Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 404 'The New God'

The Great Hall of the Silver Palace in Asgard.

Hundreds and thousands of mental projections acted like screens, broadcasting the battle situation.

Real-time battle updates don't exist; only when the spatial cavity returns and the victor holds up the enemy's head will victory be truly counted.

During this period, there were many who went to the other side and then disappeared without a trace. If they didn't see someone for a day, they were assumed to have been defeated and died. It was very rare for a game to last for three days and three nights.

"Hmm?" Downs gave a soft hum, immediately attracting the attention of the core deities.

Catherine: "Father, have you discovered something?"

Towns didn't answer directly: "Has anyone discovered it?"

Loki raised his hand first, followed by Enki, Hela, and Gilgamesh.

Loki said first, "There are many more 'new gods' in Greece."

This is a consensus.

A large number of divine creatures that could be described as monsters appeared in the opponent's battle formation. If it weren't for the extremely concentrated divine power or fragments of divinity, they would generally be regarded as monsters that had plundered divinity, or divine abominations of a higher level.

Enki nodded: "Their divinity is beyond doubt. They are true gods, just a little crooked."

Indeed, it's hard to call a deep-sea giant like Polyphemus, whose attributes have completely shifted from water to earth, a god.

Hela rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought: "Could it be that the other side has also realized the importance of reserve forces? This doesn't seem like the work of the previous commander."

Towns' words sealed the deal: "Most likely... Zeus has returned."

Towns guessed right.

No matter how clever or how strong Athena's judgment was, she was ultimately not the true leader.

She couldn't give a direct order to a god-king of the same level, let alone touch their core interests.

The only one capable of ruthlessly conveying decrees and effortlessly slaughtering an entire pantheon is Zeus, the god-emperor!
The Temple of Zeus at Olympus.

Between each of the massive, nine-story-high vertical columns, an exaggerated divine aura emanates.

Despite the absence of sound, one could sense countless bolts of lightning flashing, causing a violent roar.

The twelve Olympian gods gathered together for the rare occasion of all, all for the sake of the rugged, white-haired god who sat on the throne of the supreme god-emperor.

Judging by appearance alone, Zeus doesn't seem much different from an ordinary Greek old man, except that his white robe, draped diagonally from his shoulders to his waist, reveals large areas of powerful muscles, making him look quite imposing.

Only the immense divine power fluctuations, powerful enough to easily destroy an entire realm, told all beings within the temple that his authority could not be desecrated or challenged.

At this very moment, he was also paying close attention to the battle on the front lines.

The booming thunder blended with his voice, making every syllable sound incredibly powerful.

Zeus remarked, "Those Aesir gods seem to have quite a few deities."

Ares scoffed: "They're nothing but foam on the waves. Let me strike, and watch me slaughter those savage gods."

Athena rolled her eyes at Ares. In the past, she would have absolutely roasted Ares until he was helpless. Ares had never won a verbal battle against Athena.

Unfortunately, she didn't do a very good job as the acting God-Emperor a while ago.

Losing three subsidiary worlds is an absolutely unacceptable achievement.

Zeus's decision not to strip her of some of her divine duties as punishment was already a lenient one.

Athena remained silent.

Poseidon, on the other hand, seemed a little agitated: "Those despicable mortals actually used divine weapons to plot against my children!" Both Zeus and Poseidon were prolific philanderers among the gods. Their tastes were truly indescribable; generally speaking, Zeus's taste was slightly more normal, at least his offspring were more handsome. Poseidon, however, was indiscriminate in his choice of children, regardless of gender.

When Zeus's child was in trouble, he remained unmoved.

Poseidon's child was in trouble, and he was truly enraged and came to his door!
The problem is that his divine power only applies to Greece and its twelve subordinate worlds.

Outside of this area, who would take you, Poseidon, seriously?

Unfortunately, Zeus went missing while out having fun and was found by Hermes. The first thing he did was to mobilize all available forces to fight against him.

Therefore, he didn't blame Athena at all, but simply nodded and said, "Now it's the God-Emperor's turn to perform his duties."

This is Zeus!
He may be unreliable 99% of the time in his life, but he is absolutely clear-headed when it comes to matters of principle!

It's like tracing back to the Titanomachy, where he, along with his brothers and a host of gods from the third generation, clashed with his father's second generation of gods in a war that changed the fate of the entire Greek world. In that war, Zeus almost lost. However, he didn't hesitate to unleash three hundred-handed giants who deeply hated his father Cronus, and with the power of thunder, he defeated the twelve Titans.

His keen sense of war was one of the reasons why the gods obeyed him.

Now, he quickly discovered that Downs, through the hands of mortals, had begun to infiltrate and undermine the foundations of the Greek world's rule.

Sensing his brother Poseidon's anger, Zeus calmly said, "Your anxiety is useless. This is a war between two worlds. Save your divine power to deal with the enemy's king of the gods."

"Humph!"

This time, many of the Greek gods from the third tier have been deployed to the front lines.

Most of them are his direct descendants!
Besides Polyphemus, who had just been killed by Galahad, Poseidon's daughters were also involved in the war.

It would be strange if Poseidon, who was obsessed with his son and daughter, wasn't nervous.

Ideally, a group of third-rate Greek gods would unleash their power, utterly destroying the divine avatars and heroes sent from the other side.

Ideals are wonderful, but reality is harsh.

As familiar auras disappeared from Poseidon's perception, and looking at the gradually honeycomb-like world of Kushitic, even a fool would know what had happened!
The first reaction of the twelve Olympian gods was unanimous—Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

However, every patient who is terminally ill reacts similarly when told about their condition by the doctor.

At first, I couldn't believe it, and I desperately tried to convince myself with my emotions.

Then I began to accept reality.

Ultimately, this often leads to an emotional breakdown...

Before long, a new intelligence report was sent up.

Athena stared blankly at the tube, then presented it to Zeus.

"Father God, you'd better take a look at this!"

"This is……"

"It was sent by Doris."

Doris is one of the so-called three thousand sea goddesses. This is true of any divine office; when many beings hold the same office, their divine power inevitably diminishes.

As the lowest-ranking deity, the ocean goddess was actually not much different in status from the nymph goddesses.

Therefore, they often encounter mortal warriors from the Aesir.

What was presented was, naturally, a tube that Thor had personally crafted.
