Chapter 651 The Sun - Storm Sword!
Under the watchful eyes, some expectant and some apprehensive, a colossal Corona Greatsword, seemingly capable of tearing the world apart and reshaping the heavens and earth, fell upon the shattered, illusory sky beneath the real starry sky.
Zeus, however, could only issue continuous system broadcasts, each function going through and activating under the vast energy reserves, yet only issuing reports of failure.
It was as if, under that overwhelming power, even a being as massive as Zeus was merely a lamb to the slaughter, waiting for the giant sword to fall and cleave him in two.
Before anyone could react, the Corona Greatsword, radiating divine might, had already descended upon Zeus's head. The material at its tip had already begun to melt under the terrifying heat, and the hardened body was utterly vulnerable to the sword's sharpness.
However, just as it was about to be completely destroyed, Zeus's system activated its final defensive measure—
"Power activated—"
The simulated world allows for the maximization and enhancement of defenses.
Authority Gaia
Pass!"
In that instant, a faint halo appeared on the surface of Zeus's body, like a waxed plaster head shining brightly in the sunlight.
Both the enormous head that was about to be split in two and the top of the head that had already been melted were protected under a thin film of light that was barely visible to the naked eye but could be seen under the sun's radiance.
This seemingly impenetrable membrane of light halted the massive Corona Greatsword that was about to cleave Zeus's head in two, ending the lives of the humans on this planet whom he had once deeply loved but now intended to abandon. It could no longer descend even a fraction of an inch.
Whether it was the Corona Greatsword that could easily shatter islands and split continents, or the radiant light and leaping flames on it, everything was blocked by the thin film of light, making it difficult to have any effect.
"Hey, why isn't Gwen chopping anymore?"
Kiana had somehow produced a pair of sunglasses and was preparing to watch the fireworks, frowned.
"After all, it's a flagship of a deep-space fleet capable of navigating the universe, and it possesses almost all the omnipotent functions of the twelve Olympian gods. It's reasonable that it would have some defensive capabilities."
Anna hesitated.
"We can leave the analysis of the enemy's abilities for later. Right now, we need to consider how to help Gwen break through the enemy's defenses."
Mei's face tensed, and an invisible Force Field began to gather around her, ready to be unleashed.
"Exactly! Let's finish the fight first!"
With her eyes already red, Fu Hua, or rather, the Herrscher of Reason, raised her fist in agreement with Mei.
"This isn't Earth, after all. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to ask the locals?"
Himeko glanced at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, who had communication channels with the rear.
However, before Mash could ask Dr. Roman, someone else provided an answer—
"It is indeed the defensive capability of that big head."
Arcueid's crimson eyes narrowed slightly as she watched the terrifying collision where the sky met the stars—
"Defense is achieved by simulating world defense... and time and space are being distorted in an attempt to place the two sides in different time and space, thus completely nullifying the attack."
As Arcueid finished speaking, another announcement came from Zeus's machine—
"Power activated—"
Distorting time and space, attempting to completely isolate the possibility of an attack hitting its target—
Authority Genesis
Start up!"
"What?"
Upon hearing Arcueid's words, Kiana was startled and ripped off her sunglasses, her face filled with disbelief.
"Is it simulating Gaia's powers... and Uranus?"
Sayo Aika stroked her smooth chin, her expression remaining calm.
"So how should we stop them?"
Seeing that they seemed to have figured something out, Mei quickly stepped forward and asked.
"Or crush them with sheer magnitude."
Alternatively, it can be neutralized or countered using the corresponding powers.
Ryougi Shiki shook her head slightly, her azure eyes gleaming with an eerie light as she gazed at the colossal object in the sky.
"We can't do the former. The opponent's level has surpassed that of a god. Only Arcueid's full effort could make it possible, but she needs time."
"But for the latter, you only have space, not time."
"Does Shiki want to make a move?"
Sayo Aika tilted her head, looking at the Ryougi Shiki that appeared in her hand Kuji Kanesada Ryougi Shiki.
"But you can't get close to Shiki's body yet, can you?"
Even with the body of a heroic spirit, wouldn't a single strike of that lightning be fatal?
"In that case, let's prepare for both possibilities—"
Upon hearing the two methods offered by Mei Ryougi Shiki, Mei's expression turned resolute—
"We have basically adapted to the environment here and are trying to go all out to help Gwen break through the opponent's defenses."
Meanwhile, Kiana, try to teleport to the enemy's side to buy some time for this Ryougi-san.
"Okay."
No one objected, and everyone prepared to take action.
Seeing this, Mash, who was just about to take out the replica of the God of Cannon that had been delivered not long ago to test whether she could directly launch a conceptual attack, gave up speaking and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with an inquiring gaze.
Just as the people on the ground were preparing to find a way to provide support, a Solar Wind blew out from the coronal hole in the corona of the sun in the starry sky.
Thanks to the Earth's magnetic field, the Solar Wind speed, rarely blows directly into the Earth.
However, seemingly having observed this phenomenon, a hidden piece of data within the Apollo machine was awakened and transmitted into Gwen's mind—
Although he no longer has the crucial core energy sphere, Gwen can still use his computing power to verify and calculate information, and control the output of energy.
The next moment, the blocked Corona Greatsword rapidly shrank, and the energy emanating from it illuminated Zeus's enormous head.
"What happened? Has the energy run out?"
Unable to see the details clearly, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked Mash beside her.
"It shouldn't be...?"
Mash was ready to remove and install the replica cannon.
Although Gwen said it was best not to use it, it seems that now it's a last resort.
However, the voice coming from the communication interrupted her actions—
"No, according to the energy reaction, Gwen's sword has an even higher energy reaction, it seems he has a backup plan."
"Noble Phantasm Second Release?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately recalled something.
"Sun--"
As if in response to Fujimaru Ritsuka's words, Zeus, who had been illuminated in the sky, suddenly shone brightly. A beam of light, like Solar Wind bursting forth from the corona, continuously blew against Zeus, in the increasingly intense light, resembled a luminous star—
"Storm Sword!"
Chapter 652 The Void Exists with God
"No... it's even faster than that... the energy reaction is also skyrocketing..."
Dr. Roman's explanation came late, but everyone present had already seen the figure that was moving at supersonic speeds, and then at light speeds invisible to the naked eye, constantly slashing at the ever-brighter Zeus.
After countless strikes, Zeus's body was radiant with light that completely obscured his own form, dazzling and blinding.
In the white light that blotted out the starry sky and enveloped the entire Olympus, a figure stopped spinning rapidly, his back to the dazzling sphere of light, and his Corona Sword trembled slightly in his hand—
Boom!
Zeus behind him exploded like a firework reaching its peak, destroying the light membrane simulating the world barrier and the distorted spacetime, leaving the machine engulfed by the blinding white light.
"It worked?"
Kiana, who was locking onto the coordinates, was stunned.
"How?
The young people backstage?
Himeko looked at Mash and asked Dr. Roman.
After a moment of silence, everyone heard Dr. Roman's surprised voice—
"The energy reaction is rapidly weakening, God Zeus —break through!"
"It worked..."
With a hint of disappointment, the Herrscher of Reason put away her Sword God, which she was unleashing, but her red eyes still gazed at the sky, as if searching for something.
"Will Apollo end Zeus's reign?"
This doesn't align with the mythological prophecy that the youngest son will end his reign.
Sayo Aika looked at Ryougi Shiki with a smile. She didn't believe that the Root would so readily accept Gwen, who had only been on Earth for a short time.
"But Gwen's Apollo is not that Apollo, is he?"
Ryougi Shiki Sayo Aika's question with a faint smile, then looked up at the sky—
"Moreover, he has to face more than just Apollo..."
"There's a second phase?"
Upon hearing this, Himeko was startled.
"They are a new enemy."
Ryougi Shiki gently shook her head.
"Doctor!"
Mash and Ritsuka immediately called Dr. Roman.
"The energy reaction is too strong to be detected..."
Dr. Roman was sweating profusely, and next to him, Little Da Vinci looked equally serious.
"But the problem is that even a god couldn't survive such an energy impact..."
Before they could reach a conclusion, Kiana frowned and stared intently at the sky.
"Something's not right about the space there..."
"What?
Kiana, have you noticed something?
With a flash of lightning, Mei rushed to Kiana's side.
"Something seems off about the space where Zeus was before..."
Even if we forcibly tore the space there apart, and given the already abnormal energy surge, this fluctuation..."
"Something's definitely not right, the big one is coming."
