Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 366 The Universe is Vast
In the past, only a small number of gods in the chaotic universe possessed combat abilities.

Most deities have poor perception in areas with high chaotic energy, especially those related to the earth element. In such situations, they are completely helpless and useless except for being able to withstand attacks.

That's different now.

This pristine airspace is practically the perfect battlefield for the gods of order.

Not only will the divine magic that is launched not be significantly deflected or dissipated due to the interference of chaotic energy, but it can also continuously draw divine power from its own world to fight to its heart's content.

Even the seemingly slow-witted earth-based deities can still fight to their hearts' content in this star field thanks to their relatively powerful divine bodies.

When Sri Lanka faced this minor pantheon, whether in terms of the number and quality of its deities or the world behind them, it was an absolute crushing defeat.

Almost instantly, the Polynesian deity's avatars were all killed.

What surprised them even more was that the opposing deity's avatar recklessly invaded their world.

What was most unexpected was that their main bodies couldn't defeat the other party's clones.

In less than two hours, a new speedrun record was set.

Odin watched as Apche and the other gods captured the entire family of eleven minor gods across the river using only their clones.

"Your Majesty, we also made a raid." Apche grinned from ear to ear.

Robbery elements and such, it seems like that's become their old specialty.

This scene caused Odin's lips to twitch slightly. Years ago, he led them on a raid in the Indian subcontinent, and they'd all become skilled operators. Before Odin even gave the order, these guys had somehow managed to carve out several small islands, along with the surrounding water and air barriers, by exploiting the size of the openings in each other's mutated star sectors.

It's not a huge amount, but it will at least increase the total size of the Sri Lankan world by 7%.

In any case, the first battle was a success.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with these spirit possessions?" Apche's eyes flashed with cruelty.

None of the gods from the Maya were benevolent.

Odin feigned seriousness: "Interrogate them about the secrets of the other's pantheon. See if they cooperate. If they don't, I'll allow you to suffer a maximum loss of half your resources."

When it comes to torture and enslavement, Death Apche is a professional.

Odin gave them at most half of the gods, and their swordsmanship would certainly be very precise, giving him a perfect excuse to kill half of them.

Torture and kill prisoners? Isn't that easy?
You won't talk? You deserve to die!

Your speech was unclear when you confessed? That must mean you were trying to lie, you deserve to die!

Your information about Zeus is incomplete, which is disrespectful to our god-king Odin. You deserve to die!

Not long after, a 300-page statement was placed on Odin's desk.

The contents were so detailed that even the deepest secrets between the spirits during their séances were interrogated.

Odin was very satisfied.

He went to sleep that night.

then……

Downs dreamt about it. The moment he awoke, he startled Shiva and Maeve, who were serving him nearby.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Towns couldn't help but smile: "No, the [prophecy] has predicted something good."

In recent years, there has been no more summoning of the gods in the middle of the night.

Even though Downs only summoned the core gods and six god-kings, the commotion still alarmed many deities. They all inquired about the news.

"Have we finally met the enemy?" Thor asked the question everyone wanted to know most in the brightly lit Silver Palace.

“That’s right.” Towns’ mind shifted, and a mental projection was released.

What appeared in the air above the main hall was a star map stretching millions of kilometers ahead, as well as the enemy's world structure and even the composition of the gods within their pantheon.

These messages, which can be described as treasures of the world, were presented to the gods without reservation, so smoothly that onlookers instinctively thought they were false.

Hela stepped forward and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, was this foretold? Or..."

As everyone knows, Kraken, as an outpost, is only 100,000 kilometers ahead of the decoy world [Fusang], and still 500,000 kilometers away from our own world. Normally, it would be impossible for them to know the situation a million kilometers away, let alone discover the secrets of the opposing pantheon.

Downs didn't hide anything from everyone: "The old gods might know that I still have a connection of fate with my foolish brother Odin. Although it's been so long that I've almost forgotten about it, this time, I did receive a message from Odin. Whether it was his intention or not."

Towns first used Odin as a map explorer when he was spying on the Celtic world.

Firstly, it's too far in the past, and secondly, the gods currently listed either didn't join the Aesir or weren't even born yet.

Only the earliest deities will know.

Loki frowned, a rare occurrence for him: "Was Odin's action accidental, or did he do it on purpose?"

Donsto stroked his chin: "He did it on purpose, it was an accident."

This statement is quite thought-provoking.

Everyone fell silent.

Even the later new gods probably heard of the Ragnarok event, in which Odin instigated a conflict that nearly overthrew the rule of the Aesir gods.

Even though Downs never deliberately concealed the matter or erased Odin's deeds—for example, the depiction of the three Paulson brothers overturning Ymir, the progenitor of the frost, remains in the Golden Palace as the beginning of the Aesir's history—the new gods would still deliberately avoid the topic. At most, after becoming familiar with an old god, they might secretly ask a couple of questions while intoxicated.

This matter involves brothers killing each other, which is extremely taboo.

Everyone initially thought the matter would be laughed off and forgotten, but Thor stepped forward and asked, "Father, do you still believe in your second uncle?"

Thor's subtext is: Dad, don't fucking forgive Odin!
Downs wasn't annoyed and answered directly: "If there's no punishment for starting a rebellion, then anyone can rebel. Odin's sins are so grave that I have no intention of pardoning him."

When Downs said this, the gods secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Downs changed the subject: "Odin has already been killed by me once. Even his soul core was sealed in my Sword of Asgard. He escaped with less than a quarter of his soul remaining, and then merged with several other soul fragments. That Odin is no longer my brother. Of course, if he shows enough goodwill and value, I might spare him and his poor little pantheon."

“This…” Arthur, who hated evil as much as he was angry, subconsciously took a step forward, but then realized that his position was not quite right, so he shrank back.

Downs calmly swept his gaze across the gods: "The universe is vast. It might take ten thousand years to explore it completely. In this empty universe, unless there is a compelling reason for war, there is definitely room for multiple pantheons. Especially with a formidable enemy at hand, everyone must learn to grasp the main contradiction and figure out who the real enemy who threatens us is."
