Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 476 I'm tired, let's destroy it!

Athena arrived at her temple, where the nymph goddesses offered drinks to the two god-kings.

Compared to Apollo's lukewarm and gentle attitude, Hercules was much more serious, his words filled with the importance he placed on this campaign.

After careful observation, especially after hearing Hercules advocate for a swift and decisive attack, and his willingness to be the vanguard, Athena had a plan in mind.

“Hercules, I deeply appreciate your loyalty to His Majesty the God-Emperor. But war is not child's play. Launching an attack as soon as possible means being prepared to be interfered with by the Aesir army.” Athena used the word 'interference,' which was already quite polite: “Our forces are insufficient to directly confront multiple God-Kings at the same time. Moreover, I have fought Odin, and his strength is not weak to begin with.”

Apollo spoke, his words carefully chosen: "In just three days, we will be able to forcefully subdue those rebels without any interference. In a mere three days, Odin cannot possibly strengthen the defenses of the Dogon world by much."

Hercules's lips twitched twice. Seeing that both god-kings, who were of higher status and seniority than him, had said this, he could only give up.

That was how things were originally supposed to end.

Who knew, something unexpected happened.

Before the three gods had finished their meeting, Hera sent a nymph goddess.

"I have brought the decree of His Majesty the God-Emperor and Queen Hera—all God-Kings are requested to launch an attack as soon as possible. If there is any interference from the Aesir, His Majesty the God-Emperor will personally intercept it."

This made Athena completely distraught.

In theory, Zeus could indeed do it. What if, when Zeus came to intercept the Aesir gods, Cronus and the other Titans coordinated perfectly to launch a surprise attack on Syracuse?

Doesn't this mean creating an unfavorable situation of fighting on two fronts when our combat strength is insufficient?
The current situation is that we must at least eliminate interference from the other side before we can reliably remove Odin, this damned thorn in our side. Doesn't Zeus understand this?

Athena didn't even need to think about it; it was definitely Hera deliberately stirring things up so that she could get rid of her as soon as possible.

Athena is truly exhausted.

protest?

Hilarious! If she were to so mindlessly go and protest to Zeus, she wouldn't even be able to see him in a minute, and would be blocked outside the temple by the nymphs sent by Hera.

Besides, what was she doing going to Zeus's temple alone? Was she just sending herself to that lecherous old man?

The key point is that her teammates are working hard in the opposite direction!
As she expected, Hercules, the god of blind loyalty, immediately lit up upon hearing the decree, stood up abruptly, and bowed respectfully, saying, "We shall prepare to set out immediately."

Athena sighed inwardly: With powerful enemies watching and no external reinforcements, they still think they are the top gods who are invincible throughout the universe and implement their strategies. It would be strange if they didn't lose.

She had already foreseen the outcome of this expedition's failure.

Without a doubt, she will become the most unfortunate scapegoat.

The outcome of her return to Olympus after her defeat was either that Zeus would harm her or that Hera would poison her.

Either way, it's a dead end for her!

On the surface, Athena and Apollo nodded calmly.

Athena: "Understood, we'll launch our attack this afternoon."

Seemingly surprised by Athena's compliance, the nymph goddess who relayed the message felt as if she had punched cotton; Hera's pre-arranged words of intimidation were completely ignored.

Regardless, as long as the mission of the Goddess is accomplished, that's all that matters.

The nymph goddess also bowed: "In the name of Zeus, the king of gods, I wish you all the best." "Thank you for the glorious light of our father!" the three god-kings said in a formulaic unison.

Next, there's not much to say; it's simply a matter of handing things over and instructing the righteous gods, subordinate gods, even demigods and divine servants below to urgently prepare for the expedition.

On the other hand, Odin was also preparing for battle in full swing.

The day after he regained control of the world of Rilanca, Odin summoned his gods and saw Makaria, Hades' daughter, following Apche like a wronged wife.

She seemed to have been well-trained by Apche; upon seeing Odin, she immediately followed Apche in bowing deeply.

When it comes to dealing with slave gods, the Maya and Greek pantheons are the real experts. In comparison, the Aesir, due to the mercy of the Downs, were not so bloody and brutal.

Odin looked at Apche, who was beaming with smug satisfaction and walking with an air of nonchalance, and gave a strange smile that nearly made Apche scream his alarm.

Apche immediately sidled up to him like a lapdog, saying, "Thank you, my Lord, for your grace! Apche is extremely grateful!"

"Whatever makes you happy!" Odin said softly, then changed the subject: "Gentlemen, we must now prepare to deal with the counterattack of the Olympian gods."

As soon as Odin spoke, a silent commotion arose below.

The Mayan gods, along with the newly surrendered slave gods who were formerly subordinate to the Greeks, each wore a slightly uneasy expression.

Apche proactively suggested, "If the enemy loses their mind, they can launch an attack within three days, and we can still receive direct support from the Aesir. But what about after three days? Should we ask Cronus for help? Will that Saturnian god be willing to come to our aid?"

“Of course he…is unwilling.” Odin pursed his lips.

The expressions of the original Dogon God King Anma and others changed drastically.

Odin glanced disdainfully at these spineless, worthless gods: "You spineless dogs. Since you don't have the courage, then leave everything to me."

"Yes, yes, yes! Of course, I will follow His Majesty's orders." Anma replied with a forced smile. He was like a shameless golden retriever, able to put on a smiling face for anyone.

Odin glanced at Apche again: "Cronus will definitely not be willing to come to the rescue, but I told him that I held off Zeus's minions for him, and he will be happy to steal Zeus's new stronghold."

Apche quickly sang praises: "Your Majesty is wise! Indeed, Zeus and Cronus are nothing but Your Majesty's playthings."

Odin swept his gaze across the entire hall, especially fixing his sharp eyes on the newly descended gods like Ammar, who felt a chill run down their spines: "You need not be afraid. I'll leave my words here. It would be better if the Olympian gods didn't come; if they do, I'll hang the head of their god-king at the entrance of this great hall."

"Your Majesty is mighty—" Anma led the way, prostrating herself on the ground, bowing repeatedly.

They had had enough of Zeus's cruelty and oppression.

Even though they didn't think Odin could be any better.

Unfortunately, the Asgardians had previously brought a significant amount of seawater into their world, making their situation even worse. As a result, they only offered token resistance before surrendering to the previous campaign by the five Asgardian kings.

Everyone knows that traitors who constantly change their minds will never have a good ending; they can only be determined to follow Odin all the way to the end.

Sure enough, Athena's divine army arrived shortly afterward.

Just as Odin had 'prophesied,' Athena and the others had barely engaged Odin and his forces when news arrived that the Titans were launching a fierce attack on Syracuse.

Athena sighed deeply, a sigh of an ancient Greek phrase that translates to: "I'm tired, let's destroy!"
