If Arthur's instinct to run away after hearing the previous issue was strong, then after hearing this statement, he was already turning around.
But he didn't get far because Odin had grabbed him.
"What are you running for?"
Odin looked puzzled: "Is going to hell so difficult?"
That didn't sound right!
"If I go, will I be able to come back?"
Arthur looked at Odin helplessly.
"Of course, you can."
"I don't believe it!"
"..."
"..."
The two men stared at each other, each refusing to back down.
Finally, Odin was annoyed: "What's wrong with my daughter? Do you have to refuse her like this?"
"...If your daughter were so great, would she be sealed in hell?"
Arthur muttered under his breath, realizing he was venturing further down a dangerous path.
How could he say such things?
It was even riskier than charging into space with a nuclear bomb.
Odin fell silent as if he were about to submerge underwater.
After a long pause, he sighed deeply and said, "This is a family issue. It's a matter of me not setting a good example. I regret it, but I can't change that child's thoughts, so the outcome has turned out this way. But I believe you might have a way to change everything."
Arthur blinked: "I feel like you're trying to set me up."
"...I am the All-Father!!"
Odin's beard and hair shook with indignation: "How could I set you up?"
"You're clearly digging a pit for me and have already pushed me to the edge. While I'm not paying attention, you might give me a kick…"
Arthur pursed his lips: "By the way, what's the family issue that makes you treat your daughter this way?"
"Do you want to know?"
Odin looked at Arthur: "If you want to know, then you must agree to this matter!"
"...Do I have to marry her?"
Arthur said, feeling exasperated: "If it's about changing some of her ideas, I can put in some effort. But marrying her... honestly, I really don't want to marry a woman I've never even met."
"Changing ideas?"
Odin glanced at Arthur and nodded: "Yes, that might be better. But that's just the first step. Once you've managed to change her ideas, you can work on your relationship. After all, no relationship develops overnight, right? The longer you spend time together, the better you'll understand and support each other."
"..." Arthur was speechless. He thought the old man had changed his mind, but then he turned around and came back to the same point.
However, Arthur was genuinely puzzled. This was definitely not Odin's usual style.
Why must he be involved with Hela?
They were two people who had no connection, and forced affection would not bring happiness!
Hmm? That doesn't seem right... In any case, forced fruit is not sweet!
Arthur scratched his head: "I still can't accept it…"
"Alright, then at least you could try being friends first?" Odin said: "After some time, you can visit hell and meet her? Although in terms of strength, you can't beat her right now. But if you manage to control the Space Stone's power, you should at least be able to protect yourself. You might be able to convince her to be your friend. Oh, and don't mention that I sent you. Otherwise, I worry she might get so angry she'd kill you…"
"Wait! This is getting a bit dangerous, isn't it?"
Arthur was speechless. Why was everything about life and death? He felt that if he went, it might be a one-way trip.
"No, no, no, it's not dangerous!"
Odin seemed to realize he had misspoken: "In any case, with me protecting you, how could it be dangerous? Don't forget, I am the All-Father!"
"...Hearing you call yourself that twice in a short time, I've developed immunity to the term. By the way, such an un-serious All-Father, are you sure you're not Loki in disguise?"
Arthur muttered.
The next moment, an oppressive pressure as heavy as a mountain enveloped him. Arthur was startled and immediately used his colorless energy to resist, his white aura growing stronger. Odin, however, retracted his aura.
"You are improving."
Odin nodded with satisfaction and said, "In any case, it's settled."
"By the way, there's one more thing... I need to go back to Earth." Arthur said, "Otherwise, I'm worried someone might start demolishing houses."
"Is it about that girl on Earth?"
Odin said with a smile, "It's alright, the Ancient One will take care of everything. Your current physical condition is not suitable for going to Earth. If anything goes wrong, I might not be able to help you."
The topic returned to the first issue. Arthur rubbed his stomach: "What exactly is going on with my body? What will be the result? How do you plan to help me?"
"This requires Frigga's assistance. She will help you understand and control the powers."
Odin said, "It may take a bit of time, but that's alright, we have time."
Arthur nodded. Honestly, the energy within his body was indeed a problem that couldn't be ignored.
After all, an accidental mishap could lead to terrifying consequences.
Although some space energy within him seemed not to cause any issues and could even be used, let's not forget that it was accumulated over seventy years by Arthur.
And it was only a small amount.
At this moment, the two types of energy entering Arthur's body were much larger than that small amount.
In fact, Arthur was worried that if the space energy erupted again, it might still trigger an 'explosive' event that would paint his immediate surrounding in red.
That could be the true explosive form of space energy.
Seeing Arthur's expression, Odin knew what he was worried about.
He thought for a moment and said, "Actually, the previous space energy eruption was an example of a space energy invasion. At that time, you lacked mental energy and control over your physical strength. As a result, the power erupted instantly, tearing apart the void and sending you into the depths of space. The advantage was that the space energy was expended cleanly, so it didn't cause too much harm to your body... Nowadays, it's still a solution, though Heimdall might need some time to find you."
At this point, Odin looked at Arthur: "Moreover, the most important thing is that this time, your body even contains the Power Stone's power. After the fusion of the two powers, no one knows what kind of chain reaction might occur when the Space Stone's power erupts. We can't afford such risks... especially you!"
