Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

Some images flashed through his mind.

There was the madness of wanting to survive desperately when he was weak; there was the son of Poseidon, the king, who was fooled by the goddess and had to be martyred until his death, letting his colorless body flow with the goddess's bright red blood;

Just because when everyone abandoned him, the goddess extended a helping hand to him and gave him hope of revenge.

There were many more - he had seen the ruthless side of death many times on the battlefield.

Many people were drawn into this huge war, and even heroes could not avoid becoming part of this huge tragic epic.

Even Odysseus in front of him——! He would have been trapped in this war for ten years, missing his wife and children madly but unable to get them.

Since becoming a father, I have never been able to see my son properly.

Although he didn't say it, he saw it all.

Ye doesn’t consider himself a good person, but he isn’t a bad person either. He will repay those who are good to him.

So when faced with King Agamemnon's kindness, he felt complicated. When Odysseus was unwilling to reveal his encounter with him before his death, he chose to spare his life.

This is all out of obedience to the choices made deep in my heart.

Even though he once stood on Troy's side, as an outsider, it was actually difficult for him to completely put himself on the Trojan side.

That's why he can't be absolutely rational and ruthless when looking at some things.

His few ties in Troy may be Hector, Chryseis and others.

However, even the time these people spent with Ye was not as long as the time Ye spent with those Greek heroes.

After realizing that he didn't want to save anyone other than Hector, such as Paris, he decisively gave up his original goal of continuing to lead Troy.

According to the original idea, the bottom line is to protect Hector and survive to the end successfully.

He had stood on Troy's side before because he wanted to use Troy's help to reach his epic level, but does he really need to rely on Troy's home court now?

Volume 2 Greek Universe - Trojan War: Chapter 208 O: After three betrayals, the world kissed him with pain, but still responded with songs?

And now considering how fashionable he is in Greece, maybe it would be easier for him to stand on the Greek side.

I no longer try to be trendy at night...

However - even if he no longer stood on the side of Troy, he would not help Greece again.

In fact, in Ye's opinion, the Trojan War was a war in which mankind was completely defeated.

No one was the final winner.

Even after winning the battle, King Agamemnon was poisoned to death by his wife because he had not returned home for many years and his wife had already fallen in love with another man.

Although Odysseus was eventually reunited with his family, he was forced to leave his family. Even when he saw his adult son again, his impression of his son was still as pathetic as when he was a child. He had forever lost the time he had as a father to accompany his son as he grew up.

The rest of the heroes were also like this, some died, some grew old. After a war, they lost their youth, and in the end, they didn’t have time to enjoy anything, and they wasted their precious time.

Especially those heroes who now have some relationship with Ye Danfan, it seems that none of them have a good ending in the end.

Only the gods who were high above, after watching such a big show, not only successfully achieved the goal of reducing the human population, but also sowed the seeds of the Romanization of Greek gods.

Thinking of this - without any reason, just wanting to do it, Ye blurted out again: "I want to - end this war!"

This time Ye's voice was more resolute.

When he first started simulating, he didn't want to have anything to do with the gods.

But after the first time, there was a second time, and after that, they just gave up.

Having grown so powerful, he is no longer afraid of coming into contact with the gods.

——He now has two attitudes towards the gods.

He is willing to return the same kindness to the gods who are kind to him, and for those gods who arrogantly want to conquer him and seize him, he will use even greater power to defeat the arrogance of these gods.

In some mythological epics, the Trojan War is described as an action by the gods to reduce the burden on the Greek land in order to reduce the growing population.

Even extending the mythological world to Rome in search of more vast lands can itself be understood as further expanding the land area that can accommodate the population.

Both are moving forward with a purpose.

Regardless of whether he will become a god in the future, at least he is still a human being now.

And a single thought can determine the life and death of human beings and cause the source of many tragedies - the gods.

No, it should be said that Ye has an instinctive and natural hostility towards those cold-blooded gods, whose desires are stronger than any human being, but who lack the same empathy as humans.

Although it is normal for a high and mighty god to not have empathy for weak humans.

But now he is a human being and still identifies with the human race as a collective.

At the same time, even though he is already a very powerful hero, he is probably no different from other heroes in the eyes of the gods.

Except for goddesses like Artemis and Athena who have gradually recognized him.

Even if other gods helped him, they probably wouldn't really respect him or take him seriously.

To the gods, heroes are nothing more than objects of entertainment and play.

They are like characters in a game. Under the guidance of the gods, their fate trajectories are modified at will, eventually forming stories with various endings called epics.

Because of the gods, many heroes were gathered together to create the largest heroic group drama in Greece.

They regard humans and heroes as cannon fodder and support each side to attack each other, constantly creating killings and tragedies in the process.

As the brightest chess piece on the chessboard, Ye now wants to jump out and disrupt this war so that the gods will have no chance to play.

No reason is needed - if you want a reason, there can be many, any one of the many tragedies listed can be a reason.

Since you can't stand it, why not just aim to end the war.

Anyway, this was not much different from his original goal, except that it changed from protecting Troy to ending the war directly at the source.

Odysseus: “……!”

Hearing what Ye said, it was obvious that he had made a wrong connection.

Odysseus never thought that Griffith was actually an undercover agent sent from Troy to Greece from the beginning. He subconsciously thought that the country that Ye wanted to protect was a certain country on Greek soil.

Did the thing he had tried so hard to protect betray him?

What kind of sadness is that, the pain that affects the heart.

But after such betrayal, he still came to this battlefield and chose to fight for Greece.

But Greece betrayed him again, and now even Troy rejected and drove him away.

The loneliness of double and triple betrayal.

This man――! Has he still not given up on ending the war?

He remembered what Griffith's purpose was when he first came to the Greek camp?

It was from Telephus, the son of Hercules, that he first learned that a hero could not bear to see the Greek land suffer from the war and hoped to end the war as soon as possible, so he took the initiative to come here to reinforce.

It was this preconception that made them realize the hero's gentleness early on, allowing them to quickly "understand" and "realize" the noble and touching behavior behind Griffith's various actions.

At this point, Odysseus obviously deepened this understanding (misunderstanding).

Even though he was kissed by the world with pain, he still wanted to end the war and do something that was not very strenuous.

This is completely different from the me who only wanted to go home and would have definitely gone away if I had the chance.

At this moment, Odysseus was thinking about something, and he felt a little ashamed and shocked.

But he subconsciously asked, as if to confirm something, "Why? Why do you want to get involved in a war that has nothing to do with you anymore?"

"I think a lot of people are crying. Everyone is sad because of what they lost in this war... Even you, Odysseus, haven't seen your son's face for a long time. Can you still remember what your child looks like now?" Ye asked Odysseus suddenly.

Just one sentence made Odysseus fall into complete silence and his body became extremely stiff.

Odysseus trembled all over—of course he remembered...

No, he was captured to fight in the war shortly after his son was born, and the children's faces were basically not fully grown. Except for some who were extremely ugly, there was almost nothing special about them that was easy to remember.

Odysseus was sad to find that he had actually forgotten what his son looked like. He clenched his fists, unable to accept this fact.

Seeing Odysseus like this, Ye thought of the relatively peaceful era and world he once lived in. At least he had spent his childhood carefree, and his heart suddenly felt a little heavy.

It seems to directly ask Odysseus the most difficult place to jump.

――This is indeed a bad topic.

Volume 2: Greek Universe - Trojan War: Chapter 209: God of War: Are you teaching me how to do things? I am the God of War!

Ye also fell silent for a long time before continuing, "I think that at least we should let the children enjoy a complete childhood. There must be many children who are looking forward to the return of their fathers. If this war can end sooner and allow countless fathers and husbands to return to their families, then it itself is a meaningful enough thing to accomplish."

Ye suddenly looked up at the distant sky, as if he was looking across the sky at the gods in the sky whose existence he didn't know.

The enemy may finally be the gods.

It was not difficult for him to end the war, but the difficult part was to prevent the gods from coming out to stop or interfere...

However, this is almost impossible, but that's what makes it challenging!

World-weary group

Recalling the exciting moment of fighting the God of War and the God of the Sea, well - ! !

One more reason to keep him doing this - to encounter a good fight!

Thinking of this, Ye's mouth corners subconsciously curled up.

"You... want to end this war for the children? What a great idea. I'm not as good as you - Griffith." At this moment, Odysseus suddenly felt relieved. The goddess Artemis, whom he once admired the most, and even the glorious Athena fell in love with such a man.

He could see that Griffith was hiding something, but these were the only words he said that were his true thoughts.

Just this point alone, in this era called "Greece", such simple and normal views are already very great.

At this moment, Odysseus seemed to have suddenly found his goal and was no longer confused. He suddenly knew what to do next.

“I think I know what I should do next.”

"Really? Then let's go our separate ways here." Ye replied casually. Suddenly - Ye sensed something, his body paused slightly and then looked in one direction.

On the other side, Odysseus: ...? !

This script is wrong. Shouldn't Griffith ask me if we have the same ideals at this time, and then naturally say that he was touched by the other party's ideals and wanted to help him and move forward together.

Even a jerk like him wanted to do good things occasionally, but Griffith just let him go?

"Sorry, I have something else to do - I have to leave first! You can act alone from now on." Ye suddenly grasped the Sun God Spear, and after confirming a familiar breath that appeared in his soul perception, Ye cursed in his heart and could not sit still.

What a mess!

I should have told Laodick to take good care of this guy when I left.

The incarnation of the goddess of beauty can't even keep an eye on an 'ordinary person'.

This is not a good time to escape from Troy.

And in the distance, I sensed some familiar heroic aura and a sense of foreboding.

Like a whim of Zeus.

For Ye now, there is also an intuition similar to future vision. When encountering unfavorable things, the powerful mental power will more or less give some warning and perception.

"Artemis--! Please." The call was accompanied by a hint of impatience.

"I understand." Artemis understood what kind of help Ye needed with just one look. She grew larger again and carried Ye up.

Odysseus: !!!

Ride on --!

Is this what he can see?

"Wait..." Before Odysseus could say anything, he watched Artemis and Night flying away into the distance.

That direction is...! Troy――!

What happened? Odysseus frowned.

No, he has to go back and take a look.

I am absolutely sure that if there is one person who can end this war, it will be Griffith.

At that moment, Odysseus made a decision.

Perhaps helping Griffith is helping himself and opening up a new future.
