Unlike the last time, he was alone in the whole white space. He was a little tense, unlike the previous times, and at times like these, Aoto had the habit of being alone and dealing with his thoughts. This was one of those days.

"Let's address the elephant in the room," Aoto mumbled as he approached the first lottery. He only prayed for a minute before revolving the spinning wheel. The wheel spun in full force, and after a moment, it stopped, and the pointer landed on a question mark.

"Please don't be a villain... Please don't be a villain," Aoto murmured. The question mark got replaced by the face of a man, a man with a very weird fashion sense.

The picture showed a man sitting on a throne with a stoic and quite handsome face. He seemed to be sitting with no emotions written on the face while thin green threads floated around him. It wasn't the case of a single thread; there seemed to be thousands of them surrounding his small golden throne.

The man sitting on the throne had a full green robe around him with loafers on his feet. He seemed to be some kind of deity, but the face of the man in the picture somehow gave Aoto the impression that he wasn't really happy sitting on the throne. Another very apparent thing about the man was the long horns adorned on his head.

Aoto, upon seeing the person, immediately knew who he was. Loki Laufeyson, or for this purpose, Loki Odinson, because the one sitting on the throne definitely earned the title of his adoptive father. The God of Stories or He Who Remains.

Aoto was actually happy that someone like him would be their teacher because he was too powerful, and also, he would have knowledge that would span through centuries. He was not only proficient in magic but also in science. This Loki had spent centuries learning physics, mechanics, and engineering.

"Wait, if he is our teacher, how will he sit on that throne? That throne needs a person at all times."

The host doesn't need to worry about it. The system will provide the teacher with an extra body and have connection with the same head and higher mental power and information processing, thus the teacher can in two places at the same time and if he wishes he can be in one place too.

"Okay, that is fine. Summon him."

Unlike the previous times, the person wasn't summoned, but a small portal opened. Aoto got to see the same man in the picture. He turned around, surprised to see a portal, and also a man looking through the portal. In the next moment, a body appeared near him. Within seconds, he got to understand what was going on as new information flowed into his brain.

Loki, sitting on the throne, was someone who was manipulating and holding all the timelines in the multiverse and also the sacred timeline. He was there because if he didn't do that, then all the branched timelines would cease to exist, and he would lose his friends forever. The sad part being he would have to sit on the throne for eternity.

But here, he might get the chance and get out. He would get to see a new world.

"Hello," Loki said.

"Hello," Aoto replied from across the portal. He wasn't allowed to come into this place because he might actually die here. There was an awkward silence in the air as both of them just looked at each other while the other lifeless body of Loki just stood nearby.

But it only lasted for a few seconds, as the lifeless body of Loki came to life and without another word, came out of the portal. He looked at the white background, but he didn't mind. Loki finally said,

"In all of my timelines, I have never heard of the world of yours."

Aoto was surprised by it because he expected that anime would be a point in the Marvel world or the story of Naruto, but he was wrong.

"What do you know of this world?" Aoto asked as he too was trying to lift the awkwardness.

"That all the people here are powerful," Loki said.

"That is a start. By the way, thank you for the sacrifice for the greater good, teacher," Aoto said as he bowed down his head. Loki felt embarrassed and said,

"Being called a teacher is a first for me."

"Well, you should get used to it because you already have many students," Aoto said with a smile.

"Hahaha, I am excited to meet them. Staying in that throne takes a toll on my back," Loki said as he cracked his spine a bit by bending backward and sideways.

"This is not your actual body," Aoto reminded.

"But I can act like one," Loki replied while being a bit irritated that he was being reminded by his student. Loki at the end was still Loki because they weren't friends yet; he still hadn't cozied up to them.

"I will send you out of the village, and you can come back here after being registered," Aoto said.

"Should I have to do it?" Loki still had a bit of a superiority complex and he didn't want to follow rules.

"You can do it like in New York, and it will end with you killing everyone here because people take security here too seriously," Aoto said. He was sure that Loki would be able to kill everyone here because control of time wasn't something anyone could do in this world, not even the Ōtsutsuki. Maybe only the Ōtsutsuki God could do so.

Loki, hearing him, only rolled his eyes, but he accepted, and Aoto sent him out of Konoha. He didn't need to be introduced at the moment and could be done later. The next thing Aoto needed was to open the realm.
