Frigga POV:

As we exited the third black portal of the day, I could see a cloud of darkness where absolute silence reigned and my husband was being tortured for being a half-wit, among other things. Turning to my benefactor I asked him. "Would it be okay to release him now, although I too am very frustrated with him, he at least has not done those things yet, and we could guide him to the right path. Especially since I cannot do this monumental task of guiding Asgard on my own, we will need his help, actually all of the royal family's help."

After I finished speaking Spectre looked towards Odin and sighed sadly, he seemed really reluctant to stop Odin's torture, but still relented. He transformed back into his, I presume, original form, and then released him.

Odin POV:

Darkness was all I could see. All I could feel was pain, pain I have never experienced before, and whenever I feel I am about to move on and be released from this pain all my injuries disappear and the pain becomes worse once again.

It was during this vicious cycle of torment that suddenly, the darkness receded, the pain followed the darkness, and the first face I saw was my beautiful wife's face, like the first rain after a long drought.

Unable to move a muscle I could only watch my wife and her beautiful smile. Until I noticed the origin of my torment, the evil dragon seeking my daughter for its nefarious reasons right behind her! Using all the strength I had I screamed at my wife to run, to take our daughter and run away, while I held off this evil beast. But what happened next was something I could never have expected, they started to laugh in my face! The beast must have corrupted my wife while I was being tormented, looking around I could not find my daughter anywhere and started to fear the worst. So, then I asked about our daughter and their answer chilled my very soul! They said my daughter was in the arms of Death herself! "THIS BEAST KILLED MY DAUGHTER!?"

Spectre POV:

As I watched Frigga slap the screaming lunatic and calmly explain everything in ways even he could understand, I healed him and allowed him to stand.

When he decided to open his mouth to speak. "So Abstract Spectre-" "Lord Spectre" Interrupted Frigga. Odin continued "Right Lord..., Spectre, so you saved my daughter to make her a more powerful version of a mix of the strongest Valkyrie and the strongest Einherjar, and Asgard and myself will somehow be manipulated to make Ragnarok happen, and to stop that you gave Lady Death who is your sibling, my daughter to be trained and taught by the best Einherjar, Sages, and Magicians or their equivalents to ever live, and until her training is done I am to consult my wife on all things, as she has seen all the futures possible and knows of your plans to make Asgard the greatest realm alongside Midgard, and a few other civilizations, because apparently you own this universe where we live, and want good entertainment which means we need to prosper enough and develop to provide that entertainment, did I miss anything?"

"Quite a lot, you especially got the entertainment part mostly wrong in the way you worded it, but sure that's enough for you."

"Let that suffering be a lesson, consult your wife in all your actions, especially when dealing with Abstract Cosmic Entities, the Asgardian Royal family members, and kingdom in general. Go sacrifice your eye for wisdom and those crows already, I can barely stand this moronic version of you, you are even worse than HIM, but that is someone you will meet later." 'Or rather make later.'

"You will raise Hela the right way, like a REAL daughter should be raised, and once her time with you all is done, I shall see if Lady Death is willing to have her stay in her realm for a few thousand years, which should not be a problem considering Hela is her Champion.

After that-" Noticing how Odin was completely ignoring me and probably planning on messing with my plans I decided I had enough. "Alright I cannot deal with young, dumb Odin. Frigga, you are in charge of him and Asgard. Do not worry, with my blessing granting you a connection to this realm, all its energy and magic, you being mostly a magician yourself are officially the second strongest in the Norse Pantheon. The first being your daughter Aldrif, so any problem he could try to create to mess with our plans for a better Asgard just magic them away, or send them to the Mirror Dimension, it is impossible to escape without my blessing, permission or more power than me, and to my knowledge there is only one being stronger than myself in the multiverse, so yeah, no problems on that part."

"Make sure to eliminate the Norns, they are literally parasites that do nothing, but poison and lie to Asgardians, again with your magic, and the amount of time that has passed since the creation of Asgard, you should easily be able to deal with those edgy shut-ins by yourself, if a problem occurs when dealing with the Norns, that are the feeders of those freaks, just jump to the Mirror Dimension, it is the name of this realm, and I will appear near you.

One last thing the Norns are not needed for Odin to sacrifice his eye and become less of a half-wit. He just needs to go back to Yggdrasil; just like he did to sever Heven from the tree, but instead of going up he needs to go down and find Mimir's well. Then he can take care of the rest himself."

"Do not forget you are free to enter and leave both here and the realm of the dead, so you as the mother of an Abstract's Champion, and future mother of another Abstract's Champion, both of which are almost at the top of the Cosmic Hierarchy, are backed by two nigh-omnipotent Abstract Entities. Never forget that, of course do not try to abuse this, but know that with our blessings very little in this universe poses an actual danger to you and your realm currently."

"Now I will take my leave, some unwelcome ants dared enter MY territory, and will soon learn the consequences of their actions."

Frigga responded right before I disappeared. "Thank you for everything Lord Spectre I will keep your words in mind."

And just like that I left...
