Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 419 A bond forged across the seas, a score of 6 to 0 at the ends of the earth.

Hades, god of the underworld!
He didn't simply distribute the statues of the twelve Olympian gods as a kind of divine king after the Greek world conquered many worlds.

From the day Zeus defeated Cronus and secured his throne as the king of the gods in the Greek world, Hades has been the king of the underworld.

Unlike his two unreliable brothers who spread their seed all over the world, Hades was a kind-hearted man.

He is calm and composed in his actions, and his performance is like a pillar of stability and a ballast stone in the Three Generations of Gods.

There's even a saying that without Zeus and Poseidon, Olympus would have had two-thirds less trouble.

Of the three gods, Hades' existence has played an indispensable role in maintaining the stability of the world.

Even Hades, who is usually like this, was unusually flustered today.

A strong tremor ran through Hades' soul, and he suddenly felt a pang of anxiety.

Not only him, but also Thanatos's brother, Hypnos, the god of sleep, felt it.

Hypnos stumbled into Hades' palace. Master and servant exchanged a glance and asked the same question: "Thanatos has fallen?"

Sometimes, the question is the answer!

The master and servant fell into a long silence.

Hades asked slowly, "Why did he go and kill them?"

"I do not know."

Even twins sometimes can't understand each other's thoughts.

Hades said in a deep voice, "Hypnos, I don't care what you're thinking. If you want revenge, please consider the timing carefully!"

You can't press it down!
Even the Zeus family, with its most chaotic and antagonistic family relationships, could not forgive the murder of their brother.

In the Greek pantheon, relationships within the same generation are often closer than those with elders.

At least we both went through the same ordeal and suffered together.

The same applies to Zeus. If you told Zeus that his son had died, he might not care. But if his siblings died, Zeus would definitely be furious.

Hypnos responded to Hades's command with a long silence.

Hypnos even imagined how furious his mother, Nyx, the goddess of night, would be.

Nyx was one of the oldest gods in the Greek world. She was the daughter of Chaos, the god of chaos, and gave birth to a large number of gods, almost all of whom were evil and wicked gods who were not well-liked by the world.

Without a doubt, Thanatos's fall will definitely put the goddess of night at odds with the Aesir.

On the other hand, when Scáthach returned to the Silver Palace with Thanatos's soul crystal, Bridget, one of the six God-Kings, was somewhat frightened.

"Mother Goddess, you shouldn't have gone into battle yourself."

Looking at her daughter, whose personality was nothing like her own, Scáthach sighed, "Winning is all that matters. I have thought about being defeated. But after all these years, the only one who can truly defeat me is your father."

“Uh,” Bridget hesitated, unsure what to say.

His own mother had a strange tendency to self-destruct, yet she was always subdued by God the Father.

Scáthach walked into the back hall with her spear and found that Downs hadn't even looked up.

"Even my daughter is concerned about me, how can you be so calm?"

Towns laughed: "I even gave you Gungnir, the spear of the former god-king Odin. If you still can't win, whose fault is it?"

Scáthach raised her purple eyebrows and blinked. "That's true."

The Aesir have a recorded number of over a thousand deities.

Those qualified to touch a God-King level artifact are truly one in a hundred. Let alone the minor gods who can only stand in the corner during grand meetings in the Golden Palace, even the six God-Kings themselves might not possess a God-King level weapon. There are countless gods in this world who wield guns, yet Downs gave [Gungnir] to Scáthach; it's undeniable that there was an element of favoritism involved.

There was a peculiar calm and tacit understanding between them.

Bridget came running in, eager to speak with her mother, but the Valkyrie began closing the palace gates. She was left disappointed and kicked out.

The first round of intense battles at the God-level lasted for a week.

In fact, both sides had their victories and defeats.

On the first day, apart from Arjuna and Ragnaros killing two sea goddesses and Scáthach defeating Thanatos, the entire Aesir seemed to be at odds with the goddess of night.

The next important kills all involved Nyx's children, including the following:
Beowulf kills Morpheus, the god of mockery!
The restless Ishtar slays the demon god Ceres!
Galahad, the purest knight, slays Philotes, the god of lust!

It can be said that the Aesir defeated Olympus 6-0.

It's important to know that none of the gods that Downs sent out belonged to the ancient version of the Aesir.

In the eyes of the old-school Assassin, this was a case of his inferior horse defeating someone else's middle-class horse.

This is certainly something to celebrate.

Thor has already led the way to have a blast at the Palace of Pleasure.

When this battle report reached Mount Olympus, Athena's expression was far from pleasant.

Six gods!

A blatant 6-0!
Even at its worst, it was still a legitimate Olympian god, a being whose name was recorded in mythology, and not on the same level as those slave gods who deserved to die.

This result made Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades furious.

Unexpectedly, Hera approached Athena.

"Great Queen, what brings you here?"

"Is the performance at the front really this bad?" The beautiful goddess frowned. "This battle report from our divine race won't appease those subordinate gods!"

appease?

Shouldn't they be suppressing them?
Athena saw through it but didn't say anything.

She never advocated for the harsh oppression of the gods in the conquered pantheons, and back then, not a single chief god listened to her. Perhaps they did listen, but they couldn't very well oppose the chief gods like Ares, who had the loudest voices.

This excessive exploitation directly resulted in the deities in the subordinate pantheon not only lacking loyalty, but also objectively becoming incapable of fighting due to the excessive exploitation of their divine power.

Athena had gathered a great deal of intelligence on the Aesir, and she knew that their core, like her own, was centered around the 'Titan God'.

After playing for so long, the opposing team hasn't even fielded a single Titan.

This means that they fielded their main force and fought a back-and-forth battle with the opponent's vassal, even losing a relatively important secondary god like Thanatos, the god of death.

This is incredibly embarrassing!
However, Athena also had to deal with Hera's orders.

Those roughnecks can't do such skillful work.

Athena returned to her temple, summoned the goddess of victory, and informed her of Hera's command.

"This..." The goddess of victory was at a loss.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows what's going on, yet they insist on burying their heads in the sand like ostriches, pretending the enemy doesn't exist just because they can't see it? And they still want to promote a huge victory?
Seeing the goddess of victory in a dilemma, Athena sighed deeply.

"Forget it, we've killed quite a few of their subordinate gods too. Let's use that as an example!"

So Athena ordered her subordinates to bring ten worthless crystals of South Asian gods' divine power, and then a divine oracle came from Mount Olympus—to celebrate the victory in the divine war, Mount Olympus would hold a ten-day celebration ceremony.
