Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

The sun fire on his magic gun is the biggest nemesis of the undead.

Even when facing some undead or undead knights, his magic gun should be able to kill the enemy completely.

But what happens now?

Kukonos: "..."

Ye: "This is not the power of Poseidon, and it is even less likely to be the power of Athena."

Although Athena also has some power of darkness and can be barely related to the underworld, in the neighboring world of God Slayer, she is set as the mistress of the underworld and a high-ranking underworld god similar to Hades.

But Ye, who is very familiar with Athena's power, can still sense whether these soldiers have Athena's power.

Not to mention that even if these soldiers have divine power, it would most likely be the power of Eris, who likes to disguise herself as other people to cause trouble.

finally--

Facing Ye's questioning, Kuknos spoke up: "When you see the scene before you, you know it all in your heart, right? That's right - it's the power of the goddess."

Night: "...Eris!"

This time outside the city, when Ye read out that name again, Kuknos did not refute it and insisted on saying something about Athena.

There are no civilians here anymore, so there is no need to pretend. Neither of them is a fool, and Ye almost understands their position.

"Did you gain the power to make your soldiers immortal by pledging your loyalty to Eris?" asked Dang Ye.

Kuknos said in a deep voice: "You can think so..."

Ye: "......! I thought it might be Poseidon behind you, but it was Eris. No wonder - your will seems to be clear, and there is no sign of being controlled at all."

Kuknos shook his head—and said nothing.

Ye frowned - he could understand that Kucnos didn't work for Poseidon, but he didn't understand why he went to work for Eris.

In the original book, Poseidon clearly supported Greece, but Cycnos still rebelled and went to help Troy.

He didn't care at all that Troy had humiliated Poseidon and had not given him money to build the city.

But how is he related to Eris?

That night, he killed another group of undead monsters while increasing the power of the sun's fire. This time, he stabbed an enemy to death and burned him directly at the atomic level until nothing was left.

Finally - under Ye Fenshen's attentive attention, the other party did not resurrect.

"It seems that the resurrection power bestowed upon you by your goddess is not without limit... Look, your companions are not resurrecting. Kuknos - there is one thing I don't quite understand.

As a son of the gods, why do you seek power from Eris instead of your father, and play with the souls of the dead?"

When he said this that night, it seemed as if something he said had touched Kuknos's nerves.

Unknown——?

The king, who had been silent all this time, suddenly burst into a startling roar.

"What do you understand?!"

Chapter 165: Although she is rumored to be a liar, she is the only hope

“You said it’s unclear…Are you trying to say it’s an evil force?

You call the power of the benevolent goddess who resurrected my compatriots and my people, gave us new life, and let us see hope, an ominous thing?!" Kuknos.

"Hero of charity, I have heard that you were willing to peel off Achilles' divine tools and return them to him. I admire your noble sentiments and soul.

But I also have my own beliefs. You don't understand what the goddess means to us, she is hope.

I can tell you what happened behind my back, and you can judge with your noble soul. "

As if stimulated by the words spoken the night before, Cycnos wanted to clear the name of his goddess, so he said this.

He even ordered the soldiers to temporarily stop attacking.

At the same time, this is also a means of seeking peace.

After knowing that Ye Neng could actually kill his soldiers, Kuknos felt a sense of urgency. After all, once killed by this man, people could not be resurrected.

He tried to use words to persuade Griffith to join them...

For this reason, Cycnos asked his goddess in his heart, and Eris ordered with interest that all the people under his control should stop attacking.

See this——

Ye was happy to rest more and buy some time, so he just planned to listen to what Kuknos had to say.

Kukonos: "You should know that I am the king of the Kingdom of Coronet."

As if he was thinking of something painful, Kuknos's expression became a little depressed.

Then, as it slowly came, Ye understood a story and gradually restored its reasons and original appearance that were different from and related to the myth.

This was a disaster that occurred shortly after the Trojan War began.

That was when Ye had just come into this world. Due to his intervention, Hector began to consciously and actively evacuate civilians and troops from the surrounding allied cities to Troy.

Although this move successfully saved most of its manpower, it also provoked Greece to start a massacre of surrounding countries.

The neighboring country of Coronae thus came into the eyes of the Greeks.

The Greeks, who were bloodthirsty, were only concerned with exchanging human heads for military merit and massacring cities to seize more wealth.

Even when they knew that the king of Coronet was the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea, they still invaded here regardless.

Son of Poseidon?!

Alexandre Dumas, the god of the sea who was no weaker than Zeus, had many sons among the people.

Can any son from any remote corner be called the heir of Aquaman?

It's not the child of Poseidon and his queen.

They have invaded the country of the descendants of Hercules, so why would they be afraid of the son of Poseidon who has no idea how many brothers he has and whose status and position have rapidly depreciated?

Just when the Greeks invaded Coronet, Cycnos seemed to be attracted by something and suddenly had the idea of ​​hunting. He led a troop into the forest early and found a bright red bird among them.

In order to hunt this beautiful and rare bird that he had never seen before, Kuknos accidentally became addicted to hunting. He chased it all day until it was too late after dark, so he had to make a fire on the spot and camp with his troops.

The red bird failed to be hunted, and when Kuknos returned to his country, he saw a desolate and ruined country.

The people died tragically, all the soldiers were killed in battle, the women were swaddled, and even many babies were not spared by the cruel Greeks.

The rage that rose to the sky at that moment made Cycnos lead the remaining troops to charge at the Greeks who were still here and were cleaning up the battlefield.

After killing all these Greeks, he still couldn't change the fact that his country had been destroyed.

After all, Corona was just a small country, and most of its people died after the destruction.

Even at the end, in the palace of the capital, Metra, he collapsed when he saw the body of his youngest son.

Originally, in the myth, although Cycnos' son would also die, it was only after he was killed by Achilles that the Greeks, in revenge, went to Coronet, destroyed his kingdom, and captured his son as a slave.

But now Coronet had witnessed his son's death.

Hatred, a gradually twisted heart, and the guilt for not staying in his country to defend his homeland when his people and son needed his protection the most, all tortured this powerful hero.

He thought that if he had been there, the outcome might have been different.

Cycnos has always been very confident in his own strength. Even though the Greeks have Achilles who is as invulnerable and immortal as himself, he is not afraid at all.

But even if he had all the power, he couldn't change the outcome. The dead couldn't be resurrected. This was the rule set by Hades, the king of the underworld.

Hades, the god of the underworld, is the eldest brother of the three generations of Greek gods and is very powerful.

It is extremely unrealistic to want to take back the souls of the dead from its hands.

Just when despair was torturing him to the point of exhaustion.

The red-haired goddess——is here!

The black wings that flew across the sky discovered Coronet's miserable condition, and the goddess lamented and mourned for him after listening to his tragic and dramatic life.

Eris asked at the time: "So, you want your people and your son to live?"

Kukonos vibration——

What's the meaning?

Why are you asking this suddenly? Can the other person help you?

Although he is the son of Poseidon, Cycnos, who is more like a mortal demigod, knows that he has no way to resurrect the dead.

But that doesn’t mean God can’t do it.

Being able to do things that humans cannot do and to achieve all kinds of miracles is itself synonymous with miracles.

Hope was born in Kukonos' heart because of this sentence.

When he asked the goddess what this meant, he once again expressed his longing and love for his people and his deceased son.

The goddess smiled and said, "Of course - it is just as you think. It means literally. Gentle king! I like you very much. I like a gentle and responsible warrior like you."

"How cute... I'm telling the truth! (No, this is a lie) I'm happy to see you respond to your desires so straightforwardly."

“In the name of the goddess Eris, I can help you, Your Majesty… But it’s not free. You have to know that free things are often the most expensive. So—”

The goddess who called herself Eris gracefully swung her hips and slowly walked to the kneeling hero. She approached him and asked, "You will reward me, right, King?"

Kukonos fell that day!

He fell in love with this goddess, this angel with black wings.

Even though he knew that this woman had a bad reputation, and was even the embodiment of disaster that was feared, hated, and avoided by countless mortals, and that she was always a liar full of lies.

Chapter 166: You want me to give the order - are you sure? You will die at the hands of a hero

The goddess resurrected his warriors, his people, his sons.

This resurrection is not without cost though.

According to Eris, stealing so many souls from Hades at once would be impossible even for her without using some tricks.

The resurrected people will have to hide their bodies in armor all day long, cannot see the sunlight, and cannot communicate.

But, can this be considered a resurrection?

At first, the soldiers and His Majesty the King hesitated and wavered.

But when they thought about the possibility that their family members might survive, the weakness in their hearts broke their hearts first.

Afterwards, Eris asked these resurrected warriors to help Coronet restore its country, and even asked Cycnos to lead these powerful immortal warriors to pursue the Greek soldiers who had gone to the neighboring country of Kira to continue wreaking havoc.

After completing the revival of the kingdom and annihilating the enemy, a sense of relief and emptiness came together.

So what to do next?

Oh, and he hasn’t repaid the goddess yet.

So, in the end, Cycnos kept his oath and swore allegiance to Eris.

The surviving soldiers also swore allegiance, and they found the meaning of survival.

This army of living people also became the only living army under Cycnos. When they went to welcome Ye before, because they were all living people, even Athena could not see anything wrong with them.

Ye was somewhat silent after hearing this——

I never expected that this matter was related to me.

Although Corona would eventually perish, because of me, it happened earlier, and it even sounded worse than before.

I feel a little guilty.

There is no such thing as resurrection, it's just the corpse moving.

Eris had no ability to snatch people from Hades. Even Lyra, the son of Apollo, could only stay in the underworld forever to play the piano and accompany his lover.

Although Ye didn't know what Eris had done, it was definitely not a resurrection.

And Kukonos’s experience itself does not stand up to scrutiny.

Let’s take into account Eris’s tendency to stir up trouble and stir up discord.

Kukonos's tragic life may be a masterpiece created by him.

As for what the goddess said, that she would fall in love with a king because of his gentleness?
