Type-Moon Simulation: Starting with Conquering a Greek Goddess!-Chapter 308: Romantic Gemini

[Demeter spoke of the impending twilight of the gods.]

[But in reality, the time concept of the machine gods is different from that of ordinary people; their "soon" could mean a few decades at the shortest, or hundreds of years at the longest. This is a very vague meaning.]

[The Olympian gods have sailed through the stars for many millennia.]

[A mere few hundred years is just a blink of an eye for them. It hardly counts as a long time.]

[A hundred years should not be expected.]

[You are so certain of this. Because, in previous simulations, the battles with the gods occurred several decades after the founding of Pelasgi.]

[Now, you have calculated the date]

[The Argo is about to set sail, and you also think it's time for you to board this great ship]

[You have brought Persephone with you]

[You will embark on the Argo with her, together creating an extraordinary epic of adventure]

[Even after experiencing so much]

[Whenever you recall your time on the Argo, you can't help but smile nostalgically]

[—That was the beginning of your journey to becoming a hero]

[Completely unburdened, just pure passion and camaraderie with friends as you ventured across the world]

[No enmity with the gods of Greece]

[No burdens of an insurmountable fate]

[You simply wanted to find a cure for the Gorgon sisters, and thus embarked on your adventure without hesitation]

[—The drunken and rowdy Jason, the disdainful Atalanta and Asclepius, and Heracles, who gazes gently with arms crossed...]

[These are precious scenes in your memory]

[Moreover, the heroes on this ship are not limited to just them; there are countless interesting stories within]

[You remember the two very special individuals on the ship]

[No, to be precise, they were originally gods, but lost their purity due to human belief]

[Brother Castor and sister Pollux]

[They are inseparable siblings]

[In later generations, the king of the gods, Zeus, named this pair of twins the Gemini and unified the stars of the two independent constellations into one]

[They are called the Dioscuri]

[The Dioscuri are prototypes of young riders or ancient twin gods in the form of horses, said to be saviors for humans in peril during war or at sea]

[People believe that in storms, the light emitted from the top of the mast, known as St. Elmo's fire, is their appearance as guides for ships]

[Initially, the twins existed as local gods]

[Like the Gorgon sisters]

[The mechanized fleet descended upon Greece, wiping out most local deities, but not all were seen as threats]

[The twins are among these surviving ancient gods]

[However, there is one very regrettable point]

[Although the twins did not perish in the catastrophe brought by the mechanized gods, they fell to humanity due to the degradation of human belief]

[People did not worship them as gods]

[But regarded them as equals]

[Thus, the divinity of the twins deteriorated]

[By the time you boarded the Argo, the elder twin Castor had already degraded into a human]

[The sister Pollux still retained a faint trace of divinity]

[However, conservatively estimating, it was only a matter of time before the twins fully degraded into humans together]

[It was precisely because of the unwarranted faith offered by humans]

[That they, who should have been gods, fell into a state of regression, and thus the twins harbored a burning hatred for humanity]

[In the memories of the Argo]

[This pair of twins was also quite reclusive in nature]

[Verbally, they were merciless towards the humans on the Argo]

[But after experiencing a journey together]

[The siblings became soft-hearted despite their sharp tongues; they appeared to disdain the crew, yet were unhesitant in saving lives]

[Whenever the Argo faced storms]

[The twins would manifest as the protectors of sailors, and each time they weathered the storm without incident]

"Truly... such gentle siblings..."

"Yeah, if they hadn't experienced the degradation of divinity, they probably would have become the twin gods who loved humanity."

Moran and Persephone sat on the ship.

Their destination was Iolcos.

The Argo's initial departure point was there, and as one of the original crew members, he remembered it very clearly.

"Moran, what happened to the twins in the end?"

Persephone couldn't hide her curiosity.

She had been listening to Moran tell stories all along.

Moran, like a golden house filled with countless treasures, always brought out something that dazzled her.

"Hmm, after I left the Argo, I only heard legends about the siblings. If I'm not mistaken, it should be that the sister Pollux received the inheritance/blood from Zeus...

But in the end, she was elevated by that old man Zeus to become the constellation of Gemini, to commemorate the bond between the siblings."

"Wow... isn't that romantic...!"

Persephone revealed a bright smile.

She had originally thought this story would be a tragedy, but after hearing Moran finish, she felt relieved.

Overall, she was happy for the twins.

"Yeah, it's very romantic; later generations think of the story of Gemini this way..."

Moran nodded lightly and said.

But in reality, what was the true situation?

[Due to lacking Zeus's bloodline, the brother Castor, who became a legend as a son of humanity, turned the humiliation of falling from godhood into resentment, transforming into a vengeful spirit]

[Due to possessing Zeus's bloodline, the sister Pollux, who became a legend as an immortal, transformed into a warrior with an uninjured body and exceptional swordsmanship, carrying the sorrow for her brother and fighting continuously]

[The deeply bonded twin siblings]

[Because of the whims of fate, they walked different paths, and their hatred for humanity was inscribed on the records of their realms]

[The sister Pollux does not despise humanity]

[However, she weeps for her brother's fate]

[You did not tell Persephone the truth, as you did not want her to show a sad expression because of it]

[More than half of Greek mythology is composed of tragedies]

[No one can deny this]

[Even the dazzling and glorious Argo, its true composition is a vortex filled with destruction, desire, and hatred—the karma of all humanity]

[To call it a den of demons would not be an exaggeration].
