Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 284 Gilgamesh's 'Promotion'

"Finally, there's news. I've been getting impatient waiting." Gilgamesh's clone finally smiled when he received the news.

Their team of divine clones is in a rather awkward position. They cannot escape the will of the main body, have little autonomy, and their upper limit of strength is firmly locked.

In terms of policy, they could neither actively attack nor get involved in the fierce battle between Horus and Set, nor could they simply lay low and wait for an opportunity. They were in a state of being neither up nor down.

Under normal circumstances, it should be Ishtar, the mother, who should stabilize Gilgamesh, but in the Egyptian world, the opposite happened.

It was Ishtar who was irritable every day, and it was her son Gilgamesh who acted as the stabilizer.

Oh, and Elly also had a part in suppressing Ishtar, the impulsive and silly goddess.

Here, no matter how low-key they are, the accumulation of strength continues.

Sometimes, they can't keep a low profile just because they want to.

After all, when they are strong, there will naturally be enemies looking for trouble. Even if it is not because of their strong strength, just looking at the good weather and relatively stable grain production in their territory, the mortal kingdom of Lower Egypt is jealous.

This is a world destroyed by Mayan prophecy.

In fact, even if the Mayan God King Khmu cursed in the form of "prophecy", it does not mean that the Egyptian world has to endure all of this.

The first is the size. In a world of similar size, it is actually very difficult to defeat the other party in such a way of using little effort to achieve a great result.

Secondly, the handling method. To be honest, in the process of the realization of the Mayan destruction prophecy, the Egyptian pantheon had many ways to delay or even save the destruction process. Unfortunately, all the opportunities were wasted by the Egyptian gods.

Osiris, the god in charge of agriculture among the nine Egyptian gods, certainly fell.

The other eight pillar gods are still here!

Ultimately, in Downs' view, the Mayan prophecy of destruction is more like a destructive guide to the world cycle.

Leaving aside those irrelevant gods, there are the sun god Ra, the god of wind and air Shu, the rain god Tefnut, the earth god Geb, the sky god Nut, the goddess of life, magic, marriage and fertility Isis... These gods who possess considerable divine power, if they can communicate perfectly with the will of the Egyptian world and fully mobilize the elements in the world, they can completely offset the prophecy of destruction.

It's very sad, because of the civil war in the Egyptian pantheon, whether it is the Ennead Gods or the main gods below, as well as a series of related subordinate gods, were forced to take sides.

This hostility triggered a series of tragedies.

There were indeed gods who discovered the changes in the world and reported them to the Eight Pillar Gods.

Just like building an aircraft carrier with an 80% completion rate requires the cooperation of thousands of companies and millions of people in a powerful country. To crack the prophecy of destruction, the cooperation of the Nine Pillars and a group of related gods is also necessary. Unfortunately, the Eight Pillars have been divided into two camps, which is simply impossible.

In this context, the power of a single Eight Pillar God is not enough to eliminate the interference brought about by the prophecy of destruction. Using a large amount of power may also attract the attention and even sneak attacks of the enemy camp, resulting in the possibility of destruction.

If you do it, it will be beneficial to the world but harmful to your own camp and yourself.

If you don't do it and let the world be destroyed, it will be beneficial to your own camp and yourself.

So how to choose? We can’t just guess, right? So the Egyptian world stepped on the accelerator and rushed all the way on the road to hell.

While Jinlunga was busy devouring the three worlds of Joke, the signs of destruction in the Egyptian world became more and more obvious. Now this world is experiencing a similar situation to the [Fimbulwinter] in Jinlunga's world. The only difference is that the situation here is the opposite.

High temperature, heat and drought, this horrible weather has lasted for more than two years. Under this combination of factors, the flow of the Nile River, Egypt's river of life, has dropped by two-thirds.

The direct consequence is consecutive years of crop failure, and 75% of the oases in the desert area have dried up and disappeared.

The first to suffer, naturally, were the animal gods.

Humans find ways to obtain water by digging wells, but animals don't.

Many times, the disappearance of an oasis means the extinction of thousands of different animals.

It doesn't mean that if one oasis disappears, you can just go to another one. In the desert, oases are not evenly distributed, and the distance between oases can be very large. When the distance between two oases exceeds 50 kilometers, for most animals, this is an insurmountable death chasm.

The reduction in water resources meant that the water supply for livestock and fields became more scarce, and humans were forced to guard the banks of the Nile River tightly. Humans erected fences, set up cordons, and even laid a large number of antler traps to prevent wild animals from approaching.

The large-scale death of wild animals caused the weakening of the divine power of a number of animal gods and gods of corresponding fields.

During this period of time, no matter how low-key Gilgamesh and his men kept, nearly ten gods had died at the hands of him and Arthur or surrendered, including the snake goddess Wadjet, the patron saint of Lower Egypt, the ram god Khnum, the frog goddess Hequet, the scarab god, Khepri, the morning sun god, and some subordinate gods.

Among them, Khepri was a subordinate god of the sun god [Ra] (there is also a saying that he is Ra's incarnation), and he was still killed by Gilgamesh on a day when the sky was full of dust and the sun could not be seen.

The purpose of this group of infiltrating Aesir gods is to kill both good and evil. In any case, Gilgamesh kills the good gods, and Arthur kills the evil gods.

As for those who came to surrender, in addition to the leopard goddess Seshat who had surrendered before, there were four in total, including Imhotep, the patron saint of medicine and towers, Bastet, the cat goddess, and Naftum, the goddess of plants.

These four happen to be two from each of the acting camps of Jill and Arthur.

At the moment Gilgamesh received the order, a ray of light broke through the void and poured down on him.

Although he was clearly in a temple, a different sky suddenly appeared above his head. Countless prayers composed of runes contained powerful divine power, which shot into Gilgamesh's body like bullets.

The young god, who was wearing the aristocratic costume [Loyin*Cross] made of white linen, suddenly had seven lapis lazuli steps under his feet.

The next second, an illusory projection of the Tigris River appeared, with the shadows of merchant ships emerging in the river, and countless gold coins flying around him with a jingling sound.

His wine-red pupils were losing their old color, as if someone had poured melted gold foil from the sun into his eye sockets. Between his brows, the royal emblem of the Aesir clan was floating and flickering.

There was no severe pain. As he tilted his head back to endure the reshaping, everything seemed as normal as eating and drinking.

In front of the two surrendered goddesses, Sesat and Bastet, Gilgamesh was "promoted" so easily.
