Odin sighed, turning to the guards. "Go get Heimdall if he's recovered. Tell him to find where Loki's gone."
Heimdall appeared, limping, his voice strained. "No need, my king. Loki has escaped Asgard on an E-2 ship. He had already gotten far enough from Asgard. His illusion magic will make pursuit difficult. Only you or I could track him, and I've prepared a ship. I need your permission to leave."
Odin took a deep breath before saying,"No, Heimdall. Asgard needs you, and you need rest. Loki's obsessed with the throne—he'll return, I'm certain of this."
He turned to Kakashi, his voice somber. "It seems I cannot punish Loki as promised. I fear he'll prove troublesome for both Midgard and Asgard."
Kakashi's eye narrowed, his thoughts calculating. 'Loki's loose, so the deal's off. More benefits for us. Fury's gonna love this.'
"Since Loki's escaped, negotiations start over. No punishment, no closure."
Odin nodded, his thoughts strategic.
'He is a seasoned negotiator, but Midgard's trust is worth earning.'
"Midgard needs knowledge of the universe—its species, its worlds. I'll provide that information from time to time. As for the fallen, Asgardian gold will compensate their families. And I'll send a ship to pursue Loki, with your representatives aboard soon. It will expand your knowledge of the cosmos and allow travel beyond your galaxy. Is this acceptable to your leader?"
Kakashi's thoughts raced. 'Asgardian gold? That's a fortune. Fury'll jump at intel on alien species and tech—probably drool over the chance to explore space.'
He recalled Fury's paranoia on extraterrestrial threats.
"I'm fine with it," he said, his voice steady. 'Better than just giving information of Loki being imprisoned by his dad in his own kingdom.'
A shout broke the moment. "Leave my hammer, you canine! I have to go find Loki before he does more harm!" Thor bellowed, tugging at Mjölnir.
Pakkun to the hammer with his teeth, growling.
Odin's eye twinkled, amused. "I'll craft a bone-shaped item from the same material as Mjölnir's handle. It has a scent canines love. I'll enchant it to return to the little one, like Mjölnir."
'This beast's spirit amuses me. Worthy in its own way.' Odin thought
Kakashi's eye crinkled, "Thanks," he said, nodding.
Pakkun's thoughts brightened. 'A new chew toy? Score! Better be as shiny as this one.'
Odin's voice turned serious. "I also propose an alliance. To be honest, I am old, in my twilight years, as you've seen. Asgard needs protection, as does Midgard. With warriors like you in Midgard and with Asgard's army, I believe it's an equal trade."
Kakashi listened as Odin continued, "For any future threats to Midgard, Asgard will send representatives. Thor, I suspect, is eager to return." Thor nodded, his thoughts eager. 'Jane awaits my return. My sweet little jane.'
'So my arrogant son has fallen in love with a mortal woman. Oh, Frigga would love to hear about this. But a mortal woman would never be able to sit as the queen of Asgard. She would barely survive a century
'And I no longer have the power to grant her more life.' Odin sighed and feeling helpless for the third time today. First, he failed to stop Loki from enacting his schemes due to being in Odinsleep. Second, he was barely managed to match the person in front of him in combat.
'And I believe Thor also knows this. He is planning to abandon the throne to spend his life with that woman as long as he can. Love makes you do strange things. I can't blame him, I would give up Asgard if it means that I would be spending all my remaining time with Frigga by my side.' Odin thought lovingly.
Odin's voice softened. "Speak with your leader. I believe that you also have to think about your eyes.My wife, Frigga, will likely handle further talks as queen. I must rest now."
Kakashi nodded, his thoughts settled.
"I'll pass it along."
Odin thought,'If he gets the true power of Tsukoyomi, Amaterasu, Izanagi and Kaminari, he would likely become one of the most powerful being in the multiverse. His power over Susanoo has also some room for improvement.'
'But I fear the multiverse would be in great upheaval, If his eyes manage to gain enough essense and awaken an ability of Amatsu-Mikaboshi.'
Odin felt the essence in Asgard,'His eyes have mostly taken the essence of the one I believe who was called Susa-No-O-Izumo that I believe was in Asgard. He would soon awaken an ability related to it if I am right about how his eyes work.'
'He was a tough opponent. The strongest that I have faced.' Odin glanced at Mjolnir's ruins.
'He was also the one that inspired me to make the runes on Mjolnir. I wonder what abilities he would awaken from him.'
Kakashi glanced at Pakkun, still clinging to Mjölnir. "Yo, mutt, time to go."
Pakkun huffed, his thoughts grumpy. 'Fine, but I'm keeping this hammer in my dreams.' He vanished in a puff of smoke, reluctantly releasing Mjölnir.
Kakashi activated Kamui, the world twisting as he prepared to return to Earth.
As he vanished, a blonde woman watched from a distance, her eyes locked on his disappearing figure, 'A mortal who fought Allfather to a standstill,' she thought, her lips curving into a smile. 'A man after my own heart. We will meet soon, Midgardian.'
-------Author Notes---------
Lots of revelations in this chapter by Odin thoughts.
We would get into every Shinto god when time comes. I have prepared lores for each of them and some pretty cool and neat abilities that they have.
Also this is the first major diversion from MCU. Bifrost has not been destroyed. And an Asgard-Earth alliance to some degree.
I hope you are enjoying the story and thankyou for your support!
