Kratos said no to Odin in God of War: Ragnarök because of his deep-seated distrust of gods, Odin's history of manipulation and betrayal (especially towards giants like Freya and Atreus's mother), seeing Odin as a reflection of Zeus, and his focus on protecting Atreus rather than seeking peace through a deceitful deity. Odin's offer of peace was seen as a trick, and Kratos recognized Odin's true monstrous nature and self-serving motives, preferring to fight for his own path.
Odin wanted Kratos because he thought he was a giant, or at least that Faye was living where Kratos was living. (Which he wasn't wrong about). Now he wants Kratos because he killed his kin. This theory doesn't make much sense.
In God of War Ragnarok, Kratos says to Odin “Return my son or you may meet the god I once was.” If you listen closely, you can hear the exact moment that Odin pisses himself.
Prior to the release of God of War Ragnarök, many fans theorised that the player would be able to use Mjölnir after defeating Thor. While it is true that the hammer would have been an incredible asset for the player, it cannot be wielded or even picked up by Kratos (nor Atreus) for several reasons.

Spidey agonizes over everything, he feels guilty even when it's unwarranted. That doesn't make him a bad person, perhaps the opposite, but it does mean he isn't worthy to wield Mjolnir.
Loki is a god in Norse mythology. He is the son of Fárbauti (a jötunn) and Laufey (a goddess), and the brother of Helblindi and Býleistr.
Now onto their power and durability. Kratos should scale to GOW Thor, as we see him exchange blows with him in their first battle (despite holding back and being weakened by Fimbulwinter, though he did get killed and Thor wasn't allowed to kill him), and in their final fight Kratos defeats him.
Kratos: Death can have me when it earns me.

"Once... mankind accepted a simple truth, that they were not alone in this universe. Some worlds, man believed to be home to their gods. Others, they knew to fear.
In Ragnarök's downloadable content (DLC) pack Valhalla, it is revealed that Freya, now the Queen of the Realms, offered Kratos to join her council as the new Norse God of War, as Týr abandoned the position, but Kratos was reluctant due to his abuse of power on the Greek pantheon.

The Hulk Once Lifted 150BILLIONS of Tons in Marvel Comics. HE held an entire mountain range above his head for an extended period of time The Hulk got to prove his strength during Marvel's Secret Wars, holding an entire mountain on his back. That still wasn't heavy enough for The Hulk!
