Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 320 Taking the Blame? No, it's an open conspiracy!

At the same time, in the Indian world.

As soon as Shiva returned to his temple, he received a message from Vishnu, another of the three principal gods.

Shiva raised his left hand and saw Vishnu's projection in the flames.

What is the world like in Japan?

"Small!" Shiva said succinctly.

"As expected, the ocean in that world is quite a nemesis to you, isn't it?"

"So-so," Shiva said coldly.

As an all-powerful supreme deity, Shiva also has a water incarnation. There will certainly be an impact, but it will certainly not be fatal. As long as he doesn't recklessly rush into the Fusang world, the threat is minimal.

The two triad gods discussed for a while and unanimously agreed to fight slowly.

This is the rhythm of a divine war—stripping the enemy's wings, weakening their regenerative abilities, constantly bleeding them dry, and ultimately dragging them down to their death.

In this respect, the Hindu pantheon is actually quite familiar with it.

The Triad Gods operate in this way: through invasion and gradual encroachment, they continuously gather the smaller worlds next to their own, making them vassals and eventually incorporating them into the world.

However, the Hindu pantheon is not so ruthless in its actions, as it has thirteen official languages.

While this approach may have reduced resistance in the conquered world in the short term, it sowed the seeds of future problems.

In contrast, Towns did things more ruthlessly.

The Celtic world itself had no written language. Even if it did, characters like Scáthach used runes, which was a direct descendant of their own. What was truly ruthless was the treatment of the Sumerian pantheon. After the conquest, Downs abolished cuneiform. Even if an old Sumerian god used it, they were immediately stripped of their divine status and reduced to mortal. For any remaining Sumerian people, whoever used it was destined to die. This top-down, forced reform was entirely based on the brutal massacre of the former god-king Enlil.

Initially, this certainly sparked some resentment behind the scenes, but Downs strengthened the whistleblowing system. Anyone who had evidence that their superior continued to use the old language would have that superior dismissed without question, and the whistleblower would be heavily rewarded. Under this forceful strategy of sowing discord, the Aesir's annexation and assimilation of the other pantheons proceeded smoothly.

In contrast, the various incomplete conquests and reforms of the Indian pantheon also sowed the seeds of future problems...

Just as Shiva and Vishnu were discussing the war, a divine attendant entered.

"Reporting to the High God, Susanoo from the Fusang world has sent a challenge to a duel?"

"A duel?" Shiva was taken aback.

They were already struggling to find a way to subdue Susanoo. It was like a turtle with its head retracted, making it difficult to inflict a fatal wound. And then Susanoo suddenly jumped out on his own?

Breaking down the tactics, a tornado-like surge of water elemental energy erupted from within. For a mortal, or even an ordinary demigod, such an elemental strike would likely be enough to wipe them out. Against a Triad God, it was at most as effective as spitting out a saliva from afar.

Shiva didn't care.

In a phantom of a wave, Susanoo, who had fought Shiva not long ago, appeared with bloodshot eyes and looked like a madman!
"Shiva—how dare you—how dare you kidnap my beloved Kushinada-hime?! You bastard, give her back to me. You want to duel me, is that it? Fine! I'll grant your wish, you choose the place..." What followed was a long, almost impotent, furious roar from Susanoo.

This 'duel letter' left both Shiva and Vishnu dumbfounded.

They had no idea that Susanoo had fought against Orochi for the sake of Kushinadahime's family, nor did they know what this mortal lover meant to Susanoo.

They were only curious about one thing—when did Shiva go and steal someone else's wife?
Not only Shiva, but even Vishnu laughed.

Although India is a magical place, where even female lizards wearing chastity belts dare not freely cross the bustling streets of India, but... it's possible that Shiva stole someone's wife, but it's unlikely that Shiva was the one who stole someone's wife.

Shiva is the god of asceticism, who spends his days practicing asceticism on Mount Kippur in the Himalayas. Through the most rigorous asceticism and the most thorough meditation, he gains the most profound knowledge and magical powers.

If he were a lecherous or despicable person, he could never have achieved his current fame.

This was so outrageous that it even alarmed Brahma.

To be honest, Brahma, despite being a Triad of gods, doesn't actually manage much. Aside from occasionally taking the blame, he doesn't concern himself with the internal or external wars of the Indian world.

It's quite surprising that this could bring him up.

Vishnu sighed, “There must be a conspiracy behind this, but in any case, it is beneficial to our world.”

Or rather, this is the true, overt strategy.

Shiva was very unhappy about being unfairly blamed.

It's unclear who provoked Susanoo into such a rage that he actually decided to challenge Shiva to a duel. The crucial question is, once Susanoo leaves the deep waters of Fusang, how much fighting power does he still possess?
Shiva was absolutely certain: "As long as it is a neutral region, I will not lose to any god in a one-on-one fight."

That's just right!
Perhaps the green ocean god, Susanoo, is a very unfortunate victim, and there is no true fairness in this chaotic universe.

Without Susanoo's protection, the world of Fusang is nothing more than a little girl forced into a back alley.

After some discussion, it was decided that Vishnu would respond to Susanoo's challenge in Shiva's voice.

We cannot agree with your accusation that Shiva abducted his wife, but Shiva is willing to meet with Susanoo in the world of Maleya.

Vishnu didn't even dare to let Shiva reply himself, after all, the reputation of an ascetic was a very important thing.

Shiva can destroy and kill, but he can never be said to have stolen another god's wife.

Honestly, Shiva didn't even want Vishnu to write this letter. It was entirely Vishnu who persuaded Brahma with the righteous cause of divine war, and together they put pressure on Shiva, which finally made Shiva reluctantly agree to let Vishnu write it. After it was written, Shiva had to review it before the letter was sent out.

Unsurprisingly, this reply ignited Susanoo's fury.

"Shiva, I will definitely kill you!" Susanoo rushed out without thinking twice.

Yes, some geniuses, despite their seemingly high and mighty appearance, are actually terrible at math and don't know their own limitations.

He actually... he actually led his direct subordinate gods and a group of sea monsters, riding the giant waves to leave Izumo and head towards Malaya, a world that originally belonged to Japan...

All of this happened so fast that Amaterasu received the news even later than Towns.

Towns was stunned when he received the message through the Heroic Spy.

Unlike Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, Susanoo married a mortal woman, and many mortals also inhabited his earthly divine realm in Izumo. The spy's infiltration was quite successful.

But when the news reached the Silver Palace, for some reason, Towns had a strange feeling of watching a Japanese NTR (Netorare) adult film.

Towns hadn't grasped the implications from the spy's report that Susanoo's wife had been abducted. But when the name Angela Newman inadvertently reached him, Towns' heart skipped a beat.
