Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 287 The war begins

In a starry sky, the gods advanced toward Musurida in a dense formation, with no more than one light-year between them. After all, a light-year is just a distance that only takes a few minutes for a god to travel. Moreover, gods can use spatial teleportation to arrive in an instant, so this formation can indeed be described as 'dense' for gods.

Along the way, the gods destroyed countless planets, and in order to protect his people, Agreed immediately led his men to intercept the enemy.

Because Agreed did not make any attempt to conceal himself, Odin discovered his presence immediately and warned the gods accompanying him.

So all the gods quickly gathered together, ready to prevent Agreed's sneak attack. At the same time, to prevent Agreed from detonating the universe and destroying it like last time, all the gods held beacons leading to the World Tree in their hands, ready to escape from here and avoid any possible traps.

Agreed slowly flew to the opposite side of Odin. At this moment, Agreed's every move brought great pressure to the gods. Zeus was surrounded by lightning and was ready to strike, while the other gods were also preparing their killing moves, just waiting for an opportunity to start a great battle.

At this moment, Agreed calmly spread his hands to indicate that he had no intention of fighting here. Then he transmitted his voice to Odin and Zeus, saying, "My two god-kings, let's fight somewhere else. If this universe is destroyed, you will lose many believers, won't you? Let's go to the void. To show my sincerity, you can open a portal and decide where the duel will take place. What do you two god-kings think?"

Odin and Zeus fell into deep thought. Agred's subtle suggestion made them think. From every perspective, this suggestion would benefit Odin and Zeus. After all, the void was so vast and they could choose their locations randomly, so there was no possibility of enemy deployment or ambush. Moreover, what Agred said was indeed true. The more believers there were in the multiverse, the more secure their faith power would be. Agred's request seemed to have no reason to refuse.

Odin thought for a moment, still puzzled, and asked, "It's possible, but why would you give up your home advantage? I need a reasonable explanation."

Agreed helplessly spread his hands and replied, "Who wants to fight in their own home? Whether you win or lose, the house will be a mess. Just do me a favor, and that way you'll get a complete and more valuable 'new home' after you beat me, right?"

Zeus, without wasting any time, immediately opened a spatial portal and shouted, "Enough talk, let's end this battle quickly, I'm getting impatient!"

As Zeus led his giants through the portal into a certain part of the void, Odin, seeing this, also led his gods into the void with some skepticism. Agreed did not take this opportunity to ambush them, after all, his original purpose in making this suggestion was to protect his people.

Despite Agreed's appearance, to be honest, among the gods, perhaps no one cares more about the common people than Agreed. After all, those lives are merely 'lower beings' and 'believers' akin to livestock in the eyes of the gods. What Agreed is doing now is doing his best to prevent those ordinary people from being drawn into this war between the gods.

This inexplicable act of mercy was seen as childish and contemptible by the gods. Although the war had not yet begun, Agred's actions had already made those gods who believed in him look down on him. After all, they had originally thought that the terrifying Dragon God of Destruction was a ruthless and decisive killer, but now he seemed to be nothing more than a weak and indecisive waste like those lower beings.

However, they will soon realize that kindness and cruelty are not contradictory in a single life, and can even coexist harmoniously.

Agreed led his men into the portal torn open by Zeus. Before all of Agreed's men were inside, Zeus and Odin's gods unleashed their pent-up killing moves. Agreed then spread his wings to protect his subordinates while turning his back to the gods to shield them from the combined attack.

Of course, Agreed wasn't foolish enough to just take the enemy's attack head-on. He used his wings as conductors to transfer the massive divine power to his surroundings, minimizing the damage from the divine technique and releasing all the remaining energy.

Three minutes later, all the monster leaders entered the void. Agreed instantly picked them up and teleported them a short distance away, avoiding the range of the gods' attacks. Upon seeing this, the gods withdrew their divine power, ending this unsportsmanlike surprise attack. At the same time, Agreed's terrifying physical defense shocked them. Although the attack had not reached its peak power because the high-ranking gods did not participate due to their status, the combined power of tens of thousands of gods of faith was terrifying, and it had not even broken through Agreed's defense!

Agreed released his men and then shouted at Odin and Zeus, "Don't you think it's a bit too shameless for gods to resort to sneak attacks?"

Zeus snorted coldly and replied contemptuously, "The dogs below are indeed a bit unruly, but we really can't control them. Anyway, we didn't get involved, so you don't need to gossip here. But we don't care about your despicable methods, because we came here to win. Not colluding with them is the dignity and bottom line of us strong. You should know that if we had attacked you just now, you would definitely not be standing here unharmed."

Upon hearing this, Agreed nodded in agreement, replying, "Indeed, after all, a lackey with manners and upbringing wouldn't willingly submit to a god. So, I thank you all for your leniency this time. Now... let the battle begin!"

As he spoke, Agreed transformed into a droplet and charged toward Zeus. At the same time, he telepathically instructed his subordinates to proceed according to the original plan and help him hold off the lower-ranking gods.

Zeus instantly transformed into a black giant over a hundred meters tall, and raging lightning erupted from his palms, striking Agreed, who was flying towards him. Unfortunately, the power and attack of the lightning were completely dissipated by Agreed's teardrop form. Then, Agreed crashed straight into Zeus, carrying him away into the distance. Odin, Heimdall, Thor, Bergermir, Tyr, Baldr, Vida, Frey, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Heracross, Persephone, Athena, Helios, Ares, Prometheus, and Typhon, Zeus's cousin and father of monsters, all these powerful gods immediately gave chase.

It is worth mentioning that among these gods, Typhon, the father of demons, had always been at odds with the other gods, but Zeus, considering the power of the gods, still offered him great benefits to win him over.

The reason Odin and these powerful gods gave chase was simple: to capture the leader first. They planned to take down Agreed first, and then the remaining minions would fall by their own.
