"When we return to the palace later, tell that to Atalanta, and I guarantee she will be moved to tears."
"Ahahaha, I'll try my best. I also know that I'm not very qualified as a god, but a goddess who can think of the children is a good god, right~! I hope you, Darling, can teach me what to do."
Artemis snuggled into Moran's arms again.
Like a lively teenager.
"Yes, to love the believers from their perspective, as a god, that is already very excellent..."
Moran showed a gratified smile.
[You look at various records of gods]
[Gods who abuse humanity with arrogance and cruelty are everywhere, and those gods are different from the arrogant Zeus]
[Bullying humans may simply be for fun]
[Zeus truly loves humanity]
[He is even willing to give his life for humanity]
[From this point alone, at least respect should be given to this great God-King. However, He is just a bit too arrogant and doesn't trust the things He loves enough.]
[The Outer God, the Machine God, deeply loves humanity]
[The native gods, however, do whatever they want to humanity]
[Like the native gods in Sumerian mythology, Moran thinks of how the gods there destroy humanity every now and then, and his own Artemis is simply winning too much against them.]
"Darling, do you think Father, Zeus, will also be resurrected as a conceptual god like me?"
Artemis suddenly asked this.
This is indeed a question worth considering.
Moran couldn't help but fall silent again.
As the last human to fight this great god, he could not forget the existence of Zeus.
"In the end, I relied on the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception to cut off the death of Zeus and Hera. From the source, they cannot be resurrected... But, if from another perspective, not resurrection, but rebirth, then I can't be sure."
Moran also stated his speculation.
What is certain is that the Machine God Zeus will not be resurrected. The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception hit the death of the ship named Zeus.
Zeus and Hera are still worshiped by the Greeks today.
They will not be resurrected as Machine Gods, but as conceptual gods inheriting the memories of the Machine Gods. This is possible.
The resurrected Zeus and the Machine God Zeus are not the same entity, but it cannot be ruled out that He inherits most of the memories of the Machine God Zeus. If you pursue it seriously, it is a question related to philosophy.
That is, the typical Ship of Theseus theory.
This is not what Moran needs to think about.
"However, there's no need to worry too much. If it's Zeus and Hera without their true bodies, then they won't pose a threat to us. Demeter and the others still hold their true bodies. Zeus, without his past strength, can't mess around."
"Hehe, that's right. I do hope Father can reflect a little. After dying once, He should understand that spoiling humans is not okay, right?" ??Artemis sighed helplessly.
She knows how stubborn Zeus is.
Even now, she is not sure if Zeus will completely let go of the matter of the revival of mythology.
"By the way! There's one more thing!"
Artemis suddenly exclaimed.
This made Moran quite concerned.
"Hehe, I remembered! When I left last time, I didn't just take Darling's soul~
I saw it! You shed tears for me at that time, Darling!"
Moran couldn't help but tense up.
He thought Artemis hadn't noticed, but now it seems he was completely careless.
"Ah, so touching, to make Darling shed tears like that for me, thinking about it, even dying once was worth it!"
"No, those weren't tears, you saw it wrong, it was just the reflection of soul fragments. Idiot, don't get sentimental."
Moran's anger overwhelmed his shame.
He couldn't help but glare at Artemis.
However, Artemis's eyes did not waver because of this, but instead looked very happy.
"Hmph, Darling is so mean! You're usually so harsh to me, but at critical moments, you're still very honest, aren't you? I will store that in the depths of my memory as a treasure for life! Absolutely, absolutely will not forget!"
"Tch, I wish you could forget it."
Moran faced the moved Artemis.
He turned his head uncomfortably.
An uncomfortable feeling was piling up in his chest, a chaotic emotion mixed with shame.
Presumably, this is the boring self-esteem of men.
It's really helpless.
"Darling, are you admitting it?"
"I'm not admitting it."
"Okay, seeing you shed tears for me, Darling, whether as a goddess or as a wife, I am very happy. I just want you to know this. Ehe~!"
Artemis took a deep breath and straightened her posture.
As if declaring victory.
But the full smile was like surrendering.
"I love the hero/you who has such feelings for me and continues to fight for me like that.
Moran's chest felt like it was stuffed full.
The previous chaotic feeling also disappeared.
"Really... to this point... okay...
Artemis, I love you. So... don't put on such a show for me again in the future. I won't cry for you, because I won't let such days come to us again."
Moran maintained a trace of stubbornness to the end.
Both sides took a step back.
"Okay~ Then Darling, where are we going next?
We're not going back to the palace so soon, are we? If we're going back, I'll have to ask someone to teach me how to cook.
Hmph, I said I would offer you a meal, right?"
Artemis let go of his hand.
That joyful figure dancing under the moonlight, that figure, was dazzling as if it couldn't be looked at directly——
"If you want to cook, there are many roads to take. You need someone to check on you properly."
"It doesn't matter, the power of love is the most important! From now on, let's always be together. Darling, you have to take responsibility for me."
Artemis took Moran's hand.
Pulling him out of the forest.
The sound of "Hurry, hurry" kept coming from her mouth, like an energetic child who couldn't wait to go to the amusement park.
He didn't know what to start with.
He also didn't know where he would go with her.
"Ah, then I really have to be prepared..."
Moran showed a happy smile and followed her steps.
In fact, he felt that it didn't matter what he did, the important thing was to be with the person he loved.
There were many firsts waiting for them to do.
Just that made him feel full of meaning and energy.
——Looking up at the full moon, ah, I never noticed, tonight's moonlit night is so beautiful and dazzling.
