I'll Help You Fight the Corrosion / Demeter's Value

Gwen crossed his arms and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"This is to deal with the Alien God."

Zeus emphasized.

"But relatively speaking, this is more urgent for you."

As for us, we can simply sit back and watch the Alien God descend.

"Wait until you're both severely weakened, then reap the benefits."

Gwen shrugged.

"It seems you don't have the sincerity to cooperate."

Zeus once again unleashed a terrifying surge of divine power.

"It was you who put the gloves on White Wolf first."

Gwen was not prepared to take the blame.

"..."

After staring at Gwen for a long time, Zeus slowly withdrew his divine power.

"What would you like?"

"First, except for key areas, Olympus's right of free passage and movement—"

After all, the other party is the real culprit that caused Earth's Erasure; we need to strengthen our own power.

Second, the information and knowledge you brought from your place of departure—

I'm very curious about what kind of disaster could possibly drive you to venture into deep space.

Three..."

As Gwen was listing his conditions step by step, Zeus interrupted him—

"That's impossible."

Zeus said indifferently—

"That information involves core database secrets. Even I can only obtain read access under special circumstances. It's impossible for me to tell you."

"All these years have passed, and you haven't tried to bypass the rules or attempt to read them?"

"You should know that the enemies or disasters that could drive your native civilization to flee into deep space might one day befall the very humanity you protect."

Gwen said in surprise—

Is Zeus really that honest?

Zeus remained silent, but that silence was enough for everyone present to understand his answer.

However, seeing Zeus's indifferent expression, Gwen suddenly seemed to realize something and slowly asked a question imbued with an unusual spiritual power—

"Are you Zeus, the king of the Lostbelt, or... an interstellar combat annihilation mobile fortress, a flagship?"

Chapter 599 I'll Help You Fight Against the Corruption

"?"

Even though he had already gleaned some clues from their conversation and realized that this great god Zeus, and indeed the entire Greek pantheon, was vastly different from what he had imagined.

However, upon hearing Gwen's question to Zeus, the Chaldea' eyes widened in astonishment—

What a joke! Clock Tower? Gods are supposed to be beings that symbolize the nature and concepts of this planet, possessing the abilities, properties, and powers described in mythology.

But now you're telling them that Zeus, the Greek god King of Gods who is famous even in the Pan-Human History, is actually some kind of interstellar combat annihilation mobile fortress and flagship?

This is even more shocking than Gilgamesh being a humble, polite, and kind citizen, isn't it?

"Of course..."

Seemingly due to some kind of program at work, Zeus's answer was as indifferent as before.

But before he could finish speaking, Zeus paused, then reverted to the tone Gwen was familiar with—

"Zeus, the King of the Atlantic Lostbelt, who rules over the oceans and the vast interstellar cities that have existed since the age of gods."

Zeus's answer was like thunder sweeping across the sky, rumbling in the temple. His terrifying divine power shone through him, proclaiming to the world what a god truly is.

However, staring at the mighty Zeus, Gwen frowned and said—

"You seem to have a problem."

"This is none of your business!"

Although Zeus was aware of the problem, he obviously couldn't reveal it to Gwen, his dubious ally.

"I obtained some information from Aphrodite."

Gwen ignored Zeus's reactive reaction and continued—

"Your original destination was not Earth, but a place much farther away."

It was after you awakened to the joy that comes from faith that you, as the flagship, decided to stay on this planet to protect these fragile lives that have brought you unprecedented joy.

And now...

It seems your former employer has come knocking on your door?

"..."

Zeus did not interrupt Gwen, but simply stared intently at him—

How did you do that?

Given the technological level of this planet, it should not possess the technology and capability to infiltrate the Machine God system.

"Because of the good things you've done."

Gwen spread his hands in an innocent gesture—

"Because of what you did back then, our seemingly high and mighty Goddess has quite a few flaws."

As it happens, I'm quite good at this, so I just hacked in and took a look.

"..."

Looking at Gwen, Zeus began to ponder whether he should take advantage of Gwyn's home turf and try to eliminate him with all his might—

He learned this almost top-secret information and had to...

In the blink of an eye, Zeus had already amassed terrifying divine power. Terrifying lightning transformed into an ocean that surrounded Zeus, and the lightning plasma, powerful enough to melt even the most elite heroes, illuminated the temple.

"You're thinking about how to kill me..."

Gwen's expression remained calm, but this time, golden flames slowly rose from his body—

Zeus is now using far more power than before, and Gwen can no longer defend against it as if it were nothing.

Golden flames rose, and the dazzling golden light gathered above Gwen's head, transforming into a blazing sun.

In the midst of the sun, a majestic figure stands tall, radiating the sun's majesty and rivaling the divine power of Zeus.

"But our battle will inevitably destroy the entire interstellar city."

"When Demeter dies, everything you've protected will be destroyed by your own hands!"

The soul-shaking roar reached Zeus's ears, instantly awakening his soul, which was being corrupted.

The moment Zeus awoke, Zeus realized what had happened and that his condition was probably worse than he had imagined.

"Damn it, what time is it?!"

Zeus was utterly horrified and cursed under his breath.

Under normal circumstances, although he would be surprised that Gwen knew these secrets, he would quickly think of the resistance organization that had obtained some of the fallen Mechs.

But just now, influenced by the program, he almost subconsciously wanted to attack Gwen and get rid of this guy who knew a secret he shouldn't have known.

"My personal suggestion is that you should write a program for yourself to self-destruct once you start acting at the expense of the humans you are trying to protect. At least you won't have to destroy the humans for whom you have given everything."

Knowing that Zeus had already realized the problem, Gwen reminded him.

However, seeing that Zeus did not respond, Gwen laughed again—

"Of course, if you can't do it, you can ask me for help—"

"I will help you fight off the encroachment from the main flagship."

Of course, the prerequisite for doing so is that he first needs to corrupt Zeus, and then use that as a basis to contend with Chaos.

Although the Dyson Sphere configuration given to Chaos by a certain fungus seems to have suddenly brought down this existence, which could have had its upper limit stacked infinitely.

However, in the real world, Gwen wouldn't dismiss Chaos as nothing special just because of this setting.

The power of erosion is powerful and bizarre, almost invincible in the data realm.

However, the Corruption is ultimately just a projection of the Cocoon of the Cocoon of the End. Even though it can now unleash power beyond its original limits in Gwen's hands, whether it can defeat Chaos, who can teleport across universes, remains to be seen.

Absorbing stellar energy in the form of a Dyson sphere would certainly be beneath Chaos, but perhaps this is the scenario in those nonsensical novels where someone sails a warship and wreaks havoc in the universe—a failure in the energy field but a unique achievement in other fields?

"No need..."

Zeus glanced at Gwen. Although he didn't know what Gwen's method was, his intuition told him that it was definitely not a good idea.

Moreover, he was not prepared to place his hopes on others unless it was the very last moment.

As for Chaos's control...

Hmph, after all these years on Earth, do you really think he's completely unprepared?

"Okay, then don't blame me for smashing you to pieces."

Gwen shrugged, unconcerned by Zeus's reaction, and steered the conversation back on track—

Let's continue with our previous topic—

Since the second condition would trigger countermeasures from your former employer, let's modify it to share all other information, including information observed and recorded during your space travels.

"...Can."

This time Zeus did not refuse.

If he wants to resist Chaos's corruption, then Aphrodite's abilities are essential.

In the realm of the spiritual, she is the expert.

"Okay, then the third—"

After Gwen finalized the second condition, he continued to propose his own terms—

"I need to study Demeter's abilities and powers."

Chapter 600 The Value of Demeter

Demeter, one of the twelve Olympus Twelve Mecha Gods, Gaia's successor, and a production ship for interstellar travel supplies.

After a mysterious interaction with the Earth, and seemingly because she was Gaia's successor, Demeter here is not the Goddess of agriculture, grain, and harvest in Pan-Human History, but rather the Goddess of the earth.

However, in Gwen's memory, Demeter's most prominent power in the game was her control over life and death—

In the original storyline, in order to find the Chaldea group that had infiltrated the city, Demeter was ordered by Zeus to take action, indiscriminately bombing the entire city, killing eight enemies for every one of them, but suffering heavy losses herself.

The source of her confidence in doing so lies in her control over life and death—she can bring those who have died back to life whenever she wants.

Gwen was naturally extremely envious of this ability—

Even if he swallows the Cocoon of the End in the future, the corresponding power of the Herrscher of Rebirth he gains may not reach this level. Perhaps he can find a way to enhance this power from Demeter.

Even if it were just for Seele, Gwen would have had reasons to do so.

Even though she hasn't become the Herrscher of Rebirth as originally intended, Seele's Stigmata still have enormous potential in this area, but she lacks the direction and means to develop it.

Demeter was clearly a very good teacher.

In addition, Demeter was also concerned about Gwen's identity as Gaia's successor.

Perhaps here, Gaia is actually just the name of Demeter's precursor.

However, under the influence of mystery, Demeter must also have some deeper connection with Gaia.

Although in the context of Type-Moon, Gaia most often refers to a certain Counter Force.

However, in the Saint Seiya universe, Gaia is the true ancestor of the twelve Greek gods, starting as a Creator God and most likely an absolute god.
