Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Looking up at the clouds outside, I was disappointed to find that it was already night and I couldn't see any fiery clouds, but I could see a sky full of stars and a beautiful moon.

Unbeknownst to Ye, his perspective happened to meet that of the Moon Goddess, causing her to feel a tingling sensation throughout her body and completely soften.

That subtle, electric sensation was quite peculiar—

Artemis is not disliked.

She was starting to want to see the clouds on the burning horizon.

at the same time--

During this period, quite a few gods paid attention to the night, especially after they entered the Greek army's camp.

But apart from Apollo and Artemis, there aren't many other gods who are still paying attention to the night this late.

After all, even gods don't have the time to constantly monitor a mortal.

However, one goddess developed an interest in the night because of the battle that took place during the day. In addition, this goddess also had the incarnation of an owl and sometimes served as the goddess of the night, so it would be fair to say that she was half a night owl.

So tonight's meeting with Apollo was also seen by the owl, who was in disguise, from the treetops outside the tent.

Those words were enough to make any goddess's heart flutter.

Even the embodiment of wisdom has its emotional moments, and it's not good for a woman to remain too rational during these times.

But Ye's words and Apollo's behavior just now made the goddess doubt—could Artemis really have someone she likes?

Recalling what she had seen during the day, Ye was willing to push himself to the limit until he was covered in blood in order to vindicate his goddess. That powerful will to fight for the goddess and forget about life and death amazed the goddess who loved the way of protection, and even made her feel a little envious.

If there is such a handsome child who is willing to fight like this for me, it doesn't mean that other children are not good.

She never doubted her children's willingness to risk their lives in a duel to protect her.

But there are some differences—

That attitude of unwavering devotion, brooking no disrespect, and sparing no effort to protect the goddess's dignity, even at the slightest provocation—so that's how it is!

It wasn't just simple loyalty; was it also mixed with pure love?

She mistakenly believed that she was already in a relationship with Artemis, only to discover that the goddess who had sworn with her to become a virgin goddess had actually found a boyfriend.

But if it's a child who loves her so deeply, she even feels a little envious that the other person can have such pure love.

If the Greek gods and heroes weren't so disgusting, with hardly any reliable ones, who would want to be the Iron Maiden forever?!

Chapter 48: To be handsome, strong, courageous, and knowledgeable in the arts—what truly defines an "Iron Virgin"?

It's not that I'm not interested, it's that I'm afraid of them all...

Originally admiring his will and wanting to recruit such an excellent warrior, the goddess incarnation realized after seeing this that it was impossible for Chu Ye to be recruited.

How enviable!

Reality isn't like gacha games where you can draw countless times until you get a UR card.

Artemis—

A rainbow-colored hero...! What is this?

Is it really possible to get a wild UR character in a single pull?!

Athena, one of the three goddesses of wisdom and war, who also resembles Sasha from the Hades myth, but unlike herself in the other world, is protected by many strong individuals, is now in a very complicated mood.

She had to admit that she felt a little jealous.

This Athena doesn't have the ambiguous relationship with Pegasus. Although she's also a virgin goddess, she didn't receive a vow of eternal purity from Zeus like Artemis did.

This resulted in them being constantly harassed by their respective male idols.

He always felt that he liked his uncle Poseidon, or the narcissistic god of fire Hephaestus.

Look at his ugly appearance! Even a mortal woman wouldn't fall in love with such a god of fire. If Aphrodite hadn't offended Hera, she wouldn't have been forced to marry the ugly god of fire and forge, Hephaestus.

Why should she struggle so hard to defend her purity, while Artemis is carefree and gains such a young and handsome hero who is loyal to her love?

Listen to this—

People of the rainbow!

Compared to Artemis, all her suitors seemed like trash.

She wanted to rape her uncle Poseidon, and she wanted to rape her brother Hephaestus.

If she didn't still possess some power, she would have long since fallen into the same fate as those goddesses forced into marriage by her father Zeus...

The goddess, in her owl form, had a slight glint in her eyes—and felt that she would probably never meet her rainbow-colored soulmate in this lifetime.

However, in mythology, Athena has actually been paired with Prometheus and Apollo in various versions.

Sometimes myths shouldn't be believed, but sometimes, since there are legends, those legends may become reality.

This is fate!

The concept of fate is difficult to break in many mythological systems.

Therefore, in many universes, some goddesses do have romantic partners.

If Athena in this world were to actually end up with someone, although there are no real couple records in mythology, it can be roughly inferred that she would prefer someone intelligent and handsome.

Examples include Prometheus, a wise man who possessed a vast knowledge, and Apollo, the god of the arts, who was proficient in music and various other talents.

Talent is also a manifestation of wisdom.

To put it in very simple terms in the real world—you need talent, broad knowledge, and good looks!

It can be said that Athena's aesthetic view of men is very much in line with the aesthetic view of most normal people.

Considering that she admires strong warriors and protects courageous people, strong and courageous people must be a plus in her eyes.

I want someone who is strong, courageous, intelligent, talented, and good-looking.

Although each condition alone is not too difficult, when all of them are put together, they seem to be much more difficult than winning over Artemis.

Apollo left—with extreme displeasure, feeling that the relationship between Night and Artemis was not as simple as Night had made it out to be.

Is it really just because of a flower crown that Artemis could become like that?

He frowned slightly, but ultimately remained calm and elegant, transforming into a beam of light and departing.

never mind--

For the time being, he had no evidence to prove anything, and apart from Artemis, Apollo did not discuss any issues related to Troy or Greece with her.

The Trojan War is currently very tense.

The battlefield is a place that the gods often pay attention to.

He could not linger here, nor could he discuss how he planned to thwart the Greek army's schemes.

If the gods find out, especially Zeus, the great god, overhears—he will be absolutely furious, and the undercover plan will be completely useless.

After Apollo left, Night went to bed to rest.

He opened the window to let the moonlight shine on him, allowing him to recover his strength and heal his hidden injuries, not wasting a single moment of time to become stronger.

Ye felt a sense of urgency, wondering how much longer he could remain undercover in the Greek military camp.

So—let's set two goals first.

First—find the place where Bryce is imprisoned and look for an opportunity to rescue him.

Second—kill a few Greek heroes to weaken the Greek forces.

Diomedes is a big shot, but it's not a good time to act now. The battle during the day has attracted a lot of attention, and if Diomedes dies now, everyone's suspicions will fall on him.

Moreover, Ye strongly suspects that Athena may have already started paying attention to him, thinking about how to kill him to avenge her family.

She was a goddess with a nice personality, but that was in normal times.

She was also a petty goddess. In mythology, Medusa angered Athena because Poseidon raped her in Athena's temple. However, Poseidon was unharmed, but Medusa was beheaded by Perseus at his command and her head was embedded in her shield.

Having nearly killed Diomedes, he had incurred Athena's wrath.

never mind--

Anyway, having a lot of debt doesn't matter, especially since they are gods from opposing camps.

Completely unaware that Athena was not only not thinking about how to get back at him, but was also turning into an owl to spy on and observe him, Ye felt that his situation was extremely dangerous.

He needs to eliminate a few members of this dangerous Greek camp before he can sleep soundly.

Soon, Ye came up with a goal.

The timing is perfect.

He needed an accomplice, at least to prevent his target's death from being directly linked to him.

So--

'It's you I choose! You wicked Seuss!!'

And so, a very sweet night passed. As the silver-haired, handsome boy, as beautiful as a daffodil, fell into quiet breathing, the moonlight seemed to brighten under the gentle influence of a goddess, accelerating the night's recovery.

When he woke up the next day, the sun's blessing began to take effect again. Although Apollo had left with a sour face the night before, he still generously used his divine power to help the night become stronger during the day.

Night slowly opened her deep, star-like eyes, feeling refreshed.

The early morning is the best time to plan for the day. As the morning sunlight filters through the window and dapples the room, you can hear birds chirping outside.

Feeling something amiss, he got up, washed up, and took out his harp.

Later--

The melodious sound of a harp drifted from the Greek camp.

Chapter 49: Two People Awaken Hope, and Vibrant Life Flourishes Here!

Odysseus was in a terrible mood—

Because of yesterday's events, his messenger was beheaded by Agamemnon, and was later privately summoned by Agamemnon and punished.

Because of his incompetence in handling the matter and failing to clearly explain the existence of the divine deer, Agamemnon wanted to obtain the money and soldiers that had been paid as compensation to the Night from Odysseus.

Odysseus naturally disagreed. He argued his case with great eloquence, but in the end, Agamemnon ordered him to pay half of the compensation.

Originally intending to trick Agamemnon, Odysseus ended up tricking himself instead. In addition, the thought of riding the divine deer at night and his ambiguous relationship with the goddess made Odysseus turn green with envy.

Among the many heroes, he may not be the most handsome (myth says he had an ordinary appearance), but he was extremely favored by the gods.
