"It's time."

After more than 3 weeks of staying here on Asgard the Artificial Time Stone is almost complete. It's about to from any second now. It honestly took a lot longer than I thought it would. Since the Grimoire was strengthened a lot by me learning everything Asgard has to offer, I assumed it would finish a lot earlier.

That thing is ridiculously overpowered right now. Especially with it being sentient thanks to the Artificial Mind Stone

Thor, Loki, Odin, and Sif were near. I was leaking energy waves everywhere. When Odin asked what was wrong with me. I simply answered 'I'm taking my next step to greatness'

Thor was literally grinding like an idiot, he was tapping the ground with his foot showing how excited he was. While Loki was sanding away from everyone showing interest in how strong I get and if he could get anything out of this. Odin was.. unnerved by me getting stronger than I already am. Sif stood there without moving a muscle. But a quick mind read and I saw how nervous she actually was. I pose a threat to Asgard in her opinion. But not on my own she knows I won't actively do anything to Asgard she is afraid Loki, Thor and Odin might antagonize me which will lead to me taking extreme measures.

You know it's funny how the 'bodyguard' had more brains than the Royals of Asgard. To be fair she did protect the Queen at the start. And it's becoming more and more obvious that she was the brains behind the whole 'Ruling of Asgard'. So Sif might have learned a thing or two from her.

Damn wish Freya didn't die, or at least they didn't burn her. If I had a peace of her DNA I might have been able to use Edo Tensei on her. Learning Nordic Magic would have been sooo much easier with her as a Teacher.

Nat was nearby with the 'pets'. Who were cheering for me... Like literally waving flags and shit. Some even had headbands that said 'Victory!'. Though some weren't very enthusiastic and were very reluctantly waving.*Cough Pikachu* I bet Nat put them up for this. The yellow rat being one of them.

"It might be a good idea to call Rion here." Nat smiles at me. She was very happy for me. Me getting a lot stronger means fewer things that could interfere with our lives.

"Rion?" I was genuinely confused when I heard the name.

I do my best not to look inside Nat's mind. I already know she loves me and won't betray me. Anything more and it won't exactly be a healthy relationship. it will be me just knowing her every thought and action. She will basically become a doll to me. And since I don't want that I just avoid looking inside her mind.

"Yeah since she doesn't want to give us her name, I thought why not make one for her. I chose Rion from the Celtic word Críonnacht which means Wisdom.. among other things. Any thoughts?" She tilted her head just slightly and smiled waiting for my reply

"Hmmm wisdom huh.. I think Cail from the words Cailleach which means Old Hag"

Nat immediately swatted my arm "Grant! It's very rude to talk that way to your teacher"

"She has lived for centuries and likes to watch the multiverse like how old ladies watch TV"

Nat stood there for a second trying to think of a comeback. "Still doesn't give you the right to insult her. Technically she outranks you as a sorcerer"

"Hmm true. But then again she only outranks because she is old as hell and has had the time to study it all." Nat throws her hands in the air giving up on reasoning with me, which brought a large smile on my face.

"Umm sorry to interrupt but the energy coming off that book has increased and the ground around us started tearing apart. Should we move back or something?" Sif's mask broke as the earth below the Grimoire started cracking

"Well if you stay where you are you have about a 50% chance of getting killed. And I'm sure as hell not going to lift a hand to stop it" Sif didn't need any more words as she grabbed Thor by the back of the collar of his shirt/armor and started dragging him away.

Loki didn't need any more words as he quite literally teleported away. Smart guy.

Only Odin stood there. Not intending to miss a single thing. I hope he dies from the energy collision that's about to start

'Yo! What's going on my mindscape started shaking. Oh! You making another one of these! Why didn't you call for me?' Shukaku chose this very important moment to appear

'Because you were watching anime and I didn't want you to interrupt'

'Whatever watching these things get created is fun. Especially since they are way stronger than even the Jubi. It kinda reminds me of how each of us was born. My old man showed us his memories of the fight along of our birth. Wanted us to know our origins.'

'Hmm, that was nice of him. Well, Shukaku sit back and enjoy the show. The stone is about to be created'

"Nat please move back. And make sure you are wearing all those trinkets I made. They should protect you from almost anything in existence. Well, anything I can imagine since I made them counter so many things." I kinda overdid it with those, I think she could be in the middle of the biggest nuke possible and still get without a search. Is it too much? Maybe.. but Nat's safety is numero uno.

"Sure good luck" Nat gave me a quick peck on the lips before she flew away using one of my trinkets.

*Scriiiii* (RasenShuriken sound)

The Air around the Grimoire started shaking. Below it chunks of Earth started crumbling into nothingness. Damn this is so awesome to watch. I could feel the Grimoire through our link. It was ecstatic. It only grew stronger and smarter with the influx of Asgard's books.

Now it was getting another huge power-up.

The Second Stone.

*BZZZZZZZZZ*

Green Lightning started coursing across the surface of the Grimoire.

*Plop*

As the Time Stone was falling I used telekinesis to grab it and float it back to me

"Is that a...?" I blank out Odins mumbleing

On the Upper Left point of the pentagram, a Green Gem formed.

*BOOOMMM*

Both me and the Grimoire explode in power. I tone it down and start comprising and hiding it like usual.

Nice.

*Whooosh* an orange portal starts opening causing my 'hosts' to jump and get in an attacking position.

"Identify yourself introder!!" Odin yells out his power rolling off him

The Bald One, No being renamed as Rion/Cali calmly steps through, completely ignoring the others.

"Ahhh so it's finished. I felt the energy wave all the way to earth. But I assume it's because I'm quite familiar with the Time Stone." She stopped before the grimoire and started examining it. That just caused it to start floating around her dodging her subtle detection spells irritating her. Causing Nat to laugh at her. Which made the others relax a little but they were still quite a bit put off by her presence, but Odin was still quite understandably pissed.

But I get her side two, I mean she is just as if not more powerful than Odin. Why should she play by his rules? Especially with me here. I can mess around as much as I like. But at the end of the day she is still my teacher. So it's obvious which side I will choose.

"Why do you possess an infinity stone" Odin growled at us. I was looking at him and I couldn't help but think he was an idiot. He has one in his vault. Why does he makes it sound like he hasn't seen one.

Unless.. He doesn't know what it is.

I grab the air and the Tesseract appears. I already Marked it when Thor showed it to me a couple of days ago. But I wanted to focus on Nordic magic and told him I'll study it later.

"How did you get it out of the Vault!" Thor yells out his eyes wide open

I ignore him and start using detection spells on it.

The results explained a lot. The box conceals the Stones's signature. I didn't think to look for it because I already knew it was there.

I started crushing the box. Cracks appeared on it until it broke apart in a small blue explosion. Crystals started falling from my hand. I opened my hand showing a small blue gem rounded by what Was the Outer layer of the Tesseract.

"Stop!" Odin yells out and starts walking toward us.

"That belongs to Asgard! Give it back!"

Hahaha. What a hypocrite. When he learned he couldn't use it he was more than happy to let me study it and then destroy it. Now that he knows what it is. He wants it back.

I grin at him and let lose my power. I focus it away from Nat and The old hag. and press it down on them.

The results are immediate. Loki and Sif found themselves on their knees. While Thor buckled for a bit but stubbornly pushed himself upright.

Odin looked furious he let go of his power and started pushing against mine. But it was obvious I had the upper hand. He started releasing more and more of his power in an attempt to match mine.

But suddenly he paused and his face paled. A look of pure horror appeared on his face.

At first, I was confused but then a greenish-black energy started bubbling in the space near us.

That was the 'Ohhhh' moment. Like 'Ohhhh that's why he is so afraid'

Soon the energy spread and formed a portal. And right after a disheveled figure stepped out

"Ahhhhh it's good to be back"
