Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Seek out powerful and handsome beings, whether gods or humans, and use their power to bewitch them, then create a mental illusion that makes them believe they have been united with the god of love.

Everything that people and gods saw was only what Aphrodite wanted them to see.

This is the terrifying nature of the concept of beauty.

Even Zeus, the king of the gods, didn't notice anything amiss.

He deliberately fabricated and spread rumors that were unfavorable to himself, making everyone believe that he was a slut.

Even her sons were created by splitting them apart using her divine power.

This is all to reduce the attention of powerful gods who have designs on them.

Clearly, Aphrodite succeeded.

Compared to her, the gods now prefer the radiant Artemis, who is like a white moonlight, and the wise, powerful, and dazzling Athena.

Public buses are naturally less appealing than private cars...

Knowing this perfectly well, Aphrodite continued her pretense.

This time was no exception. She pretended to be very interested in the mortal boy in front of Hermes and immediately descended to the mortal realm.

But upon meeting Yoru herself, the aura of (Rome) made her involuntarily reveal her genuine affection.

She wanted to get close to the child... for no particular reason, just that being by his side made her feel very comfortable, as if she no longer had to hide herself or live with a mask on.

Aphrodite was deeply saddened after vaguely sensing the night's rejection and even its hidden disgust.

Her sensitive nature led her to consider that possibility—

Is it because of its own legend?

But Aphrodite couldn't explain anything; she could only try to move the night with her sincerity.

Just as in the myth, she did for Anidos, the only boy who could win the heart of the god of love, who was heartbroken and fainted several times when rejected, and who risked his life to rescue Anidos after his death, even venturing into the underworld.

In the myth of Aphrodite, other 'lovers' are only mentioned briefly.

Only the story of Adonis occupies a significant place in its mythology.

As for Ye, he didn't understand what this goddess of beauty was all about.

But at this moment, he learned that Adonis did not exist, especially when Cupid suddenly said, "There is only one you who could be Adonis."

A vast, invisible yet substantial force of destiny suddenly descended upon Ye. In that instant, the overwhelming cause and effect nearly crushed Ye's soul.

grass--!!

After sensing the source of that cause and effect, Ye was almost stunned and cursed inwardly.

Greek, Roman, ancient Babylonian, and many more mythological systems.

Among the many mythologies, there are different names and life experiences, but there is only one story that remains eternally unchanged.

Anchored in the long river of mythology, it belongs to a legend that can never be changed.

No, it's not that it can't be changed, but rather that it's a crucial segment, as important as a period of historical transition in human history.

Regardless of how different parallel worlds may be, they tend to converge in major historical events. Once this historical trajectory is altered, human history may be led to a completely different and seemingly different era.

Aphrodite—in Rome she was Venus, the goddess symbolizing Venus and Friday.

From the Greek era to the Roman era, almost all the gods had corresponding constellations and dates, and took on entirely new appearances.

It's like a sublimation, or a rebirth.

As for the goddess of Venus, this legend even influenced several neighboring regions, causing them to take on new forms after being passed down in other mythologies.

Like the Great Silver Woman of ancient Babylon, who also married the 'plant god' and was forced (by the gods) to go to the underworld to save people, Ishtar.

The biggest difference between this and the myth of Venus is that one loves the goddess of plants, while the other does not.

Similar figures include the Phoenician goddess Astartes and the Assyrian goddess Barīrītu.

Adonis, the sinful son of beauty, is the original sin. His attraction to Venus brought him down from the universe to Earth, where he completed his mission of redemption and caused the distinct changes of the four seasons.

Although different mythologies have different legends, different gods caused the division of the four seasons in the human world.

However, there aren't that many myths with multiple similar figures and similar mythological experiences.

This special and crucial juncture was something that Ye had never paid attention to before, had no interest in the mythical story of his affair with the god of love, and was only aware of.

He was truly shaken now.

Wait, what's going on?

Night can probably confirm that Adonis no longer exists in this world.

Otherwise, based solely on the goddess's words, there would be no way he could have been recognized and given such immense power of destiny.

Night, who had no idea what use this force of fate was, thought about how, in any mythological world, plant gods were tragically destined to be imprisoned in the underworld for at least four months a year in their later stages.

night:……! !

NM got scammed.

Xiang Lai was always the one swindling others, but one day he was swindled himself.

Ye's expression was particularly interesting for a moment.

If he were strong enough, he would just want to smash the head of this troublesome goddess with one punch.

Chapter 75 The Scorpius Nebula Shines, Hermes: Who Made That Goddess So Angry?

Adonis—!

This is an incredibly powerful divine force, which would be considered explosive in any mythological system. What could it bring him?

Is it the allure that is even more bewitching than the concept of beauty, or the fate that will inevitably attract women, be pursued by the goddess of Venus, and be cuckolded many times?

If it were the Ishtar from the neighboring singularity who had already become Rin, he could accept it, but if it were from those mythological figures, they would just be a bunch of public buses.

Night: "I am the son of the moon, a servant of the hunting spirit and the moon goddess, who are your fellow chief gods..."

Lady Aphrodite, please have some self-respect.

That night, he once again explicitly rejected Aphrodite and suddenly activated the Moon's Blessing on himself.

When the intense aura and radiance of Artemis shone forth, like the shining North Star, it instantly became the brightest star on the earth.

Suddenly——

Artemis, the moon goddess, who was far away in the temple, sensed this aura, especially since Night had just mentioned her name.

In Greece, if someone recited the true names of the gods, the gods could hear it, but most of them ignored it, as if they had a self-recognition filter.

These gods only have sharp ears when you insult them or say things that are bad to them.

As a member of Artemis's kin, Ye, though she did not utter any insulting words, was still worthy of Artemis's attention.

Furthermore, Artemis has been frequently casting her gaze and paying attention to this area lately, and suddenly...

Artemis then discovered that Aphrodite was pursuing and persecuting her own family.

This is really bad...

When the moon goddess's temper flared, a raging fire of anger burned in her eyes.

In mythology, Artemis's personality is completely contrary to gentleness. With the protection of her father, the king of the gods, and her powerful brother Apollo, few dare to provoke or offend this goddess.

Boom~! ! !

On Earth, Aphrodite was deeply hurt and aggrieved by the explicit rejection. She inexplicably felt as if her own child had rejected her and had instead taken on a stepmother.

Aphrodite had never experienced anything so wondrous, which drove her to the brink of madness with jealousy and distress.

Especially since the person who stole her beloved was also her mortal enemy—the moon goddess Artemis.

Is there anything else Aphrodite wanted to say?

But at that moment, terrifying divine power descended from the horizon.

The world, which was originally daytime, suddenly turned into night. Stars appeared on the horizon, and the moon hung high in the sky, shining brightly and reflecting the night on the earth.

On the horizon, the star symbolizing Scorpio suddenly began to shine, as if the constellation had come to life and was about to descend from the stars at any moment.

This terrifying scene immediately attracted the attention of countless beings.

The heroes far away in Troy also looked up in shock and came out of the room to look at the scene on the horizon.

"Scorpio—!"

The heavens—all the gods were awakened.

Who has angered the moon goddess? To think she would pull off such a massive act.

Transforming the world—

Artemis is furious beyond belief; she's even sent out Scorpio. Is she going to attack some god?

Not to mention the heroes on earth, even the gods in the sky were instantly terrified, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Scorpio is a monster powerful enough to threaten even gods. Some weaker gods are now living in fear and are beginning to wonder if they have ever offended the moon goddess Artemis.

Even Zeus, the king of the gods, who was receiving a report from Hermes, was alarmed, wondering what his beloved daughter was up to.

Hermes also witnessed this scene, and he lamented that he wondered which unlucky soul had been targeted by the moon goddess.

"Father, please allow me to use my clairvoyance to see what's going on," Hermes said, unable to contain his curiosity.

Zeus, who was equally curious, nodded in agreement.

Then Hermes's previously gloating smile vanished abruptly, replaced by an expression of anxiety—

"...!! Scorpio is falling towards the Greek camp, oh no—!!"

I saw the figure of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, there.

woc——！！

What Hermes didn't mention was that he also saw the hero Griffith there at that moment.

Thinking back to what he had boasted to Cupid, the clever Hermes could easily guess what had happened.

You're in trouble!

Originally, because Hippolytus was almost killed by the trickery of the god of love, the relationship between the moon goddess and the god of love became extremely bad.
