Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 417 Don't use your reason to judge a brute and a fool.
In fact, the attitudes of both sides towards their respective gods are the standard procedure.

The god-kings of both worlds are destined to be direct descendants of the emperor.

The situation was slightly better for the Aesir, as Downs was quite strict about promotions, insisting that military merit was the only way to advance. Even so, some of the leaders from other races, such as Frey (born of the Vanir), Arthur (a Celtic who became a god from a mortal), Enki (the brother of the former Sumerian god-king), Horus (of Egypt), and Beren (of the Slavs), managed to reach the level of chief gods.

The Greek gods, who were written as appendages and read as slaves, were truly miserable and never got their chance to rise in the world.

In reality, their strength was too weak, and their advancement was hopeless. Therefore, their attitude was similar to that of the South Asian gods on Tang Si's side—the Aesir and the Olympian gods should just fight each other directly, preferably to the point of mutual destruction, which would bring peace to the universe, or rather, usher in a new era of chaos. Instead of the current two-way power struggle, with no independent living space for the minor gods.

Towns had Brunhilde write down the South Asian gods' tendency to tank.

It's not that the time for non-reporting has not arrived!
If he can defeat the Olympian pantheon this time, Downs will most likely not be able to wipe them out as he did with the Fusang and Hindu gods.

When the opposing world is larger than one's own, and its gods have completely merged with that world, annihilation is extremely difficult. This requires a crucial prerequisite: properly dealing with all the opposing gods who can act. Only then can one contend with Uranus and Gaia. The process may even involve considerable deception and coercion to meticulously dismember this original divine couple, ultimately allowing the world of Kinlunga to successfully devour and assimilate them.

During this process, no other world or race of gods of similar size to the Greek world can be allowed to disrupt things.

Therefore, Downs needs to be prepared to accept some Greek gods into the Aesir.

In a pantheon, there are only so many top-tier positions.

Within a fixed category, if one becomes the chief god, another of the same kind must become a subordinate god. Regardless of strength, the one who arrives later will inevitably become a junior.

Downs carefully recalled his descriptions of the various gods in the Greek pantheon, and basically had a plan of who to kill and who to spare.

As for those weakling gods from South Asia who were deliberately spared instead of being killed off in the past, let fate decide!
We always need to leave room for the atmosphere team, right?

What surprised Towns, yet wasn't entirely unexpected, was that those guys were really willing to fight to the death!
There were 42 South Asian gods who went with Ramses, Arjuna, and other mortal warriors who were deified. They went there in their original forms, so it's unknown how many of them will survive.

Besides these, the only truly heavyweight force coming from Greece so far is Thanatos!
Correct!
Thanatos, the god of death!

Unlike the sea goddesses whose territories were only a small area of ​​the sea that Rahu and Arjuna destroyed.

This one is truly a heavyweight!
As is widely known, Hades, the god of the underworld, is the ruler of the Greek underworld.

In reality, most affairs of the Greek underworld were managed by other gods. Persephone oversaw ghost sacrifices, Death and Hypnos handled corpses, and the three judges, sent by Zeus, adjudicated cases or reported to Zeus, the king of the gods. Hades managed fewer affairs; he was generally regarded by the ancient Greeks as the personification of the underworld and its god.

Thanatos, the god of death, was a powerful deity in the underworld—he, like his twin brother Hypnos, the god of sleep, was born of Nyx, the goddess of night.

Thanatos is often seen as the symbol of death. It is said that Thanatos appears when people are dying; he first cuts off a small piece of the deceased's hair and presents it to Hades, the god of the underworld, before guiding the soul of the deceased into the underworld.

Logically speaking, a Greek god whose strength is comparable to that of the main god should not risk coming here to kill.

He did exactly that.

No one understood why he did this.

Towns admitted that after he slept with Ereshkigal and Scáthach, he casually shrugged off some of Hela's power through negotiation, giving it to his own girl. The gods of death and sleep he created were copied from Greek mythology. Now that Thanatos, the real protagonist, is coming after Scáthach, it seems understandable.

But this is enemy territory! It's Helheim, the underworld of Kinlunga!
You Thanatos, is that how you got here?
Towns just couldn't figure it out!

This is as incomprehensible as the Indian mindset of smearing cow dung on walls. If you try to understand it, you'll only lower your IQ to their level, and then they'll defeat you using their familiar matchmaking system.

If Thanatos comes, he can't stop him either!
King against king, general against general!

Such a challenge is something no other god is qualified to participate in unless all the gods of their own kind perish, their divine authority is transferred to a god-king or god-emperor, and they have to personally condescend to take action.

Kinlunga Helheim, the Underworld!
The gray fog condensed into rust-colored ice crystals, which fell softly onto the frozen surface of the River Styx.

Thanatos thus flew across the River Styx and landed on the opposite bank, which was littered with withered bones.

What is a situation where every step is like walking on torture instruments for an ordinary soul is nothing to Thanatos.

Whether it was the distant growl of Garm the hellhound, the black stone ground like a mountain of knives, or the water ghost tearing at the frosty rocks on the riverbank with its pale arms, the crisp sound of its nails breaking mixed with the eerie wind swirling in its ears, nothing could affect a true Grim Reaper.

The only thing that surprised Thanatos was that when the gates of the underworld burst open, a purple-haired female grim reaper with a cold aura and wielding two divine spears walked out!
Female Death? !

Thanatos gently placed his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and introduced himself:

"I am Thanatos, the Greek god of death!"

"I am Scáthach, the female death goddess of the Aesir!" Immediately, the purple-haired female death goddess opposite her waved her right hand, and the sharp divine spear in her hand easily drew a clear horizontal line on the ground—she was declaring her territory with her actions.

"The universe is vast, but there should only be one Lord of the Underworld, one God of Death!" Thanatos's handsome face, which was quite pleasing to the eye, was expressionless, and his muscles seemed to be completely stiff.

Scáthach said calmly, "I agree!"

But the divine spear she held level was a testament to her attitude!

"As expected, this primal god, who came from some unknown corner of the universe, can only understand the voice of divine power!"

"I almost wish you would actually kill me." A long-dormant fighting spirit surged within Scáthach. Even as a mother, Scáthach's innate fighting instincts had not been extinguished.

With a flick of her left hand, Helheim's aura began to recede rapidly.

This surprised Thanatos quite a bit.

This means that the female Grim Reaper refused to use her home advantage and instead fought him using only her divine power and skills!
