I'm in Type-Moon, how can I let you bully me?

"As you told me, although Zeus loves humans in this way, it also deprives humans of their future, doesn't it?"

Chiron's expression became serious, and he spoke his inner thoughts in an unprecedented manner.

"In such a future, yesterday and today are the same, today and tomorrow are the same, like a pool of stagnant water, without a single ripple. Humanity has lost its future. Rather than living happily and carefree as human beings, it's better to say that we are living like animals pampered by Zeus."

"but......"

Chiron's eyes sharpened as he remembered what Russell had just said.

"Before you said you didn't want to become the King of Gods, I was just encouraging you as a teacher and friend. But after that, I felt that perhaps you could really defeat Zeus."

As a human being.

Russell's tone remained unchanged throughout. His gaze was gentle yet contained an unshakable determination. He whispered, "I know I will defeat the Great Father God as a human. No matter what I do, victory is something I must achieve."

"That's good..."

A smile also appeared on Chiron's face. His originally cold and hard face now had a warmth like a spring breeze.

"From the bottom of my heart, I love the imperfect human beings who struggle to move forward despite their imperfections. That is the attitude that humans should have. Humanity without the attitude of moving forward has no future."

"Now, I also believe from the bottom of my heart that Sisyphus, with such a will, is capable of overcoming everything."

Do you love imperfect humans from the bottom of your heart and struggle to move forward despite being imperfect?

He probably understood why Chiron would be the first to find him when the Greek Trial began.

I also understand why he is Sisyphus in the Greek trial.

Because, in stark contrast to Zeus's view of "treating humans as reeds that only need to be obedient", Chiron's will has always been "even if humans are imperfect, they will rely on their own strength to move forward no matter what."

Because the story of Sisyphus is the story of imperfect humans pushing a boulder upward in a seemingly futile and absurd manner.

Looking at Chiron's departing back, Russell whispered the secret words.

“I am the one who pushes the boulder to the top of the mountain, and I am the one who pushes the gears to heaven.”

And between the beginning and the end of pushing the boulder to roll, that is, between the starting circle and the final circle of pushing the gear to turn, is the so-called historical transition period.

Therefore, in Mesopotamia, he was the king who started the farewell between gods and humans and the beginning of the decline of the Age of Gods.

When he was in Greece, he was also a hero who was going to stop Zeus and take back the future of the world and mankind.

Let the gears of history start turning again, and use it to guide the direction, become a turning point, and the beginning of change.

"Isn't that what a savior is?"

......

Chiron's actions were quick and the results were exceptionally good.

Many city-states made promises when facing Chiron that they would remain inactive even if ordered by the Great Father.

It's just that I can't resist it, so I procrastinate and do things perfunctorily.

This is also a very normal thing. After all, his original network and fame are already spread throughout Greece.

Chiron, who had learned medicine and music from the sun god Apollo and hunting from the goddess Artemis, would never be at a disadvantage in any challenge or battle.

His reputation as a virtuous man spread far and wide, and even during this journey, he attracted countless disciples to seek his advice.

After hearing this, many of the heroes who had been on the Argo set out for Corinth.

It can be said that after this, Russell's worries about the war have been eliminated.

But on the other hand, I worry...

It seems impossible to face it.

He looked at the quiet temple and palace and sighed.

"Are you worried about Ata and the others?"

Artemis suddenly flashed and appeared behind Russell, wrapped her arms around Russell's neck, and spoke softly.

"..." Russell was speechless. "You really change every day, Artemis."

"It's because the program is too confusing now!"

Artemis switches back and forth between sweetness, indifference, possessiveness, obedience, and other states during this period.

But at this moment, there was a smile on her face.

"I'm so glad you found a place for Apollo and I to hide."

There are actually such guys on the moon.

Obviously, he has been defeated...

I totally don't understand.

Yes, now Artemis and Apollo's true form of the Mecha-God is hiding on the back of the moon.

To say that they were hiding might not be accurate.

Because Zeus knew about this, but was afraid of the guy on the moon, so he chose not to take action. Instead, he wanted to make Artemis and Apollo submit by secretly modifying the program.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that either."

Russell's tone was also a little strange.

After various timelines were mixed together, only the "sacred timeline" dominated by him remained, and all kinds of monsters and demons came out.

Artemis didn't dwell on this point too much, after all, she had discussed this many times during this period, but asked back.

"What I didn't expect was that with your ability, you could actually make that Atalanta kid so angry."

80. Things I don’t want to happen again (3/18)

"Is it that obvious?"

The question is, what kind of reason would make Medea, Medusa, and Atalanta, women with different personalities and different attitudes towards Russell, angry at the same time?

Russell asked somewhat awkwardly, but he actually knew what was going on.

Artemis nodded seriously, and her slightly childish face now displayed the nobility that a goddess should have.

"Have!"

"It's so obvious that you want to face Han alone!!!"

Artemis puffed her cheeks and said with great dissatisfaction.

"Ever since that day, you haven't been shy about telling others about Zeus, but you've never told that child Atalanta, or those... in short, you haven't told them."

It may be because you don't want to make people worry, or because you are confident that you will succeed.

When communicating with people you care about, you avoid talking about this topic.

"To ordinary people, it would be a sign of distrust, right? However, your usual behavior doesn't seem like that. So, isn't that why Ata is so confused and prays to me every night?"

Artemis said this, with a look of confusion in her eyes.

"It's really strange. Logically speaking, there are only two possible outcomes."

After victory, live according to your own will.

After his failure, he was trapped in Olympus, living by the will of Zeus.

Either way, life can be preserved.

Including myself, only the data on the "human nature" such as the divine body will be erased, but the life of the ship itself will be continued.

As for Zeus, even if Atalanta's children failed, they could still keep their lives as long as they behaved like reeds.

Why......

Why did Sisyphus give her the feeling that they would eventually be separated?

Even if the outcome is difficult to determine and the two sides are evenly matched, and the only option is to destroy each other with all their might, there are still ways to resurrect.

Demeter has the power of resurrection. Although those who were crushed by Zeus's thunderbolt cannot be resurrected, there are more than one means.

Sisyphus gave her the feeling that they were destined to be separated in the future.

How could such a thing happen!

"So, why don't you tell Ata and the others about this?"

"Don't they already know?"

Russell felt a headache when he saw the angry Artemis.

Artemis's face turned cold. She grabbed Russell's arms, shaking them while shouting, "That's completely different! What's wrong with you? Hearing about this from someone else is different from telling them in person! I don't believe you don't understand this kind of thing. Even I found it in the database!"

"I understand. I'll go talk to them."

There is no use in avoiding it, but when separation is approaching, one still cannot help wanting to avoid it, as if in this way, it will not cause harm to others when separation really happens.

but......

Sure enough, I still have to face it.

I guess you've been complaining a lot in your heart these days, right?

Looking at Artemis who was smiling again, Russell interrupted again: "But, Artemis, haven't you changed a lot? In the past, maybe you would just refuse others from approaching me. Never..."

Never, ever, complained to me about another girl.

Even Atalanta, who was raised by her.

"Humph......"

There was a hint of helplessness in Artemis' eyes, but then she became full of energy.

"Because it's the result of calculation!"

In fact, this is not the case.

Artemis did not take this complex and confusing emotion, which others considered to be "love", into consideration, but experienced it from her own human side.

On this human side, new emotions such as jealousy, possessiveness, joy, and shyness emerged in her heart, but in the end, only one thing remained -

Before the final battle, leave behind beautiful memories of this relationship.

Only good memories left.

There are no more quarrels, no more conflicts, only the beauty that makes the corners of your mouth curl up when you recall it.

Then, this precious memory is saved and sealed forever in the core of the database.

At least that was the case before the final battle. She didn't want to be affected by mixed emotions before something like this.

Therefore, even if she was jealous, she could suppress the bitterness in her heart.

And after the final battle, if Sisyphus wins...

At that time, we will see how capable each of them is!

And if Sisyphus fails, and her humanity is also erased...

"My dear, even if my humanity is erased after failure, you will awaken it again with love, right?"

"It won't fail."

Looking into Artemis's bright eyes, Russell promised seriously.

as well as......

Before communicating with the upset women, Russell tentatively asked, "Correspondingly, if I vanish from this world after defeating Zeus, will you also..."

Russell was interrupted by Artemis before he could finish his words.

New drops of water fell on his neck.

Then, other drops of water hung at the corners of his mouth.

"Artemis..."

Russell, realizing what was happening, gently lifted Artemis's face that was buried in his neck and wiped away the river of tears that were flowing on the face of the Moon Goddess for the first time in countless years.

"This kind of thing will never happen."

The goddess's low voice revealed a stubbornness and determination that was hard to ignore.

This is what he was worried about...
