Stupid Odin

Life and death.

This itself is a cycle.

There is death only with life.

There is destruction only with creation.

This is the truth of reincarnation.

All life has 'weight,' and so does death.

While the Mayan Suicide God can collect a certain amount of divine soul as compensation for violating the oath through the Death Curse left in the souls of the Slavic gods, it is ultimately limited.

A deity will certainly fall if their soul is drained.

But what if they are replenished while being drained?

First of all, what Perun and the others felt was extreme pain.

Draining blood while transfusing it is certainly hellish, but it's not the first time they've faced this kind of pain.

Pain can actually have a threshold; beyond that threshold, the feeling becomes numb.

The key is that no matter how powerful a divine curse is, it cannot be endless.

Otherwise, it would not be a divine curse, but a black hole.

The Slavic gods' moods rose and fell sharply in a short period of time.

They personally watched their divine souls being drained by the Death Curse until they resembled dried-up eggplants, and then personally felt the Water of Life flowing in continuously, replacing that 'destined death'.

That feeling was truly like going from hell to heaven.

Admittedly, everyone knew that Thonar was using the roots of the World Tree to absorb the origin of the Aztec world, and then using his supreme control over the [Water] element in the Jötunheimr world to transfer this origin to the Slavic gods.

Being able to do it is one thing, and being willing to do it is another.

Clearly, Perun and the others realized that this new master was more generous than they had imagined.

In this cruel universe, there is no such thing as unprovoked generosity.

They probably won't be able to repay this debt in this lifetime.

But that doesn't matter.

Now that an incredibly powerful God-King has demonstrated his generosity, they should swear to follow him to the death.

When Perun and the others raised their heads and looked at the great illusory figure thousands of meters tall in the sky, their eyes already held fanaticism.

The illusion of the eleven continents of Jötunheimr was projected in the sky; these small worlds were originally the foundation of Thonar's towering throne.

He wore golden armor, with the World Tree emblem embossed on the surface of his shoulder armor. With a slight movement, the flowing dark golden luster resembled melting twilight. Countless runic symbols of all sizes spiraled and danced around him, presenting a myriad of unpredictable combinations in conjunction with the divine brilliance of [Sky], [Wind], [Water] and other attributes.

The most striking thing was the eleven [Swords of the World] suspended on the shoulders of his illusory figure, some resembling eternal frost and ice crystals, some as steady as solid rock, some like world-burning flames, and some as cold and lonely as ghosts…

Each sword represents a God-King's supreme authority over a small world.

Thonar's mere appearance and debut made the new gods under his command wholeheartedly devoted, and made the evil gods on the opposite side tremble with fear.

Perun and the others were waiting for a signal—a signal for a full-scale attack.

At this moment, the avatar projection of K'uk'ulkan, leader of the three major South American pantheons, also appeared.

It was a crystal skull even larger than a pyramid.

This mysterious and transparent skull seemed to be crafted with chisels and axes. Within the ice crystal structure of the skull, every ridge line flowed with fine silver light. Frost-like crystal clusters condensed on the edge of the jawbone, emitting countless faint, mournful wails with the trembling of the atmosphere.

Seven indigo light streams wandered inside the skull, converging into a vortex-like spot of light at the temple position, like some kind of ultra-high-dimensional mysterious mantra.

The most bizarre thing was the fluorescent substance seeping out of the cracks in the top of the skull, crawling along the bone seams like it possessed life, and all the mysteries ultimately converged at the eye sockets of the skull.

Tens of thousands of spiritual threads protruded from the back of the skull, condensed from souls, woven from flesh and blood, and affixed with millions of imprints, reflecting the surrounding eerie atmosphere.

The eye sockets, which clearly had no eyeballs, refracted a faint blue phosphorescence, as if they had seen all things from birth to death, and were gazing at Thonar's avatar projection with a condescending gaze of a high-dimensional being looking down on primitive creatures.

With just this display, K'uk'ulkan's presence was fully established.

As expected, wasn't he the treasure standing at the top of the three major Indian pantheons?

At this time, as the jaw of the crystal skull opened, K'uk'ulkan spoke.

Thonar replied:

"I am Thonar Paulsen. The Supreme God-King of the Eleven Realms of Jötunheimr!"

K'uk'ulkan scrutinized Thonar's illusory figure for a while before slowly saying: "In fact, there is no need for our two worlds to continue fighting."

Thonar sneered in response: "Any force has the right to start a war. Starting a war is easy, but ending it is difficult. Now that it has started, the form in which it ends is not up to you."

"Heh heh!" K'uk'ulkan's crystal skull avatar also let out a sneer: "What if I said that my crystal skull can not only predict the location of every world in the Chaos, but also forcibly [predict] the destruction of a world?"

As soon as these words came out, the heart of every Aesir god who heard these words in different corners of the battlefield skipped a beat.

[Divination] itself is an incredibly mysterious existence.

It almost ignores all laws and cannot be fully explained by any theory.

The moment K'uk'ulkan said these words, many Aesir gods believed it.

Although there are a bunch of gods in the Aesir who have bad brains or don't like to use their brains, their lack of brains doesn't mean they can't find someone with brains to judge.

They could tell from the expressions of Thor, Frey, Enki, and other core deities that what the other party said was true.

That's right, the damned Maya ignored all the interference of Chaos and directly rushed to the face of the Jötunheimr world. This kind of operation is simply a bug!

If Thonar hadn't spread out the reconnaissance-type deities early and searched carefully enough, Jötunheimr would probably have been tricked this time.

And their [Destruction Prophecy] made a group of Aesir gods feel uneasy as soon as they heard it.

Wait, wait, can even a world be cursed to death?

Is Mayan prophecy so heaven-defying?

They couldn't help but cast their gazes, mixed with curiosity and anticipation, towards the illusory figure of their own God-King.

Thonar simply smiled.

K'uk'ulkan was unhappy: "You don't believe it?"

"No, I believe it. But I also know that your [Destruction Prophecy] can only predict the destruction of a small world and cannot shake the entire Jötunheimr world at all. I have a hundred ways to devour your so-called 'Destruction Prophecy'."

"Ah?!" This time, it wasn't just the Aesir gods who exclaimed, even many of the Nine Allied Gods on the opposite side revealed surprise.

Wait, wait, wait!

Why do you know this ultimate Mayan secret that even the Mayan Nine Allied Gods only have a half-baked understanding of?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

K'uk'ulkan's entire god was dumbfounded.

Now that the general trend is gone, it is definitely impossible to fight head-on. If they continue to fight, the result will be the death of the gods and the extinction of the clan.

The only hope is strategic blackmail.

The problem is, how did Thonar know?
