We did it! Chapter 100!🎉🎉🎉
Honestly, I didn't expect this thing to go beyond ch 20. But here we are.
First, a big thank you for all the people who are still reading this. There have been plenty of mistakes and plot holes. Believe me I know. But I don't exactly have the time to go back and fix anything at the moment.
When the opportunity presents itself I will go over the fic and fix it up. I got my hands on the Black Widow movie to fix up the 3 god-forsaken chapters that I regret writing. They still haunt my sleep at night 🤣

It's been 2 weeks since me and Nat arrived on Asgard. And I have finally read the last book in this library. Increasing the number of shadow clones was the start. Then using the Artificial Mind Stone to speed up the memorization process even further than it already is.
Some magic to help me as well. And boom. Nonstop grinding for a week and I did it. To be fair it's not like there was anything complicated. Only 1/3 of the library was about magic. The rest was literature and documents, and books from all around the library. Those were easy to memorize.
After careful consideration I made all the clones focus on the library. I also didn't do any training at all these two weeks. Just meditated to make all the knowledge I got less painful.
The next thing that made me happy is that I can feel that the Artificial Time Stone is almost done. That's stone number 2 almost complete.
So I can start on the Space Stone, which was still in the cube, Tesseract.
Now the Asgardians. They actually warmed up to me a bit. This was after me pummeling them to the ground. That's what they get for hitting on Nat and calling me 'Not manly'.
And Asgardians beeing Asgardians had a huge party after their loss. Their attitude turned a 180. They respect strength and seeing as I'm a hella lot stronger than me they respect me now.
Loki beeing Loki. Tried to cause trouble with me and steal my 'clone technique'. But every time he got near me I would blast him out of Thor's range and watch him get zapped by Thor's lightning.
It was incredibly amusing. Honestly, at the rate he is getting zapped. He might develop Lightning Resistance.
Thor seeing that I wasn't going to kill him. Challenged me to fight. After each fight, he was getting stronger and stronger.
That kinda worked out for me. I got to use my many, many abilities on him. An extremely durable punching bag.
The pokemons + dragon were causing chaos for the residents. And by that I mean I dump them in front of anyone I don't like and watch the chaos unfold. For example, Loki being dogpiled by weird alien animals. Good times.
That picture has already been immortalized on the internet and has hundreds of thousands of likes. And is currently hung on every bar in Asgard.
Loki actually passed out when he found that out. When I made fun of him about it, he said that even if he becomes king now. Nobody will ever respect him and will always remember that picture.
His logic made me pause and realize he is right. Then I laughed even harder. I love my brain. sometimes my genius frightens me. Dude led an alien invasion on my planet. I won't feel bad about him.
Odin.. has been quiet. And tolerates my existence. But he has been getting weaker rapidly. Which doesn't make sense since with his current lifeforce he could hold on for a few more years. I'm guessing Hella is doing something on the other side. Man am I glad I finished the library.
I don't give a shit about Asgard now. And since it was always going to be destroyed, I won't stop it. Except if by some miracle I form an alliance with Hella. Then she can keep Asgard and fight Thanos for me. Unlikely, but a guy can dream.
Nat has grown by leaps and bounds. Turns out she has a knack for Nordic Magic. And with me having read all the books, comprehending it, compressing the knowledge and giving it to her. She saves precious time. I just throw away all the useless things and give the important stuff to her. It's like a student got cheat sheets for all their classes for all the years.
She spars a lot with Asgards Sorcerers. They are kinda ostracized by the others for not fighting like true warriors but are still a vital part of Asgard.
But people who can fight and use magic are hailed as geniuses.
This place is weird. This is what happens when you give Vikings interstellar technology. Barbarians with fancy weapons that can teleport across planets. I think that sums up Asgard pretty nicely.
### (one week later)
Me and Nat have been constantly training in Nordic Magic. I have been spending time with her while my clones have been grinding at my other 'skills/abilities.
Nat is improving at a good pace. In a few months, she should be able to fight a master on even ground. Her Eldritch and Nordic magic are pretty even. But the latter will be stronger soon just because she is more talented in it.
Nat is a generally talented woman in everything. You kind of need to be a jack of all trades to be a super spy.
I'm pretty sure she can wipe the floor with Stark and Cap if she wanted to. Magic in general is hard to counter. She could in theory write Nordic Runes on Starks armor and freeze him in place or just turn off his power. That would be a funny scene to film.
Odin has been getting weaker. Which is worrying. This didn't happen in the OG timeline. And it's still early for Hella to appear. But the 'Piece of shit who made the system' did mention he convinced the God that oversees Marvel to up the difficulty.
So it's possible that Hella is brute-forcing the Seal not that Odin has just a few years left. She waited until Odin died in the Original Timeline. But this time she is forcing it to break.
I'm still having an inner debate as to whether or not to just give Asgard to Hella on a silver platter. I mean there are no benefits to saving this place. I have already gotten everything I need from here.
Stay and try to talk with a psychotic Death Goddess or just leave. Nah ain't risking it. I'm still under that Vow I made. Which is pretty restricting.. but since it's Nen. It can also be broken. I would probably lose some of my strength. But given how strong I am now. I can use ridiculously OP powers to make sure I lose as little as possible.
Another thing is meditation. The system is pushing me towards a certain path. I get that is called Meditation System. But something doesn't feel right. The more I meditate. The more uneasy I feel.
The Artificial Time Stone should from in a day or two. That will give me a good boost and an even better way to practice my Chronomancy. Which hasn't shown much improvement. I only let my clones practice that. 90% of the time they dispel because they make a mistake and it kills them.
Shadow Clines for the win. Without them, I would have died the first time I even tried to use the Magic.
Sigh at the end of the day I only need to keep getting stronger. That's the only thing I can do. Once I get all the stones. I should be able to isolate Nat and myself from this messed-up Universe.
