Brunhilda also thought like that. If Athena truly had only Li Yunmu in her heart, she would certainly return. She wouldn’t cower and retreat in front of her father because of the large attack about to happen on Scandinavia.
When Athena arrived before the two warring camps, and Zeus saw his daughter, he became extremely happy. If Athena could turn into a mole for them, than exterminating Scandianvia would become even more easier.
“Daughter, you arrived at the perfect time! Now is the time for you to contribute to Olympus and become the mole in Scandinavia, then we can coordinate from inside and outside to completely eradicate Scandinavia.”
“Father, your daughter has come to persuade you to withdraw your soldiers and not to act as a mole for you.”
“What are you saying? Withdraw soldiers? Athena, you forgot your ident.i.ty! You are an ancient G.o.d of Olympus, so don’t tell me that you intend to betray your mother country and cross blades with your father?”
“Father, I am married to Li Yunmu now. I am his wife, and he is from Scandinavia. As his wife, I am also belong to Scandinavia. Right now, I came here to representing Scandinavia to persuade you to withdraw your soldiers.”
“Ha ha ha… This is a great joke. Withdraw soldiers? Once Scandinavia is extinguished, do you know what great benefits our Olympus will obtain?”
“Father, you are trying to save a little only to lose a lot. Do you really think Scandinavia’s territory is so easy to obtain? If the Eight hadn’t enticed you by some small benefits, would they have allied with you to battle against Scandinavia? Can’t you understand the principle of temporary dependence? You mustn’t put yourself into dire straits because of some small profits.
“You should clearly understand the strength of the Eight. Earlier, you allied with the Scandinavian G.o.d Council and were still only able to defeat them with great casualties. Yet now you are joining them to eliminate Scandinavia. After it is destroyed, the only remaining target of the Eight will be you father!”
Zeus snorter coldly. “Nonsense! Your father possess a vast territory with abundant resources. Why should I fear the Eight? Even if they want to battle us, we can join together with the Two Poles of Morning and Evening to deal with them.”
“Have you possibly not heard the news? My husband Li Yunmu unified the Two Poles of Morning and Evening and is their benefactor. You are trying to destroy their benefactor’s country, so do you really think that the Two Poles of Morning and Evening will still join your side
“Even if your previous relations.h.i.+p with Two Poles of Morning and Evening was very good, that cannot determine the future. If there’s a day when they change sides, what will you do? You will be isolated and without help! Clearly, Scandinavia with which you are related by marriage is your only true friend, but you want to destroy them for a little benefit. What about leaving yourself a path of retreat, father?”
Hearing Athena’s logic, Zeus couldn’t help but take a few steps back. He had never expected his thoughts to be less mature than those of this own daughter Athena.
Her speech struck him like a thunderbolt and made him unable to stay still. He began to ponder.
Athena’s words weren’t without reason. If he continued to obstinately cling to his chosen course of action, then even if he obtained half the territory of Scandinavia after it was eliminated, then when the Eight would attack him, he would be caught unprepared.
At that time, the Eight would spare no effort to destroy Asgard and Olympus. Their Council of Eight had the ambition to unify the entire Origin World, and even the eastern domain had been mentioned earlier.
s.h.i.+va actually wanted to dip his fingers into the territory of the eastern domain. From that, it was clear that his ambitions were even greater than those of Zeus!
“Father, daughter has said what she came to say. If you continue to be dogmatic, your daughter will side with Scandinavia and fighting against you as well as the Eight to the end.”
After Athena finished speaking, she turned around to leave.
Zeus suddenly looked at her. “Daughter, don’t tell me you aren’t willing to return to your father?”
Athena stopped in her tracks, turned around, and said, “Father, as I said, my husband is Scandinavian, so I and Scandinavia will advance and retreat together.”
Zeus took a deep breath before saying, “Daughter, I heard your advice to abandon my attack on Scandinavia. It would be better for us to negotiate it and coordinate an attack from both sides to eliminate the Eight? They have designs on the entire Origin World, and they are constantly looking for ways to awaken their master G.o.d Brahma. They clearly intend to unify the entire Origin World and reign supreme.”
“Alright. I will report it to Odin, so you will need to wait for news back from him.”
Just when Athena left, she coincidentally ran into s.h.i.+va. He glanced at her and then came to find Zeus.
“Your daughter came to see you?”
Zeus nodded with a laugh. “Ha ha ha, yes! My daughter is ultimately the G.o.ddess of wisdom in the Heavenly G.o.ds Council. Just a moment ago, we negotiated about how to deal with Scandinavia in one fell swoop!”
“If we can obtain your daughter’s a.s.sistance, then we can annihilate Scandinavia quickly!” s.h.i.+va’s gaze turned avaricious.
“Once Scandinavia is destroyed, don’t forget about half of my territory!”
“I won’t forget. You just focus on your role!” s.h.i.+va said coldly.
In his heart, however, he greatly despised Zeus, who followed his guidance blindly just for a little profit. He was truly a stupid person.
s.h.i.+va had already planned out in his heart how he was going to destroy the Heavenly G.o.ds Council. After Scandinavia was annihilated, they would capture Zeus’ Olympus. At that time, the entire western region apart from the Two Poles of Morning and Evening would be under their control.
Zeus had his own intentions too, so both sides were scheming against each other.
In the palace hall, Thor was already somewhat impatient. He coldly said, “I knew that b*tch Athena was unreliable. How could she betray her father for Li Yunmu? Just think about it and you will know that this was impossible from the start!”
Odin was the king of Scandinavia, and he rested with his eyes shut from start to the end without the slightest worry despite what was said in the hall.
On the other side, while Brunhilda wasn’t easy to influence, she also wasn’t completely calm in her heart. She wasn’t fully confident in whether Athena would return or not.
Everyone in the Scandinavian G.o.d Council was guessing the time of Athena’s return when she suddenly entered the palace hall and said to Odin, “Many thanks for having trust in me. I have persuaded my father, and he agreed to deal with the Eight together!”
After hearing Athena’s good news, the Scandinavians almost started jumping in joy. The news had come at just the right time.
