The agricultural goddess Demeter had already been slain.
The remaining gods, heeding the command of the Almighty Great God Zeus, were sparing no effort to hunt down Nameless and all of Chaldea.
In the scene.
Europa could be seen conveying Zeus's divine oracle—
"This is the divine oracle, this is the revelation, this is the moment to praise the Almighty Great God."
"Spare no effort! The entire Chaldean invasion force must be eradicated!"
Under the divine oracle of the Almighty God, countless ordinary citizens initiated a manhunt, assisting the deities in searching for Nameless and his companions.
In the sky above, Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love who resembled a blue butterfly, had already located Nameless and the others, descending with overwhelming force.
Her mechanical voice rang out coldly: "Demeter's defeat stemmed from 'love'—her divine core twisted by it. But I, who command beauty and love, shall never waver!"
"Contamination unleashed!"
Hum~
The majestic power of the Goddess of Love swept recklessly through everything around.
Under this terrifying assault of a chief deity's authority, Mash clutched her head in agony: "Senpai, a voice is exploding violently in my mind!"
Unable to comprehend or resist, they could only endure passively.
Mash felt her magical energy running wild, her combat strength drastically weakened.
"Damn it, what kind of cursed thing is this? Even I can't withstand it!" Kainis roared in fury.
As a deity herself, she was utterly powerless against it.
The contamination, potent enough to destabilize her divine core, rampantly eroded her body.
Even the mighty Miyamoto Musashi fell into illusions induced by the mental pollution, recalling past ordeals.
Without even laying eyes on the Goddess of Love, the Chaldea team was brutally ravaged by her attack.
Nameless solemnly warned: "Everyone! This is a mental assault from the Goddess of Love—it will shake your spiritual foundations and magical energy!"
This mental attack truly lived up to its name as an "intelligence-reducing aura."
It was akin to a hacker flooding a server with useless, repetitive data to cause a crash.
Similarly, the mental attack forcibly flooded minds with vast amounts of information.
Thereby forcibly reducing one's intellect, magical energy, and more!
Nameless, with his extraordinarily resilient will, remained completely unaffected by the mental assault.
But the others couldn't.
Especially Mash, who suffered extreme agony, her spiritual attire completely dispelled.
The only silver lining was that against this lunatic attack, Nameless had found an expert.
He pleaded: "Nero, I beg you—use your Muse-rivaling perfect voice to save everyone!"
"Umu, you truly are my performer! Only I can appreciate my own singing!" Nero replied with a delighted smile.
Having previously responded to the summons, she had unexpectedly arrived in the perilous Fifth Lostbelt.
By sheer luck, hiding underground had allowed her to evade the team's annihilation.
Upon meeting Nameless, she eagerly joined him, determined to assist in safeguarding humanity.
Nero gracefully swayed: "Behold my talent! Hear the applause of ten thousand thunders!"
"Embrace the glory of a ruler! Bloom like a flower!"
"Let it commence—"
[Aestus Domus Aurea]!
Countless crimson rose petals swirled.
The pitch-black underground base abruptly transformed into a resplendent, luxurious theater.
It was the ancient grand structure of the Roman Empire—
[Domus Aurea]
Everyone was drawn into the Golden Palace, compelled to witness the magnificent performance.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Every door and window of the Golden Palace slammed shut instantly.
Thoroughly eliminating any thought of the audience leaving midway.
Only by enduring the entire performance could one exit this Golden Palace!
Nero stood center stage, amidst a shower of rose petals, unleashing her sweet voice with full vigor.
Under her "enchanting" vocals...
One by one, the heroic spirits who had been suffering from the mental attacks of the Goddess of Love began to relax their furrowed brows.
They were saved from the terrifying mental assault.
However.
The onlookers instantly erupted into an uproar—
[Damn! They're really fighting poison with poison! Your Majesty Nero, don't sing—we're on the same side!]
[Ahhh! Your Majesty Nero's singing is so beautiful, I'm moved to tears!]
[Dammit, Nameless, are your ears broken? Is this something humans should listen to?]
[Unforgivable! Why does Her Majesty, who's so beautiful, spew ancient god language the moment she opens her mouth?]
[For the first time, I've found a heroic spirit I adore, and I get to hear her perform. Two wonderful things combined... Why did it turn out like this?]
...
In the Golden Palace of Rome in reality.
Nero, who had become the Roman Emperor after the Age of Heroic Spirits descended, said with great pride: "See, Nameless has always appreciated my singing voice!"
Back in the previous Singularity, Nameless had shown particular appreciation for her too.
This made her regard him as her crucial [Master].
The so-called [Master] is actually what people in China call a "soulmate" - someone who understands your music.
Their souls intertwine, making them the perfect couple.
"Indeed... quite special." The Divine Ancestor struggled to find an appropriate adjective.
As the Roman ancestor she worshipped most, he began to question his life.
Was this really his descendant?
Clearly, every member of the Roman imperial family was skilled in singing and dancing, so why did your generation suddenly fall so far?
No!
This wasn't just falling behind - this was clearly turning into a mental attack!
Others sing for money, but you sing for lives!
Nero's smile grew increasingly proud and confident: "After the video ends, I shall hold a concert and invite heroic spirits from all over the world to attend!"
She never expected that the video released by [Alaya] would feature her appearance.
It was practically a perfect advertisement for her.
Instantly spreading her beautiful singing voice throughout the entire world.
Once she holds the concert, it's bound to attract countless fanatical admirers!
"You..."
The Divine Ancestor hesitated to speak.
In terms of mysterious confidence, this descendant was indeed his successor.
The problem was,
why couldn't you hear the problem with yourself?
The so-called "everyone is drunk except you"?
The Divine Ancestor felt a splitting headache.
After this video, wouldn't the number of tourists visiting Rome plummet by more than half?
However, it seemed he would make an appearance later?
To confront the omnipotent great god Zeus who rivaled the Evils of Humanity, they must summon a Grand Servant.
And he was the perfect candidate to face Zeus!
Nameless painstakingly built seven small summoning circles, combining them into one large summoning circle.
Most likely to summon him at the Grand level.
He hoped that by then, he could restore at least a little of Rome's reputation...
...
In the video.
Nero's concert successfully counteracted the terrifying mental attacks of the Goddess of Love.
The plan to fight poison with poison succeeded!
Nameless immediately issued the command: "Twins, activate the [Sevenfold Linked Heroic Spirit Cannon]!"
Boom!
The powerful weapon created through the joint efforts of the twins from Pan-Human History and the local world roared to life once more.
Unfortunately.
The Goddess of Love, like a phantom, silently evaded this fatal blast.
Completely unharmed!
Aphrodite declared with extreme arrogance: "Mortal, Demeter may be shaken by 'love,' but I absolutely cannot be!"
"Oh, is that so?"
Nameless stood at the highest point of the Golden Palace, looking up directly at the deity above.
Then.
He said with a smile, "Since you are an intelligence research vessel, I'd like you to study me a bit."
Just as Artemis is a [Sniper Execution Vessel],
Aphrodite is a sub-intelligence warfare type attack craft.
She excels at gathering various kinds of information to launch fatal mental attacks.
However,
during the previous war among the gods, her divine core had already been tampered with by Zeus, leaving only her cruel side intact.
All pursuits of love and beauty were completely abandoned!
"A mere mortal, what right do you have to demand my study?"
Aphrodite remained as cold and detached as ever.
Despite her words, she instinctively began scanning, intending to study him.
This individual from the Pan-Human History was regarded as the last hope.
By eliminating him, the Greek Lostbelt could completely replace Pan-Human History.
This was the very reason Zeus was willing to go to any length to eradicate him.
Bzz—
A wave of mental scanning swept over him.
Suddenly, Aphrodite froze slightly.
For on him, she actually saw her own blessing!
Yes, the other party possesses the blessing of the Goddess of Love—
[Beautiful Youth: EX Rank, you shall enjoy the adoration of all people and the entire world!]
This youth clearly shares some intimate connection with the Him from Pan-Human History!
Through this blessing projection, the Goddess of Love glimpsed the countless bonds enveloping the youth.
They were affections from countless parallel timelines, admirations from innumerable individuals.
A perfect hero blessed with the love and beauty of countless souls!
Nameless spoke calmly, "Now you understand, without love, you are merely a puppet!"
"Puppet... puppet... I am not... I am..." The Goddess of Love's voice suddenly became fragmented.
The Goddess of Love, possessing powerful intelligence-gathering abilities and terrifying mental attacks,
actually fell into a system crash after scanning and studying Nameless.
In this scanning process, she recovered part of her lost self.
This created a command conflict with the programming Zeus had tampered with!
"Poor enslaved puppet, let me grant you liberation."
Nameless issued another command, "Twins, fire!"
Boom!
The [Sevenfold Heroic Spirit Cannon] roared once again.
This time,
the Goddess of Love couldn't evade at all, her outer defenses shattered by the blast.
The next moment, the previously tormented Miyamoto Musashi charged forward furiously: "Go to hell!"
A swordsman who had fought her way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, nearly defeated by mental attacks—
this was utterly unacceptable to her.
Simultaneously,
Caenis spread her golden wings wide, equally enraged as she launched her assault.
She found the Goddess of Love's humiliation even more intolerable than Musashi did.
Clatter~
Nameless summoned the [Chains of Heaven], transforming them into golden bindings that wrapped around the goddess.
"Mash, in the name of Command Spells, fire!"
Nameless once again burned his life force, converting it into Command Spell enhancement.
Vast magical energy poured violently into Mash's body,
making her transform once more into her Dark Shielder form: "Command Spell loading complete! Commencing!"
[Black Barrel (Barrel Replica)!]
A black light shot straight into the heavens.
Piercing through the gruesome wound created by the [Sevenfold Heroic Spirit Cannon], it completely penetrated the goddess.
The mighty Goddess of Love, a principal deity, had her divine core utterly destroyed by this blast!
But in her final moments,
the Goddess of Love finally regained clarity: "So I had already died long ago. What lived on was merely a manipulated puppet."
"Nameless hero who brings love and beauty, thank you for freeing me!"
"May your path ahead enjoy endless adoration~"
No hostility remained, only boundless gratitude.
After the previous war among the gods, the Goddess of Love had already perished.
What existed now was merely a puppet—a divine core altered by Zeus, enslaved as a weapon!
Another deity had fallen!
The audience instantly erupted—
[Damn, using mental attacks countered with mental vocal prowess—the Goddess of Love was conquered by Nameless through love!]
[Do you even understand the worth of a Crown-ranked beauty! Nameless is the beautiful youth blessed by the gods!]
[Tch, just how many girls' hearts has Nameless collected along his journey?]
[Don't limit it to girls! Qin Shi Huang, King of Heroes, and Enkidu have something to say!]
[Hahaha, if this were the Matchmaker tying red strings, wouldn't Nameless be a complete tangled mess?]
[A workman must first sharpen his tools if he is to do his work well. Had we possessed these two weapons earlier, we wouldn't have lost so many people.]
[Don't dwell on it. Before the creation of the Sevenfold Linked Heroic Spirit Cannon, over twenty heroic spirits were sacrificed!]
...
Amid the audience's enthusiastic discussions.
In the video.
After slaying the Goddess of Love, Nameless attracted the fierce assault of the Twin Gods.
This time, having just expended too much energy, the group unhesitatingly chose a strategic retreat.
An old acquaintance appeared, helping them successfully escape.
The one who intervened.
Was none other than the A-team Master candidate from the Fourth Lostbelt—
Pepe Ronzino!
This A-team traitor said with a cheerful smile, "To repay the kindness you showed me before, I'll lend you a hand this time as well."
Back in the Fourth Lostbelt.
The Lostbelt King, God Arjuna, forcefully took away his only servant.
And nearly killed him.
Forcing him to cooperate with Chaldea to jointly defeat God Arjuna.
After that.
Pepe Ronzino declared war on Chaldea.
After Nameless defeated him, he did not kill him.
Allowing him to be taken by Koyanskaya to the Captain's Fifth Lostbelt.
Pepe Ronzino continued, "Both Kadoc and I are envoys of the God of Smithing. We can take you to him for enhancements!"
"Very well, please lead the way," Nameless calmly agreed.
Causing Mash and Da Vinci behind him to show slight tension.
Fearing they might be tricked and delivered straight to Zeus.
As he led the way, Pepe Ronzino gave a brief explanation.
It turned out.
The God of Smithing previously encountered on the Atlantic was just a backup.
The true core entity was still on Olympus.
Under his guidance.
Nameless met the God of Smithing, but noticed something peculiar.
He frowned slightly and asked, "Should I address you as the God of Wisdom or the God of Smithing now?"
"Either is fine. I am now both Prometheus and Hephaestus," the other replied in a mechanical voice.
Prometheus was the wise sage who bestowed wisdom upon Greek humans.
And stole the heavenly fire.
During the previous war among the gods.
Having sided with humanity, he was mercilessly destroyed by Zeus.
He merged with the God of Smithing, awaiting the arrival of humanity's final hope.
Nameless requested, "Please help us upgrade and enhance our armaments."
The God of Smithing, now endowed with Prometheus's wisdom, had received an epic boost.
Naturally, this opportunity couldn't be missed.
At his request, the other agreed without hesitation and activated the forging mode.
Just then.
An uninvited guest arrived.
He had fiery red hair and a bare chest with clearly defined abdominal muscles.
Despite his youthful appearance, he spoke in an aged tone: "Excellent, this old man has finally met the true God of Smithing."
"Who are you?" Mash instantly raised her shield, asking with extreme tension.
This uninvited guest's arrival was too abrupt.
She hadn't detected him at all.
If an attack were to occur, it would definitely threaten her and her senior's safety!
"In the domain of the God of Smithing, isn't it normal to have a blacksmith like this old man?"
The youth continued in his aged tone: "Let me introduce myself simply. This old man is called Senji Muramasa."
