The Nordic region also has five countries: the Ice Country, the Wood Country, the Thousand Lakes Country, the Fishing Country, and the Single Country.
It's not impossible to bring up a Western European country where the sun never sets.
After all, these six countries are quite closely connected, and they have awakened a considerable number of gods.
Oswald was the supreme leader of the British Empire and also the leader of the "Divine Court," a coalition of six nations.
Agamemnon, the supreme leader of the Kingdom of Thousand Lakes, is also the one who just negotiated with Elder Huang.
The six world leaders sat around a huge round table in a grand palace in the British Empire.
Yes, the palace.
There were many serious-looking soldiers standing at the entrance, their entire bodies covered in metal armor, with only a slit in their eyes for people to observe them.
Their weapons were mostly two-handed greatswords, with the rest being shields, flails, double-edged axes, and other intimidating-looking equipment.
If it weren't for the small telephones held by the leaders of various countries and the huge electronic screens in the palace, outsiders would probably think they had traveled back to the Middle Ages in Northern Europe.
“I heard from Huang Jianshu that in the capital of China, someone has started a disturbance in the name of the chief god Odin, causing quite serious damage. He just called.” Agamemnon pushed his phone to the center of the round table.
"Hmph, who else but those bastards from India and the Mediterranean would dare to do such a thing under the guise of our gods?" Oswald sneered, not finding anything wrong with Agamemnon's tone just now.
"I heard that a god has also awakened in the land of cherry blossoms. Will this chosen one..." the leader of the ice kingdom said with some concern.
"The Cherry Blossom Country? Heh, their people are quite fanatical. It's no surprise that their gods have awakened. The Dragon Country? Pshaw, it's shameful for a grandpa to be outdone by his grandson!" Oswald said, glancing absentmindedly at a young woman beside him from time to time.
While it's a bit cliché to use the phrase "angelic face and devilish figure" to describe a woman's beauty, this woman has well-defined features. Her eyes are half-open due to laziness, making them appear long and narrow, yet they reveal no emotion whatsoever.
She wore few clothes, made of fine silk, which covered several areas that were enough to make a man's blood boil.
The remaining exposed delicate skin was partially covered by several layers of gossamer-thin gauze, but it couldn't hide her curvaceous figure, inevitably leading to all sorts of fantasies.
Her slender, pale fingers, like green onions, played with her hair. Although her face was expressionless, it stirred a lustful desire within one, making one eager to pull the beauty before them into their arms and play with her to their heart's content.
Looking down, her smooth, slender thighs were displayed without reservation in everyone's sight. They were fair, yet not sickly, and a touch of just the right amount of rosy cheeks made the girl even more beautiful.
Her delicate feet were unprotected by shoes, and her toes were slightly red, perhaps due to the cold weather, but this only added to the beauty of the woman.
Her expression showed no trace of seductive allure, but rather the indifference of a fairy who had descended to the mortal world, detached from worldly desires.
But it is precisely because of this that it arouses men's attraction.
Human beings' love for contrast is actually beyond imagination.
For example, this icy beauty, who seems like a celestial being, would probably make everyone present imagine her as depraved and licentious. Just thinking about it makes one feel...
I've talked too much.
The woman walked a few steps slowly, then gently sat on Oswald's lap, nestled against his chest like a kitten, and curled up in his arms.
The crowd reluctantly turned their gaze away, but their eyes kept darting back to the woman.
Such a lovely woman is truly captivating; it's hard to look away.
Oswald desperately wanted to vent his anger, but he dared not use force, fearing he might hurt the beautiful woman in his arms. For a moment, he was flustered and lacked the composure expected of a national leader.
“Alright, Oswald, if you summoned us here just to watch you flirt with your female companion, then I think this meeting is unnecessary to continue!” a middle-aged woman said.
Her name is Theophlia, the supreme leader of the Kingdom of Wood.
Although she was a woman, the girl in Oswald was so beautiful that she couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.
But women are often jealous, so when she came to her senses, she wasn't very friendly to the two of them. (Don't scold me, men are jealous too, it's just that women's emotions are more active, and they express their feelings in more diverse ways than men.)
Oswald awkwardly touched the tip of his nose, neither refuting nor letting the woman leave his embrace.
The two continued to linger together, and casually mentioned the theme of the gathering.
"The matter of the Dragon Kingdom is secondary in the reason I've gathered you all here today. The main reason is to discuss the upcoming 'Chosen One'." Oswald straightened his posture, his expression becoming more serious.
The Chosen One is not some secret; it is simply an "election" that only the many nations on Earth with gods can participate in.
The initiators were several national leaders from the Nordic region, not just because they were the first countries to awaken the gods.
Rather, it is related to the gods they awakened.
The Three Goddesses of Norn!
These three figures are integral to the entire mythology of the Nordic region.
They were all daughters of Norn, the goddess of fate.
The eldest daughter, Uld, who governs the "past" and is known as the "noble one"; the second daughter, Verdandi, who governs the "present" and is known as the "equally noble one"; and the youngest daughter, Skadi, who governs the "future" and is known as the "third noble one".
These three are known as the "Sisters Who Rule Fate" or the "Goddesses of Records".
The "Ragnarok," which ended Norse mythology, was something Odin learned from their prophecy.
Even though He sacrificed His right eye in exchange for boundless wisdom, it could not save Asgard from that epic catastrophe.
When the three Norn goddesses were awakened, the first prophecy nearly exhausted the faith power accumulated in the Nordic region over decades.
The prophecy was very concise.
"Blue Star is doomed. A leader must be chosen to unite all the faith of Blue Star in order to have a chance of survival."
After this prophecy was uttered, the three goddesses of Norn fell into a long slumber, and no matter how much faith flowed to them, it was to no avail.
If it weren't for the fact that the power of faith could still reach them, the leaders of the Nordic countries would probably have thought they had disappeared.
