Reply to comment by TentacleJihadHentai in [WP] The Greek, Norse, and Egyptian pantheons of gods attend a conference on Mount Olympus, trying to discern whether or not Christianity's god is evil or truly good as it claims. The talks were going poorly until an Archangel came to visit them. by Tigerstorm6

"I refuse, your souls need to be saved, and you four must know your places. Beneath the Lord of Lords."

So Almighty he plagiarized his World Flood epoch from others. Odin did tell Gabriel.

"How Dare you?" Gabriel seethed back.

Let me tell you the story of a man who heard a voice from Heaven. To build an ark and to fill it with his family and animals. For all life outside the Ark will die to a flood. What did I speak of?

"Noah."

Wrong. Utnapishtum from Epic of Gilgamesh. Anu says "What the Inanna?"

"..."

Let us try it again. Same description as before. Exactly. Izanagi asked.

"Noah. Of course it is."

Wrong. Atra-hasis. Ea would like me to relay "What the Ishtar?" Izanagi spoke.

"..."

Let us try this a third time. Same story. Same description. Zeus questioned the Archangel.

"...Noah?"

Ziusudra. Enki declares "What the Ninhursag?" Zeus informed.

"..."

If you recall, the Christian Messianic figure is not that original either. Zeus added.

"...?"

Trip to the Afterlife? Osiris, Tammuz, Adonis, Attis, Zagreus. Jesus was the latest.

Water from wine? My son, Dionysus?

Epic climactic battle at the end of time? Not very unique that one.

"His miracles were the most impressive," Gabriel interjected.

Odin's power began to fluctuate.

Hello? Brahma? Do you mind if I borrow that technique of yours? Thank you.

Odin?

Brahmastra

And in an instant, did the entirety of the dimensional Realm bathe in light, the radiance blinding even the Holy Ones gathered at There and Then. Colors in variety surpassing the mortal ability to describe filled the whole Realm, and the Brahmastra gave testimony of its Inventor's wisdom.

I can contact Shiva and try his as well. Odin notified the Realm.

Heh. Never gets old seeing one go off. Zeus spoke with a faint aura of admiration.

Tell your Lord he is not welcome to visit. Such vanity and ego will harm the good will this Council built up over the uncounted aeons. Izanagi concluded.

Izanami going full blown prosecutor on Gabriel is just brutal. Her bringing out evidence then a victims testimony right there and then was just brilliant.

This appeals to me on many levels, I love different takes on mythology.

If you search up the World Flood stories I mentioned, they all predate Noah by centuries.

Some easter egg fact.

Super cool. I love mythology, and seeing how stories mimic each other and borrow is so interesting. Well done.

Noah is the youngest of the flood stories mentioned. By centuries.

Some fun fact.

I'm of the opinion that Catholicism outlawed "witchcraft" to prevent the learning of other mythologies to prevent questions too hard to answer.

(Non-canon) Addition:

So Izanagi, tell us. How come you and Izanami seems to get along so well? Zeus inquired.

Indeed. Do tell. Odin added.

I mean. The worst I ever did to her...was leave her alone to calm down after our fight near Yomi. Its not like I go around impregnating mortals at random. Besides, what is there for her to hate me over? I am faithful, raised my kids with love, and do not randomly sire demi- Zeus?

Odin sniggered.

...It is nothing my friend. Zeus replied.

Odin's smugness permeated the whole Realm

Animalistic skirt chaser

Odin my friend... were Thor and Baldr not born from different women, within a year of each other?

And then there was silence.

I cannot even begin to express how much I feel this story. While I am a polytheist, I do not think any one god is ever above another. Thank you for putting into words how I feel.
Thank you.

Would you say they were colors unlike any ever seen on earth?

Don't let HP lovecraft find out

These are separate gods, Izanagi husband and Izanami wife.

One died and stays in Yomi. A Shintoism afterlife-esque place.

It would be a nice addition of an old Sumerian god to say "Didn't He use to go by the name of 'El'"?

I thought about it, but that assumes the others cared enough about him to remember.

So I did not add it in.

The world flood story exists in Hinduism too. I think its one of those stories almost every culture has.
