Stupid Odin

Without any intention of prolonging the fight, Cú Chulainn swung his demonic spear horizontally, ensuring a lethal blow to the heart, and swiftly retreated before the giant scorpion, many times his size, could react.

“You! You, you dare to kill the great me—” the Scorpion Goddess, using her last strength, futilely waved her pincers and swung her scorpion tail, terrifying to mortals, ultimately failing to hit any effective target.

She couldn't even manage to take a giant down with her in her last moments.

Hrungnir wasn't stupid; when Cú Chulainn went up, he pulled back with his giant brothers.

He didn't know if the opponent was a true god.

Such venomous creatures were often the bane of giants. He would be wronged to die at the hands of an animal god he was destined to lose to.

With the fall of Serket, the pharaoh of the Fayyum city-state completely lost the will to resist, surrendering without any complaints.

After entering the city, Gilgamesh did not order a massacre; he simply ordered his subordinates to arrest all the temple priests and guards under Serket and 'sacrifice' them to the great Hippopotamus Goddess.

This was common in the Egyptian world.

Mortals could surrender, but the enemy's priests had to die!

The more bloody, the more it would please the new master.

The only thing that surprised the mortals of Fayyum was that the victorious pharaoh announced: “I have received the divine revelation of the Hippopotamus Goddess! I declare that I will change my religious name to Gilgamesh. And this Hippopotamus Goddess's subordinate deity—the [God of the Spear] Cú Chulainn will become your new guardian deity. Everyone must offer their faith to him, or die!”

The surrendered had no human rights.

This was especially true in the city-state world of Egypt, which practiced slavery.

And so, nearly twenty thousand soldiers and civilians swore allegiance to the new god Cú Chulainn, and received the [Spear Blessing].

Everyone who used a spear felt the descent of divine grace.

Truth be told, the Spear Blessing was very tangible. Even a farmer who didn't know anything about swordsmanship could instantly comprehend the spear techniques bestowed by the [God of the Spear] when using a pitchfork.

If there was any dissatisfaction…

The new believers discovered that since believing in Cú Chulainn, their luck seemed to be a bit bad.

How should I put it, it wasn't like being cursed after believing in an evil god, it was just a bit unlucky.

This is beside the point.

After conquering Fayyum, Gilgamesh conscripted about three thousand soldiers from Fayyum, combined them with the elites selected from his original city-state, and merged them into an army of six thousand, continuing to conquer those city-states that had joined the Set camp.

In just one month, with the force of a storm sweeping away leaves, he conquered another five city-states in the name of the Hippopotamus Goddess.

In this desolate place of Lower Egypt, a pharaoh who could possess seven city-states was definitely a force to be reckoned with.

When Gilgamesh contacted Downs again, Downs was a little dumbfounded.

“Letting Gilgamesh do this, and there's actually a surprise?”

Gilgamesh in the myths was quite tyrannical in his early years. After all, he believed in Ishtar, that madwoman, and she was also the Goddess of War, so it would be false to say he didn't like war.

His military talent was not bad at all.

It was just limited by the era, so he couldn't use it well for external conquests.

Letting him do it this time, he could handle this kind of large-scale troop deployment. Maybe in the future, he can really stand alone and command a divine army.

At this time, Hela asked curiously: “Your Majesty, Gilgamesh is making such a big commotion, but Set and Horus haven't reacted?”

Downs shook his head lightly and smiled: “You don't understand the Egyptian world…”

After Downs explained, Hela realized that whether comparing the various divine systems vertically or horizontally, the highly centralized divine system like the Asgardian gods today was a rare exception.

In most worlds, gods and mortals alike are in a city-state system, with each family occupying a mountain.

The administrative structure was terribly loose.

One mountain only received orders from one deity. In the other party's little territory, let alone other deities, even the orders of the God-King were not necessarily effective.

Moreover, the Egyptian pantheon was also very complicated.

In addition to the most classic elemental gods like the Sun God, there were a large number of underworld gods, animal gods, and unpopular gods such as 'void' and 'viscosity,' which could be called abstract gods without exaggeration.

In such a huge divine system, only the Ennead had a relatively close relationship, and most of the other gods were in a state of mutual non-affiliation.

This created a state of primitive dark forest, basically whoever had the bigger fist had the say.

When something really happened, those who were willing to come out to help fight the divine war were generally only their own relatives. As for the other gods who claimed to swear allegiance, it was best to just listen. Horus and Set never took such oaths seriously.

When Set dared to murder even his own brother, the entire divine system, and even the entire world, was destined to be in a state of extreme mistrust between the warring parties.

A bunch of grass-roots kings, and a bunch of so-called gods who were messing around.

This is why Gilgamesh was able to sneak into the Egyptian world and thrive with the avatars of several gods.

After all, apart from the Horus and Set deity groups, which of the other solo Egyptian gods could be a match for these Sumerian gods who committed crimes in groups?

Even if they only sent avatars, they could still pile you to death.

In just one month, five Egyptian gods had directly fallen into their hands.

Borrowing the spoils obtained from the victims, those gods of Sumerian origin had gradually completed the localization of their divine power, and the world was no longer targeting and suppressing their divine power.

After Hela understood, she smiled and said: “Your Majesty, the situation is excellent!”

Downs nodded: “As long as we increase the intensity of avatar projection, maybe in about half a year, we can pull out a divine army that is enough to threaten Set.”

Just then, Frey suddenly sent back a message.

“Your Majesty! I have discovered that the number of passages between the two cosmic ocean currents has increased, and the holes have also become larger.”

“Hmm?” Downs narrowed his eyes.

With the divine thought that Frey sent, Downs had a new conjecture—could it be that the two space channels were about to merge?

This was good news!

The God System Battle Royale would eventually have to be decided.

As long as Jötunheimr was brought over, this divine battle could be said to be a sure thing.

But at this moment, Thor sent another message that shocked the gods.

“Father God! Ahead… we may have another world ahead. I have encountered a large number of world fragments and chaotic creatures!”

Eh eh eh?

Downs hadn't experienced such a shock in a long time.

In the past, he would always obtain information about the other world in advance through infiltration, so that his side would have an absolute advantage in the world war.

This time, with the Three Realms standing, it was definitely a big challenge.
