I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

"Tony said that the offering he has prepared this year is at least three billion cosmic coins, with no upper limit."

"The exact amount depends on the situation of another well-known figure in the Void God Cult, Yama Lix."

Thor knew why his father was reacting this way, but he explained it more clearly.

"Don't they value money?"

"A minimum of 3 billion? That's insane."

Odin was speechless upon hearing Thor's words.

The more money Tony Stark offers, the more he, as the god-king of Asgard, can be compared to Tony Stark in status.

If it were hundreds of millions, Odin wouldn't even blink an eye when spending it.

However, if it's over 3 billion and there's no upper limit, that's no small sum.

If he wants to completely overshadow Tony Stark and that other guy, Enma Lex, then he needs to prepare at least eight billion, depending on the situation.

Eight billion! That's enough to buy twenty large spaceships.

“Tony Stark also said that the offerings for the New Year’s pilgrimage are entirely based on personal preference.”

So there's no need to worry about it so much.

Seeing his father's pained expression, Loki chimed in with a comment.

"These are obviously just polite words."

"This is our first New Year's pilgrimage since joining the Cult of the Void, so we must take it seriously no matter what."

"I am Odin, the king of the gods. I cannot lose to two juniors."

"Frigga, prepare eight billion, and bring me some treasures with you."

"We'll see how much to offer then."

"I refuse to believe that those two juniors can offer tributes exceeding eight billion."

Odin responded immediately upon hearing Loki's words.

Thor and Loki exchanged a silent glance upon hearing their father's words, which were similar to their own guesses.

"it is good."

Frigga, on the other hand, was already used to Odin's prideful nature.

Odin wouldn't normally care so much about his reputation, but after being the king of Asgard for so long, he naturally started to pay attention to it.

Furthermore, Frigga also believed that this was an important matter to take seriously, and that the Void God Kassadin and other members of the Void Cult should know that they had also made careful preparations for their journey.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now."

"You two, share your thoughts and experiences."

After making his decision and adjusting his mindset, Odin changed the subject.

So as not to let his two sons see him in such pain and lose face.

In fact, Thor and Loki had already discerned from their father's words that he was also deeply heartbroken about this.

Although they might try to save face by spending big, when it comes to spending billions of dollars, they'd rather be looked down upon than spend big.

That's eight billion cosmic coins! Thor and Loki have spent a lot of money since they were young, but they've never managed so much money before.

"There are many general directions for evolution..."

However, Thor and Loki took turns relaying some of the insights that Tony and Banner had mentioned.

"Bruce Banner followed the path of physical perfection, while Tony Stark clearly followed the path of the power of the void."

"Tony Stark said that the power of the Void symbolizes the unknown, but also infinite possibilities."

"Moreover, some of the top members of the Void God Cult possess trump cards created using the power of the void."

Loki added a final comment.

"Did Tony Stark and Bruce Banner explain the capabilities of those trump cards?"

Odin listened to what Thor and Loki had to say and seemed to be deep in thought.

"Only Tony revealed his trump card; the others did not reveal theirs without permission."

Thor shook his head upon hearing this and spoke.

Of course, Thor understood Tony and Banner's actions, because even with the closest family members, it's best to keep your trump cards hidden if possible.

Either don't use it, or when you do, it has a decisive effect.

If others find out beforehand, the effect will definitely be greatly reduced.

Chapter 354 Operation to Suppress Hydra Begins

After hearing this, Odin and Frigga gained a much deeper understanding of the Void.

For Asgardians, pursuing the ultimate physical form is also a viable option.

Because their superior physical strength allows them to more easily control the divine power within them.

However, Tony Stark is right; exploring the unknown brings the greatest benefits.

Even if exploring the unknown requires more effort, as long as you truly create some abilities, you will benefit immensely.

The group ate while discussing their chosen direction for evolution.

Loki also mentioned that he wanted to see if he could get a position as a magic instructor in the Cult of the Void.

This idea was immediately affirmed and supported by Frigga, and the two decided to carry out the direction of the Void Power.

Odin, on the other hand, planned to wait until he returned to his peak youthful state before evolving his physical body to experience whether the improvement was as he had imagined.

For a powerful being like Odin, whose strength is already among the top in the universe, magic or energy manipulation is his forte.

He knew his only weakness was his body, so figuring out how to address that was his biggest goal.

Kassadin, the God of the Void, seems to be the epitome of Void power, capable of instantly descending to any location in the universe.

However, Odin also understood that judging a person solely by their appearance was a very one-sided view.

Kassadin's Void Blade appears to be strong even in close combat; in fact, close-quarters combat might be Kassadin's true trump card and reliance.

I wonder how many times Kassadin has evolved to possess such a terrifyingly large body.

Thor, on the other hand, planned to wait until he had spoken with Kyle before making a decision.

Because Banner said that Kyle, although he seems to be a physical powerhouse who can break through everything with a single punch.

However, Kyle's strength is not only due to his physical power, but also his formidable combat skills and ability to control his power.

After finishing their meal, Odin and Frigga went off to attend to Asgardian business.

Just because they're away for a few days doesn't mean they can run around carefree.

With such immense power, the daily affairs of Asgard are no easy task.

However, Odin's body is much younger now, and he feels more energetic, so doing things is not as troublesome as before.

Most importantly, they also need to integrate the various data from Asgard and prepare to discuss cooperation with Sonia.

Thor decided to follow Tony and Banner's practice of eating five meals a day to accelerate his evolution, and spend the rest of his time training his strength.

Loki's starting point was pretty good, but only "pretty good," so he decided to eat seven meals a day and wait for the number of evolutions to increase before properly training his strength.

Furthermore, Loki has always been very confident in his ability to train and control his strength.

This confidence stemmed from his more than a thousand years of practicing magic. To use many spells well, one must have the most subtle control over one's own power, which is not something that a single-minded person can learn.

※※※※※※※

And so Loki, Thor, Odin, and Frigga all became immersed in evolution.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The date was December 3, 2014.

Odin felt that his evolution speed had slowed down considerably, but in just four months after joining the Void, he had still evolved fifty-seven times.

Although his white hair has not yet fully returned to the golden color of his youth, Odin's wrinkles have largely disappeared, giving him the majestic and domineering air of middle age.

Frigga was already much younger than Odin, and after evolving forty times, her face became extremely youthful.

Moreover, because she had more intimate moments with Odin, Frigga's complexion improved.

Now Frigga fully supports Odin's choice; joining the Void was indeed the right decision.

However, they do not plan to have another child for the time being.

One reason is to prevent the newborn children from vying for power with Thor and Loki.

Secondly, they joined the Cult of the Void, but Asgard has not yet fully integrated into the Cult of the Void.

If their child is born but cannot simultaneously receive the blessings of Asgard and the Void, they may one day outlive their child.

Thor, on the other hand, has been thinking every day about how to achieve precise control over the evolved Void power.

While I don't expect to reach Tony's level of meticulousness immediately, I at least need to learn how to release and retract.

The effects of practicing controlling the power of the void were not obvious, possibly because the void power was still too small, but it did allow Thor to further improve his control over his divine power.

Now, without the aid of Thor's hammer, he can transform divine power into lightning even faster, requiring only three seconds.

At this rate, he will be able to transform into lightning in a second at most within two years.

Thor has indeed realized that he has gone down the wrong path in the past, and that he was probably more like the God of Hammers than the God of Thunder.

Not only is his power greatly reduced without Thor's hammer, but even controlling lightning becomes difficult.

The immense divine power within him had never been fully utilized, so while he possessed strength in the past, the gap between him and his father was vast.

Although the differences are still significant, Thor has seen the momentum of his father catching up with the past.

The reason I say "past" rather than "present" is because Thor knows that his strength is increasing, as is his father's.

Loki, on the other hand, devoted himself to physical training every day, and would occasionally say that he had never experienced such a wonderful feeling.

As his physical body grew stronger, the strength of his clones also increased dramatically.
