Chapter 842 What a mess this was turning out to be

After Zeus had finished handing over everything, he disappeared as if he were an employee resigning without even wanting his last paycheck, leaving behind a group of gods and both Odin and Uranus looking at each other in bewilderment.

With Zeus having "resigned" and left, the remaining gods of the Divine Alliance naturally gave up any resistance.

Odin and Uranus had planned for years, paying countless prices, and had meticulously strategized as if anticipating every move in a chess game.

But just as they made their move, their opponent conceded and walked away...

It was as if they had identified an opponent, trained painstakingly for tens of thousands of years, expecting a tough battle, even preparing a victory speech, but their opponent didn't fight and just said, "Okay, you win."

The feeling was...

Too complex!

Did they win?

It seemed so.

Did they achieve their goal?

It seemed they did.

But neither Odin nor Uranus could feel happy about it.

Because Zeus seemed very happy...

Odin and Uranus exchanged glances, then a question arose: who would manage the Divine Realm now?

Odin frowned and said, "Uranus, since the overall situation is settled, I'll leave the rest to you."

Uranus was silent...

The situation was settled, but there was still a mess to clean up.

Neither Uranus nor Odin, having endured so much over the years, really cared about power at their level of strength.

Defeating the Divine Alliance and unifying the Divine Realm had been like their life's driving force, around which they could plan many other things, making life fulfilling yet interesting.

But now?

Zeus had left, effectively putting a full stop to that driving force.

What remained was just a headache.

As Uranus was lost in thought, Odin had already disappeared.

"Uranus, I'm off to pursue another breakthrough in strength. After that, let's have a good drink together."

This was the only message echoing in the Thunder Sanctum.

Some priests were utterly confused,Odin really seemed in a hurry to leave.

Today, he had led his resurrected daughters to kill so many gods, and on the Thunder Sanctum, not a single god cursed him, and a good number of them had already decided to support him as the ruler of the Divine Realm!

"You've gone to great lengths, leading the Ultimate Force Alliance's army to defeat the Divine Alliance and take control of the southern region of the Divine Realm, and now you don't want to manage it?"

"Zeus has disappeared, and if you don't take charge, won't the Divine Realm fall into chaos?"

"For the sake of all creatures in the Divine Realm, please, Lord Uranus, take good care of the affairs of the Divine Realm."

The various pleas came all at once, and these priests seemed to have suddenly forgotten who was slaughtering their colleagues and friends just a moment ago.

After all, the greater good of the entire Divine Realm was at stake.

Uranus couldn't help but laugh bitterly,was he supposed to be responsible for this mess without even enjoying any of it?

The power of faith could indeed make him stronger, but ever since he realized the extent of William the Obliterator's strength, he had felt an urge to give up.

Get stronger?

How much stronger could he get?

In the end, it was just a matter of a slap from William the Obliterator.

Apart from William the Obliterator, no one could kill him.

If even Zeus wouldn't fight him, what use was there in becoming so powerful through the power of faith?

At this moment, the supreme authority of the Divine Realm in Uranus's hands felt like something of no practical value that he was reluctant to discard, yet it would be a pity to give up...

Uranus finally understood why Zeus had surrendered without a fight.

Damn it!

All the scheming, was Zeus just eagerly waiting for them to attack?

The best hunters often appear in the guise of their prey, wasn't that Zeus?

What a scheme!

Over the years, Zeus had absorbed enough power of faith, and now by leaving, he ended up free and easy. How could he think of anything but a win? Was he supposed to struggle here for tens of thousands of years like Zeus?

Now that he ruled the Divine Realm, there was almost nowhere left to conquer, and his days would likely be filled with trivial matters...

Ah, the frustration!

Even if there were places to conquer, Uranus had completely lost interest by now.

"Are you teaching me how to do my job?" Uranus, unable to contain his anger, swept his gaze over the gods and said, "I don't have time for this nonsense. Whoever wants to manage it, go ahead." With a wave of his sleeve, he addressed the leaders of the Ultimate Force Alliance's army, "Follow me!"

After saying this, Uranus felt decisively wise, resisting temptation and avoiding much trouble.

In just a short while, the Shapeshifters had taken over the Divine Alliance, driven away Zeus, and then both Odin and Uranus had also fled, leaving only a group of confused priests behind.

What a mess this was turning out to be.
