Chapter 576: The Gods of the Northern Germanic Region

In cold areas at high latitudes, humans either worship the god of winter as a powerful god because they are afraid of the severe cold, or they worship the sun and pray for it to spread more light and heat.

Gerd, the goddess of sunlight, is obviously the sun goddess of the northern Germanic region.

She and Suna, another sun goddess, may be the same goddess, or they may be sister gods originating from the same goddess, split into two because they are worshiped by different tribes.

In Norse mythology, Gerd is a very beautiful goddess.

The powerful god of war, Freyr, fell in love with her at first sight. In order to get her, he would not hesitate to give up his sword and war horse - and the warrior's life to others.

Apart from charming Frey with his beauty, Gerd had no other deeds.

From this we can see Gerd's status in Nordic mythology.

Reflected in reality, it can be seen that Gede and the tribe that worships her are very weak.

Unlike the weak Gerd, the sun goddess Suna was a powerful deity in the northern Germanic region.

Her other identity is Surtur, the fire giant who died with Frey in the Twilight of Ragnarok.

Suna, the sun goddess, and Gede, the sun goddess, are obviously different from the Aryan sun gods.

The Aryan sun god usually rides a horse or drives a chariot across the sky, using his power to release endless light and heat.

In Norse mythology, the sun goddess Suna's heat does not come from herself.

Suna, the sun goddess, is also the sun god who drives a chariot across the sky.

Her Sun Chariot was loaded with the largest block of fire captured in Muspelheim, the Kingdom of Fire. Because the heat of the fire was too intense, a giant shield Svalin was installed in front of the chariot to prevent it from burning out.

In the concept of the Nordic region, the sun goddess herself does not have infinite heat, so Gede became the goddess of sunlight that illuminates the sky and the ocean.

Suna, the sun goddess, is the sun god with infinite light and heat, because she is not only the goddess of sunlight like Gerd, but also the god of fire, which symbolizes volcanoes.

The Eifel Mountains in the central Germanic region are known to have 350 volcanic eruption centers, hence the name [West Eifel Volcanic Area], which is famous for its crater lakes and volcanic activities.

The Germanic people in ancient times witnessed volcanic eruptions and believed that the sun's heat came from volcanoes.

Suna, the sun goddess who lives in the volcano [Muspelheim, the Land of Fire], carries lava from the volcano across the sky every day.

In Norse mythology, Frey's wife was the sun goddess Gerd.

In the Battle of Ragnarok, the fire giant Surtur, who died with Frey, was another identity of the sun goddess Suna.

It seems that Frey has a deep connection with the Sun Goddess.

Perhaps before the arrival of the Aryans [Aryan Gods], Frey's tribe and the Sun Goddess' tribe had a deep feud over the competition for territory.

After the arrival of the Aryans [Aryan Gods], Frey turned to the Aryan gods just to defeat the Sun Goddess.

Nasus, the goddess of the sea, Skati, the goddess of winter and hunting, Suna, the sun goddess, Freya, the goddess of love and war, Frey, the harvest god, and Gerd, the sun goddess——

These are the six gods of the northern Germanic region.

Jutland is a peninsula in the northern Germanic region between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea.

Fenrir took Roy to the junction of the Jutland Peninsula and the northern part of the Germanic region. He immediately transformed into a giant wolf a hundred meters tall, raised his head and let out a wolf howl.

Seeing Fenrir transform into a giant wolf again, Roy asked doubtfully.

"Fenrir, why have you transformed into an Arctic wolf again?"

"I am the strongest local god in the Germanic region."

Fenrir explained in a serious tone.

"If other gods see my goddess form, they will definitely despise me."

I have to admit that Fenrir's goddess figure is indeed very cute and cute, making it impossible for people to regard her as the most powerful native god in the Germanic region.

At this moment, hearing Fenrir's call, the gods from the northern Germanic region descended almost at the same time.

Nasus, the ocean goddess with blue hair and blue eyes, Skati, the winter and hunting goddess with long snow-white hair and tall figure, Freya, the war goddess who is as strong as a wild boar, and Su, the sun goddess with fiery red hair and flaming eyes. Na, Frey, the harvest god with long hair like golden grains, and Gode, the sun goddess with long platinum hair and a delicate figure.

"Fenrir!"

After the six gods arrived, Nasus, like the leader, questioned Fenrir on behalf of the six gods.

"What is the important reason why you summoned us? What is the identity of the foreign god beside you?"

"Introduce yourself!"

Roy said proactively.

"I am Loy, the emperor of the Athenian Empire, and also the heroic god and sun god of the Athenian Empire. I came to the Germanic region to incorporate the Germanic region into the territory of the Athenian Empire. Now the earth goddess Jiaode and the nature goddess Lin in the southern Germanic region Germany, the forest goddess Grid, and Fenrir have all surrendered to me."

Fenrir nodded and said.

"The master is right! Because the master will not harm our interests, but also wants to eliminate the Aryan gods and let us have more territory and authority, so we have surrendered to the master. Now I come to you to ask We invite you to join the Empire of Athens and join us in launching the Ragnarok War against the Aryan Gods, so that the Aryan Gods will usher in the dusk and end.”

After hearing what Roy and Fenrir said, the six gods all frowned in displeasure.

Frey, the harvest god, said with a sneer.

"Because the Aryan gods have always wanted to conquer the southern part of the Germanic region, the southern gods had to put aside their conflicts and unite. But in the northern region, we have huge conflicts with each other. The goddess Narsus and the goddess Skadi want to compete for the identity of the leader, and the tribes that worship Narsus and the tribes that worship Skadi are also competing for hegemony in the northern region. I am also competing for territory with the sun goddess Suna and the sunlight goddess Gerd. Only Freya has a huge hatred for the Aryan gods. I don't think you can resolve the conflict between us and let us join the same camp to deal with the Aryan gods. After all, for us, the threat of the Aryan gods is far less than that of our neighbors."

The gods in the northern part of the Germanic region did not know that after the Aryan gods conquered the southern part of the Germanic region, they would regard the northern part of the Germanic region as a target of conquest.

Even if they knew, they might not be willing to shake hands with their biggest enemy and become allies for future threats.

Roy said with a playful smile as he looked at the six gods.

"Perhaps you will think that I am boasting, but I still want to tell you that I can defeat the Aryan gods alone. I am inviting you now only because Fenrir and the others regard you as my own people. Now I invite you to join my camp and fight against the Aryan gods with me. Who of you is willing to join?"

"I will join!"

Freya said without hesitation.

"The Aryan gods are pressing me step by step. I am planning to declare war on them. You are here at the right time."

"Since you want to join our alliance to fight against the Aryan gods, then bow your head to me, the leader, and show your submission!"

Hearing Roy's request, Freya's face froze.

"I fight against the Aryan gods just to avoid submitting to Odin. You want me to submit to you, so what is the difference between you and Odin?"
