Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

It was like a layer of bubble film, covering the night, keeping it intact despite the tidal attack of the god of war's divine power.

At that moment, I really felt like calling out to the goddess and then letting my little universe burn.

The feeling of being enveloped in all directions by Athena's gentle divine power.

Hiss——~!

Night: This damn, indescribable feeling of security.

Ares: "What?!!"

Obviously, the God of War was confused by the sudden intervention of divine power.

He even thought that the moon goddess Artemis would suddenly come out to stop him, but he never expected that Athena's power would appear and help Griffith.

Although a little surprised, Ares soon snorted coldly.

"Even if you and Artemis die together, you can't stop me, Athena!!" I don't know where this confidence comes from - the baby god of war even dares to fight two people alone. When it comes to confidence, he has never been scared.

After saying that, Ares wanted to forcibly break through Athena's divine protection and continue to attack Ye.

Athena frowned, a hint of anger flashing through her heart.

Even though he knew that she also protected Griffith, he still chose to stubbornly challenge the two powerful goddesses.

She didn't expect Ares to be so persistent.

Athena, who was unwilling to fight with the god of war here, used her divine power to stir up a strong wind.

At the moment when Ares, the god of war, was blocked from sensing——

Ye felt a pair of soft hands holding his body, and then Athena's low voice sounded in his ears: "Follow me——!"

Outside, wait until the wind and sand pass.

There was nothing in front of Ares' eyes. Seeing Ye disappear on the spot, the God of War let out an angry and unwilling roar.

It's you again, Yadina!

"How many times are you going to go against me--!" Ares made a disgusted sound.

He won't give up——!

As long as Griffith is still in Greece, he will always have the opportunity to cast his own Chaos Protection on it.

At the same time on the other side.

Athena used her divine power to block the god of war's perception and brought him all the way to Agamemnon's palace.

There was no one here at this moment—

Since Ares descended to the mortal world, this place has been occupied by the god of war, and no mortal is allowed to approach.

And now Ares would never have thought that they would hide here.

Athena: "Do you know why I brought you here?"

Ye: "The most dangerous place is the safest place..."

Athena: “Smart!

But Ares will come back sooner or later, and once he gets here, he will find us soon.

You can't stay in the Greek camp anymore, Griffith.

I'm sorry - even though I promised to protect you.

But I can't start a war between gods here just for you.

The king of gods, Zeus, has been watching here - without his permission, the Father of Heaven forbids direct fighting between the gods. "

Zeus?

After hearing Athena's words, Ye discovered a loophole.

Obviously, based on the situation here, the God King who was always paying attention to the earth could not be unaware of what was happening.

But he allowed Ares to do whatever he wanted in the Greek camp.

He did not intervene when Artemis fought Athena, but he did not allow the gods to fight again.

It seemed that he saw the doubts in Ye's heart.

Athena smiled and said, "You should be able to figure out why...

Maybe it was a test, or maybe he had other ideas.

If Ares fails, many gods will give up the same idea as him, but if he succeeds——"

night:……!

Athena seemed to read his mind. He didn't say anything yet, but just asked and answered himself with ambiguous questions.

Although Zeus was not mentioned in every sentence, every sentence seemed to be hinting at someone, as if he had deliberately allowed the current situation to occur -!

Chapter 122 Night??? Should I pretend to be in pain and cooperate with them?

Good job——!

Among this group of gods, Zeus must be one of them, right?

Ye's heart tightened, and following Athena's words, he already had the answer.

If a young and inexperienced Ares could succeed, the other gods would surely become restless.

Those gods who have ideas about him will use their own ways and various means to snatch him away.

That old bastard Zeus might be the first to bear the brunt.

The thought that there might be some methods among the gods that are more tyrannical and terrifying than the soul enslavement of the God of War makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

hiss~!

Never let that happen.

Athena: "So you can't stay here in Greece anymore."

Athena sighed.

“I originally thought that Ares would stop for my sake.

But he would rather offend two goddesses to get you.

Of course - even though the situation is terrible, I still won't give up on you.

Griffith - you now have two choices, one is for me to escort you away from this battlefield and escape back to Greece, the other is..."

Ye frowned: "Greece is a land protected by the gods. With Ares' ability, it shouldn't be difficult for him to find me.

Unless you can use your divine power to help me block Ares's perception. "

Athena hesitated for a few seconds. She had really thought about it, but unfortunately she still had a lot of things to do here and couldn't leave her post without permission. Otherwise, it would be a good trip to travel around Greece with Griffith and the others. "...Then we can only go with the second method."

Night: "What?"

Athena: "To Troy!"

When that familiar name came out of the mouth of the goddess Athena.

Ye's heart beat violently.

"Troy?!"

Athena: “Yes—the city-state protected by Apollo, the god of light, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love.

Now they are in hostile relationship with the Greek coalition led by Ares.

Only there can you escape Ares's sight. You will be absolutely safe until Troy is conquered."

I don’t know if it was out of selfishness, but Athena didn’t mention that she could send Ye to the temple of Artemis.

Artemis' power is enough to protect his dependent from being taken away by other gods.

But once Griffith goes back, he will probably never set foot on this battlefield again, and she will no longer be able to witness the amazing heroic glory and the new chapter of the hero's road.

I want to witness more—miracles happening to heroes right before my eyes.

Witness the end of his bravery and the ending of the story in the distant future.

Athena, with this expectation, after stating the two choices, looked at Ye quietly, waiting for his response.

Ye: "...! How can I abandon Greece and go to a foreign country?

If I had chosen to flee the battlefield or defect to the enemy country because I was afraid of death, my motherland and my parents would have regarded me as a disgrace.

If you could understand the determination in my heart, you would know that nothing can make that heart deviate or waver."

Ye's firm determination and the beautiful blooming of his ideal flower made Athena slightly stunned.

She couldn't help but ask, "Even if you were in danger from Ares, the god of war, and there was the possibility of your soul being enslaved, would you not surrender to Troy?"

Ye: “No!”

The answer was firm and decisive, and Ye felt an extremely subtle and strange feeling in his heart - 'I came here as an undercover agent, so even if I go back, it can't be considered as defection. It's as easy as going back home, okay?'

Of course - you can't say that for sure.

Athena, who didn't know the details behind this, paused for a moment.

In his eyes, are the heroes who set foot on this battlefield chasing after the glory that others think is naive and foolish really all fools?

This was true for Achilles, Hector, and even now for Griffith.

Athena felt a little touched.

They knew that the road ahead was a road that would lead to death, but they still resolutely set out on it, hoping to use their own will to open up new possibilities.

Or - be completely swallowed up in the storm of destruction.

"Well said--!!!" An excited voice rang out after someone had stepped into the tent at some point.

That night he looked over and saw that it was Agamemnon.

The goddess Athena's expression did not change, probably because she had already noticed Agamemnon's arrival.

But she didn't care about King Agamemnon, who was a mortal.

Even if Agamemnon showed any intention of informing the enemy, she would use her divine power to restrain him at any time.

At this moment, it seems that the Greek king not only has no intention of informing others, but on the contrary -

Agamemnon: "I don't think I've come at the right time."

He smiled and bowed respectfully to the goddess Athena...

"I'm sorry, I accidentally overheard the conversation between you, Goddess Athena, and Griffith.

I also have something to say, can you listen to me?"

After receiving the goddess's signal——

Agamemnon looked at Ye solemnly: "Griffith--! You should leave...!

Although I'm glad to hear what you said just now.

As a king, I have seen your love for the land of Greece. There is no hero in the world who loves this land more deeply than you.

But that's why you should leave here and go to Troy...!

I am a failed king, unable to protect my subjects from harm...

We still have to pin our hopes on the enemy."

When Agamemnon said this, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he seemed very unwilling to just let the god of war Ares control him.

Not only was the kingship suppressed by the divine power, causing him to lose control of the Greek army's combat power, but he was also unable to protect Griffith. At the same time, he was actually afraid of the power of the God of War, and felt very ashamed of his own weakness...

Extremely incompetent——!

"Griffith! Listen to me...

I have a mission for you! This is a mission that only you can accomplish.
