Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 451 The Objectives of Both Sides

To reiterate, the number of people who die, and the quality of those who die, determines the divine power that the god of the underworld can obtain at that time of death.

Without the cycle of life and soul, this is just a one-off deal.

The number of deaths occurring in the Greek world determined the amplification and upper limit of Hades' divine power.

In this respect, the Greek world has almost no chance of catching up with the Ginnunga world. After all, the population of mortals is what it is. Unless the Olympian gods have the ability to abduct hundreds of millions of Ginnunga people and other creatures from the Ginnunga world, bring them to the Greek world, and kill them all, Hades is destined to be suppressed by Hela in most cases.

The total number of deaths in a world is a roughly constant number, determined by the number of living people.

The ocean is different.

Apart from the legendary Dead Sea, which is said to contain only water and no living creatures, most oceans themselves can provide the sea god with endless divine power.

Intelligent life forms are few in number in the ocean, and the divine power provided by low-intelligence beings is negligible, but their sheer numbers make up for it. For example, in Atlantis, the total number of tiny krill alone could reach tens of trillions, or even exceed one hundred million tons!

Krill serve as a staple food for most marine organisms and also sustain a large number of fish, thus completing the entire marine ecosystem.

The divine power that the entire Atlantis bestowed upon Poseidon was virtually limitless.

That's why Towns targeted Poseidon first.

After some discussion, the plan was basically finalized.

The rest is just filling in the gaps and making up for any omissions.

Downs glanced at the assembled god-kings: "After these battles, you should have a good idea of ​​your own strength. Since we will devise targeted tactics, the enemy will do the same. Badr, Bridget, and Ekaterina, the three of you will be responsible for the defense of the lower levels of Kinlunga. Don't go to the neutral areas."

Frigga hesitated, but seeing her weak son Badr looking relieved, she ultimately sighed and remained silent.

Her eldest son is such a disappointment. It's not that pure-blooded Aesir gods are bad; haven't you seen how Heimdall, with his even purer bloodline, is still quite formidable?
The other two goddesses had similar expressions.

Sometimes things are like that; you don't realize how weak you are until you get a good beating.

Bridget is somewhat better, at least she possesses god-level combat power. Catherine, however, is purely a commander-type, not suited for frontline combat. Towns kept the three siblings behind, taking advantage of home ground to allow their combat power to be utilized more effectively.

To Towns' surprise, both 'Doghead' and Enkidu also expressed their desire to stay.

Anubis's voice boomed: "Father! I am in charge of the judgment of Helheim, and I am better at law and protection. In neutral or hostile worlds, my divine power cannot be exerted. I request to stay here."

Enkidu gave a similar reason. But Downs knew that Enkidu was deliberately setting Gilgamesh aside. After all, the support from the Sumerian gods was limited; rather than having two people share aid and diluting resources, it was better to leave it for Gilgamesh alone!
This means that among the six God Kings, Gilgamesh is the one who stands out.

Fortunately, this is not a contest for the crown prince position. Even if Gilgamesh becomes the recognized strongest god-king, it will not affect the political situation of the Aesir. At most, it will just mean that the other branches of the gods will not be able to obtain more political resources.

Downs stared at Gilgamesh: "My son, you must be careful. Thor, Hela, and Tyr are all seasoned veterans. Among those of the same level, you are the weak point."

Gilgamesh said solemnly, "I implore my father to lend me two more World Swords during this great war."

“Okay.” Downs settled the matter with a single word. He thought for a moment, then said with a touch of mischievousness, “I’ve got it. I’ll give you a clergy position.”

"Huh?" Gilgamesh was stunned. Divine roles aren't something you can master at the last minute. Unfamiliar divine roles often have the opposite effect in battle.

"Don't worry, it will definitely suit you."

The Aesir were targeting one group, just like the Olympian gods. In the temple on the sacred mountain, the gods fiercely debated which Aesir king was weaker. After all, if they couldn't achieve corresponding results in the upcoming battle, the slave gods below might not be able to maintain order.

Zeus was not afraid of the slave gods themselves; what worried him was who would manage those subordinate worlds and extract enough divine power to pay tribute to Olympus if an entire race of vassal gods rebelled and he had to kill them all.

With the mass loss of slave gods, the divine power gained from subordinate worlds decreased almost visibly.

This is very disadvantageous.

Regarding who to focus fire on, Ares first suggested taking down Thor: "That Thor, his defense is definitely the lowest."

Thunder, well, everyone knows what that means.

The simple Thor is a prime example of someone who is strong in offense but weak in defense.

While you can instantly kill the enemy, you are also likely to be instantly killed yourself.

Athena shook her head: "No, although Thor's divine authority is only lightning, he has the World Sword to protect him, and his physical strength is comparable to that of the Titans."

Her words silenced the gods.

Thor, as the crown prince of the Aesir, wielded such power that it angered the gods, especially given his record of capturing Artemis (the Olympian gods were mistaken, believing that the goddess of the hunt had been captured by Thor).

Poseidon mentioned a name: "Tyr?"

Hades immediately rejected the idea: "The war god of a vast pantheon cannot be too weak."

Right, Ares?!
Poseidon glanced at Ares but said nothing.

Athena said earnestly, "I propose that we prioritize killing Gilgamesh. The reason is that his divine role is that of the God of Wealth!"

Wealth, well, those who know, know.

Did you see Hermes? This guy holds the divine office of [Commerce], and his power is comparable to that of a true god.

Cough cough, using the resources of the God-King to perform at the level of a true god. If I didn't know that he was only responsible for delivering messages and running errands, I would really consider him a disgrace to the God-King.

Far away.

Zeus and the gods quickly reached an agreement to assassinate Gilgamesh.

"Apollo, you stay here this time," Zeus said in a comforting tone, putting his arm around Apollo's shoulder like a loving father.

“Yes…” Apollo bowed.

He knew that his relationship with his father could never be the same again. As long as Hera, the queen of the gods, stood between him and Zeus, the rift between him and the Olympian gods would only widen.

If we change the god, perhaps they've already started planning a way out.

Apollo would not, because he is the god of light!

Zeus and his allies schemed and plotted, but they never imagined that Downs' target was Poseidon...
