Ye: Yes, I am in pain!

The pain was so severe that I could hardly suppress it.

Why don't you leave? Why are you still standing here, not knowing what you are moved by?

It is a simulated universe, and you can be a hero or a demon king, and you can do whatever you want, and you can walk into multiple possible world lines.

For him who seems to be in a desperate situation now, it is actually a good opportunity.

Now he urgently needs stronger power to deal with the crisis that may arise next.

Zeus is still watching the outside world covetously, and if he finds out that he is not dead, he will never give up so easily.

And Hades, the god of the underworld who could have been won over, accidentally snatched away his beloved woman. It is hard to say what the attitude of the god of the underworld is now.

Now that Tartarus has noticed his strength and potential, it is actually not the worst thing for Ye.

Even the so-called threat of branding.

I'm not worried at all about the night when the worst that can happen is death and the game will reopen.

Others might even be coerced by Tartarus in order to survive and retain this power.

But for Ye, whose power can only truly grow and replenish itself by earning great deeds and legendary levels, the power gained in the simulated universe is false no matter how strong it is.

Even if it means sacrificing his life, as long as it is used at the critical moment, he doesn't mind terminating the simulation and putting a perfect end to this trip.

Giving up his life was not a difficult choice for him.

Just like when an arrow was shot on the battlefield to establish the border line between the two countries for peace.

When Tartarus thought he would have to obey him in order to survive and gain more power.

Night backhand can give him a whole big job.

For Ye, this power, which was originally called a [Curse] for the Hero of Glory, is the perfect tool to pass the level.

And Tartarus also got the title of tool man.

Perhaps other heroes would still worry about whether to become the Agent of the Abyss because they care about their image. But for Ye -

"Isn't this the dark side?"

Whitening is three points weaker, blackening is N times stronger! ~!

What is worthy of being remembered by the world is never the brilliance of a power, but whether what those people have done is moving and touching enough, or leaves a big enough impression of destruction and devastation.

The extremes of black and white are enough to be deeply remembered by people.

Fear and emotion are not contradictory. Who says you can't be a hero after turning evil?

Black can also be justice!

"Go--!~!" Ye directly and forcibly drove Ryuke's consciousness out through the military force.

The armor on his body disappeared instantly, and without the protection of the armor, he became tattered and looked like he was about to die. With his last breath hanging on, Ye looked up at the sky quietly, as if waiting for the moment of judgment.

This 'desperate' scene made the original God of the Abyss very satisfied, and he did not care about the means by which the little goddess of the sea disappeared under his nose.

Although it was interesting, he didn't pay attention to it.

On the other hand, the last scene that Ryuke saw after successfully killing himself was the lonely hero facing the vast amount of will that seemed like the evil of this world.

"If it wasn't to buy me time to escape, he would have wanted to fight to the death."

"It's all because of me. It's all because of me..."

'Ah, ah, this feeling makes me sick. Hateful weakness and powerlessness. If only I could provide more strength! '

The scene at that moment made the goddess' pupils shrink and she felt like her stomach was dropping.

Looking at the bloodstained face of the warrior, she gradually could not imagine the handsome and beautiful appearance she had seen when she first met him.

This sense of loss did not make her fickle, because the man's face was no longer there, so she no longer liked him.

On the contrary, compared to the love at first sight in the past, I have a more realistic understanding of what it means to be a man and what it means to be a hero.

A hero is someone who sacrifices himself to protect others at the critical moment.

Brave, thoughtful, even if his body is extremely disabled at this moment, it is the most lethal, charming and contagious body in the world.

Although not as glorious and beautiful as the hero she had imagined at the beginning, it remained in the depths of her mind in a rude and extremely aggressive way, leaving a deep mark.

When the scene before her eyes flashed and the scene changed, the Ocean Goddess found herself turned back into the Poplar Goddess and returned to her original body.

But the memory is still stuck at the last moment.

It was the face of a man with a pair of dim eyes that reflected no emotion, staring straight at the sky like a ghost, quietly waiting for the moment of despair to fall.

"...! I want to save you...!" Even though the reason they were together was very casual, and even though they had probably known each other for less than three days.

Rather than being a couple, they are more like friends.

But if she abandons that man like this, she will probably regret it for the rest of her life, and Ryuke has completely lost the smile on her face without realizing it.

It was precisely because of how terrified she was when facing Tartarus that she felt ashamed that she actually felt at ease when she returned to a place where she felt at ease. This strong sense of guilt would torment her and make it difficult for her to sleep or eat.

And at this moment, on the other side, it’s night here.

When the power of Tartarus was infused into his body, he not only did not feel any pain, but instead felt indescribably comfortable.

His flesh and blood recovered rapidly, and he began to wear a set of pitch-black armor. His face was obscured by endless shadows and could not be seen clearly. A bright red cloak appeared behind him.

The whole body began to emit a green flame that was like the light of the soul.

At the same time, the Titans, who were supposed to continue fighting with Ye, suddenly knelt down on the ground and bowed towards Ye.

At this moment, Ye seemed to have become the devil from hell.

"The hundred-armed giants will help you fight... Go and wreak havoc on the earth. As long as everything that makes Zeus unhappy satisfies me, I will grant you more power. You don't need to face the weak moments like today. If you can end the myth of Zeus... -"

Tartarus' voice finally died away.

But obviously, if Zeus could be eliminated and the mythology built around him overthrown, this god of the abyss would have the opportunity to reign supreme and establish a new mythology system.

At that time, he will also give an unexpected surprise to Griffith, the hero who accomplished this great feat.

But Ye remained very calm about this surprise.

There is no such thing as a free lunch. The stakes of everything are already secretly marked.

If there really comes a moment when Zeus is overthrown, his power will certainly not be tolerated by this god of the abyss. I am afraid that one day he will be destroyed and his bridge will be demolished after he has crossed the river.

What kind of surprise? More like a shock.

And isn't the task that Tartarus assigned to him exactly the same as that of Typhon, the ancestor of monsters?

How could he go from being a hero to becoming a monster that scourges the earth?

No - considering his human form, he should be the Demon King.

As a world where heroism is prevalent, Greece's worldview is completely different from that of traditional Japanese RPG games, in which the concept of the Demon King does not exist.

This may be the first-ever conceptual invasion.

"The devil?"

Volume 2 Greek Universe - Trojan War: When the 263rd chapter comes out, I see that Zeus is so big, the Dionysian Festival of the Light of Zeus?

He sits on a throne forged from bones.

Scholar Plato recorded and described it in his book.

"The Demon King - Talos!"

This is the new identity of the hero Griffith, who has abandoned his original name and glorious appearance.

The name is also taken from the homonym of Tartarus, Talos, which is intended to make him completely abandon his past as a hero.

...The intention of the God of the Abyss was to make him abandon his past glory and become a complete slave to power.

Although this name is the same as a certain gigantic mechanical creation, the giant creature forged by the God of Fire that protects Princess Europa, they cannot be viewed in the same way.

The name Talos once became the name of a mysterious man that people in the Greek world were terrified of, and some even dared not to mention.

The reason why the world knows this name is not because the name of Talos made the devil, but because the devil made Talos.

This will be the name of a demon king that will scare countless people in the future.

……

Tartarus himself opened the door to the real world for Ye...――

The abyss is also part of the underworld, so naturally one can return to the earth from here.

Not to mention the relationship between Tartarus and Gaia, the Earth Mother.

Although the old woman helped Zeus for a period of time in the middle period, she was always dissatisfied with Zeus's killing of Uranus and imprisonment of her children, the Titans, in the abyss. She had wanted to overthrow Zeus' rule for a long time.

In other words - in Greece, there were many gods who wanted to overthrow Zeus. Not only was Zeus aware of many of them, but those gods had even put it into practice themselves.

But Zeus did not kill them, including Athena and Poseidon, he only gave them light punishments and severe warnings.

This is not because he is magnanimous. This petty-minded man has no time for magnanimity.

But it is difficult to actually kill gods, just like the sage Prometheus who was chained on the Caucasus Mountains, exposed to the wind, rain and sun all day long, and had to suffer the pain of Zeus' eagle pecking at his heart and liver.

Every time Prometheus' body was eaten, his internal organs would grow back the next day, and the cycle would repeat itself.

Zeus couldn't kill him, but he came up with this cruelest punishment.

The same goes for those who rebel against their own gods.

Since they still need their help to maintain their rule, they have not yet completely torn their relations and are only maintaining peace temporarily.

That's why Gaia cooperated with Tartarus, and now she and Tartarus are nominally on the same front. Ye, who is very aware of the times, naturally became an ally of the Mother Goddess of the Earth.

Gaia's consciousness, which was supposed to prevent the dead from returning to the earth, turned a blind eye to the sudden opening in the ground, from which Night and many huge Titans walked out.

And that is the moment you cross the portal and reach the outside world.

Ye felt his own heartbeat again.

"I'm alive again--!"

What an incredible transformation.

Orpheus once told him that any dead soul who wanted to leave the underworld would be subjected to a trial.

The hero Orpheus failed to distinguish between reality and illusion in the end, and looked back at the critical moment, causing his wife to be sucked back into the underworld.

And he seemed to return to the ground easily through the power of Tartarus.

But wasn’t the previous fight with the Titans a test?

And those hundred-armed giants who serve them...

Although he came to the human world at this time, he did not seem to be truly resurrected. Instead, he appeared on the earth briefly by special means.

Now that Ye had gained some of Tartarus' power, he was not sure how much stronger he had become, but he was still able to suppress these incomplete hundred-armed giants.

Now that I have returned to the present world, the first thing I need to do is to find out where I am, and the other is to determine the current timeline.

Ye jumped directly and landed on the shoulder of a giant with a hundred arms.

At this time, they were in a mountain forest. As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see. Soon he found a human settlement at the end of his field of vision.

A group of beautiful women in cool clothes were sacrificing a bull, and the sacrifice was filled with fruits and fine wine.

Although they were far apart, with the help of Tartarus' power, he still heard the words clearly and knew where he was now.

"Crete" - This is an island that plays an important role in Greek mythology.

Many heroic myths took place on this island.

This place once had a very grand civilization and culture of its own, but was later apparently absorbed by Greek civilization.

The three great judges of the underworld ruled the kingdom here during their lifetime.

There is indeed a legend that Crete is the closest place to the underworld in this world.
