Marvel: The Convergence Of Souls - Chapter 62

Whos in his head – Madara, Itachi, Kurama, Orochimaru, Danzo, Obito, Minato, Kisame, Kakuzu, Shikamaru, Kakashi, Naruto, Shiro Emiya, Edward Elrich, Escanor, and Meliodas.

“Madara!” Odin calls out in greeting from atop his throne.

“Hello, Odin. Why have you called me here today?” I ask, confused at what the old man could want.

“Three reasons. One of them is to ask you if you will be leaving tomorrow. The Bifrost was finished earlier today thanks to you. We are thankful for your help. You are welcome to stay as long as you would like.” Odin said. It might have been my imagination, but I thought I could see a faint smile form on his face.

“Yes, I will be leaving tomorrow. I have been gone from my friends and family for long enough already, and I am sure they worry about me.” I had already told them about me being gone for a bit, so that was a lie. I just wanted to get back and help catch Reed so that I can get my hands on Doom.

“I see. We will be holding a feast for your leaving tonight then. But don’t get flattered the feast is mainly for the Dwarf king’s departure.” Odin says and this time I know I saw a smile on his face.

“Thank you, Odin. What were the other two reasons you wanted to see me?” I ask.

“Yes, one of the other reasons for me seeing you is the crows. As I am sure you know I have a close connection to the Crows. But apparently, you have an even closer one. They have informed me that you are what they call the Crow summoner but what that is I do not know.” Odin says, sitting up straight on his throne and staring at me with intensity. Crap I was sort of hoping no one would find out about that because it was one of my trump cards.

“Yes, I am the Crow summoner,” I say not denying it. I had never met a sage though so I didn’t know how to go into Sage mode. One of the Crows had told me that once there was a Crow sage, but he had disappeared many years ago. No one had ever seen him since so they thought he might be dead, but it was never confirmed.

“I see. And may I ask you what exactly is a Crow summoner? The crows have such loyalty towards you so it must be something special.” Odin says. I could see the interest he held for this.

“Odin could it be… You would like to become a Crow summoner?” I ask with a smirk — finally, a bargaining chip. If I ever wanted something in the future, I could use this. I would not let him sign the summoning contract so soon though.

“Indeed.” Odin simply said waiting for me to answer the previous question.

“Well, a Crow summoner is someone who can directly summon crows to do battle for you. These Crows are special though.” I said. I wanted to do a demonstration, so I did the hand seals required for the summoning Jutsu. “Summoning Jutsu: Crows!” I said and bit my finger then planted it on the ground.

A poof of smoke happened, and a Crow, the size of a baby cow, popped out. I did not summon my main summon because I did not want to reveal the Sharingan to Odin yet. I would rather keep all of my trump cards secret until I needed to use them.

“Hey, boss! What did you need?” The Crow asked. I smiled as I saw Odin’s eye bug out.

‘HAHAHAHA! Seeing Odin surprised is so funny!’ I laugh in my head at Odin’s reaction.

“Nothing right now I just wanted to show you off to Odin over here,” I say with a smile watching Odin try and keep his emotions in check.

“Hehe, I see boss. I don’t blame you for showing me off I am pretty amazing aren’t I. I am the gre-” I unsommuned him before I had to listen to any more of his narcissistic rambling.

“Excuse him. He is… Well, he is dumb.” I say annoyed at the crow. He dared to boast in front of me? I was the best no competition!

“That was… How?” Odin asks, confused, and intrigued.

“They were nourished by magic from a young age.” I lied because I didn’t want him to know about chakra. “Because of this and the unique conditions they grew up in some of them learned to talk human language. I can summon them through magic, and they will do as I ask. In return, I will protect them from threats such as other summoning animals.” I say, smiling.

“There are others?” Odin asks astounded.

“Yes, but that is a story for another day,” I say not wanting to spend a lot of time explaining how it all worked. “What was the last reason you wanted to talk to me?”

“I have a quest for you. I have seen your battle prowess, and I think you are ready. I cannot let Thor know about it yet though because he will be… displeased.” He says. When he said displeased I think he really meant an angry as hell. I wonder what quest he means that is so important?

“What are the rewards of this quest?” I ask. I was not an idiot that would help everyone in trouble like those stupid protagonists.

‘HEY! I know that was a jab at me! So what I liked helping people what’s wrong with that?’ Naruto yelled in my head. I didn’t even bother to answer.

“Yes, the rewards. How about I get a friend of mine to accompany you to Midgard and teach you magic?” Odin asks. I widen my eyes what quest could possibly give me such great rewards?

“When you say magic…” I trail off. It was sort of a question.

“I mean whatever you want. Creation magic, Illusion, Science, and Magic combination you name it.” Ok, now I knew this was an insanely important quest.

“Very well then I will accept. What is this quest you wish to send me on?” I ask excitedly at the prospect of being able to learn magic.

“You must swear to keep this a secret first!” Odin says.

“I swear then that I will keep this quest a secret!”
