territory in the nine realms and killed countless people who resisted Asgard's rule."
"A country cannot continue to fight. After I thought that Asgard's territory was vast enough, I ordered to stop continuing the conquest and began to concentrate on governing the existing territory. As a result, Asgard entered a long-term
More than 1,000 years of peace.”
"Thor, you grew up in this background."
Odin sighed and said: "Hela is very dissatisfied with my decision to stockpile weapons. As time goes by, the ideological differences between us finally reach the point of being irreconcilable."
"Hela openly raised her flag to rebel, claiming to inherit my throne and continue to lead Asgard to expand outwards."
"As a last resort, I secretly persuaded the Valkyrie troops directly under Hela to defect in the face of battle."
"I succeeded. Hela has been sealed for thousands of years."
Odin looked at the ceiling of the palace and sighed: "Hela is like me. As long as she is connected to Asgard, her power is endless."
"The Valkyrie troops helped me hold off Hela at the cost of total destruction. I took the opportunity to banish her to Midgard, and when her power declined due to being far away from Asgard, I successfully sealed Hela.
The energy required to maintain the seal is provided by myself."
Having said this, Thor already understood the general situation.
"So, when your condition, father, becomes extremely weak, Hela will escape?"
"Yes."
Odin patted Thor's hand and solemnly warned: "Maintaining Hela's seal has placed a heavy burden on me. After the battle with Dormammu, my one eye saw part of the future."
Odin said calmly: "I will eventually die because of Hela. This is an unchangeable fate."
"Father..."
"Listen to me."
Odin interrupted Thor's comfort: "After I die, Hela will escape from the seal, and she will definitely try to rush back to Asgard to regain her power as soon as possible."
"You must stop her, strive to defeat the incomplete Hela in Midgard, and use Midgard's remaining spells to seal her again."
Odin turned to look at Lu Xiao: "Successor of the Ancient One, you don't want to see Hela causing a bloody storm in Midgard, right? Please help Thor, your good deeds will become the link between Asgard and
A bond of good relations in Midgard."
Lu Xiao shrugged and said, "I can promise you, but I also have a request."
"explain."
Odin half-closed one eye to rest his mind: "As long as it does not exceed Asgard's capabilities, I can make the decision and agree to it for you."
Lu Xiao said seriously: "God King, please rest assured, I am not trying to embarrass Asgard. This matter is also related to the survival of Asgard."
Odin opened his eyes suddenly, and his fierce momentum disappeared in a flash.
Lu Xiao was not intimidated by Odin's momentum. He calmly said three words: "Thanos."
Odin's eyes flashed, and then he said suddenly: "It turns out to be him... That's right, he will definitely take action after I die. With Thor's current strength, he is still no match for Thanos."
After a moment of silence, Odin looked at Lu Xiao and asked, "What is your request? Is it related to Thanos?"
Lu Xiao nodded: "I want to get the authorization from the God King so that Kamathaj can directly establish contact with the dwarves of Nidaville."
"Nidaville?"
A look of thought flashed across Odin's one eye. He was cunning and well-informed and quickly straightened out his thinking.
"I understand, Thanos wants to collect Infinity Stones?"
Odin had the same idea when he was young, and there was an unfinished version of the Infinity Gauntlet built by Eitri in his treasure house.
Unfortunately, the whereabouts of the Infinity Stones were too elusive, especially the most mysterious Soul Stone. No matter how hard Odin searched, he could not get any clues.
In the end, Odin chose to give up, and the half-finished Infinity Gauntlet was put into his treasury as a collectible, never to be touched again.
Odin asked with a solemn expression: "How bad is the situation? How many gems has Thanos got?"
Lu Xiao spread his hands: "Including the Mind Stones that he took the initiative to send to the earth, Thanos has mastered at most two, and the Power Stone with the most destructive power is now in his hands."
"Thanos's adopted daughter Gamora knows the whereabouts of the Soul Stone. He has also already known the locations of the Reality Stone and the Space Stone. Only..."
Lu Xiao nodded at the Eye of Agamotto on his chest: "The Time Stone and the Mind Stone are under the supervision of the Earth."
Odin is very confident in Asgard's strength, but considering the chaos of Hela that he will inevitably face next, he is not sure how much damage the radical goddess of death will cause Asgard.
If the cunning Thanos happens to take action after Thor and Hela are both injured, Asgard will never be able to keep the Space Stone.
As for Collector Di Fan, although his strength is considered to be at the level of a boss in the universe, facing Thanos who possesses multiple infinite gems, defeat is only a matter of time.
"I see."
The old fox Odin thought for a moment and understood what Lu Xiao was thinking: "Are you sure that Thanos will ask Eitri to build the Infinity Gauntlet, and plan to set up a trap for him in advance?"
