Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

This has nothing to do with justice, nothing to do with right or wrong; even if Night and Diomedes had no enmity, it still—

Seeing the divine deer charging towards him, Diomedes was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat, but being the hero who would one day dare to fight against the gods, Diomedes never lacked courage...

At the critical moment, he instinctively raised the only remaining shield in his hand to block the attack. Bang!

Diomedes was once again propelled by the antlers, this time crashing directly into the ranks of soldiers, instantly crushing many to death.

It has to be said that when gods fight, mortals suffer. The soldiers were just watching a show, but they never expected that they would be the ones to suffer in the end.

Meanwhile, Diomedes, despite his great strength, was powerless against Night.

If it were a ground battle, he would still have a chance to win, but Ye's terrifying strength, combined with the divine speed of the Divine Deer, makes him arguably the strongest and most ferocious cavalry.

All Ye needs to do is hold the weapon firmly and place the spear in front of him.

In ancient times, cavalry relied on this kind of acceleration to charge forward and smash everything in their path.

The combined astonishing power of the two forces, coupled with the incredible speed of the Divine Deer that gave no time to react, left Diomedes constantly struggling to keep up.

Odysseus, watching from the side, broke out in a cold sweat, his whole body trembling with fear!

Now he was even less likely to go up and stop people.

Wow, they really dared to crash into me!

What a fiery temper, just like the Moon Goddess...

That's right, it's confirmed that they are Artemis's Familia.

If Achilles were still alive, that would be wonderful...

How do we deal with such a fast-moving enemy?

Odysseus's face darkened. Damn it—! Although he didn't want to offend Artemis, at this moment, in order to protect Diomedes, he had no choice but to order his soldiers to attack the divine deer and wound it.

He couldn't watch Diomedes fight alone, or even be killed, otherwise Agamemnon would punish him afterward, and he would also offend Athena for failing to save him.

Putting everything else aside, Odysseus also had no liking for Griffith, who was riding a divine deer and rampaging through the camp.

Especially after he became certain that he was indeed a member of Artemis's retinue.

In the Odyssey, Odysseus' own heroic tale, he expressed his admiration for Artemis more than once.

For example, when Odysseus was speaking to Nausicaä, the daughter of King Alcinous, he said, “You are most like Artemis, the daughter of Zeus, the king of the gods, because you are as beautiful and tall as she is, and you have her aura.”

He also said something similar to his wife Penelope: “When Penelope came out of her room, she looked like Artemis or Aphrodite.”

Odysseus chose women who resembled Artemis.

Such an obvious quirk suggests that the moon goddess might not hold a special place in his heart.

Among the goddesses, there are so many beautiful ones, such as Athena, Hestia, Hera, and Demeter, but Artemis is the most unique of them all.

Perhaps every man has a white moonlight in his heart; some prefer the alluring one, while others prefer the purest one.

At this moment, Odysseus looked at the handsome man atop the divine deer, a man even he himself felt ashamed of...

He wasn't sure if this was the reason the other party had become a member of Artemis's kin.

but--

Odysseus told himself that everything he did was to save people.

Then——

He shouted: "All soldiers—! Hear my command!"

Don't panic! Take out your bows and arrows, light them with torches, and launch an attack!

Support Diomedes!

Chapter 40 Facing a Wildfire of Arrows, an Undying Steel Body, How Mad the World Is!

When Odysseus spoke—

In an instant, the soldiers seemed to have finally found their leader and knew what to do.

As the battlefield is where the most elite soldiers in all of Greece are gathered, the quality of the soldiers here is naturally not so bad.

They crossed the storms cast by the goddess, witnessed the battles between heroes, and survived on the battlefield.

Previously, when facing the divine deer, they dared not attack it for fear of offending the goddess of the moon.

But now, as the commander of the first battalion, Odysseus has received the order—

Their innate instinct to obey orders as soldiers calmed them down.

This is the order of the hero Odysseus, and they cannot disobey it. Even if the moon goddess Artemis finds out later, she will forgive us, won't she?

Telling themselves this, the soldiers then began to move about.

In preparation for the attack on Troy, the Greek coalition prepared a large number of rockets.

It is more lethal and hotter than ordinary arrows, and it can even explode in this mythical black technology era.

They drew their bows and simultaneously aimed their arrows at the running divine deer...

Diomedes, who had also heard the sounds, immediately focused intently on the divine deer and night that were attacking him again. Even without weapons, he was one of the strongest heroes among humankind.

Diomedes did not panic. Instead, he prepared to charge forward boldly, attempting to control the trajectory of the divine deer and create an opportunity for his soldiers.

At the same time, it was also an attempt to take the weapon back from Ye's hands.

It is a disgrace for a soldier to fail to hold his weapon firmly and allow it to be easily taken away by others.

Diomedes realized that he had been too careless and underestimated his opponent, so much so that he had been thrown away before he could fully unleash his true strength.

In addition, his arm had gone numb from the deer's impact earlier, but it has now recovered.

Diomedes took a deep breath and suddenly let out a long war cry. He shouted and roared, and an astonishing aura rose from behind him.

What should have been an empty display of power began to affect the surrounding atmosphere as if it had become tangible.

In an instant, it seemed as if a huge, ferocious beast appeared behind Diomedes, about to completely devour the approaching divine deer.

When Diomedes was focused, his eyes became intense and filled with a fierce, oppressive aura.

The divine deer was startled—at this moment, the little deer felt as if it was about to rush into something other than a human being, but rather the entrance to the abyss, into the fangs of Cerberus.

That was a ferocious creature that even the gods would try to tear apart; how could this ordinary divine beast possibly resist it?

The startled deer suddenly braked as it approached, and Ye was almost thrown off balance.

At that very moment, Diomedes pounced on him.

In that instant, the soldiers' rockets rained down like a storm.

Bathed in endless fire rain, the heroes saw only the reflection of their enemy, oblivious to the endless stream of rockets.

Night reacted quickly; just as it was about to be tossed away by the divine deer, it leaped up and dodged Diomedes's attack.

That is, the moment he leaped high into the air, his body reversed, and Ye gripped the spear, performing a skillful spear flourish before suddenly throwing a meteor-like spear strike, a technique he had learned from Achilles.

Boom~! ! !

The spear of light, seemingly forged from the hope of gathering stars, slashed down from above at close range, aiming fiercely at Diomedes' back.

A technique already renowned for its speed—combined with complete ignorance of the night—the First Encounter Kill—complete!

Bang~! ! !

Faced with the spear that suddenly pierced through with a scorching heat, Diomedes could only rely on his powerful intuition and amazing martial skills to forcibly move his body in mid-air, but his shoulder was still pierced through.

*Thud!* The spear, its tip stained red, finally pierced the ground.

Although he was worried about being exposed, Ye did not attach the concept of a divine spear to the spear just now.

But how easy is it to dodge a powerful move learned from Achilles?

Diomedes' arm was almost severed, revealing the broken, white bone, with much of the flesh evaporated, leaving only a few strands of flesh connected together.

Diomedes, who was nearly dying from the pain, raised his shield to block the rain of arrows that was only just beginning to fall.

Damn it——!!

Diomedes was covered in sweat and deeply shaken.

He recognized that shot—!

How is that possible?!

When Diomedes first met Ye, Ye was clearly dressed as a musician and had a harp, which reminded him of the letter from King Telephus.

He knew that a musician hero would come to the front lines to provide support.

He didn't seem like a hero capable of direct combat at all, but the result was that he first had his spear taken away by the opponent, and then he thought that the opponent only had brute force and couldn't exert the power of his weapon.

result--

What did he see?

That signature martial art, almost like Achilles', was a meteor-like throwing technique.

The shot that killed countless Greek heroes on the battlefield.

Diomedes believed that Achilles had personally taught the technique to him, and, suppressing his pain, looked towards the night, hoping that the rockets would at least hinder the night...

Then Diomedes witnessed an astonishing scene.

Faced with the onslaught of fire arrows, Ye neither dodged nor used any weapon to deflect them, but instead charged straight at him through the rain of arrows.

...!! Crazy—so insane!

Diomedes' mouth dropped open, as if he were seeing his father Zeus descend from heaven—a scene even more shocking and terrifying than that.

Bang bang bang! As the rockets exploded on Night, Night emerged unharmed from the billowing smoke, casually pulling out the spear he had just thrown.

Then a spear thrust straight at him, and behind him seemed to appear a huge, ferocious beast, just like Diomedes before him.

But the ferocious beast behind the night became clearer and more distinct, vaguely resembling a dragon's head.

In an instant, Diomedes felt an immense fear—the approaching presence of death.

Rumble~! !

A single shot hurtled towards him, and countless arrows rained down along the way, causing explosions. But he completely ignored them. Those arrows could instantly obliterate any mortal, and even heroes wouldn't dare to withstand such a violent rain of explosions, yet Ye completely disregarded them.

"Invulnerable to swords and spears—an immortal body of steel!!!" Odysseus exclaimed in disbelief, revealing the true nature of the scene before him.
