Chapter 816: Lu Bu vs. Susanoo
Chapter 816: Lu Bu vs. Susanoo
In the main conference hall where the gods were, each of the gods sat in his seat with an extremely gloomy look on his face.
The scene was quite silent for a while, and no god spoke first. Even the usually calm and relaxed goddess of beauty did not let her subordinates help drag the heavy object in front of her chest. Instead, she crossed her arms across her chest with a serious expression.
After a long while, Odin, the king of gods in Norse mythology, spoke first. "Everyone, we have no way out. In this battle between humans and gods, we have lost the first four games. This is an intolerable shame."
"All I can say is that humans are more powerful than we expected."
Zeus, whose injuries had healed a little, spoke up and said that he was killed by Adam and was brought back to life after a long period of rescue.
If he was not the king of gods in Greek mythology and had been powerful to begin with, he would have had no chance of surviving Adam's final attack.
"What should we do then? Are we not only going to lose the game and let humanity continue, but we will also have to have our heads shaved in disgrace during the game?"
Poseidon, the god of the sea, spoke with coldness in his eyes, and it seemed that he could no longer hold back and wanted to take action.
"Don't be so anxious. Humans may not always win."
Beelzebub, the Lord of the Flies, spoke up. He didn't really care about the outcome of the game. After all, in his opinion, it was just an entertainment activity for the gods.
Although there is such a law for the confrontation between humans and gods, it is an old law of the gods' world. If the gods really don't want to abide by it, they can just overturn it.
The most important reason for organizing such a great war between humans and gods was that it was old man Zeus who made the final decision, and the gods could not tolerate Brunhilde's provocation, so they agreed to it.
As a result, even the god Zeus, who wanted such a fun event the most, lost, so this event definitely cannot be considered an entertainment activity.
After losing four games in a row, all the gods had lost all their face, especially the gods of the Norse pantheon. They all had gloomy faces because Loki and Thor were from their tribe.
Strictly speaking, their Norse pantheon had already lost two games and was the most shameful side.
"The reason why humans are so powerful is probably because there is a traitor among our gods."
As Odin spoke, his eyes swept over to Shakyamuni, who was sitting on his back with his feet up on the table. Shakyamuni looked as if nothing had anything to do with him, with a lollipop in his mouth, and seemed to be asleep.
"Shakya, do you have anything to say?"
Poseidon, the god of the sea, looked at Shakyamuni. He was a stern and serious man, and his tolerance for traitors among gods was almost zero.
Shakyamuni raised his eyelids and asked, "What does it have to do with me?"
"I just want to ask you if you are a traitor."
Poseidon, the god of the sea, had a cold voice. It had been four games in a row. The gods were not fools. How could they not see the abnormality in human strength?
Normally, it is impossible for humans to have god-like powers. If what the gods saw of Lu Li and Ran Chenzi was not real enough, then the powers in Adam and Xiang Yu were definitely not something they originally possessed.
Especially Xiang Yu. His history can be verified. No matter how brave he was, he was still a human being. It was impossible for him to have the power of a god, let alone kill Shiva in just a few moves.
It's not just because of the weapon. In addition to obtaining the divine weapon Overlord Spear, Xiang Yu also has the power of gods, which is not something the Valkyries can do.
As far as they know, the only god in the divine world who can allow humans to coexist with gods and gain power is Sakyamuni.
Shakyamuni sat up a little straighter, "So what?"
His words were like an admission, exposing himself before the gods without any scruples.
"Shakya..."
Poseidon's voice was cold, and the other gods looked at Shakyamuni with unfriendly eyes.
But this is the realm of gods, not a place where gods can fight at will. In addition, the two big guys, Zeus and Odin, did not speak, so the others did not take any action for the time being.
"Shakya, what good will it do you to stand on the side of humans?"
Beelzebub asked.
Shakya stood up and picked up the scepter placed aside. Since he had been exposed, there was no reason for him to stay here. He walked straight out the door. "My Buddha is merciful and saves the world. What else do you need?"
The gods were speechless for a moment, and some of them who originally did not support the destruction of mankind began to think deeply.
In fact, the original proposal to destroy humanity passed by the Council of Gods was supported by more than 90% of the gods.
But after summoning all the humans in history to organize this competition, some gods began to regret it.
Mainly, they recalled the time they spent together with others and recalled the glory that humanity once had.
In fact, ironically, among the powerful gods responsible for participating in the competition, quite a few voted against it at that time.
It’s just because they are considered strong among the gods. Now that the proposal has been passed, with the recommendation of everyone, they can only fight on behalf of their respective gods.
After Shakya left the meeting hall, Odin took charge of the situation again. "Although things are not going well for us, it is not the last moment yet. We just need to think about how to win next."
"But Lord Odin, in the next battle, we will be the first to choose to fight the Chosen One. This is very disadvantageous for us. What if..."
Youshen spoke up, thinking that if they lost another game, it would be even more embarrassing.
Odin glanced coldly at the god who was speaking, and then continued: "So, we need a god who is familiar with humans and is confident of winning to play in the next game."
He carefully reviewed the games of the past few days. In fact, the gods were not necessarily inferior to humans in strength. In many cases, they just suffered from the lack of intelligence.
And there is one thing that all gods have to admit, that is, in terms of malice, gods are inferior to humans. In the field of calculation, even Loki, the strongest trickster in the world of gods, can only be defeated helplessly by Ran Chenzi.
Therefore, Odin believed that gods who did not understand humans and who were unaware of the capabilities of the other party's magic weapons would easily fail accidentally.
The so-called "carelessness" is a problem that many gods have, because they are too arrogant. They often suffer a great loss before they have even used their full strength, and as a result, they may die before they can even enter the second stage.
This is the case with Shiva. As the most powerful god in Indian mythology, he has stronger combat capabilities, but he tried to show off to Xiang Yu, and ended up being stabbed to death by Xiang Yu before he could even get into action.
Odin would never allow such a thing to happen again, so he hoped that the battle would be led by gods who were familiar with humans, knew how powerful humans were, and were willing to face up to the other side's power.
For the gods, this war between humans and gods only involves face and whether humans can continue to survive. To put it bluntly, it is not a big deal.
After all, if humans continued to live, there would be no harm to the gods, at most it would be a loss of face. But for Odin, it would be a big problem, as it would affect his plans.
"Let me do it."
At this time, one of the main gods stood up. It was Susanoo from Japanese mythology.
He had a sunny smile on his face. "No one knows humans better than me. I learned swordsmanship from humans. I will win even if I bet on my honor."
The reason why he added the last sentence was that he was afraid that some people would think that he would go easy on humans. After all, when he voted, he voted against the destruction of humans.
The main gods looked at each other, and finally Odin nodded first, and the other gods also expressed their agreement.
After all, Susanoo is quite powerful, and he is very familiar with humans. I believe that as long as he gives his all from the start, he can win.
In addition, the gods did not actually believe that humans could really have monsters appear in every battle, and they took the initiative in this battle. Since someone volunteered, others would not rush to fight for it.
Just like that, the gods decided on the quota.
Not long after, another name appeared on the big screen. It was Lu Bu, who was originally supposed to be the vanguard of the human side.
On the other side, in the lounge where Lu Li and Aizen were, Brunhilde had just uploaded her name.
"Can Lu Bu defeat Su Jian Ming Zun?"
Brunhilde's tone was a little unconfident, "I actually think it would be more appropriate for Okita Souji to take the position."
Aizen sat on the sofa and looked up at Brunhilde. "You were the one who designated Lu Bu as the vanguard of the human side. Why are you not confident now?"
"I……"
Brunhilde hesitated to speak, and then fell into deep thought. Yes, why do I think it would be risky for Lu Bu to fight Su Jianmingzun?
In other words, why do I feel that Okita Souji is stronger than Lu Bu?
Confused in her heart, Brunhilde found Lu Bu and the Valkyrie designated by Aizen.
"Lu Li, so you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time."
When Lu Bu walked into the room, he didn't look at Brunhilde and his Valkyrie, but at Lu Li, with a ferocious smile on his face, "Come on, let's fight!"
Lu Li put down the strawberry parfait in his hand and said, "Let's talk about it after you gain divine power. It's so boring to fight now."
The Lu Bu in this world is obviously more warlike. On the contrary, when Lu Li asked Xiang Yu to join the war, Xiang Yu did not seem like a warmonger. He just stayed with Yu Ji and fed dog food to the people around him.
"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up!"
As Lu Bu said this, he walked towards his own Valkyrie, the fifth female Valkyrie, Jie Luoluer.
Jie Luolu'er's ability is 'charger with spear', which is a magical weapon that is very suitable for battlefield warriors. At Lu Bu's request, she directly practiced the Fang Tian Hua Ji, which is very suitable.
This was also the result of Aizen's careful consideration, because in the original work, the divine weapon cultivated by the fourth Valkyrie, Landigrace, could not withstand Lu Bu's power at all. After using Tenku, it shattered when it collided with Thor's hammer. It can be seen that it is not the most suitable candidate for the divine weapon.
Aizen has met every Valkyrie these days, and can only say that Landigrace is indeed the weakest Valkyrie. It's not that her ability is weak, but her divine power is weak. First, she cannot increase the basic stats of the symbiote through Ichilian Reincarnation, and second, the divine weapon she has cultivated is not strong enough.
Of course, the weakest that Aizen mentioned does not include the youngest daughter Gray, and Gray herself has special abilities, so it is not her divine power that matters.
"Is this my new weapon... It's pretty good."
Lu Bu waved his new Fang Tian Hua Ji and grinned. At the same time, Sakyamuni, who had arrived, performed the secret technique of lotus reincarnation for him. He felt the power in his body expanding infinitely.
However, what Lu Bu cared about was not the increase in strength value. He cared more about the ultimate realm of martial arts. He just felt that it might be more interesting for his current body to fight with gods.
"Can you fight me now?"
The Fang Tian Hua Ji in Lu Bu's hand was pointed at Lu Li, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
"Don't be so anxious. How about you defeat tomorrow's opponent first?"
Lu Li said with a smile, he didn't want to be restrained during the sparring, after all, Lu Bu still had to go on the field tomorrow, what if he broke his faith?
Lu Bu was a little unhappy when he heard this, but Brunhilde and his Valkyrie kept persuading him, making him temporarily give up the idea of fighting Lu Li directly.
"He's just a god from a small country in Japan. I'll kill him first, and then I'll fight you."
Lu Bu said this, and left the room, apparently to familiarize himself with his new weapon.
The next day, the battle between humans and gods began again.
When they saw Lu Bu come on the court, Lu Bu's army and a series of masters from the Three Kingdoms period cheered.
It can only be said that people's strengths will be different due to different world views. At least from the history that Lu Li knows, in terms of personal bravery, Guan Erye may not be worse than Lu Bu.
After all, according to the clear records in official history, in the past 5,000 years of Chinese history, only Guan Yu had managed to take the head of a general in the midst of thousands of troops, and Lu Bu had no real record in this regard.
There are also a few such people in history, but the records are controversial.
Anyway, as far as the current world is concerned, people in the Three Kingdoms era all recognized Lu Bu's strength. Even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei admitted in the stands that Lu Bu was indeed more powerful in a one-on-one fight.
"The one who appeared on the side of the gods today is the strongest sword god in Japanese mythology, Su Jianmingzun, who killed the Yamata no Orochi!!!"
Heimdall passionately introduced the gods that would appear today, but there were not many cheers from the stands on the gods' side, mainly because their morale had been lost after being beaten in the past few days.
"And the representative of the human side is the original vanguard, the strongest general from the Three Kingdoms period - Lü Bu Fengxian!"
When he introduced the human warriors, the human stands erupted in warm cheers, all cheering for Lu Bu.
Obviously, after four consecutive victories, the human side is in high spirits and no longer has much awe for the gods.
Lu Bu did not ride his Red Hare into battle, but walked into the venue on foot and looked at Su Jianmingzun, who was shorter than him, and asked, "Are you the strongest sword god?"
"A warrior among humans, I see you are also a martial artist, I believe you can benefit me a lot, right?"
Su Jianmingzun said with a smile, holding the sword of Ama-Kushu, ready to go.
He does not look down on humans. Instead, he values their potential, which is why he learns swordsmanship from them. From ancient times to the present, he has learned countless skills from humans. He can be said to be the epitome of Japanese swordsmanship.
