Urd began to organize the other Valkyries to enter the pool one by one. Their current state was not truly alive; it was more like an elemental life form. Only the skeleton was original, the rest was made of Holy Energy.
As the second-in-command of Heaven, Urd had most of the authority within this dimension. Besides not being able to leave, she could do anything! Kurohane's intention was that Heaven was currently empty. They needed to build some magnificent structures to save face in the future.
Kurohane, who didn't know how to play sandbox games, became a hands-off boss, leaving the matter to Urd.
After arranging everything, Kurohane opened a portal and took Danvers to Asgard. He just wanted to watch the drama.
"Kurohane, what kind of situation do you think it is now?" Danvers asked.
"There's no real situation," Kurohane replied. "Even if Odin didn't go back, they wouldn't fight. As long as Frigga doesn't die, Hela won't dare to rebel."
Seeing the harmonious Asgard, Kurohane knew his guess was right. Odin and Frigga had many children, and probably all had differences of opinion with Odin. But none of them disrespected Frigga as their mother, not even Loki and Hela.
Kurohane and Danvers arrived at the Asgardian palace. Their behavior was provocative, but the ever-stronger Kurohane was just itching for a fight.
Around him, Frigga was suppressing the arrogant Hela, and Silvie was comforting her sad father. Thor looked foolish. He felt like a stranger in his own family. A sister who suddenly appeared, an adopted sister he had just met, had snatched all of his parents' affection. What's more tragic, Loki's inheritance rights were now down from third to fourth. His siblings were truly miserable!
"The son-in-law is here?" Frigga's smile bloomed, instantly confirming Kurohane's identity.
Hela's already tense face hardened even more. Her Divine Power had recovered since she returned to Asgard. Her tattered clothes were restored. Hearing her mother confirm Kurohane's identity, her first reaction was to kill Kurohane. If Kurohane wasn't around, she wouldn't have to get married.
But Frigga suppressed Hela with one hand, without magic. She just squeezed Hela's palm, and Hela was instantly quiet.
"Why bother looking for a good day?" Frigga asked. "We'll finalize the engagement tonight. The only elder on the son-in-law's side is The Ancient One. I'll contact her immediately! It just so happens I've already made preparations, it was originally to celebrate my eldest daughter's return, but changing it to an engagement banquet is also just fine!"
Frigga knew all too well how the old Asgardians partied: they could drink for thirty days in a month. The liquor store had already changed owners many times.
"If you talk like that, I can only be Asgard's Ragnarok." Kurohane raised his Infinity Gauntlet, and twelve light wings appeared on his back. The Phoenix Force was released unconditionally. Everyone, except Danvers, was under his suppression.
Everyone's reaction was interesting. Odin was protected by Silvie, Hela was protected by Frigga, and only Thor chose to surrender to the enemy! He knelt, then threw Mjolnir into Kurohane's hand. Although it looked like Thor was thrown by Kurohane, the power of his hammer throw was truly remarkable.
Kurohane looked at Mjolnir in his hand. A palace drama was playing out in his mind. Anyone who said Thor was stupid, Kurohane would slap them twice! The rebel killed his way into the palace, the emperor protected the third heir to the throne, the first heir protected the queen, the second heir fought bravely, but was defeated by the rebel, and his Divine Artifact was seized. In the end, everyone but the second heir died, and he became a puppet king supported by the rebel. However, he was still the king!
The scene was odd, but both sides remained restrained. The Phoenix Force Kurohane released had no killing intent. Instead, it was secretly influencing the bodies of Odin and Frigga, absorbing the chaotic energy within them, and adjusting their bodies, at least to extend their lives by another thousand years.
The life energy of the Phoenix Force was far purer than the power of Odin and Frigga. They were greatly benefited.
Frigga didn't feel anything strange, she just felt her body was lighter. But Odin was different. The continuously growing Divine Power within him was a burden on his body. That's why he often entered the Odin Sleep, to adjust the chaotic energy and prevent damage.
Odin knew Kurohane's previous suggestion was right. He had to either give up the Divine Power, which would weaken Asgard, or strengthen his body, which was impossible for him to do alone.
Now, Kurohane not only eliminated the chaotic energy but also strengthened his body. Without reducing his power, he also prevented him from dying too soon.
This was also Kurohane's way of showing his strength.
"I've already given the benefits, this is my sincerity. Asgard and Kamar-Taj will always be friends. Also, the Netherworld is now called Heaven and has nothing to do with Asgard. Agreed?"
After conditioning Odin's body, Kurohane didn't retract his Phoenix Force. With the Mind Stone replenishing his energy, he wasn't afraid of running out of mental power. If Odin didn't know when to advance or retreat, he wouldn't mind having a fight in Asgard.
Odin felt his body was full of vitality again. He sighed. "...Alright, in that case, the Valkyries..."
"What Valkyries? How would I know?"
"Then why don't you stay for a meal?"
