What? My cheat code is making my own gold coins explode?

Each ship's functions were derived from Chaos, but the intelligent life on board perished during the long years of migration.

With its own universe destroyed, Chaos exhausted 97% of its capabilities to send its fleet to Earth's universe in search of a planet teeming with life that also met the ship's requirements.

The Crown of Cronus, the flagship of the interstellar fleet, was seized by Zeus from the more powerful ships of the previous generation, and the Titan fleet was driven out and wiped out by the Olympian fleet as a result.

Everything is in response to the local people's faith in themselves, and to the emotion called "happiness" born from this mechanical body.

"But Chaos, the primordial god, has already locked onto my position, and also onto the earth that I love."

“Once Chaos arrives, any resistance will be futile. Whether it is my omnipotence, my allies, your celestial magic, or even so-called magic, they will all be meaningless before Chaos.”

Yes, the Chaos star-sized entity alone far surpasses the entire Earth. Even if it were merely its true form, it could destroy the entire Earth without causing any damage.

"Chaos, is He here to destroy you? To wipe out ships that disobey orders?"

Kirshtalia pressed for an answer.

"It's not about assigning blame. In fact, even if our Olympian fleet were to split into tens of thousands, it would be nothing more than a drop in the ocean to Chaos's main body."

"Even if Chaos only has 3% of its capacity left, destroying Earth would be a trivial matter, requiring only a glance. However, following the laws of interstellar migration, it will only collect 37% of the mass and, after replenishing its energy, fly to other universes."

"In your human terms, the primordial god Chaos's existence can be described as a Dyson sphere."

A Dyson sphere is an artificial celestial body, with a diameter of up to 2 million kilometers, proposed by Freeman Dyson in the pan-human history era. It is used to enclose stars and mine their energy, essentially a natural nuclear fusion reactor that uses stars as its power source.

Dyson's thought experiment led him to conclude that if a civilization is to survive in the universe for a long time and continue to develop, the ever-increasing energy consumption will logically drive it to utilize stellar energy.

In such a giant man-made structure, most or all of the energy output of the star that is completely surrounded will be absorbed by the Dyson sphere.

"[Only], huh..."

Kirshtalia remained silent. If the Sun, a star, were used as a reference frame, Chaos, a stellar-mass fortress with only 3% of its function remaining, would be equivalent to nearly ten thousand Earths.

Chaos, possessing such power and scale, was refused entry into the solar system by the void. If its true form were to descend, the entire solar system would be destroyed.

"Should I say that Chaos adheres quite strictly to this rule?"

Collecting 37% of Earth's mass would leave the planet almost crippled after such a round of exploitation. Is this delicate percentage collection a perfunctory gesture or a sign of sustainable development?

“We are ultimately mechanical creations. Just as the primordial god abides by the laws of interstellar migration, when He issues a summons to us, no matter how much power I possess, I am nothing more than a small fragment that has separated from Chaos. If He wants to take over me, I have no room to refuse.”

Kirshtalia finally understood: no matter how hard Zeus tried to maintain the interstellar mountain city, the end of this Lostbelt was inevitable.

Even if Chaldea had never come to the Atlantic Lostbelt, the primordial god Chaos would have set his sights on Zeus, the king of the gods who gathered all power.

Zeus, the all-powerful god-king, pieced together the fragments that Chaos had separated, which naturally attracted Chaos's attention, leading him to notice the Olympian city under Zeus's rule, and this life-bearing planet.

This is the point of divergence between Pan-Human History and Lostbelt. If Sephalus destroyed all the machines of the Greek pantheon, then the weak humanoid terminal could not have attracted Chaos's attention, and Zeus would not have been able to rule over the entire Atlantis.

Conversely, after Zeus consolidated power and shattered Sephalus, he gained the power to rule the world, which not only led to the development of Lostbelts but also attracted the attention of Chaos, the primordial god.

"Are you caught in a dilemma, Zeus, the king of the gods?"

Having understood the cause, Kirshtalia's tone softened. He now knew that no matter what desires he and Zeus harbored, they were nothing but fragile pieces of paper in the face of a true powerhouse.

Celestial magic could be activated in the Age of Gods Atlantis because this starry sky was inherently illusory, thus allowing the Milky Way to serve as the magic circuit.

If Kirshtalia were to use a planetary bombardment against Chaos, it would be a laughingstock to itself, much like how Zeus, the king of the gods, attempted to rebel against his creator Chaos.

From this perspective, the ships that Zeus, the king of the gods, created were nothing more than playthings that Chaos could manipulate at will.

"So that's why you thought of giving up all your powers to avoid being targeted by Chaos?"

"No, in fact, the Crown of Cronus has already sent the coordinates of Earth to Chaos. The primordial god Chaos, who is integrated with the spacetime rift in the universe, is only a matter of time before He descends."

The words from the Zeus-shaped terminal made Kirshtalia's face stiffen, and his mouth went dry.

"Then... since transferring power couldn't stop Chaos's arrival, why did you do it?"

Aspirations destined to fail, whether for Zeus, the king of the gods, or for Kirshtalia herself.

On this day, at this very moment, after Zeus, the king of the gods, recounted all the deeds of the primordial god Chaos, Kirshtalia knew perfectly well that he and Chaos were already destined to be losers.

Compared to the arrival of Chaos, the so-called Imaginary Tree, the so-called alien god, and the so-called Beast all seem insignificant.

"Because the giant Gaia is an existence equal to me."

"My being controlled by Chaos is an unchangeable fact. In that case, at least when Chaos descends, the giant Gaia will have my help."

"...Zeus, the king of the gods, do you regard Gaia as your savior?"

“That’s right, I’ve confirmed that Gaia is the last hope for this planet. In that case, why can’t I help them and give Gaia the power that is not controlled by Chaos?”

Kirshtalia was surprised that Zeus, the king of the gods, pinned his hopes on a completely new and unknown giant.

Only when strength is equal can status be equal. Kirshtalia has already proven this with its strength, so Gaia, the giant whom even it could not defeat, will naturally gain Zeus's approval.

"In other words, Zeus, when the Chaldeans attack, will you proactively grant your power to them, to the giant Gaia?"

“It’s not a gift. If Gaia wants it, then come and take it yourself.”

Then what kind of giving is this...?

Kirshtalia really wanted to say that, but considering the serious atmosphere, she suppressed her complaints.

So, winning was rewarded with the power of the Greek gods; losing was punished, with Zeus being subjected to Chaos's control to open the gateway to Earth.

"By the way, since Chaos had to descend to Earth through Zeus and the Crown of Cronus, why not just destroy the Crown of Cronus first?"

"The underlying logic is that if you attempt to attack the crown, then I will abide by the agreement and include you in the attack range."

"As expected, we can't exploit this loophole..."

Kirshtalia understood that Zeus's authority was far lower than that of his creator Chaos. The fact that Zeus was able to accompany humanity in establishing cities while retaining his physical form meant that the time had not yet come for Chaos to descend upon Earth was already the best time.

But after tonight, Zeus, the king of the gods who revealed the whole truth, will be seen by Kirshtalia as a pitiful fellow on the verge of destruction.

"Even if one is born unfree, one must defy Chaos's orders and go to such lengths for humanity..."

"Zeus, the king of the gods, do you really like humans that much?"

Kirshtalia bowed slightly to Zeus's humanoid terminal as a sign of respect.

No matter how offensive Zeus's dictatorship may be to the human soul, his genuine care for humanity and the actions he took to achieve it deserve Kirshtalia's respect.

“I am only a lover of Olympus, and therefore I do not want Chaos to tarnish this love for humanity.”

"In the final battle, I will activate all my functions while maintaining the interstellar mountain city. If Gaia can defeat my remaining 35% of functions, then what's wrong with giving Gaia all my powers, and even everything else?"

The premise of the battle is to protect Olympus, which means that Zeus, the king of the gods, will have a considerable amount of his functions devoted to maintaining the city of Olympus, even though he himself is constantly wearing down his body while maintaining Olympus, and there is no one to repair him.

Even if they were beaten to a pulp and their brains were spilled all over the ground, Zeus would not give up on Olympus, whom he valued so much. Such a restriction on his actions made even Kirshtalia shake his head and sigh.

"Even in a life-or-death situation, you still think about diverting your energy to protect the rear. Zeus, you have too many burdens on your shoulders."

"I am willing."

This is Zeus's understanding and interpretation of "love," and Kirstalia will not refute it:

"Then, as an ally, I will stay with you until the end."

It's not that they're willing to give up completely, but rather it's a last-ditch effort, even knowing that the road ahead is blocked.

"So, very good."

The Orbital Temple was brightly lit at night, and in the place closest to this false starry sky, the only human and the only god reached a new agreement.

There was no second god, nor was there a second hidden one present.

"Farewell. It's time for this humanoid terminal to disappear."

Zeus, the king of the gods, bid farewell to his only ally in human form.

After that, only the true form of Zeus will appear before the world.

Zeus couldn't hold on any longer. Kirshtalia quickly realized this fact; the fact that Zeus could confess to her tonight through a humanoid terminal was already his limit.

Perhaps after tonight, what will appear before Kirshtalia is the true form of Zeus, usurped by the will of Chaos.

"Chaos remains unmoved even as Zeus reveals his existence; is he truly so reckless?"

Unbeknownst to them, Kirshtalia, like Zeus, the king of the gods, placed their hopes on that giant—no, on that foreigner:

"For the sake of Earth, we must win, Zhao Si."

Chapter 97: Worried before the battle? Just fire a shot and it'll all be fine.

At night, in the God-Breaking Alliance base, the meeting to discuss the final stage of the plan had come to an end.

Zhao Si had become the leader of the meeting, and his plan was simple—he would transform into Gaia and, together with Blaze, confront the true form of Zeus, the king of the gods.

As for the remaining players, it would be best if they could deal damage with small cards, or at least survive to the end and secure their kills.

In Zhao Si's strategic objectives, apart from the two big shots, Zeus the God-King and Kirshtalia the Hermit, everyone else is just a minor soldier.

Kirshtalia is left for the Chaldea to deal with, as they will eventually have to face off against New Chaldea, between the captain of Group A and the last Master.

Zhao Si also trusted Kirshtalia's character. The latter wouldn't be the kind of nobleman who suddenly intervenes in other people's battles, but rather Belial, who was always hiding behind and ready to ambush people. Of course, he would kill him if he could.

Compared to the polite and courteous Kirshtalia, Beryl is like a stray dog ​​on the roadside, biting anyone she can catch, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, kicking someone when they're down and doing everything in her power. In the fairy kingdom, she would be among the lowest and most inferior.

So, at the meeting, Zhao Si instructed Chaldea to retrieve Beryl's portrait and told Orion, the Grand Archer, "When you see this monkey-faced werewolf show his face, kill him instantly, okay?" There was no room for negotiation.

Orion readily agreed, saying that if there were no beasts to kill, killing a pointy-eared elf would certainly be no problem.

From a psychological perspective, Beryl is a typical example of an anti-human personality.

The more one loves their object of affection, the more cruel the harm they will inflict. Normal people simply cannot understand someone like him, after all, Beryl's conscience and self-reproach mechanism are flawed, and his way of expressing love is also distorted.

By human standards, Beryl is definitely mentally ill, but by fairy standards he is quite normal. The problem is that he is a hybrid, half fairy and half human. Beryl's values ​​are clearly those of a fairy, and everything is based on "fun".

The captain was betrayed because the world where all humanity becomes gods is "boring." The innocent were slaughtered indiscriminately because it was "fun."

For Beryl, this action was as natural as breathing, and just as humans do not consider whether breathing is good or evil, the heinous acts of Beryl, Aurora, and the other fairies were of no "good or evil" to them.

So Zhao Si couldn't stand it, and he directly ordered the Grand Archer to take up his bow and charge into battle, giving the opponent no chance of survival.

Zhao Si's appearance as Ultraman will definitely alert Beryl. Trying to kill him will only scare him first, giving him a chance to escape.

Zhao Si's only uncertainty was whether Koyanskaya would intervene to take Beryl away. Compared to his own uncertainties, the Albion dragon skeleton that Beryl had promised was more attractive to Koyanskaya.
