Shadow Hack Chapter 742 - Getting Closer

In the Land of Ice, the Eight and Heavenly G.o.ds Council were scheming to enter Asgard. In s.h.i.+va’s eyes, capturing Scandinavia would be extremely easy with Athena acting as a mole.

Right then, he was discussing with the other G.o.ds of the Eight about how to attack Heavenly G.o.ds Council once Scandinavia fell.

Zeus didn’t know what s.h.i.+va was thinking, but he had been dissuaded from his plans by his daughter. Once he remembered that s.h.i.+va wanted to dip his fingers into the eastern domain, he immediately realized that he was extremely greedy. Once Scandinavia was wiped out, s.h.i.+va definitely wouldn’t let things stop at that.

Right then, Scandinavia dispatched numerous G.o.ds to meet the enemy in the battlefield, but in truth, the Scandinavian G.o.d Council had come to cooperate with the Heavenly G.o.ds Council.

Athena slowly followed after the forces.

G.o.d s.h.i.+va knew that it was the perfect opportunity, but he didn’t attack. He wanted to wait until Zeus couldn’t bear it anymore and attacked. Then, when both Asgard and Olympus were busy fighting, s.h.i.+va would eliminate both sides in one fell swoop.

The last time they had fought, the losses had been disastrous, so di Zeus really think that s.h.i.+va would sincerely cooperate with him? He was truly stupid if he did.

But since Athena had come out with the enemy, the plan Zeus had mentioned had to have succeeded.

Zeus sneered at Odin. “Today is the day you die! Daughter, what the h.e.l.l are you doing? Why aren’t you attacking?”

Once Zeus gave this command, s.h.i.+va rejoiced in his heart. Scandinavia should be finished!

But before he could react, the numerous G.o.ds behind Athena quickly surrounded the forces of the Eight without letting a single person escape

When Zeus’ Heavenly G.o.ds Council cut off the Eight’s path of retreat to, s.h.i.+va was overwhelmed with shock. What exactly was happening? Zeus couldn’t be thinking…

Zeus coldly smiled, then said, “Do you take me for a fool?”

G.o.d s.h.i.+va pointed at Zeus and said, “You… unexpectedly dared to trick me? I will kill you!”

“Don’t move! Did you forget how our alliance with Scandinavian G.o.d Council defeated your Eight last time? Today history will repeat itself. I wonder, are you surprised or are you shocked, s.h.i.+va?”

s.h.i.+va’s intestines turned green with regret. How could he have forgotten that Zeus was a cunning and crafty person?

At that moment, s.h.i.+va was forced into dire straits. When he was surrounded by the many G.o.ds, a hint of despair appeared in his heart.

“If thou didn’t have the intention of harming people, would you still find yourself in dire straits?” Oding asked calmly.

Zeus smiled coldly. “If it were not for my daughter promptly reminding me, I would have been completely in the dark. You wanted to reap the benefits while I and Scandinavian G.o.d Council were battling each other?”

Completely seen through?

s.h.i.+va took a deep breath. He had thought that Zeus was someone who only cared about profit and couldn’t see the big picture, and he had been right. However, he had never antic.i.p.ated that Zeus’s daughter Athena would really be worthy of her t.i.tle of G.o.ddess of wisdom.

Brunhilda, who was standing with her spear not far away, spoke to Zeus at that moment. “What are you waiting for? Capture the Eight!”

Heavenly G.o.ds Council and Scandinavian G.o.d Council’s sudden alliance had caught the Eight completely unprepared. Without the reinforcement of the projection of Lord Brahma, they were also much weaker compared to the last time. Because of that, Heavenly G.o.ds Council and Scandinavian G.o.d Council didn’t suffer disastrous losses when battling Eight, unlike the previous time.

Instead, it was the eight who were completely surrounded and suffered disastrous losses. Two of the ancient G.o.ds of the Eight were heavily injured.

When s.h.i.+va fled with his people from the Northern Land of Ice, he cut a sorry figure.

“s.h.i.+va, they had clearly calculated properly. Don’t tell me we should forget it?”

s.h.i.+va smiled bitterly. If they didn’t forget it, then what else could they do? The Heavenly G.o.ds Council and Scandinavia had already joined hands and it would take a long time to split them up. Moreover, any plans he had right then might not even work on the two of them.

When s.h.i.+va returned to the southern field with great difficulty, he was still unwilling to give up, but the Eight had already two injured G.o.ds. s.h.i.+va felt sad in his heart, so he rested and reorganized in the southern field without willing to come out.

The Heavenly G.o.ds Council and Scandinavian G.o.d Council had seized total victory, and Odin took the initiative to say to Zeus, “I hope that after this campaign, thou would sincerely be willing to become the friend of our country.”

Zeus sighed and said while gently caressing Athena’s hair, “I still have to thank my daughter. If not for her reminding me, perhaps I would’ve been hoodwinked by small profits. If I encounter such a problem in the future again, I will definitely enquire my daughter’s opinion and won’t take any action alone.”

The matter with s.h.i.+va made Zeus’ trust in Athena to deepen. Although there were still some differences between him and Odin, that wasn’t important with Athena acting as a mediator.

Athena had also obtained Odin and Brunhilda’s confidence. In the future, she wouldn’t be pushed aside in Scandinavia and would have her own position.

Brunhilda smiled slightly towards Athena.”Younger sister, I welcome you to continue staying in Scandinavia until Li Yunmu returns. But if you want to return to Olympus, that entirely depends upon you.”

Zeus looked at Athena and said, “Let’s go, do you want to return? Li Yunmu is not in Scandinavia, and his strength has also greatly weakened. I’ve learned this from Cangyue Sect.”

“Cangyue Sect? Who is that?”

Brunhilda and Athena were stunned. They had never heard of such an organization existing in the Origin World!

Zeus turned silent for a moment, then said, “It is a newly established intelligence organization. Their informants are in the territory of almost every power.”

“Previously there was an organization called Underworld Serpent, what happened to it? Could it be that Cangyue Sect replaced it?”

Zeus shook his head. “I don’t have much understanding of those matters. The information of Li Yunmu’s strength weakening has been spread by Cangyue Sect. Right now, all of the Origin World’s intelligence network is under their control.

“I heard that they were people from the sixty-six parallel planes. They came to the Origin World to avoid being exterminated and slowly formed their organization.”

Hearing Zeus’ words, Odin, Brunhilda and Athena were greatly enlightened.

“Daughter, then I will return! Olympus needs me, and if not for you, our Heavenly G.o.ds Council and Scandinavian G.o.d Council would’ve been finished this time! I know what I did was wrong, but next time father won’t make such a mistake and will definitely listen to you,” Zeus swore.

Athena shook her head though. “Father I am sorry, I cannot return with you.”
