The king of this Lostbelt is Zeus, an all-powerful god[sr]who naturally still possesses his original mechanical body. [k] @L:A.I.

[k] [charaFadeout L 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut T 1200,1200] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Mash It looks like this is information we already knew. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Holmes Zeus... An omnipotent god who has[sr]continued to exist for millennia. [k] @Holmes If we are to take his “omnipotent” nature at face value,[sr]then we would seem to be well and truly outmatched... [k] [charaFace E 6] @Holmes And yet, Mr. A.I., I cannot imagine that the electricity expert whose visage you now borrow... [k] @Holmes ...would waste his time challenging an opponent[sr]whom he truly has no hope of defeating. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut T 1] [charaTalk L] [charaFace L 1] [charaFadein L 0.1 1] @L:A.I. ...Hahaha! You cut right to the heart of things, don't you? [k] [charaFace L 0] @L:A.I. Still, I can hardly blame you for interrupting, Mr.[sr]Holmes. You have every right to be concerned. [k] @L:A.I. And you're correct. Your hope of defeating Zeus is small[line 2]perhaps even infinitesimal[line 2]but it does exist. [k] [charaFace L 5] @L:A.I. Zeus is indeed almighty,[sr]but he is not truly omnipotent.

[k] @Mash ...he doesn't technically rule[sr]over absolutely everything? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] ?2:So, he can do all sorts of things, but he can't do everything?

As King of the Gods, Zeus possesses Authority over infinite things, but conceptually, he does not possess infinite Authority. [k] @L:A.I. We believe that Zeus turned into a nigh omnipotent god by synchronizing all of the Titans' Authority with his own... [k] @L:A.I. Followed by the many lesser gods' Authority...and[sr]ultimately, even his fellow Twelve Olympians' Authority. [k] @L:A.I. That much, at least, would seem to be a matter of little doubt. [k] @L:A.I. But, conceptually, he is not truly omnipotent, and so does not have control over all things and beings in this world. [k] @L:A.I. At least...that's our working theory.

And yet, he has no awareness of this underground infrastructure. This was the domain of Hades, his fellow god, and he doesn't even bother to look at it! [k] @L:A.I. From this, we can surmise that the gods of Olympus are[sr]conceptual deities, like those from other mythologies... [k] @L:A.I. ...And, simultaneously, that they depend on Klironomia[line 2]their Authority-like functionality[line 2]from the enormous mechanical bodies they used as ships to cross the sea of stars. [k] [charaFace L 2] @L:A.I. That is where our chance of defeating Zeus lies! [k] [charaFace L 0] @L:A.I.

Foooooou! [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 6] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Mash You mean, Kirschtaria formed a contract[sr]not with a Divine Spirit...but a god!? [k] @Mash But... But that shouldn't even be possible... [k] [charaFace D 7] @Mash G-granted, there's no way to test that for sure[sr]given that gods don't exist in our own time... [k] @Mash ...but theoretically speaking, forming a contract as equals is...! [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 4] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Musashi Okay, hang on.[sr]Let me make sure I've got all this straight. [k] @Musashi You're saying this Kirschtaria guy formed a contract not with a Divided Spirit, but with an actual god, right? [k] [charaFace G 9] @Musashi And not just any god, but a demiurge that's[sr]as big a deal as the Vairocana? [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Holmes Full marks, Ms. Miyamoto. In fact, from an esoteric[sr]Buddhist perspective, it was a truly perfect answer. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut T 1] [charaTalk L] [charaFace L 0] [charaFadein L 0.1 1] @L:A.I. That's right. Zeus is neither a Divine Spirit[sr]that returned to nature, nor a Divided Spirit. [k] @L:A.I. He is a proper, almighty god... [k] [charaFace L 2] @L:A.I. And Kirschtaria Wodime has formed a contract with him! It puts him on completely equal footing with Zeus as his sworn friend, no less!

[k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Kadoc Wodime's been clear about his goal from the beginning. [k] @Kadoc “We are about to fill this world with inhuman Mystic[sr]secrets. We will restore the Age of Gods.” [k] @Kadoc And if this Atlantic Lostbelt ends up becoming the new[sr]proper timeline, that goal'll pretty much be fulfilled. [k] @Kadoc He formed that contract with Zeus to be certain this Lostbelt's Tree of Emptiness would grow bigger as soon as possible. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Kadoc ...But even with all that said,[sr]there's something that doesn't add up. [k] @Kadoc A Lostbelt needs its Tree of Emptiness to maintain its existence. But that doesn't change the fact that, as far as that Lostbelt's king is concerned...

[k] @Kadoc I might not be a Crypter anymore,[sr]but that doesn't mean I want to go back to Chaldea. [k] @Kadoc I can't trust either side,[sr]and I'm sick of being somebody else's pawn. [k] @Kadoc If I'm gonna fight back, I'm gonna do it on my terms.[sr]So much more badass doing it like that, anyway.
