MTLNOVEL Chapter 50: Chapter 50: The Great God Zeus Appears
"What can mere native gods lead humanity to do? Before our descent, they accomplished nothing! Though we are both gods, how can they compare to us, the descendants of Chaos, who traverse the stars!"
Aphrodite spoke with extreme displeasure.
[The main reason was the terrible situation on the battlefield.]
[Which, unexpectedly, overturned the predictions of the gods.]
[The Pelasgians, under your leadership, are invincible, as if they knew all the intelligence of the Allied Forces from the start.]
[Wherever the blade points.]
[The Greek Allied Forces are pierced like thin paper.]
[The Twelve Olympian Gods were surprised by this situation, but only to a limited extent. They attributed it to not including the concept of "hero" in their calculations and not collecting information on this thing called "hero".]
"I am aware of your anger, everyone.
I am also aware of your anxiety."
Zeus, the King of the Gods, spoke.
He didn't react much to the deviation between the battle situation and his expectations, treating it as a line of code that hadn't been looked at.
It was fundamentally unimportant.
What was concerning was something else.
"But be quiet. We do not make mistakes, we are correctness itself. As for this situation, there is only one possibility. Surely, a human named Moran has obtained information about our people. However, at this point, it is no longer important."
Zeus's gaze slightly glanced in a certain direction.
The direction he was looking at was Artemis.
However, Artemis showed a playful smile.
She didn't think there was any problem at all.
As a great god, Zeus naturally knew everything.
He probably didn't say it directly in front of the gods because he felt this problem wasn't worth paying attention to.
It was just his daughter's capriciousness.
"Accepting the defeat of our people is also our responsibility. We must still guide humanity and protect humanity. However, even with the intelligence, that individual leading the rebel army, the human named Moran—"
Zeus seemed to be considering something.
He had also been watching this war the entire time.
He knew that the key core of the Pelasgians was Moran, and that if he was defeated, everything would be completely over.
"He is a king hailed as a hero… He once arrogantly said that the future we guide is all inefficient. A mere human reed dared to make such outrageous remarks! Ha, how interesting!"
Zeus received information from Hephaestus.
He also learned about the discussion that night.
Therefore, he became interested in this human.
[The war on the ocean lasted for several days.]
[The blood of humans, magical beasts, and divine beasts stained the sea red, and the wreckage of warships and corpses floated together on the sea.]
[The bloody battle of several days was unprecedentedly tragic.]
[This was undoubtedly a pyrrhic victory.]
[The four Greek Allied Forces were defeated. They used all the aid provided by the gods, but they did not fulfill the divine decree issued by the gods.]
"Huff… hah… huff huff…"
Moran stood on the surging sea.
In his hand, he held a golden sword solidified with blood.
The blood on his handsome face had already dried, and his long hair was stuck together with blood.
The armor on his body was covered with cracks.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, he was invincible, each victory brought him a certain amount of trauma.
"Lord Moran…"
Medea trembled as she released her magic.
She had healed Moran countless times.
These past few days had been nothing but blood.
Her eyelids hadn't closed for days, but she persisted even though she was exhausted and trembling.
More than the approaching death.
She was even more afraid of the departure of her beloved.
"…Did we win…? We…!"
A soldier lying on driftwood gasped.
His back was pierced by six or seven knives, spears, swords, and halberds, and he was barely surviving on the life force provided by the magical beast factor in his body.
There were many more soldiers like this.
But most of them were dead.
The Pelasgian army was even too weak to shout victory. They had exhausted everything to cope with this war.
[That's right, you led your people to defeat a million troops.]
[The information provided by Artemis largely guaranteed the survival of your people and the victory of the war.]
[If you only look at the achievements of humans, no king in all of Greece can compare to you.]
[But you also know that the war is far from over.]
[The Greek Allied Forces are just the vanguard. The existence behind the divine decree is the real enemy—]
"—Divinity, awaken."
"—Divinity, manifest."
"—Synchronization with the divine artifact, the Crown of Cronus, completed."
"—Divinity mapping from the true body."
Suddenly, a sound that echoed throughout Greece came from the sky again.
Its tone was neither like a god nor like a human.
It was an extremely cold machine.
"—Divinity manifestation in the Great Altar domain."
"—Divinity pseudo-body name: Zeus."
"—Manifest, manifest, manifest—It is recommended that all intelligent life forms in this sea area perform mental defense—"
A huge magical pressure came from the sky.
Medusa tensed up at the same time and unfolded her divine authority.
She used divine authority of equal scale to resist this divine might, protecting the people who were still alive in the sea.
She had always endured and had not taken action.
Moran instructed Medusa not to take the initiative unless the entire army was on the verge of destruction.
The real enemy had not yet arrived.
Her power had to be saved for this final moment.
The war between people would be left to him, the king, and the war between gods would be taken over by her.
Now, that moment had arrived.
Rumble—!!
Blue lightning like a giant dragon struck from the sky.
The huge roar caused all humans to lose consciousness, and only Moran and his lover could barely stand.
Even the retreating Greek Allied Forces.
They fell into darkness the moment they saw the lightning.
If it weren't for the blessing of the gods providing recovery, these people would probably be blind for the rest of their lives.
"—This is the mercy of the omnipotent god.
This is a blessing, and also an acknowledgment of your struggle."
The pure white form of lightning appeared.
So abruptly, it appeared in front of Moran.
Almost equivalent to the descent of the symbol of lightning itself, he moved here from the mobile temple of Olympus.
The most powerful great god of the Greek Age of Gods.
Even the former Titan fleet was completely destroyed, and the authority of Uranus and Cronus was taken into his hands.
The Great God who almost reached eternity.
The Omnipotent God, Zeus.
