"In my view, Artemis's level of madness is no different from the Zeus in your memories. Machine gods should never have loved humanity. Because once we understand this emotion, we can never return to being cold machines."
The voice of Hephaestus was no longer cold.
It seemed to contain a hint of lament.
However, this expression of emotion was only momentary; the next second, he returned to an extremely calm tone:
"Divine Armament. Full Moon—serves as both protective armor for the gods and a specialized composite heavy bow for the gods.
I have uploaded the operating methods to the armor's information terminal. You may need some time to learn and adapt to using this divine armament. This armor also incorporates the memory information provided by Artemis, which will be useful when you confront Zeus."
Now, the divine armament had been created.
It could not be thrown back into the furnace to be melted down.
It was a manifestation of Hephaestus's support, and Moran would not waste Artemis's intentions.
"Wow…"
As Moran reached out to touch the armor, it utilized technology beyond human comprehension, instantly arming his entire body along his arm.
The sturdy skin clung tightly to the silver armor.
It was both sacred and majestic.
The ethereal glow emitted was as pure as the full moon and as fiery as the flames within a furnace.
The past hero ascended to a new level.
At this moment, he possessed a solemn beauty of silence; each piece of armor radiated a divine aura capable of slaying stars.
"The divine armament possesses two great legacies/bloodlines.
The first characteristic of my special legacy, the Tios, is enhanced durability. The second characteristic of Artemis's legacy is improved combat and defense capabilities at night. If you have the opportunity to obtain other deities' legacies in the future, they can also be absorbed by your body.
Athena's Legacy — Overall enhancement of combat abilities and skills.
Hades's Legacy — Simulated immortality.
Zeus's Legacy — Overall enhancement of abilities.
Poseidon's Legacy — Enhanced combat abilities at sea…
The fire god Hephaestus explained in detail.
[This set of divine armaments gathers the power of two main gods, and even the materials are derived from Artemis's body.]
[There are hardly any armaments that can be considered more advanced than this.]
[It would not be an exaggeration to call it Artemis's sub-body.]
[As for the legacies mentioned by Hephaestus,]
[In reality, this is blood that possesses the characteristics of the gods, a nano-metal that flows from their bodies.]
[It not only grants the user immense power,]
[but also possesses the properties of a universal elixir.]
[This armor is part of Artemis's body, and it can produce "blood" by absorbing moonlight.]
[Its functions in all aspects are incredibly powerful.]
[It is truly an unexpected great gift.]
"…Thank you, I will accept it."
"No need to thank me; this is for our future.
Moran, your power is indispensable. What I want to say is that after calculations, in the current state, the gods will still be unable to create a next-generation universal medicine to replace this nano-machine even after ten thousand years.
That is the limit of the gods, the endpoint they can reach. This meaning is the same as extinction for us."
The fire god Hephaestus has already realized the future of the machine gods.
It can be said that he can almost see the end at a glance.
Humans will lose possibilities under the great tree known as the machine god; things that could have been done will no longer be possible.
"Hephaestus, I have one last question.
The god of war Ares. You know where he is waiting for me, right?"
"The god of war Ares. You can find him in the Amazon; the Amazon is the domain of the god of war Ares. There, there is also a temple that serves him. Your information terminal has detailed coordinates."
"I see it. I will head to the Amazon next… Let's say goodbye here, Hephaestus."
"From now on, it's up to you. As for the other gods, Artemis and I will handle the negotiations."
[The fire god Hephaestus's system goes offline.]
[The temple returns to silence once again.]
[You examine the armor on your body, still warm from the heat, and can't help but smile wryly at Artemis's recklessness.]
[Then, you browse the information terminal's data.]
[You try to use this divine armament.]
[It not only possesses excellent combat capabilities but also has outstanding mobility; soaring through the sky is not a problem.]
[With the target given by Hephaestus,]
[You awkwardly operate this divine armament while rushing towards the coordinates located in the Amazon.]
[In mythology, the god of war Ares is the ancestor of the Amazons.]
[He loves humanity and once reached Mars.]
[This crimson war god once threatened humanity but was also distanced from them; however—there are those who offer him glory.]
[Now you are advancing towards his domain.]
[You are equipped with a mech forged from the moon god's body.]
[In an instant, you arrive at the Amazon.]
[In just a few minutes, this is still the situation where you piloted the mech multiple times, overshooting and then circling back to the Amazon.]
[If you were to fly at full speed with this divine armament, you could probably tour Greece in just a few minutes.]
Boom—!!
A silver meteor streaks across the night sky.
It arcs down, landing on the coast near the beach.
The powerful impact instantly creates giant waves dozens of meters high, swallowing the trees at the shore in the blink of an eye.
"—Tsk… This Greek technology… really isn't easy to control…"
Moran slowly stands up from the surface of the sea.
The silver armor is absorbing moonlight, and at this moment, he shines like a gem on the water's surface.
Moran had once studied Titan technology.
But that was merely a mimicry, not the same as the cutting-edge technology of the machine gods.
"Up ahead should be the Amazon… If I'm not mistaken, the temple's coordinates are right there…"
Moran takes a deep breath.
He focuses his gaze on the land not far away while concentrating on controlling the armor to release magical power.
The surface of the sea is constantly rippling.
Then, Moran explodes like a cannonball on the water's surface, turning into a black dot flying towards the land.
On the helmet's display screen.
The light point representing Moran's position continuously approaches the target, and in just a few seconds, he will reach his destination.
However, the premise for safely arriving is that he must be able to hit the brakes…
