The women looked at their battered and bruised husband with heartache.
"Yes, you did it."
"Hey, Medusa, does this mean I've gotten revenge for you from back then?"
"Idiot, I never wanted you to get revenge like this. You've always been reckless, and you end up like this too..."
Medusa was also by Moran's side.
The surrounding people hadn't recovered from the shock of the great god's dissipation. Moran knew this was their last moment together.
Chapter 55: The Machine God Appears, the Moon God Falls [Second Update! 4K!]
"Haha, what else could I do? That old bastard looked down on my wife so much. As a husband, I couldn't just stand by! In the end, didn't I win against Him one more time and pierce Him through?"
[You show a triumphant smile]
[As you try to move your body and reach for your wife, you find your physical body is almost shattered]
[Maintaining yourself solely through extreme immortality]
[It's no exaggeration to say you're like a glass object about to shatter at the slightest touch]
[There was one more thing that surprised you]
[Stheno and Euryale also came to your side]
"Stheno... Euryale..."
"Don't speak, you're already so fragile. Don't waste your precious energy talking~."
Stheno placed a finger on Moran's lips.
Her expression was incredibly gentle.
[The two women, who had no combat ability, had been staying in the -Temple]
[Now, they had rushed to your side]
[You, who had always protected your two older sisters, knew the impending end, yet you still sighed]
[You couldn't do anything about these two sisters]
[They faintly remembered the last simulation, remembering how they had watched over their sister and brother's endings]
[This time, they wouldn't have any doubts either]
"You're really, really amazing. When you first came to the island, I had a feeling it wouldn't be ordinary. But I never expected you to become such a king, nor that life could be so happy."
Euryale gently stroked Moran's cheek.
This was a rare moment of tenderness for them.
"If you and Medusa, who protected us, were gone, then we, who have always been protected, should also disappear, right? As family, we will never be separated."
"Heh heh, until the very end, family stays together."
Stheno and Euryale said so.
She wasn't just talking about Medusa and Moran; the family also included Atalanta and Medea.
These two lovely sisters-in-law.
The older sisters liked them very much.
"You two..."
Moran showed a helpless, wry smile.
In the end, he still couldn't do anything about his two sisters.
Rumble—!!
[Continuous thunderbolts descended from the sky]
[The gloomy and dark sky did not clear, as if it were about to reveal more despair]
[The citizens who were previously intoxicated by the joy of the great god's dissipation]
[The enemy forces who grieved for the great god's dissipation]
[At this moment, they all raised their heads towards the sky, witnessing the most incredible existence in this world]
"—Great Sovereign, acknowledged."
"—Spatial camouflage of true form to be immediately removed."
"—Space deployed, set above the formless sea."
"—Divine Spark True Form Name: Zeus."
"—Deploy, deploy, deploy."
"—All surrounding life forms, please evacuate immediately."
[Another cold and emotionless mechanical voice]
[Accompanied by a violent thunderclap from the sky, as if everything in the world had lost its color]
[A massive shadow falls across the sky]
[A humming sound, as if not belonging to this planet, continuously reaches everyone's ears]
[The face of a god appears in the sky—]
[It is the visage of a god residing high in the heavens]
[Forged from divine steel from beyond the domain, it is something that could never be born on this planet]
[That is the true form of Zeus]
[The king of the gods presiding over the Olympus mountain range, the flagship of the fleet that crossed the sea of stars]
[The true body that governs lightning and the sky]
[The divine name is the Almighty God Zeus]
[Guiding the great fortress of humanity with numerous authorities and functions]
[Interstellar combat annihilation-type mobile fortress, Zeus]
"Kneel."
"Worship."
"I am the Almighty God Zeus."
Zeus looked down upon the tiny beings in the sea.
The divine face, crafted from steel and metal, carried no warmth, and its shining mechanical eyes were filled with divinity.
Everyone in the sea was awestruck.
They had never witnessed such a magnificent divine posture.
The citizens of Olympus unconsciously forgot everything, instinctively offering their obeisance to this mechanical god.
[You and your beloved wives look up at the sky]
[Taking in the form of this great god]
"Hmph! Although I was prepared, this damn old man is really fucking arrogant, even carving his face onto the machine!"
Moran couldn't help but laugh and curse.
He held no respect for this great god.
[Zeus noticed you]
[Its gaze turned in your direction]
[It also knew that you had killed its mimic Divine Spark]
"I am the sky, I am the thunder."
"As the Almighty God who rules all phenomena by the sky."
There were no emotional fluctuations in Zeus's eyes.
It didn't even show anger for being killed earlier.
It was almost like a different person from before.
"Ah, how insignificant. For such a human to possess the power to kill my mimic divine body, this feat is something you can be proud of. This is the beginning of my arrival on this planet, my first defeat. To show respect for your great achievement, the Almighty God Zeus shall now reveal the divine might of its true form!"
Zeus's words stirred the thunder.
Each sentence felt like it could crush a person into pieces.
An overwhelmingly obvious killing intent rushed towards Moran, deeming him an enemy that must be hunted and annihilated.
"Great God Zeus! Are you going to bring down destruction?! Aren't you afraid of the lightning affecting the citizens you wish to protect!?"
Moran knew the terror of the mechanical Zeus.
Each lightning strike in its normal output had the power to destroy stars.
If it were to go all out here.
Without a doubt, even the retreating citizens of Olympus would die.
And they wouldn't be able to be revived by the God of Agriculture's authority.
"You humans should be reeds that do not worry, do not fight, do not think, but obey.
Let me think alone. Let me worry alone.
You only need to survive, to smile, and offer reverence to the gods. Though the lightning may plunge the citizens of Olympus into death, but—
My citizens, there is nothing I can do."
Zeus's words were deep and resolute.
Within them lay a lament different from before.
[At that moment, you understood]
[The underlying program of the mechanical god Zeus's core was running, and the command to rebuild the mother planet had become the highest priority]
[This Root Command Code]
[Its weight is higher than Zeus's love for humanity]
[Currently, Moran is judged as a disaster by the Machine God System, an inefficient loophole to be eliminated before the reconstruction of the mother planet]
[His love for humanity]
[Even while struggling with the lower-level programs, yearning to protect humanity, Zeus is already helpless against this destiny]
[If it were to be detected by itself]
[Perhaps there would be a chance to forcibly alter the program, but now there is clearly no opportunity]
"Zeus, as a Machine God, how pathetic you are.
Even as an all-powerful great god like you, you cannot escape the shackles of the primal chaotic source."
Moran looked up at Zeus in the sky.
He understood that the current situation had surpassed his control.
Even if Zeus wanted to suppress the command, It would probably only be possible after this war, and that's assuming the God of Chaos hasn't awakened yet.
If that one awakens, then there will be no chance at all.
The difference between the Lostbelt Zeus and the Pan-Human History Zeus is simple: whether or not they realize the Root Command.
The Pan-Human History Zeus never had the thought of altering the command.
Therefore, it could not disobey its instincts.
[Zeus begins to invoke the battleship's authority]
[Its Sovereign functions have been fully unleashed to 35%, and the merging of multiple authorities was also completed in an instant]
