"Suffer it!"
Odin was shocked. He was already trapped before he could think of how to deal with the 'rules themselves.'
Being directly hit by the 'rules themselves,' even as the 'main god,' Odin couldn't bear it. Gods are the incarnations of rules, the embodiment of concepts, and are nurtured by the world. Thus, colliding with the 'rules themselves' is like an unstoppable force.
Although the collision of rules won't cause mutual annihilation or even result in significant losses for either party, the god's essence will be defeated. This is equivalent to the 'incarnation of the rules' losing their divinity and returning to a pure state.
The arrows condensed by the 'Law of Wind' shot directly into Odin's body, one after another. There was no harsh sound, no exaggerated light and shadow—just like an ordinary arrow hitting its target.
Buzz!
It was at this moment that Barbatos' power, which had been 'liberated' by the 'Gift of Truth,' was sealed. The forcibly controlled 'Law of Wind' collapsed and returned to Asgard. The cage that trapped Odin and the arrows that had pinned him like a hedgehog turned back into flowing wind and disappeared.
Odin also fell from the sky, and even Gungnir slipped from his grasp. His eyes were empty. At that moment, his consciousness was temporarily defeated.
Barbatos took a deep breath, exhaustion evident in his eyes.
"Although the temporary release of 'authority' can increase strength, it almost causes 'authority' to shatter into pieces." If 'authority' cannot withstand 'liberation,' it will easily be torn apart. Therefore, becoming the 'Supreme God' is no simple task. To truly become the 'true king' of rules, one's authority must reach that level. Otherwise, if one's virtue does not match their power, disaster will follow.
Odin fell from the sky, and this scene was reflected in the eyes of the warring Nordic gods. A flash of panic lingered over them.
The great god Odin was the strongest among the Nordic gods. If even he lost, could the Nordic gods still hope to win?
Brünnhilde, who was fighting against Jean, shouted, "Lord Odin!"
Jean, looking at the aqua-haired Valkyrie who had fought her for dozens of rounds, said, "Your main god has been defeated. Do you still want to continue? If you are not convinced, I will stay with you until the end."
Brünnhilde looked back at the alien god who had been suppressing her. "Does that need to be said? You haven't won yet. I am the eldest sister of the Valkyries!"
After saying that, she thrust her spear once again. Although she spoke boldly, her fighting spirit had significantly diminished. After all, the backbone of the Nordic world had been defeated, and the morale of the entire Nordic world had dropped to freezing point.
**The Land of Fairies**
This is a world where elves, various flower fairies, and tree fairies live. The main god here, the forest god Vader, felt Odin's defeat and was momentarily distracted. He was bombarded by ten forces carrying the rules of water and incomprehensible authority. The divine power of the forest collapsed instantly, and the entire god was hit by a massive water column falling from the sky.
Boom!
A large lake that resembled an ocean appeared instantly in the Land of Fairies. Huge emerald trees suddenly grew in the center of the lake.
"Ahem... I was careless. What kind of authority do you have, and why can you assimilate life?" Vader clutched his chest, looking at the one who had severely injured him. A drop of divine blood fell from the corner of his mouth into the lake. The breath of life spread, but it was dissolved in the water the next moment.
Villette walked on the lake with a cane, speaking calmly. "This is the original water... something that your world does not possess. All life is born from the 'primordial sea of wombs,' and the original water is pure water that no longer contains the power of 'creation.' There is no point in continuing a losing battle."
Vader sighed. Odin had been defeated, he was severely injured, and the Fire Giant King Surtr was no match for the other god. Although the invaders were polite and hadn't killed Asgard's life, they were still intruders.
"I admit defeat. What is your name, god of water?" Vader asked.
Villette's old expression softened with a smile. "I am not a god. I am the Water Dragon King, Villette. Now, please join us and the other gods." After saying this, a light orb the size of a table tennis ball appeared in his palm and slowly floated toward Vader.
Vader extended his hand, and although he sensed no danger, as the main god, he could still feel the orb's power. As soon as he touched it, his eyes became dull.
Villette nodded. His mission in Asgard was complete. The next step was to meet up with Furina and then attack Olympus.
**The Country of Giants**
At this time, Surtr, the Fire Giant King, was being suppressed underground by a massive mountain range condensed from divine ice power. His immense strength and all-burning fire could not completely melt the glacier pressing on him. Although both were 'main gods,' the other's 'rules' and 'authority' were stronger than his.
Barnabas stood in the sky, overlooking the 'Scorching Country,' now frozen by her.
"King of Giants, the two main gods of your world have been defeated. You should admit defeat as well." She hadn't used much strength to suppress Surtr. Though this giant king was at the main god level, he was very weak among the main gods.
There was a significant gap between main gods. Powerful main gods could even kill weaker ones in a single blow.
Surtr was unwilling but admitted, "You are too strong..."
As the three main gods of the Nordic world were defeated one after another, more and more gods lost their will to fight and chose to surrender. When all of our generals were defeated, how could the battle continue? It couldn't be won. Besides, although the enemy could kill them, they didn't—instead, they kept knocking them down every time they tried to get back up.
Even those who wished to defend the 'Glory of the Northern Gods' gradually grew disheartened after being defeated repeatedly.
The Nordic gods who surrendered all caught the 'light orbs' thrown at them. At this moment, the expressions of the Nordic gods were complex, and most of the unwillingness in their hearts disappeared.
Before Odin regained consciousness, all the gods in the Nordic world had actively joined Teyvat.
When Odin finally woke, he found the war was over. He was lying on a grassy field covered in flowers, surrounded by the Norse gods. Not far away were gods from another world.
Odin's old face wrinkled instantly as he sighed, "Hey, our Nordic world has completely lost?"
Vader nodded. "Yes, we've lost." Saying this, Vader handed a light orb to Odin with a spring-like smile on his face. "Lord Odin, don't say anything else. Just take this first."
