Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

However, Artemis snorted coldly with divine power, suddenly interrupting the authority of the goddess of beauty and freeing the gods from their obsession with the goddess of beauty.

Finally, after a heated discussion among the gods.

They were very interested in several heroes recommended by the Greek side.

But I still gritted my teeth and removed a few of them.

First of all, there are heroes like Ajax the Younger and Telepolemus who are obviously just filling in the numbers and have no real achievements.

Although these heroes seem very confident in choosing themselves, the gods don't care whether you are confident or not. They are obviously more interested in those better heroes who have well-known legends or have already made their mark on the battlefield.

What made the goddess of beauty grit her teeth and feel dissatisfied was that the title of hero Griffith was also removed from the list.

After all, the gods are more interested in the legends of his ancestor Kratos.

However, people like Athena and Artemis who discovered the value of Night kept it to themselves and had no intention of publicizing Night's current achievements and shining points.

Finally, Ajax the Great, who was obviously better at defense, was eliminated.

They don't want a fierce battle between heroes to turn into a turn-based battle, which would be much less entertaining.

As long as Ajax the Great holds up his shield and stands there, he could probably fight any hero for a whole day.

It's a struggle between shield and spear, who is stronger?

What the gods wanted to see more was a fight between spears, like the battle for the title of the strongest hero - the fight between Hector and Achilles.

One of the gods suddenly asked in surprise why he didn't see Achilles' name on the list. Wasn't the demigod on the battlefield at that moment?

The aura of Achilles' divine armor was blocked. Even if the gods did not investigate specifically, they did not realize that the man wearing Achilles' armor on the Greek battlefield below was not Achilles, but the handsome music prince Palamedes who was not good at fighting.

"Since Hector is on the scene, how can Achilles be missing?" a god once spoke.

It immediately received unanimous approval from all the gods.

Finally, sitting on the throne, the silver-haired God King Zeus, who was shining with a faint silver-white divine light like thunder, bathed in thunder and had a terrifying aura, and dressed in Greek-style open-chested clothing, said with dignity without anger: "Then count Achilles in.

As for the other person, let's choose Odysseus."

Between the final candidates Odysseus and Diomedes, Zeus chose Odysseus without hesitation.

After all, in the Osiris legend, the hero has always been protected by the gods. Even though he secretly planned and framed Palamedes to death, was abandoned by the gods and almost killed by the goddess of justice, he was still favored by Zeus, the king of gods who was not his biological father but was actually his biological father, and was sent all the way back home.

Although Diomedes, recommended by Athena, seemed to be even stronger, Zeus still chose the hero he liked more.

soon--

The final list is out.

The Greek side received information from the messenger of the gods, this time it was not Hermes but the rainbow goddess Iris.

Hermes, the main god, was already waiting above, preparing to enjoy the show that was about to begin.

After seeing Achilles as the contestant, many Greek heroes, led by Agamemnon, were stunned for a moment.

"Wait, wait—Achilles?"

"How did it get the name Achilles?"

“We never nominated him.”

At this time, Odysseus, who reacted the fastest, looked at Palamedes who was wearing Achilles' armor and immediately realized that something was wrong.

etc--

Would the gods mistake this fake Palamedes for the real Achilles?

If we go to the battlefield like this...

Suddenly I found myself becoming the most capable fighter on our side.

Odysseus actually began to hesitate.

The opponent will most likely choose Hector.

They lack top combat power, but if Palamedes is replaced by other heroes, at least Hector's physical strength can be consumed. If he can grasp the timing of appearance, Odysseus feels that he has a great chance of taking advantage of the opportunity.

But if all my teammates become a burden, then there’s no way we can play.

Even though he always felt that heroes like Diomedes and Ajax the Great were his strong competitors.

But they are also the most reliable teammates.

If there is no top hero to help, how can I fight two teams by myself?

Odysseus's face darkened at this time, he became a little upset and started to get scared.

Can this be fought?

Wait, isn’t this just a direct delivery?

However, at this time, the goddess Iris had already loudly announced the list of players in front of the two armies.

Both sides will be asked to prepare who will be sent for the first battle. There will be a countdown of one minute and thirty seconds. If no one comes on the field, the team will be automatically declared the loser.

!!!

Well, now all of Greece and Troy know the list of players going into battle.

Should we stand up and say that Achilles is not here at all?

It seems that I have accidentally committed the crime of deceiving the gods.

Even though this deception was not intentional on their part, the main target of the deception at the beginning was the hostile Trojan army.

But based on Odysseus's understanding of the gods, if he told the truth now, the consequences would probably be even more tragic.

What kind of punishment will the angry gods bring down?

Thinking of this, Odysseus could no longer hold back and immediately whispered to the heroes his guess.

Then all the Greek heroes were stunned.

Chapter 84: What a noble man! Look, he is trembling with pain!

???

——Huh?! The one with the most complicated feelings at this moment was Palamedes.

He was originally just pulled over to boost morale and stand in front of the battle as a mascot, but in the end, the gods all thought he was the real Achilles...

He was even chosen by the gods to participate in the duel.

Is there anything more outrageous than this?

For a moment, the heroes' faces were all very interesting.

Palamedes himself was even more panicked.

At this time, someone from the Trojan side had already walked out. It was none other than Paris, the weakest of the three people in the Trojan camp.

Paris leads the way——

Apparently, Troy was planning to let Paris test the waters first and consume the fighting power of the Greek heroes at the same time.

Hector and Penthesilea had not prepared at all for Paris' victory, so they simply let him go first, so as to consume as much energy as possible from the enemy, and at the same time they could observe the enemy's weaknesses.

But on the Greek side, no one has come out yet.

It's already too late to back down. It's not right to let Palamedes appear, and it's not right not to appear either. Palamedes' strength is too weak and it's too easy to be exposed.

However, Agamemnon and others, who also did not want to commit blasphemy, did not know what to do at this moment.

Even Odysseus, who usually had the worst relationship with Palamedes, was not in the mood to gloat over his misfortune.

Now that all of Greece is watching with so many eyes (soldiers), if we simply declare that the gods are wrong and that they don't have Achilles here, it would be tantamount to rebelling against the gods' authority and telling the world that the gods are blind.

This is a great humiliation to the gods.

Shooting oneself in the foot is just like that -!

But now is not the time to shirk responsibility. Odysseus's mind was racing. He realized that he couldn't escape, so he had to bite the bullet.

But maybe it's not that bad.

They might not win the duel, but they could still use their previous plan.

"Listen! Palamedes! No, Achilles!

You play the first game.

Paris is skilled with the bow, but you are wearing the armor of the great hero, Achilles.

That perfect and hard armor is enough to block all attacks for you.

Relying on the power of this armor, if you can defeat Paris, or even better, capture him alive, we can still proceed according to the original plan.

As long as the battle ends quickly enough -

No one will realize that this Achilles is not the Achilles they know. "Odysseus said.

This is the only way they can still win, if they can no longer change sides.

Even if they could capture Paris, even if they lost the duel, they would only lose Helen, but they could still find other excuses to attack Troy. (Odysseus felt bitter but he didn't say: Helen! Oh, my Helen!)

As long as Paris was in their hands, they could even use Paris to threaten the enemy as planned.

When Odysseus said that bold idea.

The heroes actually thought it was possible.

Although Palamedes' strength was not very strong, he was at least wearing Achilles' armor.

Isn't it easy to beat Paris?

After so many twists and turns, I never expected the situation would turn out like this.

Ye was also a little surprised——

But such a good opportunity? How could we watch Greece survive a crisis safely?

Suddenly, Ye, who had originally planned to just sit back and watch the battle, couldn't help but want to take action.

In that case——

Then he should cause more damage!

It was even very simple. He only needed to expose Palamedes' identity on the battlefield.

At this time, Palamedes himself was trembling with fear.

Wait, you really have to do it yourself.

Palamedes widened his eyes. This was different from the original plan. It was agreed that he would just stand at the back and show his face as a mascot.

But I also feel that this seems to be the only dead end left.

Agamemnon also made a decision at this moment and adopted Odysseus's opinion.

As the heroes urged Palamedes to act quickly, the time for the meeting was almost up.

Palamedes felt that his legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead and he could not move.

And at this moment——

The night strings were plucked, and a song of encouragement and practice, a melody symbolizing courage, sounded. He said to Palamedes: "May you return safely on this journey - regardless of wind or rain."

When everyone was asking Palamedes to win, or even capture Paris alive, to make Hector cautious, the Greeks might still have a chance to win.

Only Ye Danran played the piano to tell him to "come back safely".

At this time, even if Ye did not ask for anything, compared with the heavy pressure that other heroes brought to Palamedes, the words that asked him to return safely were particularly heartwarming.

The fear in Palamedes' heart seemed to be lessened a lot, especially since he was a person who was very proficient in music, and the sentimental emotions as a troubadour were aroused.

He looked towards Ye with emotion. Although he was not familiar with this 'Griffith' before, if he could come back alive from the battlefield, he would definitely become friends with him.

At this moment, Palamedes, whose eyes were filled with emotion, did not realize that, hidden under the melody just now, Ye inadvertently mobilized a concept of several sets of divine armor.

A conceptual body inherited from Achilles' artifact set.

Just at that moment, Ye attached that conceptual body to Palamedes, the real body of the armor in this world, and then secretly tampered with it.
