Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

To be talented, handsome, courageous, capable, and knowledgeable—these are the standards that most attract Athena.

Now Athena sees in Night powerful musical talent, courage, and a certain level of strength. His handsome appearance even captivates the discerning god Apollo. It can be said that apart from his extensive knowledge, although his strength is not bad, it is still not enough compared to that of the gods.

If Ye were a single, virtuous, and handsome man, Athena might already be smitten.

However, her curiosity about the night is still gradually increasing. At first, she wanted to avenge Diomedes and punish him, but through her observation, her desire has gradually faded and she is almost forgetting it.

Diomedes, unaware that he had been forgotten by his own god, would have cried himself to death if he knew the truth.

Soon, the butterfly effect caused by Night's defeat of Diomedes began to ferment and take shape.

At noon, the Trojan army launched a surprise attack on the Greek camp. The reason was that Apollo, who was in a good mood after listening to the song that morning, secretly went to deliver an oracle to Hector, telling him that Diomedes, the elite fighter in the allied forces, was seriously injured and could not exert much combat power.

Apollo, who was only clear about which side he would stand on later in the story, seems to have sided with Troy ahead of time this time because of his sister and Night.

then--

Things have changed!

The original historical turning point suddenly began to change beyond recognition.

Chapter 51 The old bastard's bastard, the cheater's cheater, it's time to interrupt the spell!

When the Trojan army swept in, it launched a general offensive against the Greek coalition.

By the time the Greeks realized what was happening, both sides, after a day of fighting, had retreated and entered into a new standoff.

Because of the loss of Diomedes, a top-tier fighter, the Greek army, already weakened by the absence of Achilles and the added challenge of facing the Amazon queen, suffered a severe blow on the battlefield.

Several kings were wounded in this war, and Toas, who had been chatting with the night, was seriously injured and almost didn't get to see the moon goddess in his dream.

Menelaus, the Spartan king, was nearly killed by an arrow from the enemy hero, the archer Pandaros.

If Athena hadn't secretly protected Menelaus's body, ensuring the arrows only pierced his skin without harming his flesh, this unfortunate man would have perished in the war.

At the crucial moment, Ajax the Great stepped forward to block Hector, buying some time for Greece.

The famous scene of Hector unleashing his full power but still failing to pierce the Shield of Ajax was reenacted on the battlefield once again.

When the war ended, the Trojans were finally driven back.

Agamemnon immediately convened a war council, and all the heroes were required to attend, including Odysseus and Night, who were responsible for logistics, and came to the camp.

Just then, Ye entered the camp and saw Agamemnon in a fit of rage...

He angrily denounced the Trojans for their despicable and shameless behavior, as well as the incompetence of the many heroes present.

"Even with all the heroes of Greece gathered together, not one of them could match Hector."

"You are utterly disgracing your heroic reputation... good-for-nothings, a bunch of good-for-nothings!" Agamemnon rebuked coldly, and at the same time, he suddenly smashed a wine glass on the ground, and red wine was splattered all over the carpet like blood.

The filthy appearance made the heroes below look extremely unpleasant.

Although Odysseus and other heroes didn't say anything, they were also burning with anger inside.

You, Agamemnon, are so great, why don't you go and fight Hector one-on-one? You still couldn't beat that man.

The wise Nestor calmly advised, "Agamemnon... now is not the time to lose your temper."

If you can bring Achilles back, Hector will be no threat.

As soon as the old man spoke, the furious Agamemnon fell silent. He remained silent for a moment, then sat back down on his throne with a livid face.

Humph! !! !!

Agamemnon snorted coldly and remained silent.

Find Achilles?!

Isn't that just asking him, the king of kings, to bow down to him?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

A mere prince from a small kingdom dares to try and steal my woman.

The proud and arrogant King of Mycenae would never allow himself to bow down to his rival.

Agamemnon also noticed that many heroes had a restless look on their faces, as if they all hoped that the invincible Achilles would return.

Ironically, the more this happened, the more Agamemnon loathed Achilles.

Achilles, as a subject, disobeyed his king, yet these subjects didn't think about how to get Achilles to admit his mistake, but rather about making the king bow his head and beg for forgiveness.

At this point, Ajax the Great couldn't help but plead for his cousin Achilles.

After that, several heroes who got along well with Achilles pleaded for his return, hoping that Agamemnon could bring him back.

In the end, almost all the heroes spoke up for Achilles.

Even those who were not familiar with Achilles had witnessed his prowess on the battlefield, and they also believed that his combat strength would be indispensable in the subsequent battles.

...Only the night remained still, doing nothing.

Upon his arrival, he was like a ghost; even if he didn't say anything, no one paid attention. As a newcomer, he was probably not even familiar with the Greek 'heroes' on the surface.

Naturally, he wouldn't speak rashly.

Night also uses this opportunity to observe the relationships between each hero.

However, Nestor, the only elder who hadn't appeared at the banquet to welcome Night, suddenly spoke up, his words directly addressing Night: "Lord Griffith, what are your thoughts?"

Everyone is hoping for Achilles' return, but you alone remain silent.

I suppose he has a better way of solving the current problem.

Nestor's words immediately drew everyone's attention, and they all turned to look at Ye.

Regarding the abilities of this newly joined hero, although it's said he defeated Diomedes, it seems he himself wasn't doing well at the time, and we haven't witnessed the detailed battle. Many heroes don't comment on his combat strength, but we're also curious about his thoughts.

Night glanced at Nestor, whose face was expressionless, but Night's powerful perception still allowed him to sense a deep-seated malice.

He frowned slightly—

When did I ever offend this old man?

Nestor's words instantly exposed the previously invisible Night to everyone's gaze. If he couldn't explain himself, he would inevitably incur the wrath of the pro-Achilles faction.

Just because he didn't speak up for Achilles?

No, it's not that simple; there's something deeper involved.

Thinking about Nestor's identity and past experiences, Ye seemed to understand something.

This sage, who had been dedicated to getting Achilles back into the Greek army, felt dissatisfied that he was the only one not speaking up for Achilles. Perhaps this dissatisfaction stemmed from his dislike of Achilles himself.

Because he was introduced by Telephus, a descendant of Hercules, and Hercules killed his entire family when he was young, he was implicated by Telephus.

Even Ye suspected that the old man, even if he didn't instigate the Greek coalition's attack on Telefos, must have been happy to see it happen.

As Hercules's enemy, Nestor might not know the location of his enemy's country, even if others did.

But he said nothing until Telephus was driven to the capital and nearly killed. If Achilles and Telephus hadn't recognized each other and revealed their identities, they would have realized it was a misunderstanding.

Then Telephus might really have been destroyed.

Could this old man not recognize whose son Telefos was? He probably had plenty of ideas at the time to use a mistake as a pretext to kill the descendant of Hercules.

Another cunning old bastard.

Troy's offensive is now massive, and their top heroes far surpass those of Greece. Apart from recalling Achilles, they have virtually no other options. If he can't come up with a reasonable explanation...

Not only would it embarrass him, but it would also put pressure on Agamemnon, highlighting Achilles's necessity and forcing him to bring Achilles back ahead of schedule.

Killing two birds with one stone! Brilliant!

But of course, the night couldn't allow this old man's plan to succeed.

Achilles was his intended new ally in Troy; how could he possibly watch you bring him back?

Previously, due to the issue of Brises, the ten-year-long war of division had skipped directly to the point where Achilles and Agamemnon turned against each other. Without Achilles, Greece could no longer wage a protracted war; as the besieging side, it was now being attacked on its own doorstep.

Now, because of Diomedes' serious injury, Troy seized the opportunity to strike while the enemy was down, pushing Greece into a desperate situation ahead of time.

If Night Remembers is correct, it was after Greece was pressured too much by Troy that Athena intervened and granted Diomedes her protection.

Thus began Diomedes' ruthless life! If Achilles had returned prematurely at this point...

Chapter Fifty-Two: Heroes in Flames, Is a Bloodbath About to Begin?!

While Ye was lost in thought, the outside world was only in the blink of an eye.

Everyone was waiting for Ye's reply.

Agamemnon then looked at the night. If the fact that he had been tricked by the other party before, coupled with the fact that the other party had arrived riding a divine deer, made Agamemnon's face look as if he had eaten shit.

So now he has such a good impression of Ye that he hopes she can say something different.

As long as it wasn't someone who encouraged him to apologize to Achilles, Agamemnon was prepared to strongly support whatever Night said.

then--

Under the watchful eyes of countless heroes.

As Greece's biggest double agent, Ye didn't want to be so high-profile after his previous camp raid.

However, when it came time to perform, he was not at all hesitant.

He calmly said, "I have no problem with Achilles."

Even my own talents and abilities are somewhat similar to his; I have long admired that hero.

However, I have never met His Excellency Achilles, so I cannot offer any comment.

You can decide for yourselves…

Night first removes himself from the impression of being hostile to Achilles from the eyes of many heroes.

Since he had said that, the other heroes nodded in understanding.

It is said that Night himself possesses a talent similar to Achilles.

Odysseus and the others immediately thought of the immortal steel body that had been displayed day and night, as well as the skill of the Meteor Spear.

Because they were too busy before, they never had a chance to ask each other what was going on.

In short, the night itself is very mysterious in their eyes.

They already suspected he might have some connection with Achilles, but the other party just denied it, which immediately became another mystery in the minds of Odysseus and the others.
