Stupid Odin

Well, okay, Maeve is still quite pretty.

Downs glanced at her, feeling the horror in this ‘little’ beauty's eyes, and he suddenly burst out laughing: “Pfft! Get yourself together, I still prefer the rebellious you from before.”

This left Queen Maeve completely bewildered.

Downs wanted Maeve to keep being wild? How could she be wild?

Downs was a God-King! He could just send a mortal hero to take care of her. In the face of absolute violence, she was just a doll for him to play with!

After Downs said this, Maeve was so frightened that she burst into tears.

“Waaah! I'm sorry, I, I'm not rebellious at all, I can't control myself. Waaah! Your Majesty, I didn't mean to offend…”

Downs suddenly lost interest and snapped his fingers: “Brunhilde, take her away and teach her some manners.”

“Yes.”

Originally, that's what Downs was thinking, but unexpectedly, Queen Maeve seemed to have some strange characteristics, and she started rubbing her legs together.

Downs changed his mind.

His huge body shrank a circle under the effect of divine power.

A height of two people was still very huge.

A delicate blush actually appeared on Maeve's face, and her voice was like a mosquito humming: “Your Majesty, could you be a little smaller?”

Downs deliberately teased her, turning into a height of one and a half people.

Maeve actually leaned over.

…

On the other side, there were always some problems with the joint army formed by Ulster and Connacht.

There were two reasons for this: the men of the Kingdom of Connacht inherently possessed the attribute of being useless due to a curse.

A wealthy farmer from Ulster, Cú Chulainn, fell in love with the goddess Macha, who had transformed into a mortal woman. Not long after their marriage, Macha became pregnant.

One day, Cú Chulainn attended a grand gathering held by the Ulstermen. King Conchobar's two warhorses won all the horse races, and the audience cheered loudly, saying that nothing could be faster than these two horses.

Cú Chulainn, who was standing by, said that his wife could run faster than them. The king was angered upon hearing this and detained Cú Chulainn, then summoned Macha.

Macha was brought to the gathering, and Conchobar ordered her to race against his warhorses.

Macha said that she was about to give birth and begged the king and the audience to postpone the race, but no one paid attention to her. The excited king threatened to cut her husband Cú Chulainn into pieces if she didn't race.

Macha had no choice but to participate in the race. She raced against the two warhorses and surpassed them. As she was about to reach the finish line, she cried out and gave birth to twins. Before dying, Macha cursed the entire Ulster.

“From this moment on, the shame you have given me will cause every man in Ulster to suffer the same excruciating pain as a woman in childbirth for five days when foreign enemies invade. This curse will last for nine generations.”

This was the reason for the weakness and incompetence of the men of Ulster.

Once the Chaos Giant Legion invaded the Kingdom of Ulster, all the warriors of the entire kingdom, except for Cú Chulainn, who possessed divinity and was immune to the curse, would be useless for the first five days. With the characteristics of the Chaos Giants, five days would be enough to sweep through the entire kingdom.

The only ordinary warriors they could count on were from Connacht.

The problem was that Queen Maeve of Connacht had been ‘sacrificed’ by Siegfried.

As a result, without the queen's call, the soldiers of Connacht and its allied countries were in a state of disarray.

Whether it was Cú Chulainn or Siegfried, they were outsiders and it was difficult to convince those generals.

Just as the generals of various countries were arguing over command, a golden beam of light suddenly descended from the sky above the army camp. From the beam of light, the generals of Connacht and its allied countries were surprised to find that their familiar Queen Maeve was limping out of the beam of light.

As soon as she met Cú Chulainn's fierce eyes, she immediately took half a step back, with tears seemingly in the corners of her eyes, and said timidly: “I'm sorry! Warrior Cú Chulainn of Ulster.”

Cú Chulainn was dumbfounded when he heard this opening remark. His eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

Wait, was this still the arrogant and conceited Queen Maeve who drove a chariot and fought him on the battlefield for three days and three nights?

Could it be that she had been replaced by someone else?

Cú Chulainn's mouth twitched, and the other generals of Connacht and its allied countries were also stunned.

“I, I have been punished by a greater being, and I fully understand my mistakes. I should not have launched this unjust war out of greed. I vow to compensate the Kingdom of Ulster after the war. Now, please let us focus on the overall situation and find a way to organize our forces to crusade against the Chaos Giant Legion.”

In any case, Maeve's appearance gave the Connacht coalition forces, which had a superior force, a backbone.

The following negotiations were extremely smooth. Maeve strongly recommended Beowulf to become the commander of the coalition forces, and even handed over military power, without making things difficult for Cú Chulainn and the Kingdom of Ulster.

After the meeting, Cú Chulainn requested a private meeting with Queen Maeve.

The queen granted it.

In the tent, Cú Chulainn cut to the chase: “Queen, what happened to you?”

Maeve blushed: “Our power comes from the world's will.”

“Mm.” Cú Chulainn certainly knew.

“Because our mortal army is still engaged in internal strife when facing a major enemy, the world's will has invited a God-King from another domain as a powerful reinforcement. I, I was just summoned by him and deeply understood my mistakes.”

“A God-King from another domain?” Cú Chulainn widened his eyes in surprise.

“Yes! This is the choice of the Celtic world's will!”

Cú Chulainn was very conflicted. From his point of view, he certainly didn't want his world to be occupied by outsiders. But the death of his father, as well as the previous God-King of Danu, Nuada, made him understand that relying solely on his own combat power would most likely make it impossible to avenge them.

After thinking for a long time, he sighed. This rebellious and violent Child of Light finally accepted reality.

“I'll leave the matter of preparing the army to you! I'll go to the Emerald Isle first to delay the Chaos Giants' offensive!”

“Okay.” Queen Maeve nodded in agreement.

After fighting for so long, she knew very well the strength of her former nemesis. He was the kind of hero who was extremely good at solo combat. Letting him fight in a frontal battlefield with tens of thousands of people would prevent him from exerting his impressive agility and mobility.

Guerrilla warfare was Cú Chulainn's forte.

After seeing Cú Chulainn off, she quickly summoned her maid.

“Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?”

“Help, help me, my legs are weak, and my whole body feels like it's falling apart. I can't stand up.” Maeve said with a bitter face.

One of her very trusted maids was surprised to find that her queen couldn't stand still and couldn't close her legs: “Your Majesty, could it be that you were beaten up by a giant?”

Queen Maeve's expression was wonderful, with a constipated look: “Sort of, I guess.”

The military strength of the northern kingdoms of the Emerald Isle has been integrated, but it will take more time to unite them into one force.
