Chapter 678: Chapter 677: Attitudes of the Major Divine Domains; the Final Battle is Imminent
"What?!"
Hearing the name "Mosquito Daoist,"
Odin could no longer remain calm.
He shot up from his throne.
His bronze, bell-like eyes stared fixedly at Iyaki and Izanami.
"Are you certain that mosquito is connected to the Mosquito Daoist?"
Izanami didn’t explain.
She simply unleashed her Divine Power.
In the middle of the great hall, she recreated the scene of their confrontation with Chu Sheng in Kyoto.
The moment the Mosquito Daoist’s ancient, boundless, and utterly tyrannical aura filled the entire hall,
Odin’s expression instantly turned grim.
He personally felt that despair-inducing pressure.
It was a fear that stemmed from the depths of his soul.
Odin slowly sank back onto his throne.
He no longer looked at Iyaki and Izanami.
He just gave them an impatient wave of his hand.
"Show yourselves out."
"What do you mean by that?!"
Iyaki roared.
He and his sister had wasted their breath for so long,
only to be mercilessly thrown out.
Izanami quickly tugged on Iyaki’s arm again.
Then, she gave Odin a sweet smile and said, "In that case, we won’t disturb you any further, Lord Odin."
With that, she pulled the reluctant Iyaki, tore open a spatial passage, and stepped inside.
After leaving the Extreme North Divine Domain,
Iyaki said resentfully, "Sister, why did you pull me away?"
"That Odin is way too full of himself."
"If it really came to a fight, do you think we’d be afraid of him if we worked together?"
Izanami glanced back in the direction of the Extreme North Divine Domain and shook her head.
"Brother, we’re here to find allies, not to pick fights."
"Falling out with Odin right now would do us no good."
Iyaki frowned.
"But from his attitude, it’s obvious that guy has no intention of working with us."
Izanami smiled.
"Brother, you’re mistaken."
"We’ve already planted a seed of shadow in Odin’s heart."
"All it needs is for darkness to fall, and that seed will instantly grow into a towering tree."
Iyaki paused, stunned.
"You mean... a catalyst?"
"Exactly."
Izanami nodded.
"Odin has already started paying attention to that mosquito."
"As soon as that mosquito once again displays a talent and strength that terrifies him,"
"he will inevitably join our side of his own accord."
"Good."
Iyaki breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked in the direction of ancient Greece.
"Let’s go. To the next Divine Domain."
Izanami nodded.
Following Iyaki, she arrived at the Hera Divine Domain.
Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, stood atop a magnificent palace.
Seeing Iyaki and Izanami arrive, she frowned.
Her eyes were filled with disgust.
While they were still a great distance away, Athena spoke coldly, "What are you doing here?"
Iyaki knew that Athena loathed the special relationship between him and his sister.
He had the sense not to advance any further.
"My sister and I have come to see King Zeus."
"We have urgent matters to discuss."
"The King is not here. If you have something to say, you can say it to me."
Athena said, her face devoid of expression.
Iyaki and Izanami exchanged a look.
They both saw a trace of surprise in the other’s eyes.
From Athena’s words, the two of them had gleaned a very important piece of information.
King Zeus could now freely enter and exit the Hera Divine Domain.
He was no longer restricted by the Forbidden God Law!
Iyaki was just about to state their purpose
when Izanami stopped him once again.
Izanami spoke first. "Since the King isn’t here, we won’t disturb you, Goddess."
"We will come back to visit another day."
With that, she pulled a bewildered Iyaki, once again tore open a spatial passage, and stepped inside.
"Sister, what was that all about?"
After leaving the Hera Divine Domain, Iyaki asked, his face full of confusion.
"We came all this way. Why did we leave without saying anything?"
Izanami didn’t answer, asking a question of her own instead.
"Brother, in your opinion, who has been at the center of all the most explosive news on Blue Star for the past two years?"
"That mosquito, of course."
Iyaki blurted out without a moment’s hesitation.
"For the past two years, almost every major event has been connected to it."
"Heh. Since Zeus can now freely leave and enter his Divine Domain, he’s certainly heard the news about that mosquito."
Izanami slowly explained.
"In Zeus’s eyes, there’s no such thing as familial affection."
"He overthrew his own father, Cronus, so he’s capable of killing anyone who threatens his position."
"And that mosquito’s growth rate will make him wary sooner or later."
"Therefore, there’s no need for us to persuade him."
"When the time is right, he will definitely join our side of his own accord."
Iyaki had a sudden realization.
"You’re right. The effect of persuasion can never compare to him seeing and understanding it for himself."
Next,
Iyaki and Izanami went to the Vedas Divine Domain.
They saw the three main gods—Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva—seated on their thrones.
Before they could even begin to speak,
Shiva, the god of destruction, spoke first.
"We already know why you’ve come."
"We are willing to cooperate with you to deal with that mosquito."
Smiles appeared on the faces of both Iyaki and Izanami.
Just as they’d expected.
Ying Country had long been suppressed by Great Xia, and their resentment ran deep.
They would absolutely never pass up any opportunity to strike back at Great Xia.
"Good."
Iyaki and Izanami nodded.
Without lingering, they turned and left the Vedas Divine Domain.
The pair arrived at the final stop of the Five Great Divine Domains—the Kaimet Divine Domain.
They met with Pharaoh-King Khufu and got straight to the point.
"Pharaoh-King Khufu, we hope to unite all the Divine Domains to kill that mosquito from Great Xia."
"What are your thoughts on the matter?"
Khufu held a golden Magic Staff in one hand and stroked the fur of the golden lion at his side with the other.
"Is one tiny mosquito worthy of such caution?"
Iyaki said seriously, "It’s growing too fast."
"And it’s clearly set against us Ancient Gods."
"If we don’t kill it now,"
"once it has fully grown, it will certainly kill us."
Khufu’s eyes were half-closed, and he didn’t answer right away.
"This matter is of great importance."
"After I convene the council of Elders and we discuss it, I will give you an answer."
Iyaki and Izanami exchanged a glance.
They nodded.
"Very well. We will await your news."
With that, the two of them left.
The pyramid faction had a penchant for being mysterious.
Khufu’s response was just what they had expected.
「Back in the East Japan Divine Domain」
Iyaki looked at his sister, a hint of confusion in his tone.
"Do we really need to be this cautious?"
"At the end of the day, it’s just a mosquito in the Emperor Realm."
"Even if it has the Mosquito Daoist’s remnant soul behind it, with so many of us Ancient Gods working together, should we really be afraid of it?"
Izanami’s expression became exceptionally solemn.
"Great Xia has an old saying."
"’Even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit.’"
"Besides, that mosquito is no rabbit."
"It’s a dragon, one that’s growing rapidly."
"It has many ways to save its own life."
"Relying on our strength alone, it would be very difficult to kill it."
"And if we fail, we won’t get another chance to be revived."
Iyaki fell silent.
Gradually, his gaze grew colder and colder.
"In three days,"
"that mosquito will meet its end!"
