Kytheron moved with some difficulty, step by step, to the resting place Odin had prepared for him—a vast, empty palace.
"I suppose gold is truly abundant for Asgardians!"
Kytheron exclaimed this the moment he entered!
Because Kytheron saw a dazzling golden bed in the great hall.
It must be said that, although Kytheron had not inherited the memories of a Dragon, he seemed to have a bloodline-deep fondness for such shiny, glowing objects.
However, the dual sense of restraint from his body and soul left Kytheron with no desire to investigate whether it was real gold or merely plated!
Fifty-five debuff spells made Kytheron feel as if heavy shackles had been placed on every part of him, from his scales, skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs, all the way to his spirit and soul.
What Kytheron didn't know, however, was that Frigga was quite astonished that he could still move.
One must know that even Thor, if afflicted by her fifty-five spells, wouldn't just be unable to move!
He would likely fall unconscious on the spot, his very soul sinking into slumber.
Yet, unexpectedly, Kytheron, who seemed to have extremely weak resistance to magic, not only didn't fall asleep but could even move.
Although he moved as slowly as a turtle, this demonstrated just how powerful and profound Kytheron's fundamental strength truly was!
At the very least, he was far stronger than an Asgardian.
It is known that an ordinary Asgardian is at least three times stronger than a Midgardian.
And a royal like Thor, empowered by divine strength, is immeasurably stronger than an ordinary Asgardian.
But for Kytheron, a Dragon born in Vanaheim, not of divine lineage, to be even stronger than the legitimate gods like Thor, how could this not be astonishing?
At this moment, Kytheron lay quietly on the golden bed, straining his spirit to carefully perceive every change within his body.
This time, the magic was all-encompassing, firmly binding every aspect of Kytheron's body.
However, after calming his mind, Kytheron also discovered that his golden heart seemed to be slowly resisting the negative effects of the spells.
"My heart is the source of my new bloodline; it seems that to enhance my magic resistance, I might be able to start here."
Kytheron murmured to himself, deep in thought.
This night was perhaps the most difficult Kytheron had experienced since his reincarnation, even more agonizing than the first night after birth when he had nothing to eat and was starving.
"I finally understand what it means for a day to feel like a year."
To prevent himself from falling into slumber, Kytheron continuously forced himself to stay awake, counting the seconds through this arduous night.
At dawn, Kytheron eagerly awaited the first ray of sunlight.
When the sunlight shone upon Kytheron, he could distinctly feel a surging power emanating from his heart.
Instantly, like an activated star, Kytheron felt his body, shackled by magic, begin to revive!
Sounds like breaking chains echoed within his body, clear and audible.
The sound was even heard by the Guardian patrolling outside!
"What was that sound?"
"Captain, do we need to go check?"
A Guardian following the Captain of the Guard asked.
"No need! His Majesty the All-Father has instructed us not to disturb Your Excellency Dragon unless there is a special situation."
The Captain of the Guard glanced in Kytheron's direction, shook his head, and then led his subordinates to continue patrolling other areas!
Feeling completely freed from his restraints, Kytheron stretched his massive wings with a powerful motion.
Then, his entire body flew straight upwards, directly embracing the Sun.
"My ability to absorb solar radiation has increased?"
Immersed in the immense comfort brought by the Yellow Sun, Kytheron suddenly opened his eyes in surprise.
He could clearly feel that after breaking free from the magical shackles, his body's ability to convert Yellow Sun radiation had significantly increased!
"This is somewhat similar to the 'breakdown and then build up' trope of protagonists in some novels."
"However, this might be a path never before conceived, where flaws become a means to rapidly enhance strength."
Kytheron was naturally very pleased with this discovery.
Increased absorption and conversion efficiency meant that his strength would improve even faster.
And in the past, when watching movies or comics, he had never seen any Superman in any Universe actively try to overcome the flaw of magic.
Of course, it might also be the fault of the screenwriters; after all, Superman is already strong enough. If he isn't given some weaknesses like Kryptonite or magic, many storylines would be difficult to develop.
Just as most Supermen passively absorb solar radiation to get stronger, only a very few actively seek ways to become stronger.
"Your Majesty, we may have underestimated the Sun's effect on Shen."
"Last night, at his request, I cast fifty-five debuff spells on him."
"Originally, if nothing unexpected happened, those spells would have lasted at least fifteen Midgardian days on him."
"But now, I can feel that all the magic completely dissolved the moment he touched the Sun!"
At this moment, Frigga stood beside Odin, looking at Kytheron in the sky with an expression of great astonishment.
Odin also looked at Kytheron with his one remaining eye, then at the Sun on the horizon, saying nothing, his mind lost in thought.
After watching for a while, he left for the Great Hall of the Gods.
As the Guardian of the Nine Realms, maintaining their stable order was a belief etched into Odin's bones and those of the Asgardians.
As the All-Father, he naturally couldn't be idle all day.
However, ever since the Dark Elves were defeated by his father, All-Father Bor, the Nine Realms had not experienced much upheaval.
In thousands of years, the only significant upheaval was the invasion of Midgard by the Frost Giants.
He personally led the Asgardian army to defeat Laufey, the leader of the Frost Giants, and even seized their clan's sacred treasure, the Casket of Ancient Winters.
After that, no large-scale wars occurred again.
However, various civilizations in the Universe are not independent entities, so conflicts naturally arise.
But as long as it doesn't involve the various realms of the Nine Realms, Asgard generally doesn't meddle much.
"His Majesty the All-Father, King Eitri has sent word that the mold you asked him to prepare is complete and requires you to bestow its power."
At this moment, Heimdall reported to Odin.
He is the Gatekeeper of Asgard and the link connecting other realms to Asgard.
"Heimdall, tell Eitri that I will personally go to Nidavellir."
The mold King Eitri mentioned was for the ultimate artifact "Stormbreaker" that Odin had ordered the Dwarves to prepare for the future Thor.
Because he knew that mjolnir could not accompany Thor forever, and when his thunderous divine power was fully awakened, he would need a more powerful weapon.
This was also the last safeguard he, as the All-Father of Asgard and a father, could provide for his child and his people!
