Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Even the most despicable of people, when they understand all that the goddess has done for mankind, will be sincerely humbled and bow their heads in reverence in the face of righteousness.

They believed it—! The shock in people's hearts was beyond words.

After all, it was a real scene that was cut off directly from the true 'possible world line' at night.

The images, a mixture of truth and illusion, were released in a suggestive manner. Don't ask, the answer is 'fate'!

The sense of destiny in this world is so strong! So strong that it's almost palpable, a powerful, intuitive feeling that resonates with everyone!

This is the ultimate deception of the 'self' by intuition!

That epic feeling, that sense of sorrow—and the dark reality of the God-King ruthlessly accumulating power at all costs before the end of the world!

That's so intense! It's hard to say whether it's a scene that people can just fabricate or imagine if it didn't actually happen.

Impossible. Absolutely impossible! It just doesn't make sense!

Even in the eyes of mortals who already like to speculate about gods from a human perspective, the gods, who are high above, suddenly reveal their own flaws just like humans, which is in line with the human nature of constantly seeking verification and doubt.

Or rather—from the moment deities began to possess selfish desires, it became inevitable that people would instinctively doubt them.

How could a being with human emotions and desires, sitting in that high position, possibly refrain from using the privileges that come with it? How could it possibly maintain absolute impartiality and selflessness?!

The idea of ​​"oppressing and persecuting lives weaker than oneself" perfectly aligns with people's fantasies about gods who possess supreme power.

Everyone hates the people of the motherland, everyone longs to be a person of the motherland, everyone fears such a god, everyone longs to be a powerful god, to be the one who dominates the weak, rather than the one who becomes food for others.

The hall was utterly silent; you could hear a pin drop! Everyone was completely absorbed in the awe-inspiring scenes of the 'sea of ​​consciousness' assaulting them…

On the other hand, Ye even planned to see the results today, and if the results were good, to have the 'Black Tower' add another 'scene' to the central hub for all of Northern Europe to see.

This time, it will no longer be limited to what exists in the Nibelungen Epic, but will be a 'truth' that more mortals are qualified to know.

Meanwhile, Odin, who was unaware that he had become the ultimate villain behind the scenes, suddenly felt a bad premonition! But as an incarnation, he had no way of figuring out the source of this unease.

Chapter 202 Oden: Impossible, some random Outer God is stronger than me?

Odin had only been incarnated and descended into this world for a few days at this time, and was still sorting out the situation in this timeline. He had no idea what had happened or why he was so uneasy!

After searching through the memories of this avatar, he discovered many interesting things.

Such as—Valhalla, which was originally in his imagination and conception;

Such as—the establishment of the Valkyries;

Led by her goddess queen, Frigga, and her many Valkyries, she was the best right-hand woman to help her search for the army of Heroic Spirits.

In this possible universe, a genuine demigod (Brynhildr) has been imprisoned. Perhaps once this universe is anchored, she can be retrieved and brought into the main universe.

In addition—there is a king in his own bloodline family who is suspected of awakening divine blood and has been recognized by the Sword in the Tree, a child named Czech Fred.

The child 'he's' original choice was actually another brave child with a bloodline that had reverted to its ancestral form—Sigmund.

It's a tiny possibility that three genuine demigods exist in this universe.

For Odin, seeing so many excellent seeds in such an ancient era, in a future illusory world that could not contain the appearance of true gods, yet gave birth to three potential gods, was truly gratifying.

Perhaps he could also train his team while making the bet.

The heroic fortune and destiny of an era are finite.

There is a sense of destiny among the heroes of the same era who never meet, which is also the reason why it is so difficult for heroes to gain power, given that in order to gain something, one must give something in return.

Just like Siegmund and Siegfried—each was the brightest star in their own era. But by Siegfried's time, Siegmund, the old father, had long become a legend and was no longer active. It was only after Siegfried died that Krimhild gradually began to shine and embark on a legendary life of revenge.

Unlike Greece during the same period, where numerous heroic deeds might have occurred, creating a prosperous era of heroes, this was not the case.

In Northern Europe, the fate of an era often belongs to only a few trendsetters.

Just as the chance to bathe in dragon's blood is only once, this has led to the fact that only Siegfried could become a dragon-slaying hero for hundreds of years. After that, in Norse mythology, wanting to slay a dragon? First, you need to have a dragon.

Odin fell into deep thought, and soon he came up with an idea—as long as he nurtured the heroes he favored, the Sun King would find it difficult to obtain enough resources for growth after consuming the world's resources.

Even the Sun King, after his powerful divine strength and authority were sealed away, was merely a hero among mortals, and his abilities were limited.

To accomplish a grand undertaking and to become stronger, he needs helpers, divine artifacts, powerful external forces, and so on to break through the limits of humanity.

As far as he knew from his memories, this world hadn't seen such powerful divine artifacts for a very long time.

If we're talking about slightly more useful divine tools, it would be the sword in the Holy Sword Tree that I gave away not long ago.

The combat power of a hero wielding the Holy Sword is naturally unmatched by other heroes. If the power of the Holy Sword is fully unleashed, even gods, giants, and dragons would be no match for it.

That's right—! Dragon seed!! That's right—

If one's bloodline descendants successfully slay the dragon, they will not only be able to bathe in the dragon's blood and become stronger, but will also eventually achieve the powerful bodies of a god of war and a god of martial arts, and seize most of the heroic fortune of this era.

The great feats accomplished by the Sun King after he failed to slay the dragon due to the lack of suitable weapons pale in comparison to the fame of the dragon-slaying hero.

If a hero's great deeds are not sung and recognized by the people, then even the greatest deeds will be overshadowed.

—That would still be considered a loss for the Sun King.

However, with the Sun King's wisdom and power, he will surely have great luck. He might encounter some special opportunities, and the possibility of him suddenly getting lost in the mountains and forests and finding a holy sword is not entirely zero.

To prevent this from happening—and indeed, if you want to win the bet…

Not only must we find out the Sun King's disguised identity on Earth as soon as possible and create hardships for him, but we must also seize the initiative as much as possible and let others complete all the great deeds that can be accomplished beforehand.

Thinking of this, Odin frowned.

Given limited resources, to cultivate a truly outstanding hero, one who is outstanding enough to overshadow the Sun King's human form, he must at least be a great hero worthy of being sung about for a thousand years.

Even though he already has three preferred demigod candidates, compared to training all three, the last three might not reach his desired level due to insufficient resources—he should focus on training just one.

The remaining two could even serve as nourishment, becoming sacrifices for the birth of great heroes.

As far as demigods are concerned, as supporting characters in the destiny of heroes' growth, they already have enough weight to enrich an excellent epic.

Compared to developing combat power, Odin would rather win the bet.

He quickly made a decision—and unsurprisingly—Brynhildr was abandoned by Odin once again.

Not only is Brunhilde in this timeline being punished for disobeying Odin's orders, but also, due to blood ties, Odin will be closer to his descendants.

He chose to use Brunhilde as nourishment for his chosen hero. As for who to choose from the remaining two... it seems he'll have to observe which of his two offspring is more outstanding first!

Odin, who had this idea and did a little searching, suddenly discovered something extremely shocking in his avatar's memories, and his mouth dropped open.

Not long ago, the moon goddess Artemis came from across the world, tearing through the void to descend—and cast a blessing glance, shooting a brilliant arrow at a hero.

【Cluster of the Moon Goddess】—!

The power that descended in that memory was clearly an avatar similar to his current one, whose true form was a powerful deity in another universe.

The sheer power and majesty emanating from the images in my memory is palpable—it's definitely a god-level powerhouse.

This isn't just any ordinary god-level being; it seems—its strength is... even greater than mine?!

Odin: !!!

Impossible! It's just an image; you can't see anything from it.

How could any random god possibly appear and be stronger than me?!

It must be that this memory is tinged with too much individualism. However, before his own incarnation descended, the old man who symbolized 'himself (Odin)' had too shallow a vision, which is why he had such an illusion.

How could he possibly perceive that these beings from outer space, gods from other mythological worlds, were more powerful than himself, the creator god-king?!

Chapter 203 Auden: She definitely wants to kidnap my great-grandson as a concubine! Absolutely not!

As the supreme god of Norse mythology, the highest-ranking god among gods, he is the pinnacle of the gods!

There is absolutely no possibility that a mere alien god could surpass his power or be more powerful than him.

Thinking of this, Odin's expression was incredibly varied, unpredictable, and ugly.

Just like when he first met the Sun King, he was unwilling to admit that the Sun King, this wandering god, was so mysterious and powerful, and unwilling to admit that in the outside world, other pantheons had developed a civilization and poetry that was more brilliant and prosperous than that of Norse mythology.

He was always proud and arrogant to have created such a beautiful world.

How could his pride allow him to accept that he is inferior to others and that the new things he discovers in his world are nothing more than outdated things from other worlds?

Although my Norse world was established a little late, my Norse pantheon remains powerful!

Artemis's appearance made Odin think a lot. His first thought was whether it was related to the Sun King, but he quickly thought it was unlikely.

This future universe differs greatly from the timeline of the main universe in reality, and its connection with the real world is extremely weak.

While the other party came for the Sun King, Odin was more concerned about the subtle timeline of this world, which happened to be right at the very moment when Ragnarok was approaching.

Odin, who was originally unable to see the exact time of Ragnarok's arrival, suddenly sensed clearly in this universe that perhaps not too long from now, the fate of the Norse universe would be completely rewritten, neither simply annihilation nor a successful survival after overcoming the trials.

The future seemed to conceal something terrifying and horrifying, blocking his view.

Odin's avatar has limited power and can only vaguely sense that it may involve many pantheons, that is, other universes besides Norse mythology.

This is why he had no doubt about Artemis's arrival, and at the same time, the great god also had a more in-depth conjecture about Ragnarok.

He had initially thought that Ragnarok was caused by his nemesis, the Frost Giants, and the gods of the Vanir, but now it seemed... it might not just be a civil war within the pantheon, but also by foreign invaders.

Is this a massive pantheon war?

Although he was unaware of the rise of monotheism, even from his limited perspective within his own world, Odin vaguely sensed the importance of this historical transition and became aware of the impending crisis.

When Odin thought about how Artemis appeared to help the beings of night, an idea immediately came to mind.

Judging from his own experience, the first thing that came to his mind was that alien god who wanted to take advantage of the fact that the timeline of this world was not anchored to dig people out of their universe.

Just like the Valhalla Temple of the Fallen, which he created himself.

'That goddess might have taken a liking to that child (Night) and wants to capture him to be a... cough, a slave warrior!!!'

Odin's expression darkened at the thought.

He's always been good at scheming against others (forcing them to be his sex slaves), but no one has ever dared to take advantage of him.

The last time he encountered such a setback was when the World Tree was conquered prematurely, and he watched helplessly as he missed the throne of the Lord of the World.

However—now that I'm here, the other party's schemes can no longer be realized.

Czech Fred is his own descendant, a demigod with the most orthodox blood of the Aesir!

No one's blood is redder than its...

Once he finally reveals his identity, I don't believe the other party will still choose some foreign deity and abandon their powerful grandfather.

The status and position of the rightful heir to the great god are so noble, isn't that appealing?
