Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 446 Everything is under our brothers' control

“Indeed, everything is going according to Your Majesty’s plan!” The old Mayan gods, led by Apche, all knelt down in worship.

They were completely convinced by this bow.

"No need for formalities. Those who have survived to this day are all my right-hand men; no need for so much formality." Odin lowered his stance to appease these last remaining divine lackeys: "Alas! My elder brother Downs gave me many opportunities. Unfortunately, I was young and ignorant before, and I was determined to be independent. It wasn't until the destruction of Lilanka that I realized that there is no longer any space for independent small worlds to exist in this universe."

The gods fell silent and continued to listen to Odin's teachings.

Odin continued, "I know some of you might still think this is a coincidence. But how many coincidences are there in the universe? Especially at the time of a clash between the pinnacles of two pantheons. It was all a scheme by His Majesty Downs!"

Apche and the others prayed again.

They truly couldn't find a way to refute Odin's statement.

They were imprisoned in Tartarus with Odin for refusing to become slave gods. How could Odin possibly break free of his divine powers and seduce Cronus, the former Olympian king who had a grudge against Zeus?
Forget about flirting; the steel pillar of destiny that followed was the key to unlocking the shackles.

At this point, Odin could have taken advantage of Ginnendra's massive attack to unleash the Titans and launch a massive attack, severely damaging Zeus's defenses.

At least this vented his anger, but it had nothing to do with those unlucky guys like Apuch.

They remain those damned prisoners, awaiting their fate. If Zeus is not killed, the day he returns to Tartarus will be their doom.

To escalate the situation further and create something even bigger, more specialized resources would be needed.

Apche never expected that Towns's considerations were so thorough that he actually succeeded.

Aside from Apche himself, few other members of the Mayan pantheon knew that Odin possessed the power of death magic. According to Odin, it was likely only his elder brother who knew.

Originally, Odin's talent for the divine office of "death" was useless; as an imprisoned Outer God, he had no chance of competing with the native God of Death for the divine office.

What do you mean by coincidence?
Thanatos, the true god of death on Olympus, has fallen!
Without Thanatos, Odin and Apuch had an opportunity to exploit the situation.

If an opportunity isn't translated into real ability, it's nothing more than a hope that can never be reached.

Who would have thought that Zeus would be so foolish as to send the souls of Greek slaves and invaders to Tartarus?
Sending away souls is bad enough, but the souls they sent were all originally Mayans and Indians.

It would be strange if Odin and Apche didn't have wild fantasies.

In their eyes, Towns wasn't just hinting, he was making a direct statement!

Even if these Maya were the third or fourth generation after being subjugated by the Aesir, transformed from slaves into free people, would Apche not recognize the race of his own followers?

Not to mention the Indians, Odin was the god-king of the Sri Lankan world for so long, and all the believers he controlled were Dalits captured from India.

So many cannon fodder were thrown into the Greek world, killed, and sent to Tartarus... Odin and Apuch felt that all their struggles were just part of the great god-emperor Downs's game of imprisonment.

Downs, remembering past favors, might reward Odin with the title of God-King.

Odin, unwilling to be a subordinate, messed things up and was dragged into the hell of the Greek world, but Downs can still rescue him.

Don't underestimate this divine power supply.

Having divine power and not having divine power are two completely different things in the eyes of Cronus, the former king of the gods who is also bitter, mean and extremely selfish.

Even if Odin were to release Cronus and the Titans, Cronus would not be grateful to Odin in the slightest.

It's very simple. Just as humans wouldn't negotiate with a lobster king but only want to eat it, would the self-proclaimed noble Titans look down on a mere soul without divine power? Having divine power, and quite powerful divine power at that, would definitely make Cronus look at him differently.

Moreover, Apche and Odin did a very ruthless job.

They didn't simply draw upon the faith of believers; instead, they directly devoured souls and transformed them into divine power, making them many times more efficient.

Living believers pray daily, and only a small portion of their spiritual energy is transformed into the power of faith to supply the divine. Even the most fanatical believer's capacity to supply the divine power cannot surpass that of a soul that has undergone complete transformation.

In a way, Odin and his companion were playing the classic game of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs!

Devouring souls is a rather uncouth act, yet it allows them to rapidly replenish their divine power in a very short time. Moreover, these souls don't belong to their followers and are already dead, making them a classic example of a superior dessert from the same source and lineage.

Half a century has passed, and these Maya and Indian slaves have long since become the Neo-Kinlunga. In fact, Downs doesn't care about the life or death of these Maya and Indian slave descendants, and coincidentally, Odin doesn't care either.

In Odin's eyes, this was a big gift from his elder brother, a gift that allowed them to turn the tide.

They accepted the gift with genuine gratitude, tears streaming down their faces, their hearts filled with joy.

Moreover, Odin encountered a huge bug.

Despite what they're doing in Tartarus, Hades is genuinely unaware.

After all, Tartarus was an ancient god. Although he had been dormant for a long time and had taken on the task of imprisoning the previous god-kings and a host of Titans, Hades really dared not extend his divine domain into the hell of Tartarus.

Sending some jailers is fine, but the three great judges wouldn't dare to go.

Ultimately, the three hundred-armed giants are still the leaders here.

What's even more remarkable is that the Hundred-Handed Giants also don't care about mortal souls; their minds are filled with hatred, and their focus is always on Cronus.

If Odin and the others knew that all of this was unintentional on the part of Downs, they probably wouldn't believe it themselves.

Driven by this very force, [Fate] has reached a peculiar point of divergence.

On this day, Odin visited Cronus's prison again.

His appearance stunned the former god-king.

"Odin, you... have regained your divine power?" The former Titan king stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“Of course!” Odin feigned disdain: “I’ve said it before, the whole situation is under the control of my brothers.”

Cronus was still somewhat skeptical: "Didn't Zeus imprison your soul?"

Odin remained unfazed: "That was my soul as the King of Rilanka, a soul inherently mixed with a vast amount of chaotic power. This is my original [Soul of the King of Aesir]!"

"Hiss!" Kronos gasped.

Can you even play with the soul like this?
And your attribute has actually changed to "Death"?

This god-king from another realm is truly powerful!
