Chapter 343: Dominate All Pantheons, Become the One True God?
Integrate Divine Artifacts from other mythologies into the God of the Bible's Divine Artifact System?
Wouldn't that be incredibly complicated?
It's like trying to install software from different systems onto another system—you can't just download and install it as is; modifications would be necessary.
Regarding this, the original God of the Bible had already mostly accomplished it.
He anticipated future circumstances and developed compatibility programs.
"No wonder the materials related to the artifacts he developed involve numerous mythologies," Odin sighed upon learning this from King Solomon before him.
Of course, the use of materials involving various mythologies wasn't due to the God of the Bible stealing anything. Instead, he primarily assisted in dealing with harmful monsters like magical beasts.
Especially dragons—many mythologies often suffered from their rampages, and after the God of the Bible helped subdue them, crises significantly decreased.
Naturally, the God of the Bible's enthusiastic actions inevitably aroused suspicion among many gods, who believed he had ulterior motives.
Subsequently, other materials were acquired by the God of the Bible through transactions where he paid certain prices.
In the end, he developed the so-called Divine Artifact System and created Divine Artifacts that could reside within humans.
The reason for using humans as vessels was their inherent fragility and their role as the foundation sustaining the existence of all gods.
Thus, by granting humans Divine Artifacts, they gained some ability to protect themselves.
Ultimately, the God of the Bible died because he expended most of his power on creating Divine Artifacts, the Divine Artifact System, and sealing Beast Emperor 666, leaving him extremely weakened.
Finally, during the great war within his own mythology—the battle among angels, fallen angels, and demons—he exhausted his remaining strength and perished.
Upon learning the true cause of the God of the Bible's death, most of the gods present fell silent, many feeling a sense of guilt.
This was because the three-way war in the God of the Bible's pantheon had been fueled by the instigation of various other mythologies.
Especially after the God of the Bible's death, they rejoiced, eager to carve up the vast "cake" of his followers' faith.
Hence, their current feelings of guilt.
They had been competing for faith, pushing wars by any means necessary to strengthen their own pantheons.
And what about him?
He had always worked silently and tirelessly for the world's safety, ultimately dying from overwork.
As for why the God of the Bible's pantheon became the largest and possessed the most faith even while he was alive, it wasn't achieved through any underhanded methods.
Because the God of the Bible had long acted primarily to safeguard humanity's well-being, he could be said to be the deity most genuinely devoted to protecting humans among all gods.
It was precisely this nature of his that earned him the reward he deserved—the largest number of believers.
Most other pantheons, by contrast, chose to aid humans purely to maintain their own power and interests.
Thus, the God of the Bible became the most perfect and ideal deity in human hearts.
"If you've seen the future, why not just tell us?"
A few who found it hard to swallow their pride muttered this, but the words instantly subjected them to intense pressure as everyone around fixed them with oppressive stares.
Would telling them really help? Would the gods believe it?
They might interpret certain actions of the God of the Bible—particularly regarding the Divine Artifact System—as signs of some major scheme or conspiracy.
They could assume the God of the Bible was actually preparing to annex all of humanity, prompting various pantheons to make their own preparations in response.
This would be like a human-world arms race, potentially leading to the accidental destruction of the world.
"So how do we access the Divine Artifact System?"
Odin's words made his stance clear—he was willing to support it.
The next moment, the other party tossed him what appeared to be a palm-sized stone slab?
No, this seemed to be a super-miniature version of the Gate of Heaven. After sensing it, Odin understood what to do.
This object was essentially an interface terminal for the Divine Artifact System. By channeling one's weapon through it, the weapon could connect to the system and undergo special divine artifact transformation.
Then, Odin noticed another interface on the object, which startled him.
"There's another interface here? Can you explain this?"
As he spoke, his gaze turned severe.
"This interface was added by me to connect to your respective pantheons' mythic systems."
Mythic systems, not divine artifact systems.
Besides, they hadn't created such a divine artifact system, but the mythic system was crucial to every pantheon.
It could be called the heart of a pantheon—if destroyed, the blow would be catastrophic for that pantheon.
Thus, opening this system to others was equivalent to handing over the fate of one's pantheon to them.
So when King Solomon said this, the gods of various pantheons who grasped the implication were instantly outraged.
"Open our pantheon's system?"
"Are you joking? If you take control of the system, wouldn't our pantheon be finished?"
"Do you want to dominate all pantheons? Become the sole god?"
Some gods, unable to restrain themselves, grew increasingly agitated.
"I merely want to read the Akashic Records of your respective mythologies."
King Solomon's casual reply left Odin speechless.
Wasn't that response even more outrageous?
Viewing a pantheon's Akashic Records? Wasn't that equivalent to stripping them bare?
Seeing all the secrets of a pantheon meant all its weaknesses would be exposed.
However, Odin didn't believe his goal was simply to learn the gods' secrets and weaknesses, yet he couldn't discern the specific purpose.
"For what purpose do you wish to view the Akashic Records of us gods?"
"You ask what the purpose is?"
King Solomon smiled, but this smile gave the gods an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Then, he proceeded to softly chant an incantation?
"Ars Almadel Salomonis—The Time of Birth has Come, He is the One who Lets Correct the Planet."
