Hey~ I don't want to have my Asshole Facing West!

"It is indeed our first meeting, but I remember you were sent away by your mother, weren't you? Now you're walking on this earth alone, are you looking for revenge against your father?"

Fujimaru Kyoya recalled his memories. He remembered that Zeus was sent away by the Goddess Rhea to be cared for by someone else in order to escape. As for whether the person entrusted to him was Gaia, the Earth Mother Goddess, or Ocean God Okeanos, he was not sure.

"Revenge? No, I've just thought it through, not that I'm tired of living."

Upon hearing the word "revenge," Zeus was immediately startled and hurriedly declared that he dared not rebel, for not every prince was like Li Lao Er.

"That Old Bastard fused directly with my Mecha Core. If my mother hadn't intervened and moved the Intelligent AI elsewhere, my power would have been very weak."

Indeed, Zeus was very weak at this time. Even in his human form, he was pitifully weak and showed no signs of becoming the future King of Gods.

"Then why did you sneak out? If I hadn't intervened, you'd be drowning in the sea."

The King of Gods who drowned in the sea—that's an even more bizarre way to die than being "imaginative" or "cunning."

"I had no choice."

Mentioning this matter, Zeus looked as distressed as if his horse had died. Could it be that Ocean God Okeanos and Sea Goddess Tethys, had staged a Harry Potter-style torture of Zeus?

That's not right. If that were the case, there would have been no need to take Zeus in in the first place.

"If I don't run away soon, I'll have to marry Metis."

The mere mention of Metis's name made Zeus seem to conjure up some kind of demon; forget about his King of Gods demeanor, even his brother would shrink back in fear.

Fujimaru Kyoya to go through his memories to remember who this Metis, who had terrified Zeus, was.

Metis, the Goddess of Wisdom, Zeus's first wife, and also the mother of Athena, was arguably Zeus's most capable advisor before he received help from Prometheus (also known as Fujimaru Kyoya).

But Zeus, why do you look so cowardly? How are you going to eat your wife and have Athena if you look like that?

"Metis and I are childhood sweethearts. Although I am weak and far less intelligent than her, she still intends to marry me, but..."

Zeus seemed to recall something terrifying. Could there be some unexpected Reversal to this seemingly idyllic childhood romance?

"Since I didn't have the Mecha Core, I often watched how human couples communicated, and after trying to imitate them a few times, she became addicted."

Zeus seemed utterly despondent. Although he didn't believe Metis's love for him was pure, as time went on, Zeus vaguely sensed that Metis's love for her bull surpassed his own. In other words... Zeus was being bullied by his own bull.

"I can't accept this! I absolutely cannot accept this! I absolutely must find a woman who can't be conquered by me, Niu Niu! Even if it means the end of the world, I will find her!"

Listening to Zeus's oath, Fujimaru Kyoya was once again certain that he and this brat in front of him were truly incompatible.

You truly are Greek First Male Big Gun!

This jerk's been talking for ages, all he's doing is showing off his amazing talent! What a coincidence, I have a copy of the Bixie Swordplay here. Master it and I guarantee you'll be free from all your troubles.

"Boom!"

Just as Fujimaru Kyoya was about to unleash a powerful act of compassion, intending to cleave the path of life and death with a single punch and sever the root of all trouble with two kicks, the heavens seemed to have heeded Zeus's oath and immediately unleashed a bolt of lightning in response.

"Croak~"

But Zeus let out a strange cry and scrambled into the bushes. How could such a cowardly person possibly control thunder in the future?

Are you afraid of thunder?

"Damn, aren't you afraid of thunder?"

Zeus countered, "Ever since he was struck by lightning as a child, this guy has practically developed PTSD for lightning; now it's just a conditioned reflex."

"You... come back with me first."

Fujimaru Kyoya was in a real bind. Clearly, he couldn't just leave this Zeus alone. If he didn't deal with him, forget about becoming the King of Gods of the Olympus. Fujimaru Kyoya was afraid he'd run into him at the Duck Shop at the village entrance the very next day.

"Brother, I don't sell my skills..."

"Meals are provided."

"..."

There was a brief silence, and Zeus, as if having made a great decision, said with a flushed face:

"I'll go wash the drum right now."

Zeus had prepared enough food, but a huge wave washed away all his food and the valuables he had taken from his uncle's house.

To survive on this cruel land, one can only rely on the temperature inside the rectum.

"Roll."

Fujimaru Kyoya kicked Zeus's drum, bringing this unreliable future King of Gods home. Meanwhile, a woman with long, light blue hair emerged from the nearby sea.

"Zeus, you are not yet able to fight against Kronos; you must obtain the help of Prometheus."

How could the Goddess of Wisdom Metis, not notice Zeus's departure? However, this could be used as a pretext to give Metis the opportunity to send him to Fujimaru Kyoya's side.

Although Fujimaru Kyoya was not known for his fighting prowess at this time, he was the first god to establish a connection with the Counter Force on Earth.

Fujimaru Kyoya's existence was essential for Zeus and Zeus gods of his time to obtain the "Divine Role" appropriate to them.

"For the sake of Zeus's future, I will be patient during this time."

Metis seemed to recall something beautiful, and instantly transformed into a steam-breathing goddess and sank into the sea, waiting for Zeus to be able to complete his work.

Chapter 282 The King of Gods Forging 87/165

[You brought Zeus back to the village, and the boy quickly became very popular with women.]

[You can clearly sense that Zeus seems to have developed intimate relationships with multiple women in a short period of time, going beyond friendship; you are deeply struck by how terrifying this boy is.]

[You discover that humanity's three greatest desires are fully embodied in this future King of Gods: eating, sex, and sleeping are practically the entirety of Zeus's life.]

Fujimaru Kyoya confirmed it: when Zeus wasn't human, this thing was truly a dog.

Although humans were still in a primitive society at this time, the village managed by Fujimaru Kyoya was one of the largest in the Greek region at that time. Now, people even suspected that he was the culprit when the female dog at the entrance of the village got pregnant.

As for the village being so large, it's not because Fujimaru Kyoya particularly good at governing the village; it's mainly because compared to the sustainable, exploitative practices of other gods, he could create a utopia without doing anything.

"Prometheus, you really are a strange fellow."

Zeus had heard about Fujimaru Kyoya's eccentricity from Metis long ago. Despite being the first god to cooperate with Earth's Counter Force, he did not use fear to spread faith in exchange for a stronger Divine Role.

For example, Gaia, the Earth Mother Goddess; Kronos, the God of Time; Ocean God Okeanos —these all have obvious symbolic meanings. In addition, these gods occasionally bring down Calamity, so it would be unreasonable if their faith wasn't at its peak.

The person before him should be aware of this principle, yet he still mingles among humans as Sage, and is even the first god to create a human form.

"You're constantly thinking about ways to become stronger, yet the simplest and most effective method is right in front of you, but you're oblivious to it."

Zeus looked at the village; its population far exceeded that of those who lived on the islands and worshipped Oceanus. If all of these people feared Fujimaru Kyoya, then this was a force to be reckoned with.

Fujimaru Kyoya able to change his Divine Role and become even more powerful.

"It's meaningless. If a person can only subdue others through fear, then their rule will not last long."

Fujimaru Kyoya was certainly aware of the immoral things the Gods had done over the years. For example, Ocean God Okeanos Zeus, would demand that his followers sacrifice young girls to serve him every year, otherwise their ships would be destroyed and they would die while fishing at sea.

What use are human girls to these Machine God? Are they just there to wax their Mecha Core?

After all, not everyone is like Zeus, indulging in close physical contact every day.

"Now that there are so few people in Greece, they are able to use faith to prevent us, as outsiders, from being rejected by the Counter Force and to gain abilities we don't normally have. What if there were more people?"

The Gods will soon realize what's going on.

The more humans who recognize them, the more recognition the alien Machine God will receive from the planet. Fujimaru Kyoya has already confirmed that the power of the Machine God is difficult to increase.

Even if Kronos could improve his power by "devouring" his own children, this would be an unsustainable method of improvement as Greek resources dwindled.

By then, these humans, whom they see as merely Immortality to secure their "green cards," will become a vital strategic resource.

This is the real reason why Fujimaru Kyoya wants to improve his strength.

"Fear can only bring temporary peace. Only by giving humanity hope will they defend you with their lives, even if you say nothing."

"Tsk~ No way, life isn't such a simple thing."

Zeus dismissed Fujimaru Kyoya's words with disdain. After all, he, being so afraid of death, understood the preciousness of life best and did not believe in any nonsense about "risking one's life for something".

Life is the most important thing; if you lose your life, everything else is lost.

[You weren't angry when Zeus denied you; you understood that it meant more than just fear of death; it showed respect for life.]

[You understand that it's difficult to enhance the power of the Machine God, so you try to use teaching Zeus as a trump card.]

[You discover that Zeus has a strong learning ability, quickly mastering any kind of knowledge. However, due to the lack of Mecha Core, he is unable to accomplish many things and quickly becomes lazy.]

[Talent "King of Gods Forging" Awakening: This is not the technique for cultivating a king, but the ability to cultivate a King of Gods; its level depends on your "creation".]

It's just another nonsensical thing.

Over the years, Fujimaru Kyoya has stopped paying attention to so-called "talent." For a god, the improvement of talent is negligible, especially since he often awakens some inexplicable talents in a short period of time.

However, his inability to improve his strength does not mean that a crisis will not occur.

"Does this break the rules?"

Fujimaru Kyoya looked at the message being sent in the Titan God's chat room. The request was simple: Fujimaru Kyoya had to return all the humans he had received in the past few days.

"Those humans were originally beings who escaped from our territory. They should have died to instill terror in more humans, but you took them in. You are the one who broke the rules."

While Kronos's words did not align with Fujimaru Kyoya's values, they did align with the values of the Titan God at that time.

They ruled by exploiting human fear, so it wasn't a big deal if someone escaped. After all, no matter how strong the humans of this era were, there were all sorts of Fantasy Species in the mountains and wilderness, and even the humans of the Age of Gods didn't survive so easily.

The deaths of those humans will deepen the fear, making it easier for the Titan to rule.

After all, humans only need to maintain a minimum level of population; too much would be troublesome for them to manage. It would be rare for someone like Fujimaru Kyoya to manage things so well.

This is the real reason why Fujimaru Kyoya a loner.

"Return those humans, and we will punish these escapees in full view of everyone, making them understand the price of disobeying us."

This is of course only part of the reason; the bigger reason is that Fujimaru Kyoya has gathered too many humans.

If Fujimaru Kyoya were to shift his offensive and use the same methods to manage the human population once it reached a certain level, his power would surge after changing his Divine Role, posing a threat to the Gods.

This is also what the current leader, Kronos, is worried about.

As long as the humans under Fujimaru Kyoya's control are within a safe range, everything is negotiable; if they exceed that range, then he will not be polite.

Clearly, with the birth of human beings, these gods did acquire some human characteristics, but they still retained a sense of superiority and aloofness.

Chapter 283 Zeus's special skill is... special skill 88/165

Is this everyone's opinion?

Fujimaru Kyoya understood that if this was merely an order from Kronos, he could still form alliances by recruiting others. However, if it was the unanimous opinion of the Titan God, then he might not be able to disobey.

In fact, everything was just as Fujimaru Kyoya predicted; everything was heading towards the worst possible outcome.

"We agree."

Among the gods who explicitly expressed this view were Celestial God Koios; Iapetus, the "father" of Fujimaru Kyoya; Sun God Hyperion; Goddess of Light Theia...

This group comprised almost half of the total. Although some Titan, such as Themis and Mnemosyne, remained silent, it was clear they were unwilling to contradict Kronos for the sake of humanity.

"I understand. It will take some time to count those humans."

Faced with such a disadvantage in numbers, Fujimaru Kyoya could only agree on the surface, and then figure out a solution later.

It's obviously not worth it to go against the Gods now; we can just agree first and then renege on our promises later.

"You've been eavesdropping for so long, come in."

After the call ended, Fujimaru Kyoya sensed an aura hiding outside the door. Clearly, for a god's perception, such stealth was still too low-level.

"It wasn't eavesdropping. I just saw you seemed to have something important to take care of, so I didn't want to disturb you."

Zeus pushed open the door and entered, only breathing a sigh of relief after confirming that Fujimaru Kyoya had disconnected.

"Are you really going to send those humans back?"

"What else can I do? I'm not Machine God primarily focused on combat, not to mention that most Machine God are on Kronos's side right now."

Fujimaru Kyoya's answer silenced Zeus briefly, but he quickly resumed his jovial demeanor.

"That's true. After all, we're no match for Kronos. Humans only live for a few decades anyway, so if we die, we die."

Zeus spoke as if he didn't care, but he was too young; his tone, manner, and mannerisms all betrayed that he wasn't as calm as he appeared.
