I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

"You can treat me next time."

Tony, upon hearing this, stood his ground and directly challenged Odin for the right to host the dinner.

"Row."

After hearing Tony's words, Odin thought about it and felt that they made sense, so he conceded this time.

"Miss Sarah, we'll be going now, and we'll come to see you again next time."

Frigga waved to Sarah.

Sarah saw the problem they were facing and not only offered to let them stay there temporarily.

Furthermore, Sarah could talk to her about anything, as Sarah was very knowledgeable and erudite, making their conversations very enjoyable and interesting.

"Yes, Mrs. Frigga, you're welcome to come again next time."

Sarah waved slightly upon hearing this, a charming smile appearing on her face.

Tony led Odin and the others out of the Temple of Records and headed towards the dining hall.

"Tony Stark, what offerings do you plan to send for this year's New Year's pilgrimage?"

Odin then casually asked a question, pretending to be nonchalant.

"It's not clear yet. We'll have to see what Alex plans when he comes over tomorrow."

Tony smiled and replied to this seemingly casual but actually probing remark.

Chapter 369 A Wise Choice

"So, according to your estimation, what are Alex's plans?"

"This is my first time participating in this New Year pilgrimage, and I need to gain some experience to evaluate whether the gifts I brought are appropriate."

Odin, seeing that Tony Stark hadn't revealed anything, spoke up.

"I don't know either, after all, he's a notorious fanatic."

"But Kyle and Alex have gone to Monster Planet, so we'll wait until they come back."

"Just ask them."

"My gift is at most the same value as the gift that Alex brought."

Seeing that Odin had already gone this far, Tony stopped holding back and said these words were tantamount to telling Odin that he wouldn't steal his thunder.

"Row."

Odin understood perfectly, and his gaze towards the young Tony Stark held a hint of admiration; knowing how to respect the elderly and care for the young was a commendable quality.

When Tony led Odin and the others to the dining hall, they attracted a lot of attention. They found a large table and sat down.

Tony showed no stage fright or embarrassment whatsoever, smiling and greeting the other members of the Void Cult around him. He also introduced his wife Pepper, as well as Steve and Peggy.

The other members of the Void Cult were all somewhat surprised to see that Tony's wife was also a member of the Void Cult.

Inside the villa atop the mountain.

Sonia also received the information recorded by Sarah.

"So all of our fellow human beings from Earth have come this time?"

Sonia was also somewhat surprised when she saw the message.

She remembered Mr. Tony saying that his fellow countrymen on Earth had only recently joined the Void God Cult and would have to stay on Earth for the time being to grow slowly.

"It was mainly to guide Odin."

"The others are just here to participate in the pilgrimage and take a look; they won't stay long."

Harvey casually replied after hearing Sonia's words.

He already knew Tony and the others' whereabouts when Tony returned to the island.

Upon hearing this, Sonia glanced at the three people from Earth besides Mr. Tony and Mr. Banner, and decided that they would stay for a month.

"If it's to guide Mr. Odin."

"I'll go take a look later. It might help the members of the Void Cult to better accept Mr. Odin."

"While I'm at it, I'll go and visit some of my compatriots on Earth whom I've never met, and try to remember what they look like and what they smell like."

Sonia wasn't surprised to hear that Mr. Kassadin knew these things, and she spoke up.

"No rush, let Tony try it first."

“If he can’t get Odin to integrate into the Void Cult, then it’s not too late for you to step in.”

“Odin may accept help from Tony Stark of the Nine Realms, but that doesn’t mean he’s willing to accept help from you or me.”

Harvey shook his head slightly upon hearing this and spoke.

Sonia's identity is quite special on Void Island; it was one thing for her to lead Sarah and Lalatina before.

After all, those two were Sonia's juniors, and they also came from the prestigious hotel.

Once the members of the Void Cult understand this relationship, they will not feel any pressure when facing the beautiful but weak Sarah and Lalatina.

Therefore, they were able to accept the two of them quickly, and out of respect for Sonia, they treated them even more kindly.

Odin, on the other hand, was so powerful that he instilled a sense of pressure in people, making them afraid to approach him.

Even though he was finding it somewhat uncomfortable on the Void Isle, Odin had no intention of asking him for help.

This shows that Odin is an extremely proud person, and seeking help from Tony Stark, who also comes from the Nine Realms, is his best option.

Only when there is absolutely no other way will they choose to seek his help.

"He doesn't want to... No wonder Mr. Odin only stayed for less than a day last time before going back."

Although Sonia, acting from a managerial perspective, hoped that someone as important as Odin could quickly integrate into the Church of the Void God, she immediately understood upon hearing Mr. Kassadin's words.

Mr. Odin's status within the Cult of the Void is quite unique; he is one of the few individuals who can directly meet Mr. Kassadin.

If Mr. Odin truly only wanted to integrate into the Void Cult, he could simply seek an audience with Mr. Kassadin to discuss countermeasures.

If no one came to request an audience, then it was undoubtedly a matter of saving face, as Mr. Kassadin had mentioned.

"Given Tony's abilities and interpersonal skills, it shouldn't be difficult for him to integrate them into the Void God Cult."

"Moreover, letting Odin figure out his own way can help to wear down his arrogance and verify whether he is truly willing to integrate into the Void God Cult."

"Otherwise, even if you step in to help, if Odin doesn't truly accept and want to integrate into Xu Kong's religion, more problems will arise in the future."

"So just watch patiently."

Harvey calmly said this after seeing that Sonia understood.

"Ok."

Sonia understood what Mr. Kassadin meant and didn't rush to help.

After getting Mr. Kassadin a drink, I left the balcony and watched the situation in the cafeteria through the monitor.

※※※※※※※

Tony was chatting normally with Odin in the dining hall, showing respect to Odin but without any fear.

He was setting an example for other members of the Void Cult, subtly lowering their guard against Odin.

If Tony hadn't met and interacted with Odin before, and if he hadn't been friends with Thor and Loki, and hadn't known some aspects of Odin's personality...

Instead, like other members of the Void Cult, he suddenly learned that a powerful figure in the universe had joined the Void Cult.

Tony will also be wary, and will at least choose to observe for a period of time before deciding whether to make contact.

Although the Void God Cult forbids fighting among themselves, they are facing a powerful figure who could kill them at any moment.

Even if this great figure killed him and violated the rules, and was later punished by Lord Kassadin, the god of the void, in the end, he was already dead.

Joining the Void God Cult grants one a long lifespan and unlimited time to grow.

It can be said that there are plenty of wonderful years ahead, so no one is willing to take such unnecessary risks.

Therefore, Tony was very able to understand the other Void Cults' wariness of Odin's family.

To be honest, if Odin weren't the ruler of the Nine Realms, Tony wouldn't have bothered to act as the peacemaker.

But Odin is the ruler of the Nine Realms, and he is also a subject of the Nine Realms, so it is most appropriate for him to do this.

So even if lowering their guard is a bit of a hassle, Tony will find a way.

The group enjoyed a hearty meal until the afternoon.

Odin's family, along with Steve and others, followed Tony back to the experimental area.

"It's really not easy to get rid of their wariness."

Odin sat on a comfortable sofa in the lobby on the second floor of the experimental building and said with some emotion.

"Lord Odin, you shouldn't take these things too seriously."

"They also act out of the natural psychology of the weak respecting the strong and avoiding dangerous things."

Tony brought up three barrels of fine wine from the cellar, opened them, poured Odin a glass, and said with a smile.

“I know they didn’t mean any offense, that’s why I’m bothered.”

"Besides, what can I care about? This is Void Island."

"The real controller is Kassadin, not me."

Odin picked up the wooden goblet filled with wine, drank it down, slammed it down on the table, and spoke.

Trying to integrate into a new group is something Odin hasn't done in ages.

He knew this would be troublesome, but he had no choice but to do it.

Because Asgard made a pact with Kassadin, Asgard is forbidden from causing trouble on the Void Isles in the future.

Only when they are being bullied so badly by other factions on Void Island that they feel extremely uncomfortable will they take the initiative to act.

Although Odin knew that Kassadin had agreed to his option of leaving himself an escape route, it was best not to cause too much trouble.
