From a Personal Standpoint

The two of them also saw an elderly white-haired man seated upon the throne at the end of the road, clad in armor and holding a divine spear, emanating an overwhelmingly powerful presence.

"Tony Stark, you are a member of the Void Cult."

"This time, you are willing to lend Asgard a hand."

"What is Kassadin’s stance on this?"

When Odin saw Tony Stark arrive, he turned around and asked.

"This matter has nothing to do with the Void Cult. I am acting entirely as a citizen of Blue Star in the Nine Realms, and I wish to contribute to the coming war."

Seeing Odin’s appearance and hearing those words, Tony lowered his head slightly and replied.

The full extent of God King Odin’s strength could only be glimpsed through rumors, but he ruled the Nine Realms and was regarded by countless beings across the universe as a godlike powerhouse.

Odin’s strength was undoubtedly terrifying. Although Tony had come to help, he still needed to observe proper etiquette.

Banner followed Tony’s lead and lowered his head slightly as well.

"So, Kassadin knows about this, but does not intend to intervene?"

Odin asked after hearing Tony’s answer.

Since Thor had gone to find Tony, Kassadin, who was also on Blue Star at the moment,

certainly knew about Malekith’s awakening and his plans.

Thus, Odin wanted to know Kassadin’s thoughts and decision.

If not for his advanced age and imminent end, which had made the power within him extremely unstable, then as long as he could remain in Asgard, no one would dare offend it.

"No one knows the will of the great God of the Void."

"I came here this time only on my own behalf and hold no other position."

"Therefore, I ask that you, God King Odin, do not make things difficult for me."

When Odin asked about Harvey’s intentions again, Tony directly changed the way he addressed him.

"I am not making things difficult for you. I am merely asking about the situation."

"A guest is a guest, and the two of you are here to help."

"Naturally, I will not bully you."

"You are friends with my two sons, so they will entertain you."

Hearing Tony’s words, Odin knew he would not be able to learn much about Kassadin from him, so he did not press further.

"Thank you for your mercy, God King Odin."

Tony showed a grateful expression and spoke.

Tony knew exactly how he ought to conduct himself while on Asgard’s territory and before God King Odin.

Loki, standing nearby, could no longer remain calm. He looked at Thor with a questioning gaze.

Sensing Loki’s question, Thor hurriedly shook his head, indicating that he had not told Father.

"Thor, Loki, properly entertain the two friends you brought back."

"You may leave."

Seeing his two sons silently exchange information, Odin did not pursue the matter and simply spoke.

"Yes!"

Thor and Loki, having been called out, hurriedly agreed.

Then Thor and Loki led Tony and Banner swiftly out of the Asgardian palace and toward their residence.

"Thor, you sold me out?"

After leaving the palace grounds, Loki looked at Thor in disbelief.

"I didn’t. I never told Father that you went to the Void Cult."

Thor earnestly defended himself.

"Then how did Father know Tony Stark’s identity?"

Loki asked with an unconvinced expression.

"It is perfectly normal for a father to investigate his children’s friends abroad."

"Besides, your father is God King Odin, whose reach extends everywhere. It is only natural that he would know."

Tony was not particularly surprised and spoke.

That was why he had not looked too shocked when his identity was exposed earlier.

"Then you should be grateful Father did not hold it against you, Loki."

Thor looked at Loki and spoke after hearing that.

"It does not matter whether he holds it against me or not. As long as you did not betray me, that is enough."

A warm current passed through Loki’s heart at Thor’s words, though he still acted utterly indifferent toward Father’s attitude.

"Other than the New York War, did Loki do anything else wrong?"

Banner, listening from the side, asked curiously.

Before Loki could stop Tony and Thor from saying anything,

"Nothing much. Loki ran off to the Void Cult and acted all high and mighty. He nearly died there."

Tony smiled and said casually.

"Yes. Fortunately, Tony was there at the time, so Loki managed to keep his life."

"Otherwise, even if I had wanted to help, I could not have."

After realizing that Father already knew Loki had gone to the Void Cult, Thor had fewer reservations and spoke.

"Loki, what exactly is the Void Cult like?"

Hearing that Loki had nearly died there, Banner looked at him and asked.

"It is not a good place. Better not to go."

Loki did not look pleased.

After all, when he had gone to the Void Cult, he had not even gotten the chance to display any of his schemes.

Because he was Asgard’s second prince, he had been directly refused and given no chance at all to receive a blessing. No one would have a favorable impression of the Void Cult after that.

Seeing Loki’s sour expression, Tony did not hold it against him for badmouthing the Void Cult.

Then the group made their way to Thor’s palace.

"Are you Mr. Tony Stark?"

When Jane Foster saw the people Thor had brought back, she recognized the familiar Iron Man armor on Tony and called out uncertainly.

"It is me. Mary Jane, it has been years since we last met. You are as radiant as ever."

Seeing Mary Jane, Tony greeted her.

"I mean no offense, but your appearance…"

After realizing this person really was Tony Stark, Jane Foster was puzzled.

"There are gods in this world already. Is it really so strange that I look a little younger?"

Tony said with a smile.

"All right, that does make sense."

Jane looked at Thor, then at Loki, who had been giving her unfriendly looks, and reluctantly accepted it.

"Jane, let me introduce you. This is Bruce Banner."

Thor spoke as well.

"Hello."

"My name is Jane Foster."

Hearing the name, Jane felt it was familiar. But after studying the equally unusually youthful Banner and realizing he did not match the photographs, she smiled.

"Hello. I heard the Aether is inside your body. Is that right?"

"Do you know what powers the Aether possesses?"

Banner nodded slightly in greeting, then directly voiced the question that had been weighing on his mind.

Seeing how eager Bruce Banner was, Jane involuntarily took two steps back.

"Banner, do not scare her."

"My apologies, Miss Jane. Banner is also a scientist, so he has been rather interested after hearing about the Aether’s extraordinary abilities."

"He means you no harm, so please rest assured."

Seeing Banner’s excitement, Tony directly pulled him behind himself and earnestly explained to Jane Foster.
