Chapter 1481: Sowing Discord
"Unhealed." It was still the same brief reply.
"You've been recovering here for several days, and still unhealed?" The Lesser God disguised as Si Xiaonan spoke with apparent displeasure. "His Majesty the God King is dissatisfied with your recovery progress and specifically sent me to check on you."
Hearing this, Brahma's cracked Buddha face lowered slightly, the eyes in the narrow slits growing cold and sharp.
"A wound to the source... how could it heal so easily? And he's still not satisfied?" A terrifying surge of Supreme God might erupted from Brahma, shaking the entire valley violently. "If he hadn't broken his promise first, how could my Temple of Heaven be destroyed by Great Xia? How dare he order me about?!"
Feeling the oncoming wave of supreme fury, the Lesser God's face showed genuine fear. He bowed his head and spoke bitterly:
"I'm merely delivering the God King's message. Why must you take your anger out on me?"
He paused, then continued, "However, the God King did say that before your Temple of Heaven attacked Great Xia, he did promise to provide support. But he never specified when he would arrive... His Majesty feared that the two divine nations combined might not be able to defeat Great Xia with certainty, so he took the risk and traveled alone to the Cthulhu ruins to seek a method for assured victory. In the end, he also wanted to minimize casualties for both our divine nations.
But His Majesty the God King never expected that by the time he arrived, the Temple of Heaven had already been destroyed... This wasn't a breach of faith on his part. It was simply that he... overestimated the Temple of Heaven."
Upon hearing this last sentence, all four of Brahma's Buddha faces opened their eyes simultaneously, divine thunderous fury filling the valley!!
The surging divine might pressed in around the Lesser God, threatening to tear him apart. Feigning agonized cries, he glanced sideways at a certain tallest peak, a glint of cunning crossing his eyes. He then glared at Brahma and roared:
"Brahma! I respected you as India's Supreme God, which is why I showed you courtesy. In the end, what does your Temple of Heaven's fall have to do with Olympus?! You got beaten by Yuanshi Tianzun and now you're taking your frustration out on Olympus? Do you think we're easy targets?!"
As the Lesser God spoke, a bolt of thunder tore through the clouds and instantly appeared behind him!
Zeus coldly snorted, one foot stomping on the peak as ten thousand bolts of lightning fell, directly forcing back Brahma's Supreme God pressure. His expression was dark and gloomy.
"You're on my territory, and you dare hurt my people?" Zeus said in a low voice.
"Zeus...!!" Brahma roared in fury, eight arms slowly rising as凌厉杀意倾泻而出。 "You broke your promise first, causing the destruction of my Temple of Heaven, and now you dare send someone to humiliate me?!"
Zeus narrowed his eyes and turned to look at his subordinate.
The Lesser God's face was pale, speaking in fear: "I never humiliated him at all. I was merely following your orders to inquire about his condition... He was the same as before, full of resentment in his words. I simply couldn't stand it anymore, so I defended you..."
He briefly recounted the conversation between the two, adding some embellishment to his words. There wasn't really much humiliation involved—except for that comment about "overestimating the Temple of Heaven." Though it did contain elements of humiliation, for Zeus it struck right at his heartstrings.
From Zeus's perspective, he was indeed defending himself and Olympus.
Zeus's expression was gloomy as he gazed at the divine power surging around Brahma. After calmly considering for a moment, he suppressed the killing intent in his heart and spoke as calmly as he could:
"I understand the situation now. It was just a misunderstanding... Since he spoke rudely to you, I'll punish him when I return. But you and I are on the same boat right now—if we fall out, it won't be good for either of us... What do you think?"
Hearing this, the气势汹汹的 Brahma gradually calmed down. As things stood now, without a divine nation or a source of power, Olympus was his best choice to survive the pursuit of Great Xia's celestials... Until he had fully exploited Zeus, no matter how unwilling he was inside, he could only suppress it at the bottom of his heart.
Brahma was silent for a long while, then coldly glanced at the Lesser God without speaking. His figure gradually disappeared into the dust of the valley.
"Let's go."
Seeing this, Zeus turned and walked toward his own peak.
The Lesser God deeply looked at the direction where Brahma had disappeared, then followed behind Zeus.
"God King, Brahma has a treacherous heart. I'm afraid he will be detrimental to you... Should we really continue to tolerate him?" The Lesser God couldn't help but ask.
"Hmph, just a stray dog. If Olympus didn't need the deterrence of Supreme God-level combat power, I would have killed him long ago." Zeus said coldly. "I never expected that after I kindly took him in, he would be so ungrateful."
The Lesser God thought for a moment, then cautiously reminded: "But God King, the reason we needed him in the first place was because you and Lucifer alone weren't enough to resist Great Xia's two celestials and Michael combined. Now that Michael has returned to the Moon, do we... really still need him?"
Hearing this, Zeus raised an eyebrow and secretly calculated in his mind.
"What you say... does have some merit." Zeus said thoughtfully.
As long as Michael wasn't around, even if Great Xia's two celestials attacked Olympus together, he and Lucifer would be confident in holding them off. Looking at it this way, Brahma's presence didn't seem necessary after all?
"Even so, this timing to kill Brahma is still somewhat risky... Let's observe a bit more. After confirming that Michael cannot return to Earth, it won't be too late to secretly kill Brahma." Zeus said.
"God King, you've seen the hatred Brahma holds for you. Although he has become involved in the war with Great Xia, he has never had any dealings with the Cthulhu Faction gods. When it comes to the final showdown, whether he will stand with Great Xia and Michael against us remains uncertain...
If he fully recovers and turns his back on you, disappearing like Nyx, we would not only lose an ally but gain a hidden adversary. Moreover, if he simply leaves Olympus, that might be acceptable—but what if he betrays us at a critical moment in battle?" The Lesser God said with full concern.
Zeus's expression grew darker and darker.
After being influenced by the Lesser God's words, he suddenly felt that keeping a Supreme God with a treacherous heart and overwhelming strength in Olympus was indeed somewhat risky... His thoughts raced quickly.
"I'll think about it carefully..." Zeus didn't reach a conclusion immediately, falling into deep thought.
Si Xiaonan didn't press further. At this point, the seed of suspicion had already been deeply planted in Zeus's heart. She believed that everything she had done could maximally influence Zeus's judgment.
Zeus returned to the top of his peak. Many of Olympian's Chief Gods had gathered here, ready to begin today's divine council.
Standing before the golden throne, Zeus was about to speak when in his peripheral vision, a black elderly figure emerged from below the peak, bringing汹涌的神怒 slowly walking forward...
