Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

Odysseus' heart was suddenly filled with jealousy and hatred.

Chapter 66: One sentence tore apart the dreams of two men. How many nine years are there in a lifetime?

How could it be you, how could it be you——!

Even Diomedes, he could barely accept it.

Even if it was Ajax the Great or Griffith, the newly joined hero, Odysseus would not react so strongly and develop such tremendous hatred.

The divine equipment that I worked so hard to plan for ended up being snatched away by the person I hate the most? !

Odysseus, who had just given birth to a son, Telemachus, to his new wife Penelope, was reluctant to leave because he didn't want to go to war for the King of Sparta.

He pretended to be mad and harnessed the oxen to the plow and plowed the field, and scattered salt on the field. Palamedes saw through his disguise and placed his son on the field. Sure enough, Odysseus stopped in front of the child.

Although this forced Odysseus to participate in the war in the end, the fact that a father's affection for his son was used to force him to reveal his true colors was extremely hateful.

Palamedes chose the worst possible way to expose his opponent.

It is understandable that Odysseus would be so determined to kill Palamedes.

Odysseus, who already hated this man, had his dream of wearing the divine weapon completely shattered by him.

For a moment——

The raging rage could no longer be contained and burst out from his eyes.

Anyone could see that Odysseus looked as if he wanted to eat someone.

On the other hand, Diomedes also found it difficult to accept this matter.

As the strongest mortal hero who was born in Greece, an era where people rely on their parents for support, but can only rely on himself to start from scratch and has no powerful artifacts, God knows how much Diomedes desires this kind of artifact set, and he fantasizes about it every day.

I finally took a gamble, betting all my money and family assets, thinking that my sincerity could "move" Patroclus, and you told me that you chose Palamedes? !

Unlike Odysseus, Diomedes was not looking at Palamedes at this time, but staring at Patroclus.

The man who had failed his 'heavy' faith and sponsorship.

I have never bowed my head in my life, but today, I emptied my family's savings to help others, but I was deceived and betrayed.

——!!! How dare you, how dare you say, pronounce another name.

Diomedes' eyes turned red!

Diomedes was so angry that he even felt that the god of war Ares was standing in front of him. His unbearable exploding heart could burst out with endless power to help him tear this hateful man to pieces.

Patroclus, who had no idea how many people he had offended with his words, had already put himself in the spotlight and continued to speak according to what he had been taught the night before: "Even our wise man Odysseus once said that Palamedes is the most knowledgeable among us, and his clever brain can perfectly deal with various situations.

I believe he can play the role of Achilles perfectly.

All we need is Achilles to appear on the battlefield and get on his chariot to bring endless courage and morale to the soldiers.

He didn't need to fight.

In this case——with Palamedes's ability, he is already perfect enough to play Achilles."

When Patroclus spoke out all his thoughts in one breath with reasoning.

Even the old man Nestor, the sage who had previously encouraged Patroclus to ask for equipment, felt like he had gotten to know this naive man all over again.

Is this still what Patroclus, the idiot who has no self-awareness and is only worthy of being used as a pawn, said?

He actually has such a general insight.

Nestor frowned. It seemed that it was not impossible to let Palamedes come.

Meanwhile, Diomedes shook for the second time!

???

Odysseus, what's the matter with you? Is this your business?

Not to mention Diomedes, Odysseus himself was a little confused now. Did I say such a thing?

It seems true - something similar seemed to have been said at the banquet a few days ago.

But just for this reason, you chose Palamedes?

Odysseus' expression was also very interesting at this time. After knowing where he lost, the feeling of being so aggrieved that he wanted to vomit blood became even deeper.

He felt extremely depressed and regretful.

According to what Patroclus has said now, doesn't it support choosing a smart, responsive guy to disguise Achilles?

'If Palamedes hadn't been there, I would have been chosen.' Once this thought came into my mind, it could never be shaken off.

Odysseus even ignored Diomedes' angry and oppressive gaze.

The whole person seemed to have lost his soul, staring blankly - evil thoughts were growing in his mind, and he kept thinking - if there was no Palamedes! !

No one noticed that something was wrong with Odysseus.

Even Diomedes, who was angry, didn't have the patience to observe so much.

Only Night, after noticing Odysseus' current appearance.

I silently repeated the word "nine years" in my heart.

That was the resentment that Odysseus had accumulated for nine years before he decided to take action against Palamedes in the original myth.

The longer the war lasted, the more he thought about how his son would have grown up by now. As a father, he should have been enjoying the parent-child relationship and training his son to become an outstanding hero. However, because Palamedes came to this battlefield, the fighting had lasted for nine years and was not over yet.

At that time, all the pain and guilt for not being able to be with his new wife and son when they needed him the most would turn into hatred towards Palamedes.

This made Odysseus, who was able to restrain himself at the beginning and only wanted to end the war and return home as soon as possible, start to embark on a journey of no return. He was so cruel that he was like a madman and wanted to attack his comrade-in-arms who had worked with him for nine years.

And Ye had reason to believe that Odysseus's resentment, which would have taken nine years to accumulate to reach its peak, had probably been infinitely shortened by what had just happened.

And perhaps all he needs to do is to give him a push from behind.

Hiss~!! Thinking this way, I am too bad.

But you must never be soft-hearted and ruthless to your enemies. This is what you taught me through your own experiences in the myths.

For a moment, Ye felt pity for Odysseus and Palamedes.

But not much——!

Now that we have confirmed that he is the enemy, there is no problem in beating him to death.

then--

Finally, an extremely dramatic scene appeared.

In the presence of Agamemnon and countless heroes, Palamedes put on the armor taken away from Patroclus.

But there are no weapons -

In response, Patroclus said that Palamedes was not strong enough to lift the magic spear.

However, he did not mention the embarrassing incident in which he tried to use the magic gun without knowing his own ability, but ended up dropping the gun on the ground.

Palamedes didn't care that he failed to obtain the divine spear.

He had no intention of fighting. According to what he had said before, he would just show up on the battlefield and ride around in his chariot for a few rounds, right? There would be no direct battle.

(Ye: That’s right, but when you’re on the battlefield, you have no say!)

Chapter 67: Agamemnon's Future: Griffith, save me! My hero!

Agamemnon: "That's all right then...

Let’s continue with the issue of plan one.

I have already sent the invitation to the duel to Troy, and they have agreed.

Under the witness of our great father Zeus and the gods, the sacred duel will begin tomorrow afternoon!

All heroes must be present this time--!"

"Everyone?!" the heroes exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right! You guys are going too, including Odysseus and Griffith.

Troy agreed to the duel invitation, but required a three-game format!

The winner will get Helen, the most beautiful woman in Greece..."

When Agamemnon finished speaking, there was a sudden shock in the crowd.

From the original one-on-one duel between Paris and the King of Sparta, it finally became a team system?

Wait, the hero Odysseus found the loophole in Agamemnon's words.

The problem of Achilles' armor, this sad thing has become an irreversible past, rather than continue to sink into it, than that -

Now Odysseus noticed something else that was very attractive to a man.

In Greece -

There are only a few unchanging things that attract heroes.

Divine artifacts, wealth, glory - and the indispensable "beauty"!

Odysseus asked, "Isn't it Paris or Menelaos (the victim) but the winner?

King Agamemnon—I think this is something that needs to be clarified.”

Agamemnon: "This is the will of the gods - our duel has been approved by the gods, and they are willing to serve as witnesses.

But in order to make the duel more challenging, the fight was changed to each side sending out three heroes.

The hero who wins the most games will be the winner, and he will have the right to dispose of the spoils as he pleases."

When he said this, Agamemnon's heart was slightly moved, and he did not force the heroes to return the spoils to their original owner - his younger brother, the King of Sparta.

In other words, as long as you are a man, it is impossible not to be moved by Helen.

When Helen grew up, many young and handsome princes and heroes went to ask for the princess' hand in marriage but were rejected and almost had a fight with each other, but in the end, her younger brother got the chance.

King Agamemnon also had an idea in his mind that all the spoils obtained by the heroes on this battlefield should be shared with him.

He is the king of heroes! It was like this with Briseis last time, and it was no exception this time.

On the other hand, after hearing Agamemnon's words, Odysseus and other heroes all had green, wolf-like eyes.

The victim, the King of Sparta, suddenly felt a green mark on his head.

His face looked very ugly - the trophy was naturally Helen, and given the nature of these heroes, would they return the trophy to its original owner if they really got it?

On the other hand, after listening to the whole song, Ye remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he exclaimed - wonderful!!!

The gods said that it was to add to the challenge, and it was obvious that their interest was aroused and they wanted to make it more interesting. They were afraid that Greece and Troy would not be able to fight to the death!

This is not the case of being a notary with good intentions. It's just that the words "ill-intentioned" and "playful person (god)" are written all over his face.

A bunch of scumbag gods——!

If Ye remembered correctly, Helena was the biological daughter of the great god Zeus.

He is a demigod born after Zeus had an affair with the queen of the human kingdom.

The gods dared to make such a promise, so they must have obtained Zeus' approval.

Is it possible for a human being to send his own daughter away as a trophy?

What a beast——!

But when I think about Zeus, he even married his daughter to Hades, and then turned into his brother Hades to mess with Persephone.

Zeus, the great god who is touted as omnipotent in mythology, is probably a spiritual cuckold and a pervert.

Zeus was the main god who guided all of this behind the scenes.

Considering that in this war, several main gods have descended to the mortal world and disguised themselves as human heroes, Zeus might even transform himself into a hero to re-enact the chaos in the underworld. Do you think he would do this - Ye Du believes it!

Afterwards, Agamemnon asked all the heroes to cheer, which was also the request of the gods, so that every hero had the opportunity to participate.

Night was noncommittal about this——

I can only change the plan according to the changes.
