Rovi's Mecha Would Eventually Meet Sparkle Sparkle Again

In later myths, after King of Gods Zeus defeated the Titans, he also received a prophecy from Gaia, the goddess of the earth.

Gaia prophesied that Zeus would one day be defeated by his son with the Goddess of Wisdom Metis.

Therefore, Zeus swallowed Metis, which, although still unable to prevent the birth of offspring, transformed her from a son into a daughter.

That is the existence of Athena in the original mythology.

This world, where all gods are machines, is naturally different. Even in this world, Athena is qualified to become the God-King—because she was originally born as Starfleet Flagship Fortress.

That's why she was able to bring many Gods of Natural Concepts under her Subordinate God, forming her own 'minor gods' under the King of Gods Zeus.

That's why Zeus forced her to become a ' Virgin Goddess '.

His purpose was to shroud her mind in a layer of dust, so that Athena would never be able to see her true nature.

Now, the dust has been brushed away.

Athena's rise to become the fourth generation of god-king after Zeus was unstoppable.

"Damn it... I should have sealed her away long ago!" Zeus cursed in his battle-ready mode.

Hera sighed and quietly walked away.

Apollo, seemingly oblivious, turned his head and looked up at the sky, gazing at the shadow of the sun's crown cast upon him by the Subordinate God Helios. At that moment, he suddenly felt that it was quite absurd to let his sister be the king of the gods.

On the other side, Cronus of the Abyss finally lost his self-awareness and personality, and likewise, he lost the cold intelligence and divinity of the Atlantis Mechanical God.

Because Rovi's consciousness, which had received support from the God King Athena, followed closely behind and covered the massive machine.

Cronus has vanished.

Rovi controlled Cronus —or rather, Cronus's body became part of his existence, another form of his being.

The resulting massive 'base' compensated for Rovi's long-standing shortcomings in terms of scale.

Of course, since it is 'devouring', there will inevitably be some loss in the process.

This was enough for Rovi to complete an instantaneous advancement, transforming from Area Lord God of the island scale to the supreme god among gods, Planetary Lord God of the continent scale, that is, a god-king level.

Athena, who helped Rovi achieve this leap, also received punishment.

She who came was already a god-king.

She has now broken free from the constraints Zeus imposed on her, but only possesses the potential for advancement.

However, as they kissed and their skin touched, the primal aura that Rovi unconsciously exuded when he completed his advancement made the already aroused goddess even more infatuated. She twisted her waist, craving more, desiring more, and yearning for the scent of the man she was embracing.

At this moment, she also completed the transition from chief god to god-king.

The God-King is the ruler of all gods.

The crimson storm swirled together, forming a natural barrier that blocked any possible attacks.

Rovi has regained his mobility, and all I can do is sigh.

I'm numb.

He didn't push him away like that, but that wasn't his style—he had already told Heracles that Rovi knew he was gradually embarking on a path of no return. Of the two kinds of 'scum,' he actually hated irresponsible people more.

He has always wanted to return to the Throne of Heroes and reclaim his power, stemming from the insecurity of being in another world, a dangerous world, and even more so from his own 'greed'.

So at that moment, he closed his eyes again, letting Athena take what she wanted.

The hand gently caressed her waist and hips, swaying...

The impact originating from the soul intertwined with each other, layer upon layer, until the very end.

A buzzing sound echoed through the the Abyss of Tartarus.

Rovi opened his eyes instantly.

Athena remained lost in thought, and Luo Wei gradually emerged from her emotional turmoil. However, her eyes were no longer the same as before. Previously, she had been concealing her feelings and finding various excuses for her infatuation. Now, the shackles on her heart had been broken, and when she looked at Rovi again, her love was undisguised.

"Rovi, be the only one I love!" Silver hair fell down, the goddess's delicate body swayed slightly, and her red eyes shone with a light as if they were filled with stars.

Why bring up these things at a time like this?

Why didn't you do this sooner?

Rovi glanced sideways, then suddenly laughed.

The one and only love, this is the vow Athena made, but it was no longer made by force, it was a vow she made willingly.

She would never change it, and she would never allow herself to change it.

She will be the goddess of the future.

At that highest position, she would not be alone; she was willing to share with Rovi, and even dedicate everything she had, including her glory.

The love of a goddess is such a sincere and profound thing.

Or perhaps the Greece that comes to pass will become an era of equal respect for men and women?

Rovi slowly released Athena: "Wait for my return."

Athena knew what he was about to do and couldn't help but worry. "You won't die, will you?"

I wish I were dead... Luo Rovi knew he definitely couldn't say that.

So all he could answer was "No".

Then he lifted his foot and walked step by step toward the core of Tartarus in the abyss. With each step, his body grew taller and taller, and his shadow seemed to be stretched countless times by the shimmering light of the lava.

His robes took on a metallic sheen, and a silvery-white armor-like substance appeared on his head... His body became enormous, covered entirely in steel, its curves possessing a cold, mechanical beauty, and 'wings' made of dense steel bars sprouted from his back.

It transformed from a human into a ' Machine God '.

This is a form that is extremely similar to, yet different from, the previous Cronus.

It is another life form that Rovi obtained after consuming Cronus.

Authority Holder form —

The Rovi-go Mechanical God.

Roar!!!

At that moment, the Titan Giants under his control roared.

At this moment, the War Goddess donned a heavy silver armor, gripped her Spear and Shield tightly, and stood solemnly.

Since he said he wouldn't die, she chose to believe him.

She will wait for his return.

"Come on!" Rovi clenched his fist, which was made of steel. As he clenched it, the power of the god of domination was instantly manifested. Combined with the covenant that Poseidon made with him on behalf of the sea, the vast power surged out like the sea in an instant, rising and falling, layer upon layer, and enveloping the entire Tartarus in a moment.

Boom, boom, boom—like the sound of war drums, like the beating of a heart, the space woven from the fiery currents on all sides of Tartarus began to slowly close.

Here, Rovi will complete the final step in devouring Tartarus.

With fists clenched and arms outstretched as if to embrace the world, the power of the primordial stars revolving emanated from the massive Mechanical Body.

Rippling, flowing.

Hades, the god of the underworld, suddenly turned his head; Zeus, the god of the sky, exclaimed in surprise; Poseidon, the god of the sea, smiled.

In Arcadia, Atalanta sat on a tree, swinging her legs, gazing into the distance. On the Argo, Heracles, who was clinking glasses with Jason, who had just returned and whose demeanor had become extremely heroic despite his frivolous and carefree attitude, suddenly looked into the distance. Chiron stood among the mountains, Enkidu's eyelashes trembled slightly from the blooming 'roof'.

The convergence of Tartarus in the abyss triggered a subconscious response in the minds of all living beings.

Crimson overwhelmed consciousness, and the chaos of the abyss obscured everything in sight.

Athena stood quietly in Tartarus, watching the abyss recede and herself transform from the fiery currents into the void.

It wasn't that she moved, it was that the environment changed.

A dazzling divine light emanated from her, and the authority of the gods belonging to her surrounded her. Athena, as the queen of gods, fully unified all the power. She wove the glory of the gods into a crown, wore it on her head, and created a magnificent divine realm in the void.

He then slowly walked forward—before him, Tartarus had vanished, and so had Rovi.

He successfully devoured Tartarus, successfully absorbing this abyssal world that had existed since the beginning into the massive Mechanical Body, using it as the inexhaustible energy to drive the Machine God.

But that primordial, chaotic aura caused him to fall in an instant.

He is 'dead'.

They crossed from the abyss into the underworld, reaching the boundary of death.

However, Athena picked up a key from where she had just stood; it was the shadow of the ' Key of Heaven '.

"If he returns, it will surely be through this key." Athena gripped it tightly, a gentle smile on her beautiful face.

She gently placed it against her chest, close to her skin; the so-called Key of Heaven had always been something that Rovi himself possessed.

'The future King of the Gods Athena, attained enlightenment in the abyss. She witnessed the complete demise of the Titans, the final collapse of Tartarus in the primordial abyss, and the hero's journey from mortal to god.'

'The sole sovereign who governs all things, supporting wings far stronger than steel.'

He then entered the underworld.

His family thus crossed the boundaries of the world and set foot in the unknown.

"To rise up a nation and protect its king."

Norse mythology, the place where the World Tree's roots reach, is also one of the three lowest-level worlds that make up the nine layers of the Norse Age of Gods Giants. In Jotunheim, the Titan Giants who were sent there by Rovi roared just before Tartarus disappeared.

With the massive and sturdy bodies of the Norse Giants and the power of the Second Generation Greek Gods, they launched an attack on the arriving giants.

They will establish a Giant realm of giants here, awaiting the return of their king, their ruler.

And before that, they found Ereshkigal, the Mesopotamian Goddess of the Underworld had only caught a fleeting glimpse of.

"Strange giant..." At the top of the World Tree, a silver-haired Valkyrie named ' Brunhilde ' lowered her gaze and gripped the spear in her hand tightly.

Thump.

Having regained his human form, Rovi landed firmly on his feet. He opened his eyes and saw a dark and deep place, devoid of light and shadow. The only visible scenery consisted of sprawling black rocks, and looking down from the adjacent cliff, he couldn't see the bottom of the cliff.

A chilling wind swept through the air, carrying with it the smell of death—

Without a doubt, this is the underworld.

The place that Rovi had visited countless times.

As a dead man Rovi will inevitably reach the boundary of death. According to his original plan, he will gradually shed the last shell of his soul here, leaving behind a trace of his spiritual core, preserving all his marks, ascending the Throne of Heroes, and taking all his power.

only...

Despite the differences in regions, pantheons, and the deities who govern the underworld, the environment of the underworld must vary.

But why is what I see now exactly the same as the Mesopotamian Underworld?

The scenery and the atmosphere in the air are exactly the same.

Why does that voice sound so familiar?

Rovi glanced sideways at the depths.

"Hahaha, the King thought someone had trespassed into the kingdom ruled by the great King, whose glory shines like the sun and moon. Turns out it's you, you wild dog who disregards the king and roams the land on your own!"

"How dare they do such an earth-shattering thing after returning to the world!"

Amidst the rampant laughter, a dazzling golden shadow was brought forth.

With such a signature phrase and that signature laugh, there's no way Rovi wouldn't guess who it is.

That is ' Gilgamesh '.

How did he end up here?

Isn't this the Greek Underworld underworld?

Despite having countless questions in his mind, Rovi spoke up with, "It's you again, you foul-mouthed Golden Pikachū— "

He looked up into the deep, dark depths.

"Hmph. The King of the Ninja Kingdom has something to ask you!" The figure who walked out of there crossed his arms. His golden hair was still shining, and his skin had returned to its former fair and clean state. He was tall and strong. He was covered with golden shoulder armor and a battle skirt. The crimson patterns engraved on his skin were extremely conspicuous in the darkness.

The non-god King of the Underworld, Gilgamesh's crimson eyes, and the snake-like shadows both magnified simultaneously.

"He used power that the King of the Second Rank did not allow without authorization, took on responsibilities that should have been borne by the King of the Second Rank without authorization, and then left without permission."

"Now, you have even dared to trespass into the courtyard of the Second King!" Gilgamesh spread his arms wide. "Your sins have accumulated to countless degrees, and the punishment you will receive is one of unparalleled culpability!?"

"Bullshit." Rovi struck his habitual pose—raising his middle finger.

"Hahaha... It seems that even when wandering outside the world, wild dogs still can't shake off their barking habits!" As expected, Gilgamesh wasn't angry; on the contrary, he seemed quite pleased.

Is this guy a masochist? He gets happier the more he gets scolded... But as Gilgamesh laughed, Rovi couldn't help but laugh too.

"Idiot," he said.

"Cerebral palsy," Gilgamesh responded, paused, then suddenly added, "Welcome, my friend!"

From surprise and doubt to complete confirmation at this moment.

Upon sensing Rovi's presence, the former King of Uruk, now the current ruler of the Mesopotamian Underworld, who had immediately come to negotiate with Hades, King of the Underworld, finally opened his heart and confirmed that the other party was indeed Rovi – only the way he confirmed it was somewhat strange.

But in any case, after a long period of time, Gilgamesh finally got his return.

No matter how many years have passed, it has all been worthwhile... my friend.
