It's not just that this theory has a lot of moving parts, it's that the gears are spinning in opposing directions and grinding themselves into dust.
Not that I think it is more likely that some other god did it, but...

What if Odin only answered the question: "who is most likely to convince the high priest of the dark one to help us?" They just need that guy to learn about the snarl (so the god of secrets wont get mad?) and then go to his gods plane.

How you get there might not be totally in stone, and another god thought killing off the Creed of Stone and Thors night shift was a bonus?

Still a little contrived, I guess, huh?
