Chapter 441 - Unreaching Voice (4)
A brown-haired woman had her eyes closed inside a white meeting room in the Hall of Protection. She then slowly opened her eyes after deep thought.
“As I’d thought,” she muttered as she sighed deeply. “It seems I’ve made a hasty decision.”
Gaia, the brown-haired woman, expressed deep regret. The law of keeping the gods in the divine realm that she had announced caused immense shock among the gods.
‘Ragnarok.’
Her decision might cause the war among gods passed down in Norse mythology.
“Haaa.”
Gaia closed her eyes again. Oh Kang-Woo had a point; if the gods were allowed to do as they wanted in the physical realm without any restrictions, the destruction during the Day of Calamity would pale compared to the chaos that would ensue.
‘If something like that were to happen when Earth’s protection is gone... the world would self-destruct before the Demon of Prophecy even gets a chance to devour it.’
It was unavoidable, so Gaia announced the law as Kang-Woo suggested. However...
Gaia closed her eyes tighter as anxiety flushed over her. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t help but wonder if she could have made a better choice.
‘At least the opposing faction is gathering around Odin.’
Odin was the furthest thing from being evil; his desire to protect the world was real since he had once been Earth’s guardian deity.
“Uranus,” Gaia called.
“Yes, Lady Gaia,” Uranus replied as he approached Gaia.
“How is the situation in Asgard?”
“As I have mentioned, gods who oppose the law you have announced are gathering there.”
“...”
“However, they do not seem to be preparing for an assault yet. A few gods from radical factions are pushing for a war, but Odin has been suppressing them personally.”
“Odin has?”
“Yes.”
“...”
“Ah... but I have heard that Odin’s actions have become strange after meeting Heimdall not long ago.”
“Strange?”
“Yes. I do not know why, but unlike how he usually inspects the situation outside the palace daily, he has been screaming inside the palace all day... I still have yet to acquire any details.”
“Hmm.”
“But from the circumstances we can see, it is true that Odin is trying to avoid a war.”
Gaia’s eyes sank.
‘Perhaps...’
She thought of the possibility of being able to resolve this chaotic situation without a war.
‘Although my child has said that talking is meaningless.’
There was no better way than avoiding a war through negotiations.
‘I should try to talk to him.’
They had made far too hasty of a decision due to the collapse of Earth’s protection and the fact that the Demon God’s heart fell into the hands of the Demon of Prophecy.
‘I was too impulsive.’
The fact that Kang-Woo easily overpowered her retainer Zeus also impacted her decision greatly because she was sure that even if a war took place, they would be able to win as long as Kang-Woo and Olympus joined forces.
However, Gaia did not expect Odin to be so assertive. She never thought that Odin, who had been Earth’s guardian deity before her, would completely oppose her decision and form an opposing faction.
“Odin,” she muttered faintly.
‘A war against Odin must be avoided.’
The physical realm would without a doubt be affected by a war between gods.
‘It’s not just that.’
“Hahahaha! I was just joking.”
Zeus smiled slyly as always and turned around. He slowly turned into white powder and began to disappear; he was canceling his manifestation in the physical realm and transferring his body back to the divine realm.
“In that case, I will be off.”
Zeus bowed lightly and waved. He then disappeared from Earth completely.
“Please.” Gaia brought her hands together. “May my voice reach him...”
The goddess of parental love prayed sincerely.

“What?” An old man wearing an eyepatch over one eye was sitting inside an enormous palace. “Zeus... has come here?”
“Y-yes, my lord.” The confused Heimdall nodded.
Odin, the old man with an eyepatch, frowned aggressively. “Has he come to declare war?”
Odin then shook his head. Olympus had already declared war the moment they sent him Thor’s head. There was no point in them sending an envoy to directly declare war.
“What will you do? Just say the word and I will eliminate Zeus—”
“No.” Odin raised his hand and shook his head. “Let him in.”
“L-let Zeus in?!” Heimdall yelled. “He is the son of our mortal enemy who killed Thor!”
Odin stared at Heimdall furiously in silence. “I told you to let him in.”
“Yes, my lord.” Heimdall nodded as he bit his lip.
Creak.
A sly-looking blond man walked through the palace doors. Zeus bowed lightly to Odin.
“Why have you come?” Odin asked as he stared down at Zeus with sunken eyes.
He could not imagine for what reason his mortal enemy who killed his son had sent her child as an envoy.
“I have come to relay Mother’s— I mean, Lady Gaia’s words.”
“Gaia’s words?” Odin frowned aggressively.
Zeus nodded and continued, “Lady Gaia would like to converse with you, Lord Odin.”
“What?”
The atmosphere within the palace froze. Odin clenched the armrest of his throne to the point that it could break. He glared at Zeus in front of him with deep resentment.
“She wants... to talk?” Odin stammered.
His white beard trembled as if he was experiencing the greatest humiliation of his life.
“Yes, that’s correct.” Zeus lowered his head.
“Hah.” Odin smiled and lowered his head. “Hah... Hahahahahahaha!!!!”
Rumble—!!
Enormous energy stormed within the palace.
“Lord... Odin?” Zeus looked up at Odin in confusion.
Crack.
Odin stood up from his crumbled throne.
“Gaia, Gaia, Gaia... How much will you insult me until you are satisfied?”
“What do you...”
“Hehehehe, very well.”
Odin looked down at Zeus in animosity. He slowly walked down toward Zeus and grabbed him by the neck.
“Kurgh!”
Odin had once been at the pinnacle of all Earth’s gods. There was no way Zeus would be able to resist him.
“Gaia...” Odin mumbled as he choked Zeus. “I will make sure you feel the excruciating sorrow... of losing your child.”
