[Just when Odin said 'my heir', the video on screen panned towards Loki.]
[His eyes were lowered, looking at the ground. His expression didn't seem very good.]
[Odin looked at Thor and solemnly said...]
["My first born. So long entrusted with the mighty hammer, Mjolnir."]
["Forged in the heart of a dying star."]
["Its power has no equal!"]
["As a weapon to destroy..."]
["Or as a tool to build."]
["Tis' a fit companion for a King."]
[...]
In the small town in New Mexico.
Everyone was looking at the screen with brilliant eyes. To them, the solemn Asgard hall looked magnificent. They kept their eyes wide open. They were all standing in place; it was difficult for them to move.
Odin's words, like thunder, stunned them.
"Forged in the heart of a dying star?"
Professor Erik Selvig opened his mouth and exclaimed out loud.
When a star was about to reach the end of its life, its mass would collapse like wildfire.
Eventually turning into a white dwarf star or even a neutron star!
'But who could cast a weapon inside a dying star? That's ridiculous!'
At this moment, Professor Erik instantly remembered the image he had seen on the same screen earlier.
In that scene, Thor relied on his physical body to resist the impact of the neutron star's heat.
Relying on the neutron star's furnace, the Stormbreaker was cast!
Thinking of that, Professor Erik lightly sighed, and his eyes revealed envy.
'Using the most fearsome power in the universe to forge a weapon!'
'Are these real gods?'
"It's beautiful! So powerful!"
Darcy looked at the splendid hall on the screen, and little stars appeared in her eyes. Then, she looked at Thor with a dream-like gaze.
Jane was in a trance. She reached up and covered her forehead, feeling a bit dizzy.
If anything, she still had a hint of doubt about Thor before. Now, it had completely disappeared; there was no more doubt.
The huge blond man in a T-shirt and jeans in front of her was the legendary Prince of Asgard of the Norse gods, the God of Thunder who wielded infinite divine power.
...
[Odin: "I have defended Asgard, and the lives of the innocent across the Nine realms, from the time of the great beginning..."]
["Though the day has come..."]
["Thor! Do you swear to guard the Nine Realms?"]
In Asgard, Odin looked at himself holding Gungnir on screen, and a sudden glint of doubt shot out of his one eye.
'What's going on?'
Odin remembered very clearly that Loki had disappeared from the hall before he had a chance to finish his speech.
Then, there was a big screen right above the hall, and things started to go out of control ...
The things that were happening on screen right now would have happened if everything went 'normal.'
But in Odin's opinion, this was instead what was most abnormal!
Before long, an idea flashed through Odin's mind.
At this moment, his pupil contracted, and he couldn't help gasping, seemingly surprised by his own speculation.
"This is... time divergence. A multiverse?"
...
In Kamar Taj.
At this time, Master Ancient One not only stopped shaking the fan in her hand but also turned solemn.
"I see."
Master Ancient One lightly sighed, and her expression regained her normal calmness.
"Mordo."
The Ancient One pointed to the big screen with her fan.
"Do you remember how that Time Variance Authority prevented Multiverses from being created in the first place?"
Mordo gently nodded, and then, all of a sudden, his body suddenly stiffened. His face turned pale.
"No! Does that mean we're in ..."
The Ancient One nodded her head and had an unexplainable emotion in her tone.
"Since the appearance of this big screen, what we're in now is a brand-new universe born after the divergence in time."
"What is playing on the screen now is our universe ... in its natural evolution, without the interference of this system."
After the Ancient One's words fell, the entire Kamar Taj's square fell silent.
The atmosphere instantly froze.
In the silence, everyone looked at the Ancient One, who started shaking her fan again.
There was panic, shock, doubt, confusion and tension in their eyes.
Both Master Wong and Master Mordo were dumbfounded. They were deeply affected.
After all, what Master Ancient One had just said was really too shocking!
In front of such astonishing and explosive information, no one could stay calm!
"Gulp~!"
Master Mordo carefully swallowed, trying to organise words in his mind. In the end, he reluctantly said...
"Master, if it's really because of the appearance of this screen in front of us, leading to the creation of the new Multiverse, wouldn't the Time Variance Authority intervene?"
Hearing that, the surrounding crowd of apprentices was startled again.
After watching Loki's video request, they all knew what the Time Variance Authority would do.
To put it bluntly, the way those guys solved this kind of problem was to 'cut' the branches away!
Who would want that?!
Some apprentices couldn't help but look around, and their faces changed at the thought that those minutemen, with strange weapons, could rush out of a portal at any time.
Seeing that the apprentices looked frightened, the Ancient One continued...
"You don't have to worry for now. If the Time Variance Authority wanted to step in, they would have done so the minute the screen appeared. They wouldn't have waited this long."
"And ..."
The Ancient One looked up to the sky and slowly said...
"And ... even if the TVA makes a move, could they really shake the authority behind the screen in front of us and the power it holds?"
When everyone heard the Ancient One say so, Master Wong, Master Mordo and the others felt horrified.
At this moment, they only felt like there were pins and needles on their scalps. A chill ran up their backs!
'This mysterious system may actually ... be from something that even the TVA couldn't interfere with?!'
With some difficulty, Master Wong asked...
"Master, according to what you're saying, what's happening on screen right now, isn't our future, but another Multiverse?"
Master Ancient One gently nodded her head.
All the apprentices were dumbfounded. Their spirits were in a trance, feeling as if they were dreaming.
Such a shocking fact was beyond their imagination!
...
In the live streaming room, Loki looked at the big screen in front of him, and his expression was a bit strange.
Out of his keen instincts as the God of Mischief, he also sensed that something was wrong.
But before he could think too deeply, the picture on-screen changed.
