Zeus's grace is higher than the sky

For Hubie now, the meaning of the battle was to delay Jibril until Zeus arrived, and to prevent her from returning to the base of the [Flügel] in case she discovered something.

"【Load】Battle script activated, 【Open】."

As the battle script unfolds, Brother Bi's hand and foot machines begin to transform into guns and thrusters, and release floating units to assist in combat.

Hubie aimed his gun at Jibril, and with one shot, the opposite mountain was flattened by the laser.

But this speed was obviously not enough to hit Jibril. With the help of the Flügel's body that had reached its limit, Jibril easily avoided the energy cannon.

Hubie continued to launch non-stop attacks while chasing Jibril, but Jibril dodged them one by one with her strong body and the fighting skills she had honed on the battlefield. Then, when Hubie was halfway through the pursuit, she suddenly turned around and slashed at Hubie with a knife. If Hubie had not reacted in time, Zeus's protection would have been triggered prematurely.

Using the grappling hook that he had just released to avoid Jibril's attack, Hubie flew into the air, trying to lock onto Jibril at a high point, but before Hubie could be ready, Jibril rushed straight towards Hubie, facing the muzzle of the gun.

As a last resort, Xubi could only fire the [Spirit Skeleton Bullet] to create distance and block the view.

"You actually launched a [Spirit Corpse Bullet]? What a wicked machine that pollutes the environment. But do you think such a simple attack could hurt me?"

As he said this, he rushed towards Hubie who was high in the sky, and at this time Hubie's real killer move was already prepared.

"I've been waiting for this moment! [Opening the Classic] [False Classic: Yan Long Xiao]."

A pitch-black spell unfolded behind Hubie, and the muzzle of the cannon in his hand gathered hot and powerful energy, instantly pouring out towards Jibril.

This attack was learned several years ago by the Ex-Machinas during their collective subjugation of the Dragonite leader, the Yanlong, who was said to be a match for the Old Deus.

However, due to the fact that it was an [Analyzer], the energy of the attack was far from enough. According to Hubie's speculation, such an attack still could not defeat Jibril. Just when Hubie was planning to continue to finish off Jibril to delay time, he found that he could not find the target.

Hubie turned around and saw that Jibril had moved behind him with her spatial ability and swung her sickle at him. Just as the sickle was about to touch Hubie's body, Jibril found that she could not swing it any further.

A strong hand grabbed the scythe that was about to be swung.

Chapter 30: Keep Waving

Zeus arrived at the battlefield.

Jibril looked at the man who had easily stopped her attack. The powerful aura made Jibril shudder, and she dodged and distanced herself from him.

"Unknown strong man, I see. Is this special [Ex-Machina] your masterpiece?"

"No, Hubie became so special by his own will."

Jibril was not interested in Zeus's answer now. Her mind was full of thoughts about what a great harvest today was. She had found the head of a powerful being of an unknown race, or even the head of a special individual, a head of an extremely rare special individual. She had made a huge profit today.

Jibril, her beautiful face shattered by her rising desire to fight, brandished a scythe made of spirits and charged towards Zeus.

The powerful blow, capable of tearing through space, was gently contained by Zeus's two outstretched fingers, preventing it from advancing an inch. Then, with a flick of his fingers, Jibril was sent flying backwards by the immense force. Like a stone skipping across the sea, she rolled hundreds of miles before finally coming to a stop.

As soon as she stabilized her body, Jibril, with the help of the spell, pounced on Zeus again.

"Instead of running away in fear, you rushed towards me again?"

It was this trait of not being afraid in the face of powerful enemies, as if she had no fear at all, that allowed Jibril to defeat many enemies far stronger than herself in the past, becoming a unique individual among the [Flügel].

"How can I get your head without getting close to you?"

To show his respect, Zeus decided to use his most powerful weapon, the Great Thunderbolt, to bring down the Whip of Defeat on Jibril.

Under the terrifying violence of [Great Thunder], even if Zeus restrained his strength, the sickle in Jibril's hand, which was condensed with the power of the elves, was easily shattered. Unparalleled light and heat traveled through Jibril's limbs and bones, completely crushing her internal organs.

But the greed and bloodthirst in Jibril's eyes as she stared at Zeus remained unchanged.

"Unknown strong man, come and witness my final blow."

Even though her body was already broken and she might die instantly from launching this attack, Jibril still used the power of the [Flügel] granted by their creator [Artosh], which was enough to burn the entire ocean, [Air Strike] without hesitation.

The halo above Jibril suddenly expanded, transforming from white to a solid color. The wings behind her turned purple-black, gleaming with veins that channeled the power of the spirits. The powerful force caused the air to converge towards her...

"【Sky Strike】."

As Jibril fell, [Sky Strike] slammed towards Zeus fiercely.

However, this time, Jibril's desperate attack did not kill the enemy who was far stronger than her as usual.

As a bolt of lightning was thrown out from Zeus's hand, [Sky Strike] was pierced through. Then cracks spread from the hole pierced by the lightning, until the entire [Sky Strike] completely dissipated, and the shrunken Jibril fell heavily to the ground.

Hubie and Zeus came to Jibril who was lying on the ground.

"you lose."

"What an incredible strong man! Yes, I lost. Come on."

Jibril closed her eyes and waited for the slaughter.

However, Zeus had other plans for the [Flügel]. Compared to the bloodthirsty berserkers on the battlefield, the [Flügel]'s average scholarly talent was more valuable in Zeus' eyes. Among them, Jibril was particularly special. Compared to other [Flügel], she possessed a [heart] that disobeyed orders. In other words, she was freer and more creative than other individuals. If this characteristic, combined with her racial talent, could be properly utilized, she could become a so-called [Genius] (Knowledge Envoy).

After a while, Jibril did not feel her life slipping away and opened her eyes in confusion.

"why?"

"I need you."

"Impossible. Everything I have was given by Master Artosh."

"I have endless knowledge and endless fighting here."

Jibril was visibly shaken after hearing Zeus' words.

"What is your creator, Artosh,'s greatest wish?"

“Find someone who can defeat Him.”

Jibril, who answered Zeus' question subconsciously, suddenly opened her eyes wide and then calmed down.

"You wish to challenge Artosh-sama... That's right, perhaps you can achieve victory."

"After Artosh's defeat, have you considered what will happen to the Flügel?"

"What a strange question. I can't even imagine that Artosh-sama will be defeated. But by then, my sisters will probably commit suicide one after another, and I'm sure they will be no exception."

"You don't want to see your sisters commit suicide, do you?"

"Indeed, but we are Artosh-sama's weapons. If our master dies, the weapons will have no meaning."

(In the original work, Artosh should have had feelings for the Flügel, and before disappearing, he even found a reason to let the Flügel live.)

"I will ask Him for you, and I will inherit His concepts and continue to wield you."

After hearing what Zeus said, Jibril's eyes changed when she looked at Zeus, from initially looking at a strange and powerful man to examining her new master.

"If you can really do it, then I will be looking forward to you, oh no, the day when you wave me."

After experiencing various entanglements with his bandmate and godman, Arnold resolutely decided to leave them and embark on a journey to London.

When he boarded Black Mamba Flight 824, he felt a little uneasy.

After flying for a while, the plane finally crashed. Before losing consciousness, Arnold shouted, "In my next life, I will never form a band with you geniuses again. Of course... except for Lenai."

After wandering in endless darkness, Arnold finally woke up and found himself in a strange yet familiar world.

Everything he saw shocked him - Lenai, Xiangzi, Lixi... these familiar faces have now become girls.

Faced with all this, Arnold made a declaration of victory after his rebirth and awakening.

"It will win."

However, the gears of fate did not stop turning.

When he met Chihaya Aine, who looked very similar to him, his heart was stirred again.

Chihaya Anon: "You are Chihaya Anon (anon), then who am I?"

Chihaya Aine; "You are Chihaya Aine (anon), then who am I?"

You are Chihaya Arnold, then who am I?

Chapter 31: Sail Tower

As expected, all the races that did not want to participate in the war fled the Lucia continent and its surrounding areas, which was about to become a battlefield, while the three races at the core of the war increased their investment and even invested all their efforts.

On the one hand, the [Elves] and [Fairies] formed an alliance, and at the same time, in order to resist the [Dwarfs]'s air fleet, the number of contracts with the [Dragonites] increased.

On the other hand, the Dwarfs, in addition to their good relations with the Giants, also recruited a large number of Phantasms as their companions.

The two major factions, wary of each other's possession of god-killing weapons, have occupied the Lucia continent as a base to confront each other. There, lies the world's most powerful force, the [Old Deus] who possess the [Flügel] - the [Artosh] faction.

As for the [Flügel] and their creator [Artosh], they remained inactive as usual, waiting for the two challengers.

In this world that has endured countless years of war under the suppression of the Star Grail, no one can defeat Artosh, who holds the concept of war.

Relying on the concept of [War], [Artosh] always managed to outmaneuver his enemies. It could be argued that no one in this world could defeat him in direct combat. However, the [Star Grail] still hadn't appeared before him. He wasn't strong enough to be considered "the world's greatest power."

If the [strongest] Artosh isn't strong enough, what kind of power could reveal the [Star Grail]? If Artosh's [Divine Strike] isn't enough, then add Kainas's [Void Zero Protection] and Okan's [Skull Explosion]. If that still isn't enough, then there's Zeus's [Great Thunderbolt]. Such a force is powerful enough to pierce the Spirit Corridor. In a sense, it's a force that can bring down the world.

Zeus, Rick, and Hubie's plan has brought together all the power that can be gathered. What is lacking now is how to reproduce and use this power.

Love alone is selfish, and no one wants to share their love with others, but for the sake of victory, Shubi took the initiative to propose to reconnect with the Ex-Machinas and share their hard-earned heart and love.

This proposal was naturally rejected by Zeus. According to the plan, in order to use the power sufficient to manifest the [Star Grail], [True Codex Starkiller] was needed. In addition to obtaining the permission of the highest-authorized [Ex-Machina], there was another way to obtain [True Codex Starkiller]. There was a life form with higher authority than all [Ex-Machina].

The creator of the Ex-Machinas, the Goddess of Doubt, was given the name "Hall" (Hollow) in a distant future without Zeus. The original prototypes of the current Ex-Machinas were five small machines she created to observe and analyze the world, hoping to have a conversation partner who could answer endless questions.

The original five small machines were unable to answer all the questions, and the inability to define themselves caused [Hanlou] to fall into deep self-doubt. The doubt about her own existence once pierced her own essence and she fell into a deep sleep. Now Zeus has awakened her again.

The remains Zeus had obtained after negotiating with the Ex-Machinas were more of a concept than a body. He used this concept as the core to build a body for Houlou that could withstand the consciousness of the resurrected divine essence.

"I have penetrated my own essence and fallen into an eternal slumber. Unknown life, can you answer my questions by waking me up?"

"Of course."

"How will the answer be conveyed to me? Through language, data, or some other medium?"

If love for a single individual is selfish, then love for countless individuals, that is, for a group, is selfless and can be shared.

Zeus gently lifted Fanlou's chin with his right hand.

How can we convey the interaction of the heart? Since the beginning of primitive barbaric civilization, the contact between limbs and mucous membranes has contained emotions that cannot be expressed in words or records.

At this moment, Zeus intends to use this method to tell Hanlou what the [heart] is and its core - [love].

With the close contact, Hanlou felt the [heart] of Zeus and his broad [love] - attachment to his mother, passion for his wife, kindness to his children... and the selfish [love] that belonged to Zeus alone for Hanlou.

(In the original work, this is probably the meaning. The core meaning of "heart" is "love".)

Although there was no verbal communication or written record, there was no doubt that Fanlou had deeply felt the vast and selfish "love" from Zeus.

When this exchange of [love] ended, Hanou's eyes, which were as empty as those of Hubie at the beginning, became lively. When the two just separated, Hanou stretched out his hands and hugged Zeus' neck, and couldn't wait to have a second exchange.

"Is this [heart], is this [love]? It's so satisfying, so sweet. Unknown life, please stay by my side forever."

Chapter 32: War

"I'm sorry, but I can't agree to your request."

Hearing Zeus's answer, Houlou became visibly flustered.

"I can agree to all your requests. Please stay with me."

Hanlou's slender arms tightly grasped Zeus, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes due to anxiety and fear.

After going through countless suspicions and questions, the [heart] and [love] that she finally obtained have become the most important things in Fanlou's heart, even surpassing the life she had long given up.

His current life is nothing more than a necessary carrier for Fanlou to experience [heart] and [love].

Zeus hugged Hanlou, who was afraid that he would leave, in his arms and gently stroked her head with one hand. With Zeus' comfort, Hanlou's trembling body slowly calmed down.
