35 lon.

"YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED HERE!!!" Odin shouted in the hall to his subordinates who were with their heads bowed ashamed to look their King in the eye, "My lord, this is all the fault of my negligence!"

(Does anyone remember the name of the guy from the bridge with the galaxy eyes?)

His general said as he bowed his head further in shame, "I promise to find those guilty of this and bring them to trial!" Odin glanced at his general before taking a deep breath to calm himself and sit on the throne, "Do you have any idea who it was?"

With Odin's question the general ordered his soldiers to bring a holographic machine, they will soon turn it on and a virtual replica of the treasure room, soon the soldiers have been placed in place and all that remains is to start the simulation.

"My king, according to the information we got the thief is a professional.." With the general's words the simulation started and the torches in the hologram went out, soon after William attacked the soldiers.

"His fighting style is similar to various types of tribes and species but it stands out more as a human fighting style however it has its differences.." The hologram paused and showed the moment when William froze the soldier's blood in a dagger before sticking it in another.

"A cryomancer?" Odin asked curiously and waved his hand to continue the video, soon the slaughter in the scenes resumed and some soldiers on guard could not grit their teeth in anger watching their friends being slaughtered easily.

Yet a fear still lingered in their hearts, "If it were me in the place of any of them could I have survived?" That thought passed through the soldiers and they started to sound cold especially when they saw William breaking a soldier's neck with his bare hands.

Odin was the most immersed in the projection, he can't identify this fierce combat style that practically puts all defense on ice and uses martial arts to eliminate opponents, his curiosity was even higher when he felt this assassin was holding back and just expending the minimum energy necessary to eliminate your soldiers.

This is a custom acquired by fighters who fight outnumbered battles many times, "And by the looks of it this assassin has also adapted it to his powers so that he can maintain a high lethality with low potency." Odin muttered and analyzed, as well that he saw if it was just hand-to-hand combat even his son Thor would take a beating.

Using weapons this situation already changes a little but the way he saw this assassin doesn't fight battles unprepared, only if Thor has his divinity he could defeat him, Odin pondered a little.

He knew Thor would try to hunt down that assassin the moment he returned from his peace mission and he would have to find some way to stop him, however Odin's attention was turned to the fight with the Destroyer.

" Eh? Did he die?" The soldiers exclaimed when they saw William get hit by lightning but soon their attention was brought back as several thieves came out of the walls, "What is he?" The general asked seeing the thief multiply so they would probably never catch him nor in 1,000 years.

"It hasn't multiplied, although you can't notice they are all ice clones wearing magic disguise." Odin said lightly and his mouth opened in a small smile, almost no one could notice it but with Odin's years of experience he found it. some flaws in the clones.

Soon the battle continued and was over, "So that's how it happened..." Odin sat back on his throne and stood with a solemn face, "My king, what shall we do now?" his general asked cautiously but Odin wasn't paying attention in him.

"No need to do anything, I already know who it is!" When Odin said this everyone in the place had their faces changed in disbelief, their King is really magnificent for discovering something like this just by looking at the pictures, "Who he is my King, I swear bring him to justice."

"Even if you swear you can't even defeat him or capture him!" The general was surprised by his King's words and before he could continue Odin spoke, "He is Sub-zero!" With Odin's words the expressions from all the upper echelons have changed.

"Sub-zero, the one who faced the entire army of the ice giants and escaped with his life and not only that but killed the prince and the king with his bare hands." The general muttered in disbelief, an existence that can face an army and killing the King of the Ice Giants is not something he can face.

And this is not due to the difference in strength but in style, while the general is a soldier and commander who fights in order to help his allies and big battles, William's style is totally the opposite.

He is purely an assassin whose presence alone in battle would make the enemy troops nervous and force all their attention against him allowing him to guide the soldiers' subconscious into the position he desires.

Unless the enemy army has a very strong morale and all soldiers have a similar shape William will find loopholes in the weaker soldiers and use them as a trigger to kill the stronger and break sieges.

"So how do we do this my lord?" The general asked with a gulp, "We won't do anything, as I see it trying to hunt him in the light is totally ineffective and hunting him in the dark is simply adding more blood to his hands , however we won't be doing nothing."

"Then what shall we do my lord?"

"Put a bounty on your head, as high as possible and release it on the space black market, we'll make those mercenaries from outside come hunting you." Hearing his orders, the soldiers left quickly leaving only a smiling Odin in the room.

"We'll see what you do now, SUB-ZERO!"

In the ice world.

"So, how does this thing work?" William wondered as he looked at the box in her hand, he had taken it so he could absorb the power inside it but if he just opened it and just leaked the blizzard.

William pondered, he didn't want to do this on Earth because of the commotion but it looks like he's going to need some expert to help him, "Well never mind, I can run some tests before then."

Having come up with an idea in his head, William built an ice cube and reinforced it before sitting in the middle, it was kind of weird not to be hearing all the noise of wind and snow outside.

"Well, let's get started." He placed the box in front of him and opened it, with a great noise of ice forming for the first time in his life. William felt really cold, the clothes he especially designed to contain his powers froze and fell. crumbled to powder the next moment.

"This is amazing!" William struggled to keep his eyes open as the blizzard ahead of him, ice and snow soon began to freeze inside the cube and oxygen levels dropped to nothing the next moment, but William felt nothing wrong, to tell the truth when he took a breath it was even comfortable.

The blizzard kept coming out non-stop making the entire cube turn white inside and the already low temperatures started to drop to even lower levels, "That is." William could feel his body reacting to the extreme cold and becoming active.

the temperature started to go down, − 190 degrees á − 250 he was still fine, but from then on he started to feel the discomfort, − 270 William's skin began to be covered with a layer of ice.

−280 he felt a little dizzy and numbness in his muscles when the cold seeped into him, when the temperature reached −290 William opened his eyes with his veins swelling, his pupils went completely white the same was true for his black hair which was turning white.

However none of that when the temperature reached −300 degrees and William's body started absorbing the temperature, "AHHHHH!" He yelled as he felt every inch of his body shift.

His cells that were created to absorb and retain cold began to change, William's body under the cold stimulus went through a round of dramatic changes, if before he still generated any heat within himself it's over now, every one of his organs changed accordingly.

The basics of having life from somewhere is having an energy source like heat to absorb and keep the being able to keep moving and evolve, that's why the cold universe beyond conscious energy forms almost nothing could live without heat .

But that just changed for William." "That's good.." He muttered as he let out a sigh of relief, the wind around him was already totally frozen and only the temperature was decreasing but the speed was already decreasing.

He now literally used the cold itself as a source of heat, it's like they say if you go down low enough you get to heaven the only difference is that it takes longer.
