"Ah that hurts!" The woman yelled
"Seriously little needles hurt you?" Odin asked
"Do you realize how strong they have to be to pierce into my skin that can easily have an entire universe throw at me?"
"Yes I also used to be at the continuous nothing realm."
Odin soaked the needle in ink before piercing her skin again. The tattoo was nearly done the tattoo was a spear with wings the large spear covered her entire spine and the wings covered the shoulders. Each hand focused on different things the two main hands focused on the wings the other two focused on both the tip and handle of the spear.
The wings were covered in many runes from modern runes to ancient runes that many have forgotten about. The tip of the spear was made to change by the perspective of the viewer showing the different forms her spear took.
In the hotel room other than Odin two other people were present watching Odin work on the woman. Both looked identical if not for one looking way younger and more innocent. The other was more reserved and hidden a blindfold covered her eyes she showed the pinnacle of any spear she was a weapon that was cultivated after many years.
Both were the same weapon just from different realities which meant different circumstances. One never suffered the loss of their master with that it had no reason to become stronger. The other journeyed with her master's husband in search of a way to bring her back in every second she improved hoping her master would return.
She like her new master gave up a physical part of her for more power. Her master gave up his heart which now doesn't beat when it does it activates the power he gained. It is the same for her giving up her eyes allowing her to see the path that she needs to go.
After so long she has surpassed her former master being at the same level as her current master. Of course, that's without counting for odins new will and full power release.
As Odin finished the tattoo started to glow a dark purple which made Odin confused before he teleported himself and the woman out Into the abyss.
Since she was not at the void annihilation realm her body was being attacked by the abyss causing her to jump up in surprise. Odin grabbed her and made her sit on the nonexisting floor.
"Absorb the abyss only a milligram and refine it your gonna breakthrough," Odin said as he floated above her head. The woman looked confused before realizing what he said and absorbing the abyss.
"Your soul is your only defense if it fails you die refine it slowly and carefully and once you finish take ten times more," Odin said as he looked up at nothing.
The abyss that entered her body attacked her soul it tried to eat it and turn it into more abyss but the woman fought back using her energy she attacked it slowly turning the abyss into her own.
This process was slow and painful Odin fully paused everything. No matter what nothing moved time stopped only two people were spared or more like anything outside reality was spared.
When she finally reached halfway it was already a year later and the abyss above was starting to shift.
"It the soul tribulation," Odin said as he stared at the golden lightning. After a while, a small bolt of lightning the size of a human fell and attacked Odin who stood above the woman.
Many tribulations existed most common were the normal lightning strikes that tested the cultivation of a person. As one went higher it would split when one reached the divine realm each level would cause a body tribulation attacking only the body and nothing else.
When one reached the immortal ascension realm they got the soul tribulation that only attacked the soul. After in the immortal realm it would be both body and soul and each major realm it was a will tribulation.
The will tribulation didn't attack anything it suppressed the body, soul, and cultivation. turning one into a normal mortal and one would need to show high willpower to counter it.
When one reached the true immortal realm they would lose their cultivation and fight the personification of their path if they lose then well they died.
Reaching void annihilation brought every tribulation starting slow and easy to fast and hard. The bolt of lighting was small but could easily destroy a multiverse just by being near it. The bolt struck odins body and attacked his soul shattering it before Odin rebuilt it.
Odin could have easily taken that attack but he let it destroy his soul to make the tribulation think it killed him. This didn't work as the next bolt came down twice as big as the last. This continued for the next ten thousand years soon it stopped and now blue lightning fell.
The bolt attacked his body his flesh muscle and bones carried the energy and sent it to the woman to nurture and repair her soul. This continued from the body tribulation to the will from will to spiritual and then blood.
As the woman had a system she made the special system tribulation came and attacked her but Sammy awoke and destroyed the tribulation before it could start.
'That was overkill.'

'Quite short.'
Soon it became quiet since the tribulation followed a set time limit no other tribulation arrived until ten thousand years later. A small bolt shot out it was the size of a grain of rice but Odin was shocked as he saw it slowly arrive.
"This is gonna hurt more than when I lost my slime pet."
As the bolt arrived it slowly merged with him and he screamed in pain his damaged and numbed neurons finally felt something and it felt like hell. As he felt with the bolt ten more ten times as big appeared and attacked him.
[detected transcendence tribulation starting scan]
As it scanned a hundred bolts appeared and started to fire at Odin continuously. In just a day trillions of bolts struck him by the second.
The system had finished its scans a few hours ago and started to analyze it as it did it absorbed the energy it could and slowly sped up its update speed.

"Heh well, that's nice to hear," Odin said weakly as he barely managed to keep himself floating. After so long he was finally brought down which made him feel so happy he knew now that there was something still left to conquer.
Even if his goal failed he could use this to numb the pain he would fight this little bolt and bring it down. But he also wondered if he could fight it now with that thought his body responded slowly the burnt flesh started to heal.
Slowly his will ignited the embers that represented his hope started to ignite and expand becoming a grand sun. His mind slowly started to slow down and focused on fighting his heart started to slowly beat each thumb brought more strength into him.
He looked good as new except for his clothing which had been burnt away. His form started to change as his skin became an ash grey a low roar sounded from his soul as his grey skin was covered in black scales.
As he transformed the bolts started to increase in speed and size. Now instead of a few trillion a second it was now a few hundred trillion a second. Each bolt was the length of multiverses it destroyed his scales but when they did they started to turn grey and increased in thickness.
His mind was silent no thought passed at all but an immense will to fight and the blood lust that emanated from him caused the tribulation to slowly tremble. By this point, the bolts reach their max length and width, and group size the bolts did nothing to his scales.
At this sight, his subconscious started to let go this tribulation only looked strong but it was just another useless thing. This thought caused his mind to be filled with anger and he used his claws to attack the tribulation. The claws easily tore into the tribulation's soul causing it to retreat back as Odin saw this he chased it.
He followed the tribulation into a field of black and white. The bolts merged into a humanoid being as it ran in panic. A huge dragon was behind it slowly growing even bigger as it ran. As the tribulation ran it spoke in a mix of low and high tones.
It kept repeating them until a man in black arrived and slashed his sword at Odin. He felt the strength in the casual attack and felt happy he took it head-on and his head was split into two. The action made the figure shocked as he saw that Odin was alive and getting even stronger.
"Throne ascendent return back to your realm it is not right to enter the transient realm!" the figure shouted but Odin didn't care he switched from his dragon form to his humanoid form.
The dragon scales covered him like a scaled armor. He had long claws that he used to attack the figure. The figure tried altering causality to avoid the attacks but odins will to fight him negated it. The man was riddled with claw marks and chunks of his arm and neck were bitten off.
"What did you even lose to become an erasure dragon?" the man said heavily as he tried to heal himself to no avail.
"Lose?" Odin asked he sounded delirious.
"I lost my slime that adorable ball of jello was killed you killed it!" Odin mixed up his two thought and yelled before going into another raged-induced attack and ripping off the man's head before eating it.
Soon he started to calm down and looked around the black and white scenery confused him.
"Where is this?" Odin asked as he stared at a grey tree.
"Somewhere you haven't reached yet now return to your realm!" an ancient voice said and Odin was launched back into the hole he arrived from and fell down. As he hit the abyssal floor the crack started to repair rapidly and it soon appeared as if it was just the ceiling of the abyss.
"Odin, what happened?" the woman asked as she ran to him she was shining in a purple light the abyss tried consuming her but failed instead it was being consumed by the purple light.
"I don't even know all I know was that it was grey and that's it," Odin said as he was consumed into a deep slumber. The woman picked him up and took him to their bed in the sub-dimension he made. Throwing him on the bed she got undressed and laid next to him falling asleep as well.
