In the magnificent hall of the Immortal Palace, Odin, holding the Eternal Spear, sat majestically upon his throne, with Queen Frigga standing by his side.

Before them knelt Loki, bound and helpless, flanked by two squads of the Divine Realm's royal guards.

Thor led George and the others into the hall and addressed Odin.

"Father, George and the others have arrived."

Odin nodded, but instead of speaking to George and the others immediately, he sighed and looked down at Loki, asking,

"Loki, do you have anything else to say?"

"Father, I could have completely destroyed Jotunheim. I did all this for you, for the entire Divine Realm. Why do you always see Thor and never me?"

Loki's face was filled with sorrow and disappointment.

"Loki, I hope you'll reflect deeply in your dungeon cell, recognize your mistakes, and understand the words I just spoke to you."

Odin shook his head and turned to the royal guards.

"Take him to the dungeon. The sentence is ten years!"

"Ten years? Looks like we don't have to worry about Loki causing any trouble for a while."

George, hearing the sentence, nodded to himself.

Odin still had some feelings for Loki. If not, such a serious crime, akin to a rebellion, would have led to an immediate execution.

For the Asgardians, with their lifespans of five thousand years, ten years was hardly a long time.

"Loki, you'd better think about what you've done. If you act like this when you get out, I'll kick your butt."

Thor, hearing the verdict, raised his hand and gave Loki a light slap on the back of his head. Loki, hiding his sorrowful expression, retorted with mockery,

"Dear brother, have you picked up your hammer yet?"

"Don't worry, I'll be able to lift it by the time you get out."

As the royal guards took Loki away, Thor took the chance to kick him lightly on the backside.

At this moment, Odin turned to Thor:

"Thor, are you still unable to lift Mjolnir?"

"Father, I've understood your words and will no longer recklessly start wars with Jotunheim. I believe you can lift the enchantment on Mjolnir now and end my exile."

Thor glanced at Mjolnir, which Steve was holding, and made his suggestion to Odin.

Odin shook his head again:

"You haven't lifted Mjolnir yet, which means you still don't fully understand what I said. Therefore, you cannot remain in the Divine Realm.

Only when you are able to lift Mjolnir will you be ready to return."

"Hahaha, Thor, maybe by the time I get out of the dungeon, you still won't have returned!"

Loki, now being escorted to the hall's entrance, clearly overheard Odin's words.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely return before you."

Thor wasn't particularly angry, as he felt being with Jane in Midgard wasn't such a bad thing.

He wasn't in a rush to return to the Divine Realm.

"Alright, that's enough about you."

Odin turned his attention away from Thor and looked at George and the others.

"Now, let us thank these friends from Midgard. Thanks to your help, Loki's plan has failed.

Therefore, I am willing to grant each of you one wish, as reasonably as I can."

"Really? Can I ask for a chest full of gold?"

Daisy immediately asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Daisy's mentor, Jane, quickly grabbed her arm:

"We haven't done much to help; how can you ask for something so extravagant?"

In Jane's eyes, just visiting the Divine Realm was already a great honor. They hadn't been of much assistance, so asking for a chest full of gold felt excessive.

"I was just joking," Daisy said, sticking out her tongue.

Odin smiled gently.

"Don't worry, gold in Asgard is as abundant as stones. When you leave, I will have a chest prepared for you."

Daisy's eyes widened in surprise, her face lighting up. She hadn't expected Odin to really grant her request.

"And what about you?"

Odin then turned his gaze to Jane. Jane thought for a moment before replying,

"If possible, I would like some knowledge on astrophysics."

"I'd like the same."

Professor Eric, standing nearby, raised his hand.

They weren't people driven by a love of wealth; as scientists, they simply couldn't resist the temptation of gaining knowledge in their field of expertise.

"If that's not possible, then never mind."

Odin nodded, acknowledging their request.

"This is a small matter. When you leave, I'll have some relevant knowledge prepared for you."

Odin then looked to Bruce Banner. Banner hesitated before replying,

"I want to eliminate the Hulk from my body and return to being just an ordinary man."

"My wish is the same—please help Banner become normal again."

Betty stepped forward, grabbing Banner's arm.

Banner had always had to control his emotions, and even their intimacy at night was restrained, fearing that the Hulk might emerge in the middle of a moment, causing chaos.

Odin fixed his gaze on Banner for a while, then responded,

"I cannot completely rid you of the Hulk, because he is a part of you—an embodiment of another side of your soul. To eliminate him would harm your soul.

However, I can help you integrate with him, so that you can freely control when to transform."

"If that's the case, I'm willing to try."

Banner thought for a moment, then nodded, seeing Betty's approving gesture.

If he could control the transformation and have command over his body in Hulk form, he wouldn't harm anyone, and that was enough for him.

Odin gestured, and Banner immediately found himself flying towards Odin, under Odin's control.

Then, Odin placed his hand on Banner's forehead, chanting an ancient incantation as golden light radiated from his body.

In less than a minute, Odin released his hand and sent Banner back to his original position.

"Done!"

Banner slowly opened his eyes and murmured,

"I feel... different. It's a strange, indescribable sensation."

The consciousness of the Hulk and his own mind had merged, and he felt better than ever—like something that had been missing was now complete.

A sudden thought crossed his mind, and his body quickly swelled up, transforming into the Hulk's form. Yet his expression remained unchanged, devoid of the usual anger.

"So, this is what it feels like to transform? This is amazing!"

Banner leapt casually, soaring about seven or eight meters high. He couldn't help but feel excited.

But soon, he realized it wasn't the time for experiments, and quickly reverted to his human form, his clothes stretched and torn. He and Betty bowed in thanks to Odin.

"Thank you, Lord Odin!"

"Restored to normal."

George waved his hand towards Banner and used a restoration spell to mend his clothes. Internally, he couldn't help but marvel,

"Odin's power is truly monstrous!"

When you consider that Odin unified the Nine Realms by defeating countless powerful enemies, and that even Hela—who hadn't absorbed power in Asgard—was able to crush Mjolnir with her bare hands, but Odin had sealed her,

you realize just how terrifying Odin's true strength must be.
