Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely-Chapter 1028 - 809: Target Starry Sky

Upon hearing Odin’s voice, even Loki breathed a slight sigh of relief.

This despicable mage might have been excessive, but at least he didn’t go back on his word or harbor any sinister intent to kill.

Although Loki often felt dissatisfied with Odin’s decisions, deep down, he held genuine respect for Odin.

At the same time, he knew that once Odin awakened, his own safety was at least assured. This realization brought him a sense of ease.

Soon after, Tao Yu carried Loki in a flash and appeared inside the Immortal Palace, where he saw the one-eyed, dignified elder seated on the throne.

Though Odin had been the revered king for millennia, erasing the wrath he once carried,

this master who single-handedly conquered the Nine Realms, tore apart Surter, and subdued the Frost Giants still possessed an awe-inspiring power that was impossible to ignore.

During Odin’s slumber, Tao Yu had seen his state; the boundless energy within him continued to grow with time.

An undisputed figure favored by this world.

"The Cosmic Cube... I didn’t expect to see it again."

Merely watching Tao Yu flash into his presence, Odin immediately recognized that Tao Yu had acquired the Cosmic Cube.

In truth, this treasure of Asgard had been left on Earth long ago, but since it was left there, Odin made no mention of wanting to reclaim it.

"Your Majesty Odin, it’s an honor to meet you. On behalf of Master Ancient One, I extend greetings to you."

Out of courtesy, Tao Yu slightly bowed.

"The Ancient One... Frigg mentioned that the Ancient One was also tainted by the Abyss? But it makes sense..."

Odin heaved a light sigh.

Tao Yu had briefly discussed the Ancient One’s circumstances with Frigg, and naturally, upon Odin’s awakening, it had been disclosed to him.

Given Odin’s vast insights, he instantly deduced that the Ancient One had likely encountered the Abyss while exploring the multiverse.

For Odin, who was well aware of the multiverse’s existence, though he might not fully grasp the essence of the Abyss, he could quickly accept its premise.

He then lifted his gaze toward Tao Yu and said,

"Master Jack intends to collect the Infinite Gems to resolve the Abyss problem, correct? If that’s the case, I can lend you my assistance."

Odin’s offer took Tao Yu slightly by surprise, but upon seeing Thor beside him, he quickly understood.

No matter how Odin had exiled Thor, he viewed him as the ideal heir in his heart. Tao Yu had not only saved Thor but also helped him awaken his Thunder God’s Power!

Observing Odin’s situation, Tao Yu realized that the Asgardian Divine King’s lineage grows more formidable with age, as the energy within them perpetually expands.

Thor was destined to reach, and perhaps even surpass, Odin’s level someday; he had simply relied too much on his hammer before.

So, although Thor had not undergone the transformative spiritual awakening that would typically come with a sacrificial moment, his overall growth had exceeded Odin’s expectations.

Combined with Tao Yu’s demonstrated abilities and potential, along with Thor’s bond with Tao Yu and Odin’s trust in the Ancient One’s discernment, Odin decisively made his decision.

"Your Majesty Odin truly has the vision of a torch. While I do intend to collect the Infinite Gems for the purpose of addressing the Abyss, based on my current understanding of the Abyss, I fear that even with all six gems united, it won’t be enough to fully resolve the problem—we might only achieve partial mitigation."

Tao Yu’s words caused a visible ripple in Odin’s otherwise composed expression.

"Not even the six Original Stones can resolve it?"

Odin leaned forward slightly, furrowing his brow before continuing,

"If it’s an issue of lacking a proper container, my treasury holds the Infinity Gauntlet, which you may use. To be candid, after unifying the Nine Realms, I considered collecting the gems myself but abandoned the idea upon seeing disaster unfold within Agamotto’s Orb."

"Your Majesty Odin is benevolent. The six Cosmic Original Stones do inherently possess the potential to cause disaster. However, I can promise you this: While I may not be able to eradicate the Abyss entirely, once I acquire all six gems, I will do everything in my power to slow down the Abyss’s rate of corruption."

Tao Yu looked toward Odin, knowing fully well that the Abyss’s encroachment could not be reversed.

But maintaining a relative stability, akin to the Main World’s state, was achievable.

Independent worlds were already intrinsically strong, self-contained systems with a total Yuan Force generation that could nearly match the Abyss’s corruption. With some additional intervention on Tao Yu’s part, stability could indeed be preserved.

If relying solely on his own strength, dealing with such multiverse-level independent worlds would undoubtedly be daunting. However, the six Infinite Gems provided him with the ability to intervene.

At least within the current world...

...

"Oh, wonderful. I brought back the Mind Stone for you, yet you treat me this way. Don’t you feel a shred of guilt?"

Having personally escorted Loki into Asgard’s prison, Tao Yu heard Loki’s complaint.

"Use this time to cultivate yourself and stop causing trouble. I’ve seen your future. If you continue down this path, you may lose the one person most important to you."

Tao Yu’s words briefly stunned Loki, who said no more afterward.

His previous actions—being flung off the Rainbow Bridge, forced to carry the Mind Stone and deliver it—had indeed left Loki shaken.

This prophet’s clairvoyance was undeniably accurate!

Meanwhile, Thor, who had accompanied Tao Yu, placed considerable trust in him as well.

After hearing Tao Yu’s words, Thor voiced his concern, asking,

"Loki may lose someone important to him?"
