Type-Moon Simulation: Starting with Conquering a Greek Goddess!-Chapter 319: Declaration, This is the Divine Judgment

"No, you killed Athena... You've gone mad, Zeus! I will never submit to you!"

However, Hades's defiance exceeded Zeus's expectations.

He chose to self-destruct as a final act of resistance, preferring death over becoming Zeus's prisoner.

As a ship of the same series as Zeus, Hades's self-destruction created an unprecedented shockwave.

Zeus, being the closest, was engulfed by the blast.

The concentrated energy created a thermal differential in the air.

The resulting shockwave turned the surrounding ruins to dust, scattering them with a hot wind. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Though He had prepared, Zeus's mecha form still suffered damage.

"—Foolish... To make such a senseless choice, Hades, my brother. You, the god of the underworld, would rather submit to death than walk with me?!"

Zeus's voice was filled with sorrow and anger.

He had not killed the other mecha gods.

Hestia, Poseidon, Apollo, and Aphrodite were still operational, though they had temporarily lost their combat capabilities and were in a state akin to hibernation.

Hera's divine authority was of the control and domination type.

It was with her help that Zeus refrained from killing the four mecha gods.

"Very well, from now on, I will take control of Hades and Athena's divine authorities. I will incorporate their powers and divinity into my own."

The Olympian fleet was originally a single entity.

As its flagship, Zeus had the power to control the divine authorities of the twelve mecha gods. It was not strange for Him to reclaim Hades's authority.

This was the essence of the omnipotent god.

He was not only the god who conquered and ruled humanity with thunder but also the god who ruled over other gods with His immense power.

—The Ruler of the Stars, the King of Gods.

At this moment, He stood as a true god above the mechanical ships.

Even if the other eleven mecha gods were all destroyed, Zeus would not lose their powers and authorities. Everything would simply return to its original form.

The Crown of Cronus would reclaim it all.

"Hera, next, I will adjust the divine cores of Hestia, Poseidon, Apollo, and Aphrodite. Though I can control their divine authorities, for Olympus to function more efficiently, I need their existence."

"Yes, as my lord commands."

Hera responded with sorrow.

She still did not doubt the path Zeus had chosen.

But it was undeniably cruel.

The fratricide among brothers and children was a tragic event, no matter where it occurred.

After all the mecha gods were purged, Zeus, who ruled over everything, would inevitably fall into loneliness, reaching a level of isolation even she could not comprehend.

Even in this state, Hera still sensed that Zeus held a deep love for humanity.

However, the path He had chosen was fraught with thorns.

Though she had initially only wanted to prevent Zeus from being alone, now even Hera's voice could no longer reach Him.

No one could convey their voice to Zeus anymore.

"...I will deliver my judgment to the people. I will declare that the six mecha gods who fled to the mortal world have betrayed Olympus. I will do my utmost to ensure that the people are not caught in the crossfire of our battle. Enough blood has been spilled; there is no need for further waste."

Zeus's cold divine gaze swept over the remaining mecha gods.

Even in the midst of the civil war among the gods, He still cared for His people, unwilling to let humanity be drawn into the conflict.

Though this great god had descended into madness and resolve, He still held love within Him.

For the people of Greece, today was no different from any other day.

They continued their daily lives, offering prayers to the gods, and expressing their highest reverence and faith.

But in an instant, everything changed.

Zeus, the King of Gods, spoke directly, His divine voice echoing across every corner of Greece—

[The Great Orbital Temple of Olympus, Dodona, hereby declares]

[The Omnipotent God Zeus, hereby declares]

[This is the judgment, this is the judgment]

[Hephaestus, god of fire; Artemis, goddess of the moon; Demeter, goddess of agriculture; Ares, god of war—]

[Once beloved as my children, once deeply cherished as my sister. Sadly, they have committed a grave sin, the sin of defying the supreme Olympus]

[People, lament]

[People, cry out]

[Your lament is my tears, your cries are my anguish—]

[From the seventh dawn henceforth, I will lead Olympus to crush the guilty gods who have fled to the mortal world]

[Oh, my people, oh, my people]

[The abandonment of faith and the choice of survival will surely bring you immense sorrow... To spare you the suffering of war, from this day forward, Olympus will be open to all, and divine messengers will guide you there]

[I will grant you all my love and protection, and the images of the fallen guilty gods will be shown to all]

[Watch closely, and weep]

[For a hundred years after the fall of the guilty gods, I permit you to wear mourning clothes and lament]

No one could fail to hear Zeus's divine words.

The impact of the message was immense, as many in Greece worshipped the four gods mentioned.

"No... it can't be... The moon goddess Artemis, whom I worship... how could she betray the supreme Olympus...?!"

"Great God Zeus... His words... cannot be false...!"

The priests and priestesses in the temples were struck as if by lightning.

They all wept and mourned.

"Olympus! The supreme Olympus! Praise the great and omnipotent God Zeus! I can go to Olympus! I can go to the sacred Olympus! Ahaha, hahaha, hahaha—!!"

There were also kings who rejoiced at Zeus's benevolence.

They longed to bring their entire nations to the supreme Olympus, to the holy realm closest to the gods.

"Lord Ares... has betrayed Olympus..."

"No! Sparta only believes in the war god, the one true deity! What does it matter to be enemies with Olympus!? What does it matter to betray Olympus?!"

"That's right, my Sparta is a nation under the protection of the war god!

Even if the war god's spear points at the great god Zeus, we will believe in and follow Him to the last moment!"

Some resolutely chose to follow the deity they believed in.

Even if they might be burned to ashes by the great god's thunder.

At this moment, the twilight of the gods triggered by Moran has completely ignited all of Greece.
