[Hela Wakes Up]

Everyone was stunned.

Immediately, Scala looked down in astonishment and saw a green light suddenly flash from his sleeve. "This is..."

A group of green light shot out from his sleeve, revealing a dazzling emerald that emitted a wonderful brilliance, like a dream.

The Time Stone!

Forseti was taken aback, wondering how the Time Stone ended up with Scala. Could it be that Odin didn't want it?

Scala instinctively tried to grab the Time Stone, but its trajectory naturally and perfectly evaded his hand, heading straight for Agamotto.

Cul also reached out with his fingers.

As one of the top powerhouses in this universe, his power successfully affected the Time Stone, causing its trajectory to stagnate for a moment, but Agamotto rose synchronously, actively flying towards the Time Stone.

Cul tried to attract the Time Stone, but it remained unmoved, as if a pause button had been pressed, freezing it in place.

Just as Agamotto was about to grasp the Time Stone, Cul immediately raised his hand and released a dim light to kill Agamotto.

However, as the dim light was about to reach Agamotto, he grasped the Time Stone, and the green brilliance of the stone overwhelmed him.

Cul's blow could have killed Agamotto instantly, but as the Time Stone radiated, the dim light he emitted solidified and stopped moving.

Agamotto circumvented the stationary light like a statue, easily dodging it, and then charged toward Cul with the Time Stone in hand.

"How can you use the Time Stone?" Cul exclaimed in anger.

At the same time, his hands shone brightly, and thousands of dim lights flew out, like a salvo of arrows, mighty and overwhelming.

Agamotto didn't say a word. With a flick of his five fingers, a huge round shield composed of the Time Stone's brilliance instantly formed. Thousands of dim lights hit the Shield of Time and stopped moving forward, solidifying in place.

Cul used all his methods, and various attacks rushed out like a hurricane.

However, in front of the Time Stone, none of his attacks were effective; all were imprisoned by the power of time.

Agamotto reached Cul in a short while.

Cul looked terrified and couldn't help but say as he stepped back, "Impossible, Odin is not so proficient in mastering the Time Stone. You are just a mortal..."

Agamotto didn't respond much. His eyes were still hazy, as if he was sleepwalking, and his palm lightly pressed toward Cul...

Cul's entire body glowed dimly, and he opened a shield with both hands, trying to block, but it was futile.

"You lied to me, fate!" he finally growled angrily, giving up resistance.

"No." Agamotto suddenly said.

Cul frowned, about to say something when Agamotto's palm pressed against his chest, and the immense power of time poured out like a torrent.

Immediately, Cul maintained his frowning posture, solidifying motionless like a statue, or amber, wrapped by the power of time.

After completing Cul's imprisonment, Agamotto shuddered, looking around as if he had just woken up from a big dream, then looked down at his hand, recalling something.

An emerald lay quietly in his hand, but without the earth-shattering brilliance from before, it looked like an ordinary emerald.

"Time..." Agamotto muttered to himself.

Everyone reacted and rushed forward.

A soldier couldn't help but say, "How did you do it? Cul is a third-order divine power. It's unbelievable."

"This gem seems to belong to His Majesty Odin's glove."

"It's not just any gem; it's the Time Stone, one of the Infinity Stones," Scala said.

He looked at Agamotto. "As far as I know, only His Majesty Odin can manipulate the Time Stone slightly... I didn't expect you to use the Time Stone so skillfully, as if it were a part of you."

"No," Agamotto shook his head, holding the Time Stone and said slowly, "It's not that it became part of me, but I became part of it."

The sea above suddenly surged, and then Odin appeared in front of everyone on the eight-legged Pegasus Sleipnir.

"Your Majesty." Except for Agamotto, the human, everyone saluted.

Odin came hurriedly. Seeing that Cul was frozen in place, he couldn't help but say, "What's going on?"

Scala recounted the situation.

Odin looked at Agamotto in surprise. "You can use the Time Stone? Show me."

Agamotto hesitated, then tried to use the Time Stone again.

The Time Stone lit up with a green light, but it lacked the earth-shattering gesture from before, exuding a weak power of time.

"Is it only to this extent? Then how did you imprison Cul?" Odin asked again.

"I don't know. I wasn't conscious when I was fighting with Cul. It was like a dream." Agamotto shook his head. "After waking up, I can only mobilize the Time Stone to this extent."

Odin was silent and approached Cul.

Cul was firmly imprisoned by the power of time, maintaining a frowning expression.

Odin raised his hand to touch the power of time on Cul. The power of time surged in his hand, but it remained unmoved.

He suddenly looked surprised. "Could it be..."

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment.

Odin turned around and looked at Agamotto. "I sealed Cul on Midgard, which is considered a burden to the people of Midgard. In this case, I will give this Time Stone to you. I hope you can keep it well and not abuse it."

"Time is not the domain of mortals; I understand that," Agamotto said.

"It's not something gods should interfere with either," Odin said. "Agamotto, maybe you are the true guardian of the Time Stone."

He looked at Scala and the others. "Continue to seal Cul. I don't think there will be another accident this time."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Scala said.

Forseti spoke up. "Your Majesty, we accidentally destroyed Agamotto's sanctum when we came. I have promised to help rebuild it, and I hope to return to Asgard after the reconstruction is completed."

"Alright." Odin, aware it was due to the Rainbow Bridge, said, "As a new gatekeeper, Heimdall still needs to exercise. Be more careful when using the Rainbow Bridge in the future."

The crowd nodded.

After finishing his instructions, Odin flicked the reins of the eight-legged horse and disappeared.

After returning to Asgard, Odin patted the Eight-legged Pegasus and said with a smile, "It's alright, you go back first."

"Neigh—" The eight-legged Pegasus neighed and disappeared.

Odin walked alone, his hands behind his back, his brows slightly furrowed as if deep in thought.

After a while, an Einherjar suddenly ran over and shouted, "Your Majesty!"

Odin turned his head. "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, Princess Hela is awake!"
