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

Zeus looked at the scene in front of him and felt that he had never seen such a strange existence. Even if he used all his calculations, he could not understand the complex information conveyed by this sacred body.

Like a man and a woman, like an old man and a child, Zeus could not see the real face, but felt that all the possible faces in the world could be seen in Him.

He wears a crown of thorns on his head, a sun-shaped divine light hangs on his back, and his eyes are filled with blazing flames.

The faces were really hard to distinguish, but at the end, Zeus realized that he only saw Russell's face on it.

Liquid golden light was flowing on its body.

The body, which originally seemed to be restrained by something and was shaped like a cross, now finally revealed the secret ritual that restricted its power.

The cross he carried seemed to be made of ordinary wood, but it shone with the brilliance of gold.

"No, it's not made of ordinary wood, it seems..."

Zeus, who had forged a temporary concept called "royal power", was able to use Chaos' power and core computing without being backlashed. At this moment, he was not only looking at the figure in front of him with his own eyes.

It is also letting the original chaos, the origin of all mechanical gods, watch.

There is more to understand.

But because of this, Zeus became even more puzzled.

"More like the core axis of the universe's fracture? Or a painting covering the world?"

Under this figure, even the sky raging with thunder and lightning was dyed with a sacred glow at this moment.

That dazzling golden body was nailed to the cross.

"Just like the primordial chaos, trapped in the cracks of space and time..."

This thought suddenly appeared in Zeus' mind.

Could this be Sisyphus' trump card?

He thought so and felt that it was very possible. After all, he, a visitor from another world, could still achieve this level after violating the mission given to his body.

And it is only natural that Sisyphus can do it better.

but......

Although it is similar to the original chaos trapped in the cracks of space and time in the universe, the differences contained therein still make Zeus unable to ignore it.

Just like Chaos would rather burn almost all of his energy to send out his new generation of mecha gods, this contains similar concepts such as "sacrifice", "dedication" and "sacredness".

But unlike Chaos, this body did not seem to be forced into this form.

The arc of its outstretched arms, the liquid gold and sacred blood flowing from its wounds, the concept that constantly inspires pity and blesses the world...

All these things combined indicate that this phantom, or the owner of this phantom, was not forced to appear trapped in this state, but just made such a difficult oath for something.

Where the blood dripped, the world seemed to be rippled.

It's like throwing ice water into an exploding star, there's no sound at all, and nothing will happen in the calm.

The Holy Savior has reappeared in this world.

"You named the secret ritual 'Royal Power', thereby usurping Chaos's power. How about I demonstrate my so-called Royal Power?"

"Royalty?"

Zeus explained in an almost indifferent tone.

"That's not what I'm pursuing. Rather than being a king protecting my subjects, I'm more like a father protecting a child who hasn't yet gained independence."

Human beings are children who have never been independent.

Therefore, we should continue to be protected by God.

This was Zeus' original idea, but now, his idea has changed.

Treating humans as reeds, there is no need to be independent, just obey him and you will be protected.

"I originally thought that no matter how independent humans became, they could never surpass the heights of us Mecha-Gods. But I never imagined that such a thing could actually exist..."

There was a barely perceptible sigh in Zeus' tone.

"A figure manifested entirely by human spiritual power is not a force consistent with us or the local concept of God."

But more like God than him.

More like the kind of god that people in the world believe in the most.

Zeus is self-aware. According to the data he knows, because they were originally Mechas, the Mechas of Olympus would more or less do things that were sometimes abstract and sometimes normal.

The human side is sometimes extremely rich and sometimes extremely indifferent.

For example, Artemis, who suddenly fell in love, could be said to have completely deviated from her original image.

"Join us. The Mecha God will not decline with the fading of the Age of Gods, nor will his power diminish with them. Follow my plan step by step, and I can make you the fourth generation God-King."

113. The World of Men

When the divine savior appeared, Russell knew that Zeus understood...

At least understand part of it, about the Holy Savior.

Some of the data was collected by the Machine God.

And because of this, these few exchanges were very different from the previous ones.

As for the willingness to make himself the fourth generation God King, Russell believed it.

It’s not just because the favorability level of Zeus suddenly soared to the auspicious number of 88.

This is also because Zeus’s attribute of being a lover is already strong.

In this stand-in that is completely evolved from human spiritual power, expressing human consciousness, human soul, and human will, one will inevitably feel happy.

certainly......

In addition to joy, there are naturally other emotions.

Just like, after Asclepius successfully researched the resurrection medicine, Zeus wanted to kill Asclepius on the grounds that he "extended his hand into the realm of gods."

It was even promised that after Asclepius' death, he would be elevated to a constellation and become a member of the Olympian pantheon.

The promise made to himself as the so-called "Fourth Generation God King" is probably just the same old thing in a new bottle.

Treat him to a meal, behead him, or take him in as a dog.

Zeus just said that we must follow his instructions step by step and execute them correctly?

This is what is called, accept it as a dog.

When the resurrection medicine was developed and Asclepius touched the realm of God, he wanted to be promoted to a constellation.

And my power is unique, a power that even the Mecha God cannot control.

It is estimated that in the eyes of Zeus, it is the kind of thing that not only touches the realm of gods, but also transcends the realm of gods and does things that gods cannot do.

Therefore, promising him the position of the fourth generation God King is very reasonable.

only......

Russell said with some amusement, "They keep saying that humans cannot be independent, yet they select the best among humans and elevate them to gods. And the gods..."

Russell didn't tell the whole story, but Zeus knew it in his heart.

God...

In the Greece under his rule, the other gods basically would not allow other gods to share, contact, or teach their own humans most of the time, or even never.

I want to monopolize humanity, monopolize this admiration, and let this admiration be enjoyed by myself alone.

This is not a distortion, it just exaggerates the original feelings of the Mecha God.

After they arrived on this planet and revealed their powers, humans began to regard them as true gods.

Even their names and personalities were conceived by humans for the Mechas, who revered them as sacred beings, and the wind of worship gradually spread across this land.

The increasingly strong trend of worship at that time also touched the thinking circuits of the machine god.

After that, the Machine God incorporated this feeling towards humans, this name and personality into his own program.

In this way, it was unanimously decided to replace "resurrecting the mother planet" with "protecting humanity" as the top priority.

until today......

"Even the most critical judge of you, who has been able to muster such strength, would find it hard to erase it. It would be a shame to erase such a brilliant honor."

"Over the long years, that's the only person I'm vaguely aware of, and only one previous example. Of course... calling him a person isn't quite the right word."

At this point, Zeus' tone rarely lacked a touch of levity.

"Lugalbanda, that should be his original name. This king has many names, but the one that catches my attention the most is his title as the 'Common Lord of Humanity,' according to the current data. After that, this is my second most important one."

Even with his initially weak body, he was not afraid of the willful goddess.

After awakening the phantom with his own spiritual power, he had the capital to fight back.

"That's what I'm concerned about—"

"The database is very confusing, but you can still deduce something from it."

"In the earliest data, actually the part I transcribed and preserved, it records that Lugalbanda, in human form, defeated Enlil, who at the time had the power to unleash a devastating flood."

"But after that, the world began to change. In my current understanding, the whole world is telling me that the legend of Enlil, like Marduk, is actually just one aspect of Lugalbanda. There is no real Enlil..."

"What exactly do you want to say?"

Russell interrupted Zeus's narration and asked in a serious tone.

"I just want to say..." Zeus whispered, gazing at the shadowy figure standing behind Russell. "Everything seems to be connected to the so-called shadow. It's truly remarkable that you've been able to gain such power..."

"Your experience is indeed somewhat similar to his. So..."

"Can you tell me the true power of your phantom?"

The top of the cross suddenly broke off.

The Holy Diver, who was originally in a suffering posture, seemed to be freed from his restraints, but also seemed to be engulfed by the holy flames.

The liquid golden light that originally flowed on the body gathered at this time, forming a sacred vortex.

"Why don't you try it yourself?"

At the right time, one can obtain the abilities one needs through sacrifice and rituals.

Russell looked at the divine savior beside him, whose dazzling image was no longer there, but had turned into billions of light feathers, clinging to him, and he seemed to understand something.

There is a cross mark engraved on the front of each feather of these light feathers.

On the back, there is a rotating hour disc.

"I see. You've already used this ability before, right?"

Zeus sighed, but he didn't feel upset about it.

"No wonder, my ears are so quiet, only your voice can be heard. You were able to do it so quietly, without even me noticing. It's truly terrifying. Creating an environment for a fair duel, is this your ability?"

"With Chaos's stellar energy, if it were still in its original location, I'm afraid that invisible island would not be able to remain."

Russell smiled lightly and stared at Zeus intently.

"A fair duel environment... You're right. While it's not that simple, it would be tedious to spell out all the rules. Let's experience it through combat."

"By the way, before we start, I still have to say hello to you—"

"Welcome to the world of manliness."

114. The Small World Surrounding the Sky

A man's world...

What does this mean?

Looking at the world gradually losing the sounds and colors of the outside world, Zeus made a judgment.

"After scanning and analyzing the algorithmic domain, this world should be a small world independent of the original world, yet connected to it. Due to the limited amount of data, it is impossible to determine whether this small world has other abilities."

Looking at Zeus, who was still connected to him and whose [window] was still open, supplying him with power, he did not feel relieved at this moment, but felt even more depressed.

It turned out to be...
