After the great battle, Wakanda was a complete mess.
Leon and the others searched for a long time and could hardly find a place to set foot.
In the end, it was Groot who wove a temporary walkway with both hands, allowing the three of them to reunite with the prehistoric Black Panther.
“Sorcerer…” At that moment, Leon shifted his gaze to Agamotto.
“There is one more thing I would like to ask of you…” Although he had experienced a series of events in the Earth Realm, Leon had never forgotten the mission that had brought him here.
His mother’s lifespan was nearing its end.
If he could not bring the Time Stone back, his mother would leave him.
Therefore, no matter the reason, Leon had to take the Time Stone back with him.
Hearing Leon’s words, Agamotto said bluntly, “You want this?” As he spoke, Agamotto had already taken out the Time Stone in his hand.
Leon nodded.
“Yes…” The Time Stone could increase lifespan.
This was an ability the other Infinity Stones did not possess.
With it, Leon was confident that he could let his mother live for a while longer.
Agamotto glanced at Odin.
After a moment, he handed the stone to Leon.
“Take it.
This time, it was thanks to all of you that the Earth Realm was able to turn danger into safety…” For some reason, Agamotto could sense killing intent from the emperor-like man.
If he did not hand over the Time Stone, that man named Odin would definitely attack him.
As the Sorcerer Supreme, Agamotto believed his own strength was still very powerful.
However, these two brothers were also owners of Infinity Stones.
Just Odin alone already felt extremely difficult to deal with.
If the two brothers joined forces against him, then even if the people of Wakanda were added in, they might still not be a match for Odin and his brother.
Rather than that, it was better to hand over the stone voluntarily.
“Good…” After Leon held the Time Stone in his hand, the heavy stone in his heart immediately fell away.
He solemnly promised Agamotto, “Sorcerer, I swear in the name of Asgard’s royal family that I will definitely return this Time Stone…” The main timeline of Marvel was about to begin.
Leon had no need to become enemies with the line of Sorcerers Supreme in the Earth Realm.
In Leon’s impression, he still had a very favorable view of the Sorcerers Supreme.
If not for Doctor Strange’s sacrifice, how could the many superheroes have had the chance to turn the situation around?
Seeing that the Time Stone had already been obtained, Odin’s expression eased slightly.
When he heard his younger brother’s promise, he also nodded heavily.
The two brothers were influential figures in the Nine Realms.
One was the greatest overlord of the Nine Realms, while the other was Asgard’s second-in-command.
There was no need for them to lose face over a single Time Stone.
Although the Time Stone was precious, the credibility of Asgard’s royal family was even more precious than the Time Stone.
Agamotto responded, “No problem.
Asgard.
I will remember it…” This sudden appearance of the Celestial had allowed Agamotto to learn of the forces beyond the Earth Realm.
If he could board Asgard’s great ship, the Earth Realm would become much safer.
“Good.
We’ll head back first.
Once I’ve used it, I’ll return it to you…” After Leon finished speaking, he signaled for his elder brother to leave.
Odin understood.
He shouted toward the sky, and then the Rainbow Bridge appeared.
Groot, Odin, and Leon all entered the Rainbow Bridge.
The prehistoric Black Panther and Agamotto waved goodbye to the three of them at the same time.
Only after the Rainbow Bridge disappeared did the two finally let out a breath in unison.
After a while, the prehistoric Black Panther was the first to speak.
“They won’t break their promise, will they?” “No…” Agamotto shook his head.
“Those two are too powerful.
I am not their opponent either.
If they wanted to seize it by force, none of us could stop them.
But they did not do that…” “They should be important figures from beyond the Earth Realm.
It is clear that they would not bother lying to me.” The prehistoric Black Panther looked at Wakanda, which had already become ruins.
In the end, he could only sigh.
“A troubled time…” … “Your Majesty, Prince Wells…” Seeing Leon and Odin walk down from the Rainbow Bridge together, Celt and Heimdall bowed at the same time.
“Wells…” Odin did not pay attention to Heimdall and Celt.
He turned to Leon beside him and said, “I suddenly have an idea.
If we collect all six stones, could we conquer the Nine Realms earlier?” Hearing Odin’s words, Heimdall and Celt, who had originally been standing at the side, instantly froze in place.
They did not dare raise their heads and lowered them instead.
At that moment, they wished they could tear off their own ears.
How did we hear something like this?
The same thought appeared in both of their hearts.
Prince Wells and His Majesty Odin were currently the two most important figures in Asgard.
The conversation between them was not just a sudden whim.
This was a conversation related to the changing situation of the Nine Realms.
“So my elder brother truly did once have the thought of collecting the Infinity Stones…” Hearing Odin’s words, Leon sighed inwardly.
In the movie Thor: Ragnarok, Hela had once seen an Infinity Gauntlet in Odin’s treasury.
The facts proved that Odin had also once collected the six Infinity Stones.
It was just unknown why he had failed in the end.
“Elder Brother…” Leon said solemnly, “The six stones are scattered beyond the universe.
Some of them are not even within the Nine Realms.
Trying to collect them… would be an exhausting task with little reward.
Besides, one stone requires its wielder to sacrifice someone closest to them.
Elder Brother, do you truly want to do that?” There were six Infinity Stones in total.
Leon and Odin now possessed three of them.
The remaining Power Stone, Mind Stone, and Soul Stone were scattered across various corners of the universe.
The Power Stone and Mind Stone were still manageable.
The most fatal one was the Soul Stone.
It required the sacrifice of a life.
Even Leon had never thought of collecting it.
Hearing his younger brother’s words, Odin’s pupils shrank.
He could hardly believe it.
“Truly?” Leon naturally did not dare deceive Odin.
He nodded without hesitation.
“Absolutely true.
So, Elder Brother… you must think carefully before acting!” Seeing Odin fall into thought, Leon struck while the iron was hot.
“Elder Brother, with the abilities of you and me, why must we collect all six stones?” “You must know, right now, our Asgard is already nearly invincible within the Nine Realms.
Could it be that you still lack the confidence to deal with those filthy people?” Leon’s words made Odin wake as if from a dream.
That was right.
After tens of thousands of years of war, Asgard was now the strongest force in the Nine Realms.
Even the giants of the Nine Realms had acknowledged their overlord status.
Thinking of this, Odin said with high spirits, “There is no need for the Infinity Stones.
Give me some more time, and I can unify the Nine Realms!” Leon echoed in response, “Excellent…” Now that the main Marvel timeline was about to begin, the unification of the Nine Realms was also an urgent matter.
Leon did not want Odin to waste great effort collecting the Infinity Stones, because this was not an easy matter.
Back then, Thanos had also spent a very long time collecting the Infinity Stones.
In the early Avengers period, behind nearly every stone, there was the shadow of Thanos or one of his subordinates.
“Come.
Let us return.” Odin immediately dismissed the thought of collecting the Infinity Stones.
“Father and Mother should have been waiting for a long time…” Leon greeted Heimdall and Celt, then hurried toward his mother’s location.
… Seeing her father and uncle activate the Infinity Stones at the same time, Hela, standing to the side, murmured to herself, “Sever time, then seal it with space.
That way, it will succeed…” Leon smiled and glanced at Hela.
“I didn’t expect you, little girl, to understand so much!” Former Queen Catherine was already on the verge of death.
In complete contrast to sealing the Celestial robot, Leon first used the Time Stone to sever his mother’s timeline, then used the Space Stone to cut off all contact between this palace and the outside world.
In this way, Catherine would be able to continue living.
However, this was not immortality.
Although Catherine’s lifespan had been extended, she would never again be able to leave this palace.
In a certain sense, the former Queen Catherine had already become a prisoner.
Perhaps, at some point in the future, Mother will grow tired of this life!
Leon sighed inwardly.
Death was the law of heaven and earth, the natural order of all things.
Even with the Time Stone, he could not guarantee that his mother would live forever.
Hela looked at her uncle with dissatisfaction.
“You’re the little one…” “Hahaha…” Leon was in an excellent mood at that moment and did not mind Hela’s retort.
Only half an hour later did Odin and Leon finish arranging the magic.
When Bor saw his wife survive the calamity, he could not help letting out a sigh of relief.
Odin, Leon, and Hela walked out of Catherine’s bedchamber, leaving the time to their father and mother.
Outside the palace, Odin looked at the beautiful scenery of Asgard and said loudly, “I have decided to launch the final war and completely resolve the disputes of the Nine Realms…” If Leon had not encountered the Celestial robot during his journey to the Earth Realm, he would have stopped Odin at this moment.
After all, Asgard still had many enemies.
To solve them once and for all was almost impossible.
However, after personally witnessing the strength of the Celestials, Leon knew that there was not much time left.
If the Nine Realms were not unified as soon as possible, then later, they would not be able to gather the strength of the Nine Realms to face future enemies.
Leon said in a deep voice, “The Nine Realms must be unified!” … A few days after Leon returned to Asgard, Asgard declared war on Vanaheim once again.
At the same time, four realms—Vanaheim, Helheim, Svartalfheim, and Muspelheim—declared war on Asgard.
The Nine Realms shook.
