Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 452 The Sea Dries Up
Zeus, on the other hand, carefully instructed his two brothers: "Poseidon and Hades, the younger generation is not very reliable, so we will rely on you two to create an advantage."

“No problem.” Poseidon said confidently.

"Hmm." Hades nodded, as if he were a silent man, in acknowledgment.

Of course, Zeus wasn't blind; he also saw that the slave gods had suffered heavy losses, which had severely impacted their morale. He consulted Athena and then announced that in the upcoming divine war, he would consider freeing the three slave gods with the best battle record from their slave status and officially joining the Olympian gods as legitimate deities.

Those lucky enough to feel they have a chance to improve their status are naturally very excited.

At least on the surface, it appeared that more than two hundred slave gods were expressing their gratitude and thanking Zeus the God-King immensely.

This seemed to slightly boost the morale of the slave god.

Conversely, many Greek gods expressed their dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty, what right do these lowly slaves have to share the same temple and be gods with us?" Ares, in his rage, blurted out.

His contempt and anger were seen by every slave god.

This scene immediately caused the morale that the slave god had painstakingly built up to plummet back down.

No, this is going backwards.

Zeus was furious and immediately berated Ares for being ungrateful!
Unfortunately, Ares is notoriously stubborn. If he were willing to admit his mistakes and correct them, he wouldn't be Ares!
He retorted to Zeus, "They don't have our divine blood! I will not share a temple with insects!"

That's right, Ares is a fanatical believer in bloodlines!
This put Zeus in a bind.

Athena and Apollo, watching from the sidelines, were exhausted—what kind of time is this to be fighting amongst themselves!
Fortunately, Athena never relied on the slave god's fighting power from beginning to end.

There's no way around it; the divine power naturally generated in a world is limited. Since the twelve divine kings took more, the slave gods below them naturally took less.

With the divine power that leaks out between his fingers, how could he possibly support any powerful deity?
Give me a break!

There is no solution!
Zeus was just trying to fool these cannon fodder, but Ares, that idiot, took it seriously.

This is the daily life of the Olympian pantheon.

They can never be of one mind!

They spend their days forever fighting for power and profit!

Time flew by, and a month later...

The great war began on the expected date.

This can't be hidden from anyone.

Driven by cosmic currents, the two massive world clusters began to gradually approach each other in the void. If it weren't for the two large, mutated star sectors blocking their way, the Jinlunga world might have been happy to use the massive roots of the World Tree to greet the Greek world, whose outer shell (sky) and core (earth) clearly had different ideas.

At this time, the chaotic energy in the universe has almost disappeared.

In both worlds, any god can use divine vision to transcend the barriers of their own world and see the other world.

Soon, the enormous spatial passages, visually dazzling and filled with ever-changing light and shadow, began to construct themselves under the drive of the laws of the stellar domain—connecting space, gathering elements from the void to form temporary land bridges, and then these several extremely long battlefields were handed over to the gods of both sides.

As expected, Thor, the strongest warrior under Towns, went into battle against Poseidon.

The 'civil war' among the gods of death naturally pitted Hela against Hades and Hypnos, with Ereshkigal and Scáthach leading the charge. Hades had long known that Ereshkigal and Scáthach were formidable opponents, so this time he had no choice but to bring along the trio of judges, consisting of Zeus's three sons.

While Ereshkigal was battling Shynapos, the three giants of Greek Hell were entangled with Scáthach. Hades didn't know if the three giants could complete their mission; he only hoped that the three god-level giants could withstand Scáthach without falling, and that would be considered a successful mission.

In other spatial passages, Athena confronts Gilgamesh, and then Ares and Tyr engage in a 'civil war' between the gods of war.

In the vast expanse of space, numerous deities from both sides engaged in fierce battles.

In an instant, countless elements and divine spells clashed and roared as they traversed the battlefield designated by the universe.

Elements devoid of color are also rapidly destroying the ever-collapsed temporary passage.

The two sides not only determined who was superior, but also decided their fate.

Yet, even under these circumstances, a spatial passage spanned tens of thousands of kilometers of void, reaching the Greek world from afar.

This scene quickly alerted Apollo, who was in charge of defense patrols.

He saw it and immediately warned Poseidon, who had a stake in the matter.

But there was nothing he could do; that was not a domain that Apollo could control.

In South Atlantis, a terrifying whirlpool, at least thirty kilometers in diameter, roars and opens its massive maw in the middle of the ocean.

Spatial energy with strange colors entwined around the constantly collapsing spatial cracks at the edges.

The ocean waves, twisted into spirals by an exaggerated energy force that was clearly divine, carried broken wooden warships and even rubble from isolated islands into the whirlpool.

"The sea...is disappearing?!"

On an island a little further from the whirlpool in South Atlantis, a priest of Poseidon, filled with terror, let the salty vapor condense into salt crystals that stung his eyes. He stared intently at the seashore, watching the fishermen kneeling on the rocks, futilely trying to grasp at the disappearing waves.

The sea level is dropping rapidly.

The roar of the seawater breaking apart shook the marble pillars of the palace in the deep-sea trench kingdom.

The king of the Trench Kingdom clutched his head with both hands as if he were going mad, so hard that it was as if he wanted to tear off the crown that Poseidon himself had bestowed upon him.

His kingdom, which should have been forever asleep in the dark depths of the sea, now saw a pale light gradually emerging above its head—a terrifying sight that this deep-sea kingdom had never witnessed before.

The Atlanteans weren't unfamiliar with the sights on the surface of the sea; they simply hadn't seen anything similar in the deep ocean.

The sun-drenched seabed was rapidly drying up, and the crackling sounds of coral breaking apart were transmitted to the Atlanteans' ears through the air, not the water. Tens of thousands of silverfish fell like a torrential rain, slapping against the bare reef in a dying rhythm.

"Aaaaah! What is this?"

The sea warrior holding the bronze shield trembled, and the weapon slipped from his fingers.

The crisp sound of the limited amount of seawater crashing against the underwater volcanic rock was swallowed up by the roar of the collapsing water wall.

The sun's rays cleaved the dome of this deep-sea kingdom of Atlantis, and in an instant, the scorching sunlight illuminated every corner of the abyss—a light comparable to the hellfire of Tartarus!
In an instant, countless Atlanteans, unaccustomed to sunlight, let out sharp screams.

A certain space portal, comparable to the end of the world, is not only sucking up the ocean, but also the entire Atlantis civilization.

The desperate prayers of the Atlanteans, who were devout followers of Poseidon, actually crossed the void and reached Poseidon's ears directly.

P.S.: This is the last month of the book's run. I expect to finish writing it by the end of the month, ending with Zeus being chariotized to death.

Nothing more than letting everyone know. The new book isn't finalized yet. After writing the beginning, I need to submit it to the editor for review, and then it might be taken back to my main account. I'll let everyone know if there's any new information.
