*Hidden (II)*

[Royal Palace, Asgard]

Only an hour ago everyone was preparing for the festival... but now everything and everyone looked solemn... their current King Odin, their All Father have called off the celebrations and Crown Prince also agreed with his father's decision.

It didn't take much time and the stories of the whole incident were spread throughout Asgard like a wildfire but no one bothered to stop it. The Asgardians who have gathered in front of the Palace slowly left because there was nothing they could do now.

"Father... I..." Thor began to speak in a broken tone but Odin stopped him by placing his hand on his son's shoulder.

"...I understand what you had to do today must have been really hard... I know that you blame yourself but it had to be done or a whole world would have been destroyed... you did what any good King should have done" Odin said with a sad look on his face.

"...But I wasn't a good brother... if I had been a good brother then he would have never done something like this..." Thor trailed off with tears pooling in his eyes.

"No son... it wasn't your fault... it was mine... I could have been a better father..." Odin said while shaking his head and looked into his son's eyes intently.

"We can't keep thinking about the what-ifs my son... we have to live through the consequences of our actions..." Odin said solemnly and looked towards his throne.

"...What about mother, father??" Thor asked after a small pause. Odin simply hung his head in defeat.

"...She won't forgive me this time... she almost didn't forgive me the last time..." Odin muttered under his breath and started to shake his head in defeat.

"Last time, father?" Thor asked with a confused look on his face. Odin simply shrugged it off.

"It's nothing you should worry about, son" Odin brushed it off and Thor also decided to drop the matter for now. After all, it has been a long day and something like this could wait.

"Son... I am really tired... I think it is time for my sleep" Odin said with a small smile on his face. Thor was slightly surprised at first but he simply nodded his head. His father was about to go into Odin Sleep... "Take care of your mother, son" Odin said and rushed towards his bed chambers.

"Of course, father. You can depend on me..." Thor declared proudly while he started to head towards his mother's chambers...

[POV ???]

Awww... how cute... the chat between father and son was so heart-warming... it almost touched my heart but unfortunately, I don't have a heart but I wonder where my son is... as a good mother I will visit him.

For now, I decided to patiently wait for Odin to arrive in his room... As soon as Odin entered the room a magic circle flared... Odin immediately dropped to his knees... it took me three days to prepare this magic circle... this magic circle can seal away Odin's power and stop him from moving.

"Who is there?? Show your face coward!!" Odin thundered in rage. Being called a coward by Odin feels like a compliment.

"Fufufu... thanks for the compliment... after all, you are the one who taught me how to strike from the shadows..." I said slowly as I appeared in front of him. It didn't take much time for Odin to recognize me... but as soon as he recognized me, his face lost all colour.

Odin was so pale, he could be easily mistaken for a ghost... I did expect him to react like this... after all, when he was in his prime, I could have still crushed him like a bug... "So... are you surprised?? I had to work really hard behind the scenes" I said with a huge grin on my face. Odin was now shaking in fear...

"Z...Ze...Zelia...!!" Odin stuttered out in fear and I simply backhanded him.

"That's Majeston Zelia for you insect!" I exclaimed in disdain. "But I am glad, I can still strike fear in people's hearts... I thought that I have lost my touch after being locked for almost a millennia..." I said with a gentle smile on my face and I started to pat Odin's head.

(A/N: For those who don't know Majeston Zelia was a small-time villain in marvel but she was insanely OP. She was the leader of Dark Gods. In the comics, she took over Asgard with the help of other Dark Gods and she also absorbed Odin's power.

Thor returned to Asgard along with the Destroyer and Replicus but Zelia was still winning when she called the Union. She basically merged all the Dark Gods together into a single being... there was no way she or the Union could have lost the fight but plot armour defeats logic so Thor was suddenly able to blow a hole in her when Thor's lightning had been useless just a few dialogues ago.

I decided not to include the other Dark Gods to keep my fanfic simple... but Zelia was still strong enough on her own to crush anyone like Odin and Thor but plot armour is absolute, so nothing could be done there. She wasn't the only OP villain who was defeated by the plot armour).

"I...Im...Impossible... how did you escape your prison?? There is no way I wouldn't have noticed" Odin stuttered out in complete disbelief.

"...Your seal was really brilliant... it took me nearly 5 centuries to nullify the alert seals you had added in my prison" I said with a smirk on my face.

"So, you manipulated Loki into freeing you?" Odin asked me in a broken tone... looks like he worked it out.

"Oh... yes... manipulating him was also easy... he was so driven by his ambition... he failed to notice my manipulations" I said with a shrug.

"So, you decided to kill him??!!" Odin shouted in rage and I simply burst out laughing.

"No... I am simply told him to attack Jotunheim... it was Thor who killed him" I said while giggling...

"So... what now?? Kill me too??" Odin asked in a defeated tone... ah... it seems that he is trying to lead me into another trap. He is pretty good...

"No... you need to stay alive... after all, it wasn't hard for me to notice that Hela's prison was connected to your life force... I don't want your insane warmonger daughter after my ass..." I deadpanned and Odin paled once again.

"...You will still fail... someone will definitely rise against you... and my son will definitely defeat you" Odin said while gritting his teeth... I didn't expect to hear such bold words from a coward like him.

"Oh... don't worry... I have also arranged something for that" I said with a grin and snapped my fingers and another magic circle appeared beside Odin and a faux body appeared on the ground beside him. This faux body was a lot different from the previous one I had used.

I snapped my fingers once again and another magic circle appeared beneath both Odin and the faux body. I connected the faux body directly to Odin and the faux body slowly started to transform into Odin. The one I had used before was for short time usage but this one was special... it would last as long as the original is alive and it will drain power from the original to keep its form.

He would act like a puppet king while I will he the giving orders from the shadows... "Nooo...!!" Odin started to scream so I decided to shut him up...

"Don't be like that Odin... I get really annoyed when someone screams... but let me tell you what I am going to do with you... I am going to lock you in the same prison you had locked me away in for centuries... but don't worry, I will also keep giving you some of my energy... after all, I can't have you dying on me, can I?" I said and snapped my fingers.

The three of us appeared in front of my prison. I noticed that my new servant was already carrying Gungnir... good... I like it. "So, Odin? Do you have any last words before being locked away for eternity??" I asked him in a sweet tone.

"Go to hell" Odin muttered while gritting his teeth and I signalled my servant to throw him inside the prison... Odin was easily flung inside the prison... Hah...!! Finally!! After so much time... I finally gained control over Asgard...

[POV Reo]

"Let's go back to our homeworld... it has been two decades since we have been there" I said all of sudden. I really missed my mom but I wasn't worried because only a few months would have passed in that world.

"Are you serious... I really want to meet Eri-chan once again... I want to see how my sister is growing up" Momo said in an excited tone.

"It's time that my mother gets to meet her favourite daughter-in-law once again... she must be missing me" Nemuri said with a melancholic look on her face... I didn't want to tell her the truth.

But I noticed that the other girls were suddenly nervous... this was the first time they were going to meet my mother. A sudden chill ran down my spine... I will be going back home with 6 new lovers this time... SHIT!! But I still needed to assure the girls.

"Don't worry girls... it will be completely fine... she will accept you all" I said with a reassuring smile on my face but on the inside, I was sweating buckets...
