"I must've forgotten something," Odin said with a genial smile, appearing completely unbothered by his frail state.

Roger knew that at this stage in his life, Odin had only a few years left. Soon, his time would run out, and with his passing, Hela, sealed in Hel by Odin's power, would emerge to face Thor and Loki, marking the beginning of the events of *Thor: Ragnarok*.

Odin had no recollection of Andrea, or perhaps he had simply forgotten her existence. Unable to pursue the topic any further, Roger waited quietly before finally saying:

"If even you don't know, then I'll take my leave."

"Won't you stay a while longer? I don't know why, but I feel a certain kinship with you," Odin replied, smiling.

"A kinship?" Roger asked, surprised.

"Yes... like with Thor and Loki..." Odin mused.

"..."

So, in other words, you're telling me I remind you of your sons? If anyone else had made that kind of comment, Roger would have been annoyed.

But Odin was the All-Father, a god who had lived for countless millennia. Given his ancient wisdom, Roger did not think Odin was making light of the situation.

Moreover, like the Sorcerer Supreme, Odin wasn't someone who spoke without reason.

Roger thought for a moment, then pulled out another Mind Stone he had concealed and placed it on the table, looking at Odin.

"Do you... recognize this?" Roger inquired.

"The Mind Stone... wait, that's strange," Odin remarked. The moment he laid eyes on it, he knew it was the Mind Stone. But the Mind Stone was supposed to be encased within the scepter Roger held in his other hand, Loki's scepter.

Odin's expression shifted, becoming serious. He raised his gaze to Roger, asking, "Where did you get this?"

"It was left behind by a Sorcerer Supreme named Andrea. Inside this stone is the coordinate of your world, and that's how I came here," Roger explained again.

Odin stared at the Mind Stone for a long while before suddenly snatching it up with a speed that left Roger stunned.

It was hard to fathom how such a frail-looking, Old God could move with such swiftness, the All-Father lived up to his reputation.

Roger marveled at Odin's prowess but soon realized something was off. The Mind Stone in Odin's grasp began to emit a radiant glow. In just moments, the light enveloped both Roger and Odin, creating a separate, illusory space.

Roger leaped to his feet, his combat suit instantly manifesting around him. He had no idea what was happening, but it was always wise to be prepared.

In this independent space, Roger turned to look at Odin once more. Odin's one good eye had turned completely white, his head tilted back, and the Mind Stone's power was swirling around his mind. It projected an image into the illusory realm created by the stone.

...

The vision shifted, and in an instant, a spectral image of Asgard materialized before Roger. He recognized it as the interior of Asgard's royal palace.

Inside the palace, a younger Odin, clad in what looked like sleepwear, seemed to have just awoken. Standing outside the palace, he surveyed Asgard, lost in thought.
