Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 498 I Grant Destruction

Uranus of the Greek world was dumbfounded.

He swore that this was the first time in his life that he had seen such a bizarre and hostile world.

In his view, these worlds independent of the chaotic universe should not all be like big bubbles, with an atmosphere of the entire world wrapped in a spatial barrier that can be easily broken.

What is this huge thing that looks like a potato covered in soil and sprouting wildly?

No! Those buds are actually living things that can move quickly?

What left Uranus's mind blank was yet to come: he was shocked to discover that those already long World Tree roots were not the main roots.

Generally, tree roots are longer than the height of the tree. In order to absorb enough nutrients, trees need a huge root system, which is usually 2-3 times larger than the part above ground.

The World Tree, a colossal entity spanning the entire world of Jinlunga, grows in size as the world expands. Its height is roughly equal to, but slightly smaller than, the diameter of the entire Jinlunga world. Its root system is naturally even more terrifying in size.

Even after removing the roots that are located at the very bottom of the lower part of the world of Jinlunga, the length of the main root system that protrudes beyond the world barrier alone exceeds five thousand kilometers.

With its diameter measured in hundreds of kilometers at its thickest point, and such long, flexible roots, it would be an absolute nightmare for other small worlds.

Despite the vastness of the Greek world, it was truly difficult to withstand such thick and long roots protruding from it.

The main root system wasn't moving very fast; if you don't count the world's own movement speed, it was only about ten meters per second.

But it's big!

With such thick roots penetrating deep into the land, the pain the Greek world will suffer will be unimaginable.

"No, don't come any closer!" Gaia, the Earth Mother of the Greek world, screamed unusually.

so what?

When its roots pierced the Greek sky, broke through the atmosphere, and surveyed the heavens and earth, firmly planting themselves in the great desert south of Alexandria, the entire Greek world trembled violently.

Even in the ruins of Syracuse, hundreds of kilometers away, the tremors were palpable.

Not to mention Alexandria, the feeling of being turned upside down is an absolute nightmare for ordinary people who are still struggling to survive.

"No! Stop it! Stop it—" Gaia continued to scream.

The immense power surging from the depths of the earth manifested as a terrifying earthquake, with billions of tons of rocks and gravel surging like giant waves, struggling to compress the tips of the roots and resist the invasion of the World Tree.

However, faced with the unstoppable breakthrough power of the World Tree Roots, this state is more like a reluctant acceptance.

When Vidal reported this to Towns, Towns felt something was off.

The destruction of the World Tree continues.

Just when Uranus and Zeus thought that the invasion of the World Tree's roots was merely to change the laws of the Greek world, countless roots proved them wrong through their actions.

"Tear it!"

The vast spatial barriers were torn apart by countless roots.

Even if the barrier tries its best to fill every gap and prevent atmospheric air from escaping beyond the world, this effort is clearly futile.

The recent collision of several worlds caused Uranus, the god of the sky, to lose control over most of the heavens. With the sky corrupted by chaos, it was only natural that control would weaken as order declined.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the roots of the World Tree, like countless straws, greedily sucked up the chaotic sky.

The original air of the Greek world, along with the chaotic energy that had become murky, was all drawn into the core region of the World Tree.

The World Tree originally had the function of purifying chaotic power. As the world of Jinlunga entered the core of this chaotic universe, the surrounding chaotic energy decreased relatively, preventing the World Tree's transformation blocks from operating at full power.

The absorption of so much chaotic energy is merely restoring the World Tree's purifying power; it poses no burden. For the mortal beings of the Greek world, however, this is undoubtedly a catastrophe.

A massive amount of air was sucked away along with the chaotic energy, instantly making the atmosphere incredibly thin.

Countless animals have fallen into a coma or even died due to lack of oxygen.

Fish in the ocean are relatively better off, but atmospheric oxygen deficiency will eventually be transmitted to the deep sea.

Having just reshaped a small section of the summit of Mount Olympus, Zeus, accompanied by the gods, gazed at the sky, now a chaotic mess wrecked by the roots of the World Tree, and remained silent for a long time.

Hades finally spoke: "Could it be... that the Aesir never intended to conquer the Greek world, but rather to destroy it?"

This hypothesis sent chills down the spines of the gods.

Compared to the complete destruction of the world, so-called conquest is extremely gentle.

The Olympian gods then realized a misconception—while their defense of the world might indeed make things difficult for the attacking Aesir gods, as each Aesir god would be severely suppressed by the laws of the world there, the world's laws would become irrelevant if the entire Greek world were destroyed.

If the world is gone, how can there still be laws governing the world?
"Pah!" Poseidon spat out a mouthful of foam.

Fate is a giant boomerang.

Just days ago, Zeus, at the cost of the potential simultaneous destruction of all things in the world, finally killed his volatile father, Cronus. Unexpectedly, less than a week later, the opposing god-king threatened to destroy the entire Greek world, driving these gods, who were strongly bound to a certain aspect of the Greek realm, to their doom.

If the sky is gone, then there will be no god of the sky.

The earth will collapse, and Mother Earth Gaia will perish.

If the ocean evaporates, does the sea god still have any meaning?

The entire Olympian pantheon was bound by the traditional concept of divine warfare.

When faced with the unimaginable destructive power of this colossal world, and its destructive tactics that showed no regard for the survival of their world, they were easily driven to the brink of destruction.

Zeus was never lacking in decisiveness.

He leaped onto the 'thousand-armed giant' he controlled, merging half of the divine body back into one with the cut on his neck.

Despite the purple, chaotic aura emanating from his face, it did not diminish his majesty as a god-emperor.

The next second, his earth-shattering, resounding voice echoed throughout the entire Greek world.

That damned false emperor, Downs Paulson, is attacking our world with utterly despicable means. If he so desires, the entire Greek world will be utterly destroyed. Neither mortal nor god will escape this curse of destruction! Our only hope is to storm the world of Kinlunga and burn that demonic tree to ashes!

To be or not to be?

[I'm sure the choice won't be difficult for you!]

【Olympian gods, heed my command! Follow me and kill!】

Zeus's roar was echoed by the remaining Olympian gods.

"Kill! Fight those damned Asgardians!"

"For Olympus—"

Soon, countless dazzling divine lights rose from the earth, pierced through the fragile spatial barrier, arrived in the void, and charged towards the colossal world that resembled a hedgehog.

On the terrace of the Golden Palace in Asgard, Towns smiled slightly.

"Since you desire destruction, I will grant you destruction!"
