Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

Chapter 11 The person that Mount Olympus has been waiting for for tens of thousands of years is probably me

"You want to keep me here by humiliating yourself...

But I can't bear to see a free soul sacrificing itself for the safety of others.

Chryseis - You can hold your head high and don't be ashamed. I am not rejecting you because you are not beautiful.

Quite the opposite——

You have a beautiful soul as beautiful as your beautiful body.

Such a pure soul should not be tainted by any filth.

I can freely admit that when you opened your mouth just now, my heart was shamefully moved——

You have a face more beautiful than the moon and stars in the sky. Any hero would be moved by you, and I am no exception.

But I can't stop yet.

Not only to save Briseis—but to end this meaningless war!"

Chryseis heard the words of the night - not because she was not beautiful, but because this meaningless war must be ended!

Chryseis, who had a better understanding of Ye's mind, admired him from the bottom of her heart and developed a sense of worship for him.

She noticed that the other person compared her beauty to being more beautiful than the stars and the moon.

The stars and moon of Greece are not simple——

Each of the named stars can represent a goddess, especially the goddess representing the moon, who is a relative of the main god she believes in, Lord Apollo...

Lord Artemis, the moon goddess!

How can she compare with the stars and the moon?

But this did make Chryseis' heart flutter.

And Ye's next words pushed this feeling of inexplicable excitement and accelerated heartbeat to the peak.

In order to make Chryseis have confidence in herself, and also to strengthen the next crazy and bold plan.

Ye looked up in the direction of Greece, and vaguely seemed to see an island across the distant sea -

In the land called Greece, there is the highest mountain - Mount Olympus.

Ye's hood was gently blown open by the breeze, revealing the silver hair that was as beautiful as the bright moonlight. His dreamy eyes like stars stared quietly into the distance: "You said something wrong before - I think it's wrong.

You said that even all the famous heroes on Mount Olympus might not be able to complete this trial..."

The corners of Ye's mouth curled up slightly, and then left a deep impression in Chryseis' heart forever.

The hero who was blessed by glory and could bring hope and miracles spoke with such confidence and determination—

“So now you’ve seen a powerful person who you think can complete this trial on Mount Olympus—a place that hasn’t appeared for tens of thousands of years.

Maybe he is waiting for me."

When the hero's words fell, the stars shone in the night sky and the light of the moon enveloped him like a thin gauze, illuminating him so beautifully.

A handsome young man who is confident, arrogant, yet full of vigor and vitality——

It seemed to be pointing to the other side of the sea, announcing that sooner or later this achievement would be remembered by the gods, who would personally engrave his name in the most shining of the many heroic epics of Mount Olympus.

Chryseis was somewhat shocked and dazed.

At this moment, her mind was blank, leaving only one thought: she believed that the other party would definitely succeed, and she was willing to believe that he could succeed.

If this is true, she sincerely admires, respects, and loves——

If this isn't true, then she hopes it is true! It's the future that is about to come true!

……

Night, no…Griffith finally left as a merchant ship.

When she saw the distant ship gradually disappearing on the sea level, Chryseis felt extremely lost and reluctant, and even had an urge to catch up.

Finally, she bowed deeply in the direction where the ship was leaving, then knelt down on the beach and prayed for the hero.

May the journey be smooth! She will wait for the hero to return in Troy... and bring Briseis with him.

Just because the other party had promised, she believed that if it was that person, he would definitely be able to do it.

And on the other side-

Far away from the land of Troy, after completely losing sight of the earth, Ye recalled the outrageous words he had just spoken, and a sense of urgency arose spontaneously.

Now that you have made such a boast, don't let the plan fail before it even begins.

If he had to return to Troy in disgrace with nothing accomplished, he would rather charge directly into the Greek coalition and fight Agamemnon to the death. At least that way his death would be more tragic and not too embarrassing.

Just as Ye was racking his brains to think about the details of the next plan, making sure there would be no mistakes.

He didn't notice that because of his boasting at the beach, he attracted a lot of unnecessary attention.

As we all know, the Greek gods are very petty and like to eavesdrop and spy on humans' thoughts about them.

From time to time, he would personally descend to the mortal world to inspect the world, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

So in Greece, talk less, do less, hide as much as possible, and don't speak your inner thoughts loudly in crowded places.

Maybe it will be heard by a passing god.

And at this time——

Among the stars - under the bright moonlight, a pale silver-blue goddess with dreamy beauty and violet eyes was looking at the ships traveling far away below - she was none other than Artemis, the goddess of hunting and the goddess of the moon.

Because of Ye’s bold words at the seaside, the moon goddess Artemis noticed Ye’s existence.

The scene that Chryseis saw at that time, with stars shining and moonlight shining like a gauze, was not a simple natural phenomenon.

When Ye compared Chryseis to being more beautiful than the stars and the moon, Artemis, who had been watching secretly, frowned and felt a little uncomfortable.

But she didn't take it too seriously. She thought that this mortal probably had never seen how beautiful a real goddess was, which was why he had such a superficial understanding.

If he had seen the glorious appearance of the Moon Goddess with his own eyes, he would certainly not have been able to make such arrogant remarks.

Fortunately, Artemis is not the kind of jealous goddess——

If the goddess of beauty Aphrodite were here, she would definitely not be able to resist and secretly attack Ye.

Artemis actually knew something about the existence of night.

These days, brother Apollo often pays attention to the Troy area in the underworld.

The Moon Goddess, who had a very good relationship with Apollo, accidentally discovered the existence of Night even though she did not deliberately investigate, and knew that Apollo had given him his blessing.

The fact that a human being could receive such attention from the brother of the God of Light also aroused Artemis' curiosity.

I didn't expect to witness such a grand and ambitious scene just now——

Even Artemis couldn't help but shed a ray of moonlight to illuminate the human figure when the atmosphere reached its peak.

Mount Olympus hasn't produced a powerful figure in tens of thousands of years. Is it waiting for him?

How dare you say that?

However, if Hercules had not become a god, if he could really accomplish an unparalleled feat.

As if she had thought of something interesting, Artemis's beautiful face, which was as cold as moonlight, suddenly revealed a smile from the heart.

Chapter 12 Objective Code: Replace Telephus and get the admission ticket!

On the deck of a merchant ship fleeing from Troy, some merchants were discussing the Greek coalition forces crossing the ocean to attack Troy.

They talked about the legend that the Greek army got lost several times before finding Troy and was even almost trapped in the sea by a storm brought about by the moon goddess Artemis.

This was all because Agamemnon once killed the goddess' sacred deer.

If Agamemnon had not offered his daughter to appease the anger of the moon goddess, the Greeks might not have found the gate of Troy yet.

The storm was said to have lasted for several months.

Now, while listening to the familiar mythological stories in my ears, I cast my gaze towards the calm sea level. Now there is no sign that there was ever a storm here.

In a single thought, he could create a natural disaster of such magnitude that it could hinder the entire Greek coalition's army of hundreds of thousands of troops and thousands of warships.

The power of the gods is truly omnipotent...

Even though they had seen the destructive power of dragons and the might of demigods, these powers were only displayed in simple destruction and had no functionality.

Until now, Ye still didn't know how those gods could instantly turn mortals, even heroes, into old people, sheep, or stones.

If this unsolvable ability similar to the rule-based system is used on himself, can he resist it?

I have never heard of any hero possessing such an unsolvable ability - so is this the insurmountable class gap between the gods and humans in the Greek world?

It is best to avoid provoking the gods if nothing goes wrong - this is an unsolvable idea.

However, little did he know that he was sinking deeper and deeper into the night of attracting God.

Soon - and without any accidents, shipwrecks, storms or the like along the way, the ship successfully docked on the coast of Misia.

Because he was too bored during the sailing, he simply plucked the strings of the guitar and practiced his new musical skills. Unexpectedly, he gained many ordinary fans. Even seagulls on the sea landed on the mast to listen to the song of the night guitar.

This wonderful show of skill immediately won the favor of countless people.

The businessmen even wanted to invite Ye to travel with them. If they could hear such beautiful songs during the trip, they would surely be more enthusiastic about their work.

Of course I declined the offer of staying overnight.

These merchants would only stay for a short time on the coast of Mysia, and then continue their journey towards Greece, not only to escape, but also to bring Trojan specialties to Greece to sell and make a small profit.

But Ye’s plan did not include returning to Greece completely, so he naturally would not follow these people.

at this time--

Ye put his feet on the ground, standing on this strange land, he looked up and looked into the distance.

It was a kingdom—

Although the Mysia Coast is not a famous place, the background of the king of the country here is very famous.

Telephus, son of Hercules.

The Greek coalition forces initially chose the wrong place to land here and killed many people, and Telephus was the target this time.

Due to its special status, it is located between Greece and Troy.

The Greeks wanted him to follow them to attack Troy, but the old king of Troy was Telephus' father-in-law, so he refused.

certainly--

It is not known how much of this was due to Agamemnon leading his men to kill a large number of Telephus' soldiers and civilians.

Ye believed that it was impossible for a normal person to not feel resentment about this.

Logically speaking, Telephus would not help Agamemnon in this situation.

In history, Telephus simply chose to support Troy...

However, there is a deviation in the record of the myth. A god intervened and signaled Telephus to join the Greek camp to attack his father-in-law.

So Telephus simply found an excuse that he had been rescued by Greek soldiers, and joined the war and chose to help the Greek side.

If Ye had no plan to blend in with the Greek reinforcements and break into the interior.

Then this king may be among the foreign aids chosen by the gods next.

And now the night has come—

And intends to create a new identity for himself from here and grab this ticket to foreign aid.

A famous hard-core ruthless person who once successfully tricked the president into attending an event once realized this truth in Earth Online.

He discovered that there is a huge bug in real life, that is, when people face the people they interact with in daily life, they generally do not doubt the other person's identity.

When you forge an identity, you know it is fake, and others know it is fake too.

But when their friends and relatives say it is real, out of trust and subconscious feeling that acquaintances cannot deceive them, they begin to believe that this identity is real.

You also said your identity is real...

In the end, more and more people will believe in this new identity. Even if you personally stand up and say that you are a liar, there will be countless people who will think you are joking and will stand up to defend you, smooth things over, and find various reasons to prove the authenticity of your identity.
