Athena does not consider herself a moral saint at all. If she can cause a lot of damage to Azdahaka, and if this damage can be enough to provide resettlement fees for the gods who sacrificed four figures when the merits are distributed afterwards, Athena will do it.
But if you use a powerful grace to get a four-digit number, whether you can lock it down to a three-digit number really depends on luck.
By giving Azdahaka the ability of destiny, you can naturally gamble on your luck.
When fate is on your side, if you are so unlucky that you have had the chance to lock on to Azdahaka many times but failed, then no one can do anything about it.
It's not my fault, I just feel ashamed.
But since Azdahaka didn't have the ability to control destiny, she could only adopt plan B. She gave Azdahaka a reason not to do it herself.
Athena thought to herself, from every perspective, this goddess has won the current situation.
The other gods offered four-digit amounts to lend their favors and sovereignty, but in the end they only received a salary. The rest of the credit goes to me, the proposer of the plan.
The other gods in the little garden also know this.
If the Indian gods hadn't caused trouble, Athena's behavior would have been hated.
Others only earn a living from hard labor, but you make a fortune. Is that reasonable?
The strength of the Greek gods ensures that Athena will not encounter attacks from other gods and Buddhas, but her personal image is also completely ruined - when others cooperate with you, you eat meat while others drink soup. Will other gods still seek cooperation with you next time there is a chance?
When you need to find other groups of gods to cooperate with you, won’t other groups of gods want to cheat you back?
But with the Indian gods taking the blame, the blame is no longer Athena's.
We did prepare a plan to sacrifice those four-digit numbers in an attempt to kill Azdahaka, but the Indian gods were responsible for that ring and it didn't work.
India's simulated star-creation chart crashed halfway through takeoff!
You can't blame me, Athena, for scheming against you, right? If you want to hold me accountable, go find my third brother.
As for the destiny-type attack as the starting point, why not use the Nordic ones, the Zoroastrian ones, or the purely human historical perspectives... If someone really has such doubts, Athena can do nothing about it.
Athena really didn't plan.
The simulated star creation map of the Indian gods is indeed the most appropriate one to use here.
There are indeed destiny-type simulation star creation maps in Northern Europe, but the foundation of the Nordic simulation star creation map is insufficient!
When it comes to the foundation of the simulated star creation map, how many can compare with the Indian caste system?
Putting aside the pros and cons of India's caste system, just talking about its influence, it ranks among the best in world history.
Athena ignored the resentful looks from other gods and Buddhas when they looked at her. The tacit understanding among the gods was there, and no matter what a few confused gods and Buddhas thought in their hearts, as long as there was no actual evidence, it could not be blamed on her.
The seriousness of the matter at hand... Athena thought to herself, is it to the extent that when other gods discuss cooperation in the future, the other gods might bring up the matter again?
It's just an emotional card and can't be used as a real bargaining chip.
The ones that are most hated by the gods are definitely the Indian gods.
After a moment, the gods and Buddhas turned their eyes away from Athena.
After all, the Greek gods have a good foundation, maybe they can cooperate in the future?
——But the Indian gods are exempted.
When facing foreign enemies, the Indian gods may be able to barely maintain unity, but when it comes to cooperation with the outside world, India is out of the question.
The Indian pantheon has no king, no clear leader.
Today you cooperate with Brahma, tomorrow Shiva will come and declare your cooperation illegal.
It is clear from the situation in human history that in most other countries, legislation is counted from the day it is enacted, and the law is not as effective as in the past.
It is different in India, the law can reach the past.
You run a company in India for three years without triggering any Indian laws - and then India enacts a law that stipulates that your behavior is illegal, and they can ask you to pay a fine for three years.
In human history, India's development can barely be described as thriving, and the gods in the box garden have thought about cooperating with the Indian gods.
——But those who really cooperated with the Indian divine song and brought the results from the small garden into human history were all cheated and had nothing left.
Nowadays, most of the gods in the box garden have given up the idea of cooperating with the Indian gods.
In the final trial against humans, they were being cheated. Part of the reason was Athena, but they might have cooperation in the future. Another part was because of India...
If we don't expect to cooperate with you, then who will give you face, India?
Quietly, the aura of the gods began to become strange.
Someone took out a communicator and created a private chat group, on which a picture of a miserable monitor lizard appeared.
Soon, a message appeared in the communicator.
Shakyamuni: Just laugh as you like, I’ll take the merit!
Chapter 83
While Shakya was browsing the chat group newly created by the gods to criticize India, he looked bored, but was quite alert in his heart.
Normally, when the gods hold a meeting, double-digit numbers will not come.
Nowadays, there are only a few people in the double digits present, and Sakya is one of them.
He is different from those two-digit figures whose behavior clearly requires them to remain in seclusion. For those two-digit figures, the mystery of their whereabouts is a kind of benefit, so of course they will not show up.
But there is no reason for Shakya, who is very active in the small garden, not to appear.
Most of the top gods and Buddhas are here. If something goes wrong at the critical moment of the expedition against Azdahaka, the strong people who appear in this meeting can directly reach a consensus - we are all together to monitor each other, and it will definitely not be us who take action.
The strong men in front of them are not all of the people in the box garden, but as long as they occupy the majority of the box garden, this group of people can reach a consensus and forcibly search other big men.
We are not suspected, you are not suspected, we are the majority...you, the minority, don't you have to prove yourselves?
Why didn't you come when the gods were meeting? Don't you take the safety of the small garden seriously?
Time, place, witnesses!
No?
Let’s reduce the pressure first!
You don't accept it? If you don't accept it, you should stay away from this small garden.
We all showed up at the meeting voluntarily for the safety of the sandbox and guaranteed that we were not a suspect. You even refused to cooperate. Now that the investigation has come to you, you say you are innocent?
Therefore, the top three-digit numbers are relatively complete, and there are also some at the two-digit level.
Sakyamuni, Jesus, the Twin Goddesses, and White Yaksha, just these five.
Among the remaining two digits, Uranus was sealed, Typhon was dead, and the whereabouts of Haotian Evil Mother World Dragon remained a mystery.
I don’t care about the affairs of the small garden at all. I just showed up in the small garden and didn’t even come back.
Nuwa is a homebody and has a good character, so if other people don't show up, it can't be blamed on Nuwa.
We also have to eliminate the two-digit artifact Ame no Murakami.
There are only seventeen two-digit numbers in the small garden, and these seventeen refer to the three-digit numbers that broke through to two-digit numbers seventeen times, not that we actually know who that person is.
When a three-digit number tries to become a two-digit number, it gathers its energy within the box to perfect its worldview, and the wind of decadence will come to stop it in the process.
When you sense that the three-digit number is self-contracting in the box, it means that someone is trying to break through the two-digit number.
Afterwards, the decadent wind immediately dissipated, which meant that the decadent wind had completed its mission and blew to death the three-digit number that was trying to break through.
Afterwards, the decadent wind slowly dissipated. That was when the three-digit number broke through to two-digit numbers and escaped from the box garden. The decadent wind still had some strength left, but it couldn't find a target to exert its power, so it could only slowly dissipate over time.
Everyone in the box knows that there are seventeen two-digit numbers, but not everyone knows who the two-digit number is.
But what is certain is that those two-digit people who hide themselves all have something to hide.
When a three-digit number becomes a two-digit number, the whereabouts of the three-digit number can be concealed from others, but the resources within human history cannot be concealed.
It is understandable that three-digit people hide themselves when they are planning to break through, and it is also understandable that they do not pursue fame and fortune after breaking through double digits.
But the two are contradictory.
If the number of people in the three digits is not too many enemies, why would they hide their traces?
If you have many enemies, and you try to collect your achievements and reach double digits, your enemies may go against the trend of decadence to interfere with your improvement of the world view and choose to perish with you.
If there are few enemies, it is okay to conceal your tracks, just in case.
But it would be wrong to conceal the achievements.
When you conclude your achievements in human history, such a big move cannot be hidden from other gods and Buddhas.
Other gods and Buddhas can sense which achievement in human history has been concluded and determine who will make the final breakthrough.
If the top three-digit characters have countless enemies in the small garden, it is understandable that they hide themselves.
But if the top three-digit people are the type who are not interested in fame and fortune, and have few enemies, and just for a little "just in case", they would even reduce the achievements they can gather from human history, then they are missing the point.
It is almost impossible for someone to get anything good by deliberately concealing the double-digit number of his followers.
Similarly, all the gods in the box garden know that the number of Kōten in Ouroboros is in the double digits... The problem is that the accumulated merits of Kōten as an individual are not enough for him to reach the double digits.
Although there is no standard amount of merit to reach double digits, and this conclusion is somewhat one-sided, who doesn't go there after accumulating enough?
The time Shakyamuni was promoted to a double-digit rank was because he was beaten up by the Indian gods and Buddhism was in danger. Shakyamuni was enlightened and was promoted there.
There is no danger. Even if Shakyamuni is enlightened, wouldn't it be safer to accumulate for a period of time before breaking through?
You, Heitian, have accumulated merits that seem to be insufficient in the entire box garden, and you haven't encountered any danger yourself. Is it understandable that you have raised your level to two digits? But there is definitely something wrong with your attempt to raise your level to two digits.
The general view in the box garden is that Heitian is just a vest of a top three-digit figure. When he was consolidating, what he consolidating was indeed the achievements of 'Heitian', but in the preparation process, this top three-digit figure also consolidating some of the original body's achievements.
Forcibly restraining one's own achievements violates the rules of the sandbox, but if one restrains one's own achievements in human history by 10% or 20%, the sandbox and human history can be discovered at the time, but the gods and Buddhas cannot see it.
Adding the share that belonged to Heitian, this person actually had the full amount of merit.
The essence of this three-digit number is already sufficient to become a two-digit number, and this three-digit number really wants to become a two-digit number.
But this person took a detour and put on a vest of Heitian, and became a two-digit number under the identity of Heitian, hiding his background and making it difficult for the gods and Buddhas in the box garden to figure out who became the two-digit number.
Anyway, it’s definitely not Heitian, Heitian is just an alias.
——There is a 99% chance that this behavior is due to something fishy going on.
There are really several two-digit numbers hidden in the box. The two-digit numbers that appear in the open may not be clean, but the two-digit numbers that insist on hiding themselves are almost definitely not clean.
The reason why it is almost, there is a very rare possibility that a two-digit number of people did this intentionally, just to make other strong people think that he has bad intentions, so that when someone of the same kind comes to try to cooperate with him, he will stab him in the back.
In the box garden, there has always been a consensus among the top powerhouses, which is to catch those powerhouses hiding in the dark.
