Chapter 62 - A Surprising Answer (1/2)

”Um... what does the blessing ceremony entail ?”, Ray asked in a girlish voice with a sweet fake smile.

”Ha. Ha. Ha. Nothing much, you just sit on my throne while we Asgardian gods kneel down in front of you while you say you give us your blessings. That's all.”, Odin said with a sweet fake smile.

”Yes. Nothing much but just say you give us your blessings in front of all Asgardian gods and citizens. Ha. Ha. Ha.”, Freya said with a sweet fake smile.

(Ray's point of view)

Oh God ! There is Odin's fake smile again ! It's creeping me out. Oh God ! Not Freya too ! Not you too ! Oh God ! Freya's fake smile is creeping me out as well. What ? Sit on the throne of Asgard ? All Asgard gods kneeling down before me to receive their blessings ? What the fuċk is going on ? I guess there is no other way than to go through this so called blessing ceremony to find out what they are up to.

”Uh... I suppose there is no harm in giving you my blessings. When will I have to do this ?”, Ray asked in a girlish voice.

”Yes ! I mean I thank you my guest for doing the blessing ceremony. I think tomorrow is all it will take to do the ceremony. Make it tomorrow morning. Right Freya ?”, Odin said with another fake sweet smile.

”Thank you. Thank you. Oh ! Yes, of course my husband, I can have everything arranged by today and the ceremony held tomorrow. No problem. Excuse me, Ray. I will have to get everything ready for tomorrow. And thank you again. You don't know what this means to us.”, Freya said with a smile that seems sincere.

”Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! Meanwhile let me take you around for a tour of Asgard. Your three bodyguards are here as well as our guest.” Odin said sweetly.

”Do you need my three bodyguards to give you their blessings as well ?”, Ray asked in a girlish voice.

”Uh. No, but they can be witnesses to the blessing ceremony tomorrow.Ha. Ha. Ha.”, Odin said with a fake smile.

Meanwhile in Kamar Taj, a very depressed Dr. Strange is getting his daily briefing from the Ancient One about information they got about the cosmic entity that ate Dormammu.

”So what's new ?”, Dr. Strange asked depressingly.

”Ahem. Cheer up. We got information on the entity that ate Dormammu. Hey, I am the one dying here, cheer up.”, the Ancient One said confidently.

Baron Karl Mordo walked in with Master Wong at this moment.

”Welcome Karl, do you have any news ?”, the Ancient One asked with a smile.

”Well we have good news and bad news, which one do you want to listen to first ?”, Baron Karl Mordo said in a gruff voice.

”You have good news. Can I have the good news first ? Lately I have been a bit depressed.”, Dr. Strange said with a slight smile.

”Ah. The good news is that Galactus the world eater is dead. We don't have to worry about him anymore. The bad news is that we think whichever cosmic entity that devoured Dormammu also devoured Galactus, the Celestials, Mephisto, Satannish, The Gibborim, The Beast, Chthon, Set, Oshtur, Agamotto, Hoggoth, Master Order, Lord Chaos, Love and Hate, M Kraan Crystal, Eon, the Watchers, the Progenitors and various other cosmic beings we know nothing about.”, Baron Karl Mordo said grimly.

”What ?! That's the good news. Why is that the good news ?”, Dr. Strange said depressingly.

”Well you don't have worry about any evil entities attacking Earth anymore. You can just concentrate all your effort on protecting Earth from a single cosmic entity.”, Baron Karl Mordo said with a smile.

”Gah ! That's not good news ! It's bad news and worst news ! Oh God ! I am so depressed right now. I need to lie down in my bed and rest for a while.”, Dr. Strange said as he left the room and walked down the corridor.
