Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 286 The War of the Gods is About to Begin

Loki inscribed his divine nature with an absolutely secret language system, also known as the Absolute Encryption Language. This was a clever way for God to process his knowledge and language. You could think of this language as follows: 'Every seemingly disordered atom actually has a meaning in its arrangement.'

This is why this language is called an absolutely encrypted language. Only by personally arranging the language can one understand its meaning without the aid of a decryption system. Most of the decryption systems associated with this language have very strict triggering conditions. The 'Undead Bible' that led Agred to this path of godhood used this encryption system.

Moreover, the decryption system is distributed according to the creator's will. In other words, only those designated by the creator can understand this language. This means that the system itself has no flaws, and no one in the multiverse can decrypt this language on their own.

After Loki's divine essence merged into Agreed's body, it deciphered the text it carried on its own, and then the following words instantly appeared in Agreed's mind.

“Odin has discovered your existence. They are about to gather all the known gods to attack you and all your forces. Be prepared. I cannot escape this time. My divine essence is yours. Do not absorb it. It can help you deal with the Spear of Eternity. I hope it can lend you a helping hand at the critical moment.”

Then Loki's divine essence merged almost perfectly with Agreed. With the active cooperation of the divine essence, Agreed did not even need an adaptation process to take Loki's fire divine power for his own use.

Agreed glanced, somewhat dazed, at the Flame Godhead that had vanished from his grasp. He still couldn't quite believe the news—Loki was dead?! That madman, whom he considered exceptionally troublesome and one of the most difficult gods to kill, had left this world so hastily.

At this moment, Agreed inexplicably became angry, saying, "First Mammon, and now Loki is dead too. They're all insane lunatics! They're gone, and I'm left owing them favors. Weren't you supposed to be perfect? ​​How come... you can't even protect yourselves?" As he spoke, Agreed's tone suddenly turned melancholic. To be honest, Loki was indeed a madman in his eyes, but Agreed also considered Loki and Mammon as two strange friends. Time had passed, and now there were fewer and fewer people left to talk to. Loki's departure seemed to have cornered Agreed, forcing him to face a fact: he... was alone!

Warwick could clearly sense Agreed's low spirits, so he quickly went over and asked with concern, "Master, what's wrong?"

Looking at Warwick in front of him, Agreed couldn't help but recall the werewolf who couldn't even get enough to eat in the small tribe back then. So he unconsciously patted his head as before. Warwick didn't reject it and even liked the gesture, or rather, only his master could be so affectionate with him.

Agreed simply sighed, "It's nothing. I just suddenly realized that maybe I'm a madman, and all the people I attract and get to know are madmen. But what's truly heartbreaking isn't that I can't get along with madmen, but that all those madmen will suddenly disappear one day, making it... hard to accept some changes."

Warwick looked at Agreed with some fear and asked, "Then... will you also suddenly leave us one day?"

Argreed looked at Warwick in astonishment, thought for a moment and said, "Who can say for sure? No god can predict the future, so... you have to become stronger, Warwick. You can't rely on others for your whole life. Get stronger and stronger, and one day you will surpass me. When that time comes, you will need to find the meaning of your own existence, and you won't need me anymore."

Agreed patted Warwick's little head, then spread his wings and flew towards Mussurida. Odin must have prepared an army of tens of thousands of gods just like before. He had to make plans early, otherwise he would probably not escape defeat again.

Warwick watched Agreed walk away and muttered to himself, "But I don't want to leave you. Master, perhaps you are the meaning of my existence."

……

In the following time, Agred quickly organized his army. All warriors and mages of legendary rank and above stepped forward to participate in the battle. The other soldiers and civilians hid in the small world shelter that Agred had built for them. Although the other soldiers strongly requested to participate in the war, Agred unfortunately sent them all back to the shelter world on the grounds that he was not strong enough.

Agreed mobilized all his resources to prepare, and the Kingdom of All Races was no longer the easy target the gods could manipulate. Warwick had fully matured into a nature god; the Minotaur and Tiga, amplified by the faith power provided by the entire multiverse army, had grown into powerful high-level faith gods; Anubis, having undergone Agreed's transformation and with the growth potential of his undead soul, had become comparable to the Styx River, making him no weaker than the Minotaur and others; the Time Dragon Jerok and the Power Dragon Bresta had also grown stronger with age, becoming powerful beings comparable to mid-level gods; and the three-headed dragon Otto... The monsters achieved godhood through the faith of the people, attaining intermediate divine power. The hundred-headed dragon Ladon, on the other hand, became a divine abomination capable of contending with lower-level gods through sheer strength. Other monster leaders also achieved godhood through the faith they had gained from the multiverse over the years, but their foundations were still shallow and they were unlikely to participate in the highest-level battlefields. Therefore, Agreed made a bold decision to distribute the power of the people's faith in him over the years equally among his monster leaders. Unexpectedly, the immense faith from the entire multiverse enabled these monster leaders, who had just entered the ranks of gods, to grow into beings with divine power on par with the Minotaur and Tiga in a short period of time.

In short, Agreed did his best to upgrade his own lineup to its strongest and best state and waited for Odin and the others to arrive. Odin's army also assembled very quickly. Just as Agreed had everything ready, the World Tree's army of gods began to invade the multiverse.

Moreover, their goal was very clear: they teleported directly to the universe where Mussurida was located via the Rainbow Bridge at the start. The gods' purpose was obviously to strike at the heart of the enemy and completely eliminate Agreed, thereby causing the entire Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races to collapse.
