Chapter 77: Odin wants to meet Bi Xiao
"Someone wishes to meet you."
"Meet me?" Bi Xiao raised an eyebrow. To be aware of his presence and to convey a message through the Ancient One, he immediately deduced the person's identity: "The King of Asgard?"
"He is an extraordinary individual. With the power of his Odinforce, he can see through the very essence of the universe, down to its deepest levels."
"Asgard, like Earth, is a crucial part of this universe's evolution. Your emergence has triggered a series of chain reactions, impacting Asgard and disrupting many of his plans, so he wishes to meet you."Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com
The Ancient One explained: "He is different from me. I have observed you for a long time, but he has not, which makes him very concerned."
"Is this a test for me?"
"No, you do not need anyone's test. Regardless of what happens during your meeting with Odin, he will not harm you in any way," the Ancient One said with certainty. Odin is indeed powerful, and to some extent, she and Odin have an understanding.
After all, as beings of the same rank, she might not be able to defeat Odin, but in his current state, the odds of mutual destruction were high if they clashed.
The Ancient One would die first, and Odin, unable to bear the ever-increasing vast divine power, would soon dissipate as well.
Originally, Earth was under Asgard's rule, but Odin and Asgardians were often preoccupied with other realms and rarely visited Earth, primarily due to the Ancient One.
Earth was tacitly acknowledged as her domain, though not officially declared, out of consideration for Odin.
Both sides were restrained by each other. Bi Xiao was the Ancient One's most significant investment, and she wouldn't let Odin jeopardize her project.
Moreover, the Ancient One knew that Odin's attitude towards Bi Xiao's emergence would not be extreme.
"When?"
Bi Xiao chuckled, understanding the hint, and promptly teleported away.
In the past two years at Kamar-Taj, he had frequently disturbed the Ancient One. Besides, he had also utilized many of the artifacts there, not for personal use but to analyze their structure. Without this, his arsenal wouldn't be so formidable.
No matter how indifferent the Ancient One seemed, she couldn't ignore someone continually taking advantage of her resources.
Luckily, the Eye of Agamotto was always around her neck; otherwise, Bi Xiao might have taken it for "study" as well.
Returning to the estate.
It was still the Swan Manor, though it had changed. Over the past two years, he had personally crafted a thirteen-layered magical barrier around it, incorporating concealment, defense, and attack features.
Similar to the New York Sanctum, where the magic barrier caused most passersby to overlook it.
His Swan Manor was the same.
Additionally, he had "slightly" modified the Blackbird II aircraft. Since acquiring teleportation magic, its original function had diminished, so it had undergone numerous magical experiments as a test subject.
The experiments were successful, without turning it into a sentient machine. However, the aircraft's exterior now bore many magical inscriptions, and even the fuel tank was modified for enhanced external defense and acceleration.
The need for fuel was replaced with a core magical device. By channeling magic into it, the core stored energy, functioning as a power source. During flight, the magic was converted into energy for propulsion.
The new speed was significantly higher, and its stealth capabilities were greatly enhanced, achieving complete magical invisibility, akin to entering a mirror dimension, unseen and immune to attacks from the real world.
The aircraft's appearance became more substantial, resembling an open-type flyer, black and phoenix-shaped, similar to the Golden Vimana.
However, he hadn't added offensive weapons, with potential future modifications in mind.
This was his most significant project over the past two years.
