MTLNOVEL Chapter 48: Chapter 48: My Glory is With You
'After calculation, the prediction made by the human before me is reasonable, and a comprehensive calculation leads to the conclusion that it is more efficient in terms of energy to allow the native life forms to be independent than to be dominated by us.'
Although Hephaestus did not say it.
The calculation unit of the main body had already reached a conclusion.
Unbelievable, that this would be the result.
Hephaestus had an emotion close to surprise for the first time.
"However, it is ultimately a theory, and the current situation is not enough to draw a conclusion. The destruction of the Pelasgians is inevitable. With only one Artemis, there is no possibility of resisting the gods. Currently, the information on the individual called a hero is unknown and cannot be calculated. Moran, everything you say is out of the question."
"In the end, you just can't accept it yourself."
"Denial, if there is enough information and cases, then there is a possibility of accurate calculation… It depends on whether the hero you speak of has the conditions for me to calculate."
[Although Hephaestus said so]
[But, you still did not feel despair about the future]
[On the contrary, it was the opposite]
[Knowing the problems of these machine gods, your determination to fight against the machine gods became even stronger]
[Artemis was angry at your stubbornness]
[After repeatedly failing to dissuade you, like Hephaestus, she chose to leave the palace garden and told you when the gods would arrive]
"The gods will descend in three days. The first to arrive will be the four city-states that believe in the gods, and they will join forces to start a war against the Pelasgians. The blessing of those six gods will be given to them…"
Artemis did not forget to leave a message when she left.
She was still angry now.
However, she could not just watch Moran die in vain, so she could only tell him all the information about the gods' side.
No longer dissuading was not giving up either.
'When the war guided by the gods arrives, I will let him see a profound failure. When he faces a threat to his life, as long as he waits until then, he will definitely ask me for help.'
Artemis had this idea.
She could not be sure that Moran would ask for help.
But, that was all she could do.
This situation was different from the last simulation. As long as Moran was willing to ask her, this goddess, for help.
Then, she would definitely take action.
[Time passed quickly]
[In the last three days, the Pelasgians mobilized all their national strength to prepare for the upcoming war]
[The whole country, united as one]
[To protect the only pure land in the world that belonged to them, men, women, old and young, all took up arms]
[At this moment, the arrival of the gods—]
[Only one day left]
[At noon on that day, all the people in the city of Pelasgia were summoned by you to the square in front of the royal palace]
[Thousands of people watched the high platform]
[Standing there was their beloved king. Not only did humans offer love and respect, but even divine beasts and magical beasts all bowed their heads, willing to offer their blood and flesh to their father]
"Hereby declare—people of Pelasgia!
From the beginning of the establishment of Pelasgia decades ago, I told you that war would eventually come. This time, the enemies we face are the Olympian gods! They are alien machine gods who came from outside the realm and usurped the authority of the Mother Goddess! Needless to say, Pelasgia has reached the point of survival!"
Even if Moran did not use magic to amplify his voice.
His loud voice reached every corner of Pelasgia.
Entering the hearts of all the people.
The people living in this city raised their heads and looked up at the King of Beasts whom they had followed until now.
"Whether to run away or enjoy yourselves.
I have seen it countless times in these decades, and I have handed down countless judgments. What I have ultimately exchanged for is this last ideal land in the world. Even with such an ideal, when faced with the power of the Olympian gods, we will probably be destroyed without a single one left!"
Moran's long hair fluttered like a mane.
The eyes of the king, overlooking all things, contained a surge of heat.
The people being watched couldn't help but clench their fists, so nervous that it felt like a large hand was holding their breath.
"However, facing this outcome, you chose to stay here, dedicating everything to the country you love! Fighting to this day with the resolve to perish alongside your beloved homeland! Even if the world denies you, as your king, your leader! I will affirm you!
My people! Everything you have done has meaning, which even the omnipotent Olympian gods cannot erase!
That is why Pelasgia is an ideal city-state…
Even if we are destroyed, we will be engraved in human history! We can let the world, even the universe, witness! Even if they are as strong as the Olympian gods, they cannot shake our determination!
To surpass mythology with our great achievements is not a joke!"
Moran suddenly roared at the crowd with a stern voice.
This passion infected the people of Pelasgia.
Gradually, people's worries were gradually dispelled, and they sent a response from their souls to this king.
The once tiny sparks continued to burn.
Now, it has spread into a fire that burns the sky.
"Listen well! My people! Everyone prepare to fight! This is a war against the gods from beyond the realm, to defend what we love! Let us end the karmic ties of good and evil that have been formed since the original Mother Goddess at this moment! This is an epic worthy of being passed down for thousands of years! At the same time, it is also the time for us to defend our glory, my glory is with you—!"
Moran ended with a sweeping gesture.
At this moment, it was far better than any scene that could be seen in the world.
"Ooooooooooooooh—!!"
"Our glory is with our Emperor, Pelasgia will last forever—!!"
"Defend our glory—!!!"
Thousands of people raised their fists and shouted together.
This sound wave, gathered from many beliefs, was like the roar of a dragon and a storm in mythology.
The enemy would surely panic or be confused upon hearing it, and the weak would faint immediately. It was an absolute wave of faith.
The entire island seemed to tremble.
"Heh…"
Moran looked at the people who had accompanied him to the end, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.
What if the road ahead leads to destruction?
Even if they were walking on a road destined to collapse.
They would use every means to ignite the fire of hope, this was the most dazzling and confident light of humanity.
