He looked at Zeus beside him and spoke to the god at the summit of Olympus in an equal tone:
"Chaldea has arrived in Atlantis, and the plan can begin."
Zeus did not show any other emotion because of the man's tone; on the contrary, he seemed to be in a daze.
The man also noticed that something seemed off about Zeus, so he asked:
Is something wrong?
"...No, let's proceed according to the original plan. I just suddenly sensed something was amiss; it seems some data..."
Zeus gently swayed his body, not finishing his sentence.
The man merely glanced at Zeus briefly, without asking any further questions.

The fourth level of the Great Library of Alexandria.
Finally, the computer's operation was suddenly disrupted, and some unknown external force brought it to a standstill.
The originally tight logical chain was broken, and the thinking of the alchemists assigned by the Atlas Institute collapsed as a result, showing signs of madness.
"Cognition... Error... Retry..."
"Refuse...try again..."
"Permission denied..."
Three distinct electronic voices rise and fall, like an entangled illusion.
The sounds intertwined and collided, materializing in the air into crystal-clear ancient Greek letters, floating in the disordered data stream.
As energy rapidly depleted, the computing power of the computer became chaotic, and the tower of logic collapsed into primitive random computation.
The formulas and lights flashing in the space were like the chaotic feedback of a low-level AI, each flash carrying an unbearable sense of collapse.
However, the chaos did not last long.
because--
Miraculous.
It only takes a moment.
The energy required for the entire system was replenished at an incredible speed!
The withered crystal forest emanated an almost incandescent light, as if some kind of pure energy had been injected into this area from the depths of time and space.
The originally dim array of symbols was gradually ignited by scorching light. Elgo's body, which was shrouded in black miasma, trembled a couple of times before returning to the calculation state.
"Energy replenishment...complete."
"Computing power recovery... System-wide optimization in progress."
The black miasma spread more and more violently, its internal light patterns reorganized, expanding like a nebula, transforming into a huge phantom that covered the entire space.
Ancient Greek letters and alchemists' formulas intertwine to form a strange array, constantly flashing with a brilliance that is hard to look at directly.
Ptolemy and Tsbia stood on the edge of the radiance, gazing at the ever-changing symbols and structures, their expressions unusually synchronized—
Because they all realized that it didn't belong to either of their two options.
The objective of the calculation has been altered...
.........
Typhon, empowered by Matouchi, finally reversed the myth this time.
As the powers devoured each other, the mechanical constructs slowly merged into Matou Ike's body.
The raging magma slowly receded under the suppression of Typhon's power.
However, the phantom in the sea, which was materialized from the spiritual veins, did not return to the earth like the magma.
on the contrary.
Matouchi even saw this massive spiritual vein begin to power the Grand Library of Alexandria again.
It just looks much gentler than the previous situation.
Meanwhile, through the communication channel constructed by the Command Seals from the first episode, Medea was synchronizing with Matou Ike the changes on the fourth floor of the Alexandria Grand Library.
Matou Ike also learned that the final computer was actually reconstructing an alternative model structure.
What exactly does Gaia want to do?
There is no way of knowing about Matouchi.
We can only speculate based on the available intelligence.
Why should he, who possesses the symbol of Typhon, be sent to devour Zeus's remnants?
Is it simply to reverse the original course of the myth?
This perspective doesn't seem to offer any answers.
Matou Ike's brows furrowed even more as she began to swim toward the Grand Library of Alexandria.
He needs to see the model in person.
.........
Shion had somehow gotten behind Kiz, the magician of the Wandering Sea.
An etheric thread silently probed toward Kiz's temple from a place invisible to the naked eye.
But Wuzhiqi, who was standing to the side, reached out and grabbed him.
"Ah, Miss Shion, what are you doing?"
Kiz only noticed the commotion behind him after Wuzhiqi made his move.
It must be said that Shion's talent as an alchemist is outstanding; she almost succeeded in such a tense atmosphere.
If Wuzhiqi hadn't had his Fiery Eyes constantly on alert, he might not have been able to detect her movements.
“I’m starting to have some doubts about your motives, Mr. Kiz.”
Even after being exposed, Ziyuan remained calm.
"My motive? What motive? I'm only here as a witness to Kurdris. Everything that happens afterward has nothing to do with me."
Kiz smiled faintly.
His words were perfectly correct, without a single flaw.
The magician from the Wandering Sea has been observing the events unfold as an outsider since arriving here.
There was no bias towards either side.
Or rather, the actions he needed to take had already been completed long before the matter even began.
"Is that really so, Mr. Kiz?" Ziyuan gritted her teeth and glanced at Wuzhiqi, who was holding the ethereal thread.
She wanted to ask something, but seeing Wuzhiqi beside her, she hesitated to speak.
After all, this matter involves pan-human history.
Kiz seemed to see through her concerns, and still had that smile that made you want to punch him.
He said:
"Don't worry, this matter probably won't have a big impact. You might even forget about it by tomorrow."
"Can you really rest easy?!" Ziyuan suppressed her anger at the guy in front of her and asked, word by word.
"Really, really, and this is a good thing for both you and me..."
Kiz looked at the constantly calculating magical models in the sky and spoke slowly and deliberately.
Actually, there was half a sentence he didn't say—
"This is a great thing for the planet itself, but I don't know if it will actually succeed."
Shion looked at Kiz's face, but at that moment her mind was repeatedly pondering those words.
Her focus wasn't on the "good thing," but rather on the phrase "your side and my side."
You should know that the Wandering Sea exists independently of time.
There is no true sense of belonging...
When this man speaks of "my side," is he really only referring to the Sea of Wandering?
Chapter 436 Pharaoh vs. Alchemist
Kiz is right.
Ziyuan also knew his character.
Although they wanted to ask more questions, they had to give up for the time being due to Wuzhiqi's presence.
But not everyone can simply watch the changes unfold before them and continue like she did.
Both Ptolemy and Tsbia were old foxes who had been around for a thousand years.
The moment this change occurred, it became clear that relying on a final computer to evaluate which solution was superior had failed.
Their original intention was simply to compete for the final ownership of the Great Library of Alexandria through "judgment".
Thus, they can achieve their respective goals.
It seemed as if they had a tacit understanding.
After looking at each other.
The two set off almost simultaneously, without any hesitation, as if they were of one mind.
The target was the black miasma that was currently enveloping Elgo, which was that unknown divine body.
This divine body occupies an important place in their respective plans.
It doesn't matter if it's something that supports the operation of the final computer.
As long as I can get it!
