Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 234 Stealing Divine Power
Thousands of people against thousands of people, and with incomplete weapons and armor. If this situation were put in the Celestial Empire, it would probably be the level of a village fight.

It’s different when five giants are added.

It’s definitely a war to annihilate a nation!
How cruel!

According to legend, the huge sculptures outside each of the nine temples are alive.

The gods ordered their servants to build these colossi, and when necessary, they brought them to life to launch the most brutal attacks on their enemies.

It had been a long time since anyone had seen how these colossi moved. Even when wars broke out between the surrounding city-states, there was no news related to the colossi, so that most mortals thought it was just a rumor spread by the other side's priests or the nonsense of poets.

In any case, the legend of the Colossus was not lost in the long river of history.

The legends related to it have been spread across the land of Egypt along with the violent sandstorms.

Its combat capability and might are still being spread around the world through rumors.

And until today, it has reappeared before the world.

The warriors of the Faiyum city-state were all dumbfounded.

This is not a question of courage or not.

These giants, who seem to be one-third as tall as a pyramid, are simply not something that mortals can contend with.

Especially the giant in the lead, who was wearing a hippopotamus-shaped full-face helmet. His agility completely overturned the mortals' imagination that the Colossus was large and bulky.

He's ten times taller than you, a hundred times stronger than you, and can fucking run faster than you. How can you play?
Hrungnir, the strongest giant on earth, is such a terrifying existence.

He was seen advancing with big strides, each step easily covering more than ten meters. In the eyes of the enemy, this was like a mountain hitting his face.

Every step a giant of this level takes would feel like an earth-shaking event to mortals.

I can't even stand steadily, let alone run.

What's even more amazing is that this guy has been holding it in for so long that he doesn't mind playing this kind of 'beating up kids, kicking kindergarten kids' kind of fight.

"In the name of the hippopotamus goddess Tavorit, I sentence you to destruction!" The exaggeratedly large flint club was thrown to the ground and swept away the enemy.

This is truly a sweeping victory!

With one hit of the stick, the stick was instantly covered with minced meat and bone fragments.

The gray-yellow wasteland was a mess of blood and flesh, with twisted limbs and fragments flying everywhere.

This scene was so brutal that it was simply horrible to watch.

With just one move, Hrungnir scared thousands of people on the opposite side.

Sometimes, "terrified" doesn't have to be an adjective.

All the yellow and white stuff was flying out of the crotch.

The most daring of the Fayoums simply turned around and tried to escape.

run?
Can you run away?

In front of this giant whose steps can reach more than ten to twenty meters and whose footsteps can create earthquake effects, even escaping becomes a luxury for mortals.

When Hrungnir and a few giant brothers blocked the retreat of those guys, their own mortal infantry had not yet reached the enemy's formation.

It turns out that Gilgamesh's army of thousands of mortals were just there to make up the numbers.

Well, that's not entirely true.

With these guys, at least there are people to guard the prisoners.

Seeing that the battle was so easy, the leather-covered Pharaoh Gilgamesh, who was sitting on the sedan chair, waved his hand and ordered to take advantage of the victory to attack the city of Fayum.

This is not a war of equal strength.

The walls of Faiyum were not short. The walls of this early Egyptian city-state were three stories high. Unfortunately, in front of Hrungnir, the tallest giant, the wall could not even reach his crotch.

The defenders were so scared that they pissed their pants on the spot.

Normally, it's time to vote.

It was at this time——

A sharp scream pierced the night sky, causing both sides on the battlefield to change their expressions.

A huge and unusual black figure turned into a black gust of wind, jumped out from behind the city wall, leaped a hundred meters, crossed half of the battlefield, and landed majestically in front of Hrungnir the next moment.

After the raised dust settled, a huge figure full of evil and ominous aura appeared in the black fog.

It stood in the wasteland, its black carapace tail towering high, the dark stinger higher than Hrungnir's head. Each of its claws was as huge as an anchor, full of a strange metallic feel. Its solid carapace was many times thicker than the front armor of a chariot.

When this giant scorpion emitting a faint divine light appeared, Gilgamesh and the others finally realized that this was the so-called Scorpion Goddess Serket.

Whether she is a goddess remains to be investigated, but she is definitely a scorpion god.

But she looked a bit miserable, because she was missing a scorpion leg on her left side, and at least a quarter of her carapace was gone. The remaining parts also had clear cracks, and an adult human could easily insert a thigh into them.

Serket spoke in human language as soon as he came up, screaming: "Impossible! I have poisoned that ugly hippopotamus! If she really had the ability to summon giants, she would not have died. Who are you?"

These words made Gilgamesh and the others a little nervous.

No, a giant beast that can talk is called a god?
Then if their giant earthly snake Jörmungandr came to Egypt, wouldn't he at least be able to become a main god?

Poor Jörmungandr is just a sacred beast among the Aesir.

By the way, isn’t this Egyptian god a bit too casual?
The gods who originated from Sumer were a little embarrassed.

On the contrary, Cu Chulainn, who looked like he didn't care about meat or vegetables, stepped out with his magic spear on his shoulder: "How about you give it to me?"

Gilgamesh smiled and said, "Okay."

"It's a deal." Cu Chulainn stepped out and, according to the pre-arranged script, he said loudly: "I am the servant of the Hippopotamus Goddess - [God of the Spear] Cu Chulainn! You have committed the sin of injuring my lord, so I will let you atone for it with your divine body -"

'Dog Brother' Cu Chulainn never liked to talk nonsense, and he would just rush forward regardless of whether the other party answered him or not.

"What? That bitch can still support a follower of God?" The Scorpion Goddess didn't know whether to be shocked or stunned. Anyway, the guys opposite her all looked mysterious.

But before she could study it carefully, a god from the other side suddenly came to kill her.

"No, wait..."

So fast!

The Scorpion Goddess's movements were actually not slow. Her huge black scorpion pincers slammed onto the wasteland in front of her. The huge impact force caused the ground to explode instantly, and countless pieces of rubble spread out in all directions, like a small firework.

Her counterattack was meaningless, and even her dodging after she sensed the magic spear was launched was meaningless.

[Piercing Death Thorn Spear] This thing can only be countered by a more mysterious treasure or artifact, or by having an incredible amount of luck to dodge the vital points.

Instead of dodging in vain, it would be better to counterattack and kill Cu Chulainn first to decide the outcome directly.

Obviously, she was not used to this kind of life-threatening attack.

Even though he clearly felt something was wrong, he still hoped to rely on his thick shell to block the attack from the magic spear.

This is the natural flaw of animal gods; they always rely too much on their powerful bodies.

That was good. The crimson magic spear tip nimbly bypassed her carapace, deftly pierced through a wound, and then pierced her heart completely.

"what--"

A scream!
Scorpion goddess, fallen!
The first unlucky person in the Egyptian world whose divinity was stolen by a foreign god appeared.
