"If Mr. Lin Feng is interested in magic, he can come to Kamar-Taj. I believe that it shouldn't be difficult for Mr. Lin Feng now," the Ancient One said meaningfully.
She didn't ask Lin Feng why he knew the magic of Kamar-Taj, but she did point out the key point.
Lin Feng's scalp tingled, and he could only nod. There was nothing he could do; he was weaker. He had to admit it. This was the gap.
The Ancient One smiled slightly, then directly opened a dimensional portal and disappeared from the spot.
Lin Feng also used a dimensional portal and left this mirror dimension.
At the same time, Odin, back in Asgard, looked at Thor and said, "What happened? Why did you suddenly start fighting with him?"
Odin looked at his son, a slight frown creasing his brow. He wondered what his rash son was up to this time.
Thor immediately explained the situation.
"What?" Odin was instantly enraged upon hearing this.
He could even accept his own death, accept the destruction of Asgard, but when he heard that his wife was going to die, he couldn't bear it.
Especially since the cause of this was that mischievous child, Loki.
But he held back, didn't erupt further, and instead said, "And what do you think is the reason?"
He didn't jump to conclusions, because he wanted Thor to actually think.
He was definitely going to die in the future, and the throne of Asgard would eventually pass to his eldest son. However, he now realized that his eldest son had a tendency to be rash. It wasn't that he was unintelligent, but rather that he preferred to act directly.
If such a person became the King of Asgard, only knowing how to fight and kill, he would only become a tyrant. He wouldn't even have the qualifications to be a tyrant, as he would be easily manipulated.
Loki did think, and he wouldn't just go around killing all the time, but he was too focused on his schemes and plots, leaning too much towards cunning and ruthlessness.
If he were to take the throne, everyone in Asgard would live in constant fear.
So, not passing the throne to Loki, besides his Frost Giant heritage, the most important reason was that he didn't possess the qualities of a king. To be a king, one needed to use both kindness and authority.
Besides having enough strength, one also needed enough brains.
And these two sons of his, one had the strength, the other had the brains, but they were separated.
"Dark Elves, Dark Elves, I told you, we shouldn't have let those guys go, they are truly audacious!" Thor looked at his father, Odin, with some resentment. "Who knows what those Dark Elves are thinking."
He wanted to, when he ascended the throne, hold Mjolnir and go from Nanjing Road to Nantianmen, re-establishing his position as the top dog of the Nine Realms, and give them some deterrence.
However, this step was stopped by Odin and the others, and he was somewhat resentful.
If he dealt with the Dark Elves first, would they still dare to cause trouble?
Odin was rubbing his forehead. How could he not understand such a simple truth?
The problem was that he couldn't do it. Once he made a move, the truth would be immediately exposed.
He was already living on borrowed time, and if he acted now, he would die even faster. He had to stall for a few more years to give his son enough time to grow.
But with only appeasement and no deterrence for so long, the other realms were becoming increasingly out of control.
However, Thor only saw the glory of Asgard in its past. Born after the civil war, he didn't know how powerful Asgard had once been. They had two Skyfather-level beings! And now?
Asgard was directly hit hard during the civil war and hadn't recovered even now. After all, the Asgardians had very long lifespans, but this also had a downside: they didn't want to have children.
Raising a child was also expensive for them. A child's adulthood wasn't achieved in a mere ten or twenty years like on Earth; it was measured in hundreds of years.
As for the birth rate, it was practically non-existent for the long-lived Asgardian Gods.
There were probably a certain number of people a thousand years ago, and after a thousand years, it was probably still those same people.
If they didn't die in battle, things probably wouldn't change for a very, very long time. So accumulating power took tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years. Anyway, things hadn't recovered yet, and this God-King was severely injured, plus he had to suppress Hela; he didn't dare to act rashly.
Otherwise, did he think the title of King of the Nine Realms was just given to him out of politeness? But no matter what, this matter involved the death of Queen Frigga. Odin finally couldn't hold back anymore. The Dark Elves, after being exiled all these years, had become increasingly rampant.
"It's time to give the Dark Elves a good lesson!" Odin glanced at his son and said.
"Just a lesson? Father, you're letting them off too easy!" Thor immediately said with dissatisfaction.
Odin just said calmly, "If you have the strength to defeat them, I won't object."
This left Thor speechless. He wasn't the same as before. Back then, he was immersed in his own strength, really thinking he was almost as powerful as his father. Now he knew how foolish he had been.
"Is that all? After watching the video, the only countermeasure you can think of is to kill the Dark Elves? No plan to reform Asgard? Write a report for me later. I'll see if you've improved over the years," Odin said.
Thor immediately looked distressed when he heard this; writing things was the thing he hated most.
"But what's this about the Dark Elves? I've never seen them before. And what is this Aether thing?" Thor asked. "Why does this Malekith want the Aether? Is the Aether in Asgard?"
Since his birth, he had only heard about the Dark Elves because Odin had banished them long ago.
Odin sighed and said, "Our Asgard's territory actually encompasses the Nine Realms, also known as the Nine Worlds. You know this, right?"
"Yeah, yeah!"
Thor nodded; he knew this basic fact.
"The Dark Elves once wanted to rule the universe and spread darkness throughout it. I led the Asgardian army to defeat them and drive them away!" Odin, the Allfather, stated. "That was when Asgard was at its most powerful."
Speaking of this, Odin was a little nostalgic; Asgard was truly at its peak back then, and his daughter, Hela, was still around.
"And at that time, the Dark Elves dared to harbor such ambitions, even wanting to rule the universe, because of this Aether!" Odin continued. "Long, long ago, at the beginning of the universe's Big Bang, some gems with magical abilities were born, and the Aether was one of them. It also has another name, the Reality Stone!"
"Reality Stone?"
Thor had never heard of this so-called gem with magical abilities, and it was the first time he'd learned about the Reality Stone.
"Is there also a Time Stone?" Thor suddenly remembered the Time Stone mentioned in Lin Feng's diary, which was the Eye of Agamotto on the Ancient One.
"Yes, the Time Stone was also one of the six Infinity Stones back then." Odin nodded and said. "You've also seen the Time Stone's ability, the Eye of Agamotto, which can reverse time."
Thor nodded. He was truly impressed, even more so than when he saw Doctor Strange use it in the video. This time, he had witnessed the Ancient One using the Time Stone to reverse time, restoring the battlefield formed by his and Lin Feng's fight.
"Then what is the ability of this Reality Stone?" Thor asked.
Odin paused, then said, "The Reality Stone can partially modify reality, modify it out of thin air, turning the impossible into the possible, and transforming people's fantasies into reality. It was because of the Reality Stone's ability that the Dark Elves had such ambitions, even able to contend with our peak Asgardian army."
"The Dark Elves' strength is greatly amplified when they live in darkness. They used the Reality Stone to shroud the entire universe in darkness. I defeated them, seizing the Reality Stone and restoring the universe. Since then, I've sealed the Reality Stone. However, it seems, for reasons unknown, that the Reality Stone has ended up with your little girlfriend. Malekith is also after this Reality Stone!" Odin said with a sigh. "Logically, the Reality Stone shouldn't be in your little girlfriend's possession, unless it reappeared sometime in the future. But how it reappeared, and how to prevent it, those are matters you'll have to handle. I can't be there to solve every problem for you."
Odin intended to let Thor handle this, as a form of training.
"Wow, what a day! Not only did I have a real fight with Thor, but I also faced two Skyfather-level big shots, and nearly had my soul ripped out!
This is ridiculous. I didn't expect a little skirmish with Thor to attract the attention of Skyfather-level beings. Are they really that bored?
Doesn't Odin have to suppress Hela anymore?
Doesn't the Ancient One have to keep an eye on those Dimensional Demons that could descend at any moment?
They're all acting like they're retiring, so they can just slack off, right? Passing all the workload onto the next generation, right?
Look at what a mess you've made of your successors!"
Suddenly, Thor's diary emitted a slight warmth, reminding him that today's entry had been updated.
