Adrian grimaced. The form he was in right now, the embodiment of his will was only as powerful as his willpower. His willpower was high, very high from enduring the pain from his dimension for hundreds of years. But right now he was panicking a little.
One, he didn't have any way to block his presence from being known by the powerful beings of this universe and two, while the embodiment of his will was very powerful because of his high willpower, it only granted access to some of his powers and it wasn't as powerful as his main body..
As Adrian thought about how to hide his presence from TVA or The Living Tribunal Draalok finally finished his evolution. His height didn't increase but his power shot through the roof.
He was now an Elite Ranked Nether lifeform, and if before he was comparable to the hulk now he could one shot both the hulk and every single Avenger without using any form of energy, his body became that much stronger now. The only thing that changed about him was his exponential increase in power and a third eye on his forehead. The third eye on his forehead signified the unique ability he had gained upon becoming an Elite Ranked nether lifeform.
"Master." Draalok said in an even deeper voice due to his evolution
"May I keep the staff you gave to me?" Draalok asked
Adrian, distracted by his thoughts on how to hide his presence, finally noticed Draalok's completed evolution.
"You may keep the staff." Adrian replied
"Also get ready, we're going somewhere."
"Yes master." Draalok replied happily
After some thinking, Adrian decided to go pay Asgard a visit, he wanted to see if he was in the comics or the MCU, meeting Odin and seeing how powerful he was would be the key to knowing that.
"Now where the hell is Asgard." Adrian muttered
"Master, are you in need of assistance?" Draalok suddenly said.
"I'm trying to locate a place called Asgard, it's not hidden in the conventional way but rather it's in an entirely separate realm." Adrian continued
"The blonde human." Draalok suddenly said.
"The blonde human mentioned something about Asgard and how a being called the All-Father would kill you, master."
"Luckily, I've put him in his place." Draalok continued
'Hmmm….. this might not be the comics if he so easily took down thor.' Adrian thought
'Not even mentioning the later versions of Thor, base Thor in the comics could probably kill him.'
'Well, he could probably kill him before he evolved, now that he evolved he's become a lot stronger, based on his energy reserves of nether energy I'd say he could probably destroy a star in terms of raw damage output.'
'But in marvel, and many other universes, how much damage you can do is almost always not enough.' Adrian continued
'Usually, hacks trumps raw strength the majority of the time.'
"So how do you intend to help me locate Asgard?" Adrian asked
"I think a demonstration would be better, master." Draalok replied
Moments after saying that Draalok approached the hammer of Thor that had survived Adrian's will entering this universe. It didn't survive without a scratch though, the hammer had several dents on it, showcasing Adrian's power and its high defensive capabilities that even surpassed vibranium.
Draalok grasped the handle of the hammer trying to pick it up, "One second master." Draalok said to Adrian. Almost instantly, Draalok's third eye opened, staring at the hammer. The pupil of his third eye was crimson red while his sclera was bright gold, his pupil rapidly spun as soon as it opened as it stared at the hammer.
Slowly, Draalok became able to lift the hammer as he went from not being able to move it an inch, to being able to swing it around as if it was a mere stick from a tree. Draalok's third eye stopped spinning and closed as he looked at Adrian and said, "I've found the place master."
"What did you do just now?" Adrian asked in interest
"My new third eye allows me to see the truth of everything it gazes at, this includes its history and everywhere whatever I'm looking at has ever been. Anything that I'm looking at with my third eye I can also control and change its state and nature." Draalok replied.
"For example." Draalok continued as he placed the hammer down and took up a metal pipe from one of the many destroyed buildings.
"This is solid, if I were to look at it with my third eye, not only would I know everything and anything about it but I would also be able to change its state and nature." Draalok said as he did just that, his third once again opened and stared at the metal pipe. Another moment later the metal pipe instantly turned into pure, clean water.
"All I did here was change the metal's state from solid to liquid."
"The hammer that blonde human had is made up of a very powerful metal, not only that it has some markings inside its core that I am unfamiliar with." Draalok replied embarrassedly
"It would be weird if you did recognise them." Adrian said
"Those 'markings' are runes, it is what caused you to not be able to lift the hammer. I'm assuming all you did to be able to move it was change its state from runes to no runes am I right?"
"It is as master expected." Draalok replied
"Lead the way then." Adrian said.

* 30 minutes later *
Standing in front of seemingly nowhere was where Asgard was located according to Draalok. Due to Asgard being located in a different realm to get there Adrian would have to rip space apart to enter.
"Lets say hi to them." Adrian said as he laughed
Adrian's form started to change, the shadow that he was because of this being the embodiment of his will started to change. He didn't have a body but he could still form a form that looked like a body. His shadowy body started to compress and become compact as slowly, a more 'human' form came into view.
Skin formed on him, turning deathly pale, his hair turned entirely white, opposite to his sclera, with his pupil being dark red, giving him a ghostly look and a dark contrast.
Grabbing space with his bare hands, Adrian pulled and ripped apart space showing what was on the other side. On the other side was a breathtaking view, on the other side of the rift was a vast expanse of vibrant colors painted across the sky, illuminated by twin suns setting behind golden spires. As the rift widened, the ethereal beauty of Asgard unfolded before him,an awe-inspiring city that seemed to float among the clouds, radiating an aura of both power and majesty.
Adrian stepped through the rift and Draalok followed, almost instantly, Dralook's third eye opened looking at everything in amazement and greed. The air was thick with the scent of magic and the distant echoes of laughter and revelry, everything Draalok looked at provided him with so much information that if he had this ability before he evolved. The amount of information he was receiving right now would have caused his eyes and his brain to explode.
"This place is old....very old." Draalok muttered.
"This is Asgard, a place of power and peace."Adrian said to Draalok
"But we didn't come for peace, kill everything that moves." Adrian ordered.
'I need to determine whether or not this is the comics or MCU, if it's the MCU then I won't even be needed to fight Odin, the current Draalok alone could handle him. But if it's the comics then I would have to fight him.' Adrian thought
"With pleasure, master." Draalok creepily smiled
Draalok's third eye widned, spreading his eyesight in his third eye to look at as much people as possible. After his third eye widened he could now see basically the entire population of Asgard which only amounted to 50, 000 people.
Adrian surveyed the breathtaking panorama before him. He could see the glistening towers of gold and silver, their grandeur bathed in the ethereal glow of the setting twin suns. The city of Asgard was alive with the laughter and chatter of its inhabitants, a stark contrast to the grim and dark places Adrian had prepared to bring them all to.
"Master," Draalok's voice resonated with palpable excitement, "I can see everything! Their strengths, their weaknesses. However his voice started to die down as he saw something.
"There is one human with extremely high energy levels , I also can't seem to see anything at all about him nor can I change his state." Draalok said as his excitement died down.
"Hmm?" Adrian mouthed as he expanded his soul sense to cover the entire Asgard and see who Draalok was talking about.
Standing at a height of about 1.88 meters was an old man with an eyepatch in exquisite royal looking gold armour with long flowing white hair, a matching beard of the same colour and piercing intense eyes that stared right back at Adrian.
'Well, theres odin. This is definitely the fucking comics, the amount of energy he has is so goddamn much even with how old he is. Luckily for me this looks like the time he would die of old age based on how easily Draalok took care of Thor.' Adrian thought.
'I think I can take a weakened version of Odin with just the embodiment of my will right now,.'
'His Odinforce is depleting and unlike greek gods norse gods can die of old age which means he is far from his prime, if he was in his prime even with my full power and a vessel like Saitama's I would probably still lose.'
The next second Odin disappeared and appeared right in front of Adrian, at the same time a tall man in black armour appeared on the side of Draalok, swinging his large sword at Draalok, aiming to slice him in two.
'I've only got access to two of my abilities right now, the best ones though.' Adrian thought as he instantly activated the first ability, not giving Odin any time to attack or talk.
"Concept Eradication, Low output: Odin."
