Type-Moon, a human love simulator.

Chapter 139: The Biography of Surun, the Golden King in Ancient Greek Mythology (End of Volume)

"Ah, Son of Man..."

Zeus shook his head and said nothing more. He just said: "The only destiny cannot be violated. Even if you do it to the end and do your best, it will still lead to the only ending."

"But, as a 'father', I will choose to help you."

Even though the price is...

Zeus lowered his eyelids. Since the child did not want to submit to his fate and sang in resistance, Zeus could only support Suren to the best of his ability.

Suren nodded and said, "Zeus, if we make a specimen of Guigantes and store it forever in Hell, can we extend the Age of Gods?"

"...I don't know." Zeus shook his head.

"Is there anything you don't know?" Suren was surprised. Zeus, as the wisest and elder of all gods, has always been a kind and wise king of gods. Suren can choose to ask Zeus about all his doubts.

But now, Zeus said he didn't know.

"Because I don't know how to prolong the Age of Gods, I can only accept this final fate."

Zeus said calmly, "You also know about the White Giant God, right? Before we gods lost our bodies, I called a meeting of the twelve gods to discuss whether to merge into one."

"If the power of the twelve mechanical gods is gathered into one, then the combined omnipotent god may have the answer."

“But right now, there’s really nothing I can do.”

"It seems that in the end, I can only rely on myself."

Suren nodded and accepted the result.

Zeus is not omnipotent after all. Although he is the highest god in Olympus, there are things he cannot do or think of.

And Zeus has no obligation to help him. After all, these are just Suren's wishful thinking, right?

"But I'm going to force it!"

Suerlun gritted his teeth. Even so, even so...

Even though everyone believed that the Age of Gods would pass away and that fate could not be changed, Suerlun was unwilling to give up and could not give up!

"I am the King of Gold... I am the Greek Emperor who achieved the Golden Age!"

Surlun's eyes sparkled with high morale. He could make the impossible Golden Age come true, so why couldn't he let the Age of Gods stay here forever?
-
The King of Kings who rules the golden kingdom, all that belongs to man belongs to him, and all that belongs to gods also belongs to him.

He stood on the highest peak, looking down at the kingdom he had created, and the most terrifying delusion arose in his heart - I want this moment to last forever.

However, the King of Kings did not know that fate cannot be violated...

Everything he does will bring the most terrible disaster to the Golden Kingdom.

——Ancient Greek Mythology: Suren, the King of Gold
-
In the next few years, Surlan gradually retreated from the public eye. He thought he knew too little. The more he studied magic, the more he felt he knew nothing, and the more powerless he felt towards the goals he wanted to achieve.

The only people who are truly fearless are the brave and the foolish.

And Suerlun happens to have both.

Without Suren's suppression and the guidance of his will, the First Greek Empire inevitably began to experience civil strife, and the policies that had been formulated to launch expeditions to Persia and Egypt were all shattered.

There was no supreme king to rule over everything, and no one could unify the power of all the Greek city-states.

Even though Hercules was not weak in strength, his spiritual realm was empty and he only knew how to suppress everything with violence and killing. Ultimately, he was not as good as the Golden King who ruled the world with morality and assisted by force.

It's funny that the best job that Hercules, a powerful demigod hero, could do was to be a slave.

He was born to be a person who needed to be ordered around and whipped before he could do things. Without the collar around his neck, the whip on his head, and the orders from his master, Hercules would not know what to do.

"My king, Greece needs you." Hercules half-knelt outside the Greek library and pleaded with the only scholar inside: "Without your coordination, Greece will soon collapse."

"Hercules, there's no need for this." A gentle and peaceful male voice came from inside: "I have something important to do, please be patient for now!"

"I grant you full authority to handle these trivial matters in the human world. If someone really disagrees, that's fine."

"The whole world is in rebellion, and I will suppress it with my own strength."

"..."

Hercules sighed bitterly and said, "Your will, great Greek emperor, king of gold."

Hercules stood up, finding it hard to imagine that these were the words spoken by the kind King Suren.

Doesn't the king know what it means to let Hercules handle everything?

He only knows how to kill people and not how to govern. Giving him full authority is equivalent to asking Hercules to quell the riots in the way he is best at, which is - killing.

If it were the Surren of the past, he would never agree to such a rough method, but now no one knows what happened. King Surren is no longer wise and brave, and he no longer cares about the Greek people.

The king who said he would bring happiness and laughter to everyone, the king who would allow everyone to live and work in peace and contentment, seemed to have disappeared.

He always said that he was busy with important things, but no one could see the wise king standing in front of them, laughing and saying, "Do whatever you want. This is the most prosperous Greece in the Age of Gods, and everyone can be happy!"

"My king, no matter what troubles you are in, please do not abandon your people..."

Hercules picked up the bow and decided to quell the civil strife in his own way.

The Greek Library, where the Supreme Code was revised.

After the establishment of the First Greek Empire, the first wonder that Suren ordered to be built and in which he himself participated was the Greek Library.

Hermes, the messenger of God, once carried things without sleep for several years and claimed to have hidden all the knowledge in the world.

Suerlun put down another book and sighed, "No, no matter how strong the anchor is, it can't resist the erosion of the restraining force. The power of planetary consciousness is endless. I can't use the power of Greece alone to fight against all the power of the world."

"Matter becoming a soul... No, this is too horrible. This will definitely destroy the world."

"The artificial age of gods only looks like it, but it is actually completely different inside, and it needs 'fuel' to maintain. But it is the best solution at the moment..."

Suerlun murmured to himself: "The five major magics of the legendary Moon World are: the first magic can create things out of thin air, the second magic can interfere with parallel worlds, the third magic can materialize souls, the fourth magic is unknown to anyone, and the fifth magic can end everything."

“If I can master all five magics, these five magics can be called incredible miracles even in the Age of Gods, and maintain everything I want…”

"The first one, changes everything."

"The second follow-up will cover more."

"The third step is to show the future."

"The fourth way to maintain it is to hide yourself."

"The Fifth of the End... The Fifth of the End..."

Suerlun's expression had already fallen into an unknown frenzy. The smarter people are, the more likely they are to get stuck in a dead end. He believed that he had found the right path.

"Magic, magic..."
-
Under Surren's indulgence, classical Greece of the Age of Gods seemed no different from before.

Everything he had done for this golden kingdom seemed to disappear quickly, and gradually, no one seemed to care about Suerlun's will anymore.

After all, the golden king sitting on the throne seemed to be just a breathing clay statue. No matter what happened in Greece, he didn't care at all and didn't say a word.

No one knows what Surren is doing or what he is going to do.

A few years ago, people who were closer to him, such as Hercules and Atalanta, could still see Suren, but in recent years, Suren seemed to have disappeared, and no one could see the Golden King.

No, maybe only God knows.

Athena stood in front of Suerlun, with deep worry in her eyes. Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore and sighed, "Suerlun, don't punish yourself like this."

At this time, Suerlun still had a beauty that ordinary people could not reach, but his temperament was becoming more and more crazy, and he no longer had the kind of approachable affinity he had before.

He began to become paranoid, refused to listen to others, and only believed that he could bear it all.

"Why didn't you come to me and tell me?" Athena grabbed Surren's arm and said, "Why do you have to carry it yourself?"

"Zeus said that he can't do anything." Suren glanced at Athena calmly and said, "I should have known this long ago. Everyone's path is different. The road is under your feet, and only you can walk it out."

"No, I can help you. I can go for you."

Athena held Surren's face and said softly, "My hero, my king, my Surren...Come on, don't be like this anymore, this is not like you."

"I'm here to help you. You can always trust me, just like you trusted me before."

"..."

The scroll in Surren's hand finally fell. Athena grabbed it, looked up, and looked in shock at the conjectures and formulas that almost filled the entire library, the Tower of Babel that was as high as the sky.

In order to preserve the Age of Gods, Suren is thinking all the time. Every thought that comes to his mind is recorded, and he tries every means to prove that it is wrong.

He will only think along this line if it cannot be falsified.

If even he can find the logical loopholes, then it must not be perfect and will definitely fail.

"Athena, thank you for coming to help me. I still have you..."

Suer Lun closed his eyes slightly and said, "Then I'll leave everything to you."

Athena held Suren's hand and said, "Don't worry, I will help you."

"Suerlun, if you want to achieve this goal, what can you do?"

“I can give up everything.”
-
Suren reappeared before the Greeks. He summoned the governors of all city-states and subdued them all with thundering means within one day. The hidden civil strife in Greece was instantly resolved.

Since he had outsourced all his worries to Athena, Suren wanted to make up for the mistakes he had made in recent years as much as possible. He began to personally promulgate good policies and formulate strategies to conquer neighboring countries.

For a time, Greece regained its former glory, the Greek people were united, and the cohesion was unprecedentedly high.

So Suren decided to conquer the Persian Empire in the east. He sent Hercules to meet the king of Persia and asked him to remove the title of king and offer water and soil to Suren, the king of kings.

The king of Persia was naturally unwilling, and Persia's current belief was Zoroastrianism, also known as Zoroastrianism, which believed in the dualism of good and evil, with the good god Ahura and the evil god Angra as the supreme gods.

Upon hearing Hercules' unreasonable and outrageous request, the King of Persia flew into a rage and wanted to kill Hercules to vent his anger. However, the son of Zeus, who would become Hercules in the future, was so powerful that even the gods of good and evil could not kill him. In the end, Hercules escaped.

Suren nodded and didn't say much, just declared war.

Persia was no match for Greece, especially Suren, who was even more powerful. Wherever he went, he was invincible and victorious in every battle.

But at this moment, very bad news came from Greece in the rear.

"What did you say?" Suren looked at Atalanta and asked in a deep voice, "Gigantes appeared in Athens and started eating people?" "Not only Gigantes, but also some people have terrible changes."

Atalanta sighed and said, "It is very likely that a magical accident has been leaked in the city-state of Athens."

"This is impossible... How is it possible?"

Suren said to himself.

If others don't know, how can he not know?
Athena is in the city-state of Athens. Whether it is Gigantes or magical accidents, this goddess should be able to solve them.

Out of trust in Athena, Suren did not return to Athens immediately, but went to the headquarters of the Persian Empire to sign a truce agreement with the Persian king.

Persia itself was struggling under the attack of Surlun and was on the verge of destruction. Although it was unknown why Surlun wanted to cease fire at this time, the Persian king realized that this was a good opportunity.

He personally sought the permission of the Gods of Good and Evil to take action, and decided to kill Suren when he arrived.

But the idea was good, but the result was that Suren hammered all of their heads on the ground. If he hadn't been afraid that no one would sign a truce agreement with him after killing the Persian king, Suren would have crushed him to death.

However, Suren still ceded nearly half of Persia's territory and returned to Greece.

"Persia is just a minor problem anyway. I can come back and deal with it when I have time."

Suren thought to himself, "But why is Athens..."

He doesn't know.

What went wrong in Athens and why did this happen?

But when Suren returned to Athens, there were almost no people in the city-state.

In other words, he is no longer alive.

Gigantes wandered across the Greek territory, Athens was emptied out, and the few remaining "people" looked completely like "souls", more like what Suren saw in the underworld.

When Suerlun saw the tragic situation in Athens, he understood everything instantly...

It was Athena. Only Athena, the main goddess of Athens, could cause all these situations. Only Athena herself could easily turn Athens into a hell on earth.

Suren was originally wondering why Athena was in charge of Athens, but Atalanta said that Athens was in a bad state and many accidents had happened. But now he understood.

Atalanta walked out of the forest where Surron was born. It was because she hid here that she was not turned into a soul by Athena's magic.

"Sullun, you are late. Just one day ago, the goddess Athena launched the Great Mystery and transformed all the people in the city into the Philosopher's Stone, and used it to feed Guigantes."

"I don't know why Athena did this, but I think it's probably because of you, right?"

Atalanta leaned against the tree trunk exhausted and said helplessly: "Sullen, I don't know what you want to do. I'm just a little cat and I can't stop you. I don't know since when your world has completely changed into something I can't understand."

"I love you, so I chase you, and for that I almost lose sight of myself."

"Now, I feel a little tired, Suerlun. If you really decide to destroy Greece, please kill me first. Kill me when I don't know anything. Just regard it as the friendship between you and me."

"Keep the last remaining beauty of you in my heart..."

Surlun closed his eyes slightly, and said with difficulty: "Ta meow... Atalanta, whether you believe it or not, I want to say that this is not what I want to see, and this is not what I want to do."

"Really?" Atalanta smiled sarcastically. "You can turn Athens into this state even if you don't want to. Surren, Surren...you are such a selfish bastard."

"..."

Surlun stopped making excuses and wanted to find Athena to get things clear.

Athena was very easy to find; she never left the library.

When Suren stepped into the library, Athena was discussing something with Hades and Hestia.

"The magic circle drawn in Sparta can have a larger range. Sparta has a larger rural population, so there may be blind spots."

"As for Guigantes, Sparta's population has been declining in recent years. I think it will be enough to put one to fill the gap."

"Athena, I'm back and I want to talk to you."

Surren interrupted all this.

Athena looked at Surren and said to Hades and Hestia, "Surren has something to talk to me about. I'll talk to you later."

The two gods also left, but before leaving, Hestia took a deep look at Surren. She sighed faintly, walked in front of Surren, stretched out her little hand and touched his cheek, and said, "You've lost weight."

"Don't think too much. Come to my place for dinner when you have time. You know, there is always a place for you at my place."

"Why are you doing this, Athena?"

Suerlun asked calmly: "What do you want to do?"

"Help you achieve your ideal." Athena's eyes flashed with a hint of depth: "After my calculations, I have found an optimal solution that is almost achievable."

"First, release Guigantes and use a method to bring it to its strongest state to threaten Gaia. If we end the Age of Gods, we will be unable to fight against this monster that only the Age of Gods can fight."

"It's 'anchor'."

"Then materialize the soul that has lost its body. Suerlun, you are really a genius. The magic you proposed is simply a stroke of genius. The people of the Age of Gods do not have true death. The soul can also live, even eternally."

Athena exclaimed: "What a genius idea, so I improved it a little bit."

"Materializing souls is a rule that is nailed to the paper of the Age of Gods. If the Age of Gods ends, all humans will die. This is not in the interests of the Alaya-vijnana, so it will also prevent it."

"This is not the Age of Gods..." Suerlun shook his head bitterly: "This is not what I want."

"I know. I know you won't like humans after their souls materialize."

Athena said gently: "So I have preserved Crete. All the survivors of the city-states can go to Crete to live and reproduce, and you will also have the humans you want."

"No, I just want to know why you do this?" Suren was puzzled. This was totally unlike the image of Athena in his mind. Why would Athena become so... inhumane?
"Because this is what you want."

Athena repeated again: "Sullen, you are different. The gods only favor you. Whatever you want to do, the gods will grant you tolerance."

"According to my calculations, this is the best solution for both worlds."

Athena at this moment was filled with an uncomfortable mechanical feeling, which also made Surren's memories that he was about to forget come flooding back to his mind.

Yes, Athena is the mechanical god who has been reincarnated. Even though her emotions have become much richer after her reincarnation, she still has an obvious mechanical feeling in many cases. Even Jason has said this a long time ago.

But Surlun never felt it, because the gods had left all their last humanity to Surlun.

Now that Surlun has claimed that he will give up everything in order to retain the Age of Gods, Athena will naturally help him, even if it means coming up with a plan of cannibalism.

"..."

After a long silence, Surren slowly leaned against the pillar and said, "Stop, Athena."

"Stop?" Athena asked back: "Sullen, isn't this your wish?"

"I was wrong. I have been doing something wrong all along."

Surren smiled bitterly and said, "I was like an innocent child, craving impossible things from inhuman things. How could I not pay a price?"

Perhaps, the greatest kindness that things other than humans can show to humans is to stay away from them.

"I already have an optimal solution, and I need to make up for my mistake."

Surren hugged Athena in the end and said gently, "Wait for me to come back, goddess."

"I still appreciate everything you did for me, even if it was wrong."

Athena represents only his crazy side.

If Athena had not appeared and interrupted Suren's stubbornness, and if Atalanta's tearful accusation had not allowed Suren to regain his original intention, he might have really done exactly the same thing as Athena does now, just to try in vain to retain the Age of Gods.

The Age of Gods cannot be saved; it will surely come to an end.

But this is limited to Type-Moon.

Suerlun knew that he was not without any solution.

Simulator, a truly universal wish-making machine, a simulator that can accomplish all miracles.

As long as Surlun ends the simulation, this moment can be temporarily sealed, and there will definitely be a way to solve it in the future.

The only way to seal this moment is to end his life.

Suren began to forcibly activate the unfinished fifth method in order to turn back time, allowing the entire Athens to flow backwards, back to that complete and beautiful moment.

This is not impossible. His five magics are almost complete, and all that is left is to connect to the source.

Therefore, in order to achieve this, apart from the root, there is no essential difference between Surlun and the magician.

Suren burned himself and directly generated a huge amount of magic power. Time began to flow backwards, the city-state of Athens was restored, and Suren killed all the Guigantes, completing all the plots envisioned by fate.

"I am the last of the Age of Gods. After me, the Age of Gods will end."

"I am the true anchor of the Age of Gods. I will return, and when I return, I will be the golden Greece that will reside here forever!"

"Gods, please believe me, I will come back one day."

"Finally, Hercules, I leave all this to you!"

At this point, the myth of Surlun ended. Before he disappeared, he made his final declaration to heaven and earth, which was heard and remembered by everyone.

The gods remained silent, but they all chose to believe.

"My darling who creates miracles, have you not given up yet?"

"Yeah, how could someone like you give up so easily?"

"I'm really looking forward to meeting you next time..."

God is immortal. Even at the end of the Age of Gods, God has merely come from Earth to the outer world and can continue to observe the human world.

The gods were also looking forward to what Surlun said.

Finally, all the goddesses who were connected with Surren, Athena, Hestia, Artemis...

What the attitudes of these goddesses are will have to be left for later.
