Chapter 1379: Chapter 81: The Main Consort Struggle
The next day, twelve Fate Goddesses from four Divine Eras gathered under the Kabbalah Tree of Life, chanting spells together.
The starlight flickered and danced, intertwining to form charts that predicted the future.
The streams of light from myriad Possibilities descended from the heavens, once again weaving and converging upon the figure encircled by the twelve Fate Goddesses.
It’s unclear how much time passed before the starlight dimmed.
In the Magic Array, Luo En slowly opened his eyes, a smile of relief spreading across his face.
The Goddesses from various Divine Eras who were waiting outside quickly gathered around, anxiously asking:
“Yes, I’ve found that glimpse of victory’s possibility.”
Luo En nodded, his gaze deep and certain.
Upon hearing this, the Goddesses couldn’t help but show joy; the hearts that had been in their throats for days finally settled peacefully.
Tonight, they could finally have a good night’s sleep.
Because, the chances of victory for the five European Divine Eras in this Divine War were no longer zero.
Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance of victory, their king, their god, would ultimately bring this Miracle!
“What do we do next?” asked the Goddesses.
“The divination has already taken up quite some time. The Divine Eras have been vulnerable for too long; there might be trouble. You should return home, stabilize the situation, and delay the onset of the Divine War. I need some time to arrange certain things,” Luo En replied.
The Goddesses nodded and contemplated:
“Then upon returning, we’ll immediately increase the troops and defense, prepare for war in full swing, and try to buy more time for you.”
“No, quite the opposite. I hope you go back and don’t make any preparations related to war. Eat, sleep, host every banquet without exception, even draw back some defensive forces to the city.”
“A tactic of feigned troops!”
As soon as Luo En spoke, Athena, Hecate, and Thetis, the three possessing the Divine Authority of wisdom and conspiracy, immediately reacted.
Morgan, Vivian, and Heluo, a group of perceptive Goddesses, also promptly thought of the answer.
“You want to deceive them?”
Luo En nodded and said:
“In the battles of Babylon, Canaan, Salamis sea battle, and the Roman land war at Cilicia, they’ve repeatedly suffered defeat. After eating losses three or four times, anyone rational would be extremely cautious about the upcoming battles. So, they won’t start a battle lightly until they reveal our strength and make thorough preparations.”
“Which means, the more relaxed we seem on the surface, the less we treat this Divine War seriously, the more nervous the Persian Empire becomes, and they won’t dare to act rashly. After all, the Great Ming Venerable of Persia is a smart person who understands balance. The greatest strength and weakness of a smart person is caution.”
Hecate pointed out this subtlety with a smile, glancing at this disciple with a hint of appreciation and amazement.
Foreseeing the enemy’s psychological flaws in advance, applying reverse thinking, and using this weakness to devise a plan.
Even if it’s revealed later, it would still gain more time compared to facing them head-on.
Admittedly, this disciple’s accomplishments in Conspiracy have perfectly exceeded her as the Master.
Nevertheless, Hecate, relying on her shrewd experience, added:
“Reducing troops across all defenses is too deliberate. It’s best to maintain nine false actions for every true one, eight false actions for every two true ones, while keeping it externally relaxed but internally tight, so that the Great Ming Venerable believes we have ambushes waiting for them.”
Thetis and Athena, unwilling to be outdone, also shared their insights:
“The appearances of deities shouldn’t be too rigid; some might disappear, others appear, making it seem like something big is brewing.”
“We can also utilize foreign merchant ships to spread some mixed truth and false rumors. For instance: among Europe’s five Divine Eras, each has an Origin Level deity residing; Nordic’s Phanes as the First Cause, Celtic’s Mother of Origin Danu, Rome’s Chaos and Order Goddess Eurynome, Babylon’s Five-Colored Dragon Mother Tiamat, and Greece’s — Goddess of Necessity Ananke…”
Morgan and Vivian, eager to try their hands, couldn’t help but speak:
“Adding more, there’s the Divine Consort paired with Phanes, also leading Phanes into the Origin as a mentor.”
“She also oversees the inevitable fate of the five Divine Eras, determining the future of the world.
Commonly, in Divine Era worlds that start with matriarchal worship, Goddesses are often stronger than Gods.
Examples are Danu from Celtic mythology, Tiamat from the Babylonian mythology, and Eurynome from Roman and Pylas mythology.
Moreover, this Goddess of Necessity is also Phanes’ instructing mentor, guiding him into the Doorway of Origin.
When even her disciple Phanes is already so powerful, unconquered against two in the Canaan Divine Era, imagine how strong the mentor Ananke would be?
The statements above may not have explicit directions but undeniably inscribe the word Strong onto the Goddess of Necessity Ananke.
Once war breaks out, the Origin Gods of the Persian Empire’s five Divine Eras will undoubtedly focus their attack on the Goddess of Necessity Ananke.
In simple terms, this is using false power to deceive opponents, making them misjudge upfront and later take the fall.
After all, her gold coin — the Goddess of Necessity’s — has already been completely depleted by an ill-mannered disciple and now she merely acts as a secretary managing the Age of Greek Gods.
