I let the genie out of the bottle

"However, we will not participate. Don't try to drag our pantheon into this. Can you feel it? This great flood is about to begin. Even according to the course of our mythology, this great flood is indispensable."

"So when the biblical mythology brought down a great flood for us, we, the Hindu pantheon, were not angry at all; on the contrary, we were quite happy about it."

Brahma spoke with a bright smile on his two faces, seemingly quite pleased.

"What is this guy talking about?" Loki gritted his teeth, thinking bitterly, "How can I accept someone interfering in my mythological process!"

"It is clear that some circumstances have occurred that we are unaware of."

The one-eyed god-king spoke, letting out a soft sigh. Then, he gently stroked Gungnir with one hand.

The dramatic turn of events at this moment was beyond the expectations of all the gods present.

Unlike the gods of other mythologies, Brahma, having witnessed Lu Ye's power, had no intention of becoming his enemy.

At this point in the Hindu pantheon, Shiva and Brahma had witnessed Lu Ye's power and knew that he was not to be trifled with in biblical mythology. Vishnu, the remaining being, had already learned of Lu Ye's strength from Brahma.

Therefore, as the three gods who are second only to the God of the Bible among the gods of this world, they had no intention of becoming enemies with Lu Ye again.

"Brahma... how could you say such a thing?" Indra looked at Brahma with eyes full of anger, while at the same time, there was a hint of probing.

What happened?

Unfortunately, neither Shiva nor Brahma seemed inclined to answer the questions of the puzzled gods.

Shiva simply ignored it, while Brahma harbored some dark thoughts, hoping that other gods besides himself would also suffer at Lu Ye's hands.

Suddenly, the creator god, who was scheming his own little scheme, changed his expression on his two smug faces, and his smile froze.

Shiva behind him also frowned slightly, revealing a look of resentment and humiliation.

Then, the gods present suddenly felt an immense pressure coming from above.

The sky remained overcast, thick with dark clouds, subconsciously creating a sense of oppression.

But then, a "light" suddenly appeared.

A sacred hymn suddenly rang out, and then a radiant figure slowly coalesced in the sky.

A huge, ordinary-looking face covered half the sky, its indifferent eyes held a hint of mockery, and the corners of its mouth were slightly upturned.

It was a radiant figure, and even those present, all powerful figures from the mythology of this world with unwavering minds, were momentarily stunned.

Its glorious seventy-two wings, enormous size, and awe-inspiring presence that seemed to shake the very depths of one's soul caused the gods of various mythologies below to tremble with fear.

"Hey everyone, what brings you all here?"

Lu Ye made himself appear in the form of Metatron in the sky above the many gods, looking down at them.

"I wonder if you would mind if I joined you all for a get-together?"

Before this, everyone could only conclude that the attack that engulfed the entire world originated from biblical mythology. Therefore, it was naturally attributed to the God of the Bible.

However, when Lu Ye appeared, they realized that the dense, opaque clouds and the impending cataclysmic flood were Lu Ye's handiwork.

Whether it's a benevolent god or an evil god, whether you feel resentment or righteous indignation, it doesn't matter.

When Lu Ye's power manifested above his head, the gods from these different mythologies fell silent in unison.

P.S.: Champion of staying up all night (hands on hips)

Chapter Thirty-Two: We Indians are Warm and Hospitable

silence.

It took the gods present several seconds to finally discern what their subconscious feelings were.

Fear.

This was utterly unimaginable for these powerful and long-lived gods. Especially since so many deities from different pantheons were now temporarily united on a single front.

However, even so, the shadow of death still quietly enveloped their hearts. Even as they looked up at the figures appearing in the sky, the renowned gods below subconsciously felt a sense of insignificance.

It seems that in the other party's eyes, I am insignificant, like a speck of dust that can be swept away at will.

Fear, trembling, humiliation... and at the same time, unspeakable humiliation.

The first to recover from this indescribable silence were the gods of Hindu mythology.

After all, these three gods were not only mentally prepared for Lu Ye's power, but their strength was also among the most advanced of the remaining gods.

"Your Majesty, you have actually come in person." Brahma spoke first, breaking the oppressive silence that felt unbearably oppressive.

This creator god has two faces and four arms, and looks majestic. His appearance alone seems to be able to subdue all evil.

But at this moment, on one of these two faces, the golden skin wore a fawning smile, while the other face showed fear and timidity.

"It was our mistake not to greet you in advance, and we hope you will forgive us. If you come here next time, please let us know in advance, and we will definitely throw a grand banquet to welcome you back."

Brahma took a few small steps forward and bowed respectfully with his four arms, which in mythology could support the entire universe.

This action is exactly like that of a young eunuch in an ancient palace who suddenly sees the chief eunuch.

Seeing Brahma's appearance, the other gods in the mythology suddenly understood the reason for Brahma's unusual behavior earlier.

Through the power emanating from Lu Ye, they could tell that he was definitely a hidden powerhouse from biblical mythology.

The reason Brahma was unwilling to unite against the biblical mythology was probably because he had already witnessed the power of this mysterious being and knew that even if the gods outside of the biblical mythology united, they would find it difficult to defeat him.

Even so, it was still quite unbelievable to them that Brahma, a powerful being who could rank among the gods in the world, would show such a servile and obsequious attitude.

Even Shiva, who rarely showed any restraint except in battle, darkened his face because of Brahma's behavior.

If it weren't for the fact that Brahma took Lu Ye back after he fell unconscious, and Shiva felt indebted to Brahma, then this god of destruction would have long since lost control of his temper.

"A welcome feast?" Lu Ye glanced at Brahma with a bored expression and said casually, "What, do you perhaps plan to have Biancai Tian fluttering in the wind and dancing gracefully for the sake of the banquet?"

In mythology, Saraswati is a multi-talented goddess created by Brahma, and also Brahma's wife.

Therefore, in a sense, this statement can be considered quite harsh.

Brahma's face turned from pale to red, as if a dye shop had been opened.

The moment these words were spoken, the air fell silent.

In fact, many deities have already secretly prepared to join forces with Hindu mythology to launch a multi-pronged attack on Lu Ye, their formidable enemy, once Brahma makes the first move.

However, Brahma's bottom line seemed to be much lower than they had anticipated. No, perhaps it was due to different customs.

After an internal struggle, Brahma managed to force a uniform smile onto his two golden faces.

"I never imagined that the fame of the Deity of Eloquence would reach my ears. If you are interested in him, then my Hindu mythology is always hospitable, so it's certainly not impossible..."

Brahma's voice was initially very soft, but as he spoke, it began to carry a sense of self-righteousness.

However, this statement almost made the eyes of the other gods in the surrounding pantheons pop out. Oh, the reactions of the gods from Greek mythology were slightly better.

“No, no need.” Lu Ye said in a fairly calm tone, “Although there is some truth to the saying ‘when in Rome, do as the Romans do,’ I don’t seem to be able to adapt to your customs here.”

Brahma's ability to say such things in public was probably due to both his timid and weak nature and local customs.

Then, Lu Ye turned his gaze directly to the group of gods below with different expressions.

"So, what is the purpose of your gathering here?"

He spoke casually, his slightly narrowed eyes somehow sending a chill down one's spine. Then, he casually fabricated a false accusation and prepared to pin it on the gods present.

"Could it be that you sensed I was about to manifest here, so you're waiting here to ambush me?"

In fact, Lu Ye came here specifically after discovering that the gods had gathered here. However, as Lu Ye spoke, his expression gradually darkened, as if he were preparing to suddenly attack and hurt someone at any moment.

"If that's the case, then I won't hold back."

As he spoke, several bolts of lightning suddenly flashed through the dense dark clouds in the sky, the dazzling light turning the faces of the gods present deathly pale.

"That's not the case. This place is originally the territory of my Hindu mythology. It is Odin, Indra and his ilk who have gathered here, probably with ill intentions towards you." Brahma immediately spoke up, not forgetting to kick a few people into the water while exonerating himself.

"Brahma!" Indra immediately flew into a rage, holding a radiant vajra in his hand, glaring menacingly at Brahma. Judging from this, if it weren't for the fact that he was wary of Lu Ye, a formidable enemy, he would have already launched a full-scale attack.

"Oh? Is that so?" Lu Ye immediately turned his head, a gentle smile on his face, and looked at Di Shitian, who was furious.

This fiery-tempered and powerful war god would naturally not be as easily subdued as Brahma.

So, just as he was about to leap up, Lu Ye effortlessly suppressed his movements with her aura, rendering him completely immobile.

"Should I call you Indra? Then, may I ask you a simple question: why did you come here?"

Lu Ye looked at Di Shitian with a seemingly serious gaze, as if he was expecting his answer.

"Not cooperating? Then I'll just have to get rid of you directly."

I'd like to cooperate, but please lift the restrictions on my words and actions!

Chapter Thirty-Three: Lu Ye: I am very democratic.

Faced with Lu Ye's pressure, Di Shitian remained silent, his expression cold and aloof.

Even when facing Lu Ye, a powerful enemy, he was not at all like Brahma, who was utterly undignified and servile... This is how it should be.

But in reality, he knew the bitterness in his heart. Lu Ye's oppression seemed to be falling solely on him. That powerful aura made it difficult for him to move.

At this moment, he not only found it difficult to make any movements, but he also lost control of his facial expressions.

In fact, when faced with Lu Ye's power, this martial god named Di Shitian had already realized that he should have a humble and approachable attitude.

Unfortunately, Lu Ye didn't seem to be planning to give Di Shitian a chance to demonstrate his understanding.

It felt like a heavy stone was pressing on my chest, making me extremely irritable and unable to breathe.

Then, the next moment, Indra suddenly felt that the boulder on his chest had been moved.

It wasn't that Lu Ye chose to stop, but rather that another figure stepped forward, blocking Di Shitian's path and also helping Di Shitian withstand the oppressive aura that felt almost tangible.

"Your Majesty, you've come here specifically for more than just showing off your power, haven't you?"

He was a young man dressed in a magnificent Indian-style robe, with jet-black hair and a crown on his head.

The moment he appeared, Lu Ye instantly knew his identity.

Vishnu.

He is the last of the three principal gods in Hindu mythology, after Brahma and Shiva.

At the same time, in contrast to Shiva's "destruction" and Brahma's "creation," Vishnu is in charge of "preservation."

Therefore, in Indian mythology, if a disaster occurs in the world, the one who appears to save the world is often an avatar sent by Vishnu.

Vishnu himself is distinguished by his ten avatars, so the appearance he is showing at this moment is probably one of his ten avatars.

At this moment, seeing Lu Ye's pressure on Indra, Vishnu unexpectedly stepped forward and stood in front of Indra.

It wasn't that he was confident in his strength and could rival Lu Ye. Nor was it that he pinned his hopes on Lu Ye's sudden act of kindness. Rather—

He was able to understand the extent of Lu Ye's power, and therefore believed that if Lu Ye were to cut down the gods present as easily as chopping melons and vegetables and leave, it would be meaningless!

If that's really the case, and Lu Ye is just a strong person who's bored and wants to bully weaker opponents, then he can only accept his bad luck.

But if not...

"Please feel free to tell us what your instructions are, or what your purpose is in coming here. We will do our best to cooperate."

Vishnu spoke in a sincere tone.

"After all, the disaster hanging high above our heads is making us very uneasy."

While Vishnu may not be able to defeat Shiva in terms of sheer power, Shiva is far inferior to Vishnu in other aspects, such as conduct.

Therefore, Vishnu could directly perceive it.

"Don't worry, what's in the sky is just a trial," Lu Ye said, raising a finger and pointing to the gloomy and oppressive sky above.

"A trial, a trial for all mythologies... While the current scene of a diverse and vibrant pantheon of mythologies is quite good, a group of overly weak pantheons would be rather distressing in my eyes."

"So I simply took the opportunity to launch a trial, so that the really low-class myths would be buried in history."

Lu Ye said with a smile.

The diverse myths of this world can all, in a certain sense, become part of his sustenance.

However, if the pantheon is too weak, then even as food, it is somewhat unqualified, or there is a sense of confusion that it is neither tasteless nor worth discarding.

In that case, it would be better to eliminate some of the weaker pantheons first, thus avoiding the waste of resources and allowing the mythological forces of this world to develop in a concentrated manner.
