Beryl, Unconsciously Swapping Bases / Corrupting Demeter-and Is He a Saint Seiya or Apollo?

But—where did you come from, and what is your purpose?

"I wanted to help them, so I helped them."

Gwen frowned as he looked at Zeus.

"Speaking of which, given your current state, has Chaos already taken you down?"

Moreover, by turning against us so directly, are you not going to take Demeter?

Or do you think you can handle the Alien God who brought down the Fantasy Tree all by yourself?

Oh, and Demeter should have already conveyed the reversal plan to you.

As he spoke, Gwen had already reached the Goddess's side, Kusanagi was placed on her body. Although it did not pierce her, its corrosive power had already been activated.

"Boring rhetoric."

Zeus stared coldly at Gwen, his magical aura growing increasingly terrifying, even his figure appearing somewhat ethereal amidst the swirling lightning.

"If you want to take the world I'm protecting from me, then prove to me that you're worthy..."

Rumble~

Zeus's words were followed by a torrent of lightning that struck the Crystal Wall, failing to create the slightest ripple, but leaving Gwen in a very bad mood.

"I know this kind of guy is quite difficult to persuade, but to turn on me like this after we've already reached a basic trust agreement—"

Is this world's Zeus also so unreasonable?

Gwen wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if Zeus did this in the Pan-Human History, because even the slightest bit of it would be disrespectful to Hades.

But this is still considered human... Zeus, as a god, doing this ignited a nameless rage in Gwen—

I thought you were a decent person and was planning to collaborate with you for mutual benefit. Are you ungrateful?

Zeus...

Indeed, they can be quite inhumane in many situations.

Faced with Gwen's question, Demeter, who could sense a certain force encroaching upon her, resisted the erosion while pondering for a moment before shaking her head slightly.

But this time...

Perhaps there are other hidden reasons.

"Hiss..."

Chapter 645 Unconscious Home Swap Beryl

In the outermost sky garden of the Orbital Temple Olympia Dodona, the Goddess Europa, with her long, golden hair and beauty that even the gods would admire, dressed elegantly and noblely, who had attained divine honor despite being human, lay quietly on the lush green grass.

Perhaps Zeus in Pan-Human History was captivated by this scene and transformed into a bull.

However, at this moment, Europa could no longer show that gentle and kind smile—

Crimson blood slowly flowed from beneath Europa, staining a patch of grass red and adding an eerie crimson hue to the vibrant green.

The strange combination of a black shirt and red trousers, along with a few stubbles on his chin and a strand of hair on his forehead, made this fairly robust man appear somewhat sinister.

The still-beating heart in his hand gave Kadoc, who had just arrived, a bad feeling.

"Beryl?"

Kirschtaria was always elegantly dressed and composed, lost her composure and frowned as she looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar person.

"Yes, it's me, Beryl Gat."

Facing the three men who were on high alert, Beryl smiled broadly, as if he were seeing a middle school student who had come to ask him to go online—if one ignored the bright red heart in the student's hand.

Why do such a thing?

Kirschtaria's gaze swept over Goddess Europa lying on the ground, her expression serene as if she were merely asleep, and her face turned serious—

The mere presence of Gwen as a spoiler was enough to cause headaches, and now Beryl has directly killed Goddess Europa, a crucial fulcrum in the game, disrupting the new plans once again. Kirschtaria felt it necessary to reassess the situation.

Is that strange?

Beryl smiled brightly, revealing his almost unsettlingly white teeth—

"Those guys who are comparable to the King of Gods have jumped out and stood on Chaldea's side. Shouldn't we make some preparations?"

And..."

Beryl paused, glancing at Kirschtaria with ill intent—

"Isn't this exactly what you wanted to do?"

This Divine Consort is one of the great god's most important pillars.

He's in a delicate, special state right now; killing her would just disrupt that balance.

Judging from the commotion just now, it seems he's already gone down to find Chaldea...

Oh... that immense magical power is truly terrifying; even from this distance, it can still be clearly heard.

I really want to see what his heart is like.

Unfortunately, those big shots are not people like me who can easily scam them.

So, we had no choice but to settle for second best and borrow the heart of this Divine Consort.

"But the timing was terrible."

Kirschtaria's eyes were cold and sharp—

"Even if you obtain Zeus's heart, the arrival of Alien God will be something you cannot resist."

Now do these things...

"Well... at least we have to survive the present before we can talk about the future..."

Despite Kirschtaria's accusations, Beryl remained nonchalant and smiling.

"I'm not like you, who can even defeat the human form of a great god."

"If I do nothing, a single bolt of lightning would be enough to turn me to ashes."

Beryl chuckled as he spoke, one hand cradling his burning heart, while the other hand had already naturally slipped behind his back, like a waiter serving wine at a banquet.

However, the waiter was holding his heart in one hand, while pulling out a potion from behind his back with the other.

"So...

"Did Beryl ambush the Goddess Europa and steal her heart?"

Having roughly grasped the situation, Kadoc blinked, his gaze sweeping over the peaceful sleeping beauty on the ground, still somewhat dazed—

No, even if she isn't a genuine deity, isn't she Divine Consort has merged with the remnants of Hera?

Is it really that easy to assassinate someone?

As the Hidden Ones clashed, a powerful surge of magic suddenly erupted from the Orbital Temple, accompanied by a grand, almost mechanical, voice—

"Great thunder and lightning, admit it."

The Great Lord God acknowledges.

Synchronization with the artifact, the Cronos's Crown, is complete.

Immediately remove the disguise from the true body space.

The space unfolds, positioned directly above the Great Altar area.

His Divine True Body is named Zeus.

"Please, all intelligent beings in the vicinity, leave immediately."

A magnificent burst of lightning raged, and a colossal creature, exuding a terrifying aura, slowly emerged from the distorted space.

"It's really terrifying; just its appearance is enough to make it hard to breathe..."

Beryl watched the colossal creature slowly emerge, his legs trembling slightly under the terrifying pressure, yet a radiant smile still graced his face—

"However, you can keep this monster; I'll be taking my leave now..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Beryl dropped a potion bottle behind his back and disappeared into the rising smoke.

"The situation has gotten out of control again, Kirschtaria. What are you going to do?"

Pepe frowned as she looked in the direction where Beryl had disappeared, glanced at the Sleeping Beauty on the ground, sighed softly, and looked towards Kirschtaria.

The Goddess Europa is a crucial part of the resistance forces in this Atlantic Lostbelt. Her death has almost completely shattered the newly established plans, leaving them with no choice but to proceed cautiously, taking things one step at a time.

"..."

Gazing at the slowly emerging behemoth, Kirschtaria remained silent for a moment, then looked down at Europa on the ground.

"Take her with you and leave here first."

Zeus may no longer be Zeus—

Let's go somewhere else first...

As Zeus's true form slowly emerged, Gwen had already suppressed his temper and listened as Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash briefly recounted what had happened after he left—

Zeus seemed unaware of Gwen's departure and continued to abide by the covenant.

However, just minutes earlier, Zeus suddenly descended and attacked the few people left in the city. He displayed a different, more forceful attitude than before, angered by the overestimation of his own abilities as a mortal, and expressing a resolute attitude of "it's either you or me" while mocking them.

"It's somewhat similar to the attitude of the First Emperor in the Third Lostbelt, only the arrogance and confidence of a god are definitely more difficult to persuade..."

Mash sighed.

"In short, we still need to fight one match first."

Gwen cracked his knuckles; he'd barely managed to pierce Lancelot with a single spear thrust, now he'd see if he could handle Zeus.

"They both clearly share the goal of protecting humanity. If they could communicate properly and seek common ground while reserving differences, there would be a possibility of cooperation and mutual benefit. Why did they have to go through with this?"

"Ha, I'll chop all those screws in half!"

"Hidden story?"

Perhaps?

Gwen looked up at the sky, sensing the increasingly powerful magical fluctuations there, and his expression turned dangerous.

Chapter 646 Corruption: Demeter and the Saint Seiya or Apollo?

"Forehead...

It's best to be careful; the aura emanating from that opponent... is terrifyingly strong..."

Hearing Gwen's unfriendly words, which sounded as if he could shake an egg yolk, Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her head and said weakly.

Zeus, who was above them, was probably the most powerful opponent they had ever encountered in terms of raw strength.

Even though Fujimaru Ritsuka was confident in Gwen's strength, she couldn't help but feel a little intimidated.

"You can rest assured about that."

Gwen smiled and looked at Demeter—

"Should we continue to resist?"

I don't intend for you to fight Zeus; I'm just controlling you first to prevent you from being suddenly controlled by Zeus or Chaos through a back door and wreaking havoc here.

After completing the final erosion, I will hand over the highest command to Seele.

"If you don't trust me, you should trust Seele, right?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Demeter had been silently resisting the invading force, weakened her resistance and hesitated.

"Teacher Demeter, please trust Brother Gwen, he would not deceive you in such a matter."

Seele tugged at Demeter's sleeve and whispered.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Demeter hesitated even more.

At this moment, the true form of Zeus, which was even larger than the Orbital Temple itself, was revealed atop the Orbital Temple.

However, at this moment, the great god who should have been the master of all natural phenomena in the sky and the protector of humanity, guiding mankind with his numerous powers and functions, issued his final declaration as the flagship of the star fleet, resembling a gigantic head—
