[Efficiently, accurately, execute it]
[This is the destiny bestowed upon them from the very beginning of their birth]
[Even if they are not aware of it]
[This destiny will still affect them]
Chapter 50: Zeus, the Great Sovereign, Appears [Seeking Flowers! Seeking Monthly Votes!]
"What can mere local deities lead humanity to achieve? Before we descended, they accomplished nothing! Although we are all deities, how can they be compared to us, the descendants of chaos who have crossed the stars!"
Aphrodite spoke with extreme displeasure.
[The main reason is the dire situation on the battlefield]
[It has actually overturned the predictions of the gods]
[The Pelasgians, under your command, are invincible, as if they knew all the information of the allied forces from the start]
[Wherever the blade points]
[The Greek allied forces were pierced through like thin paper]
[The Twelve Olympians were surprised by this situation, but that was all. They attributed it to not including the concept of Hero in their calculations and not collecting information on those called Heroes]
"Your anger, I understand.
Your anxiety, I also understand."
Zeus, the King of the Gods, spoke.
He did not react much to the deviation of the battle situation from expectations, considering it merely a line of code that was overlooked.
It was completely insignificant.
What was concerning was something else.
"But be silent. We will not err, we are correctness itself. As for this situation, there is only one possibility. I presume that human named Moran has obtained information about our people. However, at this point, that is already insignificant."
Zeus's gaze slightly flickered towards a certain spot.
The direction he was looking was Artemis.
However, Artemis revealed a playful smile.
She did not feel there was any problem at all.
As a great god, Zeus naturally knew everything.
He probably didn't state it directly in front of the other gods because he felt this minor issue wasn't worth worrying about.
It was merely his daughter's capriciousness.
"Accepting the defeat of our people is also our responsibility. We must still guide humanity and protect humanity. However, even with the information, that human individual commanding the rebel army, named Moran—"
Zeus seemed to be contemplating something.
He had also been watching this war the entire time.
Knowing that Moran was the key core of the Pelasgians, defeating him would end everything.
"He is a king hailed as a Hero... who once arrogantly declared that all futures guided by us are inefficient. He, a mere reed among humans, dares to speak such nonsense! Heh, most interesting!"
Zeus received the information from Hephaestus.
He also learned of the discussion that night.
Therefore, he had developed an interest in this human.
[The war on the ocean lasted for several days]
[The blood of humans, monsters, and divine beasts stained the sea, and the wreckage of warships and corpses drifted on the surface]
[The bloody battle of several days was more tragic than ever before]
[This was undoubtedly a hard-won victory]
[The four major allied forces of Greece were defeated. Despite using all the aid provided by the gods, they failed to fulfill the divine oracle issued by the gods]
"Hoo... ha... hoo hoo..."
Moran stood on the surging sea.
In his hand, he held a Golden Sword solidified with blood.
The handsome face was already stained with dried blood, and his long hair was matted together by it.
The armor on his body was covered in cracks.
Although he appeared invincible to outsiders, each victory brought him a certain amount of damage.
"Lord Moran..."
Medea trembled as she released her Mana.
This was not the first time she had healed Moran.
These past few days, it was nothing but blood.
Her eyes hadn't closed in days, yet she persisted, trembling from exhaustion as she pushed herself to the limit.
More than the encroaching death, She feared the departure of her beloved.
"...Did we win...?"
A soldier, clinging to a piece of driftwood, gasped for air.
His back was pierced by six or seven blades, spears, and halberds, kept alive only by the life force provided by the Monster Factor within him.
There were many more soldiers like him.
But, most of them were dead.
The Pelasgian army was too exhausted to even cry out in victory; they had poured everything they had into this war.
[That's right, you led your people to crush countless armies.]
[The intelligence provided by Artemis largely ensured the survival of your people and the victory in the war.]
[If we only consider the achievements of humans, no king in all of Greece can compare to you.]
[But you also know, the war is far from over.]
[The united army of Greece was merely the vanguard; the true enemy is the entity behind the scenes issuing divine decrees—]
"—Divine Spark, awaken."
"—Divine Spark, manifest."
"—Synchronization with the divine artifact, the Chronos Crown, complete."
"—Divine Spark mapping from true form."
Suddenly, a sound that echoed throughout Greece erupted from the sky.
Its tone was neither divine nor human.
It was the extreme coldness of machinery.
"—Great Altar Domain Divine Spark manifestation."
"—Divine Core Avatar name, Zeus."
"—Manifest, manifest, manifest—Recommending mental defense for all sentient life forms in this sea area—"
Immense magical pressure descended from the heavens.
Medusa tensed her nerves and deployed her Divine Authority at the same moment.
She countered this divine might with her own Divine Authority on an equal scale, protecting the citizens still alive in her domain.
She had held back, enduring without intervening.
Moran had instructed Medusa not to make a move unless the entire army was on the verge of annihilation.
The true enemy had not yet arrived.
Her strength was to be saved for this final moment.
The war between people would be handled by him, their king, while the war of gods would be taken over by her.
Now, that moment had arrived.
RUMBLE—!!
Azure lightning, like a colossal dragon, struck from the sky.
The immense roar rendered all humans unconscious, with only Moran and his beloved managing to remain standing.
Even the retreating Greek allied forces.
They fell into darkness the moment they witnessed the lightning.
If not for the divine protection providing recovery, these people would likely have remained blind for the rest of their lives.
"—This is the benevolence of the Almighty God."
"This is a blessing, and also recognition of your valiant fight."
The pure white form of the lightning manifested.
Abruptly, it appeared before Moran.
The very embodiment of lightning, almost its symbol, had descended, moving from the mobile divine palace of Olympus to this location.
The most powerful great god of the Greek Age of Gods.
He had even destroyed the entire Titan Fleet, seizing the authorities of Uranus and Cronus.
The great Sovereign, nearing eternity.
The Almighty God, Zeus.
Chapter 51: How Can You Expect Me to Believe You!? [Seeking Flowers! Seeking Monthly Votes!]
"Great God... Zeus!"
[Medusa's eyes widened first.]
[A place deep within her Divinity seemed to sound like an alarm.]
[As if conveying hatred and fury.]
[Towards the unforgivable nature of the Olympian gods, and the fear of their boundless might.]
[However, facing Medusa's gaze,]
[Zeus's attention remained solely focused on Moran.]
[The Primal Mother Goddess seemed utterly insignificant to him.]
"—And so, to bear this blessing...
You shall all kneel!"
[Zeus's gaze was incredibly calm.]
[Yet, the situation that followed was the complete opposite of his demeanor.]
[Rumble—!!]
[As if natural phenomena were responding to him,]
[An invisible atmospheric pressure suddenly expanded a thousandfold, and everyone felt a pressure comparable to that of a massive mountain.]
"...Guh!"
[Medea and Atalante's stances immediately faltered.]
[The two women struggled to hold on, their faces pale.]
[An invisible pressure, unseen by anyone, bore down on them, their knees buckling towards the ground.]
