LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 53: Chapter 53: My Grace Must Not Be Refused!
["Sorrow is death, sorrow is the end."]
["My beloved Olympian people, and the small hero who crossed thousands of lightning bolts and defied us, how lovable, I hereby bestow mercy upon you, this is a blessing."]
["You are the one who cultivates the abundance of the stars–"]
A wave-like undulation spread.
Along with the descent of divine light illuminating the sea area, the aura of life was filling this space.
The Olympian people who had originally died were resurrected.
The bodies that had lost their lives in the seabed regained consciousness, and they swam back to the surface again.
[This divine skill is astonishing]
[It is something that only the great deeds of the gods can accomplish, single-handedly resurrecting a large number of the dead who had once died]
[You were also illuminated by the light]
[The true body that governs the earth]
[Demeter, the goddess of earth and harvest, whose name means Earth Mother, is the Earth Mother who inherited the nature of Gaia]
[Is the god who saved mankind with the immortal fruit]
[Her true body is an interstellar navigation material production ship, an infinite circulation material production tower]
[You were reborn under her care]
[Your form, which had been almost turned into coal, regained its shape, and the charred skin fell off, regaining its fair and radiant luster]
[Because of the love and mercy bestowed by the gods]
[You regained life]
[Medea and Atalanta immediately rushed to your side, although you were resurrected by the agricultural god using her power, you were still weak]
[However, you clenched your fist]
[It was as if this kind of pity and mercy bestowed by the enemy was not what you and the Pelasgians needed]
"How is it? This is our divine power. Although we are from a foreign land, what was the attitude of the native gods on this land towards humans before our descent? How could there be such compassion?"
Zeus gazed at the resurrected Moran.
[He still remembered the native gods born from this planet]
[Ruling humans with cruelty and ruthlessness, their methods were so inefficient that the machine gods considered them to be eliminated]
[Humans didn't even have time to grow]
[They had already been destroyed by the gods]
[They were constantly staging the end of the world on this land, merely treating humans as pieces for amusement]
"Heroes like you are truly rare, even in the world there are only a few. It would be too much of a pity to die like this–accept my blood/legacy."
[Zeus made an unexpected suggestion]
[Not only did He not have the idea of eliminating and erasing you, but He also said that He would provide you with His own legacy/blood]
"Accept my divine blood. Even your dead people, Demeter can use her power to resurrect, and as for the sins you have committed before, they can also be written off."
Zeus's tone was calm and steady.
As if He hadn't considered your thoughts from the beginning.
Or rather, He felt that it wasn't important.
[He believed that you, who had witnessed the great power of the machine gods, would definitely not refuse this transaction without any losses]
[There was still not enough information for the machine gods]
[Perhaps the fundamental reason why Zeus made this suggestion was to collect and record data on the so-called hero]
[The Pelasgian people heard the words of the Great God]
[So did the Olympian people]
[Everyone's eyes were focused on you, just waiting for you, the king of a country, to give an answer]
[Artemis stared at you intently]
[She desperately hoped that you could accept this transaction]
"I refuse."
Moran gave his answer without hesitation.
There was no need to spend time thinking about this kind of thing at all.
Not a single Pelasgian regretted it.
Their hearts had this answer from the beginning.
The people had absolute trust in Moran, their king.
"Hmph, my grace must not be refused!"
Zeus once again applied heavy pressure.
This time, all the people were also resisting stubbornly, and their resistance was much stronger than the last time.
"Everything I give to people.
Is all grace, all love, all things that should be accepted!"
[Zeus watched you struggling to support yourselves]
[He turned His gaze to Medusa, knowing that it was this Earth Mother who was allowing you to persevere until now]
[Although, that's the case.]
[But He understood your determination.]
"Ah, how cruel, what an erroneous and incomprehensible act. If you had frankly accepted this grace, I could have regarded you as my cute and mischievous child. You could also regard me as your mother."
[Demeter showed a sad expression.]
[She still remembered the brilliance Moran had displayed, so the maternal instinct in her heart couldn't stop overflowing.]
[Seeing a child working so hard like this.]
[Which mother wouldn't feel heartache?]
[No matter what, the implementation of destiny must be guaranteed. As long as you still believe in the Earth Mother, that child must be regarded as an enemy.]
[How sad, how painful.]
[But there's nothing to be done.]
"Zeus, our god is only the Mother Goddess, and we will never accept the divine blood you bestow. Although the native gods of the past were cruel and ruthless, Medusa is definitely not like that. She is not only the goddess worshiped by our people, but also my beloved and proud wife!"
Moran stood up again and faced Zeus.
He could almost pat his chest and feel no guilt, his eyes staring straight at the great god who looked displeased.
"So that's how it is. You don't intend to submit from the beginning. Even after witnessing my power to this extent, even if the ending is destruction, you still want to carry on with your people?!"
Soon, He laughed again.
This sense of oppression was completely different from before.
"Pleasant, truly, pleasant!
Among humans, there are actually existences like you! Existences that even our starships cannot analyze, but this unknown is precisely dangerous! And we do not need the unknown!"
Enmity poured from Zeus's eyes.
[He had clearly changed his way of looking at things.]
[He regarded the Pelasgians as demons that would poison his people sooner or later.]
[They were existences that had to be erased from this world.]
[If this kind of thinking is allowed to breed among humans, it will inevitably hinder their guidance of the planet.]
[This must undoubtedly be prevented.]
[At this moment, the Great God Zeus decided to eliminate you.]
