John came to Asgard for two reasons. One was because he wanted to propagate his works here to gain more fan values. Earth would't be enough for John to gain more values and secondly he wanted to see if TVA or the Time Variance Authority, responsible for maintaining the Sacred Timeline, comes if he saved Frigga. Though in many universes Frigga was alive and was never hunted by the TVA.
John wanted to see if they really come. All his life he was in fear of being hunted down by them but soon realized that TVA never came when he touched the lives of many people. Even though he made sure that the timeline didn't distort a lot but after Hydra's demise the plot had already gone out of the window. All of Hydra died much earlier than they were supposed to.
Now he wanted to see if TVA comes when he saves Frigga. Because they showed up when Loki escaped and lived and would like to see what would happen if Frigga was saved.
"Are you sure of this condition alone? Is this some kind of a joke?" Odin asked.
"It's not a joke. I love my works and I want all of Asgard to watch it. Many people have started coming from different universes. Some might even come to Asgard. The people needs a guidance to that so my works would help them understanding the other party."
Odin contemplated a bit, he was confused about why John had a weird condition. He expected treasures from his vault for the exchange of Frigga's life but his condition really felt out of the world.
"Though I think you are hiding something with this condition but I will accept it only after you are able to save Frigga. " Odin said.
"I won't be saving her. I will be sending a friend of mine. He too like you comes from legends and Gods. Oh yes he is as grumpy old guy as you." John said. Frigga laughed loudly at the description of Odin.
"Now tell me how is she going to die. I will take proper measures." Odin asked without minding the slight of John.
"I can't, the more I speak more the future will distort. Don't act on anything and act as you are supposed to. It won't be long before everything is revealed. I must say that Queen Frigga compassion is enormous as even after knowing she might die you didn't flinch."
"Death will come when it's supposed to come." Frigga said in a tranquil voice.
"Who's your friend that is going to help us?" Odin asked.
"You will see him soon. Tell Heimdall to be on the lookout in Asgard as he will arrive here. Never antagonize him. He has a very bad history when it comes to Gods. He killed every last God in his previous world." John said.
"He will arrive here in Asgard? Won't it be dangerous for us?" Odin asked this time.
"It's fine as long as you don't mind his business, he won't care. He has a son now. Do you think a person with a family will care about other matters now? All his life only thing he had seen was bloodshed and revenge. He is at peace now. It's almost the same life as yours." John assured him.
Odin still felt skeptical and made a mind to remind Heimdall to keep a watch on the new guest. Then Odin lifted the enchantment as he could feel the guards outside were getting restless with this long absence.
Emma came too as John had been missing for sometime now. Odin didn't ask any more about this and kept his stance as usual. Frigga too wasn't bothered and continued talking with Emma.
John went outside the palace to continue his vacation as he wanted. He would summon Kratos and his son at night in the nearby woods. He was sure Heimdall would notice his arrival and take necessary measures.
As the night fell John and Emma returned to their guest room. As John laid down he said to the system
"Summon Kratos and Atreus in the woods nearby."
As soon as Kratos and his son were summoned, both Heimdall and Odin felt it. Heimdall asked for direction from Odin.
"Leave them be for tonight. I will summon them tomorrow." Odin said after contemplating. Even though John said that he would be harmless Odin still had to see if they were trustworthy.
The night went by and Heimdall said that the father son duo acted normal and even made a temporary home in a few hours in the woods.
"Summon them." Odin said. "Call John too."
Kratos and his son was soon approached by the guards. And since John had directed him to act accordingly, he obliged by the order and followed the guards with his son.
Soon all three came to the main hall of the palace. Kratos appeared bald with a red tattoo covering his right eye. He had a beard exactly like Odin but only difference was he had black beard. His son was very young and looked cute.
Odin called Frigga too and ordered his guards to give them privacy as he needed to speak with them in a secrecy. Like before he used enchantment too.

Kratos stood in front of Odin with his typical scowl. He looked stoic as he held the hand of his son. Odin too looked at Kratos. He wore a more ancient clothing and had battle scars all over his body signifying he had gone through many battles.
"Welcome to Asgard. I hope the journey was pleasant." Odin finally broke the silence with that.
"Hmm. It was different." Kratos replied. John had his hand in his forehead. These two are way too stubborn. He needed to remedy the situation.
"Umm Kratos.. I have already guided you with the dreams. This is Asgard." John said as he needed to play the role.
"Yes I understand that I will have to keep her alive if I want to stay" Kratos said in a deeper voice.
"No. You can live here without any problems. Even if I die, it won't matter. You can live here peacefully without any hindrance. I understand that you have been flung here without consent so it's not your fault. Asgard will be your home now and forever." Frigga replied this time.
Kratos looked at Odin. He nodded his head. Then Frigga looked at his son and asked
"What a lovely boy. What's your name child?"
"Atreus.. Hello madam." Atreus said.
"Hello..."
"His mother was from Jotunheim. She named him Loki. Not the same Jotunheim of this universe. His universe too has Asgard and the nine realms. So his mother was from Jotunheim." John added this time.
Both Odin and Frigga shuddered when they heard this. Loki, a name which was very close to them.
"Is he really called Loki?" Odin asked Kratos this time.
"Yes. That's the name his mother gave him." Kratos said.
"Kratos, will you mind if I adopt your son as god-son?" Frigga suddenly asked. "He will be a Prince to Asgard." She continued.
"I don't think we want anything to do with your titles ." Kratos said.
"I know but the thing is I have another son named Loki who is in prison for his crime. I failed to educate him. I hope I can educate this child better. He lost his mother, didn't he. I will try to give him the best education possible. Of course he will be the Prince only if you say so. " Frigga said.
"Boy.. Would you like to be a Prince?" Kratos asked Atreus.
"I will follow whatever you say father." Atreus said but he had a smile on his face when he heard that he would be a Prince of such a huge place.
Kratos looked at John, as at the end John is the real controller of everything. John nodded his head. Odin too accepted Atreus as the new god-son. After removing the enchantment, he called the guards and asked for a banquet to announce the new Prince of Asgard.
Odin had his own calculations on it. He saw how Kratos looked at John and John was probably like a guide to everyone who comes from another universe. If he tied down Atreus to Asgard, John might help Asgard in future. Above all he would propagate his works in Asgard soon so John was basically a helper of Asgard. Odin himself didn't mind another son.
This would help Thor gain a brother's love again and teach him to be a kinder King. Asgard was in uproar as now there would be a new Prince. They soon came to know that it was an adopted son by Frigga and Odin. The subjects soon started preparing for the banquet as honoring a new Prince was a must.
Due to such arrangement, Thor and others would be brought back for the celebration and crowning of the new Prince. John on the other hand made sure Atreus didn't have a cocky character in the future like he did in the God of War 4 game. Having to keep an eye on the duo, as an added bonus Frigga would be his mother so that would teach humility.
"Aah.. Whatever.. Didn't expect that... Maybe one day he would be the king of Asgard as both the current Loki and Thor won't sit on the throne. What a cunning King Odin. Giving the position of prince to Atreus so that Kratos could almost give his life but of course there is a long time for that. I don't think Odin will ever hand over the throne to Atreus."
So by the evening the palace was decorated majestically for the ceremony. Emma soon came to know the reason. After watching so many things, she already accepted that random characters would arrive from other universes. Only this time it was in Asgard.
In the evening, Thor arrived along with Sif and others. He even brought some prisoners from nine realms. John even went to see the prisoners if there was a Dark Elf among them but didn't find any.
"I guess Kratos would have to wait for his opportunity. Let him be the hero. Knowing his history he deserves to settle down too."
