Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

It was none other than the Three Giants of the Underworld, Inquisitor Radamanthys.

...Niu Niu hit the face directly, and the face of the statue cracked. A crazy murderous intent that could not be dissipated surged out of the bright red eyes like gems.

"Griffith!!!" Radamanthys felt humiliated.

His face - split, literally split!

The next moment, bang! ! A handsome, cold human figure walked out from the shattered statue.

The handsome man with ancient Greek style looked at Niu Niu who smashed his heroic statue of God, and said with disgust in his eyes: "What a useless thing, I am so unhappy! This is not the kind of judgment I expect. Do I have to take the place myself?"

"It was a mistake. I am generous of you as a judge for letting you come all the way here! Hero - no, sinner Griffith! I wanted you to die without any pain, but you chose to use that filthy bastard bull to destroy my statue. Do you know what kind of crime blasphemy is?"

At this time, the muscles and meridians that had been cramped due to the previous wrestling had recovered in this short time: "Bastard?"

The smile on his face gradually turned colder.

During the wrestling just now, he discovered something.

Only in battle can a man grow quickly and understand his opponent. In the most primitive fighting, it happens to be the time when the heart is most relaxed, and it is easiest to see through a person's true nature.

And in the battle just now, he discovered that the Minotaur King, apart from the most primitive instinct of killing, still had another obsession. Since he had this obsession, he still retained his humanity.

Even if this human nature is hidden extremely deeply.

To try whether what I think is correct.

Ye suddenly read out a name: "Asterios--!"

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of gravel rolling down, but no one paid any attention to it.

Until -- Night continued to read: "How long will you continue to lie there and sleep? Hero named 'Lightning'. Asterios! Stand up, now is the time to fight back against those who try to control you and turn you into a monster. Don't forget to take down the gentle heart of the person who has the best wishes for you."

Mother - such an ancient word seemed to appear before my eyes.

The minotaur monster in the chaos fell into despair. The monster, which was supposed to be bloodless and tearless, seemed to have regained a long-lost clarity.

[Asterios] -

It's been a long time since I heard such a name.

That was the name of the Minotaur when he was still a human.

However, as a natural born monster, he has not been treated fairly by humans since he was born.

It was so long ago that it seemed as if the name had never existed, as if it was just his imagination. There had never been a hero named Lei Guang, but only a man-eating monster in people's mouths - the Minotaur.

According to the myth, the cannibalism was actually caused by King Minos of Chrysos who wanted to avenge the Athenian king who killed his own son Androgeus. He deliberately found an excuse to force the Athenians to offer living sacrifices to feed the Minotaur every year.

Man-eating monsters are more likely to be fabricated images.

But its inhuman appearance made it impossible to refute it.

After being treated as a monster for so many years, this was the first time I heard a familiar name after a long time. It also reminded me of the gentle memories of the person who gave me the name of a human hero.

Boom~! !

The gravel flew violently.

Came from behind Radamanthys.

A huge figure with a terrifying aura suddenly emerged from the ruins.

Although Radamanthys did not turn around, he felt something creepy behind him.

"What?!" He paused for a moment, then didn't wait for his response.

Bang~!! A huge hand that blew up the air and made a wailing sound suddenly attacked. Radamanthys let out a scream and was blown away.

Boom~!! Until it hit some building in an unknown distance.

As the three real giants of the underworld, Radamanthys, the god of the underworld who holds real power, was successfully backstabbed because he failed to check.

"Minotaur - !! What did you do?!" Another priest - Minos, who was also the brother of Radamanthys, shouted in shock and anger.

Except for Ye who had expected it, everyone present was stunned by the sudden change.

That beast - actually attacked his own people?

At this time, Niu Niu was breathing heavily, his pupils staring at Ye. Anyone who was looked directly at by those scarlet eyes would feel horrified and nervous.

Even Pluto thought that this monster might be in a frenzy because of being taught a lesson by Griffith, and might even want to eat Griffith.

Because it is so violent that it does not recognize its master, it is normal for backlash to occur.

Isn't this better?

very good--!

Defeat this hero with one blow, Minotaur! Unleash your brutal nature!

Hades, the 'Lord of the Underworld', couldn't help but smile slightly, but his smile soon froze on his face.

Griffith was not afraid at all. He walked towards Niu Niu calmly and naturally, step by step - in the end he actually got close to the opponent. Before he was attacked, Ye brushed the dust off his calves.

Well - with his normal height, if I don't photograph his calves, I'm afraid I can only photograph his toes.

In fact, he wanted to pat me on the shoulder.

Just like an elder brother taking care of his younger brother who was playing in the mud, Ye's kind action actually made the body as big as a mountain tremble slightly, as if he was not used to this feeling.

The body of the Monster King became extremely stiff, and the violent aura on his body began to dissipate.

The remaining judges, Hades, and the Queen of the Underworld were suddenly stunned by the scene before them.

Faced with this scene that was beyond their expectations.

This, this, this...what is going on?

Volume 2 Greek Universe - Trojan War: Chapter 238 He wants to be a family hero, like Baal Moloch! Friend!

"What have you done to the Minotaur? Sinner Griffith!" King Minos, who lived in the same era as the Minotaur and hated this monster born from the union of his wife and the sacred bull and regarded it as a shame in his life, could not understand the scene before him!

That’s right, it’s the side of Minos as King, not the side of Minos as one of the three giants of the underworld.

At this time, Minos undoubtedly had ulterior motives and selfish intentions in dealing with the issue of Niu Niu.

"You even called his name wrong, the King of Crete." Ye smiled.

"Asterios - this name means a hero of lightning. It is equivalent to Baal-Moloch -"

The name Baal comes from the Phoenician belief and is the name of a god with a bull's head and a human body.

It also appeared in the story of Solomon, arriving as a demon.

But there is no doubt that he is a symbol of lightning.

Although it looks like a monster, it is also light――!

"???! What are you talking about? What hero of lightning, what Baal - things I've never heard of at all." Minos' face became extremely ferocious at this time.

Asterios? Is this the last thought of his wife who was bewitched and cursed by Poseidon, fell in love with the bull, and gave birth to a monster?

How boring and absurd!

What a name to give the monster.

This made Minos, as a king, feel even more ashamed and angry!

"Baal-Moroch is the patron saint of the city. In a certain area, people once believed that as long as they worshipped Baal, a god with a bull's head and a human body, they would be protected by him and their families would be safe. He is not a useless thing, but a hero and partner who protects their families!"

Family Man! Bull-Headed Baal!

And when he heard that the meaning of his name "Lei Guang" was actually related to the god named Baal, and that the other party also had a bull's head and a human body, and was also the queen of the family.

"Protect" --? A monster like me can also protect others and be recognized by others?

What is it like to be trusted? Just imagining it, Niu Niu's whole body trembles. It is something that he could hardly hope for.

The Minotaur in the eyes of the Hebrews and Phoenicians was a monster in Greece, but to them it was a demon and a god that protected the city.

Perhaps this was also the case with the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete at the beginning, but they were eventually defeated by the Mycenaean civilization and assimilated into Greece. Even heroes such as King Minos and Rhadamanthys were gradually stigmatized. The king, who was originally a powerful king who fought everywhere and made Athens unable to raise its head, eventually became a background clown in the story of the hero Theseus.

Regardless of their historical image, the three judges in mythology have now completely become clowns.

Minos absolutely did not recognize any family gods. He roared: "Shut up! Kill him, Minotaur! Obey my orders! You have only one name, that is Minotaur, a monster hated by the gods. The judgment on you has already been issued. You need to spend your whole life to atone for your sins and work for the gods."

"Killing him is the greatest repentance for your past life as a monster!"

At this time, Niu Niu's huge body shook violently, and it slowly stood up. Its iron tower-like figure cast a huge shadow covering the area.

Ye was not panicked at all. Instead, he raised his head calmly, looked at the masked minotaur, and asked: "Is it painful? My friend - this long journey as a monster is over. You have found your name again, so it's time to make a choice. Continue to live as a monster, or -"

Since the Minotaur in front of me would react to that name, and this was such a pure expression of protection.

Following his words, he knocked away a Hades god, Radamanthys.

In addition, no disgusting smell was sensed from its soul, such as the disgusting mixed smell of various souls after cannibalism.

Because of this, Ye is still willing to believe that this Niu Niu is an innocent monster.

Ye was touched and felt pity for the tragic fate that inhabited this natural monster.

This compassion may be very painful to some arrogant people, but to the Minotaur King, it is the most precious and moving emotion in the world.

Monsters don't even deserve mercy.

Faced with this hard-earned precious emotion, this naive and simple monster is even willing to die for humans as long as others are willing to extend a hand of acceptance.

"Move! Minotaur!" Minos shouted ferociously.

"Smash him, Asterios - with thunder -" Ye walked in front of Niu Niu, exposing his back to him without reservation, as if he was not worried at all about being suddenly attacked. Then he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the statue of Minos opposite, and whispered.

Boom~!

The next moment, Niu Niu moved!

Minos's expression finally eased a lot. Fortunately, this beast still obeyed his orders! But then, his expression froze on his face, still with disbelief.

Niu Niu's extraordinary flexibility and speed, which did not match his huge body, allowed him to cross the space and rush in front of him in just a few steps.

Then a huge fist came whistling like lightning, shining directly on his face.

At the same time, Ye's words fell at the same time: "--Smash the darkness!"

Boom! It was as if thunder struck in the underworld.

This was something that absolutely should not have appeared in the dark and silent world of the dead. The fist quickly cut through the air and actually produced tiny flashes of lightning, making a thunderous sound.

Asterios, the hero of lightning, made his choice.

The statue of Minos was also shattered this time. Even the god inside had not yet appeared before it exploded into countless pieces of blood and flesh.

There was a scream from inside, and then there was silence. With a huge roar, the statue was completely shattered and began to collapse.

At this time, the only judge of the underworld left on the scene was Aeacus.

This god of the underworld remained silent throughout the entire process, just witnessing everything that happened in the trial, neither interrupting nor stopping it.

He was the grandfather of Achilles during his lifetime. Although he was also the son of Zeus, he was not the child of Europa. He had no direct brother relationship with the other two gods of the underworld, at least not biological brothers, but only half-brothers.

The reason why Aeacus became a god was because he was fair enough during his lifetime, even when facing his father, the king of gods Zeus.

His fairness was appreciated by the gods, who made him a deity, responsible for the final fair judgment in the underworld.

When he saw one of his colleagues being beaten away or killed, both of them died at the hands of the monsters he created.

Aeacus, who should have shown fear at this moment, finally spoke slowly with a shock that he could not conceal: "Asterios of Lightning...?"

Volume 2 Greek Universe - Trojan War: Chapter 239: I remembered my legion's (large) code and faced Hades!

"What a good name... It seems that I have made wrong judgments more than once. With such a sincere heart, it seems that Minos has deceived me. He is not a man-eating monster. I should have thought of it earlier! There is not a single spot in his soul breath, it is so pure."

Compared with the threat of death, the god of justice seemed to be in great pain at this moment, because he had made two unfair judgments.

One time was about the matter of Niu Niu, he just said it, and the other time?

Isn't that the great hero Griffith in front of us?

Among the three judges, Minos, according to records, had a veto over the final decision in mythology. When the other two wanted to judge Griffith's crimes, even if the god of justice disagreed in his heart, it would be of no effect.

He had already made a mistake for this, and he couldn't continue to make the same mistake.

"Are you no longer going to judge me, Aeacus?" he asked that night.

"You have never made any wrong choices that go against justice. What crime have you committed?" Aeacus said.

Doesn't this prove that Aeacus did not think that killing Ares and Poseidon was wrong? He should even be aware that he had killed the incarnation of Zeus.
