Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

The power that had been suppressed for many years almost burst out, and he wanted to seek revenge on the God King!

Not only was it because of the hatred that had devoured him, his mother, and his brother, but also because his beloved ones had been brutally persecuted by him, one thing after another -!

She never forgot!

Accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity.

Waiting for the day when Zeus, the king of gods, will be overthrown, even though we don't know if there will be a chance.

She had waited for so long that she even thought she was the wise daughter loyal to her father Zeus, the wise Athena among the twelve gods.

The Goddess of Wisdom is not wise at all, otherwise why would she lose her hero?

In this vast space and time, there will be a timeline where Athena may succeed.

But she couldn't wait for a world line with heroes.

In another world unknown to her, the world of God of War, she succeeded.

With the power of Kratos, he had the last laugh in the end. After all the Greek gods were slaughtered, he became the new ruler of the Greek world and reshaped the world.

But the Athena in this world does not have a sword as useful as Kratos's. Even though she now hates Zeus very much, there is a voice in her mind that keeps telling her to hold on!

She is no match for the other party now.

However, the most ideal vision at the beginning was to grow up hand in hand with the beloved hero, until the day when the brutal theocracy of Olympus would be overthrown...

Will it never come like this?

At this moment, putting aside the matter of revenge, the only other thing she wanted to do was, of course, the same thing as Artemis.

Go to the underworld - to find someone! !

...At the same time, on the earth.

The god Hermes withdrew his gaze from the distant sky in a daze and shock, and then descended from the sky.

He tried hard to suppress his excitement, but... he couldn't.

What the hell!

No one would be able to bear it after witnessing such a legendary epic.

Wonderful--!!

It was truly an amazing performance!

On the best stage to match it, the best hero appeared.

He came to Ye's body, which had already begun to become cold and stiff, and was about to be torn into pieces.

After no longer feeling the aura of the hero, Hermes still took off his hat and saluted him respectfully.

As a god, he bowed to the body of a mere mortal, simply because he could not suppress his admiration for that overly beautiful belief.

Then――

Hermes took a deep breath, turned around suddenly, and then suddenly opened his arms as if embracing the sky, opened his eyes wide, and shouted passionately -!

"Celebrate! Shout! The great hero Griffith sacrificed his life with an arrow that brought peace to you mortals!"

"I certify it in the name of the god Hermes - this arrow has never been matched! It has crossed the Aegean Sea to the end of the Greek world - to a place far beyond where even the gods cannot explore! That arrow has already flown beyond the edge of the world...!"

"This is a miracle that will never happen again in the past or in the future. It is the pinnacle of archery!!"

That's right--!

The edge of the Greek world!

In that land of the future Rome that even the Greek gods have never touched, isn't that the edge of the world? !

These words seemed exaggerated, but they were enough to stir the passion in the hearts of all the men present, causing them to open their eyes wide in shock.

――! Did a miracle really happen?

Volume 2: Greek Universe - Trojan War: Chapter 227 Night: Where is my settlement page? Why is it the river Styx?

The Romans recorded a story about the Trojan War.

At the end of the story, there are words from the god Hermes to the hero.

He exclaimed - this was the most beautiful arrow ever shot in the world, the most dazzling moment ever seen in the world, and the most beautiful and powerful hero.

He saw this as a sign of a new chapter in Greek heroic history.

Hermes praised him: "The one who deserves to be called a hero is not the one who wields a sword, nor the one who heals wounds and relieves pain, but the one who gambles his life. In order to protect your companions, save the country, and bring peace to the two countries, gamble yourself. Carry out your wish and shoot with all your strength without leaving any regrets. This is the most handsome man!"

However, what the wise man Hermes probably could not have imagined was.

He thought that after Griffith, there would be an era of heroes emerging in large numbers, an era where countless passionate heroes would emerge and new heroes would be born because of the great deeds and stories of the great hero Griffith.

However, his prediction failed.

He would never have thought that it was the last glory of Greece. From now on, after this man, there will be no more men who are worthy of being called heroes.

Until the fall of Greece and the founding of Rome.

Greece, the cradle of heroes, has completely become a thing of the past, replaced by the glorious Rome.

Therefore, the Romans, although they claimed to be descendants of heroes such as Griffith and Aeneas, disdained to admit that they were Greeks.

What Greeks?

We are the heirs of the hero Griffith, and our ancestors are the hero who opened up the future of Rome and the Trojan royal family Aeneas. What does it have to do with the evil Greeks?

It's like we believe in the twelve Roman gods, what does it have to do with your twelve Greek gods?

Although I stole your myths and your heroic stories, I do not acknowledge that I am your son.

Rome is Rome, that's right!! Serious (strong reasoning) 0

But - back to the reality of this moment.

In the future, Hermes, who had written a quote for Griffith and witnessed and commented on this period of history, was now being beaten and hunted down.

Although playing with the dead body was praising Griffith, it completely ignored the fact that Griffith was no longer breathing, and he ran to the corpse and cheered with excitement.

Artemis: It's an eyesore - it's such an eyesore, kill him!

Even the usually prudent goddess of wisdom Athena said cautiously that Hermes was indeed a little bit jumpy and it would be too much to kill him. It would be better to cut off his legs so that as a god he could learn to be prudent.

One wanted to kill him, the other wanted to make him permanently disabled.

Faced with the murderous intentions of the two powerful goddesses, Hermes could no longer hold back.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly ran away, but was surrounded by several gods. People didn't know who they were - but later a mortal said that he seemed to see Lord Hermes falling hurriedly from the sky with a pig-like face, and then hid in a pigsty, as if he was avoiding someone.

Although Hermes came out to clarify soon after, saying that this was all slander and even wanted to punish the mortal who dared to blaspheme the gods, he was stopped by the goddess of justice Astraea.

so--

What is the truth? I can only say that those who understand will understand.

at the same time--

On the other hand, Ye had no idea that some goddesses not only fought with Hermes, a fellow countryman of the Twelve Gods, for him, but even had the dangerous idea of ​​going to the underworld to demand someone.

He felt that this time he was caught in a very long, peaceful and beautiful dream.

After waking up as expected, I did not return to the transfer station.

Although we don’t know what the final outcome will be for him who is already dead, it shouldn’t be too bad, and he should be able to accumulate a lot of merit.

But what about my checkout page?

Even my consciousness is gradually starting to wake up, but I can feel that my soul is still asleep. What is going on now?

Finally - after who knows how long, his soul was awakened.

Then I saw a dark and gloomy world.

It was like having accidentally entered the realm of the dead, the underworld, where the dead rest.

No, it can't be said that he got in by mistake. He seems to be dead now.

The world before my eyes is somewhat similar to the underworld controlled by Elle in the Mesopotamian plains next door in the Type-Moon.

When he saw a long river shrouded in fog that stretched across this dark world not far away, Ye suddenly realized something.

The Dead River - or the Styx!

Is this the underworld?

Although after the death of the Greeks, their souls would go to the underworld and be led by the underworld ferryman Charon to cross the River Styx... before they could reach the real kingdom of the dead.

But Ye usually doesn't follow this routine process. He should have returned by now and started simulating the cosmic settlement.

The physiological death of human beings means the end of simulation, which is Ye’s understanding.

But now it seems that if there is interference from external forces, perhaps the death of the body is just a new beginning, and his journey will continue.

This reminded Ye of a man.

Kratos the Bald, the strongest bald man in Greece who killed all the gods on Mount Olympus.

The strongest mad dog in Greece who entered the underworld three times and killed his way through the underworld - and finally killed even the King of Hell.

Hades wanted to restrain his soul, so he pulled Hades' soul out of his body and returned all the means that God had inflicted on him in the most brutal way.

If nothing unexpected happened, then something must have happened.

Now that I appear in the underworld, it is obviously the work of some gods. Mortals do not have the ability to bring their souls here.

However, there seems to be an interesting setting in Greece. Although the bodies of the dead are in the underworld, once the soul leaves the underworld, it will regain flesh and blood and become a living person.

This is reflected in both the story of Lyra and the myth of Kratos.

Killing your way through the underworld and returning to earth is not a dream...

But Kratos is an independent game universe, and whether the real Greece is like this remains to be verified.

Lyra's wife was also unable to leave the underworld and was sucked back in.

Thinking of this, when he saw the River Styx in front of him that night, he remembered the body of Achilles. It was after being soaked in the water of the River Styx that he became invulnerable to swords and guns.

While this is undoubtedly a gift of blessing for the living, it is extremely poisonous to the dead. If a soul falls into the river, it will be pulled into the river by the endless dead souls in the river, maliciously and unconsciously, and assimilated or devoured.

Here, no dead can resist this river. Those who want to cross it can only wait for the ferryman to come, even heroes are no exception.

But Ye is very different from ordinary heroes.

Perhaps it is because he has been growing and tempering in the conceptual universe, that as he becomes stronger, his soul power and spirit have also increased tremendously.

Especially after completing the feat of the last arrow, with the feedback of the merits in the long river of mythology, even if it has not been fully settled, the settlement is just a process. In fact, the feedback has begun at the moment when it has made a significant impact.

so--

Volume 2 Greek Universe - Trojan War: Chapter 228 Charon: !!! I got up early and saw the dead souls bathing in the Styx!

As a hero's intuition, Ye had no feeling at all about the Styx, which terrified countless heroic souls.

He even felt an unprecedented sense of security, as if he had returned home.

For the dead, the breath of the underworld and the ether should not be too suitable.

Being free from the body is actually the true way to free oneself from the shackles on one's body, allowing the soul that has long surpassed the body to be released, which gives one an incomparable sense of exhilaration.

You have to know that what has troubled Ye's growth has never been his martial arts and spiritual will, but his body.

The physical body in reality cannot catch up with the physical body in the simulated world. Although the physical body in the simulated world is simulated by concepts, it is equally difficult to carry the soul of the night that is gradually shining like the sun and is washed and surrounded by endless achievements.

Especially after awakening the power of the God of Destruction, the quality of his soul has already touched the threshold between gods and mortals.

Now it is more appropriate to call him a demigod.

More like a real demigod than false demigods like Achilles.

His soul is so massive that, even without a physical form, it is more resistant to the Styx than the living.

Perhaps he could also learn from Kratos in the Greek world next door and try what it feels like to bathe in the River Styx while in the state of a dead soul.

Ye subconsciously took a step forward, and when his feet touched the river.

Charon, the ferryman of the underworld, is rowing his boat, obeying the orders of Lord Pluto, to ferry the heroes from the mortal world.

Well, let me clarify here, it’s Charon, not Chiron, the Centaur sage.

Then the ferryman saw the most incredible scene in his life.
