Giant God Sephalou, Moon and Sky

Hmm... Rovi stared at the figure that appeared before him, lost in thought.

This is the moon, right?

It makes perfect sense for the moon goddess to appear on the moon, right?

He didn't go to the wrong place, did he...?

"What the hell are you doing here?!" Rovi stared wide-eyed at the figure standing on the ground in front of him.

Artemis.

She is also Diana, one of the Roman gods.

She appeared right in front of him... and, like Mars, seemed to have retrieved her body that had been scattered in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers.

But why does it feel like after all the hardships I went through to get to the moon, she just came here and waited for me?

"Hmm..." After a moment of silence, the figure let out a soft moan as if waking from a dream.

At this moment, Artemis still had her long, silvery-white hair flowing freely, and her appearance was no different from before. However, her face was covered with a 'V'-shaped steel device that resembled night vision goggles, emitting a faint glow. Her figure was full and exposed, with only her voluptuous chest and lower abdomen covered by dark armor-like objects. Her rounded curves could be seen from her undulating chest and open arms, and her slightly crossed legs squeezed her plump flesh.

After that soft moan, the faint glow of her night-vision goggles began to focus...

Consciousness has returned.

Personality awakening.

"Is it... darling?" Artemis opened her mouth.

"No, no, don't give up on your dream, please keep sleeping!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Artemis's night vision goggles, which concealed her face, focused even more intently. "How outrageous! It's right in front of me?"

"That's just your imagination," Rovi said, spouting nonsense with a straight face. "They say that sleeping for too long can easily cause hallucinations—"

"Really? That's a real shame..."

"No regrets, please go back to sleep."

"Honey, do I look stupid?"

Do I look like your darling?

"..."

The conversation was inexplicable, the exchange was inexplicable.

For Rovi, among the many Greek goddesses, Artemis before him was undoubtedly the most troublesome.

It wasn't because of her strength. Although Artemis was one of the three most powerful gods in the Greek pantheon, second only to the King of Gods, she was still far inferior to Rovi.

What troubled Rovi was Artemis's 'obsession'.

A crazy month.

This is a rumor that existed in both Rome and Greece.

But Artemis appeared visibly happy. More than a thousand years had passed since the time of the Greeks; she had waited far too long...

"Honey, let me hug you!"

Artemis rushed forward, but missed her target. Her full, undulating, almost exaggerated figure landed on the moon's surface, displaying a beauty as radiant as the moon itself.

However, Rovi had already measured his body, and the hem of his long robe was slightly raised.

He raised his hand...

He tapped Artemis.

"Ouch... it hurts so much, darling!" Artemis instantly clutched her head, collapsing to the ground, her soft body pressing against the cold lunar surface, slightly deformed.

Rovi laughed, "You're supposed to get your hands on me?"

"That's just too much..."

The Greek moon goddess appeared quite dissatisfied, but this was only a superficial expression of displeasure.

Soon, she looked up at Rovi with a dazed expression, her mouth slightly open, the light from her night-vision goggles flickering. "Rovi, my dear Rovi..."

Over the long years, Artemis seemed to remain unchanged.

Rovi rubbed his forehead.

He took a breath, then squatted down slightly and stretched out his hand. "Get up!"

"I knew my dear wouldn't abandon me!"

"If you keep doing this, I'll abandon you?"

"Huh? No—isn't that going too far, darling?"

"I told you we're not darlings." Rovi took Artemis's outstretched hand and pulled her up; after all, they were 'acquaintances'.

Artemis and Little En have a close relationship; Artemis is like Little En brother.

After a long time, when they meet again, Rovi will not truly ignore her existence.

and...

What are you doing on the moon?

Is it related to the Moon Cell?

Is this related to the purpose of my coming here?

This is a question that Rovi must investigate thoroughly.

"Want to know?" Artemis held Rovi's hand tightly, her delicate and soft palm stroking the warm hand of the man before her.

She tilted her head, lifted her hips slightly as if to get up, but then suddenly stopped. "What can you give me, darling?"

"What do you want? A flick on the forehead?" Rovi raised his other hand. "Don't ask for anything too outrageous, I can grant you anything—hmm?"

Rovi's words came to an abrupt halt. He paused, looking at the hand that was holding his, and in a split second, he gently pulled that full body into his embrace.

Artemis hugged herself.

A fair and voluptuous figure instantly drew close, a large expanse of her beautiful naked body almost touching, a warm collision, a delicate and soft intertwining.

The Greek moon goddess, tightly embracing her beloved...

"Honey, can I hug you...?"

"I'm—a little cold?"

It is indeed very cold.

Although it was soft and delicate, Rovi could feel that beneath the Moon Goddess's skin flowed a coldness.

That is the bone and blood of 'machinery'.

"It seems you really have experienced something strange?" This time, Rovi didn't break free but fell into deep thought, "Is it because of this that you were able to retrieve the body of Yi in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers?"

"That's right, darling, you're as clever as ever!" Artemis still held Rovi tightly in her arms, but turned her face to face Rovi as he looked over.

Artemis's lips, outlined in bright red, were beautiful and lovely. She gently stroked her lips across Rovi's face.

What happened after Rovi defeated Zeus, the omnipotent god, and ended the Olympus myth?

Athena became the highest-ranking god-king in Greece, establishing the fourth generation of gods in Greek Mythology, with all other gods subordinate to her.

However, Artemis was not among them.

She left Greece.

She is looking for Luo Rovi.

But Artemis had no idea where Rovi would appear from after that.

Therefore, she needed to find the highest point as a vantage point, an area where she could see the entire world, as a place to find Rovi.

"In the battle against the Harvest Star Vanguard more than 10,000 years ago, King of Gods Zeus, unified all the powers of our twelve divine bodies... After His collapse, those unified powers actually returned to us... However, not all gods chose to reclaim their own bodies."

"Or rather, the gods, who had become accustomed to existing as pure deities, have all chosen to completely abandon their physical bodies."

"But... I didn't give up."

"Because I want to find you, I want to find my dear..." The highest and farthest place in the entire world that can be viewed is undoubtedly the place where they stand.

The Moon is a satellite that orbits the Earth outside its atmosphere.

This place is inaccessible to the gods of nature; Artemis can only reach it by retrieving her own body.

"As it turns out, my choice was not wrong."

"I've finally been waiting for you..."

"That way, I can have no regrets, darling."

Artemis gently stroked Rovi, a blush rising on her delicate face, looking slightly dazed, but also with a hint of... reluctance?

"That sounds like a deathbed message," Rovi sighed. He glanced sideways at Artemis, who was clinging tightly to him, and asked, "Aren't you going to tell me the truth?"

"Huh—the truth? What truth?"

Artemis tilted her head, looking puzzled.

"The truth is... the place we are here is not the moon, but the interior of the ' Moon Cell '."

"The truth is, you weren't waiting on the moon all this time; you were... fighting."

Yes, right now, this is the Moon Cell.

Rovi had actually entered the interior of the Moon Cell Moon Cell ago; the transmission channel had directly sent him inside.

It was cold all around, but it was just a simulated scene.

The moment Rovi saw Artemis, he knew this—having mastered the second-generation Machine God, he was all too aware of the Machine God's state in different environments.

The moon goddess's form that appeared was not the form that should exist in the universe.

Instead, it takes place in a 'simulated environment'.

In combat mode—

Artemis fought on.

She retrieved her body and went to the moon, initially to find Rovi.

But they unexpectedly entered the ' Moon Cell '.

They encountered a formidable enemy.

Intending to destroy the world...

A formidable foe.

"The truth is that you want to find me, but you have to fight."

"The truth is..."

"Thank you for your hard work in protecting the world."

Rovi reached out and gently stroked the goddess in his arms—a beautiful goddess, leaning against him, yet she was nothing more than a... little girl.

Artemis paused, pursed her lips, and slowly released Rovi. The light from her night-vision goggles trembled slightly. "No wonder Athena said that my dear is the one whose wisdom surpasses hers on the Mountain of Wisdom."

The moon goddess raised her hand and slowly placed it on the night vision goggles on her face.

With a flick of her fingers, she took it off.

The eyes beneath that...

He is blind.

The once emerald green eyes of the deity were now dull and lifeless.

"It's ugly, isn't it, my dear?" Artemis smiled, her eyes clearly damaged in the course of battle.

Moreover, the damage was so severe that even the gods could not repair it. "But I do not regret it."

"Protecting the world is none of my business."

"I just want to protect..."

"And what about the world you, my dear, exist in!?"

There is no wind on the moon.

But at this moment, seeing Artemis's sincere and beautiful expression, Rovi's heart, as a human being, was clearly stirred.

Artemis's affection for him stemmed solely from Little En's influence.

This is also why Rovi has always avoided her.

But over the years, she has been able to hold on and recall that the feelings she once simulated were long ago her own emotions.

"God is nothingness, God is cold... God is mechanical and indifferent, but I yearn for light and warmth."

"Teacher Enkidu gave me light, my dear..."

"It gave me warmth."

"So--"

"I'm very happy."

"I... am delighted."

A buzzing sound echoed from above as the hovering, fluidly beautiful Machine God starship, Artemis's Machine God form, Sniper Starship, slowly propelled and transformed, extending its enormous 'cannon muzzle'.

Sniper type, as the name suggests, is a machine with highly targeted firepower.

In the instant of its transformation and deformation, a tremendous roar resounded within this simulated lunar environment.

Amidst the billowing dust, a figure appeared on the horizon at the edge of sight.

It has a human form, yet it appears tall and majestic. Its eyes, which droop like black holes with edges radiating red light, are a deep, dark shape. A pair of huge, soft 'ears' sprout from the top of its head, like colorful threads drifting in the wind.

Its form is female, with a slender waist, rounded breasts and hips, and countless fine lines covering its body. Rhomboid crystal blocks are embedded in its chest and palms, and it rotates slowly.

As soon as He appeared, a terrifying aura swept over us instantly.

Both Artemis and Rovi could sense a strong, suppressed aura.

A rational thing that restrains everything.

The power of 'Yinming' that restrains everything.

Sefar... I've heard this name countless times, and encountered countless things related to it, but this is the first time Rovi has truly faced it head-on.

And that is the being that Artemis has been fighting against for all this time.

With the help of the Moon Cell...

He was dealing with Sefar was constantly trying to escape.

Yes, the Harvest Star Vanguard that carried a meteor into the Earth-Moon System 12,000 years ago, whose main body was blocked by the Moon Cell on the Moon and sealed away, has long since been revived.

As a mechanism for the extinction of the Ming Dynasty... He has also been trying to leave this place.

Go and fulfill your responsibilities.

Destroy all light on earth.

The Moon Cell, which is essentially used for 'recording', actually lacks offensive capabilities.

That's why when Artemis of the Moon arrived on the Moon, she was dragged into it by the Moon Cell.

The Moon Cell made a pact with Artemis.

Ask Artemis for help to stop Sefar from escaping.

Artemis did not refuse.

She knew the terror of the real body of the Lancer Artoria Cypharuci, who had entered Earth, because she had seen Sefar's body.

But she never gave it her all.

When a creature exerts all its strength, it will run out of energy and find it difficult to maintain its self-awareness.

She wanted to see Rovi again.

And now.

Artemis met Rovi, and she... had no more 'regrets'.

"I am just a cold machine, I am just a monster flowing with reason... I can get light, I can get warmth, I am already very happy."

Artemis slowly opened her arms in front of Rovi.

Over there, under the aim of the ' Sniper Starship ', Sefar let out a crisp roar.

The moon goddess's body shone with dazzling light.

The moon goddess's human form smiled.

A fleeting moment of brilliance.

Dazzling for a fleeting moment.

The goddess who fought to protect... shines brighter than the natural moon.

"But have you considered one possibility? I came here—"

"So, it's all for the purpose of taking your place?"

With a loud bang.

Sefar soared into the sky, crashing into the heavens with a crisp roar.

But the next second, it suddenly sank and fell back to the ground.

A massive, steel-clad machine.

The Rovi-go Mechanical God—

The King of the Sky's mecha!

Now that he's here... how can he allow someone he knows to die before his eyes?

"The moon and you are not a good match."

"Because behind you... is the entire sky!"

It's me—

Rovi, take a step forward.

The Machine God clenched its fist, and lava spewed forth.
