"How could the casket of ancient winters be missing?"
Michael scratched his head, completely baffled.
"Did Odin take it with him to replenish his own energy?"
Michael suddenly thought that Destroyer Odin's teleportation wouldn't be as effortless as his own.
"No, that's not right!"
Michael immediately overturned his own guess.
"If Odin were truly using this to replenish energy, I would definitely be able to sense it."
"Furthermore, Odin is currently troubled by the increasing Odin Force as he ages, so why would he think about replenishing energy?
Moreover, he even placed the Space Stone on Earth.
The mere casket of ancient winters, though powerful, is practically... trash compared to the Tesseract."
"Could it be..."
Michael suddenly remembered Loki, whom he had only seen once, the first time he came to Asgard.
"Did Loki take the casket of ancient winters?"
"But that doesn't make sense! Thor's original coronation ceremony was ruined by me, not him.
And he hasn't even traveled to Jotunheim in this timeline, so he couldn't have discovered that he's actually a Frost Giant."
"Did Odin hide it? Does Odin have another secret vault?"
Because he was facing Odin directly at the time and hadn't noticed Loki's change, Michael had no idea how far off his guesses were, even recalling a story called 'The Cunning Rabbit Has Three Burrows' and guessing even further.
"Hiss!!!"
Michael gasped, taking a deep breath.
"That's not impossible! I have a Space Ring myself, so there's no reason Odin, who once possessed the Space Stone, wouldn't have his own personal dimensional space!"
"The Infinity Gauntlet in this vault is a fake.
No, it's not exactly fake, but this fake right-handed Infinity Gauntlet can only withstand the power of two Infinity Stones.
Even three would cause it to explode.
But the Dwarf King was able to forge a perfect, true left-handed Infinity Gauntlet that could hold six Infinity Stones for Sunset Purple Sweet Potato, which means Odin must have forged a true Infinity Gauntlet before.
Otherwise, where would the Dwarf King have gotten the forging experience?"
"Hiss!!!"
Michael gasped again, taking another deep breath.
"That means, in Odin's private dimensional vault, there might not only be the casket of ancient winters, but also a true Infinity Gauntlet!"
"This guy, Odin, has practically deceived everyone!"
Michael began to summarize, "Such an existence is indeed terrifying.
Cannot provoke, cannot provoke!"
"However, even so, I'm going to pack up this entire vault and take it with me!"
Michael took out a Tesseract energy block from his Space Ring, absorbing it to restore his nearly depleted energy.
"I said I wouldn't leave you a single brick, so I won't leave you a single brick!"
Even after Michael emptied all its contents, the materials used to construct Odin's Vault were far beyond what ordinary cosmic powers could possess.
For example, walls made of Uru alloy, and the unique, very hard Asgardian stone slabs that perfectly carry magic and allow for the inscription of magic circles.
Of course, Michael had no intention of collecting this empty vault.
Instead, he communicated with the mutated gem and directly recycled Odin's entire Vault!
"Hahahaha!!!"
Seeing the mutated gem instantly overflowing with energy, Michael laughed wildly!
What's a little wasted energy from overflowing? Hmph!
As long as it makes Odin suffer, what's a little wasted energy?
I just… like it!
"Hmm... it's time to retreat.
Odin might not notice if I just took the treasures."
Michael looked around at the huge, even seeping, black hole that had suddenly appeared before him, and chuckled.
"But if I directly recycled the entire Odin's Vault, and Odin doesn't sense it, then this millennia-old God King would truly be a waste!"
"Moreover, Odin is currently in his strongest state, wearing the Destroyer Armor!"
With a thought, Michael instantly vanished without a trace... Hel.
"Hela."
Destroyer Odin opened his helmet, revealing the face that immediately filled Hela with rage.
"Perhaps, we should talk!"
"Ha, talk?"
Hela was first stunned, then she laughed as if she had heard the funniest joke in the Universe.
"Talk? Why didn't you talk when you, Odin, sealed and imprisoned me?
How majestic, how domineering you were, with a wave of your hand, suppressing, sealing, and imprisoning a daughter who dared to defy your authority!"
"All these years, you never once came to see me."
Hela's face was full of disdain, and she kept sneering.
"Now, you're about to enter Odinsleep, aren't you?
Now you remember you want to talk to me?"
"I'm telling you, Odin!"
Hela showed no restraint, her face full of murderous intent as she roared at Odin.
"When you die, that will be... the day Asgard perishes!
I will completely destroy that... false, shameless Asgard you built with my own hands!"
"Presumptuous!"
Odin's eyes turned cold, and a massive divine power crushed down on Hela, instantly forcing her to her knees.
"You must remember, you are facing your father!
The Lord of the Nine Realms, the God King of Asgard, Odin Odinson!"
"Ha!"
Even when crushed to the ground, Hela's face was full of disdain, and her mouth was full of mockery.
"A fellow who wears the Destroyer Armor, massacres all around, committed countless slaughters, and personally suppressed and sealed his own daughter, yet still hopes to gain respect?"
"He..."
Suddenly, Destroyer Odin seemed to sense something, and his face drastically changed.
"You're asking for death!"
An even more powerful and mighty aura erupted from Destroyer Odin, instantly sending Hela, who was already firmly pinned to the ground, flying an unknown distance.
Pfft! Spitting out a large mouthful of blood, Hela struggled to her feet, her eyes full of hatred and murderous intent as she looked back in the original direction.
But Odin, who had originally been wearing the Destroyer Armor, was nowhere to be seen.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
"Odin!!!"
"I want you to die a horrible Death!"
Feeling heavily wounded, Hela instantly went insane… "That… perhaps, I can help you."
Who knows how long it took, but Hela finally stopped raging, suppressing her hatred and anger, slowly calming down.
At this moment, an ancient Asgardian language came from not far away, startling Hela!
