Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 374 Promising a Divine Throne
Unfortunately, Thor's Stormbreaker will probably never exist in this world.

Otherwise, things might get even more interesting!
After chatting for a while, the topic quickly shifted back to preparations for the upcoming match.

Starting from the God-King level, each core deity reported on their war preparedness.

Fortunately, this is a world where divine authority reigns supreme. Otherwise, if the various mortal kingdoms below were to fall into systemic corruption, billions of dollars would be poured in and perhaps not even make a sound.

For some unscrupulous people, even the fall of their own god is nothing.

Have the gods fallen?
Let's find another god to worship.

As long as there is a god protecting him, he doesn't care if the divine realm collapses or the world is flooded.
After listening, Towns finally nodded in satisfaction: "I will send Valkyrie to verify it."

After another month of sailing, the world of Jinlunga finally arrived at the former world of Sri Lanka, propelled by the cosmic ocean currents.

"Oh, this is truly... tragic!"

Sri Lanka, once home to 20 million people, is now a wasteland of desolation and despair.

The sun god and moon god of the Neo-Mayan pantheon have perished.

The world no longer has the alternation of day and night.

The water god died, and most of the world's water bodies began to decay. The only saving grace was that the spatial barrier seemed to still be functioning to some extent, allowing the exchange of gases with the ordered universe outside under certain filtration conditions, which generated wind.

The wind then drove the seawater to crash against the shore.

Seawater, filtered through sand and gravel, forms some drinkable wells along the coast.

This allowed some ordinary people to survive.

Brunhilde and the other Valkyries quickly surveyed the desolate world and returned to report.

"Your Majesty, a month ago, a grand divine war broke out here. Mortals witnessed exaggerated light and shadow, and many eyewitnesses claimed to have seen the fall of the Neo-Mayan gods. Then it seems... Odin was killed, or perhaps captured. Those brutal Greek gods took Odin away. Then, over two weeks, they dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops to ravage the entire world. About half of the mortals were killed, and most of the rest were enslaved and taken away."

"Oh," Towns replied casually.

All of this was within his expectations.

After all, before he transmigrated, the Greek civilization, which was praised by countless people, was a typical slave society.

The Greeks were able to focus on pursuits like poetry and science that required full-time employment because they had ten times as many slaves to perform the arduous labor for them.

There are no such things as poetry and distant places; it's just that someone is bearing the burden for them.

Perhaps due to the obstruction of the mutated star system, the Greek pantheon was unable to completely plunder it. Even though it was clear that many parts of the continent of Sri Lanka suffered significant collapse and damage, at least about 50,000 square kilometers of land remained.

Downs was most pleased that the gods had been wiped out, but the land and the territory of mortals remained.

"Okay, let's move this small world next to Jinlunga for backup."

"Yes!"

Towns turned to Ishtar and asked, "How's it going on your end?"

The goddess of Venus nodded: "My clone has gone far ahead and has already caught up with the trail of the Greek world. For now, we can be sure that if we follow the ocean current, we will encounter a series of mutated star regions, with holes in the middle that can only be passed through small spatial cavities."

"Oh, I understand." With a thought, Downs' enormous phantom appeared in Valhalla, the Hall of Heroes. He not only saw the heroic spirits sparring inside Valhalla, but also a group of mortal heroes eager to fight in the square outside the Valhalla palace.

Upon seeing the appearance of Downs's illusory image, all mortals immediately stopped what they were doing and knelt down in deep worship.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Divine Emperor!" "Rise," Downs said bluntly. "Your long years of training have finally come in handy. The drums of the [Ultimate Battle] have sounded! Gentlemen, are you ready?"

"Always be prepared—"

That was a sound that soared straight into the sky!
That was an aura that could swallow mountains and rivers!
Every spirit, every hero, shone with an undisguised fervor in their eyes.

"Excellent! Very spirited!" Downs said with satisfaction. "Go forth, warriors of the Aesir! On that land, meet the challenge of the Greek heroes. I will personally ignite the divine fire for the three of you with the best battle record, and include them among the true gods of the Aesir. Of course, if more heroes prove their bravery with the blood of their enemies, I will not be stingy either."

Towns' simple words instantly ignited an atmosphere of extreme fervor in the audience.

"Oh oh oh!"

"Long live the Divine Emperor!"

Everyone knows that the Aesir are based on military strength and do not mind the inclusion of foreign races.

This kind of promotion, which considers only battle achievements and not background, is what excites ordinary heroes the most.

Cheers, discussions, praises, and noises filled the air.

Downs was satisfied with the reaction of the thousand or so mortal powerhouses. With a wave of his hand, he lifted his cloak, and the illusory image disappeared once more, leaving them to discuss it enthusiastically.

The Indian heroes Karna and Arjuna exchanged a glance.

Karna: "This may be our last chance."

Arjuna: "Yes! There are very few gods in this universe who can compare with the Aesir. You can tell from the fact that the God-Emperor is willing to invest so much."

Not far away, Beowulf said to Siegfried, "As far as I know, this is the first time His Majesty has granted a divine position."

Siegfried didn't care: "This means that our opponent this time is definitely not simple."

In a Celtic-style temple in Asgard, Arthur surveyed the knights who had followed him for nearly a century.

"Back then, I transformed you all into demigods, barely managing to withstand the erosion of time. Even with the support of divine power, you cannot stop the march of aging. This is your last chance, do you understand?"

"We know!" The knights, led by Gawain, all had burning eyes and shouted excitedly.

Not far away in the Celtic settlement, Finn and Diarmuid clenched their fists.

Of the Celtic island forces that surrendered to the Aesir, the Knights of Fiona were the least popular due to their rebellion against the king. Arthur was deified early on, and Queen Maeve became the emperor's lover through her beauty, but the demigods of the Knights of Fiona were completely forgotten.

Given that the Aesir gods seem poised to unify the chaotic universe, it's even less likely that Finn and his companions would jump ship at this point.

How to stand out from the crowd became the most pressing issue.

Towns opened the door to godhood, and they naturally couldn't let it go.

These are three openly offered divine positions. If you miss them, you may never have another chance in your lifetime.

Cough!

Not to mention them, even the great magician Merlin was tempted.

Don't forget that during his more than a century of conquest, Towns developed a collecting obsession and amassed countless legendary heroes.

Now that he has sown such a seed, who knows what kind of spectacle will unfold in his duel with the Greek heroes.
