Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

Rune script.

Odin hung himself upside down on the World Tree Yggdrasil for nine days and nine nights, his body pierced by his own spear of eternity, without eating or drinking, and finally, in a state of near death, comprehended all the secrets of the runes.

Runes are a "living force".

It is also the source and core carrier of all Asgardian runic magic; without runes, there would be no corresponding runic magic system.

Based on the symbolic meaning of runes, a complete spellcasting system has been derived, including various abilities such as enchanting, ritual spellcasting, and reality rewriting. It is a practical extension and application of the underlying power of runes.

It can be said that this thing is the core power of Asgard today.

Without a doubt, Matthew made a huge profit.

The learning threshold for runic writing is extremely high, ridiculously high.

Of course, this refers to top-tier power, like Odin and Rune King Thor, who use runes to manipulate reality and intervene in destiny. The threshold for this core ability is extremely high, and it can be reached by only a few members of the Odin family.

To put it simply, only Odin and the future Thor, and Hela have grasped a part of it.

Even Loki wouldn't do it.

However, the more common and basic runic scripts can be learned.

Ordinary artisans and warriors in Asgard only need to master fixed rune combination templates to complete basic weapon enchantments.

For example, adding certain properties to weapons and equipment is a standardized operation that does not require mastering all the underlying secrets of runes, and its popularity is very high. Therefore, rune enchantments can be seen on a large number of ordinary equipment in Asgard.

If you want to forge something like Gungnir, the Spear of Eternity, or Thor's hammer, you'll still need to combine it with the crafting techniques of the dwarves.

Regardless, runes laid the foundation for the glory of Odin's era in Asgard.

This had a profound impact on Terra, and even on Matthew himself.

Rachel and Natasha were well aware of this, so their joy was palpable.

"This is great, it's so important for our development."

Lei Che was so flustered that he rubbed his hands together like a fly, completely lacking the composure of a seasoned warrior.

"Go and inform Negri to immediately mobilize Starfire's computing power, and then inform Bucky and the others, including Wanda, to wait for my instructions."

"Yes!!"

Rachel and Natasha left immediately.

As for Matthew, he stared intently at the badge in front of him, his single eye now gleaming with a dazzling light.

In an instant, time seemed to freeze at that moment, and a profound, obscure, and vast amount of information flooded into Matthew's mind.

A massive amount of information and data has emerged, enough to easily overwhelm the brain of an average person.

But Matthew accepted it very smoothly.

He didn't feel the burning sensation, but rather felt that something deep within his soul, something that had slumbered for millions of years, was being gently knocked on for the first time.

The Holy City Temple, the starry sky, and the outline of the Terra transport aircraft that was flying across the sky all faded into a semi-transparent phantom in an instant.

His consciousness had followed the mark left by Odin on the badge and fallen directly into the roots of the World Tree Yggdrasil.

There is no wind, no light; time in the Nine Realms is a tangled mess of threads.

Twenty-four ancient symbols, like living star serpents, swam out from the depths of darkness, each carrying a different temperature.

This is not a simplified rune template carved on weapons by Asgardian craftsmen, nor is it one of those parchments in the library that record enchanting formulas.

This is the vast knowledge that Odin obtained by hanging upside down from the branches of the World Tree, exchanging his divine blood and dying will.

Countless fragments of fate woven by Rune flowed through his consciousness, but instead of bursting his soul, they seeped into the cracks of his original authority like flowing water.

In the fleeting moment outside, his consciousness had already completed a full analysis of the entire set of runes.

From the most basic rune syllables, primordial symbols, and energy structures, to the mid-level weapon enchanting, array imprinting, and physical enhancement systems, there are the top-tier runic authorities that can leverage reality, distort fate, and alter cause and effect.

All layers, all mysteries, and all underlying cosmic logic were dismantled in his mind into the purest primordial data.

Matthew stood quietly on the high platform of the main hall of the Holy City of Iros, his body surrounded by a slow, flowing golden light.

The golden runes that originally belonged to Asgard began to quietly appear on his body and in the void around him, but they were no longer the sacred golden light of the orthodox Asgard. Instead, they transformed into deeper, more vast patterns that carried the order of Terra.

Chapter 416 The Terra Empire's Foundation Deepens (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

While the outside world changed in the blink of an eye, Matthew's consciousness had already been bombarded with countless pieces of information.

Matthew's brain processing power is even more terrifying than that of a supercomputer.

A supercomputer is a technology that operates under rules that far surpass those of the human brain.

But Matthew wasn't the kind of cold machine that simply disassembled things; he was trying to understand the underlying logic from the ground up.

These are two completely different operational logics.

Although Matthew is now the Father, he has barely grasped the surface and middle layers of the rune script. He has thoroughly understood all the basic rune syllables, original symbols, and energy construction logic.

He has fully mastered the use of runes, which are extremely common in Asgard, such as weapon enchanting, array imprinting, physical enhancement, and spiritual power amplification. He can even optimize and improve these applications based on his own knowledge.

But when it comes to the most core top-level authority, the ultimate runic mysteries that can manipulate reality, distort fate, alter cause and effect, and bind the origin of the World Tree are as if separated by a thick barrier of origin.

He can glimpse and analyze the principles, but he cannot fully grasp them or use them at will.

It can only be said that the power that Odin obtained at such a huge cost cannot be fully comprehended or learned by Matthew in such a short period of time.

Matthew isn't that bad yet.

However, Matthew could sense that the imperial power evolving within his body had gained a completely new kind of strength.

That's right, it's the power of runes.

In this universe, many things seem simple and straightforward, yet they are profound and vast; knowledge is also power.

They are not relatively isolated or independent; on the contrary, they are inclusive.

As long as you can understand and grasp the underlying logic of the knowledge, you can apply it appropriately.

Of course, these are all based on the premise that one has the ability to understand and comprehend them.

Otherwise, this would be a barrier to entry.

Logically speaking, could Thanos learn runes?

Of course, Tony Stark can too.

Runes are essentially universal energy symbols, not exclusive to the Asgardian gods. Knowledge itself can circulate, be analyzed, and replicated.

In the original timeline, human technology was able to decipher, to some extent, the fragmented information and knowledge about runes left behind in Asgard on Earth, including weapon usage, etc.

Needless to say, someone of Matthew's caliber is even more exceptional.

Inclusivity is not a simple addition or subtraction problem, but rather the ability to accommodate entirely new power systems and combine them with one's own to form a more comprehensive and powerful force.

Matthew awoke from this vast sea of ​​knowledge, his eyes bathed in golden light.

He could sense that what he was seeing was becoming more profound, and that he was able to understand the universe more deeply.

To put it bluntly, he has gained more authority in this cosmic network.

Matthew gently raised his hand.

Without any visible movement, a sophisticated smartphone appeared out of thin air before my eyes, automatically playing videos that were ahead of their time.

It does not belong to this world, this universe, but to a past life.

"I can modify reality too," Matthew said, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The ability to alter reality is very special; only a very few people in this universe can do it. Even powerful figures like the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, and Dormammu cannot do it.

Even Matthew couldn't do it before.

To create something that doesn't exist out of thin air according to one's own will.

Erasure, creation.

He possesses similar abilities in Limbo, but this is only due to the enhancement of the Limbo authority, and it's something he can only do there.

But once on Earth, or in other dimensions, this ability is lost.

It's true.

Furthermore, his Emperor Power seed has already shown signs of blossoming, and his current level of strength has made a very significant leap.

Once the Emperor's Power is born, the internal evolution of his body will also be completely completed.

He will be like Odin, whose power will be inherited through bloodline, soul imprint, and personal strength.

His future offspring will also inherit a portion of the imperial power and possess many incredible abilities.

This is the foundation upon which the Terra Empire will thrive and grow ever stronger in the future.

He had only grasped a small part of the runes; he would need to digest the rest on his own.

Matthew quickly assessed the situation and concluded that even without the authority over the borders of Hell, he was already a top-tier fighter at the level of the Heavenly Father, second only to that old freak Odin.

In fact, that old pervert was also a protagonist of his era.

Although he suffered some setbacks later on, as a protagonist of an era, his combat strength is undeniable.

Matthew pondered that the old man's power at the end of his life was immeasurable.

If Dormammu in his prime were to fight Odin now, he would most likely get a severe beating.

However, if war really breaks out, Odin will only aim for a one-for-one trade with Dormammu, and it is very likely that he will succeed.

Especially now that the Holy Timeline has long since become invalid, and with Matthew as an ally, Odin has few concerns. Anyone who provokes him will face his wrath.

Matthew never considered sparring with the other party.

Because that was an emperor at the end of his life, and he would lose control if the slightest move was made.

...

Star Torch Headquarters.

In the spacious central hall, holographic projections displayed one mysterious character after another.

Twenty-four runes were clearly projected in front of Reicher, Natasha, and other high-ranking officials.

The crowd gathered around the 24 runes, their expressions thoughtful.

In addition to these projected images, streams of data information continuously flowed by, as the computing power of the massive computing cluster built by the artificial intelligence Veronica in conjunction with Terra was deconstructing the runic script.

Twenty-four runes floated in mid-air, each stroke gleaming with a cold, hard metallic blue light. They were a standard model rendered with the highest precision by the supercomputing cluster. The subsequent 24 runes were arranged and combined in various ways: 48, 56, 100, and 1000.

These 24 runes are independent basic magical units. They can be arranged and strung together in any length like ordinary text to form sentences and spells, or they can be combined into compound runes by superimposing graphics.

"Data comparison complete, rune infrastructure simulation matching complete, energy operation logic parsing progress 0.03%."

Veronica's cool, mechanical voice slowly echoed in the hall, accurately reporting the progress of the analysis.

Kara stepped forward, lightly tapping the floating rune screen with her fingertip to bring up the split rune modules individually. Her eyes were full of amazement: "Based on these 24 characters, the extension and permutation combinations have reached an theoretically unlimited level. It's incredible."

"What appears to be just twenty-four basic characters is actually a set of cosmic rules source code that can be infinitely extended."

Natasha nodded.

"This power has been ingrained in the very genes of the Asgardians."

Bucky crossed his arms and rested one hand on his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

Although Bucky is an old-fashioned man, he has long since fully accepted the present.

He can understand these things.

"A very powerful and comprehensive system of knowledge and power, fundamentally different from the magic system of Kamar-Taj."

Nydy gave her evaluation, and Jennifer, who was present as a spirit, nodded in agreement, her charming eyes filled with fascination for the new power of knowledge.
