Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 405 Total War

Zeus raised his hand, and a beam of seemingly powerful but actually harmless electric light enveloped the cylinder that shared the same element as him.

Zeus expanded his senses, and even his white hair and beard danced wildly in the raging winds created by his divine power.

His deep eyes were filled with lightning.

After carefully analyzing the tube, Zeus hesitated for a moment and then casually tossed it aside.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

A crisp metallic clanging sound echoed through the vast temple.

No deity picked it up.

With a scan of the tube, one can roughly understand what's going on with a bit of divine sense.

Appearance and usage are not important!

In reality, it was just that the opposing god-king level guy, who had nothing better to do, created a one-time divine power talisman for mortals that was enough to threaten a true god.

What's outrageous is that there really is a god-king who would lower himself to create such a thing.

This has a very high barrier to entry. First, you must be a God-King; second, you must be willing to pay a divine power that would make even ordinary gods envious; and finally, you must have a divine power technique that can be used to pour out elements in a targeted manner.

Everything is simple and straightforward, but the difficulty lies in—you actually expect a god-king to promote a mortal in this way?
Let alone mortal heroes who are not related by blood, even if it were their own son, many god-kings would be reluctant to part with him.

Even Poseidon, a man obsessed with his children, felt a pang of heartache looking at this thing.

Thor actually wants to play this game?
Unbeknownst to them, the names Thor, Anubis, and others were memorized by Zeus and his companions.

At the scene, among the twelve god-kings, only Artemis didn't care about this. The goddess of the hunt was preoccupied with the bastard giant [Tons] who had used her chosen ones to give her such a profound spiritual shock!
Artemis was eager for revenge, but she knew very well that it was not the right time for her to take action.

The two world clusters are now attacking each other through a small spatial gap. Although they have reached the point where they can deploy divine avatars or the main bodies of ninth-rate gods, it is still not enough to support a battle at the level of a god-king, let alone a god-emperor.

“I will endure this! One day, I will trample you under my feet! Towns Paulson!” Artemis cursed viciously.

The coming days can be considered both the best and worst time for mortal heroes to transcend the mortal realm and enter the divine realm.

Even with the support of the three Aesir god-kings' one-time artifacts, the gap in their domains still caused many mortal heroes who attempted to ascend to the top to their deaths on the spot.

This is the stage for the strong!

This is the graveyard of the weak!

This is a paradise for the lucky!

This is the end for the unfortunate!

In the world of Jinlunga, following the previous batch of five people who were granted godhood, a second list of gods has been freshly released.

A total of eleven new gods were added, including Galahad, Bose, Bedivere, Hassan, and Tutankhamun.

Undisputedly, Arthur, the God of Knights, was the biggest winner, as a total of five knights under his command entered the realm of the gods.

Even though he was unlikely to become a god-king due to his background, the fact that so many true gods had emerged under his command gave him a strange title like 'principal' or 'mentor'.

In an instant, congratulatory voices were heard everywhere!
The five knights were assigned to different god-kings, resulting in the amazing scene of all five god-kings (including Thor) congratulating him.

Based on his status as a "divine master," Arthur could have acted with impunity within the Aesir pantheon as long as it remained powerful, unless he rebelled. Unfortunately, only a minority were ultimately deified.

As the saying goes, "One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand," and the same applies to the realm of gods.

Aside from a few who were fully aware of their own strength and chose to quit while they were ahead and return to their hometowns to live the life of wealthy men, most ordinary heroes died in the warm-up phase of this divine war. The lowest-level heroes, who were said to be "strong enough to kill a lion," had a staggering 99.9% chance of dying!

Unfortunately, most ordinary heroes lack that wisdom.

Time and again they threw themselves into the spatial cavity, launching fierce attacks against the unknown enemy of their destiny. But how many of them could break free from their fate, escape the prison called "Mortal World," and truly ascend to a higher dimension?
There really aren't many.

On the other hand, given the vast population of the Jinlunga world and the abundant elemental power throughout it, mortal heroes wielding extraordinary powers continue to emerge like mushrooms after rain, largely filling the void left by those who died in battle.

This was actually something Towns did intentionally.

Simply put, he told Jinlunga, "This is our decisive battle. If we don't release the world's essence now to encourage extraordinary individuals, are we going to wait until a global crisis occurs before urgently summoning mortal heroes?"

The world's will is in complete agreement.

Along the way, it had seen many worlds with slow-moving wills. By the time Downs led the gods to wipe out all the gods of the other world with thunderous force, it was too late for that world to retaliate and save itself.

That's why it seems like there's a lot of talent emerging in the world of Kinlunga lately.

In any case, with the Greek gods now entering the fray, even though the world of Kushitic was ravaged and riddled with holes by the spatial cavity, it was still slightly better than the previous three subordinate worlds.

At least, they didn't collapse.

With the battle over, Athena breathed a sigh of relief: "At least we held on!"

In the temple on Mount Olympus, the other gods reacted differently.

A series of small-scale battles went against the Greek pantheon, which made the kind-hearted gods like Hestia uneasy.

Of course, someone like Ares, who's a bit dim-witted, will remain incredibly stubborn until the very last moment, constantly clamoring that "once I take action myself, I'll cut off that self-proclaimed God-Emperor's head and use it as a chamber pot."

As children of Zeus, the difference in their intelligence is so vast that it truly shames Athena.

This star field seemed to have given the two world clusters no time to heal or regroup. After this round of fighting, an anomaly occurred!
In the Silver Palace.

"Your Majesty! Something's wrong!" Ishtar was the first to notice the problem.

The world outside was completely different from what they had previously investigated.

The space of this universe seems to be distorted.

When there are mutated star regions blocking the way, the contact area between the two sides is quite limited.

As long as there is a small world blocking the way, there is almost no possibility of directly attacking the other world.

As the fighting continued, it felt like a proxy war was being waged between the two sides.

Both sides send out their own underlings to fight, and the outcome will not affect the boss in the slightest.

What now?
Looking up from Asgard, the highest level of the Kinlungar world, one is astonished to find the sky above the Greek world. Conversely, looking down from Helheim, the lower level, one can see the Greek hell of Tartarus. Looking in any of the four cardinal directions (east, west, south, and north), one can see the Greek world in all directions.

It's like two square worlds turning from three-dimensional to two-dimensional, with your own top, bottom, left, right, front, and back completely aligned with the enemy's.
