[The war lasted for a long time, even a thousand years, and Athena, Ares and other mechas were shot down into the Oceanus Sea one after another. ]

[And Demeter was one of them. ]

[The golden sword Chrysaor that you hold is not an ordinary sword. 】

[That is the part of your body that is the basis for you to be recognized by Demeter. ]

【Yes. 】

[Just as Demeter said at the beginning.]

【You are originally their compatriot. 】

[And the compatibility between you and Athena did not come out of thin air. 】

【you--】

[It is the assistant of this interceptor starfighter, a targeted wingman named Pegasus. ]

[You were shot down into the Oceanus Sea earlier than Athena, and completed your own activation and transformation. ]

[The golden sword Chrysaor was created during this process, along with your transformation.]

[Then, by a coincidence that seemed like fate, you, who had not yet awakened, drifted along the uncertain ocean current to the front of Stheno.]

【That’s how everything connected.】

"..."

After learning all this, Ian felt his head buzzing.

He knew that there was no need for Demeter in front of him to make up stories to deceive him.

And more importantly—

All of this was completely consistent with the man's memory, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"how so……"

"You really can't accept it." Demeter reached out and gently stroked Ian's cheek.

It can be seen that she still cares very much about her companions.

"But it is true, Pegasus."

"You...are part of Athena, a fellow human being."

"..."

Ian gently moved Demeter's hand away from his face and apologized.

"I'm sorry, Demeter, please don't be so intimate with me."

"When Medusa finds out... she'll be very angry."

"Really?"

Demeter didn't mind Ian's request.

She withdrew her hand and continued to speak.

"No problem, if your partner minds, then I'll leave that behavior out of the equation."

"But if possible, can you promise me one thing?"

"what's up?"

"That is--"

Demeter looked up at the sky above her head, and the bright moonlight fell perfectly on her hands.

Touching all of this, the goddess from an unknown world whispered her wishes.

"Pegasus, come with me to restart all my compatriots."

"And then again—"

"Strike toward the sky."

477. The Only Possibility of Awakening God/Stheno's Determination (4k)

【This is an invitation to ascend from Demeter. 】

[She confessed everything to you, and expressed her wish to return to the heavens once again.]

"..."

Ian's gaze stayed on Demeter in front of him. Now that everything was explained clearly, his tone no longer contained any hostility.

"Restart the mechas on the seabed and return to the sky again?"

"Demeter, what are you planning to do?"

“Isn’t this easy to understand?”

The goddess with a mature charm held the light in her hand and looked at the man beside her.

"Of course, we will fight Zeus again."

"But--"

Ian frowned slightly.

"Didn't you say that He has completely lost control?"

"If that's the case—"

“What’s the point of going to see Him again?”

"Of course it does." Demeter's tone became serious. "Last time, we were totally unprepared, which led to the current situation."

"This time——"

"I will do my best to prepare my compatriots again. I think the result should be better than last time, right?"

"..."

Ian hesitated for a moment before responding again:

"Demeter, are you planning to take your compatriots to destroy Zeus?"

"Do not."

Demeter shook her head.

"There is absolutely no way we can destroy Him - this is something we inherently reject."

"And if we really want to gather an attack to completely destroy Him, I'm afraid we will also fall into a state of destruction."

"Destruction state?"

"Well, that's a state where all functions are completely shut down." Demeter explained, "Generally speaking, when it reaches this level, it can be said to be truly destroyed."

"I don't understand that now."

Ian's frown deepened.

"If you don't intend to destroy Zeus, then what's the point of facing him again?"

"Wake Him up."

Demeter clasped her hands together in front of her chest, as if praying sincerely.

"Let Him live once again as our leader."

"..."

[Demeter's expression is very serious.]

[That's the look where you would never doubt she was lying if you only took one look at her.]

【You realize that this may be one of the reasons why He arrived in Oceanus.】

[If you think about it this way——]

[Previously, Poseidon might have had the same idea as Demeter. ]

[It’s just that the first person He fell in love with at first sight was Medusa.]

[At the same time, because her own functions are not as good as Demeter's, she made wrong judgments. 】

Ian understood everything, but felt even more confused than when he didn't understand.

"Demeter, if that's the case, then you can actually do it without me, right?"

"No." Demeter shook her head, and then pointed to the golden sword Chrysaor stuck on the deck.

"I need you and this 'key'."

“This is our only chance to restart our fellow citizens.”

"..."

[You are in deep entanglement.]

[If everything Demeter said now is true, then you are very likely the only savior of this fleet. ]

【but--】

[Is it really necessary for you to take on this kind of thing? ]

[You are entangled and unable to make a decision. 】

[But at this moment, Stheno and Euryale appeared on the other side of the boat. ]

"..."

Demeter noticed the two sisters not far away. Although she was a little unhappy, she still spoke patiently:

"It seems——"

"It seems that the friend you know wants to talk to you about something."

"Think carefully about this, Pegasus."

"You... should understand how important your choice is to our compatriots."

After leaving behind some words that sounded like advice, Demeter quickly disappeared in front of Ian.

"..."

The man looked at the empty place, and the only thing he could do in response was to remain silent.

Stheno and Euryale didn't know what was going on. After seeing Demeter disappear, they quickly came over.

"Pegasus, what did you talk about with her?" the older sister with twin ponytails asked directly.

She still had some doubts about the goddess who called herself Demeter.

"Yes, I see you two have been at the bow for a long time." Yurielle continued, "Could it be that you have encountered some unsolvable problems again?"

"..."

Ian did not answer the two girls' questions immediately, but asked them back.

"Where is Medusa?"

"If you're asking that—"

Stheno pointed to the mansion that Demeter had moved up there. "The shock just now was too great. She's still packing up her things inside."

"Why? Do you want me to call Medusa over as well?"

"No." Ian shook his head.

"It's better if she's not here."

"..."

"..."

The two sisters looked at each other and their expressions became serious.

Because they knew that the man in front of them would never speak like this on a normal day.

Especially when it comes to Medusa, it is even more impossible to show the tone that it would be better if she were not there.
