Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 571 Let's charge forward one more time!

In the mysterious space filled with a light gray-white mist, an ever-increasing number of madmen were scattered and going insane, while more and more proverbs were carved on the stone tablet in the center as time passed.

Aside from the ever-growing number of Lukes and the increasing traces of change, everything here seems to never end, like a dream that is effortless yet eternal.

Returning to this reassuring place, Subarashiki Riku opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping from left to right as he searched for his target.

"Just wait a moment."

Unable to find the faded Luke, Su Qing Luke shrugged indifferently, watching the groups of Luke gathered together, and walked towards his fellow recruits from the same batch.

Luke, a doll from Greek mythology, was forged by Hephaestus, the god of forging, and imbued with poisonous flames and negative emotions by Typhon, the king of all demons. He is a double agent burdened with a dual mission.

"Don't use such a strange name to describe me, 'Puppet Luke'... it sounds like a firearm!" Puppet Luke corrected him, quite displeased.

Su Qing Lu Ke replied sincerely, "I mainly feel that your background is very similar to that of Pandora, the cursed doll in Greek mythology."

Both were created by Hephaestus, the god of forging, both were "blessed," and both carried a certain mission. Except for their gender and the fact that the "blessing" came from Typhon rather than the gods, and that their mission was not to open the box and unleash disaster but to fulfill Hephaestus's selfish desires, they were practically gender-swapped versions of Pandora.

"Times have changed, please call me God King Luke."

In Greek mythology, Luke spoke with a hint of smugness, spreading his arms wide to show off.

"Look at me, don't I look cool!"

At this moment, God King Luke was dressed in majestic and magnificent attire, with golden arm armor on his arms, a crown studded with jewels on his head, and a ball of irregular lightning in his hand that exuded a terrifying power that could annihilate everything. The leaping blue arcs of light made him look extremely majestic.

The only drawback is that the outfit is made of very little fabric, barely covering the key areas, with the full chest muscles, abdominal muscles, and two strong legs completely exposed.

Considering that in Greek mythology, the king of the gods is a symbol of patriarchy, sex, and power, it not only doesn't feel out of place but also reveals a wild and unrestrained charm.

Su Qing Lu Ke stroked his chin. It was indeed hard to lie and say that the other person's outfit wasn't handsome, but he still couldn't help but complain:
"He's handsome, but a bit too flashy. He looks like a peacock displaying its feathers during courtship. Is he dressed like that to sell his body?"

"A god-king who doesn't sell his body isn't a good god-king. Why was Uranus able to hook up with Gaia and become the first god-king? Why was Zeus able to win the Titans' War and become the third god-king? Wasn't it all because he sold his body?"

God King Luke answered in this way, raising his right hand and gently striking Su Qing Luke, as memories flooded back.

After awakening his cheat ability, Luke didn't rush to conquer Mount Olympus. Apart from secretly beating up Poseidon and stealing his trident, he spent the rest of his time happily doing the tasks that were originally on his shoulders, just like progressing through the main storyline in a game.

He first mocked Artemis, constantly belittling her hunting skills, which provoked the hunting goddess to the point of anger and challenge her to a competition. In the hunting competition, he defeated her time and time again, making the moon goddess think of him constantly. In a hunting competition that was more intense than ever before, he successfully took the first blood.

Then, he forged agricultural tools that were ahead of their time, attracting the goddess of agriculture, Demeter, to descend. He then presented her with a series of exotic plant seeds from various worlds. Since Demeter didn't know how to care for these crops, she could only ask him for help. Gradually, he built a closer relationship with her, and the goddess of agriculture gradually fell for him.

Athena used a similar approach. The diverse and wondrous knowledge and skills from different worlds were incredibly attractive to this goddess of wisdom. The two often talked late into the night by candlelight, discussing everything from astronomy and geography to the vast universe. Gradually, they grew closer, became intimate friends, and developed deep affection for each other.

However, the goddess of wisdom is quite difficult to deal with. She strictly maintains the distance of a close friendship, and even when Luke uses the example of Artemis to persuade her not to adhere to the oath of "virginity," it is to no avail.

Fortunately, Lu Ke changed his approach, subtly altered the concept, and took advantage of Athena's desire to monopolize his thoughts by making a bet with her that would be absolutely impossible in the eyes of a normal god.

That is, to become the fourth generation God King!
Zeus's power was overwhelmingly strong. After devouring Metis, the first goddess of wisdom and Athena's mother, he became even more intelligent and possessed an unusually high level of destiny.

Even though the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia disapproved of him and made a prophecy, declaring that his child with Metis would surpass him if it was a boy and be equal to him if it was a girl, it still only produced Athena, a goddess whose strength was close to his.

Athena confidently agreed to the bet, only to find the very next day in the throne room of the gods that she was being watched by a wicked man with a smile.

As for Zeus, he was beaten up for no reason and before he could react, his divine power was sealed and he was thrown to the mortal realm. He watched helplessly as someone else sat on his throne and Mount Olympus was transformed into someone else's shape.

From then on, Luke exceeded Hephaestus's expectations, "to sleep with all the beautiful goddesses on Mount Olympus, and to sleep with Athena twice more."

What? You're asking about Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love?

She didn't need any strategy. After rejecting Zeus's advances and being married off to Hephaestus by the enraged king of the gods, she was extremely dissatisfied. She originally wanted to cause trouble everywhere to get revenge on Zeus and the disdainful Hephaestus, but she ended up hooking up with Luke, whose cheat ability hadn't yet awakened, thus changing her original fate and becoming a private car early on.

"Your experience is truly... rich."

Su Qing Lu Ke clicked his tongue, "It's just a bit of a pity that he never got to be the Sun God."

God King Lu Ke shook his head with regret: "There's nothing I can do. I'm a kind-hearted person with high moral character and a strong moral compass. I simply don't have the talent to be a nemesis of justice!"

Subarashiki Luke: "..."

The only similarity is in the shamelessness aspect.

"What are you talking about?"

The elf Luke walked slowly over, interrupting their conversation, holding a boy who looked about ten years old and resembled him by about seven or eight points.

The boy was exquisitely handsome, with bright golden vertical pupils and a pair of beautiful golden horns on his head, making him look quite adorable overall.

God-King Luke: "What the hell? Space can now materialize living things? Or is it a new Luke?"

Subarashiki Luke: "Is this your child?"

The elf Luke gave a wry smile and gently shook his head: "Didn't you notice that something is missing from the space today?"

Su Qing Luke looked around with a puzzled expression. About a dozen Lukes were watching anime by a popular anime creator, while others were chatting in small groups, and a few were playing Texas Hold'em, Gwent, Hearthstone, etc.

It seems like nothing is missing, but there is definitely a sense of emptiness.

Su Qing Lu Ke suddenly looked up and realized that the Lanlong, which had always seemed like a background figure or a mascot, had disappeared from the air and was now floating in circles.

He stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the boy: "Then this is..."

The little boy raised a scissor sign, grinned at the two Lukes, and spoke in a childish voice.

"It feels quite novel to use this form for the first time. I am Lanlong Luke. Because I am only about ten years old, the shell I made is a bit small."

Su Qing Lu Ke stroked his chin and gave a thumbs up: "Not bad, quite cute. You've fixed the bug that there was no shota in Lu Ke."

Although the original Grim Reaper Luke had not fully grown up and always maintained three sizes—small, medium, and large—along with Naruto Luke and One Piece Luke, he had eventually grown into a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old and could no longer be called a shota.

"Because I'm feeling a bit bored, I plan to go to Yukumo Village to see if there are any other dragons like me nearby. If I can't find any other Storm Dragons, I'll probably become a hunter and go to the border to see those forbidden monsters, just to change things up."

When Lanlong Luke, who looked like a child, spoke, he had a pure and uncorrupted spirit. Although he shared the memories, he stayed in the space and circled around. Those memories were just a pastime to pass the time and were glossed over.

Su Qing Luke's eyes lit up: "'Monster' becomes hunter hunting 'monster'? That sounds interesting." "That's right, so before setting off, Lanlong Luke wanted to say goodbye to the other Lukes," Elf Luke patted the head of the child in his arms, "For a while afterward, there might not be any Lanlongs spinning around in the space."

Lanlong Luke smiled and added, "I'll come back regularly like the other Lukes, but if the world I'm in is really interesting, I might not be able to stay here all the time."

God King Lu Ke stroked the pair of beautiful dragon horns, and said with emotion, "Without the Lanlong as an ornament in this space, should I say 'my youth is over'?"

Upon hearing this, the elf Luke lowered his eyes and smiled, "Like flowing water, yet also like stillness, life changes and stagnates. That's just how life is. It's good to get used to things leaving, and besides, Lanlong Luke will come back."

"Because I'm Luke too."

Lanlong Luke smiled at the two of them, his eyes sparkling, his childish voice filled with anticipation for his new life.

"You two are among the most recent Luke arrivals. Now that the farewell ceremony is complete, I'll be leaving for a while."

"Goodbye~"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lanlong Luke's figure faded and disappeared, leaving this space.

"..."

After a brief silence, the elf Luke lowered his arm from his chest and looked calmly at Su Qing Luke with his brown eyes.

"You've discovered 'Cosmic Wonders Corporation' and are planning to consult with Luke the Faded One?"

Su Qing Lu Ke nodded: "Yeah, I remember he's getting a little tired of staying in Stoneville City, it's time for him to get moving again."

"With Luke's current power, exploring that world shouldn't be too dangerous, but the name 'Cosmic Wonders Corporation' always reminds me of another Luke."

The elf Luke looked thoughtful, and after a moment of contemplation, he walked towards the crowd of people who were watching the anime in a circle not far away.

Upon hearing the footsteps, the Lukes initially turned around indifferently, but upon discovering that it was the elf Luke approaching, they all let out a series of screams, displaying an even more repulsive expression than the person in question.

"Huh? Is the elf Luke finally going to betray us too!?"

"Oh no, the only pure love fan is about to succumb to the charm of this hentai master!"

"Dude, please, if you start watching the series too, Luke and his ilk will completely lose faith in love!"

"Croak~ Don't come any closer! You're the moral and ethical benchmark for Lu Ke in this space, you absolutely can't let yourself be defeated by Se Se's desires! These low-level interests aren't for your wits!"

Elf Luke: (▼へ▼メ)

Luke: (Ｔ▽Ｔ)
Damn it, what a bunch of idiots!
Luke, who had originally only intended to find someone, suddenly felt angry. He pursed his lips and walked up to Luke in the center, staring intently at him.

Li Fanlu seemed a little frightened, revealing a rather obedient, innocent smile that did not at all suggest that he could surpass the "Marine War" talent monster, and his expression was even a little shy.

"Uh, the latest anime is a Western fantasy series called 'The Female Dragon Demon King and the Princess of Seven Kingdoms,' do you... want to watch it?"

Elf Luke: ...

"The show was pretty great."

┬─┬ノ('-'ノ)
┴─┴︵╰（‵□′╰）

Snapped!
In front of the other Lukes, Elf Luke knocked the biggest scourge of the space, Hentai Luke, to the ground, grabbed a less noticeable Luke who looked dejected, and left.

"This... could it be considered, in a sense, a pure love god of war beating up a minotaur?" one of Luke whispered.

"It wasn't a brutal beating."

"Not a minotaur."

“Not really.”

Amidst the chattering and murmuring, someone started clapping first, and then the applause spread out in waves. In the end, even the hapless Luke, who had been thrown to the ground, looked at the elf Luke's back with admiration and clapped.

…………

"Um, is there something you need? I want to watch some anime..."

Luke, who had been pulled out, shrank his neck and cautiously spoke to the elf Luke.

The elf Luke frowned: "I've already shared your hand, and you still don't know why I'm looking for you?"

"Although Luke the Faded One explored the strangeness of his world, the first thing that came to mind when I heard 'Cosmic Wonders Games Corporation' was your situation."

"Whether it's the naming or the eerie feeling, both are the same."

From a strange world, Luke was imprisoned for more than ten years by a company called "Future Technology". He successfully escaped and launched a revenge campaign, but was blocked by a world reset and a mysterious force at a higher level. In the end, Luke, who was ridiculed by the other Lukes as "World Destroyer", showed a somewhat conflicted expression.

"I..."

The elf Luke interrupted him: "Are you still thinking about destroying the world?"

"No, thinking back on it carefully, I struggled to even defeat a single leader of an organization back then, and almost fell into a hopeless situation. I really couldn't destroy the world."

There were so many strange things in that world. Lu Ke had only scratched the surface of it. He was actually a bit overconfident at the time. If the other side had been given time to prepare... it would have been very dangerous.

Strange Luke relaxed a little and licked his lips. "After calming down, it's definitely better to have the culprits and the debtors accounted for. So if we do it again, we can just wipe out all the sealed artifact organizations and then swallow that world to become the ruler."

"I want to create a normal world, without any messy sealed artifacts!"

…………

Luke, the one who faded, slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was a face that was almost touching his, and eyes that were so hot they could melt a person.

"What the hell?!"

He took a step back in fright and saw the strange Luke staring intently at him, reaching out his hand.

"Lead us one more time, King of Elden!"
