Chapter 1969: Love and Resentment (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!! Please Subscribe!! Please Recommend!!)

It is true that Asgard is a member of the Pantheon, but it is not very clean with it. After all, their concepts are very different. Asgard is considered a unique group among the gods. First of all, they have no Familia!

Whether it is Olympus or any other divine race, they will have their own dependents, and these people are their most devout believers.

Asgard does not... The Asgardian Protoss is just a nation. Although their leader calls himself a god, it is just a title, like emperor, king and so on.

They themselves have a powerful army and civilization and do not need the faith of others. They are also not very accepting of other people's beliefs... This is the biggest difference between Asgard and the Pantheon. Asgard's technology and magic levels are quite high.

Unlike other protoss, they need to rely on faith to maintain their strength and prosperity.

Secondly, Asgard also looks down upon the style of these protoss... When they were on Earth, although the protoss were aloof, for the most part, they still took good care of the people under their rule. For example, the Olympus Protoss is very good to their dependents. For example, the Amazon female warriors were even given the privilege of immortality by the gods. This is the treatment that only gods can have. Another example is the people of Atlantis. Poseidon, the god of the sea, takes great care of the people of Atlantis.

He even gave them artifacts.

After all, the earth is their homeland, no matter how arrogant or cruel they are. There will also be a little bit of folks who won't go too far.

But since leaving their hometown, these gods' lives are actually much better than on earth. Not only do they have more believers, but they also have inexhaustible resources to satisfy their selfish desires.

Although most of the planets they rule are barren, they can still produce oil and water no matter how barren they are. After all, although there are many gods, their absolute number is extremely small compared to the many planets and worlds they rule.

As the saying goes, no matter how remote or remote the place, the life of the gentlemen is very good.

The most obvious example is those tyrants in Africa!

In ancient times, all African countries had complete systems, and the whole of Africa was one society. These large and small chiefdoms once existed for a long time in Cameroon, Nigeria, Benin, Ghana, Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast. The king (i.e., the chief) is the supreme ruler of the tribal federation and has absolute power, such as formulating laws, presiding over administration, directing wars, serving as sacrifices, judging cases, collecting taxes, etc. In some countries, government decrees divide chiefs into one, two, and three levels according to the size of their territory, population, and economic importance. The position of chief is generally hereditary, and in most cases is inherited by the eldest son. In some republican countries, such as Cameroon, chiefs also need to be approved by the chief executive. First-level chiefs are approved by the Head of State, second-level chiefs are approved by the Cabinet Minister of Territories, and third-level chiefs are approved by the governor. These chief kingdoms not only have kings, palaces, queens, concubines, ministers, etc., but also their own subjects, and retain various privileges. Polygamy is a very common phenomenon among African chiefdoms. Chief Yebua has 12 wives, the eldest of whom is 70 years old, and the youngest is the same age as his granddaughter. He had a total of 65 children, not including those who died. The person who set the highest record in this regard was a chief of the Abome Kingdom of Benin in ancient times. He had more than 4,000 concubines in his lifetime. After the chief died, 41 young and beautiful people were selected and ordered to drink poisoned wine to commit suicide and be buried with the dead chief.

In modern times, this situation has not changed at all.

The most famous one belongs to Eswatini.

Its poverty is far beyond what we can imagine in our current lives. This is not an exaggeration:

Can you imagine what it feels like to eat two meals a day?

Can you imagine how it feels to exchange a cow for a wife?

Can you accept the feeling of young girls from various families striving to join the royal family and become the king's concubine?

But these are normal in Eswatini, and this is the reality of their lives. According to valid data, 80% of the population in Eswatini cannot afford three meals a day. In order to save food, they can only eat two meals a day. During a long and difficult day, they must work hard to survive the next day. But even so, their lives can only be controlled by more than ten dollars. Eswatini's per capita GDP is US$3,000-4,000. But the premise is not to be deceived by this gorgeous number, because it is an average number, and the truly wealthy people account for about 10% of the country, and the rest are poor. This means that most of the wealth in Eswatini is controlled by a small number of wealthy people.

For example, the country's King Mswati has personal assets of more than 2 billion US dollars. What is this concept? Eswatini has a population of only 1.39 million, and the king himself owns most of the country's wealth.

Can we imagine the cruel truth of the word "average"?

Therefore, in Eswatini, nearly half of the population does not consume more than 1.9 US dollars a day, which is equivalent to 11 or 2 yuan when converted into RMB, which is less than the cost of a cup of milk tea.

With this reality, how can we talk about three meals a day or medical consumption?

It is precisely because of this that Eswatini's education, medical and other national development systems are in a state of paralysis. Even civil servants may not be able to receive their monthly salary. Who will go to school or see a doctor? Naturally, poverty has cost Eswatini a heavy price. A large number of people in the country are plagued by AIDS, and the infection rate has reached 27.3%. The lack of medical treatment directly leads to the extremely low average life expectancy of the country. The average life expectancy in this country is 35 years old.

But who would have thought? The king of Eswatini lived a unique life: showing off his wealth, enjoying himself, being lustful, and not caring about the lives of the people. It seems that the country's demise has nothing to do with him. The suffering of the people is only their own business, and all he can do is to amass money crazily and then spend it on various excuses. King Mswati, who is in her fifties, has more than 15 wives and concubines in the harem. Like beautiful women, this is the king's biggest hobby. For this reason, he continued to enrich the harem and used money to satisfy his desire for women to live in the harem.

"I want to live a good life, have money, be rich, have a BMW and a mobile phone."

This is a life attitude that local girls do not shy away from at all. For this reason, they actively participate in the annual Reed Festival to strive for the opportunity to change their destiny. What is the Festival of Reeds? This is actually a local folk custom with a long history. It is actually a ceremony for girls to celebrate their adulthood. However, now for the girls of Eswatini, it has changed, because King Mswati will bring the girl he likes back to the palace during the Reed Festival, marry her, and make her a princess. Many people say that the Reed Festival in Eswatini has now become a large-scale scene for the king to choose his concubine. Moreover, there are strong voices internationally: banning such festivals.

But Mswati is unmoved and he still enjoys the right to choose his favorite girl at the festival every year. To this end, his harem already has 15 concubines, and this is not the end. As long as the king is willing, he can always have concubines in the palace. Indeed, polygamy is legal in Eswatini. As long as you are rich enough and have the capital to support those girls, you can marry multiple wives. Moreover, because of the problem of population decline, marrying multiple wives has the local meaning of contributing to the country.

But, if he can’t even eat, how can he get the money to marry a wife and raise children? Therefore, polygamy can still only stay in the world of the wealthy. Moreover, it really doesn’t cost much to get a wife in Swaziland. All you need is a cow and you can choose whatever you want. No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel cruel. A lively girl has less social status than a cow. Naturally, as the king, Mswati has the most such ability, because most of the cattle in the country are in his hands, and he can take out a cow at any time to exchange for a concubine to enter the palace. In order to make his wives happy, Mswati even spent one-fifth of his cattle herd to buy luxury cars for them: In 2019, he bought 19 Rolls-Royces at one time. Give it to your wives and concubines. This incident caused a great sensation at the time, and people talked a lot: The king was too extravagant, and the people could not even afford to eat, but he was spending huge sums of money to buy so many cars.

But so what? Mswati didn't care at all, and his answer to the outside world was: I used my own cattle to get it, and I didn't use the country's wealth. But the question is, does a country like Eswatini, which is too poor to take the blame, still have wealth in its treasury? I’m afraid all I have is debt, right? However, no one among the people dared to question the king in this way, so the matter was ignored. But this is not the only car Mswati owns. He is also a luxury car enthusiast and owns everything from Rolls-Royce to Maybach to Mercedes-Benz. Even the airplanes and the presidential bulletproof vehicle were not left behind.

Well, it’s true that the king is rich and willful. But it is true that Mswati cannot control his wives. Although he buys luxury cars for those wives and often goes shopping and traveling in groups, there are still concubines who continue to cuckold him.

However, what does this mean to a king who tramples on public opinion and people's livelihood under his feet?

He still lived a carefree life. As long as he had cattle and wealth, he had no worries about not having a concubine. Therefore, the annual Reed Festival is his carnival day. If his wife runs away, the worst thing he can do is exchange for cows. This operation doesn't feel like something done by a king, but he has become an upstart with no lower limit?

And the gods of the Pantheon are just like this King of Swatini, no, it should be said that they are more unscrupulous!

Asgard is an enterprising nation, and they do not allow themselves to become as fattened as these lying-down gods.

The Pantheon is also unhappy with Asgard, and this is mainly Odin's fault.

I think when Odin's father was here, although he was unhappy with the Pantheon, everyone could make do with it. After all, Odin's father was born and raised on the earth, and he could still tolerate the misbehavior of his fellow villagers. After all, he was not very good at it. affect yourself.

It's great, so just turn a blind eye.

But after Odin came to power, everything became different.

Odin's temper when he was young was countless times worse than Thor's before! What kind of bullshit did Thor have before he went to Earth in the first place? Odin was even more difficult to deal with than Thor at that time.

How could Odin, who was ambitious, had a bad temper, was cruel and easy to kill, like the weaklings like Pantheon?

When Odin was fighting and killing in the universe, the Pantheon was afraid that it would affect them, so they put on airs and wanted to clamp down on Odin. After all, there are still many senior gods in the Pantheon, such as the God King Zeus.

Even if the Lord of Olympus left the earth, he still did well and was the God King wherever he went.

Unfortunately, isn't it asking for a beating to put on airs in front of Odin?

Odin didn't give him any face at all.

He just beat the Pantheon back.

Odin even planned to conquer the Pantheon directly! So Odin gave himself a title - God King Odin!

That's right, the word God King did not exist in Asgard before. Odin's father and grandfather were both called the King of Asgard. When it came to Odin, it was changed directly!

Of course, it was also the Pantheon's good luck. Before Odin started the war against the Pantheon, Odin woke up directly because of Hela.

But he still looked down on the Pantheon's group of low-class people.

In his opinion, the Pantheon's gang is just a group of fattened pigs! The reason why they are so free is not because of how strong they are, but because these grandsons are just full of shit, and others are too lazy to step on them!

If someone really doesn't mind the dirt, then step on it!

Anyway, Odin will not get involved with a bunch of stinky shit.

Before, when the Pantheon was dealing with the God Killer Gorr, it also thought about pulling Asgard in... Should I say it or not, Asgard is really strong! And the Pantheon itself has a share of Asgard. After all, Odin didn't really do anything to the Pantheon, and the Pantheon didn't remove Asgard from the list.

Some people even proposed to expel Asgard... After all, the attitude of Asgard's gang towards the Pantheon is really not good. From top to bottom, they don't take the Pantheon seriously. The key is that the Pantheon has been around for so many years, and Asgard has never paid a penny!

It's a bit like the United Nations to the United States... Has the United States taken the United Nations seriously over the years?

The United States has always treated the United Nations as a chamber pot. It uses it when it is useful, and treats it as a toilet in its own home when it is not useful. It does not care at all.

Membership fee?

What membership fee? Why do we have to pay membership fee? Shouldn't the United Nations pay the United States? Why does the United Nations oppose me?

The United Nations is an illegal organization!!!

The United Nations supports me?

The United Nations is a responsible organization!

In short, the main theme is to do whatever one wants.

Asgard is almost like this to the Pantheon.
