Chapter 54: Chapter 54: The Original Destiny of the Gods
[The moment you realized that the Great God Zeus regarded you as an enemy, you quickly joined forces with Medusa to attack.]
[Thrusting the Golden Sword towards this great god.]
[In an instant, a heaven-covering baptism of lightning fell.]
[Compared to the first time without any preparation, this time Medusa unfolded her authority in advance and tried her best to resist the thunder.]
[The people chose to concentrate the power of the Mother Goddess on you, even if they would pay the price of their lives.]
[But this is still not an easy battle.]
[The ten thousand zhang of thunder is controlled by Zeus's calculation module, without even a millimeter of gap or loophole.]
[If you continue to be locked in a bitter battle like this.]
[You and Medusa will eventually fall into defeat.]
[The Great God Zeus, in the lightning, quietly watched you and Medusa dance in the lightning. He didn't think you could break through the realm of the gods.]
"Zeus! You said that you love humans more than the Earth Mother! That everything you do is to allow humans to have a more efficient future!"
"Hmph, at this point, you're still asking this question? Humans are powerless because they are trapped in small bodies. I will never let our Olympian people bear such misery!"
Zeus's answer was unwavering.
[But you smiled after hearing it.]
[Because you knew that this was the flaw of the machine gods, the problem that even they themselves were not aware of.]
[Machine gods do not make mistakes.]
[If humans commit self-contradictory problems, they can justify their behavior with ambiguity.]
[Machine gods forged from steel and machinery cannot do this. Once two things conflict with each other, the machine god's processing terminal will be unable to judge, and the machine god will continue to treat it as the same task.]
[Even if it means constantly repeating useless work.]
"Great God Zeus, please answer me! If you love humans so much! Then what about the original destiny that has been running since your birth, how are you going to deal with it!?"
"…You said…destiny!?"
The Great God Zeus instantly looked stunned.
It wasn't just Him who fell into this situation, but also the other machine gods of Olympus.
Their time seemed to have stopped.
The thinking module that had been working hard to stabilize.
Was stimulated by this truth.
[The machine gods belong to the fleet of Chaos.]
[They have traveled through the stars for countless years.]
[Finally, the gods found Earth and were worshiped as gods by humans. Although they didn't understand, the machine gods learned joy from this.]
[Although this is a useless function.]
[However, the gods couldn't abandon it.]
[The machine gods became the gods of humans.]
[However, before they felt joy, there was a highest-level command in the program.]
[It was the goal of their voyage through the stars.]
[This original mission is not to make humans prosper, but to use suitable planets to give the dying homeworld a new life.]
[As long as this highest-level command still exists and is running, then the humans under their control will not be able to prosper, and everything they do will revolve around giving the homeworld a new life.]
[And this is the destiny of the machine gods.]
[That's why they have been executing contradictory and inefficient programs because of their love for humans.]
[The gods cannot abandon their love for humans, and at the same time their fundamental purpose has not changed, and they are still completing the rebirth of their homeworld.]
[Even if they themselves didn't realize it.]
[Loving humans and executing destiny, these two things conflict with each other, and they have been bound by this program for thousands of years.]
"We, we…our fleet…the most original mission…find a planet…rebuild the homeworld…no…save humans…guide humans…!"
Zeus clearly hadn't suffered any damage.
But He fell into a situation that had never occurred before, and the thinking programs in His spiritual world were colliding.
The once dormant command awakened.
Even if He wanted to turn His head, He couldn't ignore it.
The gods tried hard to maintain the command to love humans, realizing that the original command contradicted it—there was no turning back.
[Zeus was deadlocked in processing program commands.]
[The ten thousand zhang of thunder existing in the sea area suddenly became chaotic and disorganized, like Zeus whose spirits were conflicting at this moment.]
[You knew that Zeus would recover in the next second.]
[His command terminal was not that fragile. Of course, since you had said such a truth.]
[Then you had undoubtedly prepared for it long ago.]
"Drink—!"
Moran shouted to the sky.
At the same time, he swung the Golden Sword.
Lightning like stars fell from the sky one after another. Due to Zeus's rage, they were a hundred times more ferocious than before.
"Guh! Block it for me!"
Medusa gritted her silver teeth and spread her wings.
Her beautiful snake hair was charred by the lightning, and her wings were also struck until the feathers fell out, but she still blocked the thunder.
Paving the way for the man she loved.
The pinnacle and limit of human wisdom was revealed here.
"Guh!"
Moran felt that every meter he advanced.
The lightning he passed through would take away a part of his body, and the seawater under his feet was being dyed blood red.
However, he showed a fearless smile on his face.
The sword had come before the great god.
Seizing the one-thousandth of a second gap caused by His mental turmoil, achieving a strike that had never been seen before and would never be seen again.
Puchi—!!
The Golden Sword pierced through His chest.
It was the same situation as piercing through a mortal, and the blood that splattered seemed to despise everything about the gods.
"You…why! Why do you know!?"
Zeus didn't focus on His own defeat.
Instead, He asked why Moran knew about this destiny.
This was something that humans couldn't possibly know.
The gods had been trying their best to avoid it until now, and they couldn't help it when they were told about this problem head-on.
He finally realized this contradiction and felt pain.
Because they were machine gods.
[The sword gathered the poison of all the demons in the world, including the poison of the Hydra, which even the gods would avoid.]
[Zeus's figure disappeared before you.]
[Although there was the power support of the Mother Goddess Medusa, you ultimately achieved the feat of being comparable to a god with a human body.]
[The hero who slayed a god.]
[Whether it was the Olympian people, or the people of Pelasgia, they could hardly believe this fact.]
[A human actually killed a god.]
[This was an act of great rebellion.]
[You also exhausted all the power in your body and used up all the strategies you had.]
[The Mother Goddess Medusa had very little power left.]
"Ha, did you see that old bastard's disbelieving face at the end? I've been thinking about this sword for a long time!"
Moran, covered in blood, lay on the sea.
The women looked at their battle-scarred husband with heartache.
"Yeah, you did it."
"Hey, Medusa, would you say this counts as getting revenge for you back then?"
"Idiot, I never wanted you to get revenge like this. You've always been reckless, and you still are in the end…"
Medusa was also by Moran's side.
The people around them hadn't recovered from the shock of the Great God's disappearance. Moran knew this was their last time together.
