Zeus-Changing His Face Like Turning a Page

"But now it seems I've lost..."

"Children shouldn't gamble all the time."

Gwen gave Sayo Aika a deep look, then pulled Arcueid back to sit down.

Making bets all the time, where did you come from, Tang San?

"Hehe, I'm already an adult, and I'm even older than Gwen."

Sayo Aika raised her expensive flat chest and retorted with a touch of smugness.

"I'd almost forgotten."

Gwen suddenly realized—

"Aige, you should drink more milk in the future. There are still cases of people in their twenties going through a second growth spurt."

"Gwen..."

Sayo Aika put on a resentful look and pitifully looked at Gwen.

"Um?

What happened to Artoria?

Did Aigo bully you?

After sitting down, Gwen noticed that Artoria on his other side had breathed a heavy sigh of relief as if she had escaped a disaster, which made him suspicious.

"Ah?

No, no...

Artoria quickly waved her hand vigorously—

"Miss Aika just wants to switch places with me."

"Then Arcueid wasn't happy, so the two of them made a bet, right?"

Upon hearing this, Gwen understood why the two had suddenly started making a bet.

"I'm sorry, I neglected your feelings..."

Gwen rubbed Artoria's head.

When we dealt with the Lancelot, we forgot that even just sitting here puts immense pressure on the insecure Artoria. Add to that the Sayo Aika, and the little fairy was probably so scared she almost cried.

"It's alright, it's alright..."

Artoria shook her head repeatedly, finding a sense of security in the warmth above her head.

After Gwen finished comforting Artoria beside him, Nokturna's somewhat hoarse voice rang out, noticing that she hadn't seen the Fairy Knight Lancelot return with her.

"Where is Fairy Knight Lancelot...?"

"Isn't this obvious, Miss Nokturna?"

Gwen shrugged.

"..."

Nokturna remained silent, saying nothing more.

Seeing Gwen's expression, as if he had only done something insignificant, all the demons who witnessed this scene were filled with disbelief.

That was the most powerful fairy under Queen Morgan, yet it was defeated in just a short while, or even with just one move?

Seeing that Nokturna remained silent, Gwen looked again at Morgan on the throne, whose posture remained unchanged from before he left, seemingly without any Morgan—

"So, let's continue with our previous topic. Would you mind moving?"

"Take those fairies who recognize their original sin, repent, and are still redeemable, and leave this place to establish the kingdom you once envisioned, a kingdom where fairies and humans coexist?"

"I..."

Morgan, who had just been verbally bombarded with magic by Nokturna, suddenly heard about the dream her former self once held, and a ripple of emotion stirred deep within her usually calm eyes—

Toneriko, who was raised as Princess by the Rain Clan, abandoned the original mission of the Paradise Fairy long ago, and only wanted to create a world where fairies and humans could live in harmony.

It was only through repeated lessons learned through blood and tears, and repeated betrayals and hurts, that the gentle Rain Princess was finally transformed into the Winter Solstice Queen.

But... if those dreams could truly come true, then...

At that moment, Morgan admitted that he had truly wavered.

Even the determination in his heart to dominate Britain no matter what was right was completely shaken at this moment.

After all, as Gwen said, why must her Britain be this Britain full of blood and sin?

Seeing Morgan's expression, Gwen raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected Morgan to waver so quickly—he thought that in addition to enticement, he would also need to use coercion.

Just as Gwen was about to add fuel to the fire and completely destroy this magical genius... or rather, the magical master, the jade talisman he had left in Olympus suddenly emitted an ominous fluctuation.

"This is..."

In an instant, Gwen, who had just been wearing a peaceful smile, turned serious. He abruptly raised his hand, drew the broken Broken Blade from its sheath, and the broken blade sliced through the space in front of him, easily tearing apart the space that had just been broken by Sayo Aika's spell, connecting to another space.

At that very moment, dazzling lightning illuminated the rather magnificent palace.

The silver lightning serpents surged forth like a flood finding an outlet, instantly wreaking havoc in the palace. Some of the higher-ranking fairies standing at the front were caught in the crossfire and instantly turned into nothingness in the raging lightning.

Morgan snapped out of his reverie, lightly tapping the ground with his wand. Layers of spells appeared, and amidst the deafening thunder, he met the raging lightning.

However, even Morgan, with most of his palace destroyed by the surging lightning, was suddenly faced with the thunder of the great god Zeus. This temporary spell was hardly effective, and he could only barely hold his ground.

"What are you up to?"

Morgan felt no pity for the deaths of these fairies, but he had to take Gwen's actions seriously.

"I'm sorry, there was a small mishap."

As his Cosmo swirled, Gwen used one of his hands to create another Crystal Wall, gathering and annihilating all the lightning raging there.

Meanwhile, Gwen's other hand had already pierced through the torn space, erecting Crystal Wall at the other end of the spatial rift to shield Fujimaru Ritsuka, Ryougi Shiki, and the Ryougi Shiki from the raging lightning.

Confronting the terrifying lightning across space, the impact of just a moment was enough to shatter the ordinary sofa beneath Gwen.

Gwen and Arcueid were able to control their bodies, Sayo Aika was caught off guard but managed to adjust her posture, Ector, despite her poor physical condition, was able to maintain her balance.

So--

"Ah..."

Completely caught off guard, Artoria fell flat on her back onto the broken sofa.

Chapter 644 Zeus – Turning His Face Like Turning a Book

However, despite the unexpected fall, Artoria, whose tailbone was aching, could barely suppress the urge to howl.

However, Artoria did not—

It wasn't out of courage or resilience, just sheer fear—

Fear gripped the flashing lightning, that terrifying lightning that symbolized destruction.

Will die, will die, will die!

They will definitely die!

You'll die if you get it!

Despite not possessing the bloodline of a red dragon, Artoria, who occasionally exhibited a near-intuitive instinct, was captivated by the destructive lightning. Her body stiffened as she collapsed amidst the shattered sofa fragments, too weak to even get up.

However, before the fear of death could fully take over the little fairy's mind, the raging lightning was caught in a hand and completely annihilated.

Then, that hand was stretched out in front of her—

"Get up, Artoria. Do you really enjoy lying in here?"

In that case, decorating your room in the future will be a real headache.

"Ah?"

With the threat of death receding, Artoria's malfunctioning mind tried to reboot. She couldn't understand Gwen's words for a moment, but she still instinctively grabbed that hand and used that gentle force to stand up.

Holding that hand, Artoria felt as if she were soaking in a hot spring... If this is what soaking in a hot spring feels like—

In short, it's that wonderful feeling of warmth all over the body, making the fairy so comfortable that she just wants to fall asleep.

However, this feeling quickly faded, and Artoria's reactivated mind began to function again—

"Hmm, no problem. A big meal later should help you recover."

What do you take me for?

Hearing this as if she were some kind of pet that could be fed and cared for, Artoria snapped out of her daze and said angrily.

"A simple, cute, and easy-to-care-for little fairy?"

Gwen laughed.

"..."

Artoria glared at Gwen, her anger flaring in a fit of rage—

She had already reached her limit by speaking loudly; asking for more would be making things difficult for the fairy.

Seeing this, Gwen stopped harassing Artoria and addressed Morgan, who was waiting on the throne—

"Having not sensed another powerful energy source, it seems Zeus has failed again and is already going mad."

I need to take care of things over there first.

If you're interested, you can come and take a look.

Although the previous talks didn't go very well, Gwen was certain that Zeus wasn't the kind of guy who would act on a whim.

Given that the lightning now is much stronger than the lightning Gwen faced before, and no powerful energy source has been detected there, it can only be that Zeus's counterattack against Chaos failed and he started to go berserk.

Having said that, Gwen dragged the Crystal Wall with one hand and swung the Broken Blade with the other, opening the spatial rift into a complete spatial passage.

With a single step, Gwen traveled directly from the heart of the Britain Lostbelt to the Atlantic Lostbelt.

"Senior, you've finally arrived..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka breathed a sigh of relief upon finally seeing Gwen appear.

"I only saw one of your hands on this side just now, and I thought something was wrong over there and you couldn't get over."

"I explained for a couple of minutes, which caused a slight delay—"

What happened here?

It seems like I've only been gone for less than a day?

"There is a slight error in the timing, but the difference is not significant."

Mash also breathed a sigh of relief, put down her shield and explained,

"Not long ago, the apostles of the Alien God attacked us. After we repelled them, God Zeus suddenly descended and, after inquiring about our purpose, launched an attack amidst laughter."

"Um?"

Hearing this answer, which was so different from what he had expected, Gwen raised an eyebrow.

It sounds like Zeus hasn't completely fallen under Chaos's control and started to go mad yet?

Seemingly sensing Gwen's presence, the raging lightning around them quietly subsided and moved away.

Realizing this, Gwen also changed the output of Crystal Wall, maintaining the defense while looking at Zeus was standing alone on the opposite side.

"I thought you had been completely controlled by Chaos and had gone mad, but now it seems that's not what I thought?"

Looking directly into the eyes of that great god whose gaze seemed to be shrouded in thunder, Gwen smiled and asked,

"Where is Aphrodite?"

Wasn't she supposed to help you fight against Chaos's orders?

"This is none of your business."

Zeus's voice was indifferent, his expression calm, but the magical aura emanating from him grew increasingly terrifying—

"The blessing of Ares, the prayers of Athena, and the protection of the divine artifact Aegis..."

From them, I saw the strength of my compatriots.

While the idea of reclaiming Pan-Human History by destroying the Lostbelt is laughable, they do have reasons to do so.
