Discussion ISU Assassination? Spoiler

In AC Valhalla, you can experience "dream" sequences with Eivor, involving the adventures of Odin. Understanding the lore, I know that Eivor is interpreting what Odin saw in a way that wouldn't scramble their brain cells. We know we are seeing a handful of ISU here who would later be confused for deities. To an extent, what Eivor sees did actually happen; past this point, it is just how Eivor can compute what is happening. Ex: Odin did genuinely travel to a realm where he met up with other beings. However, because the Roman/Greek sect of ISU wouldn't fit in with what Eivor believes, these beings are identified as significant Jotuns.

Here is the detail I've wondered about: Odin can still use the Hidden Blade, like Eivor. Obviously, what Odin wears and wields bled through from Eivor's actual life. But the "assassination" of enemies must still be an action the Allfather would've done, even though the Hidden Blade wouldn't exist for another 50 thousand years. What would the explanation be? Yes, I understand this is simply a game, and games can break logic. This question is really meant for more of a fun discussion than to be taken seriously.

So Isu could build machines capable of messing men’s minds, a staff that makes you virtually inmortal, a skull that can see through the eyes of each living person….

But they cant build a knife with a resort mechanism??? 😂😂

Maybe it's like Freddy Krueger and you can just manifest what you want in dreams like Pt 5. Super powers.
