Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

The poor messenger lost his life because of it.

However, Agamemnon wanted to kill the messenger not only because he wanted to shift the blame, but also because he realized that the messenger was suspicious.

They hadn't told them that Ye had arrived riding a divine deer.

The messenger couldn't possibly be unaware of the importance of the matter, yet he still didn't speak. This ruled out the possibility that he was a fearless madman, and his identity was also plausible; he didn't seem like a spy sent by Troy.

Then there might not be many left.

But that's something even Agamemnon wouldn't dare to think about...

Such as—the work of God.

Was someone—no, was it God—deliberately deceiving the human mind and orchestrating this contradictory drama?

Whether out of fear of the moon goddess Artemis or a desire to quell this unusual conflict, Agamemnon truly wanted to comfort Good Night.

however--

You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.

Ye had no desire to be on good terms with him; in fact, there was an irreconcilable conflict between them.

Even the night itself seemed restless, some even wondering if they could just kill Agamemnon outright.

However, the chances of success were too slim, so to be on the safe side, Ye temporarily abandoned that tempting idea.

He then launched an attack—demanding an explanation from Agamemnon, or even compensation.

"This is not for my own sake, but to appease Lady Artemis's anger."

My dearest king, you surely don't want to experience the pain of being targeted by the moon goddess again, do you?

Night's words made Agamemnon feel as if he had been fed a mouthful of excrement; his face turned ugly, and his smile vanished.

How dare you threaten me with my goddess?

That wretched brat—!

I've already said it was a misunderstanding, yet you're still so unforgiving.

At this moment, Ye did not believe it was a misunderstanding.

To be honest, as the King of Mycenae, his father, the hero Atreus, won his position by fighting with his brothers.

Because of his involvement in royal power struggles, Agamemnon experienced from a young age a series of tragedies reminiscent of world-famous paintings, such as fathers sacrificing their daughters, wives killing their husbands, and sons killing their mothers.

These experiences forged Agamemnon into a powerful hero, but it also seemed that the excessive suffering made him crave pleasure—ultimately turning him into a greedy, lustful, and warlike tyrant.

But none of this affected Ye's desire to make him suffer even more.

If Agamemnon doesn't show the appropriate sincerity, he wouldn't mind letting Agamemnon experience a life even more tragic than the original story.

For no other reason than that the Moon Goddess protects him. (Pretending to be innocent)

The Moon Goddess's Familiars—that's how confident they should be!

Sorry, having a god protecting you really does allow you to do whatever you want! At least at this critical juncture, Agamemnon, who has already offended the sea nymph (Achilles' mother), definitely doesn't want to test his brains by offending another god.

Having calculated this point, Ye was now utterly fearless.

Chapter Forty-Four: Hunting is not merely about killing; the gods have no need for such things.

Faced with Night's coercion, Agamemnon's face turned very ugly, and Night's handsome appearance was no longer so attractive to him.

On the last night, they extorted a large amount of gold and soldiers from Agamemnon.

On the surface, Agamemnon also stated that this was a donation from him as king to Ye, who had traveled a great distance to provide support.

This barely preserved Agamemnon's last shred of dignity.

Agamemnon, who had several moments of rage and urge to kill, ultimately restrained himself because of the goddess behind the night.

In Greece, you need connections to get ahead in the game.

Otherwise, Agamemnon can show you what it means for the dead to talk more than the living, but never be able to speak.

Afterwards, Agamemnon held a grand banquet. Previously, he had invited Night alone, but now they had reached an agreement that Night would be introduced to the other heroes.

At the banquet, Ye saw many more heroes.

Among the most famous are Ajax the Elder and Younger, Diomedes, Odysseus, and Menelaus, the Spartan king who suffered.

There were also many heroes who were not very famous, such as Idomeneus, King of Crete; Toas, King of Tauria; Thessaly, King of Ormenion; and Teucer, the first King of Troy.

There are quite a few heroes who are written as heroes, read as kings, but are actually just there to make up the numbers.

Achilles did not come—it seems we are still in a state of cold war and isolation.

Night's main focus is now on those powerful heroes, such as Diomedes, with whom he had just had a deep battle.

As expected of a hero from the Age of Gods, capable of harming even the gods, his physical body was incredibly powerful.

Diomedes, who had suffered such severe injuries, has now recovered enough to attend banquets normally.

However, Diomedes barely spoke to Night throughout the entire banquet!

At the banquet, the other kings were quite curious about the night, and King Toas of Tauria even ignored Agamemnon's unpleasant expression and showed great enthusiasm for the night.

Of course, this is not unrelated to their beliefs.

In mythology, this is a ruthless person who worships the moon goddess to the point of being almost obsessed.

She once nearly sacrificed her two sons to the moon goddess, but was ultimately saved by Iphigenia.

It's worth mentioning that this Iphigenia was the daughter of Agamemnon, who was almost sacrificed to the moon god by her own father, and was a princess of the Mycenaean kingdom.

However, unlike Agamemnon, who was forced into this situation, Toas was an even more eccentric character who voluntarily sacrificed his two sons.

When he expressed his regret that he could not sacrifice his two precious sons to Lady Artemis.

Night couldn't help but say, "The pure moon goddess has no need for others to offer living people as sacrifices."

Although Lady Artemis has a hunting goddess side, what she loves is not killing, but the process of hunting freely itself.

Even Iphigenia was spared the death of the merciful goddess.

Please don't do anything that would embarrass the goddess, Toas.

Toas was completely stunned.

No human sacrifices are required?

But their tradition is to sacrifice people to the moon goddess. Even the king himself firmly believed in this and was so obsessed with it that he almost killed his two sons.

So now you're telling her the goddess doesn't like it?

He was angry, incredulous, and wanted to argue—

He had heard similar things before, but he didn't believe them at all and even rejected them all.

But now the one saying this is the hero Griffith.

The fact that the other party arrived riding a divine deer was undeniable; as Artemis's attendant and messenger, there was absolutely no possibility of them deceiving him.

So you're saying you really did something wrong?

For a moment, Toas became completely dazed and fell into a state of self-isolation. He fell silent and slunk away to a corner to drink alone.

Ye managed to keep this person in his memory.

Although this king was not a very good person.

However, the belief in the moon goddess can be exploited.

Even if he doesn't use them, it's good to let his spirits be dampened, at least the soldiers he brought from Toria are still quite effective on the battlefield.

This also dampened the morale of the Greek coalition forces.

However, to Ye's surprise, just as he was teaching Toas a lesson, a gentle breeze blew by, instantly making Ye feel refreshed and his body filled with the blessing of the Moon Goddess.

Just then, night fell and the moon appeared. Night, which was already recovering rapidly under the blessing of the moon goddess, was further enhanced by this sudden surge of power, and the injuries were instantly healed.

This was clearly the work of Artemis.

Night: ? It seems the goddess is still keeping an eye on this.

Was she satisfied with what I just did?

Artemis did not appear at this time, presumably having witnessed his negotiations with Agamemnon and reluctantly accepted the situation.

This disappointed Ye a little. He had originally planned to take advantage of Agamemnon and then go to Artemis to complain and ask her to teach Agamemnon a lesson.

Given Zeus's doting affection for his youngest daughter, if Artemis were to harass Agamemnon, Zeus would likely not only not object, but would probably even actively capture Agamemnon for him to bully.

Artemis will only continue to help the Greek coalition once she has vented her anger.

This doesn't bother me at all...

After all, the King of Gods can decide who wins and whoever he wants to win will ultimately win.

Even the king of mankind is nothing more than a plaything. Why should we care about their feelings?!

Have you ever seen a deity care about human senses (just as humans care about ants)?

Achilles' mother, the sea nymph, could persuade Zeus to allow Troy to win a battle first, and then help Greece defeat Troy.

But the king of gods didn't care how many Greek soldiers or heroes died.

However—even if Artemis did not descend and take action.

After Ye left, Agamemnon still flew into a rage, even taking his anger out on the beautiful women he had been with.

That night, screams of agony echoed from Agamemnon's tent, but no one dared to step forward and stop him.

It's clear that Agamemnon couldn't lash out at the banquet, but he was actually quite unhappy about being extorted by Night.

After all, Agamemnon paid almost all of the compensation money out of his own pocket, so it would be a miracle if he could laugh about it.

then--

At an unusual banquet, apart from Agamemnon of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the King of Toria, who was said to be withdrawn and in self-doubt, the other heroes had a normal sense of the night.

Neither enthusiastic nor averse, except in a state of indifference.

Oh, and we also have to exclude Odysseus, who was absolutely envious of his status as a member of the Moon Goddess's kin.

However, it left a very deep impression on many heroes.
