Facing the "Moon's Gift" that continuously hit the ground, Hercules, who was helpless, could only endure it all silently.
The precious phantoms that were usurped and the power that was accumulated were all prepared for this moment.
Although he had done the worst plan he could think of, the power of the Moon Goddess was still far beyond Hercules' expectations.
At this time, Luna probably possesses power far beyond that of any of the twelve main gods in Greek mythology.
Even the most powerful god-king Zeus cannot compare with Ares and Athena who are best at fighting and winning.
Perhaps the gap in combat power will change when his "father" and other gods still have "organisms" brought from the other side of the starry sky.
But now that the white giant had visited the earth fourteen thousand years ago and almost succeeded, Hercules can assert that there is no longer a more powerful person in the ranks of gods than the goddess on the moon. character of.
Others, even the other descendants of Zeus, may not know it, but Heracles, who eventually became a god as a "man", knew everything clearly.
The most famous so-called Twelve Olympian gods are actually not primitive gods from the earth and nature at all.
On the contrary, the so-called Greek gods are more like machines with thinking capabilities that humans on earth may be able to build thousands of years later.
Or, AI (Artificial Intelligence).
There is nothing wrong with the derogatory name "Artifact" revealed from the mouth of Moon Goddess Luna. If you really want to give them a name, then the word "Machine God" may be a good choice.
However, the original leader of the Mecha gods was not "Zeus", but as recorded in Greek mythology, "Chaos", the chaos that gave birth to everything.
The twelve series of machine gods known as Olympus did not initially reach the status of main gods as they did later, but existed like some kind of lower body.
The Mecha-gods created by the destroyed alien civilization exhausted almost all their resources before crossing the star sea and arriving on this planet that was barely suitable for life.
The destruction of the main civilization caused the Mecha-gods to lose all meaning of existence. Fortunately, when the Mecha-gods arrived, there were already intelligent beings on this planet that could believe in and worship nature and power—human beings.
At that time, human beings could not distinguish whether this daily "miracle" came from nature or gods, so they took it for granted that the aliens who came to the earth were gods of nature. Worshiped.
After all, as long as it can release thunder and lightning, in the eyes of prehistoric humans, Tesla's coil is not much different from the so-called Thor, right?
The Mecha-gods who lost their hometown and master also took on a new identity under the worship of humans, and usurped the 'names' of the Greek nature gods that should have appeared.
First there is the new Chaos, then there is the new Ouranos, the new Cronus, the new Gaia, and the new Titans.
As well as the Olympian gods who later launched a rebellion against the Titans, the Mecha-gods from across the starry sky found their new home on the earth, and were happy to become human gods and protect them.
Although they are visitors from a foreign land, the love of the Machine Gods for 'human beings' is not much different from that of the original natural gods on the earth. Therefore, although the process is quite tortuous and the existence of the Machine Gods is also different from that of the natural gods. Quite different, but until the end, humans failed to realize that the gods they believed in were unknowingly replaced.
The Mecha gods who have become Greek gods are also happy to see this.
Perhaps sometimes the machine gods will show their side that is different from ordinary natural gods, but all this will eventually end in the accident 14,000 years ago.
Whether it is a god of machines or a god of nature, they have all become the history of this beautiful planet.
The white giant who also came from the sky suppressed all the gods on the earth with thunderous force——including the gods of machines.
In that battle, the Mecha-gods lost their bodies and eventually became indistinguishable from nature gods. At the same time, they also chose to escape into the inner layer of the world along with most of the other free gods.
The decline of the Age of Gods also began and finally ended in the first year of AD.
It is not AD (AnnoDomini) which means the Lord of Jesus Christ, but the beginning of the human era (CurrentEra).
If it weren't for a mysterious holy sword user who used a star-made weapon to defeat the white giant, I'm afraid today's prosperous human civilization and the human crisis built on it would be nonsense.
Turn the topic back to Luna.
As the largest satellite of the earth, it is not an exaggeration to say that the moon has its own 'myths' and 'gods'.
If it is considered as a whole and integrated into the mythology of the earth, it is not an exaggeration to say that Luna, the goddess of the moon, has stronger power than any other god.
As a member of the original gods, it is quite normal for the goddess Luna who was occupied by the dove to be hostile to foreign gods such as Zeus and Apollo.
Heracles had already realized these things from the very beginning when he learned about the primitive gods appearing in this singularity. However, there was only one thing that Hercules could not understand before—————————— —
Even if she harbors hatred for the Olympian gods, as a nature god, Luna should still love humans, just like Oceanus Typhon and Uranus Ether.
However, at this time, Luna not only wanted revenge on the gods, but also on the humans who were supposed to show her love.
In fact, Heracles was vaguely aware that the Moon Goddess probably hated humans even more than the Olympus gods represented by Zeus.
"Why do you overestimate your ability to challenge me? Even if you already possess great power, you should still have the self-knowledge to know that you cannot defeat us. Even Oceanus and Ouranos If you are beyond your reach, why would you choose to challenge me who killed both of them?"
Unwillingly pouring out its own brilliance toward the surface, Luna's projection reappeared on the planet along with the arrows of the moon that had been tilting out of the cracks in the sky like mercury.
And as if to laugh at Hercules' overestimation of his abilities, Luna's figure at this moment was much larger than Hercules's, so much so that Animusfia and others who were rushing here were Everyone had a clear view of the beautiful figure of the Moon Goddess.
"Is the mere word 'hero' really worth what you do? Or do you really believe in the so-called oracles of those creatures and think that as long as there is 'light' you can defeat me? How stupid, think about it. Think about it, you stupid god who thinks he is light, where does the 'light' that shines from the bright moon to the ground come from?"
Focusing all her attention on Heracles, who dared to overestimate his capabilities and launch a rebellion against her, Luna even failed to notice that Jason, Animusfia and others were riding the Argonauts all the way through the thorny terrain. Rushed to Hercules' side.
In other words, even if she noticed it, the goddess' pride still did not take these small humans into consideration.
Hercules lowered his eyes and stared at the familiar ship that was rushing towards his close friend and the familiar ship that he had adventured with before, thinking this way.
And the fact that he is so valued is actually due to the fact that the power he has shown reaches the level of the Moon Goddess's judgment of "god".
It's really ridiculous to say it.
When he was still a human, he spent his whole life hoping to become a member of the human race living on that earth, but he was not accepted.
On the contrary, Hercules was so quickly accepted by the gods even though he just abandoned his human identity and gained the power of the gods.
Whether it is the gods of Olympus or the current goddess of the moon.
Where does moonlight come from?
How could Hercules not know that?
By reflecting sunlight, the moon shines onto the ground.
And using "sunlight" to attack the Moon Goddess was an unrealistic idea from the beginning————————————
But Hercules never wanted to defeat the Moon Goddess on his own from the beginning.
Just like he was unwilling to become a god from the beginning——————————
"Then let me ask you a question, the aloof Moon Goddess, since you are so great, why do you hate humans so much?"
Looking at the Argonaut, which was almost within reach, Hercules stabilized his body that was sinking under the weight of the sky, then raised his head with a smile and looked at Luna.
He was not looking at the projection of the Moon Goddess created by the moonlight, but his eyes were staring tightly, piercing the sky with his gaze, crossing the starry sky, and piercing Luna who stood up from the throne.
The "light" that can truly defeat the "moon" was recognized by Hercules the first time he saw it.
"What----?"
Facing the glare that suddenly spanned hundreds of thousands of kilometers of space, Luna, who obviously shouldn't feel anything, suddenly felt a stinging sensation and couldn't help but take two steps back.
"Follow the path I have laid, my friend!"
