Nah. I don't think I'm confusing them. I know Odin absorbed Asgard's power to fight giant snake Set while he gave Thor the Odinforce. But in Journey to Mystery when Odin's memory was foggy, they also fought in a ruined Asgard. I don't remember if Odin also absorbed Asgard's power then, too.Not sure.
I'm almost positive they're the same thing. Set and Seth are Egyptian Elder Death Gods...same character. He can transform himself into a serpent.
Odin didn't absorb the power of asgard as far as I remember. he just was a little hazy and when his memory returned he easily pwned him.
