Stupid Odin

Many factors determine the outcome of a large-scale war.

There are always some outrageous but unnoticed reasons that can greatly affect the outcome invisibly.

The collision of the Jötunheimr world was a huge event that could potentially cause a real cataclysm, so it was certainly worth paying attention to. What Downs didn't expect was—Jötunheimr's air won!

Yes!

The air won!

This is so absurd!

From the moment he killed the progenitor of the frost giants, Ymir, and began to reshape the Jötunheimr world, Downs infused the world with a large number of physical formulas, such as [the density of air at standard atmospheric pressure and normal temperature is 1.225 kilograms per cubic meter].

This was just a transmigrator with a decent understanding of physics casually refining the laws of the world.

In all honesty, Downs absolutely never thought that injecting so many physical formulas into the world in the form of laws would make the Jötunheimr world invisibly stronger.

When the boundaries of the two worlds fused together and their air came into contact, a one-sided situation arose.

Mortals couldn't see anything, only the deities who controlled the air, or rather the wind element, could clearly 'see'—Jötunheimr's air was rapidly incorporating Sumer's air, which was not bound by laws, into its own laws.

As an extremely primitive world, Sumer had no decent science since its birth. In this world dominated by theology, mortals could not learn any laws that the gods did not grant. Or rather, they dared not learn.

Exceeding the scope permitted by the decrees on the Tablet of Destinies meant a high probability of receiving divine punishment for the Sumerians.

Just like Uruk, the Sumerian city-state controlled by Ishtar, according to the goddess's authority, the people in the entire city-state could only reproduce and fight, and wouldn't or dared not do anything else. The air in the Sumerian world was so primitive that Downs found it appalling.

If the Sumerian world had encountered a world other than Jötunheimr, perhaps the conflict between [air] and [wind element] would have been a battle between weaklings.

But this was a world created by Downs himself, filled with physical laws!

Air density? Fluid mechanics? Air buoyancy?

The physical laws formed after these physical formulas were injected into the Jötunheimr world naturally and spontaneously eroded towards the Sumerian world without Downs even needing to activate them.

In the Jötunheimr world, Downs controlled the three major natural divine authorities: [Sky], [Wind], and [Water].

In the Sumerian world, Enlil only held [Wind].

This did not prevent them from clearly seeing that Jötunheimr's air (wind element) was rapidly counter-invading. This scene was like injecting a large jar of ink into a water tank, completely dyeing a large tank of 'water' called 'Sumer'.

"No—impossible—" Enlil, who was originally ready to go, was about to go crazy.

Before the fight even started, his wind element surrendered?

What was there to fight!

As the king of gods and one of the most powerful gods in the Sumerian world, Enlil could be quite terrifying when he became ruthless.

His divine power seemed endless, so abundant that even the Sumerian gods could only look up to him.

Standing on the edge of the steps of his heavenly temple, Enlil's entire divine body was hidden in the gale, and a large hand of wind element appeared out of thin air in front of him.

This giant hand of wind element was so huge that even placing the entire Iron Forest of Midgard in the palm of his hand would not be a problem.

The giant hand of wind pressed down from afar, and the junction of the two worlds clearly shook.

Countless silver-white threads of divine power spread out from the fingertips of that hand.

These threads of divine power intertwined with each other, emitting a dazzling light, forming a huge net.

Enlil wanted to use his divine will to forcibly suppress the erosion of the wind element laws of the Jötunheimr world on the Sumerian world.

Many air masses spewing into the Sumerian world, under the restraint of this invisible force, heavily crashed onto this net as if they were tangible objects. Even the air masses that triggered law conflicts when Enlil's divine will invaded let out sharp screams.

In any case, personally subduing these otherworldly visitors called [air masses] caused the sky on Enlil's side to shine with a dazzling cyan light.

The Sumerian gods watched this scene in surprise—Enlil actually used his own strength to slowly stop the law invasion from the opposite world.

They couldn't help but burst into cheers.

"Hahaha! Our king is mighty!"

"Did you see that? Opposite god-king, this is our king's invincible power."

"Surrender quickly! Hahahaha—"

Originally, their noisy shouts probably wouldn't reach the Silver Palace, but who told Downs that his divine will was paying attention to this side, and also sent the events happening on the edge of the Sumerian heaven to the mind projection above the main hall of the Silver Palace in the first place.

The anger in the hearts of the Æsir gods and giants was instantly ignited completely.

"Those dogshit gods on the opposite side! If we didn't know better, we'd think they had the upper hand?"

"Laughing to death! Even the world barrier has been blown up by us, and the most capable true god has either been captured or killed, and they still have the nerve to say such things?"

"Kill them! Such fools are not worth recruiting!"

Hatred is always spiraling upwards. Originally, the gods of the two worlds were not good-tempered guys. The Æsir gods have been trained by Downs for more than half a century before they look a bit civilized. Which of those Æsir gods and giants isn't still a divine barbarian at heart?

Now that's great, the other side took the initiative to hand over the knife, and the Æsir gods and giants were naturally not polite.

They howled and followed Downs, striding towards the Rainbow Bridge.

At the same time, in the dungeon of Valhalla Palace.

Ishtar, trapped in the water body, was fortunate enough to see the live broadcast of the battle. This was a mind projection that Gullveig deliberately asked Downs for.

Compared to inefficient physical torture, Gullveig knew very well that for an otherworldly goddess like Ishtar with a one-track mind, erasing her confidence at the spiritual level was the real key to subduing Ishtar.

Coincidentally, after seeing the collective noisy scene of the Sumerian true gods in the live broadcast, Skadi, holding a captive bound by countless death runes, came to the dungeon.

Skadi, holding Gungnir upside down, said: "Gullveig, I heard Heimdall say that you locked Ishtar here. I was thinking, why not send this Ereshkigal here as well, so that their sisters can reunite."

Gullveig looked at the sister gods meeting in the prison, and a cunning light appeared in her eyes: "You did very well."

Ishtar, trapped in the water body, was still jumping around with her divine body, but when she saw Ereshkigal, she widened her eyes in disbelief without accident.

"Gugu (Why)?"

Ereshkigal sat down dejectedly, her expression lonely, revealing a wry smile: "What else? The Jötunheimr world's death goddess Hela is stronger. I couldn't resist the laws of this world, and then I was beaten violently by Hela and her war pets."

Ishtar trembled all over. She didn't dare to imagine what would happen if the Sumerian pantheon was completely defeated.
