The King's Eye, overlooking all things, contained waves of heat.
The citizens being watched couldn't help but clench their fists, their breaths caught as if by a pair of large hands.
"But, faced with such a result, you chose to remain here, to offer everything for the country you love! You have fought until now with the resolve to perish alongside your beloved homeland! This resolve, even if the world denies you, as your king, your leader! I will affirm it!
My citizens! Everything you have done has meaning, something even the almighty Olympus gods cannot erase!
It is precisely because of this that Pellasgi is an ideal city-state...
Even if we are destroyed, we will be etched into human history! We can let the world, even the world itself, bear witness! Even gods as powerful as those of Olympus cannot shake our resolve!
To surpass mythology with our great deeds is by no means a laughing matter!"
Moran suddenly shouted sternly at everyone.
This fervor infected the citizens of Pellasgi.
Gradually, their worries were dispelled and driven away, and they responded to this king from the depths of their souls.
Once small sparks continued to burn.
Now, they had spread into a bonfire that scorched the heavens.
"Listen well! My citizens! All prepare for battle! This is a war against Outer Gods, to defend what we love! Let us settle the karma of good and evil that has been forged since the Primal Mother Goddess! This is an epic that will be sung for a thousand years! At the same time, it is a time for us to defend our glory, my glory is with you—!"
Moran concluded with a flick of his hand.
At this moment, the scene was far beyond anything the world could witness.
"Oooohhh oh oh oh oh oh—!!"
"Our glory is with My Emperor, Pellasgi will last forever—!!"
"Defend our glory—!!!"
Tens of thousands of citizens raised their fists and shouted in unison.
This wave of sound, formed by the convergence of countless beliefs, was like the roar of a mythological dragon and a storm.
Enemies who heard it would surely fall into panic or confusion, and the weak would immediately faint. It was an absolute wave of belief.
The entire island seemed to tremble.
"Heh..."
Moran looked at the citizens who had accompanied him to the end, a smile of relief appearing on his face.
What if the road ahead was destruction?
Even if they walked a path destined to collapse.
They would use every means to ignite the flame of hope; this was the most brilliant and confident radiance of humanity.
ps: It's almost time for the premium chapters, and the plot is nearing its climax.
Let me push the author one more time. Whether it's flowers or monthly votes, they are the motivation for the author to keep fighting!
Chapter 49: Divine Army Descends, Battle Begins [Seeking Flowers! Seeking Monthly Votes!]
[The sky seemed as if it would fall]
[Wild winds raged and swept by]
[Dense black dots appeared on the horizon; these were the enemy armies sailing on the sea, acting on the Divine Oracle of the Olympus gods to punish Pellasgi]
[Athens, Sparta, Thebes, Macedon]
[The armies of the four nations laid down their arms at this moment, unanimously choosing to point their spears at you]
[Simply because you are all heretics]
[Those who defy the gods only have a dead end]
"...They've come?"
Moran stood on the head of a giant dragon.
He looked down at the armies closing in on Pellasgi.
[As Artemis said]
[The warships of the myriad enemy forces contained an extremely strong pressure of Mana, Divine Aura was overflowing from them, and the protection of the Six Pillars Gods covered the enemy army]
[However, the Pellasgians were fearless]
[The Glow of the Demon Beast Mother Goddess also protected them]
[After decades of peaceful coexistence with Demonic Beasts, under the Mother Goddess's protection, the Pellasgians even gained the possibility of combining Demonic Beast and Divine Beast Factors]
[Not inferior in the slightest to the Blessing of the Gods]
"Ah, it's nostalgic. It seems there was a similar scene once. Those gods are here to attack again, but this time, I won't choose to leave."
Medusa smiled gently.
Her gaze was fixed on Moran beside her.
"Heh, I wish you could all survive, but that would be too selfish. Everything that has happened up to this point was built by us. This time, let me accompany you until the very last moment... This battle isn't the end, but the beginning of us forging an epic!"
Moran spoke his final words.
Medea and Atalanta also heard him.
Having spent many years together, there was no need for further words at this final juncture. Simply fighting on the same battlefield together was enough to make them feel incredibly happy.
RUMBLE—!!
Suddenly, everything happened so abruptly.
A roar that seemed to shatter even space spread out.
The atmosphere, even their very cells, trembled.
It felt as though the world would be torn apart the next moment, as an absolutely irresistible Divine Melody echoed through the heavens—
"Tremble!"
"Rejoice!"
"You face us, the Gods, the Children of Olympus who have bestowed blessings and protection upon you."
"Your enemy is the supreme Olympus!"
"Kneel and weep for us!"
"This is the supreme authority of the Gods—you inefficient beings should be purged, and useless gods need not guide humanity."
"Insignificant beings will also eventually fade away."
[The divine voice from the heavens resonated across the entire battlefield]
[The pressure in the atmosphere was enough to crush the living in an instant, to the point where merely hearing it would drive one mad]
[If Medusa had not unleashed the Great Authority of the Mother Goddess]
[It's likely the Pelasgians would have struggled to withstand its Divine Might]
[Gazing at the sky, one could see a vast, blurry Dark Silhouette, likely where the Gods of Olympus reside]
[Its Divine Might was so immense it was suffocating]
[The Gods of Olympus are unlike the Native Gods of Earth; they do not require so-called faith. As Machine Gods, their divine might and abilities can operate on their own]
[If Medusa hadn't had the backing of the Pelasgians' faith, facing such Gods would have been a completely hopeless battle]
"Gulp! This aura!"
Medusa's beautiful eyes stared fixedly at the Dark Silhouette.
No matter what, she couldn't forget it.
Descending from the stars, an Interstellar Fleet forged from steel, and Cold Machine Gods that rejoiced in receiving the Worship of Humans.
Among them, the most omnipotent vessel.
Moran also knew who was exerting this pressure.
"I am the Great God Zeus!"
"I am the sky, I am the thunder, and I am also the King of Gods who rules Olympus—!"
"Here, I declare to you all."
"You who have forgotten reverence, who have worshipped Evil Gods, and who have attempted to defy us. Remember this."
"Humans must not defy the gods."
"Humans must not commit sins."
"You foolish beings who believe in things that should vanish, you who intend to spread sin to the Children of Olympus—all of you, die completely."
[The Great God's declaration echoed through the dark sky]
[The enemy army, under the protection of the Gods of Olympus, was beyond excited]
However, this was a sanction imposed by the Alien Machine Gods
[The Pelasgians would never accept it]
[The citizens under your command shouted with unwavering Belief, vowing to repel and annihilate all invading enemies]
[The war erupted in an instant]
[The enemy army used the Armaments and Warships bestowed by the Gods, engaging in a fierce battle with an army riding on a hundred beasts]
[The battle, at first, unfolded as the Gods had predicted]
[The Pelasgians were inferior to this army, which combined the Crystallization of Technology from the Gods, in both Armaments and numbers]
[However, as time went on]
[Reality and expectations began to diverge significantly]
[Even with the blessings of the Great Gods and powerful Divine Armaments, the armies from the Four Great City-States were unable to defeat the Pelasgians, and the tide of the battle even began to turn]
[If your chest is pierced by a blade]
[Use your hands to grab the enemy, even if it means biting, to take their life and let their blood water the earth]
[If your limbs are shattered]
[Crush the enemy with your remaining body]
[A fierce fighting spirit, nearly unyielding, spread across the battlefield, making even the Spartans, who lived for war, tremble]
[Fear and death permeated the battlefield]
[But the Pelasgians carried hope, the hope of protecting their homeland and crossing into tomorrow]
[The hope of advancing alongside that Unbeaten King]
"It's like the futile resistance of insects. Haven't you heard that the Great God Zeus has proclaimed their sins and their death?"
Aphrodite frowned slightly.
She observed the entire battlefield through the information module.
"What sorrow. They were once our people, yet they worship the wrong Old Gods. Why abandon us when they have our Faith?"
Demeter looked sorrowful.
[Although the God of Agriculture agreed to the Sovereign's sanctions, she herself did not wish for any of her people to die]
[She, who possessed the Authority of the Earth, was filled with maternal love]
[Viewing all life on the surface as beloved children, even those Pelasgians who defied the gods]
[Alas, inefficiency must be eliminated]
[Even the Olympus Machine Gods understood this fundamental principle]
[From the day they arrived on this planet and were revered as gods, everything they did revolved around the Underlying Program]
