Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 388 Not Born Noble

A month is neither a long nor a short time.

If it were a deity, perhaps a short rest would suffice and the time would pass.

For ordinary people, this means they can effectively carry out war mobilization.

The clash between these two ordinary heroes was bloody, but also incredibly rewarding.

The lower the level of combat, the more important equipment becomes.

Thanks to their steel armor, the mortal warriors of the Aesir were able to achieve a respectable exchange ratio.

Watching those triumphant warriors return home in glory, or recruiting vagrants to expand their newly granted fiefdoms to the Aesir and achieve upward social mobility, countless mortals entered a state of excitement and fervor.

The large amount of land Towns had previously reserved came in handy.

The land was readily available, and in many places it was cultivated land already developed by Mayan or Indian slaves. The new lord only needed to take over with a group of free people.

Many ordinary heroes lack the qualifications for further advancement, so returning to be a wealthy man or a minor lord would be a very pleasant thing.

They became the best example of publicity.

If Downs could quantify the state of mortals at this moment, he would be delighted to see that the [War Support] stat is nearly at its maximum of 99%!

Palace of Silver.

"Report! A large area of ​​hazy chaotic elemental region has been discovered ahead of the shipping route, and a gap in a medium-sized mutated star sector has been found ahead of the ocean current." Ishtar's clone gathered the information and returned to report immediately.

Average!
The world of Kinlunga has had similar experiences since it began targeting the Egyptian pantheon.

The mighty goddess Ishtar has plenty of experience as a grueling, god-level scout.

Her saying "medium" means that it is permissible for beings of god-like status to travel through.

Of course, it's impossible for the true god to pass through; the opening is only so big, and it's impossible to squeeze through.

Sending a divine clone there would be enough.

As a projection of the divine soul, a divine avatar possesses extremely high mobility and varies in concealment depending on the different attributes of the deity.

No one dares to guarantee that they can stop the attack from all the gods on the other side.

This would very likely result in a situation where you fight your way, I fight my way, and each of us takes all the damage in our own world.

Conversely, once you successfully intercept an enemy deity's avatar, as long as you kill it and obtain some divine essence or divine power, you can exchange it with the six great god-kings of the Aesir, and thus ascend to become a true god.

This is not limited by the remaining promotion slots.

This is a danger, but also an opportunity.

When Downs relayed the news to the lower realms, almost all mortal heroes and demigods roared with excitement.

"Hahaha! I've been waiting for this day for so long!" The strongest giant on Earth, Hrangnir, excitedly patted his rock-like chest.

As a giant, he had long since reached the limit of his strength.

Having witnessed the vastness of the universe, he also developed a thirst for power.

Mastering some kind of earth-based divine power to break through the shackles of his own strength is his only hope now.

Among the Celtic gods, Arthur gazed solemnly at the knights who had followed him his entire life.

“Gawain, Geraint, Galahad, Gareth…” Despite being a high-ranking deity, Arthur showed no arrogance. Instead, just as he had done a hundred years ago when he was a mortal king, he personally inspected his knights, looking at them closely and calling out their names one by one.

He has long since ascended to the rank of God of Knights, and the number of knights directly under Arthur has exceeded three thousand.

What Arthur valued most were those 150-odd knights from back then.

This alone moved the Knights of the Round Table to tears. "Having experienced the battle with the Egyptian pantheon, you all know that these spatial gaps will only widen. When large spatial channels appear, it will be a true war of the gods. At that time, I won't have as many resources to lend to you. I don't know if the battle with the Greek pantheon will be the final one, but I do know that opportunities like this are few and far between."

"The mortal body will eventually decay. I can make your souls eternal, but death will also prevent your potential from ever being converted into power again."

"Go for it, my knights!"

Arthur's sincere blessing finally moved the knights to tears.

"I am willing to serve Your Majesty! For all eternity!"

……

Similar scenarios have occurred in other pantheons, such as those of Sumerian, Egyptian, and Slavic descent.

Whether they are mortal heroes, descendants of gods, or demigods, they are all eager to fight.

In contrast, the mortal heroes in the Greek pantheon exhibited distinct and subtle emotions.

Overall, it is polarized.

Like Achilles, Hercules, and other descendants of the true gods, they showed signs of eagerness to try.

On the other hand, those mortal heroes who do not have the support of profound divine blood are somewhat hesitant and cautious.

The Argo incident had escalated.

Even though Jason was utterly useless, he still managed to gather a group of quite famous heroes from all over Greece.

Humans have a herd mentality.

Children who grow up hearing stories of great heroes often yearn to embark on new adventures just like their idols.

It doesn't matter much if a hero, once a beloved idol, falls into tragedy.

If an entire ship full of heroes perished, that's another story.

Anyone would have doubts.

Fortunately, there weren't many ordinary heroes on the Argo.

Let's make a hypothetical scenario: if all the Greek heroes in the Trojan Horse scenario, as Towns understands it, were wiped out, this would cause an uproar.

After all, heroes like Agamemnon and Achilles were not only revered heroes of the Greeks, but also kings or leaders of their respective kingdoms. The simultaneous annihilation of so many great heroes would surely shatter the morale of ordinary warriors.

The human heart can be very strong, or it can be very fragile.

Everything has a tipping point...

A month later, in the Hittite world, the Greeks, along with the mortal heroes of their subordinate worlds, faced a new wave of challenges.

In the Silver Palace, the six great god-kings and a host of core deities gathered around God Emperor Tang Si, watching the images projected from their minds and discussing among themselves.

People glanced at the mortal's projection from time to time, but most of their attention was focused on Towns' hands.

Towns is demonstrating a mysterious divine art.

He would call it "fate"!
Clusters of light moved between the two world clusters. One could see Downs using his divine power to conjure an illusory golden scale.

The trays on either side bear the souls of a group of ordinary heroes.

This move is somewhat similar to Anubis's judgment.

Actually it is not.

Towns greeted the children affectionately: "Perhaps you're wondering why I value mortals so much. Actually, I've always held this view—gods aren't born noble. Rather, they become noble because of the powerful world they live in!"
