Chapter 311 - The Pantheons Gather, Saber Rattling
The meeting of the pantheons was the focus of the world"s attention. Countless people around the world were following this important event through various online channels.
This included hundreds of millions of people in Huaxia. Everyone was watching the meeting of the pantheons through various live broadcast platforms.
The live broadcast showed the majestic pantheon standing on Mount Olympus. It was surrounded by clouds and fog, as though it was heaven floating on the clouds.
Right then, there were over a dozen G.o.ds standing in the square before the pantheon. All of them radiated a mighty aura.
"Could anyone who knows these G.o.ds please introduce them?"
"Is there any popular science expert here?"
"These eleven G.o.ds here are ordinary G.o.ds from the Greek pantheon. From left to right, they are Onirii, the G.o.d of dreams, the Anemoi, the Astra, the Potamoi, the Oceanids, the Erinyes, the Moirai, the Horae, the Muses, the Heliades, the Hesperides," a netizen called G.o.d"s Perspective said.
"Interesting. Now I know."
"How do you know so many details? Are you a stellar being?"
At this time, dozens of streams of light flashed across the sky, and then landed on the square in front of the pantheon. The live broadcast room fell in silence all of a sudden.
"Which pantheon is this?"
"Where are they from?"
"It looks like they are the j.a.panese deities."
"The j.a.panese deities?"
"It is the j.a.panese deities. This time seven of them have come. The three standing in the middle are the three G.o.ds of good fortune: the G.o.d of heaven, the Three Creation G.o.ds: Amenominaka.n.u.s.h.i.+, the Central Master; Takamimusubi, the High Creator, and Kamimusubi, the Divine Creator. The two on the left are Kuninotokotachi and Toyok.u.munu. The two on the right are Izanagi and Izanami," G.o.d"s Perspective said again.
"That"s all the introduction. He must be a stellar being. No ordinary person can understand the deities so well."
"Are j.a.panese deities strong?"
"Apparent j.a.panese deities are weak since j.a.pan has been annihilated."
"Yeah. If it weren"t for the rise of the pantheons, the j.a.panese deities would still hide in their holes, suppressed by the stellar beings on Earth."
"Oh, what a shame! Now that all the stellar beings have disappeared, these guys are flexing their muscles here."
...
After the j.a.panese deities, other G.o.ds, including the Norse, Egyptian, and Mayan deities, also showed up.
Afterward, those deities entered the pantheon together, and the journalists followed suit. So the live broadcast was now showing the scene inside the pantheon.
Zeus, the king of G.o.ds in golden armor, sat high on the throne, looking majestic and sacred.
On his left sat Odin, the king of the Norse deities, on the right was the G.o.d of the sun from the Egyptian deities, on the right of the G.o.d of the sun was the highest G.o.d BrahmÄ of Hindu deities, and on the left of Odin was Zorvan, the G.o.d of time from the Persian deities.
Five powerful kings of the G.o.ds, supreme beings, sat high on the throne, while hundreds of other G.o.ds sat on both sides of the pantheon.
The major pantheons had gathered together.
"Everyone, on behalf of the Greek pantheon, I welcome you."
Zeus, the king of the G.o.ds, picked up a winegla.s.s, and his voice was heard throughout the pantheon. "I have been waiting for this moment for a thousand years. The pantheons are going to rule the world. A thousand years ago, the divine power of the lower realm was exhausted. I and the other G.o.ds escaped and left the lower realm to stay in the divine realm. A thousand years have pa.s.sed, and the divine power of the lower realm has recovered. We will return and the lower realm is going to be our backyard again. No one else shall take it from us."
"Well said!" All deities nodded in agreement.
"Now, the foreign devil has come. He belittles our existence and tries to take the G.o.ds" backyard. It is nothing more than wishful thinking!" Zeus suddenly got to his feet. "We should unite to get rid of that foreign devil and make the lower realm clean."
"How dare you, a mortal, trespa.s.s the pantheon!"
While Zeus was talking pa.s.sionately, a few angry voices were heard outside the pantheon.
"The pantheon isn"t a h.e.l.l of fire. Why can"t I be here?"
"You must have a death wis.h.!.+"
b.u.mp! b.u.mp! b.u.mp!
After a short fighting sound, dozens of bodies crashed like garbage into the pantheon.
The G.o.ds in the pantheon frowned as they looked at the dozen bodies.
The dozen bodies cras.h.i.+ng into the pantheon were none other than Onirii, the Anemoi, the Astra, and other G.o.ds receiving guests on the outside.
They were now puking blood, their brains bursting out as they lay on the ground motionless, breathless, apparently killed on the spot.
"What"s going on?"
"What happened?"
"Aren"t they the G.o.ds standing outside the pantheon just now? Who killed them?"
"Holy moly! Things have gone horribly wrong!"
"Who else besides the Kryptonians could do this on Earth?"
"Things are getting interesting here! While the major deities gather here to hold a meeting, the Kryptonians are coming looking for trouble."
"Here we go."
"Who did this?"
The divine light in Zeus"s eyes burst out as he forced the words through his teeth.
A st.u.r.dy young man wearing silver armor and wielding a silver broadsword suddenly stood up and saluted Zeus. "Father, let me check it out."
"That won"t be necessary."
A lazy voice came from the outside as a young man of two-meter in height with an extremely muscular body walked into the pantheon.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
All eyes were on the young man as journalists scrambled to train their big-a** camera lenses on him.
"Who is this guy?"
"He comes alone?"
"How dare he storm into the pantheon alone? Isn"t he afraid of dying?"
Fervent discussions erupted among the netizens. The face of the G.o.ds in the pantheon changed subtly. They all stood up at once when they saw the young man"s attire.
"A Kryptonian!"
"You are all not blind at least."
The young man yawned. "At first, I tried to ignore you all, a bunch of arrogant beings who self-proclaimed as G.o.ds. But you all have overreached yourselves by convening a self-defeating divine meeting. So I thought I might as well come and take a look. I didn"t expect that these guys were blind. They didn"t recognize me. Instead of saying h.e.l.lo they greeted me with their fists. No way I will take this lying down. But I didn"t know that they were so weak, a bunch of rubbish."
While speaking, the young man spat on the bodies of the eleven G.o.ds.
The faces of the other G.o.ds sank. Especially the king of G.o.ds Zeus and the Greek G.o.ds. They were even more furious.
"Stupid Kryptonian, you are asking for trouble!"
The young man in the silver armor snorted, leaving his seat in a flash, and appeared in the center of the pantheon.
He was Ares, the G.o.d of war.
One of the twelve major G.o.ds of the Greek pantheon, the G.o.d of war, strength, and bravery, representing the tyranny and b.l.o.o.d.y of war, and the disaster of humankind.
"So what if I am asking for trouble? Who do you think you are?"
The young man looked at Ares, narrowing his eyes.
Ares, the G.o.d of war, the culprit who slaughtered Lantian Base City, killing five million people with his hands...
This guy had committed a heinous sin.
Blood was on his hands.
