Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

A sense of awe and confusion arose spontaneously—people's minds were now firmly convinced of Ye's identity.

These aren't the descendants of the heroes from the Argo; why would their king be so enthusiastic?!

Chapter Seventeen: When even the gods, with their God-like perspective, begin to doubt the existence of true heroes.

Some citizens exclaimed in amazement: "The last time Agamemnon came, the King had a sour face; we've never seen him smile so brightly before!"

That was the king of Mycenae!

The people knew that their king had a special status as the son of Hercules, so even the king of Mycenae, the suzerain state that ruled all of Greece, could show him no respect.

But conversely, someone who receives such lavish treatment from the king must be of a much higher status, or perhaps they are extremely close to the king's family to warrant such enthusiasm.

Doesn't this further prove his identity as a descendant of the Argo heroes?

If Telefose knew what his people were thinking, he would surely shout – “Slander!”

Even though he is the son of Hercules, he is not Hercules himself, and he knows his own limitations very well.

He could easily explain away the Mycenaean king's lack of respect and previous sour expression—obviously! Someone just conquered your country, looted it clean, offered a perfunctory apology, and then walked away without doing anything else…

Can you give him a nice look?

If it weren't for the fact that he was stronger, Telefose would have killed Agamemnon with a single blow.

Unfortunately, he believed he had only inherited his father's wisdom, not his bravery. It wasn't that he didn't want revenge, but rather that he simply couldn't win!

As Night was invited to the palace by Telephorus, Telephorus hosted a banquet for Night with extremely high honors.

Soon, the two were having a pleasant conversation at the dinner table...

Well, it's just that Telefose occasionally mentions how good his grandfather's relationship was with the other heroes on the Argo, and what fun things they did together.

Telefose didn't remember any of them... but he didn't care too much, just kept agreeing...

Telefose was somewhat embarrassed.

Those events happened so long ago, and his father never told him such detailed stories. Who knows what actually happened on the Argo back then?

And Ye deliberately chose to talk about some trivial, almost worthless everyday anecdotes, all of which were things that could not be verified.

But the night is described very naturally, even vividly and realistically.

If it's a fabricated story, then it's far too detailed... (Night: If you're not interested in Norse mythology, we also offer Celtic mythology and Egyptian mythology packages.)

It was definitely not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but it's like the common misconception people have fallen into before.

The effort, money, and time spent on this only brings some fame without any real benefit. The other party has no reason to deceive you about something like this.

Moreover, the king believed that the people had already confirmed Night's identity and spontaneously supported him, so they naturally chose to believe in Night's identity.

When the people saw the king come out to greet them, they spontaneously believed in Ye's identity.

Perhaps they'll think of learning about the legendary story of the hero from the Argo later on.

As participants in this experience, whether they were coachmen, slum dwellers, or even ordinary citizens, they would spontaneously spread the word and use it as a topic of conversation.

The longer this kind of deception based on habitual thinking persists, the harder it becomes to detect.

It can be said that Ye has already achieved most of its goals by this point.

Apollo, the sun god, and Artemis, the moon goddess, who witnessed almost the entire process, fell into a silent, mysterious contemplation.

it turns out--

Is this okay?

Are all those mortals fools?

Ye's operation was something that anyone could replicate, provided they were bold, meticulous, and calm enough, though the success rate wouldn't be that high.

The few loopholes that were easily exploited were completely concealed by his calm attitude and his good looks, elegant demeanor, and poise.

Especially the story about the hero Kratos Lista that was fabricated at night...

The two deities were very interested.

For example, in Iceland, she encountered the mysterious Valkyrie Brunhilde, where she obtained a divine artifact, and later used the artifact to defeat the evil dragon Fafnir, who guarded a large amount of gold, on another island.

The story is told in great detail and is even more exciting than the tales of most Greek heroes today.

For the Greek gods, who are all hero enthusiasts, it would be such a shame if such a wonderful story wasn't true.

The premise is that Apollo and his companions haven't heard any other versions of Kratos's adventures—like god-slaying...

Is there really a Valkyrie named Brunhilde?

Since it's a small island in the ocean, could it be a fairy under Poseidon's command?

'Hmm, it's also possible she was a goddess under the command of another ancient sea god.'

Apollo and Artemis were pondering this moment—

Although nominally Greece was ruled by the three brothers Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon, who were the three god-kings who respectively ruled the three regions of heaven, the underworld, and the sea.

But actually, besides the sky...

Of the other two major regions, Poseidon could only control about one-third of the Greek seas.

Besides Oceanus, the ocean god among the twelve Titans who ruled the world in the previous era, there are also many other regions ruled and controlled by powerful monsters such as Leviathan, which are so powerful that even the gods fear them.

The underworld is also—besides the obvious hell, there is an even deeper realm, the abyss, which even the gods cannot access—it itself is the body of the ancient god Tartarus.

The defeated Titans of the previous generation of divine wars, led by Uranus, the king of the sky, were also imprisoned here.

Although the Olympian gods nominally ruled over Greece, even the twelve Olympian gods could not possibly know the exact number of gods in Greece.

Many of the ancient gods who survived were no less powerful than them.

Perhaps this Brunhilde is a force under the command of these ancient factions of the main gods.

When a story is so vivid that even Apollo, the sun god, and Artemis, the moon goddess, who witnessed everything (from God's perspective), couldn't help but doubt and believe it.

Not to mention Telefous, who was in the thick of it all, was already at least 80% convinced. Most importantly, he didn't think he had anything worthwhile that would warrant the other party fabricating such an excellent epic to deceive him.

Midnight also showcased her musical talent; her beautiful voice, comparable to that of the Muses, further captivated Telefose.

That is, the atmosphere was perfect, and the timing seemed right.

The conversation then turned to the recent invasion of the Mysia coast by the Greek coalition. After arriving on the island, Telefose heard about the tragedy from the locals, and Telefose's mood immediately soured.

When Telephus took the opportunity to lament, Night played a harp to express his grief for the fallen heroes.

Night: "It's hard to imagine that a group of heroes, under the guise of justice, are doing things that are even worse than those of pirates and bandits."

They didn't even bother to find out beforehand whether the country they were targeting was their objective before they started their attack..."

"I don't believe that if the Allied Forces had any sense of justice, they would have made such a basic mistake. What's even more absurd is that many of these people are heroes whose fathers also boarded that ship, the Argo."

Night seemed to feel indignant on Telephus's behalf, comforting him while expressing her sympathy for the Greek coalition's disregard for past friendship and their attack on the kingdom of their comrade's descendants. This immediately resonated with Telephus!

Chapter Eighteen: I wish I could nail them to the top of Mount Olympus and subject them to the torture of having their hearts ripped out.

It hurts so much!!

When you feel pain alone and choose to swallow your anger, you may not be feeling that wronged!

But when your friends and family hear about what happened to you and join you in righteous indignation to curse those damned robbers and bastards...

Even trivial matters that don't cause any real grievance can gradually stir up emotions, making one feel like they've been wronged by a great injustice!

Not to mention that Telefose himself had already suffered a great injustice...

grass--!

That really resonated with me!

At this moment, Teleford immediately regarded Night as a confidant. Good heavens—in this day and age, there are not many honest people who dare to openly criticize the Greek coalition so openly.

Not to mention the Greeks, who brought together almost all the heroes of that era.

Even Telephorus, son of Hercules, dared not offend them, yet Night dared to directly denounce those descendants of heroes as nothing more than bandits. (Night: Whether I curse them or not, they're all enemies; I'm already burdened with debts, so I don't care anymore!)

Ruthless!

He began to think that his father and Uncle Kratos must have gotten along very well on the Argo.

Otherwise, there would have been no need for Lord Griffith to say so many offensive things for their sake.

No wonder Lord Griffiths came to visit me first.

This is Greece, the land of gods, who are constantly listening to the earth. Any news, no matter how small, is likely to be spread.

Sometimes, news from Greece was so scarce that Agamemnon's attack on Troy could reach the descendants of Hercules.

But sometimes—

When you speak ill of a hero, or many heroes, or even a deity, the news seems to be instantly activated by a 5G network, appearing on the homepages of major platforms like Toutiao and UC News, being pushed out 24/7.

They seemed afraid that all the Greeks, including the heroes, wouldn't know they were being spoken ill of.

This is something that would be extremely hateful. Given the petty nature of those heroes, they would surely hold a grudge and seek revenge if they found out.

For example, there's that wicked Hughes who, out of anger at being forcibly recruited into the army, killed a friendly hero as soon as he landed on the island.

There are countless instances where people have even taken someone's life out of dissatisfaction.

Telephorus was deeply moved by Griffith's courageous act of speaking up for him at such great risk, and almost wanted to become sworn brothers with him.

He began to persuade Ye to keep quiet and be careful with his words, not wanting Ye to offend other heroes because of this, even though he was also a descendant of heroes...

But those ruthless guys won't show mercy just because of their fathers' past relationship.

Night understood the hidden meaning in Telefose's words.

Good guy——

You're the one who says to be careful with your words, but you're also the one whose dissatisfaction is almost overflowing.

Telefose certainly harbored a great deal of resentment.

This is practically a direct attack on the heroes, saying they're all selfish and petty people.

Because of their selfishness, they are ruthless in killing even those with whom they have a connection.

In terms of callousness and ingratitude, it wasn't just Greece—Troy was no less so.

Night then thought of Paris, who was also Chryseis's sister and cousin. He wasn't worried at all about his sister Briseis being kidnapped; instead, he was having a wild party with the other heroes in the Trojan palace.
