Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 450 [Operation Overthrow the Sea]

Find wealth in danger!
This applies equally to the realm of gods!

Even though Downs never promised or hinted at whether the new gods were qualified to challenge for the throne of the gods, that did not stop them from being extremely enthusiastic.

Battle merits are the only way for a new god to advance. Any new god who still has a shred of hope will not choose to give up.

Besides, making a decision when the outcome is uncertain is difficult, and now that we see the light of victory, anyone who still doesn't place a bet is an idiot!
At this moment, not only veteran warriors like Thor, but even the South Asian god whom Towns despised the most was eagerly raising his hand to apply to be the vanguard.

Towns saw it, but ignored these noobs.

He continued, “Battles at the level of god-kings will become the norm. I still maintain that the Olympian pantheon is a powerful adversary capable of rivaling the Aesir. Do not harbor any illusions that you can defeat the Olympian gods in one fell swoop.”

Downs paused here, then turned his gaze to Enki, the god of the sea and wisdom.

“Your subject is here.” Enki obediently stepped forward.

“Zeus’s power wasn’t solely due to himself. His brothers Hades and Poseidon also deserve serious consideration.” Enki understood perfectly well when Towns said this.

Hades will be difficult to deal with in the short term. With so many deaths in the Greek world, no matter what happens to people in the future, at least in the short term, Hades, who relies on death as the source of his divine power, will not lack divine power.

Towns mentioned Poseidon, so Enki, the "god of the sea," naturally couldn't be left out.

"I will fight with all my might to defeat Poseidon." This wasn't Enki boasting. In the old Sumerian pantheon, aside from the former wind god-king Enlil, Enki's strength was among the best in all of Sumer.

Especially after the ocean under his jurisdiction grew larger and larger with the successive victories of the Aesir, his divine power was more than ten times stronger than before.
He certainly doesn't control as much of the ocean as Poseidon, but the ocean territories he directly governs are no less than Poseidon's.

Unexpectedly, Towns shook his head at his bold statement: "No, some things are not enough to just 'try your best'."

One sentence completely stumped Enki.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my ignorance, I do not understand Your Majesty's meaning." Even Enki, a recognized sage, called himself dull, and the other gods basically could not keep up with Downs's thinking.

Instead of answering directly, Towns chose to demonstrate via mind projection:

"This is the sea, this is also the sea, and this is still the sea!"

Three-dimensional miniature models of the Kinlunga worlds appeared in Downs' hands, first Vanaheim, then several seas near Midgard, then the Celtic world, the Sumerian world, and the seas of several subsequently conquered worlds.

Although after Jinlunga devoured these worlds, and each of these seas was merged into the Jinlunga world, the old gods would remember whose ocean it was.

Downs continued, "Legend has it that Poseidon ruled over seven sea kingdoms, such as the Trench Kingdom and the Fishermen's Kingdom. What if Poseidon's ocean was divided into smaller, isolated worlds? Would he still possess so much divine power?"

"Hiss!" Enki and the gods alike gasped in shock, finally realizing what Downs was up to.

Enki's voice trembled: "Your Majesty, you intend to drain Poseidon's seven seas? But where will all that seawater be discharged?"

Previously, the Aesir had basically figured out the structure of the Greek world and knew how enormous Atlantis was.

The ocean covers an area of ​​more than 70 million square kilometers, and most of it is deep-sea. The amount of water involved is far more than just astronomical.
Enki and his friends thought it was an exaggeration just by imagining it.

This is why Poseidon was said to have raised three thousand sea goddesses.

It must be admitted that Poseidon's territory was truly vast. Similarly, such a massive amount of seawater wouldn't simply vanish into thin air. It's not like if Downs threw a few more suns into the Greek world, it would evaporate nearly 80 million square kilometers of seawater, would it?
Where the seawater will be discharged is the question!
Now that things have come to this point, anyone with a bit of imagination knows which family is the unlucky one.

First, Amaterasu sighed softly, and then Peren, who had just taken over the world of Sri Lanka, looked bewildered.

Next was Tyre: "Indeed, His Majesty's previous pursuit of killing the slave gods of the Greek world was not without reason."

The Olympian gods forced the slave gods to consume the Aesir, and the consequences were obvious: a large number of slave gods in the subordinate worlds perished. This also led to a decline in their control over the subordinate worlds.

Having discussed the matter to this point, everyone understood that the key to this operation actually lay with the two sides' "Sky Gods".

If their own sky god is capable and guards the spatial barrier, then even diverting the seawater will not be an easy task.

Unfortunately, the sky happened to be one of the Olympian gods' Achilles' heel.

Uranus, the Greek god of the sky and the first king of the gods, had a very low opinion of Zeus!
It is foreseeable that if Downs diverts the seawater of Atlantis by building a spatial tunnel, Uranus will definitely pretend not to see it.

And the Sky God on Jinlunga's side is Towns himself!

This is yet another openly deceptive scheme with no solution!

Upon hearing this, Artemis covered her mouth, mourning for Poseidon.

If the seven seas of Atlantis were truly dismantled, Poseidon would immediately fall from a top-tier god-king to a chief god, or even just an ordinary god.

This is like cutting off Zeus's arm on a strategic level.

When Downs announced his plan, all the gods associated with the sea were immediately intrigued.

"Enki, organize the water-related deities to coordinate with my actions."

“Yes!” Enki’s gaze swept across the scene, and the first thing that caught his eye was the Lake Nymph, who was of Celtic origin. No, she was now the Goddess of the Lake.

The god of lakes is no match for the god of the sea.

This former lake fairy wouldn't mind taking her divine position up another level.

Every single one of them, whether they are well-known water deities within the Aesir or simply chosen from among the South Asian gods, can greatly alleviate the pressure on Downs during his "Operation Overturn the Seas".

Hela stepped forward and said excitedly, "Your Majesty, even without the most troublesome Poseidon, I am confident that I can lead the gods of Helheim to defeat Hades!"

Hela's statement was not unfounded.

[Death] Sees the world in the same way, no, it is the size of the dead.

The more fallen deities' souls are imprisoned in Helheim, and the more mortal souls reside there, the stronger the divine power of Hela and other death-related deities becomes.

The world of Jinlunga has a large population and many deaths. In terms of sheer size, Hades is passable in the short term, but if the war drags on, he will not be a match for Hela.
