Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

Not to mention that Ye was swearing in front of the gods...

He had already realized that even if he allowed Ye to believe in both him and his daughter Artemis, the other party probably would not agree.

Zeus was filled with regret and disappointment.

He could only hide his thoughts temporarily and told Ye that the goddess of beauty strongly recommended him to represent Greece in the next duel.

Zeus wanted to hear Ye's inner thoughts.

Originally, he had not yet decided whether to choose this hero and wanted to take a look first.

But the moment he saw Griffith, the scales in Zeus' heart began to lean towards him.

On the other side, when he heard Zeus' question.

Not only the many heroes on the Greek side, but also the Trojan side were very surprised.

The gods - chose 'Griffith'?

The Greeks at least knew about the battle with Diomedes overnight.

Troy's intelligence on Griffith was completely empty.

They were surprised at the gods' choice and were also curious about Ye. Could it be that he possessed a powerful strength comparable to his beauty?

At this time, Ye himself——

"What?"

I never expected that it would be the goddess of beauty who was causing trouble.

Not being able to do so resulted in him exposing his demonic beauty, and now he is required to participate in the duel.

Frowning slightly - Ye didn't intend to refuse, and soon felt relieved.

Based on the character he has established now, he cannot avoid this battle.

And since Hector knows himself, it is completely possible for him to play a fake game.

All he had to consider was meeting the other two Trojan heroes, and how much effort he would have to put in to defeat them without killing them.

Or be defeated by the other party...? No, no, since it is a battle, there is absolutely no reason to be willing to be the loser.

Just forget about the option of whether to drain the water and exit early.

Even if I have to be an undercover agent, I will never compromise myself. Since I am going to the battlefield, I must be the most handsome one.

This is also a battle for Griffith, a hero serving as the Moon Goddess, to defend the dignity of the Goddess and win glory for the beloved deity.

Therefore, we must not only fight, but also fight beautifully.

Well, this is a fight you started, and I'm fighting back.

Well, come on!

The warlike side of the dragon began to awaken.

So Ye shouted out his answer: "I am willing to fight for Greece, fight for my goddess, and take back the supreme glory.

Great God King, even though I am as weak as dust, I am always ready to sacrifice myself for my motherland and shed my blood.

I only dedicate myself to my homeland and the gods."

In silence, when everything is quiet, the loud sounds of the night pierce through the sky and resound in everyone's ears.

People were stunned——

There was no hesitation or wavering in the answer.

Beautiful~! Bang, and then they all stared at the silver-haired figure.

The unwavering will that no one could ignore and the determination in her eyes shocked heroes and attracted gods.

At this moment, Artemis, the goddess of night, fell into a trance, with an inconsolable joy rising in her heart.

"Fight for me...?"

He simply ignored the rest of what Ye said and just remembered the words about fighting for his beloved goddess.

Artemis suddenly wasn't so disgusted with the goddess of beauty's calculations.

Although she forced Ye to join the battle.

But as a god, you should also trust your followers.

Believe in that invaluable passion.

Similarly, on the other side, the goddess Athena saw Artemis's joy that was beyond words.

I was once again convinced that the hunting goddess might have really met a human being worthy of her love.

And looking at the heroic figure who is willing to step onto the battlefield and dedicate himself to his gods even though he is not a warrior (musician).

Athena, who had already had a favorable impression of his previous performance, couldn't help but think of this -

It's normal for a goddess to be attracted to such a person.

After all, she herself has deeply loved such charming humans since a very long time ago, but what she loves is the huge human species, and even more so the inherent possibilities of humans.

"For love, humans can be particularly gentle, but also particularly strong!"

Chapter 90 Palamedes: Tell him quickly that ordinary people cannot lift that weapon!

This is heroic poetry, the favorite story of the Greek gods.

Ye's courage was recognized by the gods. Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Apollo, the god of light, suddenly spoke up and said sadly -

How tragic it is that you let a musician, a troubadour, take up arms and fight against strong heroes.

Are we going to use the strings of a harp to kill heroes with strong bodies and skilled in fighting?

This is an unfair fight!

On the earth -

The Amazon queen frowned when she heard this.

Although he is an enemy, he is more likely to be the target of the next battle.

But looking at that pitiful, calm and handsome face.

Penthesilea seemed to understand why her sister Hippolyte was so obsessed with heroes, and finally was deceived and suffered an ominous fate.

It's just that she doesn't like the wild or strong types.

It was not until I saw that devilish face that I realized that even though I was a warrior, I was still a woman.

When I see a handsome guy, I blush...

This is regrettable. It would be a pity if such a beautiful person, who is as beautiful as a painting that people cannot bear to break, died on the battlefield because of the disadvantages of weapons and armor.

certainly--

Penthesilea had no intention of letting this go.

Rather, as a demigod who stepped onto this battlefield carrying the hatred of her sister Hippolyta, to her, any hero standing on the Greek side is her enemy.

Especially the heroes related to Hercules deserved to die at her hands.

She is not the kind of hero who would be unable to move because of beauty.

At most, it's like the original myth where Achilles was killed, and when his helmet flew off he discovered that it was a beauty, and he sighed with regret.

She would probably sigh after killing Ye -

It's such a pity that such a beautiful person died on the battlefield, died in her own hands.

As the Amazon women's country, women can only look for men outside. If they see someone they like, they have to knock him out and bring him back. It may not be easy to satisfy the requirements of queens of all generations.

Honestly, I hope Greece is smarter and let Griffith appear last.

This way, maybe he wouldn't have to die at his own hands, like dying under Hector's spear -

To die at the hands of the strongest Trojan warrior while still retaining a lot of dignity and honor was the best ending for him.

'Those thin arms and legs, and skin that is more beautiful than a beautiful girl, can they really fight? ' Because people are often judged by their appearance, Penthesilea, who even wears full-body armor for this reason, inevitably does what he hates the most.

Judging a book by its cover——!

And at this time——

In the sky, Apollo's questioning.

The gods also remembered that the other side's hero's name came from a musician rather than a serious combat unit.

They almost forgot that it was his grandfather Kratos, not this Griffith, who slayed the dragon.

But since the king of gods Zeus had already spoken, there was no way he would take back his order.

The gods understood immediately——

This is asking for benefits on behalf of the hero.

At this time, Athena said: "In this case, I have a suggestion. Why not let Griffith wear the armor of Achilles?"

Let Griffith fight in Achilles' armor?

Achilles' armor is indeed rare, a top-notch armor that even heroes covet.

But his suit is not something that just anyone can wear.

It is difficult for a warrior with weak strength to exert his original combat effectiveness even if he wears this top-level armor. This is true for the original friend A - Patroclus, and the current scapegoat who has been beaten half to death - Palamedes.

Does Athena think that the other party can fight wearing such top-grade armor?

Zeus: "That's a good idea indeed..."

Athena: "Then we'll have to trouble Hermes to go find Achilles and bring his spear. Armor and shield alone, without weapons... can't help a warrior win."

Zeus: "Hermes, go and make a trip."

Hermes nodded. Well - another errand boy, he was used to it.

It is easy to find Achilles if he is not hiding.

Hermes used his power to spy and explore a bit, and then he went to the beach.

When the god Hermes asked to borrow his weapon,

On the coast, Achilles subconsciously refused.

And when he heard who was going to wear his armor and weapons.

Achilles: "Say it again, who will represent Greece in the war?"

Hermes: "It's Griffith - the descendant of the dragon-slaying hero, the descendant of Kratos, the hero Griffith."

Achilles: “…………

Well, take the weapons, since you are fighting for Greece."

Hermes was stunned. You didn't say that before. You looked so angry and almost took out your anger on me.

Although I don’t know why Achilles suddenly changed his mind, it’s fine as long as the other party agrees.

After all, the sea nymph is his mother and Zeus is his grandfather.

Hermes didn't want to get into a pointless argument with this demigod if it wasn't necessary.

And when Hermes left with Achilles' spear, although it was a difficult weapon for mortals to pick up, it was naturally not a limit for the god Hermes.

Achilles looked at the departing gods, with a hint of amusement and weirdness in his eyes.

ha?

They actually chose a Trojan to represent Greece in the battle.

Although I don't know what's going on with that guy.

but--

Thinking of the meteor attack that had defeated him and replicated his unique skill, Achilles was looking forward to seeing the expressions of the heroes and gods when his unique skill appeared on the battlefield again.
