Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Lista? Is it the Lista family from his memories?

As he walked toward the Senate Council, Marius felt a little dazed. He took a deep breath, smiled, and realized he was probably being too sensitive.

After all, that hero has been gone for so many years, he probably won't reappear.

This man didn't appear when the Gracchus brothers died; he'd probably vanished completely... or even—

Marius refused to believe that the figure he admired most had died outside.

But he didn't want that man to come back at this time.

This era belongs to Tamarius...

The same Rome does not need two suns.

However, Mario was not worried—it was just that the name Lista was meaningless if it weren't for the figure in his memory.

however--

When Marius calmly began the meeting with the many elders, he heard the elder in charge of the matter announce the full name of the new nobleman.

"Regarding the restoration of Lord Lista's status...—I hereby declare—"

Mario: "Wait!! What did you just say, Lista what?!"

Marius suddenly opened his eyes, stared intently at the elder, and asked with a stiff smile.

His emotional outburst drew strange looks from many elders who had not experienced that dark era.

After all, too many veterans were cut off by Night that year.

After Night left the simulated universe, the Gracchi brothers, who believed that Night's disappearance was a conspiracy by the Senate, joined forces to cause a lot of trouble for the Senate. Every year, the heads of the nobles who died could fill the sewage drain covers at the gates of Rome.

With so many veterans dead, it was natural to replace them with new ones. So, although many people came from that era, over time they had little recollection of the name Listaye.

However, some of the older elders were different. At this moment, they, like Marius, showed signs of unease, and some even broke out in a cold sweat—their faces suddenly turning pale.

"You said—what's your name? Lista something?"

"It is Listaye—Your Excellency."

"!!! Oh, shit... Is that really his name? Impossible, could it be that he's back!"

"Perhaps it's just a coincidence of names, that's right—! It must be a coincidence of names."

Just like His Excellency Sempronius Gracchus in the past.

"Damn it, don't even mention that name..."

"Couldn't you have found a better analogy?" At this point, some of the older elders were already arguing amongst themselves.

In Rome, it was not uncommon for descendants to inherit their own names, or even share a name with their father, among the nobility.

Leaving aside surnames, just looking at first names—I now know four or five men named Gaius.

Amidst the commotion, someone suggested that they first meet Lord Listaye, perhaps because they just shared the same name.

Thus, under the tense gazes of many senators, some even found it difficult to breathe. When they heard footsteps outside the hall, they knew that the new nobleman was about to arrive.

Some of the elders even experienced physical discomfort and nausea at this time, feeling as if they had returned to that dark era, with countless gallows flashing before their eyes.

Is it that exaggerated?

Even those elders who had not personally experienced the Dark Ages were terrified at this moment.

They hadn't thought much of it at first, but seeing their companions in such a disheveled and frightened state before even meeting them made them feel uneasy.

...Thump... As silence fell over the main hall, everyone suddenly held their breath, and you could hear a pin drop.

Someone swallowed hard, and footsteps drew closer.

Bang! A loud, rough sound of the door being pushed open rang out.

A lovely young girl suddenly appeared in front of the group of elders.

"Ding ding~!!" It was an incredibly cute cry, but it startled the elders.

Marius suddenly stood up from his seat, his body stiffening.

grass--!!

The violent sound of the door being pushed open just now nearly scared the death of many of the elders who had it ingrained in their very being.

I thought I was back at the guillotine in my dream—

The result? A girl appeared!

Chapter 147 A Mass PTSD Attack! Fear Engraved in Their DNA

Marius was numb!

Lista is a girl?!

Could this be a descendant of that person?

No, their ages don't match at all.

However, it must be said that many elders and Marius breathed a sigh of relief.

Not seeing that familiar figure left them both disappointed and somewhat fearful. Thank goodness it wasn't him.

However, they had barely relaxed for a short while—

Helena then said to those behind her, "Am I that scary? Why are these people so afraid of me?"

Even though she is currently in human form, she believes she has inherited the unparalleled beauty of her Carthaginian queen, a vengeful mother, and that her face is absolutely the cutest in the world.

Why does this girl, who is the cutest and most invincible girl in the world, look like she's seeing a female tyrant?

Helena anxiously inquired after repeatedly confirming that she had not activated her dragon form.

Although Helena devoted most of her emotions, hobbies, and interests to combat, she still cared a great deal about the remaining aspects, especially a woman's concern for her own appearance.

“No, you’re very cute.” Night, who was a step behind Helena, said honestly.

Although they were very wary of Helena and considered her a dangerous presence.

Even Ye, who was deeply impressed by Helena's power and whose impression of her was one of absolute violence and a great red dragon, could not deny that she had a very cute face.

If this were in the Greek era—

Ye had never seen Pandora or Helena, who were hailed as the most beautiful women in Greece, but among all the women he had ever met, Helena was definitely the most beautiful.

Ye Xiang began to understand why heroes would go so crazy for a woman.

Whether in the past or the future, this is indeed an era that values ​​appearance!

At this moment, Helena, who had just received Ye's affirmation, pouted and said unhappily, "Hey? Since I'm so cute, why are they making that terrified face?"

Unforgivable—can I kill them all?

Helena's lips curled into a sweet yet dangerous smile. She raised her small hand to cover her face, and the undisguised killing intent in her words instantly filled the entire hall.

Suddenly——

The elders, who had just thought the girl was harmless and hadn't even had time to appreciate her stunning beauty, were completely stunned by her brutal killing intent, and felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

The feeling was like a cold, icy snake, insect, or centipede crawling up from the base of your spine, slowly creeping towards your heart and even your brain.

Danger--!

And it is in this feeling that your head may not be on your arm at any moment, and it can even cause hallucinations, as if you are already dead, with all your limbs lying on the ground.

Those hideous, terrified faces stared straight at them.

The elders, terrified by the illusion, were stunned and speechless...

Then, the male voice outside the door spoke again: "Not for now, but it's still useful to keep it."

Helena: "Can I gouge their eyes out?"

Eyes that cannot appreciate true beauty have no reason to exist.

Elders—!!!

Although they were unable to move due to the cold, their voices could still be heard.

grass--!

What a devil!

If we can't kill them, we'll gouge out their eyes.

Among the many elders, Marius was the first to recover. After all, he was a man who had risen to become one of the giants of Rome in a world with a mythical existence. In addition, he had personally witnessed some of the power of the Night when he was young. After Marius barely recovered, he looked in the direction where the girl was.

Marius stared blankly at Helena's angelic face.

Charm effect detected – Passed!

Even Ye lost consciousness for a moment when he first met Helena.

This is a natural allure that even ordinary heroes cannot escape—Marius, who has not shown particularly outstanding individual strength in either mythology or history, was immediately and completely captivated.

Even now, Helena's murderous smile no longer seemed so dangerous to him.

Just then, Ye walked in, and he pulled up Helena's little red hat, covering half of her alluring face.

He neither supported Helena's outrageous behavior nor rejected it.

This tacit acceptance made Helena understand its meaning.

You can't kill, but you can inflict damage?

It's a bit of a hassle, but it's not a particularly big problem...! Is that what you mean?

However, for some reason, Helena suddenly lost the pleasure of taking action against this group.

Knew it--

Compared to fighting against her own kind like Ye, bullying a group of ordinary people was of no interest to her.

What's going on—on the land blessed by the twelve Roman gods, their city centers don't even have a decent hero.

Looking at the group of disheveled and pale old men in front of her, Helena's assessment was: I'm not targeting anyone in particular, but everyone here is trash.

And it was just as Helena lost interest in the group and night shrouded her face.

Marius and the other elders finally regained consciousness.
