Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

The night is not of a god but of a mere mortal, and at this moment, I admire his gaze equally.

You could say he is disrespectful to God, but there doesn't seem to be any filthy or blasphemous desire in him. However, he is so unscrupulous that he is definitely not the type of mortal who would obediently listen to the words of the gods.

Another hero who has no reverence for the gods.

However, because Ye had passed his own trial before, and showed strong willpower in the face of the temptation of the Sirens, Artemis had a very good impression of him and gained a lot of favor.

She was ready to accept Ye as her own dependent. The Moon Goddess was very generous and tolerant towards her own people.

Once upon a time there was a prince who was madly obsessed with the moon goddess. He was the son of Theseus, the king of Athens and the great hero who solved Minos' labyrinth.

Because he only loved Artemis' beauty, he refused to date any other women in the world and vowed that in this life he would not date any other woman except Artemis.

He was Hippolytus.

His contempt for other women angered Aphrodite, the goddess of love who symbolizes marriage and married women. This caused the angry goddess of love to use magic to make his stepmother Phaedra fall madly in love with him to punish him.

After Hippolytus rejected this love, Phaedra committed suicide out of shame, which led to Theseus exiling Hippolytus in anger after seeing the suicide note, and asking Poseidon to kill him.

Later, the prince was knocked over by the bull, a mythical beast released by Poseidon, and his chariot hit the rocks and was nearly killed.

Fortunately, Hera, another goddess symbolizing marriage, did not take action, otherwise Hippolytus would probably have no hair left by now and would have been pulled out in the feces of some legendary monster.

After learning about this, Artemis personally rescued Hippolytus and brought him back to the temple, and randomly assigned him a priest status.

Although Artemis did not accept Hippolytus's love, the moon goddess still had some sympathy for the mortal who fell into such a tragic fate because he respected himself but not the god of love and was tricked.

The Moon Goddess is tolerant and empathetic towards those who are towards her or recognized by her.

Compared to Hippolytus, who was unable to get the love he wanted and only saved because he was deserted by his friends and relatives, it was obvious that—

Ye, who took the initiative to pass his own trial, holds a much greater place in Artemis' heart.

If my favorability towards Hippolytus is 1, my favorability towards Ye is 100.

This doesn't mean that Yue Shen is in love with Ye, but compared to Yue Shen, the former is insignificant, and he may even forget his name after such a long time.

And Ye is now a rare hero to both Apollo and Artemis.

The kind that can be taken to heart.

If Ye already has good potential for development, they will not even hesitate to help Ye grow into their subordinate god, complete the leap from human to god, and become their right-hand man.

For the gods, background is not as important as finding the right person.

Now the night is very much to their liking.

Riding on a tall and mighty divine deer with horns shining with golden light, the goddess spoke: "I am Artemis, the goddess of hunting.

She is also your Moon Goddess.

I heard someone praying to me.

Is it you, the lost sheep in the midst of suffering?

Those who seek the path in the direction of the moonlight—"

When Artemis spoke like this.

The sailors, who were originally terrified, were stunned.

Pray to the moon goddess?

No, that's not it. We are praying to the sun god——

Uh, but after feeling the terrifying divine power around him like a prison, the pressure that seemed to be transformed into substance and overwhelm this space in an instant, and the sudden storm with lightning and thunder.

People were pale and terrified.

Then someone who was a little braver and more responsive finally nodded quickly, "No, that's right. Great Moon Goddess!

Our ship was wrecked after a storm and hit a reef. After we built a new ship, we had lost our way.

We pray to you that you will lead us to the right place where Troy is."

Seeing this, Artemis revealed a satisfied, mischievous smile on her cold, beautiful face.

It’s a pity that this smile was not seen by any of the sailors who had been keeping their heads down, except Ye.

night:"………"

Good man, he confessed under torture, right?

This playful look is really cute! You are such a moon goddess? But moonlight is also sunlight.

It's not entirely wrong to say that it's praying to the Moon Goddess.

At this time, Artemis noticed Ye's gaze and quickly returned to his calm expression, but his earlobes turned slightly red, showing that he was still a little embarrassed deep down.

Artemis quickly changed the subject and said, "The storm you encountered was the test I cast.

Agamemnon had previously killed one of my beloved sacred deer and offered his own daughter, which barely appeased my anger and paved the way for me to Troy.

But my anger has not completely subsided. Anyone who wants to help Agamemnon must pass my test before they are qualified to go to Troy. "

Artemis made up an excuse and said this.

Of course, she would not admit that she had set up a trial for Ye out of curiosity, just to meet him and intercept him.

At this time, the sailors below did not know about this. After listening to the words of the Moon Goddess, they suddenly realized.

so now--

Their trial should be, passed?

But soon the sailors thought of another question. If the storm was a test imposed by Lady Artemis, then could the Sirens they encountered before also be a test?

"Those sirens were not part of my trial—not my doing.

But only one of you performed well enough for me." When Artemis spoke like this.

Subconsciously, everyone looked in the direction of Ye with envious eyes.

Whether it was the previous storm, or the sudden attack from the Siren, and the night when he successfully fought back and saved everyone, his performance was incomparable to theirs.

If there is anyone whose performance can satisfy Lady Artemis, then that person must be Lord Griffith.

as predicted--

Soon people heard Artemis say the familiar name: "Griffith-Listar!"

At the same time, just as Artemis opened her mouth to pronounce the night name.

Apollo on the other side also turned green in an instant.

After Chapter 32, you can also shout: Undead Warrior, Son of the Moon? !

The sadness and joy of each person are different.

Apollo felt something was wrong from the moment Artemis appeared.

And when Artemis clearly pronounced Griffith Lista's full name, Apollo was instantly certain - there was no doubt that Artemis came for Ye!

And maybe he had been eyeing Ye from the beginning just like himself. If he hadn't been watching him for four or five days, he wouldn't have acted so decisively.

Apollo: No!!

You can't do this to me, Artemis!

Although he was extremely anxious and irritated, Apollo would not go out to ruin Artemis's plan at this time.

As relatives, Apollo and Artemis have always had a very good relationship.

Whether in the sister-brother version or the brother-sister version, these two gods have always supported each other as they grew up, and their relationship is much better and closer than that of Zeus' other children.

So even though the most promising hero might be snatched away now, Apollo had no intention of running away.

On the other side, Artemis announced that among so many people, only Griffith Lister performed the best and was the most favored by her.

At this time, in the name of the Moon Goddess, she asked Griffith if he was willing to become her follower and follow her around from then on.

Faced with the goddess's solicitation, and the only goddess in Greece who hardly allows men to get close to her.

Ah, this, this is...what an honor? !

Shock--

The sailors gasped, their eyes widened in shock, and for a moment they all showed expressions of envy and disbelief.

Is there such a benefit after passing the goddess's trial?

That virgin goddess actually also accepts male followers?

When everyone's eyes turned to the night——

Night took a deep breath.

He never expected that the Moon Goddess actually came for him.

Although he wanted to refuse firmly...he didn't want to have anything to do with things like gods.

As soon as he left Troy, he was thinking about staying away from the gods, but the gods came to him right away.

At this time, of course, he was——

"Praise you, my goddess...

Griffith Lister, I offer you my lifelong loyalty." Ye bowed slightly with his left arm forward, performing the sword salute, and then half-knelt gracefully.

Ye is quite aware of the current situation——!

Or, people who don't know the current situation would have been played to death by the gods long ago. Moreover, he played a word game with the goddess and offered his loyalty in this life (the simulated world).

Or take the oath in Griffith's name.

Of course - if Artemis didn't force him to do something he didn't like, Ye wouldn't mind becoming the goddess's follower.

He had originally fantasized about a scene where one day he would be forced to temporarily compromise and believe in a certain main god in order to avoid being forced by the gods.

I don't hate this night.

Since I can't hide, it will be much easier to travel in Greece in the future with the protection of the main god behind me.

He thought the most likely god to swear allegiance to was Apollo, but he didn't expect that today he would pledge allegiance to the Moon Goddess.

At this time, the other side.

Apollo covered his forehead with one hand in sorrow...——!

He knew this would be the result.

And when Ye agreed to become the follower of the Moon Goddess, Artemis in the sky showed a brilliant smile.

She ordered her beloved divine deer to slowly descend from the sky. The divine deer stepped on the void and walked down the stairs step by step, and finally arrived in front of the night on the ground.

Artemis sat on her mount and opened her hand slightly towards the night...

“As your deity…I grant you my blessing in the name of Artemis, goddess of the moon.

I will grant you the blessing of the moon." Then the faint moonlight flew from Artemis' palm into the night.

Goodness! First came Apollo's protection, then Artemis's protection.

Now the sun and the moon shine together.

And when the moonlight entered his body, Ye closed his eyes slightly and felt it. After a few seconds, he understood the effect of this protection.

nb——!! I opened it again!

At this moment, Ye thought with shock in his heart.

If Apollo's light is the light that brings hope and miracles.

It was Apollo who, after witnessing Ye's plight, bestowed upon him the most suitable light that could turn the tide of the battle.

Then the light of Artemis is the light that brings life.

The goddess of hunting is also the goddess closest to nature, and she treats all prey with kindness and care without distinction.

She is like nature, sometimes cruel and harsh, and sometimes gentle and shining with maternal radiance.

The moonlight gave the night a new life——!

From then on, as long as it is night and there is moonlight, Ye will be able to gain immortality.
