Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

Chapter 74: The Anchor Point of the Transition Period of Mythology and History, the Common Destiny of Greece, Rome and Ancient Babylon

Night: "Don't you know Adonis? The god of vegetation in spring, the son of the king of Cyprus."

Aphrodite: “Who is that?

The current King of Cyprus has only one daughter... and no sons."

Aphrodite felt a little confused.

On the other side, the shock in Ye's heart was even greater than hers.

The King of Cyprus has no sons, only daughters?

Is it that everything has not happened yet? Then, because of jealousy, she suffered the curse of love and was forced to fall madly in love with her father. Is Mira still acting like her own princess?

Aphrodite seemed to have eyes that could see through people's hearts.

She looked at Ye meaningfully and suddenly said, “Adonis…is it related to me?

Do you see anything, child of Prometheus?

The words here do not really mean that Ye is the son of Prometheus, but specifically refer to those people who, like the wise Prometheus, are suspected to have the ability to see the future and predict the future.

"Let me think - the birth of Adonis has something to do with me, right?

Ah, you are the only one in all Greece who has ever interested me, my dear hero.

If there really is an Adonis in this world, then there can only be you..." Aphrodite confessed affectionately.

certainly--

She felt that she really fell in love with the child at first sight.

It was not love, but pure affection. As night fell, Aphrodite felt even more of a favorite and passionate breath.

It seemed as if it was meant to be born from her, containing her future love for this child (Rome).

It is not about simple love between men and women, but it is much deeper and broader, like the love of a mother for her child, the love of lovers for lovers, and the love of dreamers for their dreams. That is her ideal world.

Seeing such a tiny person standing in front of him made his eyes blurry, as if he was seeing the distant future.

In such a world, there will be no more pursuit of dirty male gods, no oppression, no power. She can become the most innocent and free goddess who brings peace.

There are new students there...

Speaking of herself, Aphrodite felt that her fate was very tragic.

The birth version of the god of love in this world is that she is the daughter of the great god Zeus and the goddess Dione of Dodona, a goddess of the Oceanic God system.

Although both were daughters of Zeus, she was not as lucky as Artemis to receive Zeus' pure blessing and favor so early on.

She is not as powerful as Athena, who is not strong enough to defend everything she has with strength and wisdom.

It is even worse than Persephone marrying a powerful male god. Although Hades is a little gloomy, his facial features are handsome. He protects the Queen of the Underworld very well and does not have as many scandals as the other two brothers.

As the goddess of beauty, blessed with the concept of beauty and coveted by almost all heroes and gods in Greece, she was first forced by Zeus.

That disgusting man, as a father, had to take action against his daughter. Because she refused to obey, he married her to his ugly brother, the god of fire Hephaestus.

The Goddess of Love naturally would not allow the ugly God of Forging and Fire to touch her. That narcissistic and arrogant man not only liked her, but also Athena. He had no self-awareness of his own strength and appearance.

But it was also after marrying the god of fire that the goddess of beauty, who had originally sworn to never obey Zeus, began to spread various scandals and legends.

What could make a person change so much in one day? Was it because he had given up everything?

Do not--

Only Aphrodite knew how she had struggled all these years to prevent others from coveting her.

Look for all kinds of powerful and handsome people, whether they are gods or humans, use your power to charm them, and then create mental illusions to make them think they are having sex with the god of love.

Everything that people and gods saw was just what Aphrodite wanted them to see.

This is the terrifying concept of beauty.

Even the king of gods Zeus didn't notice anything wrong.

She deliberately fabricated and spread rumors that were unfavorable to her, making everyone think that she was a shrew.

Even her sons were created by splitting her body using her divine power.

This is all to reduce the attention of powerful gods who are eyeing them.

Apparently – Aphrodite succeeded.

Compared to her, the gods now prefer Artemis, who is like white moonlight, and Athena, who is wise, powerful and dazzling.

The bus is naturally not as attractive as a private car...

Aphrodite, knowing this well, continued to pretend.

This time was no exception. She pretended to be very interested in the boy from the human world in front of Hermes, and immediately came down to the human world impatiently.

But after meeting Ye in person, the aura of (Rome) made her involuntarily reveal her true love for him.

She wanted to get close to this child... There was no reason, just that being with him made her feel very comfortable, as if she no longer had to hide herself and live with a mask.

Aphrodite was very sad after vaguely feeling Ye's rejection and even the hidden disgust in her heart.

The sensitive girl thought of the possibility——

Is it because of his own legend?

But Aphrodite couldn't explain anything, she could only use her sincerity to impress Ye.

Just as she did to Anidos in the myth, he was the only boy who could make the god of love fall in love with him. She was so distraught because of being rejected that she fainted several times. After Anidos died, she risked her life and broke into the underworld to rescue him.

If there are other "lovers" in the myth of Aphrodite, they are only mentioned briefly.

Only the story of Adonis occupies a large chapter in its mythology.

As for Ye, he didn't understand what this goddess of beauty was all about.

But at this moment I knew that Adonis did not exist, especially the moment when the god of love suddenly said, "You and only you may be Adonis."

A huge, invisible yet tangible force of destiny suddenly descended upon Ye. The overwhelming cause and effect at that moment almost crushed Ye's soul.

grass--!!

After feeling the source of the cause and effect, Ye was almost frightened to death and cursed in his heart.

Greek, Roman, ancient Babylonian, and even more mythological systems.

In many mythological systems, there are different names and life experiences, but only one story is the eternal story.

It has established an anchor point in the long river of mythology and is a legend that can never be changed.

No, it’s not that it cannot be changed, but it is as critical as a transition period in human history.

No matter how different the parallel worlds are, they are converging on important historical issues in general. Once this historical trend is changed, human history may move towards another completely different and seemingly plausible era.

Aphrodite - In Rome she was Venus, the goddess of Venus and Friday.

From the Greek to the Roman era, almost all gods had corresponding constellations and dates, and had new images.

It's like sublimation and also like a new life.

Speaking of the goddess of Venus, this legend even influenced several neighboring regions, causing them to have new images after being spread to other myths.

For example, the great silver woman of ancient Babylon also married the "goddess of vegetation" and was forced (by the gods) to go to the underworld to rescue Ishtar.

The biggest difference between this and the myth of Venus is that one loves the god of plants, while the other does not.

Also with similar images are the Phoenician goddess Astarte and the Assyrian goddess Barīrītu.

Adonis, the son of sin whose beauty is original sin, was attracted to Venus, which made her descend from the universe to the earth, completing her mission of redemption and causing distinct changes in the four seasons on earth.

Although each mythological system has different legends, different gods caused the division of the four seasons in the world.

But in mythology, there are not so many people with multiple similar images and similar mythological experiences.

As for this special and critical node, if Ye had never paid attention to the name Adonis before and had no interest in the scandalous myth between him and the god of love, he only knew about it.

Now he was really shocked.

Wait, what's going on?

Ye was probably really sure that there was no Adonis in this world.

Otherwise, there would be no way that he would be recognized as carrying such a huge force of destiny based on just one word from the goddess of beauty.

Ye, who had no idea what this force of destiny was for, thought that no matter which mythological world it was in, the plant gods in their later years would be tragically imprisoned in the underworld for at least four months a year.

night:……!!

NM was cheated.

Xiang Lai was the only one who cheated others, but one day he was cheated by someone else.

For a moment, Ye's expression was exceptionally wonderful.

If he was strong enough, he would just want to punch the head of this dog goddess who was causing him trouble.

Chapter 75: The Scorpio Nebula shines, Hermes: Who made the goddess so angry?

Adonis——!

This is a powerful force of destiny from a god no matter which mythological system it is placed in. What can it bring to him?

Is it the charm that is more magical than the concept of beauty, or the fate of the natural god who will inevitably provoke the woman of Inwadang, be chased by the goddess symbolizing Venus, and wear many cuckolds?

If it was the Ishtar from the next singularity, he would be able to accept it, but if it was the ones from those myths, Chun Chun would be like a bunch of buses.

Ye: "I am the son of the moon, and a follower of the goddess of hunting and the moon, who is also your main god...

Lady Aphrodite, please respect yourself."

That night, he once again clearly rejected Aphrodite and suddenly activated the Moon Protection on his body.

When the strong breath and radiance of Artemis shone up, like the shining North Star, it instantly became the brightest thing on earth.

Suddenly——

The moon goddess Artemis, who was far away in the temple, felt this breath, and Ye had just read her name.

In Greece, when someone chanted the real names of the gods, the gods could hear it, but most of them ignored it, as if they had a self-identification filter.

These gods only have sharp ears when you insult or say something bad about them.

As a follower of Artemis, although Ye did not say any abusive words, he was still qualified to be noticed by Artemis.

In addition, Artemis has been looking over here from time to time recently, and immediately...

Artemis discovered that Aphrodite was chasing and forcing her followers.

This is really serious...

The Moon Goddess' temper flared up, and her eyes were filled with burning flames of anger.

In mythology, Artemis's character is completely different from gentleness. With the protection of her father, the king of gods, and her powerful brother Apollo, she is a goddess that few people dare to offend.

Boom~! ! !

On earth, just as Aphrodite was greatly shocked and aggrieved because of the clear rejection, she inexplicably felt as if her own child did not recognize her, but recognized a stepmother. What was going on?

Aphrodite had never experienced anything like this before, and it drove her crazy with jealousy and discomfort.

Especially since the person who stole the object of his affection was his mortal enemy, the moon goddess Artemis.

Aphrodite wanted to say something -

But at this moment, terrifying divine power descended from the sky.

The originally daytime world suddenly turned into night, stars appeared on the horizon, and the moon hung high in the sky, shining brightly, emitting strong light that echoed with the night on earth.

On the horizon, the starlight symbolizing Scorpio suddenly began to shine, and the constellation seemed to come alive and seemed ready to come down from the stars at any time.

This horrifying scene suddenly attracted countless beings.

The heroes far away in Troy also looked up in shock, walked out of the room, and looked at the scenery on the horizon.

“Scorpio——!”

Heaven - All the gods were awakened.
