Chapter 58: Chapter 58: An Insurmountable High Wall
As in the previous two simulation processes.
Moran, who was already familiar with it, came to the skill selection page.
Scanning the three newly refreshed simulation skills.
His luck wasn't as good as before.
"None of these are skills that can play a key role…"
Moran muttered to himself as he looked at these skills.
His current simulation goal was to defeat the gods.
Originally, he only needed to live peacefully with the Gorgon sisters, but love along the way changed the destination.
Now, it wasn't just the Gorgon sisters.
He also wanted Artemis to be with him.
Machine Gods cannot fall in love with humans.
If Moran wanted to yearn for happiness, then from the beginning, he was destined to stand on the opposite side of the Machine Gods.
"Currently, the more effective means of curbing Gorgon's demonization is to gather faith, allowing her divinity to outweigh her demon nature, but this will inevitably lead to the ending of the last simulation. And Artemis…"
Moran recalled the night before the decisive battle.
Artemis wanted to make him her possession.
To protect Moran's life in this way.
"There's no way to choose this either, even if Artemis uses the authority of the Chief God to protect me and Medusa and the others, in the end, we would only become caged birds raised by the gods, completely cut off from possibility."
Moran couldn't make this choice after the second simulation.
Even if it was just a simulation.
But, he was still the king of Pelasgia.
"Besides, it's just Artemis expressing herself that way, the gods don't treat Medusa well, it's idiotic to truly obey the gods and hand over all power over life and death to them. They can't even control themselves."
Moran only had one route to choose from.
This was the most difficult path.
No matter what, he couldn't avoid the gods, and in the end, he and the women would all go to the opposite side of the Olympian gods.
However, this couldn't be used as a reason to retreat.
"…Let's begin."
Moran's expression was very calm.
No matter what kind of high mountain stood in front of him.
He would try to climb over it and break through.
Otherwise, he couldn't bear Artemis's trust in him, and the oath he had made with the women.
He had to seize happiness until the very end.
[Blessing of the Agricultural God (B+): The blessing bestowed by the goddess who presides over the fertility of the earth, she once regarded you as a child who only existed in ideals. With this skill, you have extremely strong immortality. Attacks launched by enemies belonging to the Earth camp will be nullified according to the skill level]
[Forced Seal. Myriad Demons' Temple (A+): The manifestation of Medusa's demonic side. You, who possess demonic blood, can also reproduce it. You can dissolve all life in a designated area by transforming into a demonic monster. If it is a human, they will immediately lose their lives, even the gods will be affected]
[Territory Creation (B): The ideal city. Pelasgia was built by you guiding your people. You can establish territory more efficiently]
[Skill selection complete]
[Greek Heroic Age of Gods, simulation begins—]
[You were born on the sea]
As in the previous simulation process.
Moran boarded the Shapeless Isle with the ocean current, and became family with the Gorgon sisters after getting along.
[With the experience of the previous two simulations, you act more decisively]
[You know that the future enemy is the gods]
[For this reason, you planned for the future early on]
[In the year you turned twelve, you were already a well-known hero on the Shapeless Isle, and the rumors spread also attracted the people of Pelasgia, who worshiped Medusa as the Mother Goddess as in the second playthrough]
[At the age of fifteen, you consolidated the divine authority worship on the Shapeless Isle, established the division of responsibilities for each priest, and the town of Pelasgia was gradually constructed and perfected according to your plan]
[The faith of the people is highly concentrated]
[After confirming the self-sufficient operation of the Shapeless Isle, you finally chose to leave the island at the age of sixteen]
[To fight against the Olympian gods]
[You must leave the Shapeless Isle to find a way, time is not so abundant for you]
[After leaving, you chose to travel around Greece]
[During this process, you met the huntress Atalanta, and you two unexpectedly became partners]
[After that, you also went to Colchis]
[Similarly, you fell in love with Medea]
[This time, even though you had a great reputation throughout Greece, the King of Colchis was still not very friendly to you]
[But, it was far less hostile than last time]
[You knew that he was just protecting his daughter and not letting go]
[This was already the twenty-fifth year since you were born into this world, and while you and Medea were learning magic, you seemed to have found a way for Pelasgia to fight against the gods]
[That was the Titans who once fought against the Greek gods]
[The Olympian fleet and the Titan fleet once fought in Greece, and the former won the war in the end]
[Since both sides are Machine Gods]
[Then it should work]
[Machine Gods should be used to defeat Machine Gods]
Moran tried to realize this possibility.
He traveled around Greece to find a way to defeat the Machine Gods.
This was indeed the most reliable way at present.
[Medea's teacher is Hecate]
[She used to be a member of the Titan fleet, but after her machine body was destroyed by the Greek gods, this goddess transformed from a Machine God into a Conceptual God and succumbed to the Olympian fleet]
[Medea through her own relationship]
[She introduced you to this former Titan]
[Hecate unexpectedly denied it]
["The Titan fleet, which was once even a descendant of Chaos, could not fight against Olympus, how can you, a mere human, fight against it?!"]
["The happiness you desire is too far away, human, you are pursuing something unattainable. You must know that only by exhausting everything on this planet, perhaps you can defeat Olympus!"]
[Although Hecate was harsh and indifferent]
[But, you can see that she still has a fire in her heart]
[Having been defeated as a member of the Titan fleet, and succumbing to the rule of the Olympian fleet like this]
[Perhaps, it's nothing to her as a Machine God]
[However, as a Conceptual God, she has many emotions, and she is no longer bound by the instructions of the machine body]
[Finally, you showed this Titan the will of a hero]
[She read the memories you provided]
[Noticing how Zeus was defeated by you and his divine body was destroyed]
[And the result of the gods facing destiny]
[Having once possessed a machine body, she knew how sad this was, and the once-cooled heart of revenge burned again]
["If you are such an unyielding hero"]
["I am willing to help you. After our compatriots were defeated by the Olympian fleet, fragments of the true body were scattered throughout the Olympus region. As one of the Titans, I can guide you to find them"]
Successfully getting Hecate to help.
Moran's plan was running steadily.
[You and Medea and Atalanta set out on a long journey]
[Through the Titan machine body relic coordinates provided by Hecate, you searched throughout Greece]
[Ten years passed, and during this time, you found scattered Machine God parts. You ordered the people of Pelasgia to transport these parts back to the country, and used the Titan authority to shield the scanning of the Olympian gods]
[In this way, even if the parts of the Titan Machine God are moved away, the Olympian gods will not notice]
[Everything seems to be progressing steadily]
[Pelasgia is also rapidly improving its overall national strength in secret because of the Machine God parts you brought back]
[The kingdom is prospering as in the second playthrough]
"At least with the remaining authority and technology of the Titan gods, our people will have the power to fight against the gods…"
Moran ran the country with this as a policy.
From the beginning of Pelasgia's birth, this was the idea.
He was determined to overcome the coming war of destruction.
[It has been thirty or forty years since the founding of Pelasgia, and you are now sixty years old]
[Although you are already old among humans]
[But you have a strong divinity and demon nature coexisting in your body, even at the age of fifty, you still remain youthful]
[Now, the gods are about to attack again]
[Combining the experience of the last time against the four-nation allied forces, you used absolute leadership to defeat the enemy soldiers]
[Pelasgia showed overwhelming power]
[Even the gods sitting quietly in the Olympus Temple did not understand why the deviation from the prediction was so great]
[But, they felt that this was still insignificant]
[The Great Chief God Zeus descended again]
[Facing this enemy who is about to destroy you, the people of Pelasgia have prepared for this decisive battle for decades]
[You led this army that defied the gods]
[Before the Olympian gods could react, you used the technology and authority of the Titan gods to contend against the divine body Zeus]
"This is the second time killing a god…"
Moran shook off the divine blood on the golden sword.
Behind him followed a group of soldiers wearing mechanical armor.
[The suddenly appearing Titan technology]
[Caught the divine body Zeus off guard]
[They had no idea that you had obtained the technology of the Titans, and they didn't know that you could control it]
[The dissipation of the divine body Zeus has not ended]
[Zeus's machine body itself appeared on the sea]
[He, who presides over thunder, punished the people of Pelasgia wearing Titan armor, everything seemed to be in vain]
"It's just the Titans who were once defeated by us, even if you humans use our compatriots, it is impossible to threaten Olympus!"
Zeus's true body unleashed divine might on the people of Pelasgia.
[Compared to the earlier total annihilation last time]
[Pelasgia is stronger this time, they persisted longer in front of the true body Zeus]
[But, your trump card is not only this]
[No matter what the world is like, as long as you live in the time where that Moon God exists, she will rush to your side]
[From the beginning, Artemis fought for you]
[The sense of déjà vu engraved in her heart, and the information memory of the second playthrough obtained through memory reading]
[She found that she could not suppress it]
[Just seeing herself in the memory changing the authority for you, just wanting you to obtain happiness, she envied herself from the bottom of her heart, that feeling was accepted by her, she deeply loved you]
[It is so in every world]
[Artemis, as one of the trump cards, raised the banner of rebellion, and pulled the trigger of the cannon towards Zeus as in the last simulation]
[Golden light strikes Zeus]
[More than that, you played your last card, relying on a new mech formed by combining all the Titan mech parts, carrying the Titan fleet's resentment towards the Olympian gods.]
[Two mech gods simultaneously attack Zeus.]
[The result is that Zeus suffered considerable damage, but He is still able to fully operate His chief god functions.]
[It is no longer a matter of gods punishing humans.]
[The myth of the Olympians versus the Titans is staged for the second time, with the remaining five major gods uniting with Zeus.]
[They fight against the rebellious Artemis and the remnants of the Titans from the past—this is a battle of myths.]
[The bodies of the two mech gods shatter before you.]
[The alliance of the six major gods is incredibly powerful.]
[The war ends in the defeat of the Pelasgians.]
[Bathing in the world-destroying divine might unleashed by the gods, consciousness gradually fades in the light, and you and your wife welcome destruction together.]
[Greek Heroic Mythology—]
[Simulation End]
"Even to this extent… still…!"
Moran gritted his teeth in frustration.
He had been torn apart countless times by the divine might of the six major gods.
His soul was once again imprinted with indelible pain.
But more than the pain on a soul level, what made him more unwilling and resentful was that he still hadn't achieved victory.
No, he was too presumptuous.
The Olympian gods came from an extraterrestrial universe.
Small planets and large galaxies.
These can become the annihilation targets of their Chaos Fleet, whether in dimension or level, the difference is worlds apart.
Just the authority held by the inter-stellar annihilation ship Zeus.
It is enough to easily destroy the planet.
If it weren't for His consciousness of deeply loving human beings, He would have probably relied on program calculations to kill the threat with one blow.
The height of the enemy is extremely high.
Looking at the overall situation of the Moon World.
Even gathering the power of the Earth may not be enough to defeat Olympus.
In the Lostbelt, Zeus's twelve mech gods combined.
With just a negligible divine slash, he annihilated the vanguard and completely destroyed the White Titan Sefar.
From this, we can associate what Hecate said.
The White Titan was defeated by exhausting the power of the planet, let alone the twelve main gods who destroyed it with one blow.
Although, with Artemis's help.
The twelve main gods cannot combine.
But the combined strength of the six main gods is also extremely terrifying, and what Hecate said to Moran is very true.
