CK Simulation, Creating the Style of Tsukino Fumi

This was Perseus's life in Rome. This child, who had just left his mother's swaddling clothes, encountered the most mad teacher in all of Greece without any psychological transition. Even the Thracians, who were known for their cruelty in training warriors, would probably shed tears of pity when they heard about Perseus's training.

However, Quinn was not one of the Thracians with a high moral conscience; he was of steel and unwavering in his will.

Quinn didn't consider himself a particularly good teacher. After all, if he were a good teacher, Mordred wouldn't be the only one in the Knights of the Round Table who could be considered successful. Therefore, Quinn trusted the teaching methods of a certain senior monk named Sai more than his own extraordinary wisdom.

If you can't kill them, beat them to death. The more you get beaten up during training, the less likely you are to get injured when you go on adventures.

Based on this philosophy, Quinn enjoyed... no, he suppressed his inner pity and transformed into a ruthless and strict teacher, trying his best to replicate the Arcane training method he remembered onto Perseus, striving to create a hero whose niche was completely different from the Greek matchmaking mechanism from the moment he was born.

After all, Perseus was not known in mythology for his outstanding martial prowess, but for the various treasures bestowed upon him by the gods that he carried. Compared to his descendant Heracles, Perseus was somewhat inferior in martial arts and physical qualities, and his most famous trophy—the head of Medusa—was no longer something he could obtain.

Since he no longer had the support of those famous artifacts from later generations, Perseus had to make up for it elsewhere if he wanted to establish achievements and legends that were not much different from his original ones.

[You were abnormally strict with Perseus's forge. During that time, Perseus repeatedly felt that you wanted to kill him. But in fact, you had a full understanding of this kid's physical abilities. Every time you pushed him to his limits, you brought him to the brink of death, but not quite to the point of death.]

In this extreme forge, Perseus's physical abilities grew stronger day by day, and his personality began to drift further and further away from the person you remembered. Courage and fearlessness in the face of death became the defining characteristics of your student, and on this basis, you did not forget to cultivate his humanistic spirit.

As the rumors of your taking Perseus away spread, more and more Greeks learned that you had founded Rome and become the mentor of heroes chosen by the gods. Many people who longed to become heroes and achieve the same feats as you came from all over Greece, especially the Thracians, because your reputation for martial prowess had already spread throughout Thrace.

The arrival of these immigrants gradually brought life to your city of Rome, which also displeased Medusa somewhat. This goddess never really liked humans. When Rome was deserted, she considered the entire city her home. Now, however, she began to live a secluded life, only appearing in the palace and temple areas. Even so, those who came to Rome could occasionally catch a glimpse of this goddess wandering the city streets at night.

As Medusa was occasionally spotted by citizens, people believed in your legend more and more, which further boosted your fame.

Your legendary seed has entered the second stage.

According to official Greek historical records, you were the first adventurer from all of Greece to reach the Italian peninsula, where you established the later renowned ancient city of Rome, and are known in Greece as the "builder of Rome." Some legends suggest that Medusa, the monster you defeated, also participated in the construction of Rome, and both were considered founders of the city. You and Medusa are considered ancestors of the Romans. However, some scholars, when excavating ancient Roman sites, tend to believe that Medusa was the true founder of Rome, and that you were her master. It was because you defeated Medusa and made her your own that you were able to establish Rome.

According to unofficial Greek historical records, Perseus once visited Rome and received instruction from Quine Europa, the founder of Rome. It is said that the founder of Rome's teachings were exceptionally strict, which terrified Thrace. However, under such strict instruction, Perseus grew extremely rapidly, laying the foundation for his future adventures as a Greek hero.

[Your legendary exploits as "Monster Conqueror" have transformed into "Hero Mentor." When facing non-human, "divine" characters from Greek culture, you are more likely to recruit them into your camp. If the character is male or bisexual, they are more likely to be attracted to you. Characters with a "becoming a hero" inclination naturally have 20 points of basic goodwill towards you and are more likely to be attracted by your "recruitment" tactics, accepting you as their guardian.]

As your fame grows, so does the prosperity of your city of Rome. Because you are free from any curse, this time you live far longer than you did in Britain. Time seems unable to leave its mark on you, nor can it take your life again, making you almost ageless.

The people who came to Rome witnessed Perseus grow into adulthood under your guidance, while you remained almost unchanged, still young and strong, with a flawless body. People began to believe in your identity as the son of the god of love and war, and considered you a divine child, just as Perseus was considered the son of Zeus.

But in fact, you know very well that Perseus is indeed related to Zeus, but he cannot be considered a descendant, because your teachings to Perseus are not limited to the physical but also include magic. You strive to make Perseus all-around capable, and magic is an essential part of that.

Chapter 132

While teaching him magic, you discover that Perseus possesses a substance that is extremely familiar to you.

Nanomachines

You realize that perhaps your creation of Jupiter inspired the Greek Mechs to create new mortal heroes, rather than choosing the original method. The nanomachines belonging to the Mechs flowed within Perseus, granting him power similar to that of the Mechs.

This has also given you new inspiration. You have a new idea to improve the Jupiter puppet, and you plan to complete a legendary building while Perseus is still in Rome.

[You plan to build the Pantheon. You have initiated a legendary building decision—to build the "Rome Pantheon." When the building is completed, the city of Rome will receive a Golden Age bonus.]

You approached Perseus, hoping this young hero, who had come of age under your tutelage, would do something for you. In return for this request, you would provide him with an army to return to Cyprus and bring his mother back to Rome.

Chapter 119 The Era of Mortals Begins

"You, go and find Hermes, then drag Athena out of Athens and bring these two gods to Rome."

"Ah I?"

"Yes, that's you."

When Quinn recounted his commission, Perseus couldn't help but show an expression that said, "This man has gone mad after all." But when he recalled his childhood experiences, he felt that the task Quinn had assigned him was nothing special. After all, failure would only mean death, something he had experienced many times before.

Since arriving in Rome, Perseus had lived in misery, constantly teetering on the edge of death. If he hadn't been physically strong enough, he would probably have been taken to meet Hades by the ferrymen of the River Styx long ago. Even so, Perseus did not give up, because he still remembered what Quinn had promised him.

“Alright, I will do it, but you said you would give me an army… I have never seen any soldiers in Rome other than the city's garrison.”

Perseus's skepticism about your ability to provide him with a legion is understandable, because since the founding of your city of Rome and the arrival of immigrants, you have only simply recruited some reasonably capable vagrants to serve as city sheriffs to maintain basic order within Rome. Apart from that, due to the insufficient number of permanent residents in your city, you have not been in a hurry to build up a native legion.

After all, the most basic requirement for having an army is a sufficient population. In Greece, most city-states could only muster a garrison of about 80 to 300-400 men. City-states like those in Thrace, where almost the entire population was a soldier and the terrain was favorable, could muster an army of several thousand men.

In general, the number of permanent soldiers in ancient Greece was not large, which is why the existence of heroes who could take on a hundred men was especially important.

[Your city of Rome is a newly emerging city-state. Due to your great fame, there is indeed a large transient population in and out of the city, but very few residents are willing to stay permanently. You don't blame Perseus for questioning your power, because the core reason he stayed in Rome and received your education was so that one day he could return to Cyprus and bring his mother back.]

So you decided to show him your traditional skills.

You instructed him to follow you to the great plain outside Rome. He followed your footsteps, and then he saw a secret he had never known before.

A heavily armored and heavily armed infantry legion appeared before Perseus, plunging him into self-doubt. He had thought that his years in Rome had given him a thorough understanding of you and Rome, but seeing this legion made him realize that he still knew far too little.

The Roman Praetorian Guard, totaling 3600 men, was funded by the money given to you by the King of Cyprus and the taxes you collected from managing Rome over the past few years. You've been planning this all along to pave Perseus's path to heroism. Now that you've taken Medusa under your wing, you can't arrange a heroic path for Perseus to slay monsters and build a kingdom, but you can make him an avenger.

[Compared to heroic epics of smooth sailing and being favored by the gods, you know very well that people prefer to listen to and sing of revenge through hardship and perseverance. Only a life of suffering and unwavering resilience in the face of adversity are stories that no one can resist.]

Perseus has agreed to your request and has decided to leave Rome to find Hermes.

[With the departure of your first student, you yourself have begun to take action. You haven't forgotten Dione's expectations of you. This god-king in disguise clearly wants to see you teach Athena a lesson, so that the goddess of wisdom will understand that she can also misjudge people. You have the desire to respond to Dione's expectations, not only because you are somewhat dissatisfied that Athena has looked at you several times but hasn't taken the initiative to approach you, but also because you want to take your relationship with Medusa further.]

Yes, although you and Medusa have become friends over the past few years, and she will listen to you and is willing to be close to you, it's not enough.

You thought that as long as Medusa cooperated closely with you, the world would believe that you and this goddess had an enviable love. However, it turns out that the Gorgon monster's reputation was too great in Greece. People considered Medusa your slave and part of your spoils more than your lover.

[You are very dissatisfied with this conclusion, not because you are unhappy about having a female slave. In fact, you wish you actually had one, after all, it is part of your dark side. What you are really dissatisfied with is the failure of your love story. If Medusa is just a slave in the eyes of the world, it will diminish the epic feel of your heroic tale.]

You need to take your relationship with Medusa to the next level, and Athena will be an opportunity for you.

So you went to the temple in Rome that was built specifically for Medusa and her sisters. In front of Medusa, you began to discuss the plan to build the "Pantheon of Rome". As you expected, Medusa showed some difficulty in response to your idea. Her acceptance of you did not mean that she could accept the gods.

Seeing this, you seize the opportunity to speak.

"What if I could make Athena suffer a setback and apologize to you?"

Should Athena apologize?

These were such unfamiliar words. Medusa couldn't fathom how the woman who had framed her with rumors could do such a thing. But looking at Quinn, she nodded. "If Athena were to apologize to her sisters and admit that she had persecuted us, then..."

Medusa fell silent. She racked her brains but couldn't think of anything she could give as a gift to repay Quinn's kindness. Finally, a somewhat immature idea popped into her head.

"Then I'll work for you for the rest of my life. From now on, no matter what you want to do, I'll do my best."

"Including marrying me?"

"Correct."

This time, Medusa had no psychological burden and didn't even blush. She was no longer so disgusted with humans. Moreover, after spending these past few years together, she had come to realize one thing: her fate was completely bound together with Rome and Quinn, forming an inseparable community.

[You have encountered a legendary event chain. Your affinity with the legendary monster Gorgon has reached its maximum. You have obtained a clue to "destroy the monster Gorgon".]

When you fulfill the Gorgon's wish, Medusa's "demonic" trait will disappear, and Medusa will gain a new trait, "Goddess's Core - Rome".

When Medusa agreed to your proposal, you knew that the age of mortals had begun.

Chapter 120 The Moon Will Drive the Romans Mad

After Perseus left, you often heard rumors about your student.

Perseus accomplished many heroic feats that seemed impossible to ordinary people, such as fighting sea monsters at sea, battling wild boars as tall as a man in the forest, and defeating numerous enemies for certain kings. But the most important of these was his claim of searching for news of Hermes.

You are relieved to know that your student is faithfully searching for Hermes for you.

[Because figuring out how to humiliate Athena and force her to apologize to the Gorgons is a task second only to defeating Zeus head-on, you'll need Hermes' help to accomplish it.]

[Your knowledge of Greek mythology is quite extensive. You know that Athena's archenemy throughout Greek mythology is Ares, the god of war. These two gods, both accomplished in warfare, fought each other almost their entire lives. Although Athena always emerged victorious, when it comes to who was most likely to defeat Athena, it was only Ares. This wasn't because Ares was particularly strong, but because only Ares would consistently challenge Athena, to the point that all the gods considered their constant conflict a matter of course.]

However, surprises can always occur within the realm of the seemingly inevitable; it's just that under normal circumstances, this is unlikely to happen.

[Leaving aside the fact that the God of War lost the concept of "God of War" after fighting the white giant, and his strength was greatly reduced thereafter, just considering that every time the God of War appears in mythology, he is attacked by several gods in turn, there is a reason why Athena can easily overpower Ares. After all, no matter how strong the God of War is, it is unlikely that he can fight against several gods at the same time.]

Therefore, your idea is simple: since the God of War is currently finding it difficult to defeat Athena, let him propose another wager to Athena, and then wage a proxy war between Rome and Athens. If Rome wins, the God of War will have defeated Athena. As for what the wager is...

Quinn was certain that as long as he could help the God of War defeat Athena once, the God of War would not mind letting him decide the price of the bet. Therefore, Quinn only needed to worry about how to defeat the goddess of wisdom on the battlefield and give her a little shock as a brute.

To ensure his win rate, Quinn's first task is to restore the concept of "god of war" to the God of War, transforming him from the invincible Greek god of war Ares into the undefeated Roman god of war Mars.

So you too set off from Rome, and this time, you brought along your unfinished doll, Jupiter, which you hadn't done in a long time, because you intended to find the moon goddess Artemis. If anyone in modern Greece could help you go to the moon to find the lost concept of the "goddess of war," it would be Artemis.

Artemis, the Roman goddess of the moon, the Greek goddess of the hunt, one of the gods with the most temples in all of Greece, and Athena's best friend...

Yes, Artemis and Athena have an extraordinary relationship. As one of the three famous virgin goddesses in Greek mythology, Artemis is also the old rival of the god of war. Therefore, if Quinn wants to go to the moon, he has to find a reasonable reason that Artemis cannot refuse.

Otherwise, if Quinn had stated that he was going to the moon to retrieve the sword of the god of war for the god of war, Artemis would not have helped him.

However, if the reason for going to the moon was to seek new inspiration for Zeus's gift, Artemis would have no reason to refuse. In fact, given Artemis's personality in Type-Moon, she might even be eager to help.

After all, Artemis in the Type-Moon universe is just like that.

With this in mind, Quinn went straight to Delos.

[You arrived at Delos with the doll Jupiter. The moment you arrived, numerous nymphs swarmed from all over the island and surrounded you. These nymphs, like the Britannian fairies, belonged to the elves, second only to the gods. And you, ever since the end of Britannia, have been naturally very attractive to the elves.]

The nymphs were excited by your arrival. They couldn't explain why they were attracted to you, but the naturally romantic Greek fairies didn't mind having such goodwill towards you, a handsome man. They surrounded you, chattering incessantly, asking why you had come to Delos. When you said you were there to see the moon goddess, the nymphs became even more excited and eagerly offered to lead the way for you.

However, the fairies' restlessness had already attracted the attention of the main character.

While you were still thinking about how to make a good impression on the Moon Goddess, a striking white figure stood out from the crowd of fairies. She was taller than the other fairies and caught your eye at first glance. The golden bow she held was dazzling and magnificent. Her standard appearance made you recognize her identity at a glance.

"My beloved, chosen by my father, have you come here specifically for me?" Artemis also has a very good impression of you. You have a good reputation, no bad rumors, and a close relationship with Athena. She is very kind to you.

You explained your purpose for coming: to receive the moon goddess's blessing, and your desire to travel to the moon.

Artemis was surprised by your idea. Her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled and agreed with you. She did indeed have the ability to send you to the moon. Moreover, she directly bestowed her blessing upon your doll.

Artemis blesses your doll, may she remain forever pure under the moonlight, unaffected by spiritual influences.

You are somewhat surprised because Artemis's blessings are very generous. Compared to the more abstract blessings from other gods that lead to special effects, the moon goddess grants mental resistance, which is the most direct and straightforward characteristic.

You thanked the moon goddess for her blessings and began asking her how to get to the moon.

"Of course, we'll just fly up there."

Artemis spoke innocently, and Quinn immediately became expressionless.

I should have known that these Greek gods were all a bit mentally unstable. How could a normal human like me fly to the moon?

Seeing Quinn's changing expression, Artemis assumed that the man in front of her had no idea what the universe was like, so she began to comfort Quinn, "Don't worry, I didn't let you fly up by yourself. I'll take you with me. Come, come with me."

Artemis invites you to her temple, you go, and then you witness the most breathtaking scene you have ever seen on the Greek continent.

[You saw Artemis's unadorned, completely intact body; you faced the body of the Greek mechanic.]
