After Cass entered Scandinavia, the country faced the attack of Heavenly Gods Council. Sure enough, they came very quickly. The only difference from the previous time Li Yunmu had been there was that the three Egyptian Gods of Two Poles of Morning and Evening didn’t participate.
Li Yunmu was their benefactor, so it was impossible for them to help the people of Heavenly Gods Council and fight Scandinavia together. That did not change even if there was information of Li Yunmu being heavily injured.
Zeus had actually invited Ra of Two Poles of Morning and Evening to help him eradicate Scandinavia and even promised them some territory.
However, Ra declined it straight away. Just as Geb had said, their Two Poles of Morning and Evening were the weakest force in the Origin World, so they simply couldn’t make any mistakes. They had to carefully weigh everything to keep all sides satisfied.
In the Origin World, the Ancient Lands was the most mysterious region and had no contact with any of the four powers in the western world, so no one dared to infringe on their territory.
But in the western world, the most powerful among the four powers was the Eight. Their ancient gods possessed formidable strength, and they also had the blessing of Lord Brahma, so basically no power could be their opponent unless they joined hands to attack them.
The last time they came out to fight, they were encircled and defeated by Scandinavia and Heavenly Gods Council, so they had to leave depressed and downcast. They had to recuperate from their heavy injuries, so they couldn’t join the attack on Scandinavia.
The second most powerful force was Heavenly Gods Council under the lead of Zeus. Their strength was above that of Scandinavia!
Even without the Two Poles of Morning and Evening participating, Heavenly Gods Council had the strength to eliminate Scandinavia. It was only because Zeus wanted some dependable allies that he went to call on Two Poles of Morning and Evening. Alas, he was directly declined.
“Don’t regret it later! When I capture Scandinavia, the next target will be you!” Zeus said ruthlessly.
After hearing his solemn vow, Ra’s complexion turned more dignified.
“Do you really not want to assist Scandivia?” Osiris asked.
Ra hesitated before saying, “The best course would be to not participate!”
“But Cangyue Sect has spread the word that the news of Li Yunmu being seriously injured is real! Zeus is taking advantage of Odin’s difficulties, so are we really not going to help Scandinavian God Council? Li Yunmu is our benefactor. If Scandinavia is eradicated, Li Yunmu also won’t have a good ending!
“Moreover, once Scandinavia is destroyed, our Two Poles of Morning and Evening will become the only hindrance in Zeus’ plan to unify the western world. Do you plan to continue watching until then?” Geb asked.
Geb and Osiris’ words wavered Ra’s resolution. Finally, under Horus’ urging, he gave the command to move.
“Alright, I choose to trust you this time! I hope that you all won’t disappoint me! Immediately leave for Scandinavia to assist them in resisting the attack of Heavenly Gods Council!”
Upon hearing Ra’s orders, all the gods of Two Poles of Morning and Evening heaved a sigh of relief. Ra had made the right decision. The Two Poles of Morning and Evening would have been in real danger otherwise.
Heavenly God Council attacked as Li Yunmu had anticipated, and he sent the Scandinavian God Council to deal with them first.
Zeus’ repulsive side was finally exposed.
Hera, who was at his side, said to him, “I feel my eyelid twitching fiercely. I fear that something bad is about to happen.”
“What can go wrong? Hmph, as long as Scandinavia is defeated, Li Yunmu won’t be able to live for long! Hera, you are just thinking too much.”
However, he didn’t expect that just when he intended to attack, the people of Two Poles of Morning and Evening would hurry over. Zeus’ heart skipped a beat at the sight of it.
“You all! Ra, you surprisingly don’t care about our former friendship and plan to side with Scandinavia?”
“I believe thou made the most sensible choice,” Odin said calmly.
“Don’t think that I don’t know that after you deal with Scandinavia, your next target will be us. We are only standing on their side in self-defense,” Ra said.
After seeing Ra and Odin joining hands together, Zeus’ complexion turned unsightly.
He coldly smiled and said, “Since this is the case, I will destroy both of you together. It will save me a lot of trouble.”
Odin wasn’t the slightest bit nervous and said to Zeus, “Thou mustn’t forget that thyn daughter is still in my hands. Do you really not care about the life of thyn daughter?”
Zeus was silent for a moment before saying, “Since the day she was born in Heavenly Gods Council, she understood that one day she might have to sacrifice herself for Heavenly Gods Council. Today can be considered as that day she must sacrifice herself, so I won’t stop. Today, your Scandinavia and Two Poles of Morning and Evening will perish!”
When the news of Two Poles of Morning and Evening joining the battle reached Cangyue Sect, their plans were greatly messed up.
“Sect master, what should we do now? The Two Poles of Morning and Evening have also joined the battle, and if the situation continues to develop in this direction, Zeus might not be able to capture Scandinavia. Should we also attack?”
Cangyue Sect’s sect master hesitated for a moment, but after thinking that they might not have such a good opportunity in the future, he angrily said, “What the hell are you still doing? We will assist Zeus with our full strength! We must ensure that he captures Scandinavia; otherwise, our plan will be completely destroyed.”
After his orders, Cangyue Sect dispatched many people to stake their all in the battle. They did not plan to give up until they settled everything.
Soon, the news reached Li Yunmu’s ears as well. He had never expected that the people of Two Poles of Morning and Evening would come to help. He was certain that they would sit still and watch. He had never expected them to be so loyal.
“As long as Cangyue Sect’s people appear, tell me and I will come. Until then, let Ra and Odin play with Zeus!” Li Yunmu said calmly.
When Brunhilda saw Li Yunmu being so decisive, she asked with some suspicion, “Aren’t you afraid of making a mistake? If Cangyue Sect dispatches people, the situation might undergo a myriad of changes.”
“Don’t worry. I have plans, and we cannot be hasty if we want to root out all the enemies. They must’ve planned out their revenge for a very long time, unlike that fool who renounced everything for a small chance. Actually, he still has an even better option that he has not thought of!”
“What option?”
“To pay respects to me as master? He clearly knows my strength, yet he still came to throw his life away. It would be better if he took me as master and carefully developed some ability than turning hatred into power.”
