[The Eye of Agamotto]

Hearing this, Odin hurriedly returned to the Asgard Palace and came to Hela's room, where he saw Hela half-sitting on the bed, her head lowered, her face still a little confused, as if she was still waking up.

"Hela."

Only then did Hela look up and reply, "Father."

Odin sat aside and said with a smile, "You finally woke up. Haha, it seems that it is because of the gems, but don't worry, I have given up those Infinity Gems and don't plan to touch them again in the future."

Hela supported her forehead, then her face changed, grabbed Odin's hand and asked eagerly, "Where's my mother, how is she?"

The smile on Odin's face faded, and there was silence for a while. Finally, he said slowly, "She has left us... But Hela, life and death are things that everyone has to experience, the important thing is that after a good life—"

Before he finished speaking, Hela's face quickly paled, and her body couldn't help trembling, faintly exuding an unstable green glow.

Odin was stunned for a moment and then showed a happy expression, "You have awakened your divine power!"

Hela didn't respond, her face was still pale, and her eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, sliding down silently.

Odin continued, "My daughter, perhaps this is a gift from your mother. She is watching you in Valhalla, and I don't think she wants to see you so sad."

The atmosphere was quiet for a long time, but Hela's emotions still did not calm down. Instead, they became more and more intense. At first, she was silently crying, and gradually there was a bit of sobbing.

Odin couldn't help saying, "Hela, you are my only child, the future queen of Asgard. A king should learn to control their emotions."

Hela suddenly asked, "Father, do you love my mother?"

"I..." Odin was speechless.

He was silent for a long time, and the atmosphere suddenly solidified.

After a long while, Odin only sighed and said, "I won't find you a stepmother... Hela, rest well."

After that, he patted Hela on the shoulder and got up and left.

Looking at her father's departing figure, Hela was silent for a long time.

...

Pacific Ocean.

In the deep sea, Forseti and other Asgardian warriors pushed a new stone house to the deeper sea, followed by mages such as Scala.

Due to the accident that happened a few days ago, along the way, everyone looked nervous and cautious, for fear that another giant sea monster would suddenly appear.

However, the accident did not happen again. Except for a few sea beasts, everyone reached the bottom of the sea smoothly.

"This is the deepest trench on Midgard," Forseti said, and then he raised his hand to release the illumination technique, illuminating the dark seabed with golden brilliance.

Scala nodded, "Let's embed the stone house into the seabed."

Everyone worked together to clean up and open up a seabed, like inlaid gems, inlaid the integrated stone house into the seabed, making it close to the deepest part of the earth, or to become the deepest place on the earth.

Then the mages stood around the stone house, each holding a staff and looking serious.

Scala took out a blue crystal, the arc on it jumped, and the cloud pattern flowed. When he lifted his hand, the blue crystal flew to the top of the stone roof.

"Boom—"

The crystal exploded, turning into a thick, bright thunderous light that penetrated into the stone house from top to bottom, causing the surface of the stone house to emit a thunderous brilliance.

Then the mages waved their staffs together, and a golden chain of light flew out from their hands. After wrapping around the stone house, they slowly merged into it. In the end, the light on the stone house was exhausted, leaving only some mysterious lines and a symbol of Asgard, the triangle pattern of the god king.

Forseti had seen this pattern in many places, such as on Mjölnir.

"The seal is set, let's go," Scala said, taking one last look at the stone house before leading the crowd away.

In the stone house, Cul stood quietly in the center. He still maintained the expression of frowning that day, motionless, and seemed to be fixed on that day forever...

After disembarking, Scala took most of the people back to Asgard, while Forseti took Skurge, Andel, and Diops to stay on Midgard to help Agamotto rebuild the London Sanctuary.

At noon that day, Agamotto came out of the portal with his apprentice Cagliostro.

Forseti turned his head and saw that there was a pendant on Agamotto's chest. The pendant was shaped like a closed eye, with a slight bulge in the middle, as if an eyeball was wrapped.

The Eye of Agamotto.

Even if he recognized it, this eye-shaped pendant was the supreme sanctuary artifact of later generations, the Eye of Agamotto, and the bulge in the middle was where the Time Gem was.

"The Time Stone?" Forseti asked.

Agamotto nodded.

Forseti: "To what extent can you use the Time Stone now, and can you still use it the same way you imprisoned Cul that day?"

"Of course not. It was not so much that I was manipulating the Time Stone that day, it was the Time Stone that was manipulating me," Agamotto said.

"The Time Stone is conscious?" Forseti couldn't help asking.

"I don't know." Agamotto picked up the pendant and said, "I can only use it to see the future, that's all."

"What did you see?"

Agamotto shook his head, "I can't say. Revealing the secrets of time will inevitably lead to huge disasters. But... I found something special about you from the past."

"Me?" Forseti was startled.

Agamotto looked at him, "I went back to our battle with Apocalypse and found that when you were crushing the Orb of All-Seeing, you suddenly jumped out of the law of time and were dominated by another unknown law—I felt your state was very strange at that time. I didn't expect this kind of reversal of the law to happen."

Forseti thought for a moment and remembered that he had been imprisoned by Apocalypse and opened the Holy Shield before he was able to crush the Orb of All-Seeing.

Is it the effect of the Holy Shield technique that Agamotto said to jump out of the law of time?

Agamotto asked, "Apart from crushing the Orb of All-Seeing, what else did you do?"

Forseti didn't explain, but just prevaricated, "Of course one's life depends on self-struggle, but the historical process is also very important. Just like you sealed Cul, maybe I was also favored by destiny at that time."

Agamotto obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't continue to ask.

Suddenly another portal opened, and a young mage came out in a hurry, "Supreme Mage, someone attacked the Third Sanctuary!"

Agamotto frowned and immediately passed through the portal. Forseti followed and came to the third supreme sanctuary.

The Third Sanctuary is the New York of later generations, but at this time, New York is only a semi-civilized place, barely within the scope of the Mayan civilization.

A few people passed through the portal and bumped into two strangely-shaped and ugly humanoid creatures.

"Kill!"
