Warhammer: My Biological Father Emperor and My Demigod Brother

Aaron reached out to pull Anda's hair: "Do I really look that stupid?"

When the father and son started bickering, Marum only needed to act as the recorder.

Um, the part where the son's trouser leg is ripped off by his father is not included in this count.

After all that fuss, in the evening, the three of them, along with Lao Wu and the donkey, soaked in the heated bath and enjoyed the good life.

Anda took a sip of Egypt's stock of wine; it wasn't as good as the Athenian wine, but it was usable.

"That's life. The only goal is to find better food and drinks."

Although Marum was supposedly soaking in it, he was actually heating it up. His power armor core was carefully controlled to prevent the water level in the bath from rising to the point where it was scalding hot.

Aaron leaned against the fifth brother and asked casually;

"Alright, Father, let's talk about some important issues. I have already met Uncle Poseidon, which means that the gods of your generation are your immortal friends."

Adachi said contentedly:

"Yes, but don't use the term 'immortals,' just call them 'old immortals.' In fact, you can call even your mother that."

Aaron resisted the urge to kick him and then asked:

"So what I've always wanted to understand is, what about all those older brothers and sisters before me? Whether they were demigods or true gods? Like Apollo, Ares, and so on, I should be calling them brothers by now."

Adachi laughed heartily at this point and gave his answer:

"They were also one of my old friends, but they lost to us when we were playing role-playing games, so they were compiled by Erda and people treat them as our children. To use a term from the future, it's like we won a father-son game, and the loser called us dad."

"Haha, back then Poseidon and Hades were really helpful; they found me an invisibility helmet and some kind of concentrated lightning."

Aaron suddenly realized: "So that's how it is! The battle in the mythology where you defeated Cronus was actually a game between you immortals. Wait, I was thinking, what if the loser had to call me 'daddy'—"

His eyes became wise, in a positive sense:

"So, in mythology you call Cronus 'father,' is it because you lost to him?"

Anda didn't care about this. Anyway, calling someone "Dad" would earn him some meat. Besides, he was currently the cheapest among the immortals. Anda had even held him when he was little.

He nodded nonchalantly and said:

"That's right. Apart from my biological father, whose concept was hidden by my future self using some power, so I don't remember him very clearly, everyone else was at least a burly man picking his toes or a menopausal aunt when I was born."

Aaron finally got the answer to his long-standing question: the truth of the myth was that a group of immortals were arguing about who the father was.

It now appears that, up to the last father-son game so far, his father has won.

Because Poseidon and others chose the right side, they were able to become the brothers of the King of Gods.

He became expectant: "So when will your next father-son showdown be? Will it create a new legend? Like in mythology, where your son overthrows you."

Marum, who was cooling off evenly on the side, became alert. How could Aaron, such a well-behaved child, still be thinking about the prophecy that would set the heavens and constellations ablaze, even though it had been almost three months since they last met?

When no one was looking, Adachi relieved himself in the bathtub:

"Phew~ I don't know, most of them have gone into hiding to do their own thing. We'll find out next time we see a bunch of old fogies together."

"I've played plenty of father-son games, but no matter what, I'll always be the dad who laughs last!"

Aaron still looked somewhat disappointed: "Sigh, I thought I would be able to see my older brothers and sisters in real life, but now that I think about it, I really am the eldest child in our family. I have too many younger brothers, and I'm already feeling a bit overwhelmed."

Adachi stood up, got out of the bath, and wrapped a towel around himself.

"Now you know how difficult it will be for me in the future. Raising children is so hard. It's exhausting to focus on just one, and the results are still far from ideal. Twenty-one! I could raise twenty-one donkeys and they would be more obedient than them."

He stretched and prepared to go to sleep.

"Oh right, I just peed in there, so remember to come up quickly."

Aaron's eyes glazed over, his hands trembled, his heart pounded, and his breathing stopped!

"Marum, quickly grab the fifth one and run!"

Before Aaron could sense any problems with the water quality, he rushed forward to have a father-son game with his father.

Even though I can't beat him, my fists are unyielding in my determination to beat my father!

Meanwhile, a few streets away, in a small attic, two people were looking down at the "devil's ruins" that had once served as a wall displaying human bodies.

One of them was the servant of the consul's secretary, Alder.

The other person was a prisoner of war held in prison. Because many battles were fought so fiercely that neither side bothered to find out the cause, the prisoners had almost forgotten some trivial matters from the past.

Unable to remain idle in prison, he was taken out by Olde with a promise of freedom.

They were to study the secrets revealed to them by the oracle of "Athena".

Its name is: "Wisdom in the Head".

Chapter 138 "Athena" Inside the Skull (3K)

It is said that Zeus, the king of the gods, feared being overthrown by his own offspring, and did many abstract things similar to what he did with his father Cronus, such as eating his own children.

However, because of this, Athena was born from Zeus's headache and was hailed as the wisdom of Zeus.

Because she was born female, Zeus generously bestowed upon Athena many powers.

Anyway, it can't be some bald guy wielding chained twin swords, hacking his way from the underworld to Olympus.

The Temple of Athena's Shadow granted them a divine realm of "wisdom within their heads."

We must use every means to bring about the collapse of order in Dedu.

Before they could carry out these measures, they had to come to the place where a person’s brain had once been placed and praise the great god of wisdom nine times.

However, one can only mention the title "Goddess of Wisdom," and not the name Athena.

This is, after all, a shadow temple, and they have their own taboos.

Alder understood this to be a ritual of sacrificing oneself to the god of wisdom, much like praising Ares before a competition.

Therefore, the intelligent one took the high ground and brought a mortal to pray for him.

To avoid giving their master any leverage, and in case this shadow temple is not recognized in the future, their actions—using the guidance of the god of wisdom to disrupt the social order of a city-state that is about to join Athens—would be blasphemous.

How could Athena, the protector of Athens, and her followers do such a thing!

Therefore, various protective measures should still be prepared.

The mortal gazed at the wall from afar, then knelt down and began to pray nine times:

“God of Wisdom, guided by you, we have come to seek the oracle of ‘wisdom within the head.’ We reveal the lowly wisdom within my wretched head to the almighty mystery. May you grant us your blessing.” (X9)

Ald waited patiently for the prayer ceremony to complete, wondering if he would receive Athena's blessing.

He drew his knife, and after the ninth prayer, he stood behind the man and beheaded him.

“I must leave no future trouble, kid. There really isn’t a single bit of wisdom in your head.”

He grabbed the unfortunate man by the hair and lifted him up: "This is for you."

I don't know who it was dedicated to.

Anyway, it's better to be a little vague. Maybe one of the gods in the sky will see it and think it's a sacrifice for them, and then give them some wonderful ideas.

Old began to process the body, cutting open the scalp as if squeezing out a boiled egg, and then began to deal with the seams of the "egg white," that is, the skull that was not a single piece.

Until the entire brain tissue is exposed.

These actions were not what the priest requested; in fact, the priest did not ask him to kill anyone.

In the darkness, it seemed as if an unparalleled power was guiding the wisdom within Ald's brain. The "Athena" within his skull truly manifested, controlling him to remove the complete brain tissue as if performing the most precise intracranial surgery.

In the Chaos Demon Realm, inside one of Tzeentch's sanctuaries.

A twisted, shaped figure dressed in a dark blue female skirt armor is slowly coalescing.

"The new look is not bad, but I still can't find the real Athena. Anyway, the immortals are hard to deal with, so I can only wear Poseidon's face."

Beneath a head of beautiful long hair was a handsome face resembling Poseidon, paired with a feminine body, enough to make even Poseidon himself marvel.

Then he sighed: "Not as good as a manatee."

"Fortunately, what Anda crushed before was the resentment of the sinner, while the souls of the dismembered people were preserved separately by me, and now is the perfect time to use them."

Tzeentch, or rather "she," began to plan Ald's course of action:

"Believers, heed my words!"

"Your consuls are to use coercion and bribery to seize control of the economic lifeline of Dedu, and then supply Athens with food and handicrafts at high prices."

"Propagate Athenian extravagance within the city of Thedu, and then expose it to the lower-class citizens, even free men and slaves."

"To promote the truth, goodness, and beauty of Athens to the lower classes, and the benevolent guidance of the temples. To incite internal conflicts within Athens."

"By taking advantage of the image of some benevolent Athenians, they began to divide and seize the means of production in Dedu, including slaves and land."

"I have other plans for what happens next."

Tzeentch casually picked some methods to wreak havoc on city-states before Christ. His image at this time was a manifestation of His great power, and it also had to be in line with the historical context, so he couldn't give these people too many sophisticated methods.

In any slave society, the ultimate goal is to determine the ownership of the means of production.

As Alder listened to the Hadith, these words automatically transformed from plain language into profound and sophisticated text.

While eating pig brains, I couldn't help but praise the "wisdom within the skull"!

Tzeentch was quite pleased; it was astonishing that a monkey from pre-Christian Earth had come up with such a delicious prayer.

Thus, the Shadow Priests of Athena were born, becoming one of the faiths accepted by Tzeentch.

If Athena is outwardly the goddess of wisdom, protecting Athens.

So, the shadow Athena is meant to evoke the cunning wisdom and even spontaneous feelings within people's minds, thereby triggering conflict.

Ah, wisdom within the brain, not bad, I like it.

It's not so wonderful for those races that have brains but lack any intelligence.

Alright, it's evening now, and the Emperor and his family are resting.

Now we must start manipulating Ald to cleanse himself, and then use him as a vessel to get closer to Aaron.

Let's see if we can start corrupting this mechanism that makes them invisible in the warp and thus truly nonexistent.

The story goes that this human body display wall was originally intended as a blessing for a wealthy family's nephew, who, in order to treat his terminally ill lover, began to dissect bodies and display organs to find the source of the disease.
