Call in the Team
"I am the sky, I am the thunder. As the omnipotent god who rules over all things from the heavens, the earth—should also be saved by me."
This is the restoration of mythology!
"Then how do you plan to face the Alien God who provided the foundation of this world, the Fantasy Tree?"
"You, who can't even tolerate your own brothers, sisters, wife, children, and elderly parents, would you really choose to rule the world with Alien God?"
Hearing those words imbued with immense divine power, Gwen remained unmoved, his calm voice resounding throughout Olympus and the entire Temple of Orbit, rivaling even Zeus's pronouncement.
Zeus's answer to this was simple—
"Danger, eliminated!"
Rumble~
Vast divine lightning descended from the sky, as if to destroy the world protected by the master of this thunder.
However, the lightning only raged on the suddenly expanded Crystal Wall and failed to cause any substantial damage.
"Zeus, are you planning to destroy everything you're protecting by attacking the city directly?"
Demeter is still with me.
Sensing the intensity of the divine lightning, Gwen's expression became more solemn—
It wasn't that Zeus couldn't bear it, but rather that Zeus's significantly increased power compared to before proved that the latter was indeed falling into Chaos's control.
"You insignificant people have made me aware of the many troubles you bear in the world, the cruelty that your small bodies carry—"
That is something I must never allow my people to suffer.
Human beings, become like reeds—untroubled, unresisting, unthinking, and compliant!
"Let me think, let me worry; you only need to exist, only need to smile, only need to offer your reverence to the gods..."
Zeus proclaimed this, but before his majestic voice had completely faded, a sound as if the system had malfunctioned was heard.
A moment later, Zeus's voice rang out again, but with a more mechanical indifference—
"Before the Fantasy Tree... appears..."
To claim all the spiritual particles accumulated in the Fantasy Tree as his own—
At the very least, even if it's just this interstellar city mountain range, we must take it away from this planet and towards the sea of stars.
Even if only the traces of my love for my people remain, I will let them stay in the age of the gods!
The words, which were somewhat hesitant at first, flowed smoothly by the end.
"Did you hear that, Demeter?"
Zeus is now completely under Chaos's control.
Hearing this almost contradictory confession, Gwen raised an eyebrow and asked Demeter beside him.
However, Demeter remained silent in the face of Gwen's words, her expression blank, as if data were flowing deep within her eyes.
"Teacher Demeter ..."
Seele tries to awaken Demeter, but Gwen stops her—
"Chaos has already begun to use Zeus's authority to control Demeter, let me take over—"
Gwen pulled Seele behind him and plunged the Kusanagi had been resting on Demeter's neck into her body. With his other hand, he drew the Broken Blade from his waist and plunged it into Demeter's body as well, focusing all his efforts on corrupting Demeter and trying to take control before Chaos could.
Under Gwen's relentless and all-out attack, Demeter's defenses quickly crumbled.
As if due to Gwen's influence, Demeter's eyes regained some of their luster as she gazed intently at Seele, who was looking at her with concern.
"Good boy..."
Two streams of bloody tears slid down Demeter's cheeks as she murmured and released her firewall.
In an instant, Gwen's erosion progress reached 100%, seizing control of Demeter before the other data could reach him.
"It seems we've gained a slight advantage here..."
With a whisper, Gwen completely annihilated the data that had invaded Demeter's system, then took Seele's small hand—
"Seele, I am now handing over Demeter's highest authority to you. You will command her to assist in the defense later."
"I..."
Upon hearing this, Seele instinctively withdrew her hand, but Gwen grabbed her.
Meeting Gwen's gaze, the girl bit her lip lightly and nodded vigorously—
"Yes, Seele will try her best."
"Brother Gwen trusts me, I can't let him down!"
The girl thought to herself.
"Next, Shiki, Arcueid, and Seele in evacuating the citizens of Olympus— "
With Demeter around, persuading them was not difficult.
"Artoria, you should either stay with Ritsuka and the others, or evacuate with the civilians."
Seeing that Seele had mustered her courage, Gwen smiled and nodded, then looked at the others and began to assign tasks.
"Based on the information I have seen, those who are killed by Zeus's unleashed thunderbolts cannot be resurrected even with Demeter's power, so it is best to evacuate them as much as possible."
Ritsuka, Mash, you may still have some abilities that could be useful, but please don't use them unless absolutely necessary.
Using some things might come at a much higher price.
"... Yes, senior!"
Mash tightened her grip on the shield and said, pursing her lips.
"It's fine here too."
After arriving, Sayo Aika, who had been staring at Ryougi Shiki, seemed to suddenly come back to life and said with a grin,
"However, what are Gwen's plans to do with that big guy in the sky?"
"That...
Do you think Athena's Saint Seiya are the most suitable to fight Zeus?
Or is Apollo more suitable?
Chapter 647 Calling for Team Members
"Ha?"
Faced with this nonsensical question, whether it was Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, or the newly arrived Sayo Aika and Arcueid, or even the smiling Ryougi Shiki, all voiced their doubts.
Only the clueless Britain country goblin blinked, weakly clutching his Staff of Selection, oblivious to what Gwen was saying, highlighting his pitiful, weak, and helpless state.
"Saint Seiya?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had once unearthed the complete set from her father's treasured collection, scratched her head and tentatively asked—
"Pegasus Meteor Fist?"
"As expected, Ritsuka, you know a lot..."
Gwen raised an eyebrow.
"Hehe, it's alright..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her head, her gaze wandering—
One or two years ago, when she was still a high school girl, someone mentioned that she liked reading comics, especially the kind of shonen manga. Subconsciously, she didn't want to admit it.
"While I'm not sure if the Saint Seiya you're talking about Gwen, is the same Saint Seiya I know, but..."
You seemed to have just mentioned Apollo?
Dr. Roman had just connected to the communication, appeared, looking puzzled.
"Has the legacy of the fallen Apollo been found?"
But even a fully-fledged Apollo couldn't defeat Zeus in this state, could he?
Little Da Vinci pushed past Dr. Roman and asked.
"Or perhaps, Gwen, your true identity is actually the god Apollo?"
The projections of Dr. Roman and Little Da Vinci narrowed instantly, and Shion, who was in the Wandering Sea, also squeezed into the discussion.
"Not the Apollo you imagine, and..."
Oh..."
With a light laugh, Gwen offered no further explanation, but simply activated the system.
"It's a pity that this broken system's Chat Group is still broken. Otherwise, with Zeus and Chaos's level, they could have at least created a group quest, right?"
Lost in thought about all sorts of things, Gwen clicked "confirm," and suddenly a series of figures appeared beside him—
"They are my comrades-in-arms from the original world, and they will assist you in the upcoming evacuation operation."
"Huh?"
Anna, Mei, Himeko, Fu Hua, Wendy, and... Kiana?
Before Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others could react, Seele stared wide-eyed at the familiar figures and exclaimed in surprise.
"What, are you surprised to see us?"
Himeko first looked up at the thunder in the sky, her brows furrowing slightly. Hearing Seele's surprised words, she smiled at Seele.
"No, no, it was just a bit of a surprise..."
Seele waved her hands repeatedly, her gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Gwen.
"Zeus's attack range is too large. In order to speed up the retreat, I found some helpers for Seele."
Gwen smiled and explained to Seele, then glanced at the group he had pulled over and said:
"As explained before, this is another world, which is very similar to our world. Carefully feel the changes in your powers in this world, and carefully experience your own powers during the upcoming rescue."
Especially you, Mei. Although Zeus is a being who unites multiple powers, his most important and powerful attribute is his thunderbolt.
"I will."
Mei took a deep breath, feeling the terrifying pressure rolling down from the sky, and nodded heavily.
"But are you sure you don't need our help?"
That level of scale...
Sensing the terrifying energy source in the sky, Anna couldn't help but hesitate.
"If I can't solve it, I will of course call you all to come without hesitation."
But leave it to me for now.
"You should assist the residents here in evacuating first."
Gwen placed his left hand on the hilt of the Broken Blade at his waist and said in a deep voice.
"No problem, leave it to us."
Kiana nodded emphatically, her one gold and one blue eyes standing out.
Kiana, you... you succeeded?
Looking at Kiana's golden eyes, which clearly belonged to the Herrscher of the Void, Gwen raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Hehe, I was going to give you a surprise."
Kiana scratched her head, but the next moment her words took a sudden turn, her voice ethereal and otherworldly—
"I'm just here to expose your ridiculous lies..."
"Yes, yes, you're right..."
Gwen didn't argue with her, but simply looked at Seele—
"Seele, it's urgent. Introduce yourself to everyone. I'm going to deal with Zeus first."
"Ah?
OK..."
