Chapter 226: Zeus' Ultimate Form—Adamas!
The rock-like muscles that had previously seemed ready to explode disappeared, replaced by what appeared to be a shriveled body.
His entire form looked dehydrated, somewhat like a mummy.
This appearance was so terrifying that not only humans but even the countless gods on the divine side couldn't help but hug themselves and tremble.
It felt as if the temperature around them had dropped to an extreme, making them shiver from the cold.
But in reality, their bodies were trembling instinctively from fear.
And the source of this fear was none other than the current Zeus.
At this moment, he could no longer be described as a god among gods. Instead, he could only be described with a term humans often use when facing the unknown and fear—monster!
"I can't move at all."
The murmuring voice came from a girl who appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen years old, with twin tails.
In her original world, she held the prestigious title of one of the Four Great Satans, but her true strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Satan—she was one of the four great pillars of the demon world.
Despite her status and having encountered many chief gods from various mythologies, the one who had given her the most overwhelming pressure was—Shiva.
Yet now, facing this version of Zeus from another world, even from such a distance, the oppressive aura he emitted caused her body to freeze in terror, refusing to obey any commands from her brain.
When facing Shiva from her world, although she knew the gap in their power was vast, she had never been so terrified that she couldn't move at all.
This showed just how abnormal this world's Zeus was!
What level of power did this Zeus possess?
At least Dragon God level, perhaps even reaching the realm of the Three Pillar Gods from another world!
"Ugh~"
That was Irina's small whimper as her legs gave out, causing her to collapse to the ground.
Not only her, but also the young mage girl Le Fay, who was even younger, similarly slumped to the ground as if paralyzed.
As for Rossweisse, though her legs didn't go weak, she was trembling somewhat.
As for the otherworldly shrine maiden, she had just collapsed to the ground as well.
"This power is almost on par with the Demon God Seraserabes," she murmured softly.
Thus, Safara desperately wished for this confrontation to stop right there, hoping it wouldn't continue any further.
No matter which side emerged victorious, it would be a tremendous loss for this world.
Thus, she still couldn't comprehend why both humans and gods had gone mad.
"Sister... Sister Brünnhilde, what is this?"
The Valkyrie Göll, collapsed on the ground, trembled uncontrollably.
Not only was her body shaking, but it felt as though her very soul was quivering.
The God of Gods who represented order now appeared like a destructive demon god, utterly terrifying.
"I don't know either!"
Brunhilde responded with a bitter smile.
Although she had anticipated that such a chief god would possess some extraordinary secret technique, she never expected it to be this horrifying.
This seemed no less terrifying than Satan from the second round!
"What divine majesty is this? What's going on with Father's form?"
Ares from Greek mythology shouted in confusion once again.
"I said, could you shut up? If you keep making noise, I won't mind killing you!"
These sudden words instantly silenced Ares, for the one issuing this threat was Lord Poseidon—a man who meant what he said and truly dared to kill him.
"Adamas, this is Zeus's final form!"
Someone explained, causing Ares to freeze momentarily, because the person explaining had once been known by the nqame Adamas.
So, what significance did this hold?
"There's no special meaning. It's purely named in memory of a fool."
Poseidon, seeing through his thoughts, spoke with disdain, which made Adamas's expression turn sour.
In the past, he had resented Zeus becoming the ruler of Greek mythology, believing him unworthy of the position.
Later, he realized that Zeus had been lenient with him out of respect for their brotherhood.
And now, for Zeus to resort to this form and wield the Lightning Sword, this human was truly exceptionally honored.
He had already surpassed many chief gods!
Thus, this human would go no further.
"King Arthur, catch this."
The moment Zeus uttered these words in a hoarse, eerie voice, he vanished.
When their vision caught his figure again, he was where King Arthur had been standing, but King Arthur was gone.
Had he dodged it?
Then, the earth let out a mournful wail as an abyssal fissure stretched toward the horizon.
In the blink of an eye, another shocking scar marred the surface of this star, no less severe than the previous one.
So, what exactly had happened?
Only after the commentator's explanation did they understand: Zeus's attack had simply charged straight at King Arthur and delivered a straightforward slash, resulting in this devastation.
And almost no one could perceive this—even some chief gods, enhanced by the Akashic System, couldn't see Zeus's movement at all.
The gods who could clearly see it were few and far between!
"I thought you'd grown old, but it seems you've improved a bit."
The one who said this was the four-armed God of Destruction—Shiva.
Thus, he too yearned to have a proper fight with Zeus.
Unfortunately, the current battle of Ragnarök was not a clash between gods, but between gods and humans.
Therefore, he eagerly anticipated the human representative for the seventh round!
He truly couldn't contain his excitement!
"L-Lord Shiva, please restrain your aura!"
Several gods nearby suddenly fainted, while others appeared as if crushed by immense weight—their bodies nearly buckling and contorting!
This could only mean Shiva had truly reached his limit.
"My apologies~"
While apologizing, Shiva suppressed his power once more.
Hmm? He also narrowed his eyes, staring at the figure emerging from the depths of the fissured earth—King Arthur.
Under Zeus's strike, a wound had been carved into his chest as well, though not as severe as Zeus's injury.
Had it not been for the sword in his hand blocking the attack, this blow would have likely cleaved him in two.
Moreover, due to the overwhelming force of Zeus's strike, Arthur's sword had been driven deep into his own body.
His internal organs were probably severely ruptured, with countless ribs shattered.
Any ordinary human would have undoubtedly died on the spot.
But even though Arthur survived, he was likely at his limit.
In this condition, he definitely couldn't withstand a second strike from Zeus!
"Hmm?"
In the Norse spectator stands, Odin, who had barely managed to attend, narrowed his eyes slightly.
Did this King Arthur fellow have a hidden card up his sleeve?
Blue flames erupted from his wounds, seemingly burning them away as they healed.
The flames continued to blaze.
So that's it—Odin understood now.
From this perspective, the seventh match could only end in two ways!
Either the gods win, or it ends in a draw!
