Retro? No, Reform!

The soldiers in Uruk, having traversed mountains and valleys to reach their destination, began construction in earnest.

Without performing miracles or employing mystery, these warriors, who were originally slumbering in the underworld of Uruk, simply built one colossal machine after another on the spot. They used logs as tracks, transported boulders from afar, and used planks as levers to pile heavy objects high into the air...

One day, the giant wall took shape.

Another day, surrounded by palaces.

"How amazing..." Hestia's eyes sparkled as she observed the wall in front of her in the sunlight.

Although it was made of stacked small stones, it appeared extremely sturdy, and the white filler between the gaps, after hardening, was just as hard as rock.

"Is this the technology of Uruk?" The young-looking Goddess of the Hearth looked up at the sprawling wall.

This level of human resource and technological expertise was something that Greece at that time did not possess.

That being said... why did even the Goddess of the Hearth come along?

Rovi stared blankly, even though he had only intended to bring the goddess, with whom he had some connection, over for fun.

"It's really amazing—" On the other side, compared to Hestia's merely amazed reaction, Athena ran her fair hand across the wall, a thoughtful look flashing in her ruby-like eyes.

She looked at Rovi: "This technology shouldn't be too complicated, right?"

"If you want it, I can give it to you anytime." Rovi didn't care. The dissemination of advanced technology shouldn't be kept secret. Besides, his close relationship with Athena naturally proved the inevitable close relationship between Uruk and Athens. Sharing technology would also have great benefits.

Then Athena happily leaned in and kissed Rovi.

Although it was just a brief touch, anyone could see that she was just using it as an excuse to get intimate.

Hestia: "..."

"Goddess Athena!" Atalanta had been silent until now, was also anxious.

Unfortunately, Artemis, the chief goddess of Atalanta, was driven away by Little En, so there was no one to help her... Rovi glanced sideways and looked up.

On the high wall, long, emerald-green hair fluttered in the wind, and a plain robe billowed, vaguely outlining the girl's slender figure.

Little En remains unchanged, but Yu seems to have changed again.

Her figure was more graceful than before, and her chest had noticeable curves, though they weren't very visible under the loose robes.

She gazed into the distance at the city that was gradually taking shape.

Similar layout, similar scenery.

Although they are in different regions.

But it also reminded this girl, who called herself a 'broken soldier,' of the past.

The lush greenery flashed by in a fleeting moment.

"It's true... Rovi." The girl's soft murmur reached Rovi's ears on the wind.

Rovi also smiled.

The goddess over there was making a ruckus, but soldiers from Uruk came to her side.

"My lord, a man claiming to be Aeneas, the Prince of Troy, has come to us, saying he wants to help us build a city in return for the kindness he previously showed to Troy."

Without Rovi's intervention, Troy would likely have been destroyed by the Greek coalition.

This is indeed a debt of gratitude.

"Aeneas?" Rovi pondered, he seemed to have heard of this name before.

He was probably a Greek demigod, right?

"Pass it on." Rovi replied solemnly, "From now on, if anyone wants to join Uruk City, accept them all. Give them whatever they want to learn, and let them know whatever they want to know."

At this point, Rovi paused before continuing, "Tell everyone, not just those inside the city, but those outside, that I will build an academy in the city."

"The academy will be filled with endless books, with thousands of volumes, so that anyone who comes can go and see them."

"Regardless of human nature, religion, science, technology, military or political systems..."

"No restrictions whatsoever!"

"Yes!" the Uruk soldier shouted in response.

In the distance, a young man stood gazing at the figure surrounded by divine radiance.

The man named Aeneas did indeed come to repay a debt of gratitude, and to some extent, he also came because he had heard of the wise man's reputation and hoped to learn something from him.

Hearing the response from afar, Aeneas finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Rovi wanted to change customs and bring Uruk back to the Greek land, to stealthily replace it, and to enrage Zeus to the greatest extent possible; conquest alone was not enough.

Assimilation is the best course of action.

"Huh?! So generous?" Hestia suddenly raised her hand. "Then I want to learn too!"

"Wisdom?" Athena was also somewhat excited.

"This is boring." Atalanta curled her lip, showing no intention of leaving.

Little En smiled and watched Rovi.

It's not just that she hasn't changed.

Rovi, in fact, has never changed.

'The wise man shall build a city on the earth, and in the city a school.'

That was the first library, and also the first academy and hall, in ancient Western civilization.

'It gathered the powerful and influential figures from the surrounding city-states into its academies, enabling them to acquire wisdom, and then, upon returning to their own cities, to apply what they had learned in practice.'

The city, where sunrise and sunset meet, stands firm and unmoved.

Those who left this city stirred up change in other places.

They call themselves the Men of Rovi, people from the land where wisdom is born.

The second rise of Greek civilization originated here, and Rome's long and glorious history could not shake its grandeur. A thousand years later, King of Conquerors Iskandar II, pointed to the city, now only dust and sand, and exclaimed to his teacher Aristotle: "It's a pity I wasn't there to look up to that wisdom of origin."

'The Origin of the Ming Dynasty'

High in the heavens, in a dimension higher Olympus, at the edge where the mortal world meets the Sea of Imaginary Numbers.

Lightning flashed and burst forth, and the enormous Mechanical Body lay there like a palace.

This is the place where Zeus resided.

That magnificent, divine Machine God was, without a doubt, Zeus.

Unlike the other gods who have completely shed their Mechanical Body, Zeus, who unified the bodies of the gods and fought against them when the Harvest Star Vanguard attacked in the past, still retained his full power.

At its peak, the omnipotent power that unites the Twelve Main Gods bodies.

Therefore, his personality is not as stable as that of other gods, and the mechanical feel brought about by his physical body is still difficult to get rid of.

In order to maintain his personality, he exhibited desires that were more intense than those of the other gods.

The faith he needs is one that transcends the sum total of all the gods.

However...

"Greece's faith in me has diminished." A deep, humming voice echoed at the edge of the Sea of Void, as a slowly rising light swept across countless complex messages.

King of Gods Zeus, turned his gaze to the human world, searching for the source of the mutation.

We must observe changes in faith.

One can only gain profound understanding by personally immersing oneself in human society.

At that moment, a beam of light descended from Zeus's body, shining upon the world, and within that light, a tall figure slowly emerged.

A pale-skinned man with a bushy, unruly beard and hair, and a majestic appearance like a lion, appeared on the earth.

The sky is vast and the sun is rising.

King of Gods Zeus, stepped onto the earth and walked towards the human world.

He had not set foot in the mortal world for a long time; the last time he went to defeat Cronus, he only went directly to the exit of Tartarus in the abyss.

Or perhaps... it's time to let people know that the majesty of the God-King is absolutely inviolable.
