Chapter 908 Why is it a hammer?
After a while, back in the throne room of Asgard, Odin displayed his spoils of war: a large bundle of threads floating in the sky. He sat on his throne, suspending the threads of fate as he spoke: "So many threads are enough for the three Fates to weave the fates of tens of thousands of people."
"But what we need to do can only be done once."
After Strange finished replenishing the silk threads, he put them away and looked at Peter: "We can only cast the spell after the bride arrives, but fortunately there is still enough time."
Peter opened his mouth. For most people, time was indeed sufficient. After all, most people didn't need to traverse the entire multiverse to find their teammates; their teammates were all on Earth. But Peter was different; he had to search the entire multiverse for them.
Of course, Strange clearly didn't care about Spider-Man's thoughts; after putting the items away, he simply asked, "You've picked out your stuff, right?"
"Yes, a branch of the World Tree. Actually, what I wanted to ask at first was if there was any alternative to Thor's hammer—"
Odin, upon hearing this, fell into thought: "If the Dwarf King were to forge a Stormhammer now, there might not be enough time, but if we had the Time Stone—"
"No, I think it's better to use the Infinity Stones less right now."
Strange refuted Odin's point of view with a single sentence, and more importantly, Odin did not insist, instead turning to look at the World Tree branch in Peter's hand: "So you chose this branch of the World Tree. Very good, but there is one problem, does the world that will become the battlefield have a World Tree, and even if it does, can this branch be connected to it?"
This was indeed a problem that Peter and Thor hadn't solved yet. They'd thought about it for a long time but still didn't know what to do. However, Odin quickly came up with a workaround: "However, we can seal the power of the World Tree inside. That way, it can at least be used normally before the power within the scepter is exhausted."
"If only we could."
Peter readily agreed, then added some extra requests: "And also, some kind of Norse runic magic. At least turning this branch into a staff or something would be better."
Odin nodded, then reached out and pulled the World Tree branch from Peter's hand to his own. He chanted something, and a powerful divine force poured out from Odin, causing countless runes to appear around the World Tree branch.
For a fleeting moment, the branch seemed to extend infinitely, transforming into a miniature World Tree. But the very next second, it began to deform, evolving from a single branch into a scepter made from a straight branch. Then, the runes embedded themselves in the scepter and vanished.
"So, this is a World Tree scepter. Spider-Man, in our world, as long as the connection between Asgard and Midgard remains, and as long as the World Tree exists, you can use this scepter to invoke its power and cast spells. You won't need to borrow power from those greedy dimensional demons; I've already cast the same spell on him as Mjolnir. No one in Asgard, besides you and Thor, can use it."
Thor has no intention of becoming a mage, meaning the staff already belongs to Peter. The World Tree Staff is essentially a connector to the World Tree, signifying that Asgard will cover all of Peter's future spellcasting costs—a gift from Odin to Peter for helping Asgard exile Mangog.
It was also a gesture of goodwill, a hope that Peter could help Asgard escape the cycle of Ragnarok, and an investment in Peter's future abilities. After helping Peter solve the problem of his magical source, Peter's potential would definitely increase.
The only drawback is that this infinite mana is only useful on Earth 616. Although in other universes, the staff can be used as a mana battery by pre-infusing it with power, it is not infinite mana after all.
However, Odin also prepared another additional function for this staff.
"In addition, Spider-Man, this World Tree Staff has special functions designed specifically for you."
As Odin spoke, he raised his staff and slammed it heavily into the ground. A powerful surge of divine energy erupted from the staff, and the World Tree Scepter transformed into a...
"hammer!"
Thor shouted excitedly. He recognized it. Back when he was Dr. Donald, he slammed his scepter into the ground, and it turned into Thor's hammer!
Odin nodded. "I'm sure you'll be satisfied, Spider-Man."
I'm not satisfied at all!
Peter resisted the urge to roll his eyes (though his mask concealed it). He meant that if Asgard had an extra Mjolnir or could forge one in time, that would be fine, but they didn't, so he chose a branch of the World Tree.
I mean a weapon of similar quality, not really a hammer!
Unfortunately, it seems the Asgardians were quite attached to the hammer, causing Odin to misunderstand Peter's meaning. He even explained, "The power of the World Tree here can be transformed into a kind of divine power. Spider-Man, it temporarily grants you the physique and divine power of an Asgardian god, equivalent to my son Tyr. However, this bestowal is temporary; you yourself do not possess godhood."
"No, this is good enough. I'm already very satisfied."
Peter caught the hammer Odin threw back and sensed the runic power emanating from it. He then skillfully transformed it back into a staff, which he then used as a pendant to hang on his watch.
In this way, his watch now displays both the Dragon Fang Sword and the World Tree Staff.
"Alright, that's about all we have to do."
Once Strange saw that he had accomplished both tasks, he decided to drag Peter away. If he stayed any longer, he might witness the father and son arguing, and he figured it was best to stay away from such a perfect family dynamic.
Peter, who was being dragged along, was completely bewildered. He was still admiring his new weapon: "Wait, haven't we said goodbye yet?"
"Oh, that's not allowed. Okay, okay, let's go."
Strange opened the Suspension Gate as he spoke. Thor and Odin watched the two leave, then Odin looked wearily at Thor standing there: "Is there anything you want to say, my son?"
In the end, Thor shook his head.
"—No, no, Father."
