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

"There's no rush..."

“This is urgent!!!”

"?"

Russell narrowed his eyes into slits and looked at Artemis who suddenly became shy in front of him, wondering.

"It was you who brought it up, Artemis. Why do you seem scared now?"

Who's scared?!

Artemis wanted to say this in a firm rebuttal, but found that she really couldn't open her mouth.

hateful!

Why am I so useless, and why is Sisyphus so brave?

I'm happy to be able to try 7,654 different ways of playing, but...

Artemis couldn't help but feel conflicted.

Russell already understood the current situation and felt a little regretful.

It seems that he transformed himself into a real brother and scared Artemis, the talkative sister.

You were so open and confident before, saying that there was enough fun to play for a lifetime, but when the time came, you backed off?

......

"Leave here. The battlefield ahead is not one you can participate in."

Russell began to spread this story a long time ago, when Zeus first came to Corinth.

At that time, many people had already chosen to leave.

After all, not everyone has the courage to face the long-famous God King.

This is not a battlefield that ordinary people can participate in. Even so-called heroes can rarely participate.

In these remaining three days, it is reasonable to want others to leave this invisible island.

Even among the heroes who came here because of the reputation, some of them should leave.

This should be common sense.

but......

During these last three days, no one chose to leave.

When they knew that the enemy was the Great Father God, almost everyone fell into an emotion called fear.

Few people can overcome this fear, but many people can endure it and still stay on this island.

The reasons are varied.

The person who stayed behind because his lover was on the side of the war, that is, Russell.

Just because they disrespected the gods, tragedy occurred and only women were left to survive in the country.

Heartbroken by the tragedy caused by the gods, he was left behind after learning that it was Zeus who was manipulating everything.

Unable to abandon the ideal country they had created together over the years, they were willing to stay even if it meant death.

Knowing that if Zeus wins, humanity will be trapped in a stagnant state, those who stay behind...

Therefore, under the influence of various reasons, those who stayed behind, whether they were heroes, witches, goddesses, mechas, monsters, or ordinary people, stood beside Russell at this time.

These people, under what Zeus called "the power of God" and "the baptism of heavy ions", might even be unable to stand normally.

However, this glory, this honor that belongs to everyone on this island, will not be diminished because of this.

Russell knew this very well, so he did not force everyone to leave.

Because this is an insult to the will of these people.

This is a decision made by these people with their own will. If even this decision is tarnished and forcibly changed, then what is the difference between this and Zeus treating people as reeds that only need to bend down and praise.

Therefore, Russell made his final declaration, which was also a praise of this will.

"This is declared—to all the people of Corinth."

"The enemy is Zeus, the master who unites the power of the Mechasins. He is the Great Father God, known for his omniscience, who rules Olympus with might and proclaims his authority with thunder."

He clearly didn't raise his voice deliberately, and even spoke in a calm tone, but it still reached everyone's ears.

"Before the war began, I wanted you to leave many times. After Zeus' arrival, this land was only ablaze with war. Destruction awaited this city. I even wanted you to seek refuge in some underworld."

"But you chose to stay."

The number of people still left on this island was considered large even among all the city-states in Greece.

“Even if the enemy we face is the omniscient and almighty Father God, we can endure this fear that transcends death.”

"There is no doubt that Corinth is a happy city. Its brief glory will be passed down along with the glory of your will."

Even if the city itself is destroyed, it will not affect the spread of this glory.

Because this is a story that can continue, it does not need to be carried out in a physical form.

This unwillingness to yield attitude towards life is a decision made jointly by all people and will be forever engraved in the world's memory.

"Even if I die in the end, leaving no descendants, this glory will become a bond of inheritance, remaining in the hearts of others in the form of will. This inheritance is not based on blood, but on intellect and wisdom, something that the Great Father God said the reed would never have."

"We will now deny the omniscient and omnipotent Great Father God and begin our final farewell battle! This will bring an end to the old era ruled by the Great Father God and herald the arrival of a new era."

"I won't keep this honor to myself."

This is the end.

As everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts, three days passed by like flowing water.

In the distance, there was a dull thunder.

Like the muffled roar of an underground monster, like the roar of an ancient Titan.

The atmosphere trembles.

I was panicking inside.

The humid and sultry air currents brought by thunderclouds and sea breeze are like solidified colloid, making people unable to move as if they were trapped in a swamp.

This natural disaster, considered the most irresistible one in nature, also awakened the most primitive fear engraved in the human body.

Under the pitch-black sky, facing the might of natural disasters, humans unconsciously felt as small as ants.

Even before choosing not to leave, I had already decided to carry out this will.

However, at this moment, one will still fall into the abyss of despair.

"I am Zeus, the almighty god who rules over all things from the sky."

"You shall bow down like reeds and weep for your disobedience to me. And I will absolve you of your sins."

"Speak, praise the Father, and kneel before the throne."

104. The birth of courage is inevitable

Black clouds are threatening to destroy the city.

What echoes in the dark, inky sky, which requires our gaze to reach, is the declaration of God the Father.

This declaration not only demonstrates majesty, but also the mercy that belongs only to God the Father.

As long as one obeys the will of heaven and recites words of praise, one can be forgiven and survive the thunder.

This was also the last chance given by Zeus, who had already thought he had given many chances.

In his heart he coldly decided to impose the appropriate sanctions, believing that the time had come to wipe out all those who disobeyed.

Erased from the world, erased from records, and even erased from history.

Wipe out all traces of life, epics, great achievements, and everything else.

Only a blue and pure world is left for you to enjoy.

He believed that in this blue and pure world, all he needed were obedient humans like reeds, and all he needed was their faith and respect for him.

In return, he will also give humans the greatest protection.

Keep everyone away from the suffering of a short life, the torture of pain and disease, and the harm caused by natural disasters and man-made calamities.

But before that, Zeus' eyes were always fixed on a figure.

Originally, he thought that the man named Sisyphus in his eyes was just a restraining force, a guy born by this planet in order to regain control of the future, carrying the opportunity named "Polos" and the divinity of the god of creation.

In short, he is a tool.

But later, because of what the person in front of him said about Demeter, he changed his mind.

"It's actually a thinking reed, yet it's still shallow."

The resounding thunder revealed its true form at this moment.

A cold look flashed in Zeus' eyes.

Yes, that's right. If he were to rule and determine the future, perhaps what you said, "Human development would stagnate after extreme expansion, and fall into a stagnant state where yesterday is no different from today, and today is no different from tomorrow."

but......

So what?

If he were not the one ruling, could humanity truly reach a more advanced future than the one that expanded under his rule and then stagnated?

One is a future in which civilization expands to a high level, and through his rule, the world is governed by machines, and the suffering of short life, pain and disease, and the harm caused by natural and man-made disasters all disappear.

This is a certain future that will surely arrive.

The other is an uncertain future where we have no idea what will happen or to what extent it will develop.

You can clearly choose a certain future to enjoy yourself, but you just have to give up your so-called freedom and thinking and spend your life like this.

What's more, whether there will be stagnation in the future depends on whether he will introduce variables.

But......

But I choose another one.

"Foolish and short-sighted, insisting on going so far in defiance for the sake of false freedom and happiness."

The dull thunder turned into a clear sound, spreading throughout the world.

The tone of His voice contains no anger due to being disobeyed, no contempt from looking down from a high position, and no mercy from God the Father for all living beings.

This is a complete, pure, and mechanical sound that is so calm that it does not produce any fluctuations.

"—In the name of the Great Father, awaken the godhood of all the Olympian gods."

"——The Godhead, manifest."

"——Crown of Kronos, connection complete."

Below, Chiron looked at the crown that appeared in the air with a sad face and sighed.

But Zeus' actions did not change because of anyone's sadness or fear.

The air became heavier.

At this moment, the gravity, like the collapse of the sky, pressed down on everyone's shoulders.

Bend like a reed?

No, this is a gravity that is enough to make people kneel on the ground and unable to move.

"—Execute the projection of the godhead originating from the true form of Alithia."

"——The true name of the godhead, Zeus."

"—appear, appear, appear."

"—Please ask all intelligent life around you to leave immediately."

This is the baptism of heavy ions.

It is the unlimited manifestation of Mechagod's power.

"The final announcement is here."
