Zeus Wandering the Void
Rovi's consciousness drifted into the distance, flowing beyond the world. He knew he was completely dead, his body weakened and exhausted, his soul at its limit. After the outer layers were peeled away, only the most essential 'core' remained, and at this moment, it was heading towards the Throne of Heroes beyond the world.
He died from the curse of the gods, from stealing the wisdom of the heavens, or from being robbed by the Primal Mother Goddess —strictly speaking, Rovi could be said to have died simultaneously from the convergence of these three fates.
Regardless of which one it is, it's enough for him to step onto the 'seat', let alone three stacked on top of each other.
At this Present Moment, Rovi Wei is full of confidence and anticipation.
At the same time as this consciousness drifted, ripples appeared in the pitch-black 'world' all around.
A clear, crisp voice rang out: "Aaaaaaa—"
The view behind me shattered amidst the ripples.
He drifted towards his primordial consciousness, then plummeted in an instant—as if something had grabbed his feet and pulled him down...
What the hell? What is that?
Don't come any closer!
Rovi opened his eyes as if startled awake.
His face was covered in sweat—all from being terrified.
Before him stood Goddess Tiamat, who looked down at him with joy on her exquisite face beneath her long, flowing hair that cascaded like a waterfall.
"That's great," she said, "You're still alive, and so am I."
Rovi instantly understood everything. "..."
Good? What a fine hammer!
Why did you save me when I was perfectly fine?
Let me die of a horrible death!
Rovi wanted to say that, but seeing the goddess in front of him so happy, he swallowed his words.
Because he could feel that the curse in his body seemed to have completely disappeared, and his body no longer felt as weak as before.
This is a feeling of new life.
Instead of the previous state of three converging.
In other words, if he were to die here now, he would most likely be unable to obtain the power he deserves—as was stated from the beginning, Rovi must ensure that the one seated is himself, not a side of himself, or a 'template' etched into the world.
Therefore, he must die under the influence of the great achievements he himself created.
Even knowing that Tiamat would never lay a hand on him, Rovi was always cautious when he needed to be.
Being slapped to death by the Primal Mother Goddess wouldn't even qualify one for the throne.
Not to mention that this place is outside the world.
The three events before the world originated within the world and could be recorded, but provoking the Primal Mother Goddess here and being killed by her is unrelated to the world and therefore cannot be recorded.
'What's wrong...?'
Seeing that Rovi had been silent since waking up, Tiamat tilted her head and leaned down. Her mountain-like body trembled violently in her sight. Her legs stretched out deep and long, covered with dragon scales that seemed to tighten around them, reflecting both slenderness and fullness. They were quite eye-catching in the pitch-black void.
At that moment, the only 'person' present was Rovi.
Rovi glanced sideways and sighed, "It's nothing..."
Then Rovi saw a smile on Tiamat's face.
Her star-like eyes narrowed slightly, and her moist, crimson lips curved into a smile. The beauty emanating from her exquisite face was like the first ray of light in the primordial chaos that shattered the world.
'That's good,' she said.
It appeared sincere and earnest.
Rovi doesn't have to die.
She can still feel alive.
Tiamat was overjoyed.
After accepting the offer, Rovi could only smile.
He felt he had to adapt to this new state as soon as possible—in fact, the moment he awoke, he already knew what Tiamat had done to him.
With her own strength, she reborn Rovi's body and soul.
It truly manifests in the original state.
This allows Rovi to truly merge with the power left behind by the Gaia, who created the world, contained within the ' Enuma Elish '.
Although the previous Rovi was already the Enuma Elish itself.
But the sword is a vessel, a container that carries power, and so is Rovi, though not anymore.
He was originally in a similar state to Gilgamesh.
But now he is more like ' Enkidu '.
This different appearance from before naturally requires time to adapt, and Rovi also felt that he had to be completely familiar with it—only by fully controlling his power could he avoid missing a perfect opportunity at the perfect moment.
Yes, although his 'suicide' plan failed once again, Rovi felt that he had not yet reached the point of giving up.
Having reached the source of the people, even if he couldn't let go of that power, at least in terms of perseverance, Rovi believed he was second to none.
'Aaaaa'
Tiamat raised her finger and gently stroked Rovi's head.
Rovi was stunned, then narrowed his eyes slightly.
She was helping herself to organize the new energy within her body and adapt to this new state.
' Rovi, are you alright?'
"It's alright, thank you..."
'You are my companion, and the first and last child I conceived.'
'Can you stay with me forever?'
Tiamat enjoys the feeling of being alive.
She also loved Rovi, who allowed her to experience this feeling in this eternally silent space.
Is it possible?
When it is impossible.
Rovi couldn't stay in this Sea of Imaginary Numbers forever, enduring endless drifting. He had to return to the world and reclaim what belonged to him... But before he could speak, he saw the Tiamat goddess suddenly raise her head.
Her originally gentle and warm pink starry eyes instantly turned sharp, her long, water-like hair suddenly spread out, and her retracted fingers, covered with dragon scales, extended and instantly transformed into long, narrow claws.
Half of it is 'dragon'.
Tiamat's Dragonification is the manifestation of her power over all things.
This also shows that they are on high alert.
A vigilant stance when facing the enemy!
'Void... Enemy detected... Hostility confirmed, target locked, determined to be: Planetary-level life form.'
A cold, mechanical voice, like a technological creation, echoed through the Sea of Imaginary Numbers.
Just like Tiamat,
The entity that emitted the sound was also capable of forcibly distorting and creating something 'existing' within the 'nothingness' of the Sea of Imaginary Numbers.
That's why Rovi was able to sense the sound coming from afar.
That's why he was able to see the light that shone at the same time...
The dazzling gold illuminated the endless, deep void, and the 'suspended' shadow stood upon it like a magnificent colossus.
Covered in steel and woven with gold and silver, it is like an ancient and majestic being wearing a helmet. It has only one head, but this one head alone reveals its boundless vastness and magnificence.
His eyes gleamed with a cold light.
His eyes revealed endless information.
He is the God who wanders the void, the God of all gods in the Greek region.
The Zeus's true form.
Almost instantly, Rovi learned his name.
It originated from his memories before he traveled to the West.
It also originates from the divine power of 'revelation', which manifests its majestic existence to all things—the omnipotent Twelve Main Gods, once shook the Harvest Star Vanguard, and although he suffered a crushing defeat, he barely managed to retain his broken body and wander in the void.
Though damaged, it remains strong.
Thunder was brewing in His eyes, and His whole being exuded an aura of destruction.
He showed hostility towards Tiamat.
And so in that instant,
The Mother Goddess of Chaos of the Dragonification also roared at Him.
No longer crisp, no longer gentle.
Rather, it is the mighty power of the Primal Mother Goddess who encompasses and creates all things!
Tiamat was provoked to hostility.
But at the same time, Rovi noticed the source of the light below Zeus.
Although the specifics were unclear, it was undoubtedly the aura of the world.
The area illuminated by that light is equivalent to the scope of the world.
One cannot sit in a seat of authority before, but if one steps into the world and performs an amazing feat, then it's a different story.
Rovi...
I'm smitten!
