Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

The position of the Lord of the World is gone, and two-thirds of the resources of creation are also gone.

Odin is undoubtedly the weakest god-king in all mythologies, and could probably be easily defeated by any random chief god from the Greek pantheon.

Even their beloved horses and guns were destroyed, leaving them to fight the gods empty-handed against the enemy's divine weapons. The Norse pantheon was completely wiped out.

Even if they could be resurrected in mythology, it's hard to say how much strength they would recover; it would be utterly tragic!

That night, the simulated universe transfer station arrived after a long absence. Due to the issue of time flow, Night was not in a hurry to deal with the heroic spirits still remaining in the Moon World, such as Morgan and others.

Without his permission, even if the Holy Grail War is over, the souls of these Heroic Spirits will not return to their original worlds. Of course, it's not that they can't go back at all. When Night uses Morgan as an anchor point, he will definitely go to the Lostbelt universe to take a look.

The most powerful universes in the Moon World, besides the Holy Grail War universes composed of countless Fourth, Fifth, and Subspecies Holy Grail Wars, are the FGO universe system, which stands out on its own.

The dominant laws of the night now mainly flow out and are applied to worlds where the Holy Grail War has taken place.

The Lostbelt world is much farther from the Vortex of Roots where he is located. If Yoru wants to carry out his plan to completely surround the entire lunar universe from both inside and outside, using that world as a foothold is undoubtedly a good choice.

Now that he no longer needs to worry about the flow of time, he has focused his attention on the fairy tale universe.

Seeing the arrival of night, the Black Tower, which had already been notified, was still somewhat surprised and asked, "Have you made a decision? We're going to make contact with that universe where God exists now."

That's right, there is a God in the fairy tale universe!

However, God's combat power in this story is quite puzzling.

They possess the power to change the world, yet they cannot discover an ordinary person who has infiltrated Heaven.

Perhaps due to the unique cosmology of this universe, compared to depicting magnificent battle scenes and expressive power, it showcases more of the powerful divine force that is unreasonable and illogical.

Halibut can grant any wish!

To thank the fisherman for releasing the fish, they could even transform the world overnight, starting by turning the fisherman into a villa, then into a palace and a royal city, making him a king, an emperor, and finally the supreme pope!

In the Moon World, it would be at least a singularity or Lostbelt.

This kind of fairy tale world that doesn't make sense or follow logic but still works normally is much scarier than action anime, just like the comedy anime next door!

Is the protagonist of Chapter Two, "The Three Snake Leaves," a reflection of the Nibelungenlied?

Night: "It's decided..."

If life were like a stagnant pool, devoid of any challenges, it would be far too boring.

As the final trial, it is an enemy of the progress of civilization, and in the future, it will be a peak that the Almighty Gods will also need to look up to and surpass.

If the gods are omniscient, omnipotent, and all-powerful, then they constitute a paradox that renders even omnipotence colorless!

Existence itself is a paradox, a twilight of the gods that shatters perfection and mocks truth! It is the final peak of trials for humanity, gods, and civilization!

Black Tower? They didn't offer any advice...

Now that the night has made its decision, it means it is confident that it can get through the fairy tale world.

The long-awaited gates to the simulated universe have reopened.

That night, I stepped through the gate into that mysterious and colorful world.

The next moment, a familiar feeling welled up in his heart, and soon Ye completed the identity switch.

When he opened his eyes again that night, he found himself on a forest path.

At the same time, Ye also learned of the identity she had acquired this time.

A poor young man...

But he has a very special name—Zig.

In this world, the young man he replaced originally lived with his father.

However, his father was too poor, so poor that he couldn't even support his own son. In the end, the young son took the initiative to leave home to make a living and ease the burden, hoping to earn some food.

After receiving his father's blessing, the young man who left home learned that his country was at war with other countries, and thus he had the idea of ​​joining the army.

A powerful spiritual vision suddenly surged into Ye's mind.

He saw the predetermined trajectory of fate—and realized which fairy tale he was currently in.

As the fairy tale world that constitutes the belief in God, the main chapters are naturally the Grimm's Fairy Tales, which contain many chapters in which God himself makes an appearance.

In Grimm's Fairy Tales, the beginnings are almost entirely allusions to or direct references to the Nibelungen stories of Norse mythology, while the endings are mostly about the deeds of various angels, disciples, and God himself manifesting divine power on earth.

The mythological invasion of the One God into his pantheon may have been evident from this point onward.

Although Norse mythology was introduced relatively late, its influence was more thorough. After all, even the native Norse mythology had almost disappeared, and missionaries had to collect and integrate it, so it was naturally easier to incorporate elements of the biblical system.

The most affected are naturally those parts of mythology and the closest neighbor to the future.

The story of the Nibelungenlied takes place right before King Arthur's time...

There is a story in Grimm's Fairy Tales called The Three Snake Leaves, which tells the story of a young man who made great contributions on the battlefield and became a high-ranking officer. He married a princess, but because he had vowed to be buried with her after her death, he unexpectedly discovered the magical scene of a white snake using three green leaves placed on the corpse to revive its kind.

The story tells of a young man who used these three leaves to resurrect his wife, but the resurrected wife fell in love with a captain and conspired with him to kill her husband.

In the end, the young man's loyal servant used three leaves to revive her, expose his wife's plot, and bring the adulterous couple to justice as punished by the old king.

In the Nibelungenlied, the first Siegfried, also known as Sigmund, experienced a similar story.

However, the child Sigmund resurrected with the three leaves was the one he had accidentally killed—his child born from his incestuous marriage with his sister.

In order to give birth to a demigod, the Qi family has traditionally practiced orthopedics.

Although he had not experienced the Nibelungen Mythology in this book before, he did indeed play Siegfried once.

It seems perfectly normal that, due to this twist of fate, the young man named 'Zig' would be directly replaced.

"So—this time, the identity I'm taking over is the protagonist of that short fairy tale?" This was a rare experience for Ye.

This is probably the first time he has directly replaced a named and established entity in a universe, and he is the protagonist at that.

Even if this is only the protagonist of one chapter.

But the protagonist's life is not very fortunate!

Even if it's an allusion to the grandson of that demigod, Odin's great-grandson—the first Siegfried (the predecessor of the dragon-slaying hero Siegfried).

However, it also carries the biblical system, with its usual tendency to belittle and denigrate other pantheons and heroes.

They elevate the glory of their own pantheon by suppressing the supreme gods and heroes of other pantheons and their shameful acts in their own mythology.

Born into a family of demigods, Nibelungenlied's son becomes the son of a poor, destitute man in the fairy tale world.

The once mighty King of Destiny, wielding the sword in the tree, became a complete weakling on the battlefield because of his loud slogans (that his vow to never surrender inspired his army to fight back and kill the enemy, and afterwards, the king valued his character and granted him wealth and status).

Originally, the story depicts a hero who accidentally kills his nephew (his own son) during a fight, showcasing the characteristic of Scandinavians using bloodshed and brutality to demonstrate heroism. However, in the fairy tale, the person who needs saving turns out to be a princess who has cheated on him.

Most importantly, the lover the princess had her eye on was just a captain with no status or position.

In the fairy tale, the princess is described as initially in love with young men, but her personality changes drastically after her resurrection...

This scene feels so familiar...

Ye immediately thought of Medea from Greek mythology.

Not only in the Moon World, but also in the original mythological world, Medea's love for Jason was inseparable from the allure of Cupid. This goddess of the ages later went so far as to cruelly murder her own brother in order to elope with Jason. Whether this was due to Cupid's influence or simply her nature remains to be seen… (In the Moon World's flashback scenes, Medea, after being influenced by Cupid and returning to normal, suffered a mental breakdown.)

However, the scenario of a personality undergoing a drastic change due to the divine power of a god is all too typical.

And then there's Asterius... who is also the Minotaur, the king of labyrinth monsters—the mother of the bull, the queen whose personality was altered and who fell in love with the bull and directly mated with him.

Atalanta... was also tempted by the golden apple given to young people by the goddess of love, and lost the competition. After eating the golden apple, her mind was affected. She went from believing in the moon goddess's celibacy and deciding to remain a virgin forever to—easily falling in love with a stranger she had only met less than three times.

Because of the influence of the gods, people's minds have changed drastically, and there are far too many instances of people eating anything when they are starving.

Even in fairy tales, where the princess changes her mind after being resurrected, her standards for choosing a partner are exceptionally high, considering she only wants to marry a hero with a noble character who is willing to die for her. In the end, she actually falls for a poor and vicious boatman who is willing to kill the original wife with her.

This is an unusually large drop in standards of taste!

Chapter Three: The Stage for the Omnipotent Paradox – A New Dualism of Mutual Observation of Human History and Mythological History

'The methods are too crude...'

When I was a child, I read Grimm's Fairy Tales and felt quite satisfied when the wicked princess was finally punished by the king.

But as I grew up, I realized that there were too many illogical parts in it.

Not only was it easy for the princess to change her mind, but the old king, who was also the princess's biological father, also did not hesitate to punish his own daughter, as if he were punishing a complete stranger.

Even the method of reviving a person by placing three snake leaves on three broken or injured parts of a corpse is remarkably similar to the method Saint Peter used to revive the dead princess in the fairy tale.

The power of the biblical mythological system within it is too obvious!

Even if fairy tales don't need logic, all stories must have a happy ending! Stories of truth, goodness, and beauty are correct!

But when I think back to the earliest Grimm's Fairy Tales, they seem to be dark fairy tales.

It was only after a process of gradual deletion and modification that it became the beautiful version that people are familiar with, a version that children can watch.

That's not surprising!

Even in the revised Grimm's Fairy Tales, there are still many stories with questionable values.

The devils in fairy tales are mostly trustworthy. Even when they do evil, they have their own professional ethics and principles. They never resort to underhanded tactics and are so well-behaved that they are so touching that they bring tears to your eyes!

On the contrary, the protagonists of those stories are all cunning and treacherous, constantly bullying the devils and extorting gold coins from hell.

When angels, God, and disciples walk the earth, they punish those who are unpleasant to them...

The punishments are often quite terrible, and their ruthlessness far surpasses that of demons who can only make jokes and suffer setbacks.

If you encounter these disciples of God—if you don't behave well enough, you'll at best suffer severe injuries and become a level three disabled person, and at worst be burned to death, bitten to death by a swarm of snakes, or even work endlessly and without stopping until you die!

It wasn't simply about punishing evil and promoting good; rather, it seemed more like an attempt to establish authority, using cruel punishments to leave a deeper impression.

Early myths were indeed dark, profound, and cruel.

It's like trying to complete a task or meet annual work targets and KPIs—punishing for the sake of punishment, or promoting good for the sake of promoting good—it's all too superficial!

Perhaps they weren't taking these tasks too seriously, but were merely conducting a pilot project for the transformation of mythology, which is why their methods were so crude.

It's not just the West; in the neighboring Eastern mythology world, there are similar situations where the journey to the West is for the sake of the journey itself, and eighty-one tribulations are forcibly created from the ranks of various gods and Buddhas if they don't exist.

Now, the identity that Night has taken is that of the protagonist who was caught in the ordeal, and is the one who suffered the most.

“Now that I’ve become Sieg… it seems I’m destined to clash with that person!” Night’s gaze sharpened.

He certainly can no longer proceed according to the original storyline.

This disrupts the storyline laid out by the gods, especially the crucial early storyline that was used to denigrate the Nibelung heroes of Norse mythology, making a confrontation with that being inevitable.
