The scenes Fang Yuan showed Odin were all just flashbacks, revealing no concrete clues.
However, the sorrow and desolation within them were clearly transmitted to Odin.
"Is this all... real?" Odin asked, his brow furrowed.
Fang Yuan nodded: "You know, we Sorcerers Supreme are friends of time."
Odin's expression was very solemn; the fact that the Sorcerer Supreme possessed the Time Stone was naturally no secret to him.
"What you've shown are just different possibilities on the timeline," Odin said, not easily intimidated.
"But they are the events most likely to happen," Fang Yuan said, spreading his palms, "given how things are currently developing."
Odin thought of the two brothers currently fighting each other on the Bifrost Bridge, and he had to admit that his arrangements for Thor and Loki had been a complete failure.
Thus, Odin asked: "In an alliance with Asgard, what do you hope to gain?"
Fang Yuan had already thought it through. "Asgard's magic, forging knowledge, and, of course, military support when necessary."
Odin, however, sensed a different implication.
"Who are you trying to deal with?"
Fang Yuan didn't answer directly but transmitted another scene instead.
On Earth's streets, humans suddenly turned to dust, dissipating in the wind; planes fell from the sky, and pile-ups were everywhere—a complete scene of apocalypse.
"Is this the future Midgard?" Odin roughly understood Fang Yuan's meaning.
Fang Yuan smiled and said: "Our Worlds both face the same threat. After he destroys Asgard, his next target will be Earth, so working together to change all this is the best way."
"Who is the enemy?" Odin asked.
Fang Yuan chose to hide it, shaking his head: "I'm not sure."
Without the Infinity Stones, if Thanos were targeted by Odin, even if Odin couldn't kill him, Thanos at least wouldn't have a comfortable time, and perhaps even the Black Order would be broken up.
He was still counting on Thanos to help him unite different factions; it wouldn't be good if the big villain was exposed too early.
Therefore, he didn't even show the scene of half of humanity turning to ash while the other half lived; after all, many in the Universe knew of Thanos's bizarre habit of only slaughtering half of all living beings each time.
"Even the Sorcerer Supreme doesn't know?" Odin was very puzzled.
Fang Yuan responded helplessly: "The enemy also possesses a Time Stone in the future and has hidden their identity."
Odin's brow furrowed even tighter.
The enemy having a Time Stone proved that the Sorcerer Supreme was already gone.
An enemy that even the Sorcerer Supreme couldn't stop... In Odin's mind, the expected strength of this unidentified enemy rose infinitely, and his vigilance reached its peak.
If Thanos knew about this from the original plot, he would probably feel very honored.
"You flatter me; I'll wait until you're all dead before I personally come out to cause trouble."
"As for the alliance, what do you plan to do?" Odin asked again.
As soon as he asked this, Fang Yuan knew he had succeeded.
The current Odin, after all, was no longer the iron-blooded monarch of the past; as he approached his twilight years, Odin had become very sentimental. From now on, Frigga, Thor, Asgard, and Loki were the most important things in his heart.
Now that these things he treasured faced a fatal threat, it was impossible for Odin to sit idly by.
Of course, there was also the reason involving the Ancient One.
If the Sorcerer Supreme hadn't been involved, Odin wouldn't have been willing to listen to Fang Yuan's side of the story.
So, Fang Yuan struck while the iron was hot: "Every subtle change in choice can affect the overall situation later. Why not start with—Loki!"
A look of surprise flashed across Odin's face.
Fang Yuan continued: "I know your original plan was for Thor and Loki to be brothers, growing up together since childhood, then Loki would return to Jotunheim to be King while Thor became the King of Asgard. This way, the two old rivals, Jotunheim and Asgard, could make peace."
"But you overlooked that Loki is a child with his own thoughts, and your act of defaulting Thor as the heir to the throne greatly hurt Loki, which is why he became so extreme."
"But I am different!" Fang Yuan's tone became high-pitched. "I can see the soft heart Loki hides beneath his sinister and cold exterior. If we want to change the future, let's start with Loki!"
"I can let him know of your love for him, and I can teach Loki how to interact with others sincerely."
"Hand him over to me, and I'll return to you a happy, reunited family!"
Now Fang Yuan's Talk-no-jutsu skills were truly getting stronger and stronger; he even dared to bluff the God King to his face.
However, everything he said was exactly what Odin hoped for, so Odin was quite moved.
"Very well!"
Odin finally agreed, but he also had a condition.
"A formal alliance must wait until after the Sorcerer Supreme and I meet in person," he said.
This was a matter of great importance; Odin certainly had to consult with the big player behind Fang Yuan.
"No problem!" Fang Yuan agreed decisively.
"You'd never guess, would you? The big player behind me listens to me!" he thought gleefully.
"But it will probably have to wait for a while."
Fang Yuan suddenly said: "It's probably not convenient for the God King to leave Asgard, and for the Sorcerer Supreme to come over... we'll have to wait until after the Bifrost Bridge is repaired!"
Odin quickly looked outside and saw that after Thor had grabbed the Eternal Spear, he was also unable to shatter the ice of the casket of ancient winters. So, to prevent the Bifrost Bridge from destroying Jotunheim, he actually raised Mjolnir and forcibly smashed the Bifrost Bridge apart!
Bifrost Bridge: "What did I do wrong? I forbid you from eating Skittles for the rest of your life!"
And now, the two brothers had been thrown off the Bifrost Bridge by the Impact of the explosion, appearing as if they were about to fall into the void.
The sleeping Odin snapped his eyes open, causing Fang Yuan to instantly return to reality. Then, before he could even blink, Odin had teleported from the Heavenly Palace to the Bifrost Bridge, catching Thor with the Eternal Spear. At the critical moment, Thor didn't forget to grab his brother, allowing Loki to also catch onto the Eternal Spear.
"Father!"
Seeing Odin, Thor was overjoyed; he had once thought Odin was dead, and seeing his father's figure again was wonderful.
Loki, however, immediately explained: "I almost succeeded, Father!"
"I almost wiped them out!"
"For you, for everyone!"
Odin's eyes filled with tears as he looked lovingly at Loki and shook his head: "No, Loki."
What he wanted to say was that Loki didn't need to do this for Odin to love him, but Loki thought Odin was rejecting his efforts.
Thus, utterly disheartened, he simply let go of the hand holding the Eternal Spear, allowing himself to fall into the void.
"Loki, no!" Thor cried out in grief.
"No!" Odin was also filled with regret.
"Couldn't you pull him up first before trying to talk to him?"
At that moment, Fang Yuan's complaining voice suddenly rang out in Odin's mind, and he hurriedly looked over.
It turned out that an invisible Fang Yuan had also arrived at their side.
During the explosion, Fang Yuan was in the Bifrost Bridge's transmission chamber and had also been knocked away by the Impact.
But his advantage over Thor and Loki was that—he could fly.
Loki couldn't, and Thor couldn't without his hammer.
"And they call themselves Asgardian gods; they're not even as good as my Little Angel Warren," Fang Yuan thought.
"Help me!" Odin said quickly.
At this moment, he was no longer the lofty God King, but just an ordinary old father.
Fang Yuan immediately responded: "Give me your divine power!"
After Odin complied, Fang Yuan decisively jumped off the Bifrost Bridge, diving straight toward the falling Third Princess.
If Loki were truly a princess, this scene would actually be quite romantic... "Ahem!"
Loki opened his eyes and found himself lying in a space of pure white.
He scrambled to his feet.
"Am I dead?" he muttered to himself.
"That's right, you're dead!" Fang Yuan's voice suddenly appeared in the area, "And it was the self-sacrificing Uncle Fang who saved you!"
Loki jumped in startlement: "Why are you here?"
"I clearly... killed you!"
Fang Yuan wore a mysterious smile: "I said that when you were down and out, I would come and ask one more time if you were willing to join my side. How could I die easily before then?"
He looked up and down at the disheveled Loki: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you really have hit rock bottom."
Loki's face darkened; he knew nothing good came of meeting Fang Yuan, and this mockery was unavoidable.
But at the same time, his heart was filled with even more awe toward Fang Yuan. He had seen Fang Yuan killed by the Destroyer with his own eyes; setting aside how he survived, the main point was that he was currently falling through the void beneath the Bifrost Bridge—how on Earth had Fang Yuan found him?
The answer, of course, was thanks to Odin's divine power.
Additionally, the casting buffs from the Ancient One Template allowed Fang Yuan to use that divine power to protect Loki from the effects of spatial turbulence.
"You saved me?" Loki asked, unaware of the truth.
"Of course!" Fang Yuan answered decisively: "It was I who saved you!"
To avoid Odin's divine power getting moody, Fang Yuan immediately changed the subject: "My invitation still stands, but as you are now, being the King of Asgard is out of the question."
"Come and be a superstar, just like Thor!"
Fang Yuan proposed again: "I can feel that Odin actually does care about you."
"He does not!" Loki said with some agitation, "I am just a trophy from his victory over the Frost Giants!"
Fang Yuan simply presented the facts, transmitting a scene to Loki—it was the image of Odin weeping as he gazed in the direction where Loki had disappeared after falling into the void.
Loki was stunned.
He had never seen Odin show such an expression for his sake.
"Odin just doesn't know how to interact with you. If you're like Thor and let everyone see what you're truly like, Odin will understand that he misunderstood you before."
"The rest of Asgard will also know that you, Loki, have your own shining points!"
"What's the point of hiding in a small corner playing schemes? Only by becoming a superstar and making a name for yourself will others take you seriously!"
Fang Yuan spoke with such passion that his words truly resonated with Loki.
Of course, the most important thing was the massive Impact of the scene Fang Yuan showed him of Odin weeping.
Loki was like a child who felt abandoned, and suddenly discovering that his parents actually loved him gave him an intense joy of finding something he thought was lost.
"What do you want me to do?" Loki asked.
Although he found Fang Yuan very annoying, if he could achieve what Fang Yuan described, he didn't mind joining.
Furthermore, there was a stir in Loki's heart because he suddenly realized that from beginning to end, Fang Yuan had been affirming his value—something Loki desperately craved from others.
So, he decided to trust Fang Yuan once.
"Lean in."
Fang Yuan smilingly explained his plan to Loki, whose expression shifted constantly as he listened.
"You really are..." Loki looked at Fang Yuan in disbelief, trying to find the right words, "The title 'God of Mischief' should be given to you instead!"
"I'm certain that's not what you wanted to say just now." Fang Yuan didn't mind, taking it as a compliment from Loki.
"Are you in or not?" he asked.
"It's dangerous." Loki suddenly laughed out loud: "But very interesting. I'm in!"
A moment later, Loki left the pure white space and opened his eyes again.
He found that he had landed on a civilized Planet, with several alien guards surrounding him.
"Where is this?" he asked.
A guard answered loudly: "This is the territory of the Chitauri Civilization. Intruder, state your identity!"
Loki didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
