Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

As a hero of the dead soul, he calmly put his feet into the River Styx, which is like a dead river for the soul.

! ! ! !

Charon's empty pupils widened.

Wait, can’t this guy sense the danger of the River Styx?

Just like humans are naturally afraid of fire, they naturally avoid things that make them feel dangerous and won't get too close...

With the five senses of a hero, it is impossible for him not to sense the danger, but what is this guy doing? Seeking his own death?

If you die, how can I explain to Lord Pluto?

Then, Charon saw an even more incredible scene.

After trying to put his feet into the River Styx, Ye not only did not feel any discomfort, but the countless dead souls inside the River Styx fled in all directions like mice seeing a cat.

Even though they have become unconscious vengeful spirits and regrets, their instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune is still there.

They instinctively felt a great fear and fled away, as if they would be swallowed by some great terror if they stayed in this area of ​​water for one more second.

For wandering souls and resentful spirits, big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps. It can be said that the hundreds of millions of dead souls of the Greek world in this River Styx follow the most basic law of survival, that is, the strong souls will devour the weak souls, and the weak can devour the weaker ones.

At this time, the soul is as huge as the sun. In contrast, those consciousnesses that are smaller than humans dare not approach the sun.

Just being in the same body of water caused panic-like symptoms to appear in their consciousness, even though they were originally unable to feel fear.

grass--!!

As the boatman of the underworld, Charon, who has been ferrying people across the Styx all his life, is naturally very familiar with this river.

The moment the River Styx rioted, Charon naturally sensed it instantly.

Those dead souls are actually——“afraid”? ! !

For thousands of years in Greece, countless souls have been squeezed under the Styx. If that terrifying amount is released, it will be enough to engulf the human world and destroy the entire Greek world! Well, this destruction is based on the gods not interfering.

But that's already amazing.

But now this army of undead that is powerful enough to destroy the world is actually afraid of a newborn soul?

No matter how brave and powerful you were when you were alive, you are dead now, and everything starts from scratch in the world of the dead.

Charon said that he could no longer understand this world and his brain was kind of freezing.

In Greece, there was no concept of reincarnation; the dead souls would remain in the underworld forever.

Even the souls of previous God-Kings and Titans are imprisoned deep underground here.

After so many years, the number of these dead souls has continued to increase, but the human population is still growing. There is no telling how many dead souls exist under the Styx.

Let's get back to the point - such a large number of souls, but they have no intention of resisting the coming of night.

At this moment, Ye actually felt that the Styx had also played a role in refining his soul.

Just like when the body is washed, it will acquire the invulnerability attribute, at this time, after being washed by the Styx, his soul part also began to acquire the invulnerability attribute? !④

Logically speaking, the Styx is harmful to the dead souls and has no benefits.⑧

But what's going on with him?

Until Ye felt that the immortal body in his body, the part derived from the steel protection of Achilles, was trembling slightly, symbolizing that the concept of immortal body was responding to him.

Is it because of this concept?

Treat my soul as a body and start giving it form directly, is it stronger? 8

Hiss~! Ye took a deep breath.

I have only heard of people with extremely hard bodies, like bodies made of steel, with amazing defenses that can even be blocked by holy swords.

But have you ever heard of any hero whose soul is as hard as a rotten stone?

How many heroes were physically strong but fell to their knees in an instant due to their weak spirits and souls, suffering from curses, mental attacks, or soul attacks.

Even Ye felt disgusted, uncomfortable and difficult to deal with this type of enemy.

But what if the enemy continues to use despicable and dirty means, but cannot touch or hurt Ye's soul in the slightest?

This immortal steel body of the soul is even more precious than the physical body.

After all, there is still a chance of resurrection after the body dies, but once the soul dies, there is no means of resurrection in most worlds.

Just now he had a vague intuition that bathing in the River Styx would not only do no harm but might also bring unexpected benefits.

With the mentality of experimentation, especially the simulated universe, it would be a waste not to give it a try. The worst that can happen is that you can just go back and settle the account.

Ye was so brave that he chose to step directly into the River Styx.

After realizing the benefits that the Styx could bring, he simply walked into the river quickly.

Then, with Charon on the boat in the distance feeling horrified, he plunged directly into the River Styx and began to take a 360-degree bath in the river.

Not even satisfied with this, Ye directly began to swim in the River Styx. While exercising his body, he used the mana in his body to consciously absorb and speed up the rate at which the River Styx fed back to him.

Not enough, not enough, not enough!!

Volume 2: Greek Universe - Trojan War: Chapter 229: He went into the abyss of Tartarus? Crazy!

Although I don't know why I came to the underworld, as long as I seize the opportunity, I must continue to become stronger. Only in this way can I have the strength to deal with all crises!

Even if Hades, the god of the underworld, is about to attack us the next moment, we must become stronger now if we can.

Becoming stronger won’t cause any loss, and becoming stronger won’t cause any fools!

Who can go against power? Modo, Modo, Modo --! ! More...! Pawa...!

Then, while Charon was stunned and even the soul fire in his eyes flickered, an unprecedented scene appeared before his eyes, which was enough to be recorded in the history of the underworld.

The soul of a heroic dead man actually began to swim in the River Styx.

By activating the soul, you can speed up the absorption of the quiet ether in the Styx.

Although they were all a collection of purified negative spirits, Ye's powerful spirit completely expelled these negative things from his body and only absorbed the essence of them to forge a new steel body.

[Soul Steel]――!

But it seemed that the hero was not satisfied yet. He started to enjoy the process of bathing in the River Styx and began to do fancy backstroke and even demonstrated various swimming skills.

In just a short while, the great hero Griffith had swam far away, even to a place where Charon could not see him.

The opponent's speed was very fast! It seemed that he was swimming leisurely, but in fact, he was as fast as an arrow shot from a bow.

Charon suddenly became anxious...

"Wait... wait, hero Griffith--!!!" he shouted, but he could only see a black dot that had swam away.

this--!

The other party doesn't play by the rules!

Logically speaking, even if the Greeks had never been to the underworld, humans had more or less heard about what the afterlife looked like.

It is impossible not to know that you need the help of a ferryman to cross the Styx and reach the other side.

But - what about Griffith?

This man...

Not only can he swim freely in the River Styx, but he also seems to be planning to swim to the other side of the river by his own strength?

Although the Styx is a river, it is actually vast and boundless. There is even a dark river that leads directly to Tartarus, the hell deep in the underworld. That is where the terrifying first-generation primordial god is located, and the entire abyss is transformed from his body.

That is a forbidden area that even the twelve main gods dare not easily set foot in. Even the defeated God-King of the second generation and the dead Titans are imprisoned there.

Although Charon didn't think Griffith would swim directly to such a terrible place.

But Pluto's order is for him to extradite the hero Griffith to meet him.

Lord Hades intends to give the hero's soul as a gift to the Queen of the Underworld.

If he let the other party just disappear like that, or was accidentally eaten and divided by the souls in the River Styx, how would he explain to Hades?

Although he is the son of Erebus, the god of darkness, one of the five creation gods, and Nyx, the great goddess of night and mysterious lady, and the ferryman of the Styx, he has a special status in Greece, and Pluto will not really do anything to him even if he makes a mistake.

But that's all...

After all, Greek gods rarely pay attention to family affection, especially for children with poor performance talents.

Especially since Charon had been ferrying people across the River Styx for so many years and had never made a mistake, how could he just watch his achievements slip away?

Charon finally reacted and immediately started rowing and chasing over there.

However, he found that he was so used to sliding forward slowly that even if he rowed desperately, he could not catch up with the other party at even one-tenth of his speed, and he was getting farther and farther away.

On the other side, Ye also heard Charon's voice, but he didn't care about it.

Ye saw the ferryman when he appeared.

With a vision sharper than an eagle's, he could clearly see a figure on the ship who looked like an old man, but with dark eye sockets and only the flickering fire of his soul, and was dressed in a robe.

This is exactly the same as the description in Greek mythology - Chiron, the old ferryman of the River Styx with eyes that can spit fire.

However, Ye did not intend to follow the regular procedures and confine himself to the underworld. Perhaps this was the work of Hades.

The main god is probably watching in the dark now.

Although he didn't know what the other party's purpose was, it didn't matter as long as he could accelerate his strength to the point where he could kill his way through the underworld alone.

If the power of his soul body had not been strong enough, Ye would have tried to turn around and walk towards the human world.

He has always been very curious.

Since the dead souls can be resurrected by leaving the underworld and returning to the ground, why doesn't anyone want to try to go back without crossing the Styx?

Are you afraid of the power of Hades?

But there is no shortage of stubborn heroes in Greece who are not afraid of the gods, and even suicidal monsters who like to go against the gods.

In conclusion, considering that the soul still sleeps for a period of time after regaining consciousness, Ye can only attribute it to the fact that the souls of ordinary people are too weak, and they will still be in a daze for a period of time after death. This time is enough for the ferryman to pull the dead soul to the other side.

Once they crossed the River Styx, no one would take them back, and it would be difficult for them to get back to the other side on their own.

But Ye took the initiative to stay in the underworld.

He popped his head out of the Styx, then calmly waved his hand behind him, and then shouted: "No need for you, boatman... I'll go ahead, it's faster this way! You row slowly!"

After saying that, Ye turned into an arrow and disappeared completely from Charon's sight.

Charon:? ?!

He, the great ferryman of the Styx, was called a boatman? Although he was indeed doing this kind of job, his status dropped sharply when the other party called him that.

Charon: Wait, he's not swimming in the right direction, this is...!

Fuck! As he watched the night go straight toward the dark river tributary in the abyss.

Although I don’t know if the hero sensed something.

But even among heroes, this was the first time Charon had seen such a desperate act. He hurriedly paddled the boat of friendship frantically, accelerating at three times the horsepower he had never used in his life.

So a race on the Styx with each other daring each other began.

And the night followed the most active yet quietest, extremely contradictory and terrifying breath of the underworld ether, and finally came to a river area where the fog became deeper and deeper, and finally the distance was completely dark.

Looking at the dark world that looks like a big mouth, swallowing everything.

Night: ...! The abyss!

At this moment, a mysterious will seemed to be calling out to the night, inviting the night to come in from the depths of the abyss.

Ye Xiang didn't even think about turning around and left.

If you let me in, I'll go in. Wouldn't that make me lose face?

Who in hell Tartarus could be interested in me?

There are only big guys in there, and none of them are easy to get along with.

Maybe he'll go in and explore in the future, but forget it now.

Directly entering the body of an ancient god, even though Tartarus was asleep most of the time, Ye still felt extremely dangerous.

Then he continued to head towards the other side of the Styx.

Even until he reached the shore, Charon still couldn't catch up. Even because of Ye's previous misleading, Charon didn't see Ye all the way to the entrance of the abyss, and he was immediately disappointed.

Griffith went in? ! ~!! I still couldn't catch up, what should I do?
