But I'm confused B, not yur fault, it's the story.
The "fires" that were supposed to destroy the nine universes and then some ... were released in Full ...
... how is it they couldn't even destroy the single universe known as Asgard-Space?
-------------------------------------------
All they need is a "Conduit" to get rid of this problem.
Thor doesn't have the power to get this done. Welcome Odin.
Odin was in the other Reality that housed Asgard, known as Asgard Space:
============================
The Odin scenario:
============================
So, Odin is in the Sea of Space, Davis chose the other term used, "Asgard-Space,"
which is nowadays a standalone full universe.
Odin is tricked by Loki & Leah to help Thor.
Odin opens a dimensional-portal and they appear on the battlefield with Surtur:
------------------------------------------
Surtur explodes, the great fire-power is released in Full!.
Odin does not block, absorb or withstand the flames,
instead he shunts the flames through the portal he came from: ("Conduit" they needed)

Odin directing the flames through the portal:

============================
Cool.
So, what happened to the "all-consuming" Flame-Power Surtur had collected?
Where did Odin guide these energies to?
Did they burn away an entire Universe where they landed?
===========================
Odin is pissed not only cause he was tricked into helping Thor,
but also cause the place where he guided Surtur's burning-power through the portal
was "Asgard-Space"
Here's Odin, peering into a ball witnessing Surtur's Fire burning in Asgard-Space:
------------------------------------------
Odin opens another portal to "Asgard-Space" (we see Fire withIN the portal)
Odin, and the chic, actually go to the universe where the Fire is, to watch ...
... so obviously the great Surtur Fire did Not explode or slag Asgard-Space entirely.
============================
So, what are we left with?
1) All the power Surtur collected was enough to burn the Dimension containing Asgard,
known as the "Sea of Space" or "Asgard-Space."
2) Surtur nor Odin ever acted on an actual "Universal" scale in this arc.
3) Odin never affected any Eternity and/or any Universe's Space-Time.
4) Odin was able to open a Conduit and shunt Surtur's power
into the Universe containing Asgard.
============================
IMO! based on what I read/saw.
This isn't universal manipulation imo.
Rage showed me Odin performing universal scale influence in the respect thread. Which I agree was. But this is not, imo.
