I'M IN MARVEL

c44 Odin's Invitation

This BB machine was created by Russell, who based its design on the spider totem gifted to Gwen, utilizing quantum technology.

As long as the button is pressed, Russell can sense it, pinpoint the coordinates, and open a portal for support.

However, unlike the spider totem, which is split into two parts and passive—triggered only when danger is detected—this device is actively triggered.

In other words, if the holder of the BB machine were to be killed instantly without having time to press the button, Russell would have no way of knowing, let alone offering rescue.

"How is this possible? You can really reach Russell just by pressing the button?" Erin asked curiously. The young girl, ever inquisitive, voiced her doubts to Matt.

Russell's support speed is linked to his safety, so one must be cautious.

Russell smiled slightly but didn't directly answer Erin's question. Instead, he said:

"Aileen, it's late. Shouldn't you be heading home?"

As he spoke, sparks flickered in front of him, and a portal to Aileen's bedroom began to materialize.

"Wow~" Erin exclaimed in awe. "Russell, can you teach me how to do that?"

"You want to learn?" Russell asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I do!" Erin nodded enthusiastically, like a chicken pecking at rice.

"If you don't want to learn, go back to sleep," Russell teased, watching Erin's expression fall before bursting into laughter.

Those who have studied at Kamar-Taj, those who are part of the mystical order, must constantly battle the incursions of the magical dimension into reality—a dangerous endeavor.

Erin, however, had a happy family and had no need to join Kamar-Taj. The mages of Kamar-Taj are typically either orphans or solitary figures. Russell and Mordo fit the first category, while Tony Stark and a future Stephen Strange fall into the latter.

"Aileen, you should go home. Today's training is over," Russell advised, with Matt nodding in agreement.

Although Matt couldn't see it, he could sense that Russell had just opened a portal to another realm. With this ability, Russell could indeed provide support at any moment.

"Russell, you said you became a god. What does that mean?" Matt asked, intrigued.

At Matt's words, Erin paused, seemingly just as curious to hear more about Russell's extraordinary claim.

"Literally," Russell replied with calm certainty.

According to his attribute panel, the designation was "God Clan," meaning he had ascended to godhood.

"Tch~~" Erin rolled her eyes, unimpressed with such a brief explanation.

Russell glanced at Erin and snapped his fingers. The portal swiftly enveloped her, teleporting her back to her room.

Matt fell silent, contemplating the deeper meaning behind Russell's words. Literally, Russell could do anything gods in legends could do.

Matt had sought help from Russell, and in doing so, had essentially called upon a god.

"Russell, take me back too. You know the address," Matt said, eager to experience the sensation of traveling through the portal himself.

Snap!

With another snap of his fingers, a portal appeared before Matt. He stepped through, and although he couldn't see, he could sense that the atmosphere on the other side was entirely different. For Matt, navigating through the dimensions was no problem.

Before the portal closed, Matt looked back and saw Russell smiling at him. He smiled in return.

Matt and Russell's ideological conflict stemmed from their differing views on dealing with Kingpin. Matt believed the law should guide their actions; Russell felt it was more efficient to simply eliminate the threat.

Based on this situation alone, Matt wondered if Russell might have been right, but he also knew that ignoring the rules would eventually turn someone like Russell into the very villain they sought to destroy.

Gwen, who had been quiet until now, asked curiously, "Russell, is there some history between you and Matt?"

"The story of me and Matt? It's a long one," Russell replied, gently guiding Gwen to an empty space.

With a wave, he conjured a serene setting, the two sitting on clouds, watching the sunset. Russell began telling the tale of his history with Daredevil, Matt Murdock.

Halfway through, another presence entered the scene, listening intently.

Could it be the Ancient One?

Was she interested in hearing stories? It wouldn't be surprising; after all, she had watched several films when Russell had visited her.

Asgard

Asgard, the floating continent in the depths of space.

King Odin, nearing the end of his reign.

"The Midgard barrier has been breached, and the Supreme Sorcerer has returned. Send the invitation. Invite her to Thor's coronation ceremony," Odin ordered the guards.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Also, call Thor here. I need him and Loki both present," Odin added after a moment of thought.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As Odin's twilight approached, his divine body could no longer withstand the increasing power within him. The time had come to consider his legacy.

Hela, his eldest daughter, was an exceptional warrior—wise and brave—but with an overpowering desire to conquer. While Asgard could endure, it would perish if war were to be its focus. This truth became clear to Odin after his campaign to conquer the Nine Realms.

Hela had been exiled after she quashed the Valkyries, who had rebelled. Odin himself had sealed her away, and thousands of years of imprisonment had drained her admiration for him.

Thor, the eldest son, was a powerful and respected fighter, admired by the Asgardians. However, he was impulsive and easily deceived. His battles had been brutal, but none compared to the rebellious wars Hela had fought. Thor might not even be able to match her strength until Odin's powers fully transferred to him after his ascension.

As for Loki, the adopted son, he was the son of Laufey, the King of the Frost Giants, and was a complicated figure in Odin's eyes.

Sighing, Odin realized that Asgard's future was uncertain. He hoped that allies across the Nine Realms would assist them if the time came.

Kamar-Taj, Nepal

The Ancient One received an invitation from Asgard's emissary, informing her of Thor's coronation.

"The coronation of Thor Odinson? So, the mantle of the Asgardian God King will be passed on?" she muttered, contemplating the implications for the Nine Realms.

Earth, or Midgard, was also one of these realms, and this shift in leadership would affect them as well.

"Take Russell with you. He will succeed the title of Supreme Sorcerer in the future. He'll need to interact with the Asgardian God King," the Ancient One thought aloud as she reached out to Russell with her spirit.

At that moment, Russell, in the midst of sharing his story with Gwen, felt her presence but chose not to react.

Had the young ones finished tidying up Kamar-Taj?

Seeing his teacher arrive, Russell didn't immediately greet her, instead continuing with his tale.
