[DROP] Supreme World'S System (Supreme World System)
Chapter 74 ~ Reasons To Help (?)

"Athena, explain the strategy you've put together!" zeus' orders to Athena.

"All right" replied Athena.

Then, Athena stood up while picking up a piece of paper.

"As you know, Leonidas will have no major effect in this battle. But we also cannot be careless. The Transcendents must have grown stronger since the last battle millions of years ago."

"...."

"...."

"...."

The other Gods listened carefully.

"Then, there's one problem right now. One of the strongest forces we have, the army led by Ares probably won't come. But, according to my analysis, Ares has been detected near Planet Ares, just a moment ago. Most likely, he was fighting with one of the Transcendents who had arrived there."

"..."

"...."

"...."

The expressions of the Gods were still calm.

"Alright, the discussion related to the problem, just get here first. Next, we will discuss the opponents we will face."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"First, Zeus. Since Leonidas won't be active in battle, you'll help others if they're in trouble."

"Hmmm, okay. I accept," Zeus replied in a dismissive tone.

"... Next up is Poseidon. Considering you belong to the 3 strongest Gods and Gods who specialize in water fields, you will fight against Mizan Noura."

"...." - ".Poseidon remained silent without responding.

"Next, the third is Hera. You're an expert in magic. Therefore, you will fight the powerful Noir in the field of magic as well. However, being weak in battle, you'd better bring a bodyguard to take care of you."

"Sigh, yes, yes." Hera looked furious in response to Athena.

Then, the discussion continues with the following summary.

•ermes against Lide.

•Aphrodite against Purla.

•Apollo and Hephaestus against Kas. (Men wearing black and white clothes and mottled skin.)

•The temp against Mary.

•The Cafra fight against Cafra.

•The Hades against Hage.

1 Hour later …

"All right, enough of it. Since Ares was absent, it was most likely due to fighting against Gorm who was skilled in close combat. Whereas I will lead the army and assist you in battle."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Then, Athena sat down while putting the paper down.

"...!" Athena surprised.

When he was about to sit down, he briefly saw Zeus smiling arrogantly. Zeus never made a smile like that.

'Is that maybe my feeling?' think Athena.

Athena did not bother about it anymore. Then, Zeus placed his elbows on a round table and hugged his fingers.

"Alright, everyone has been given their own roles. Now, go back and prepare your own best troops. After that, I'll give you a cue to open the Greater Gate to Planet Ares" Zeus said with a solemn face.

Then, the Gods simply replied with their own distinctive features.

***

The same time that Zero just started evolution.

"Yahoo!"

Ares hit Gorm hard in the face.

"Ughhh!"

Gorm who failed to hold on, groaned and tried to defend his horses.

"Haaah .. haaah .. haaah ...."

"Haaah .. haaah .. haaah ...."

Both of them floated in space with messy armor.

Blood came out of Gorm's nose and mouth, while Ares was only in his mouth.

"Yahoo!"

This time, Gorm advanced by flying and headed towards Ares at a speed exceeding that of light.

"VOID DRAGON FIST!!"

SWUSSHHHHHHHHHH!

Gorm's Transcendental Energy, which was green, turned dark purple. Then, that energy created an illusion that made Gorm's hand become like the head of a dragon that was opening its mouth.

"...!"

Ares was shocked and covered his head with both hands.

Bam!

Gorm's fist pierced through Ares's second-hand defense and hit Ares right in the face.

"Kuh!"

Swosh!

Ares crashed very quickly and hit the moon.

Booooms!

Explosion without sound occurs.

Craters appear on the moon orbiting the planet Ares. The moon is almost the same size as Earth. However, the crater created from the impact of Ares, about a quarter of it. It also caused the moon to shift several tens of meters from its orbit.

Gorm paused for a moment to look at Ares. Then, he darted back to Ares.

'The Void Dragon Fist is a punch made by my master. He was inspired and created this punch while dealing with the Dragon King Vail. At that time, he had trouble dealing with it. However, due to this blow, he managed to defeat that Dragon King. And again, this punch is able to rival Leonidas' Overking Lion series, Gorm murmured inwardly.

You may be wondering, Why can Gorm think faster than the speed of light?

The reason is there is only one. He is a Transcendent.

All beings who have become superior entities are able to think very quickly. It even exceeded the speed of their bodies moving at a speed that exceeded that of light.

'Supposedly, Ares would have been jolted with the punch earlier. Given that he was a Myth God, he would definitely be exposed to a paralyze effect for at least 0.3 seconds, ' Gorm thought.

On the other hand, Ares who had managed to reduce the damage from Gorm's attack, still got serious injuries.

He was covered in the dust of the moon. In the middle of the group, Ares suffered broken bones in both hands and his nose was crushed.

Ares groaned in pain, "Ugghhhh."

However, Ares was able to endure that pain and immediately got up.

Then, Ares turned both his hands towards Gorm who was checking on him.

Ares muttered, "War Destroy ...!"

The golden energy set began to gather in front of the two palms of Ares. At first, the golden energy was only as small as mustard seeds. However, without requiring a second, the golden energy that enveloped Ares gathered on him and became the size of a baseball.

'I hehehe, this is the original magic that I developed myself. Utilizing the unique characteristics of my mana, I condensed the mana to become extremely dense with the smallest size possible. Then, when the density has reached its limit, this mana condensation will explode. However, I was able to control the explosion, Ares said with a smile on his face.

Just then, Gorm shot towards him with incredible speed.

"Discharge!" shouted Ares.

Swoooshes!

A laser beam of gold shot out from the golden sphere and aimed directly at the heart of Gorm. As a result of that speed, space became twisted and distorted.

"...!" Gorm surprised.

He instantly stopped thanks to the acceleration speed of the mind. But that's not enough. He can't escape. There's only one way.

'What's that!?' gorm shouted in his mind.

Gorm immediately made a green-colored barrier from his Transcendental Energy.

Pyars!

Like the sound of broken glass, Gorm's barrier shattered instantly.

Gorm was hit by Ares' attack.

He spewed blood. However, Ares's attack missed the intended target.

'Ughhhh, fortunately I managed to shift the path of the laser attack. If not, I might die.'

The attack had only penetrated Gorm's lungs. The chest armor became hollow and blood came out.

Gorm immediately suppressed his wound and used healing magic to speed up the regeneration.

On the other hand, Ares is happy.

'As expected of my rivals.'

Ares who had recovered, shot straight towards Gorm.

'But my strength is not just that!'

Ares's eyes glowed. His iris turned into a shining golden color.

'Golden eyes, activate!'

Using all his strength, Ares clenched his hand with all his might and hardened his hand. Suddenly, he was getting faster.

"...!" Gorm surprised.

After healing his wound, Gorm instantly pulled his body to the side.

As a result, Ares's attack is missed and Gorm captures Ares's hand.

"What!?"

Gorm smiled and used his knees to strike Ares' chest.

"Back!"

Ares smiled as he was attacked.

"...!" Gorm was surprised.

Ares turned his hand to escape from Gorm's grasp and pushed his body upwards from behind.

"Kick style, back kick under-attack!"

Then, Ares kicked Gorm with the soles of his feet like a salto to the back.

"Look!"

Gorm jerked in surprise. His head hit Ares' kick and his vision became a little blurred.

Then, Ares continued his attack with a hard blow to Gorm's chest.

"Back!"

Ares stopped for a moment and used his nurse.

"Ultimate Slaughterer …!"

A dazzling golden punch, attacking Gorm blindly.

"… The Fist of One Billion Soldiers Slaughterer!"

It was the slaughtering blow 1 billion soldiers Ares used in fighting his enemy. The more enemies, the stronger the attack power will be created.

"...."

Bam, bam, bam!

Gorm wasn't even allowed to make a sound. There was only an unstoppable blow.

'S-shit! I can't move my body!?'

Apparently, Gorm was paralyzed when he got a counterattack from Ares.

After a few seconds, Ares stopped beating and retreated a few steps back. The gorm that had become like a washcloth was unable to move.

"Ultimate Slaughterer …!

Ares' right hand hardened to the limit.

The blue Cosmos energy scattered in space, gathered on Ares' fist. So did the golden energy that enveloped him.

Then, the two energies gathered and revolved in Ares' fist.

Gorm detects an attack that is capable of killing him. Immediately, Gorm awakened his consciousness and tried to move his body.

Gorm's body trembled as it moved stiffly. However, he is a Transcendent. He was able to overcome mental-related trials. Even though they had to face the greatest trauma they had ever experienced, they were still able to overcome it.

Gorm finally raised his hand forward.

Then, Gorm went to great lengths to endure the pain and controlled Transcendental Energy to create a barrier.

His green Transcendental Energy gathered together with the blue-colored cosmic energy. The two energies gathered together and formed a circular shield that was like a convex mirror.

Now, Gorm's shield became cyan in color, as the harmoniously aligned cosmic energies and Transcendental Energy, united in harmony. Whereas, Ares' fist did not fuse his cosmic energy and magic energy. However, Ares balances or stabilizes the two energies so that the lack of each energy can be covered and the excess energy can be improved in quality.

Defenses that have the nature of unity and balanced attacks, collide with each other.

Boom up!

A very big explosion happened.

"Back!"

"Back!"

Explosive power and pressure from the blow made the two people get a recoil or kick-back effect that makes them experience internal injuries and vomit blood.

Swooom!

Explosions exceeding 10 tons of nuclear bombs occurred near the moon and near the atmosphere of Planet Ares.

The moon shifted again from its orbit and the atmosphere of Planet Ares became chaotic for a while.

On the other hand, Ares and Gorm bounced away and crashed into several asteroids until they came to a halt in one of the large asteroids.

Both of them may fall to the opposite place. However, the conditions they experienced were the same.

They are quite severely injured due to the effects of recoil on the body. Their bodies are as messy as a washcloth. Their heads were bleeding and many bones appeared to be broken.

Although they were superior beings with regeneration speed beyond common sense, they still needed quite a long time to repair internal injuries.

The internal injury referred to this time is not an internal organ. Except their souls.

This was the effect because it used the cosmic energies used to attack and defend. If they had not been hit by the blast, they probably would not have suffered internal injuries. However, they were hit by the explosion from a very close distance to its core.

As a result, they need several hours to recover.

***

The Planet Ares …

"I'm asking you. What are you helping us for?" ask Noura.

"...."

The Transcendent stared at Zero with a serious expression. As a result, the atmosphere became quiet and tense.

The Transcendents were waiting for a satisfactory reply from Zero.

On the other hand, Zero fell silent and thought quickly, using thought acceleration.

'In the beginning, I will only control the territories in the God World. I just need to hunt to become a God Human. However, when I escaped from the Furry Family residence, I finished off the Guardians of The Great Forest Berm. As a result, the array of runes engraved in their souls were destroyed and the Predator-preventing barrier of the Gods appeared.

It was Titan. The enemies of the Gods and the strongest beings after the Gods. I escaped from one great Titan and took out one great Titan.

Finally, I managed to get out of The Great Forest Berm thanks to Balph's help. I lived safely at that time. However, unexpectedly, the enemies of the original race of the Balphs appeared.

Right, it's Lamy. Son of Lamia, God of half-snakes. I fought and almost finished him off. However, an unexpected event happened.

Mizan Noura the Transcendent appeared and hit me very hard, when I almost finished off Lamy. As a result, I was seriously injured. Thanks to the system, I recovered.

I asked for compensation from Noura. However, I did not expect that he would attack me. Even so, I managed to hold on and I have decided my wish for compensation.

His compensation was to ask himself to be a partner.

Noura told me a lot about the world. However, unexpectedly, this World of Gods had a history similar to Greek Mythology.

Just the existence of the Transcendent alone, things I do not know.

Long story short, we meet the strongest Transcendent, Leonidas and the God of War Ares. Finally, the battle between the Transcendents and the 12 Olympian Gods began.'

Zero looked at the faces of the Transcendents.

'Then, what is the reason I helped them?

Is it because of empathy?

Is it because of my desire?

Is it because of The World Truth?

No, no, that's not my excuse.'

Amidst the silence and tension, Zero finally opened his mouth.

"My reason is just one."

"...."

"This is the only 'road' I can take now."
