[The Celestial Black Forest Hunter slowly opens her eyes!]
Little by little, Skathi regained consciousness.
Can you see me, Skathi?
The moment she heard the voice, Skathi realized that she had escaped from deaths grip once again.
Im too ashamed to face you, my Celestial King, Skathi said, bowing on her one knee.
Before her stood [Hlidskjalf], Odins Argentum Throne; his nine other subjects were also present.
Vili and Ve were Odins brothers, who had helped him kill Ymir the Giant and create . Frigg, Odins wife and queen, weaved the threads of human fate. As Odins son, Baldur dreamed of light and glory, while Hordur, Baldurs twin, was a blind man who wandered in darkness. Heindall was the gatekeeper of who also looked over the .
Under Odins command, Tyr the War Celestial led the invincible army called the Einherjar. Thor the Lightning Celestial was known to always bring victories and glory, and Sif, who was Thors lover and Aesirs chief warrior, was there too
As Skathi was also present now, all the , who had contributed the most to enthroning Odin as a Celestial King, were present. However, Skathi kept looking at the ground, too ashamed to see Odin and the others.
Look at me, Skathi, Odin said as he gestured at her.
But I disgraced you, my Celestial King, so how could I dare! Skathi protested.
I decide whether or not you disgraced me, so look at me, Odin repeated.
Skathi finally looked up and saw the various looks on her comrades faces. Thor and Sif sought honor and pride as exceptional warriors, so they did not hide their sneers at Skathi. On the other hand, Tyr and Heimdall nodded at Skathi reassuringly. Vili and Ve looked nonchalant, acting the same as ever; they saw it as a matter of a mere subordinate.
Although its a shame that we didnt get to retrieve Teachers poem verses in , we shouldnt have counted on it when Twilight showed up there, Odin said.
Skathi bit her lower lip. Odin was trying to console her, but the attempt only weighed down on her heart. Just like Odin said, Chang-Sun was too strong. Even though Skathi was one of the , she held the lowest rank among them, so she was helpless against Chang-Sun. His spear skills, magic, ability to play mind games, tactical acumen Chang-Sun was a replica of the young Odin. Yes, Chang-Sun resembled Odin.
Perhaps its for the better that he acquired Teachers poem verses. It would have been very frustrating to retrieve them if the verses ended up in random strangers hands. Odin nodded, arrogantly sitting on his throne.
The similarities between Chang-Sun and Odin were evident even in that moment. The way Odin looked over the world, his way of speaking in which he did not tiptoe around others, his indifferent gestures, his charisma unknowingly overpowering everyone around him Chang-Sun was just the same. In fact, Skathi felt as if perhaps she would have served Chang-Sun as her master if she had not met Odin first, but
Thats all, Skathi thought.nove(l)bi(n.)com
She concluded that Chang-Sun had not surpassed Odins level yet. Chang-Sun resembled the young Odin, who had walked down the path of a merciless overlord, but the current Odin was masterfully experienced after going through samsara countless times. The comparison could not be made in the first place.
So dont blame yourself any further, Skathi. Use this moment as an opportunity to improve yourself. Thats all you need to do, Odin said.
Yes, my king, Skathi said as she bowed lower.
Odin looked elsewhere, asking, Heimdall, how far are we away from ?
Heimdall was currently piloting [Hringhorni], the enormous battleship and carriage that Odin and the others were in. After observing the Milky Way through a window for a moment, Heimdall answered, I believe well arrive in a day.
Its been a while since I met Freya, Odin said, smiling crookedly.
The field of magic had not been properly established in the past, but Freya was the woman who had taught Odin magic for the first time. She was also the queen of the Vanir, the race of gods who had been in conflict with the Aesir for a long time. After her defeat against Odin, she had suffered the humiliation of becoming a hostage of but had safely returned to after the fall of .
After her return, Freya had been lying so low that barely any rumors circulated about her, so many of the Celestials in forgot about her or thought that she was dead. However, Odin knew very well that Freya had never been the type who would actually lie low. She had a strong desire for power and was competent enough to make her ambitions come true, and that was why Odin had held her hostage in the past to stop .
Freya had to be looking for a chance to rise again and strengthen . Perhaps she had already created something more advanced than rune magic. Above all
Freya must have collected quite a lot of Teachers poem verses.
, , , , , , , , and ... Bestlas death had affected countless realms and . While was in Bestlas grace, Freya herself had been a fervent follower of Bestla, so Odin assumed that many verses of [Bestlas Poem] were there. Of course, it was unclear whether Freya would readily hand the verses to him
Ill have to crush her again if she doesnt. Odin smiled coldly.
Conquest.
Endless battles and an insatiable desire to conquer were why Odin had been able to solidify his footing as a Celestial King and bring terror to Worldline #801. Odin was now starting a new conquest of his own, but it would be very different from his previous ones, in which he had continuously made new enemies. Any forces he suppressed with pure power would stab him in the back if he showed any vulnerability even for a second.
Thus, Odin planned to proceed with his conquest so quickly that no one would see him coming, and others would never be able to catch up with him. His goal was no longer to become a Celestial King. He intended to go beyond Worldline #801 and the Great Universe, reaching the edge of the universe.
would be a good place to lay low, Odin thought.
After going through samsara countless times, Odin had finished formulating his plans, leaving him confident about his victory. As his eyes gleamed coldly
Neigh!
Clip-clop, clip-clop!
[Wait]! Chang-Sun shouted.
Ive been wondering why you didnt call me for so long. Hehe! A job like this is my specialty!
[The Heaven Link has been activated, quickly processing all the perceived information!]
Like a video on fast-forward, the world quickly spun, and numerous images appeared below Chang-Sun. Resembling a film made up of a line of countless photos, the images split apart into different paths over and over Chang-Sun saw numerous future timelines like a tree branching out.
[Processing.]
[Scanning a total of two future timelines.]
[Scanning the next future timeline, as the expected result has not been found.]
Two future lines became four, eight, sixteen, thirty-two, sixty-four The number doubled every time, and all the information about those Worldlines flooded into Chang-Suns mind.
[Processing.]
[A total of 1,048,576 future timelines have been scanned.]
A soul-crushing pain struck Chang-Sun, and his eyes turned bloodshot as he observed the future timelines. However, he never looked away. In one future timeline, Chang-Sun saw himself committing suicide in despair after failing to overcome Ubbo-Sathla in the end; in another, he was watching his Worldline crumble as he held Cha Ye-Euns hand. In yet another timeline, Chang-Sun was eaten after an endless war against Ubbo-Sathla.
[Processing.]
[A total of 274,877,906,944 future timelines have been scanned.]
All those future timelines were filled with anguish and pain, but Chang-Sun could see himself surviving and fighting until the end in some of them. Of course, most of those future lines still ended in a bad way. Still

Chang-Sun kept on searching.
[Processing.]
[A total of 562,949,953,421,312 future timelines have been scanned.]
As Chang-Sun lost count of how many future timelines he had scanned, he slowly started to lose hope but there was one faint future in the distance. Compared to the others, the timeline was so faint that Chang-Sun was unsure if it actually existed.
Its really tiring. Ive been repeating everything meaninglessly, so I was thinking about giving up now.
Chang-Sun could see someone fighting neck and neck against Ubbo-Sathla in that timeline. The person looked like Chang-Sun, but had an aura and energy that were totally different from his. He was an Outer Celestial, who fought Ubbo-Sathla after nearly reaching the zenith among Outer Celestials.
I hadnt expected to see you at this turning point.
The Outer Celestial spoke after suddenly turning in Chang-Suns direction, pushing away Ubbo-Sathla.
At that moment, Chang-Sun unwittingly stumbled backward in surprise. Of course, it was incredible enough for the other figure to look right at Chang-Sun despite the gap in time, but the Outer Celestials eyes shocked him the most. The Outer Celestial did not have any emotions; they seemed to have faded away after an eternity.
You are Chang-Sun muttered blankly.
Are you asking my name? I forgot long ago, but if I had to name myself Yes, you would be more familiar with this name.
The version of Chang-Sun with emotionless eyes answered.
Hsan.
He was another Lee Chang-Sun, the owner of the [Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan], who had sent Ithaca back to the past to create a turning point.
Call me Hsan.
