Chapter 249 - [249] The End of the "Olympian Gods" [2]

Egypt.

Even Ramesses II, who proclaimed himself the King of Kings, standing above all gods, stared dumbfounded at the screen.

"He actually won? He slew Kronos alone?"

It was an incomprehensible miracle!

After all, during his battle against the Lion King, this man had nearly sacrificed himself.

"Clearly, he relied on the blessings of the Twelve Olympians! In terms of true strength, I remain the mightiest!"

Ramesses II declared with conviction.

To slay Kronos with a single strike was an exaggeration beyond imagination.

Even he couldn't accomplish such a feat!

If it weren't for the blessings of the twelve main gods, granting him power beyond human limits, how could he have delivered such an earth-shattering sword strike?

Beside him.

The elderly Grand Assassin clad in heavy armor and wielding a massive greatsword: "Oh? What did you say? My hearing isn't what it used to be. Could you repeat that?"

"???"

Ramesses II looked at the old assassin gripping his greatsword, clearly ready to strike at the slightest provocation.

As the mighty Sun King, when had he ever endured such insolence?

Most importantly, this was his grand temple—how could he possibly fear you?

He was merely showing respect for your age by not making an issue of it!

"That child has truly grasped the ultimate secret of assassination, touching upon the Concept of [Death]!"

King Hassan gazed with admiration at the youth on the screen.

The ultimate essence of assassination lies in mastering the Concept of [Death], slaying enemies at their very origin.

No matter how you evade, it's all futile.

During his battle against the Primordial Mother Tiamat, he had used his Grand Saint Graph as the ultimate catalyst to unleash a Grand strike that shocked the entire world.

Even the unbeatable Beast of Humanity was bestowed with the Concept of [Death] by him.

In other words—he made her HP bar visible!

Now, the nameless youth had used the blessings of the twelve main gods as his ultimate catalyst to deliver that world-shaking sword strike against Kronos.

This was equivalent to the level of a Grand Assassin!

"Nothing special. If I had received the blessings of the twelve main gods... Never mind, I don't even care!"

Ramesses II snorted coldly.

Watching the barrage of comments praising the nameless youth made him feel like he'd eaten a lemon.

Truly sour!

Back when he unleashed his ultimate move [Dendera Light Bulb], he hadn't received such praise.

Noticing the assassin beside him had left, Ramesses II crossed his legs again: "Hmph, I am the true King of Kings. When it's time to face the Beast of Humanity, I'll show the world my true power!"

"That nameless brat and the Grand Assassin... Just wait until I properly renovate my grand temple—"

Just as he was about to say more, he suddenly noticed Nitocris staring blankly at his side.

The supposedly departed old assassin was still quietly standing beside him.

He'd just moved from the left side to the right!

King Hassan said calmly: "I've decided to visit you more often for... extended discussions. Are you moved?"

???

You never left?!

Ramesses II instantly felt his composure crumbling.

Straightening his posture into a regal stance, he declared with utmost arrogance: "I am the incarnation of the Sun God Ra, surpassing all deities—of course you're welcome to visit often for discussions!"

"..."

Nitocris remained silent.

Using the most domineering tone to say the most submissive words—was this really appropriate?

Her king was just as tsundere as the King of Heroes!

...

The video reached its conclusion.

After slaying Cronus, the nameless youth's body could no longer sustain itself, suffering grievous wounds.

A host of deities immediately rushed to his side.

Artemis, the Moon Goddess, even cradled him in her arms, letting him rest against her ample bosom.

Demeter, the Goddess of Agriculture, began healing him, channeling vast amounts of life energy.

Even Apollo—who had previously been wary of the youth stealing his sister's affection—approached to fervently heal him with solar energy.

In this moment, Nameless became the absolute protagonist, overshadowing all the deities present.

For this savior of the world, such treatment was only natural.

Had it not been for Nameless stepping forward to slay Kronos, the Olympian gods would have been completely annihilated!

Humanity would have been enslaved, until they grew accustomed to their servitude!

The messenger god Hermes began driving his chariot, proclaiming to all: "This is the triumph of the king, rejoice! He is the King of Heroes who stands above all others, surpassing even the gods!"

"At this moment, he has slain Kronos who returned from hell for vengeance, and a new chapter of history begins!"

Even though Nameless always wanted to remain an anonymous hero.

But how could such a monumental feat of saving the gods ever be forgotten?

Nameless struggled free from the Moon Goddess's enthusiastic embrace: "Now that the anomaly is resolved, we should take our leave."

A golden Holy Grail had already fallen from Kronos's massive corpse, successfully retrieved through Chaldea's transmission channel.

Zeus, the King of Gods who had been blasted into Mount Olympus, dragged his injured body forward with a smile: "Travelers from another time and space, please carry the blessings of the gods as you go to save the collapsing history of humanity."

Even the mighty King of Gods had to acknowledge their debt.

Without their assistance, he too would have perished without exception.

All the Olympian gods looked upon them with admiration.

From treating it as a game with casual indifference, to now taking humanity seriously with full attention.

Nameless's decisive intervention had shown them the boundless potential humanity possessed.

Potential that surpassed even the gods!

No wonder the Demon God King Goetia sought to ignite human history as the ultimate fuel, to become the true master of this planet—

Gaia!

Humanity's potential was simply too vast.

Leaving even the gods in awe.

Athena smiled gently: "Rest assured, with the anomaly repaired, we shall watch over the development of human civilization."

This was a Singularity created by the Demon God King Goetia.

Had Kronos succeeded, it would have fully developed into a Lostbelt, bringing human history to an end.

But now, everything was over!

Kronos was slain by Nameless's own hand, the Demon God King's scheme was foiled, and the Holy Grail taken away by Chaldea.

All would return to normal.

Athena could already see the future where gods and humanity would go their separate ways.

But this was perfectly normal.

Ever since being defeated by the Seraph and forced to abandon their mechanical bodies to merge with the native Greek deities, they had known this day would come eventually.

Humans would ultimately become the protagonists of this world.

The gods would retreat to the Reverse Side of the World, completely separating from humanity.

The deities bore no resentment.

In fact, they were grateful to Nameless for saving them.

"Thank you for your assistance. Without you, I could never have slain our foe." Nameless clasped his hands in farewell.

Having completed his mission, there was no reason for him to remain.

At that moment.

Under Apollo's resigned gaze, Artemis the Moon Goddess rushed forward yet again.

"Wait for me, Nameless! I will definitely come find you!" she declared loudly.

As the Goddess of the Hunt, no prey could escape her grasp!

Hum~

A mysterious and powerful teleportation began.

Nameless and Mash's figures vanished without a trace.

The gods stood atop Mount Olympus, waving their farewells.

In the final scene.

The huntress and the little princess finally arrived from the distance, watching their departure with utter despair...

The screen gradually darkened.
