Type-Moon Simulation: Starting with Conquering a Greek Goddess!

[She must let her lover live]

[She knew why you were unwilling to accept]

[Even if you and your lovers were saved, you would only become caged birds raised by the gods]

[The price of survival was to lose the land you cherished, to betray the faith and love of your people, and only by abandoning most of what you currently possessed could you exchange for the possibility of survival]

[According to the cold thinking of machines, survival was undoubtedly the highest priority choice]

But, you are not a machine.

You are the one who taught Artemis about love, the one who moved a goddess with the dazzling light of humanity.

Therefore, you cannot choose to abandon everything.

That would be truly putting the cart before the horse.

Just as Artemis and you were arguing, another voice interrupted you.

"Why, why must you resist?"

A metal bird flew into the garden.

No, it had been there from the beginning.

This metal bird was so lifelike that even Moran and Artemis couldn't distinguish it from a living creature.

"Hephaestus? Why are you here?"

Artemis saw through the master controlling the metal bird.

Only the god of the forge possessed such skill.

"The reason is based on incomprehension. No matter which angle I calculate from, no matter how I consider it, I cannot understand why the Pelasgians resist so much. From the moment you became enemies with the gods, you had already lost your chance of winning."

Hephaestus's mechanical voice rang out.

It was a cold, emotionless tone like a telegram, mixed with a hint of confusion and incomprehension.

"What baffles me even more is why—

Interstellar Combat Aircraft, Artemis, why would you commit such a fall from grace, to love a human so much? This is a fall. It goes against the ideals that our fleet upholds."

[He was puzzled by various confusions]

[He decided not to impose sanctions before resolving the confusion]

[As a result, he sent a familiar to this garden, only to see Artemis so desperately seeking the survival of a human]

[This does not conform to their operating standards]

"Gods should not be swayed by personal feelings. Too much personal feeling will make the originally efficient project cumbersome, which is inefficient.

For us, inefficiency means it should be eliminated."

"Hephaestus! You're so annoying! Why does everything have to be run by calculation modules? That's completely meaningless! Who I like is none of your business, right!?"

"…I am stating the facts."

[Hephaestus was like a rigid old man]

[His confusion remained unresolved]

[He had noticed some things for hundreds of years]

[He realized that under the rule of the Olympian gods in Greece, there seemed to be problems that he could not ignore]

[Lowliness, inefficiency]

[Situations that should not have occurred under the rule of the gods, yet for some reason, this result appeared]

"Intelligent life form named Moran. From the results, the probability of you successfully surviving against the gods is 4.6%, and the probability of victory is 0.56%… Why resist until now?"

Hephaestus turned to ask Moran.

His goal in coming here was also him.

"Because, obeying you means losing possibility. Humans are not machines. To protect things called happiness and freedom, they will sometimes throw their lives away."

"Isn't that putting the cart before the horse? To gain happiness, but to lose one's life in vain, without the opportunity to enjoy it. Dying before truly obtaining it."

Hearing Hephaestus's indifferent words.

[You couldn't help but shake your head with a smile]

[This god of fire was even more stubborn than he thought]

[The current machine gods possess machine bodies]

[Presumably, it is for this reason that their understanding of humans is still at the lowest limit]

"Humans, as intelligent life forms on this planet, fear the arrival of death, fear the annihilation of the self. Everything is prioritized to prevent this," Hephaestus said.

"That's certainly true. Most humans fear these things, most fear their own demise. Unable to endure pain and nothingness, they waste their short lives every moment. In every aspect, humans cannot match the gods."

Moran bluntly stated the flaws of humanity.

Artemis remained silent.

Hearing Moran's view of humanity for the first time, she actually wanted to know why he resisted until now.

"If that's the case, then why—"

"God of Fire, there are always a few existences among humans who sometimes cross this barrier, perhaps through knowledge, perhaps through technology, or perhaps through spirit. They have things they want to protect and don't want to lose more than the fear of self-annihilation. They fear that they will lose, so they will choose to give everything without hesitation."

Moran's words contained a kind of energy.

This was something the machine gods could not understand.

It was the light forged by human hands, something that even the omnipotent machine gods could not create.

"Such people are called heroes. However, in Greece, guided by you Olympian machine gods, what I see is the possibility of heroes being cut off. If you continue to choose to rule humans in this way, one day, humans will lose the brilliance they should have."

Moran spoke of the most critical issue.

[Not only what you saw as a hero and a king, but also your understanding of the Moon World]

[You have enough qualifications and confidence to respond to the God of Fire]

[The gods who possess the bodies of machine gods]

[One day, they will face this problem]

[Zeus of the Divergence Belt was too loving of humanity, and this excessive love destroyed the possibility of humanity]

[Currently, the machine gods are unaware of such problems]

[The humans under their rule]

[Will eventually cease to be human]

[For humans, this is the most terrifying problem, because the omnipotence of the great gods eliminates any possibility and fantasy. It is difficult to recognize such an existence as human]

"To use your words, God of Fire, that kind of future is a truly inefficient future, right?"

"…"

Hephaestus could not answer Moran.

In fact, he calculated according to what Moran said.

Taking the rule of the gods and the situation of the entire Greece as a reference, he constantly calculated and came to a conclusion.

Examples like Artemis would continue to appear, and the machine gods would become more and more fond of and overprotective of humans.

The gods would protect everything that humans possessed, and the gods would define everything related to happiness.

In other words, they would take everything away.

Humans would therefore completely become reeds that had lost themselves.

Becoming reeds that only praised the gods.

Therefore, heroes would not be born in the future.

For the operation of the system, it would undoubtedly be quite inefficient.
