The Glory of the Seven Gods of Ice and Fire

Chapter 244 Euron's Intrusion

Finally, when the main force of the dead army arrived, everyone was shocked by the white walkers who attacked in groups. They were no longer scattered everywhere, but moved in units of hundreds of people, with a scale of thousands. Although the rebels had seen hundreds of people before, and had repelled them several times after paying a tragic price, this time the white walkers' full-scale attack was no longer something they could resist. The defense line that had been maintained for a long time was torn apart in an instant. The army of the pale knights tore through all obstacles in front of it like a hot knife through cheese.

In order to plug the gap, the rebel reserve also went forward. The extra Red God's army under Stannis and the expeditionary force of Norvos fought together, trying their best to prevent the White Walkers from widening the gap. The blood of the Red God's believers and the monks of the Long Lake dyed the land under the army red. Fortunately, after so many sacrifices, the White Walkers' pace gradually stopped, the battle line stabilized again, and both sides began to look for opportunities again.

As the battle became increasingly intense, snowflakes began to float above the battlefield, and the cold wind around became even more biting. This undoubtedly showed that the power in the highest sky was watching this battlefield. The White Walkers really took out their main force, and the decisive battle began.

However, while the rebels and the White Walkers were fighting fiercely, another pair of eyes was quietly watching the battlefield from a distance, and neither side of the war anticipated his arrival.

"This is where my attention should be. It's calling me, tempting me... I accept it with pleasure."

Far away from the battlefield, on a high slope near the end of the river, Euron Greyjoy looked at the grand and fierce battlefield in the plain, his tone contained uncontrollable excitement. Compared with the previous Euron, he is now completely different. His eye, which has been covered for many years, is flashing an unsettling blood-red light, full of fanaticism, bloodthirstiness and madness; however, compared with the changes in appearance, the temperament he exudes is also very different from the past: the former Euron would make people feel fear involuntarily, but now Euron not only spreads fear, but also has a different kind of grandeur, which induces everyone to kneel down and surrender. Compared with mortals, the current Euron may be more like a god - a god on earth.

Euron's subordinates were standing behind him. They now had fanatical expressions on their faces and looked more like Euron's believers. The captains who had surrendered to Euron because of his power before had now gotten rid of their inner fears and looked more like loyal servants serving the true God.

In addition, viewers should also find that there are many new faces among these followers. They are standing quietly behind Euron. They are tall and dressed in the armor of the kings and warriors of the Iron Islands, and they have the temperament of veterans.

“…It’s time to start.”

After saying this, Euron turned around. In front of him, a huge altar was rising from the ground. Not only were there enough sacrifices placed on it, but there were also many black stone tools of unknown age, which were constantly stained with the blood of the sacrifices.

Euron moved forward slowly and finally reached the stone platform set up for him on the altar. He chanted spells that were enough to drive ordinary people crazy. As he chanted, servants covered in runes kept walking into the altar and slit their throats as they chanted. Some legendary giant sea beasts were also dragged into the altar. Finally, after Euron finished chanting the last obscure word, the altar responded. He and his followers saw thick bloody fog gathering in the air, and suddenly it merged into the sky like lightning. Its speed was so fast that only people close to the altar could see this wonder.

"Let's go. The High Heaven has responded to our request. The ritual is complete. Let's go kill and offer it a more abundant sacrifice."

Soon, Euron led his subordinates away from the altar, with a chilling smile still on his face, and his heart was as excited as his expression: after so many years, his goal was finally coming true. For this happy event, he wanted to use an unprecedented victory to announce his great achievement and take the last step on his road to becoming a god.

That’s right, gods, over the years, Euron has grown from an ignorant beast who only knew how to act on ambition and instinct to another powerful man who can ascend to the level of gods.

At the very beginning, even Euron was just an agent and puppet chosen by the gods. But Euron ultimately had a nobler quality than others, which was his burning ambition and desire: Why should I only be a pawn of the gods, fighting for their pleasure in the world? I should be fear, I should be a storm, I should be a great man who dominates the whole world, not a puppet controlled by the gods!
Therefore, after realizing his situation, Euron began his actions. Thanks to the arrogance of the gods and their need to cultivate tools, Euron mastered a lot of knowledge, including the books of Myr, the books of the Citadel, the scrolls of Valyria... He read almost all the taboos in the world, but the gods allowed him to master a lot of power through this knowledge, which was originally intended to make the tools more handy and useful, but Euron did discover the essence of the gods and the road to becoming a god.

In this world, most of the gods are ancient beings who have been active in the world for countless years. Mortal dynasties rise and fall, but they still look down on the entire world, and nothing can shake their position. Those behind Euron are also such beings.

This power gap once made Euron despair. If all immortals in the world were like this, then those who came later would never have the chance to join them, and he would eventually die as a mortal. But Euron would not give up. After studying and witnessing the miracles of the Seven Gods, he discovered that there was another way to become a god in this world - to become a god through faith.

Euron knows the nature of the Seven Gods very well. The devout faith of the people and the exquisite knowledge constructed by the church gave birth to this young god, but it was also suppressed by other gods and had difficulty exerting power on the world - until more than a decade ago. Now, the Seven Gods can finally exert their power in the world. This once surprised Euron, but he soon became happy: the path of becoming a god through faith is feasible; and the essence of becoming a god through faith is to build an unshakable concept in the hearts of enough people. Therefore, Euron chose what he is best at without hesitation - fear.

Euron realized the role of fear a long time ago, but at that time he only used it as a tool for livelihood for the sake of wealth and deterrence. As Euron realized the principle of becoming a god, he immediately discovered the potential of this emotion. Then, he began to shape himself and committed countless evil deeds around the world. This was ultimately for the sake of ascending to the path of godhood - through killing and various atrocities, the world will know his reputation, how sinful he is, and what terrible fate they will face after seeing him. The world's fear of him will linger in every corner of the known world, and at that time, the power he gains will be no weaker than that of the chess player who once manipulated him.

During this process, Euron even killed many weak gods in various parts of the Jade Sea. These gods were all gods of faith, born from the beliefs of the local people, but they were not as influential as the Seven Gods. Part of their essence was sacrificed to the gods by Euron, and the other part was swallowed by himself. After swallowing these essences, Euron also saw many ancient secrets and had a clearer understanding of the inner logic of this world.

In Gogothos, the former tenth trading city-state on the Basilisk Islands, Euron unearthed a lot of ancient knowledge of this city-state famous for magic and slaves. Finally, relying on this knowledge, he found something more important in Valyria - the method of using black stone buildings from various places.

So, in order to achieve his great cause of becoming a god, Euron embarked on a series of actions that were difficult for outsiders to understand: the Battle of the Channel, the Battle of Oldtown, and the entire army's retreat to the Iron Islands at the critical moment of victory...all of which were prepared for his great cause.

"What has died never dies, but rises again, stronger than ever." This sentence has been passed down in the Iron Islands for who knows how many years. Generations of believers in the Drowned God have dedicated themselves to the sea based on this sentence. Euron also discovered that behind this sentence was a large army that the Drowned God had accumulated for himself.

In the end, through sacrifice and rituals, Euron usurped the army that the Drowned God had accumulated over thousands of years. When these former kings and warriors walked out of the sea, everyone present was stunned. When these ancient kings and warriors knelt down in front of Euron to express their submission, the living also followed the actions of their ancestors.

As expected, the Drowned God immediately noticed Euron's little trick, and the warlike god was furious, and huge waves rushed towards the Iron Islands, but he underestimated his opponent after all. Euron's magic and the long-awaited Storm God blocked his killing move. Then, magic, waves and storms fought all night. The final winner of the fierce battle was Euron Greyjoy. He and the Storm God worked together to defeat the Drowned God, but when the Storm God began to cheer for killing his old enemy, Euron stabbed him in the back and watched the once true god disappear in surprise and anger. This pair of gods had fought for thousands of years, but in the end they ended up being sent away by a third party. It's really unpredictable.

Naturally, after the day of the gods' fall, most of the mortals under Euron's command became his loyal followers and regarded him as a god on earth, but Euron would not fall into complacency. He knew very well that this victory was just a leverage to defeat the two, and he was still far from becoming a true god. Therefore, he once again mobilized his men and horses and rode non-stop to the North, where he would use a legend to firmly stand on the long steps.

Soon after Euron left the altar, the battlefield in the distance was still fighting. On the front line, the devout followers of the Seven Gods, the Northerners who shouted and fought, the Red God Army in red robes, and the Norvos people lined up with spears were fighting against thousands of White Walkers and countless armies of the dead. The leader of the rebels, Hugo, also left the Dreadfort.

He raised his flag on the hill behind the battle line. Two hundred elite Kohor holy soldiers lined up behind him, and countless elite soldiers who believed in the Seven Gods also surrounded him. The seven-pointed star battle flag boosted the morale of many people and made them fight more determinedly - the gods were standing behind them, and the gods were also watching this battlefield!

The reason why Hugo came to the battlefield was very simple. After the White Walkers launched this large-scale offensive, the seven-pointed star mark on his hand reacted. At this time, news from the front line came one after another, all of which explained one fact, that is, this attack was an attack by the White Walkers with all their strength, and it was a real decisive battle between the two armies.

In order to stop the pale knights riding on ice spiders, humans can use their flesh and blood to stop their advance. Often, dozens of people have to die to get a chance for the ice spiders to stop temporarily. At this time, various dragon crystals and Vulcan steel weapons will be called over to turn the white walkers into a pool of ice water. But the problem is that the time gained by these sacrifices is very short. If you fail to seize it, then this opportunity will be lost in vain.

So Hugo brought the Holy Army and the last reserves to the front line, waiting for the Night King to be forced to show up.

But it was at this moment that the environment on the battlefield quietly changed: the biting cold wind seemed to warm up a little, the air gradually became humid, and muffled thunder was heard from the distance from time to time; finally, snowflakes no longer fell from the sky, but rain fell.

At first, no one on either side of the bloody battle on the battlefield paid attention to these changes. Although the commanders of both sides had a vague feeling that something was wrong, they put aside their doubts and turned their attention to the battlefield. In the end, when many people felt a little uneasy, the drastic change that affected the entire battlefield came suddenly - a mighty wave surged in from the side of the battle line!
