Type-Moon, a human love simulator.

Chapter 132 The Age of Gods reaches its peak at this moment!
In the first year of the establishment of the First Greek Empire, it can be said that almost the whole world was in rebellion.

The only lesson humanity can learn from history is that it can learn no lessons.

Even if there are prophecies and oracles from gods, are there not enough people who go against them?

Humans who disobeyed oracles and thus suffered tragedy are also part of Greek mythology.

Even though the gods had predicted that humans could not resist the supreme great hero, humans did not believe it.

They connect with each other, comfort each other, and hug each other, just like ants gathering together to build intricate ant nests, and then they dare to laugh at human houses for being too simple.

They also want to overthrow the 'Didorek' (dictator) Suren.

Suren never refused the derogatory title of Didorac, and he never denied that he was the most autocratic tyrant.

However, there is only a fine line between a tyrant and a wise ruler. Even if he is a tyrant, he is the most benevolent tyrant and the greatest dictator.

Faced with the rebellion of almost all Greece, Suren was dismissive. He sat on the Golden Heaven and could kill all the nobles of the Old World in Greece within one day, but he still did not do so.

Suren threw Hercules out. This hero who had completed the twelve trials undoubtedly had overwhelming strength when facing the Greeks.

Only Surlun can tame this bloodthirsty berserker.

Under the crushing violence of Hercules, he brought all the leaders of the resistance to Athens, ordered the Athenians to judge them, and publicly tried the slaves of their respective city-states. Most of the slave owners, nobles and even kings were executed according to the code and thrown into the underworld, or sent to forced labor.

The vigorous rebellion against the emperor that swept across Greece was easily suppressed by Hercules, the commander of the imperial guards, without the Emperor Suron showing up at all.

——The Emperor is above!
This sentence has become a colloquialism among most Greeks, similar to "God" and "Oh God", and is being integrated into Greek life.

Human beings live and work in peace and contentment. Everyone can live freely in this beautiful era and achieve a happy life of self-realization.

Everyone can face oppression and injustice and choose to say no, because they know that the Emperor is protecting them and is with them.

Simulation reaches its peak at this moment, and the Age of Gods reaches its peak at this moment!
Suren did not forget the bloody truth of the world, but he still stubbornly believed that he could stay in the world forever at this moment.

Greece is here, and will always be here!
"Athena, the human code has been revised almost completely, but what about the divine code?"

Even though he became the Greek emperor who bound humans and gods, Suren still maintained full respect for the gods, because this was the covenant he made with the gods as the wedge between humans and gods.

No one can fail to respect the gods, and at the same time, the gods will provide mankind with meticulous help.

This was fine, but it did not please Athena.

She knew that humans should respect God. This was the truth that God had taught humans for countless years, and it was also the rule set by Suerlun. She agreed with this truth, but she also thought that Suerlun was different.

"Suerlun, since you want to restrain the gods and establish a world ruled by gods and humans, then you can't..."

At this point, Athena was a little confused. In fact, she didn't know what to say. Should she say, "I don't like you treating me with such respect. Can you... be a little more indulgent?"
Once such words are spoken, the face of the God will be lost, right?

"I am the emperor of Greece. Doesn't that conflict with my respect for the gods?"

Surren didn't quite understand what Athena was thinking, but he still replied: "After all, I am the emperor of mankind. I can only try my best to restrain the gods, but I can't really interfere in every aspect of the gods' lives."

"That is the power of Zeus, the king of gods."

Suren does whatever he wants without going beyond the rules. He has transformed the world into a place where he can do whatever he wants without going beyond the rules. Naturally, his attitude towards God will not change just because he is a Greek or a Greek emperor.

No matter who he is, God is the same to him.

In fact, Zeus, the old god of fun, doesn't care about this little power!

He wished there was someone to help him manage these lawless gods.

If he really cared about power, there would be no Round Table of the Twelve Gods, and the Greek gods would not be as lax as they are today.

Of course Athena did not say all this out loud. She has always been a goddess who likes to use actions instead of empty talk. No matter how much she talks, it is not as useful as a factual example.

In this short moment, the goddess of wisdom had used her omnipotent wisdom to come up with a brilliant idea.

"Hmm... Suren, the part of the Supreme Code concerning humans has probably been completed, but the knowledge possessed by Greek scholars cannot support the formulation of a code concerning gods."

Athena turned her head and said seriously, "So, the next part should be discussed by you and me."

"Yes, Athena."

The air is filled with a fresh and elegant fragrance. Just a sniff is enough to make you feel as if you have arrived at the elegant and quiet place where you are sitting alone in a valley after the rain and reading a book. In short, it is a feeling that makes people feel extremely relaxed.

This faint fragrance seems to come from... Athena?

Does Athena always have a scent on her body?

Suerlun retracted his emotions. Yes, a goddess should have this kind of charm, right? However, he had never noticed it before?

"Don't be so serious. Why do you have to be so serious?" Athena propped her elbow on the desk, supported her chin with one hand, tilted her head and said with a sweet smile: "Sulun, look at my desk. It's so big. If I use it alone, isn't it a little thin?"

At this time, Athena no longer looked like a majestic goddess, but rather like a girl next door, full of youthful and lively temperament.

Perhaps only unmarried girls can have this kind of "simple" and "pure" feeling?
If one person is too weak, do we need... several people?
A thought flashed through Suerlun's mind, and he immediately said seriously: "It is a bit thin, but Athena, you are a god, so you naturally have to use the best of everything..."

"The best... is it?" Athena thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "They are all trivial matters, Suerlun, let's talk about the serious matters first!"

Athena, the goddess of wisdom, is the most valued daughter of the king of gods Zeus. She is also the bravest, most outstanding, most capable and wise daughter. Even in love, she must seize the initiative.

She was waiting, waiting for Suerlun to fulfill his long-cherished wish, waiting for Suerlun to open his heart, waiting for Suerlun...

Take the initiative to confess to her.

"There's no need to rush, there's still plenty of time!"

Athena thought silently.

The goddess always has a lot of spare time, and her excessive patience allows her to easily weave a sweet enough web.

There is nothing worth pondering about the formulation of the code. After all, gods are advanced life forms that are unequal to humans and cannot be completely equal. It is already very difficult to restrain them to barely abide by the rules and not abuse their power.

It was enough to pay lip service to equality of status and to agree with the gods not to abuse their power to harm humanity.

Therefore, Suren invented the labor system. If the gods committed crimes against humans, they would have to contribute to the development of mankind until their sins were paid for.

And if the gods help humans, as a thank you, humans must respond to the gods' reasonable requests as a condition for pleasing the gods.

Athena spent most of her time listening, and from time to time helped Suren to check for omissions and fill in some details, and finally passed the first draft of the constraints on the gods.

"Don't worry too much, I will help you. The gods will definitely be obedient. After all, I am the chief designer recommended by the gods!"

Power belongs to all gods, and Athena only has 24-hour command authority.

Athena smiled sweetly, with that special charm between a young girl and a mature woman, which made Suren's heart flutter. It must be said that appreciating beauty is human nature, and it is an eternal truth that one's values ​​follow one's five senses.

Athena is worthy of being a goddess who can compete with the goddess of beauty and the queen of heaven. At least in Surren's opinion, Athena's beauty is definitely not inferior to any other goddess, and she is several levels stronger than that stinky woman Aphrodite who looks like a female imp!

But what Suren didn't know was that the little kitten had two faces. Behind the scenes, Athena was an absolute devil, a devil that the gods feared and dared not provoke.

There is a saying among the Greek gods:

Those who fear Hera are inferior gods, those who respect Hestia are gods with profound vision, but all gods should not provoke Athena.

This is the goddess who would throw Sicily at someone if she disagreed with you. Your lie about her being gentle and intellectual is just that!

No, perhaps in front of Suren, Athena is indeed a gentle and intellectual goddess.

Suerlun shook his head: "I will be thankful if the gods can behave themselves."

"Why? You don't trust me?" Athena's eyes flickered, her bright eyes narrowed slightly, and she smiled softly, "Don't I still have someone to help you?"

"If they don't listen to me..."

Athena bit her lip and said weakly, "Then I will go to the great father Zeus to make the decision~"

Anyway-

I, Athena, am weak and cannot take care of myself!

But I'm willing to help you~
In fact, Athena was secretly thinking in her heart, whoever disobeys will just twist off the head and throw him into the River Styx to take a bath, then the rest will surely be obedient, right?
"Forehead……"

Suren felt that he could no longer withstand Athena's offensive, although he always felt that Athena's words seemed to be unintentional.

He subconsciously changed the subject: "By the way, Athena, why can't I see Artemis recently?"

"It's been a long time..."

"..."

"My Suerlun, has anyone ever taught you... that it is best not to mention one goddess in front of another goddess?"

Athena looked very angry, showing the attitude of a willful girl to the fullest. In a trance, Suren couldn't tell whether it was Athena or a little girl.

Ah this...

Suerlun was a little embarrassed, but he was not an ordinary person. He was not suppressed by Athena's ever-changing temperament. Instead, he nodded and said, "Indeed not. Thank you for the guidance of Goddess Athena."

Athena frowned slightly. Did she go too far?

Engaging in a love brain battle with someone like Surren is a troublesome job that requires both mental and physical strength. Perhaps only Athena would do this.

But Athena is Athena after all. She said lightly: "It's okay. I forgive you. After all, Artemis is your 'family'~"

What a skilled chess player! She can see thunder in silence. Athena can defeat her opponent without her chess pieces falling on the board.

Before Surren could say anything, Athena, who was ready to give up, stopped pressing the attack and took the initiative to change the subject.

Even the topic that was diverted was in line with what Suerlun said.

"Sullen, don't worry about Artemis. She's fine now and even said she wants to help you!" Athena explained, "So, Artemis is inevitably busy recently and can't spare the time..."

"When I have the honor of meeting Artemis, I will help you convey my thoughts and feelings?"

"...Okay." Suren nodded and agreed to Athena's proposal.

For some reason, Surren always had a subtle feeling that everything was arranged clearly, but every word Athena said was in line with his wishes, and there was nothing that he felt he needed to object to. Even if he were to do it himself, he would probably do the same.

Am I backwards compatible?
Suerlun couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Athena breathed a sigh of relief, secretly sighing that Suren was too sensitive and too smart. Even with her ability as a goddess of wisdom, she almost failed to stabilize Suren.

Before this, Athena had always been successful in deceiving the gods. Unless one looked at it from a God's perspective, even Zeus would not be able to directly see through Athena's schemes.

For example, the position of [Guardian of Craftsmen] as the chief designer, when Athena first proposed it, the gods thought it was a position of cattle and horses and ridiculed it, and directly gave it to the "reluctant" Athena. Until now, the gods gradually came to their senses, and this was actually a general position that was a favor to everyone!

But now, Athena had met her opponent. Even if she had no intention, facing Surlun who was completely defenseless against her, her secret tricks were almost seen through by Surlun.

In the end, in order not to expose her own evil intentions, Athena could only integrate her own little thoughts into Surren's will, rather than guiding Surren to follow her own ideas.

The love battle with the King of Gold continues...
-
"By the way, my Suerlun, you seem to be surrounded by the women you had a relationship with before?" Athena successfully changed the subject and smiled mischievously: "Atalanta or Europa, you have to choose one, right?"

"I choose or!" Suer Lun shook his head: "Ta Miao or Europa, both are good girls, but it's a pity that I don't have the courage to carry a girl's life now."

As the Greek emperor, Suren was no longer homeless like before, so naturally he was blocked by Europa who came here to smell the scent.

In the Golden Age of Suerlun, everyone has the freedom to say "no", and even the king of gods cannot force others.

This is the "freedom" that Suerlun understands and protects——

It’s not that you can do whatever you want, but you don’t have to do what you don’t want to do!
But Suerlun didn't expect that after he protected Europa's freedom, Europa wanted to have a whole European offspring with him...

She also said that this was fate, that she was destined to be the grandmother of Europe, and that Suren needed to help her fulfill her responsibilities.

So it's a selective implementation, right? Zeus isn't okay, but Suren is?

Of course, Suerlun thought that this was not a good idea. If you, Europe, do not reproduce, will there be no people in Europe in the future?

The earth will continue to rotate without anyone, and no one is indispensable.

Atalanta also followed and continued her love pursuit which was like hunting. Suren was troubled every day by being entangled by these two girls.

Ta Miao is too stubborn and Europa is too crazy. If these two people really develop a relationship beyond friendship with them, Suerlun's life will definitely be messed up.

"Is that so?" Athena thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Sullen is really responsible. But since you said so, they may be very busy recently, right?"

"Huh? Where did this come from?" Suren was curious. How did Athena make this inference? Could she personally assign tasks to these two girls?
"It's a secret~" Athena stretched out a finger and placed it on her pink lips. Her white and slender fingers and crystal clear pink lips complemented each other.

No wonder it is said that beauty is the perfect landscape painting. Every move of this wise goddess carries with her the intellectuality and elegance unique to Athena, like a quiet and beautiful painting that demonstrates her charm without too much movement.

Perhaps in the eyes of most Greeks, this elegance and grace is not as good as the rough and direct female beauty of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, but Suren felt that Athena was far better than that red-haired little devil Aphrodite.

Suren rubbed his face and stopped thinking.
-
After Suren returned to the palace, he could no longer see Atalanta and Europa. He was very surprised by this. He didn't expect that Athena's prediction would come true.
There were two letters on the desk in front of him. Suren opened them and saw that the first one was from Atalanta.

[Sullun, the goddess of the moon and hunting, Artemis, is calling me. Artemis needs me. I will be back soon. Don't worry about me~]

The second one is from Europa——

[Sullun, Queen Hera wants to ask me something. I don't know what it is, but it's urgent. I'm going to Mount Olympus first. I'll come back to see you soon.]

Then, this quickly went from one day to a week, a month, and even a year, and the two girls still hadn't returned.

However, Suerlun received some small gifts from time to time. Sometimes it was water from the Styx, sometimes it was materials unique to Hell, and the most precious one was a golden apple...

Although the golden apple appears very frequently in Greek mythology, it is an absolute rarity.

This is a treasure that belongs exclusively to Queen Hera. Just like the Peach Garden of the Queen Mother, the Golden Apple Garden is guarded by the hundred-headed dragon Ladon. This ferocious dragon and snake is difficult to defeat even for gods.

The golden apple has a very powerful ability. As long as energy is applied to the golden apple, whether it is magic or power, using the golden apple as a medium to cast spells can produce an effect that cannot be exempted.

It's like Atalanta is the strongest female hero in Greece, but she can't control herself from bending down to pick up the fateful golden apple. The goddess of discord can easily use a golden apple to stir up disputes among the three strongest goddesses in Greece.

Suren could guarantee that the golden apple he received was not the one in Atalanta's hand, the magical golden apple of love that he got from Aphrodite, which made people addicted to it, but a blank golden apple.

If Surlun wanted, he could even use this golden apple to create a control-type holy object similar to the "Thought Seal".

At the same time, in the underworld, Artemis, who was working hard to refine materials by the River Styx, thought sweetly: "Surren should have received my gift, right?"

"Alas~ Why did the Styx move at this moment?"

Artemis stretched out her slender white wrist to wipe her forehead, and her pretty cheek was inevitably rubbed with the underworld mud stained with the water of the River Styx, but she herself was completely unaware.

Since Athena became the patron saint of craftsmen and had the power to control the gods and mobilize them to make ashes, Artemis was banished by Athena to the River Styx to make ashes, completely away from Surren.

Artemis did have some objections. After all, going to the River Styx to collect ashes (crossed out)... to refine materials for building a wall, it sounded like a tough job, right?

None of the gods were willing to take on this crappy job, and ultimately they relied on drawing lots and using Surren's PUA to successfully send Artemis to the Styx construction site to work as a laborer.

There are task targets every day. Even with the strength of a god, Artemis needs to be busy from morning to night 996.

After working as a hard worker at the construction site for a while, Artemis calmed down a lot. She knew that she was a bit reckless at the beginning and was ready to seek forgiveness from Suren. So she would send the fruits of her hard work at the Styx construction site to Suren from time to time.

The golden apple was a bonus given by Hera to Artemis because she saw that Artemis worked so hard.

"Atalanta?" Artemis put down the shovel in his hand, stood up and called out to his believers.

"I'm here, Lady Artemis." Atalanta also became much whiter. There was no sunlight under the River Styx, and it was much quieter than the forest exposed to wind and sun. Her skin became whiter after staying here.

"You've been studying with me for a year, so you've pretty much mastered the process, right?"

Artemis said: "You can hold my place for a while. It won't take long. I will go to Athens."

Suerlun was studying the golden apple. He stroked his chin and said to himself, "This thing is really a precious spellcasting material... But can it be eaten?"

What do golden apples taste like?

This is probably an unsolved mystery in Greece. It seems that no one who got the golden apple, including Hera, would think of eating it.

But this thing is indeed a fruit. It is not made of gold, but it exudes the same color as gold. Its essence is still fruit.

It is worthy of being a product of the Age of Gods!
"But I only have one golden apple in my hand. Wouldn't it be a bit of a waste to eat it like this?"

Suerlun fell into deep thought. Even the gods were reluctant to eat it. This looked like a good thing.

If Hera were here, she would tell him that it was not that the gods were reluctant to eat, but that they had no appetite. For Hera, the golden apples were much more valuable as ornamental potted plants than as food.

The golden apple represents the highest honor in Greece. In the old days, all the kings and heroes in Greece were proud to receive the golden apple, and awarding the golden apple was also the highest honor given by the gods to mankind.

It’s not that I can’t eat it or I can’t bear to eat it, but I just don’t want to eat it.

Just as Suerlun was struggling over whether to take a sip, he suddenly heard a very familiar and cheerful voice calling out: "Suerlun~ beautiful little Suerlun..."

There is only one person, or god, who would call Surlun like this.

That was Cynthia, or Artemis.

Hearing this familiar voice, Suerlun raised his head, looked at Artemis who suddenly appeared in the room, and gave her a big hug: "Long time no see, Lady Artemis..."

Artemis pushed him away and said shyly, "Don't do that. You're dirty... It's not good for humans to be exposed to the water of the Styx."

Suerlun shook his head and said, "I have been soaked in the water of five Styx rivers and have been burned by the fire of heaven. Nothing in the world can affect my body."

Although Surren's immortal body was an acquired achievement, it represented the highest achievement of Greece. Several goddesses had invested huge sums of money, and even Hestia had donated the sacred fire of Olympus to create Surren's invincible body.

This body is extremely powerful. Not to mention that Artemis only has a little water from the Styx on her body, even if Surren is thrown into the most stringent river of oaths, it will not be able to shake Surren's body.

But Artemis didn't know so much, or she was too concerned. Even if they couldn't get married, Artemis would be the one who cared about Suerlun the most.

"Sullen, did you receive the golden apple I sent you before?" Artemis narrowed her eyes and looked at Surlen with great satisfaction: "I asked Hermes to bring it here, there shouldn't be any accidents, right?"

Hermes, the messenger of the gods, asked one of the main gods to take action. It was just a matter of sending a golden apple, so naturally nothing would go wrong.

"So it was you who sent it!" Suerlun suddenly realized. Although he had given up thinking about the origin of the golden apple in the past few days, knowing the origin of the apple also solved a doubt.

"Then you sent all the other things as well?"

"Yes!" Artemis nodded and said, "The gods said that there was something wrong with the Styx, and Athena specially arranged for me to go to the Styx to stabilize and repair it. This is the reward for my work in the Styx."

Suerlun thought about the precious materials he had received over the past year. Many of these things were not from this world, but were things that only gods were qualified to possess.

"By the way, there are some things that are not convenient to send, so I brought them all this time."

As he spoke, Artemis carefully handed over the wages he had earned from working like a slave on the construction site to Suren.

The most numerous of them were golden apples. After all, Hera had an entire apple orchard, and she could have as many golden apples as she wanted, which was more than enough to pay Artemis' salary.

Suren looked up at Artemis, and saw that the goddess's fair face still had marks left by the drying up of the River Styx.

Ordinary stains cannot stain the body of the goddess, but the water of the Styx is a divine thing that can cause gods to fall and lose their divine power. Even the main god cannot completely remove the mark of the Styx water on his body.

Even though Artemis had cleaned up as best she could, she was in such a rush that she couldn't do it perfectly, allowing Suren to notice some traces.

Suren pursed his lips. He didn't know what to say. He always felt that Lady Artemis looked so pitiful. Artemis was so naive. Would she be bullied by the gods?
But although Lord Artemis is naive, his strength is not to be underestimated, and his twin brother Lord Apollo is also a top god...

Who on earth could make Apollo dare not say a word and arrange for Artemis to collect dust and do such a hard-working job 996 hours a day?

"I don't understand. After all, I'm just a Suerlun."

Suerlun sighed in his heart. He didn't understand any of this, and he couldn't understand it...

Just when Suerlun was 'thinking hard' about who was bullying Lady Artemis, he suddenly heard Artemis cautiously say: "Suerlun, do you not like these gifts?"

"It's okay. I'll bring you better treasures next time. Hades said that in order to thank me for reinforcing the Styx, he would allow me to use all the materials in the underworld."

Hades is the god of wealth. When it comes to treasure, Hades is the richest god in Greece.

The treasury of the underworld houses the most precious treasures of Greece. In order to strengthen the River Styx, Hades opened the treasury to Artemis, so it would be easy for her to do something about it.

"No, I love it, Artemis..."

Just as the two were getting along well and Suren was about to answer, Artemis suddenly heard the voices of her believers praying.

That was Atalanta—

"Lord Artemis, the Styx is moving... no, it's rioting. I can't handle it anymore. Please help me!!!"

Artemis's face tensed, and she didn't even have time to say goodbye. She just left a sentence "Oh no, the Styx is rioting!" and disappeared in front of Suren.

But when Artemis returned to the River Styx as quickly as possible, she found that the River Styx was still intact and had not changed at all, while Atalanta looked as if she had survived a disaster.

"Strange, how could it become like this?"

Artemis was puzzled, but thinking of Surlun, she started working honestly.

"Hehe, I'm sure I can earn more golden apples by working so hard, so that Suerlun won't have to worry about golden apples anymore..."

The hunting goddess, full of longing, became full of energy again.

(End of this chapter)
