Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

No one would want to become an enemy with such a strong man! ! No one!

"Odysseus and I once had a little brotherhood. Since I have decided not to stand on the side of Troy, I will not kill him again - if you ask why, why I should let him go. This is my answer!"

"Gry...Fiss--!!!" Priam's low, hoarse old voice was filled with great anger and a hint of fear.

At such a close distance, Priam, who had no sense of his life being safe at all, did not even dare to speak loudly to the madman in front of countless Trojan people.

Is that so?!

At this time, the heroes also thought they understood the truth and everything that happened.

That proud posture and demeanor, there's no mistaking it...

The reason he let Odysseus go was not because he betrayed Troy, but because from the beginning it was not he who needed Troy but Troy that needed him.

For a truly strong man, his dignity must never be humiliated in any way. Since you have questioned this strong man, he is also qualified to choose to leave.

explain?!

Why should I patiently explain it to you? If a king loses his pride, a powerful warrior loses his demeanor, and if they have to explain every question, then their power is just a pretense!

A strong person should have the pride of a strong person.

For Greece, which advocates heroism, this belief of dying with glory is best understood!

So they immediately found a sense of resonance in these words that made their blood boil and their skin tingle, and stimulated their whole body.

Volume 2: Greek Universe - Trojan War: Chapter 203: It is not only heroes who can become kings, but the kingdom needs heroes

From this perspective, it was still Priam's fault.

When you are strong, people will subconsciously believe in and follow your ideas, even if this idea is actually unfair to the weak.

Just like King Priam who had his son dead but had to keep bowing his head: ???

If he knew what the heroes were thinking at this moment, he would definitely feel extremely wronged and furious, "It's not my fault?!"

'How come it's my fault?'

Obviously, he, the old father, is the biggest victim.

But in fact, even Priam seemed to feel that he had done something wrong at this time.

This is the idea that the strong are stronger than the weak, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the Greeks.

Strength is the truth!

As a weak person, provoking a strong person will cost you a price. Otherwise, where is the dignity of the strong person...!

The barbarity in the bones of the Greeks not only made them not think that this overly simplistic and crude theory of the strong was wrong, but the more warriors fought in blood and fire, the more they regarded it as the truth.

This is also the reason why they were humble when they were weak, but when they become strong, they can immediately enjoy all the unfair treatments from others and all the hero bonuses that they once hated. They agree with this concept from the bottom of their hearts.

Stimulated by Ye's words, they benefited a lot, and now they looked at Priam, the weakling, with a frown on their faces.

Why are so many kings in Greece heroes? Even if they are not powerful enough, they still call themselves heroes?

The answer is actually written in the mythological epic.

Even a king needs to be strong to win the hearts of the people. Some weak countries will even recruit heroes to inherit their throne.

It is not that only heroes can become kings, but only kings who are as powerful as heroes in the eyes of others can be loved and trusted by others, and their rule can be stable.

Therefore, even if the kings have no power, they will call themselves heroes and spread the name of their own strength.

The Greeks have a fundamental admiration for the strong, and the admiration for the strong in the neighboring countries that are doing well is nothing more than the son inheriting the father's business.

In this kind of society, Griffith, a hero who even a god had defeated, would be the biggest beneficiary due to his fame.

Everything he does is beautified by others as much as possible, and the opposite will become ugly and labeled.

On the contrary, how could Priam, a man who was neither as strong as King Agamemnon nor had powerful strength, be qualified to be the leader and king of so many Trojan heroes?

Seeing that Priam was hesitant to answer, even the citizens below began to feel disappointed with their king.

If their king, although weak, had the courage to give a strong response, even so, even if Priam was still weak, people would be more convinced of such a king.

Who doesn't want their king to be someone who is not afraid of power, is confident and has resolute beliefs, and has a strong mentality?

However--

Priam was just a mortal. If he hadn't had his powerful eldest son Hector, and even his powerful demigod nephew Aeneas to protect him.

These heroes would never obey his orders and would have taken over the leadership long ago.

He was just an ordinary man, how could he compare with this most shining era of Greek heroes where monsters emerged in large numbers and many heroes gathered!

As for Ye's question——the reason why he couldn't give an answer immediately.

Friend? How could he be friends with this man! ! Griffith killed his own son. Even if he was not his favorite son, he was still his offspring and he never gave him face.

But an enemy?! He didn't even dare to respond that it was an enemy! To provoke a person who could easily kill him at any time and regard him as an enemy--!

As a mortal, Priam wanted to live two more years.

"Can't answer that?" Ye smiled.

Paris: "!! Griffith, don't go too far."

Seeing his father being forced into such an embarrassing situation, Paris could no longer sit still.

A smile appeared on Ye's face - he spread his hands and opened his arms, making a gesture of embracing the world as if welcoming it.

"Then, the same question, Paris! Are you my enemy—or my... friend?"

When facing the enthusiastic hero, that smile seems enthusiastic but is actually very cold.

Paris swallowed: Gulp!

"I...I am..."

His hatred for Night was deeper and greater than Priam's. This man had taken away Helen, the woman he loved so much. As a man, he was of course Griffith's enemy.

But he was also afraid to admit his hostility towards Griffith.

"How ridiculous! Two people who neither want to be my friends nor dare to be my enemies. Then they are strangers!"

How did things come to this?

The situation was becoming serious again.

Even the countless Trojans below didn't know whether to be angry or laugh when watching this scene. It was really that Priam and his son's performance was really disappointing and too cowardly.

Although understandable, it still makes people want to laugh.

However, Helen, Chryseis and others were a little anxious.

Especially Sister Chryseis, I don’t know how it became like this.

If this continues, even if there is no fighting, Griffith will not be able to stay in Troy, right?

That is definitely not the scene they want to see.

Chryseis immediately said, "My dear uncle! There must be some misunderstanding."

Bryses: "Yes, my sister is right, Your Majesty. There must be some misunderstanding between you. Troy and the hero Griffith are friends forever, aren't they?"

At this time, even Hector finally reacted -

Although he was shocked by the series of events that had just happened, he also did not want to see Griffith and Troy fall out, so he immediately began to plead with the old king in order to ease the situation.

But no one tried to persuade Ye, as if they had forgotten that this option existed.

It is obvious that the weak have no say.

Faced with Ye's strength, these people's first thought was to ask the king to be patient and pretend nothing happened.

Priam:……!!

However, the problem now is not that I don’t want to give in, but that the other party has no intention of staying.

That's right, Ye doesn't plan to stay in Troy now.

In other words, with his power, even if he does not stand on either side, he can still do whatever he wants.

He possesses enough power to change the world even without the appearance of gods.

"Lady Artemis, we should go..." Ye suddenly called softly.

Then, in the shock of countless people who realized it belatedly --!!!

Wait, Artemis?!

Just now, after seeing Ye's expression, Artemis was very angry at the Trojans who had "wronged" Ye.

Well - she doesn't care whether it's been wronged or not - anyway, she is very angry now!

Even later he realized that Griffith, as a hero, had been humiliated invisibly.

Why do you need to prove your innocence?

She was a follower introduced by Artemis, and one could even say she was the hero endorsed by Athena, that xx. How dare you doubt her character?

Questioning Griffith is to question her (and Athena), so Artemis decided not to hide her identity anymore, and just now sent a message to Ye telling him not to hide it anymore.

Volume 2 Greek Universe - Trojan War: Chapter 204 Don’t offend anyone else, don’t offend the sun (crossed out), the god of light!

"Artemis... Master?!!" The heroes were all shocked.

Many Trojans who were followers of the moon goddess Artemis had already taken the lead in kneeling on the ground, followed by others who knelt down to worship the gods.

When I saw the little deer jumping towards the night on the platform.

The heroes were stunned.

This - this deer is actually Artemis? !

Damn it...

They had always thought it was Griffith's pet, luckily... they didn't say anything bad about the deer!

Before, they all thought the deer was cute, and fortunately they didn’t have any bad thoughts about it.

For example, if you want to eat braised deer head or something like that.

If such disrespectful thoughts were sensed by the god Artemis, they would be doomed.

Artemis!!

The goddess had actually been following Griffith all along. After learning this fact, those who had previously questioned or suspected Griffith panicked.

At this time, the divine deer also spoke in a female voice full of divinity, and a faint divine glow emanated from its body. The moonlight turned into a gauze dress and draped over its body. It did not hesitate to use its little remaining divine power to put it on and show off to Ye La.

Artemis the Deer said, "Priam! I am very disappointed in you! I once gave you an oracle to welcome my followers, who would have helped you lead Troy to victory, but you...sent away this victory with your own hands!"

The moment Artemis opened her mouth, the divinity that could no longer be suppressed made people completely certain of her identity.

The words of the goddess naturally carry more weight than anyone else's.

Yes! Only then did people suddenly remember that the reason they took the initiative to come out to greet Griffith was because of the oracle of the hunting goddess.

They actually doubted a warrior who was sent by oracle to help them.

Isn't this just doubting the gods?

For a moment, the heroes broke out in cold sweat.

Even if the gods want to plot against you, you must never doubt or question them on the surface.

This is the reverence and humility that human beings should have toward God.

After all, not all heroes have the courage and strength to face God and disrespect Him.

They now suspect that Ye is also questioning the Moon Goddess’ intentions!

This is a blasphemy against God's will.

"I sent Griffith to help you out of kindness, but you treated my warriors so badly. Now I punish you in the name of the goddess of hunting and the goddess of the moon. Priam, you will definitely lose this Trojan War, and my brother Apollo will no longer protect you!"

Although it was just a little deer, it exuded infinite divinity at this moment. Its incomparably shining, sacred posture and ethereal and cold voice immediately conquered everyone.

'She is the real god.' Everyone realized this fact.

And when they heard Artemis's judgment on Troy, which was no less than a curse, everyone present changed their expressions.

The people of Troy became even more terrified.

Having lost the Moon Goddess and the protection of the God of Light, what can they use to continue to resist the coming invasion of the God of War and the Greeks? !
