Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

The withdrawn persona she once had is nowhere to be found.

Greed and excitement filled everyone's faces.

Because of a single sentence in the night—

The heroes of the Greek camp nearly came to blows, their expressions now thick with tension as they glared hostilely at the heroes they considered strong competitors.

Even Odysseus, the wise man, was no exception.

No one can resist the allure of a divine artifact.

Even the wise can be blinded by greed.

Just as in the original future, after Achilles' death, the heroes fought each other while his body was still warm, all for the sake of inheriting his equipment.

Having the right to rightfully inherit a divine artifact is something no one could resist.

Even Agamemnon was very tempted and began to gloat.

Even if he ultimately doesn't end up with this divine artifact, as the supreme commander, he's unlikely to be tasked with leading the charge in battle.

But if Agamemnon could really make Achilles lose a set of artifacts, he would be quite pleased.

The loss of a love rival is always a pleasant experience.

In an instant, a sinister thought flashed through the mind of the petty Mycenaean king.

He is willing to gain no benefit, or even deliberately suffer losses, in order to make this plan succeed.

He wanted to use this method to tell Achilles that even without him, he would never have lost the Trojan War.

The coalition won't be able to function without you, Achilles.

Agamemnon: "Then, please raise your hand if you agree with either of these plans!"

When Agamemnon shouted for silence and began allowing all the heroes to vote on the decision to honor him, almost everyone voted in favor.

Only Ye's opinion, as the proposer, will not be considered.

Even the experienced elder and wise Nestor couldn't see anything wrong with the plan.

Perhaps the only loophole is that even the Spartan king, who was the victim, couldn't defeat Paris, a mere nobody.

After all, in the mythological description, the Spartan king was physically superior, and his appearance alone was enough to frighten Paris, making Paris timid and unwilling to fight. However, Hector scolded him for being hopeless and pushed him out.

Unexpectedly, the king of Sparta, who was supposed to be a formidable warrior, turned out to be just a Westerner.

The spearmen fought the archers, but couldn't take down Paris in close combat. They threw their spears and switched to longswords, but the result was even worse. They ended up breaking their own weapons into pieces halfway through the fight.

They finally managed to capture Paris, only to have him switched with and rescued by the goddess Aphrodite.

Therefore, Ye was not worried about Paris's safety at all.

Such a fair duel meant that even if Hector later learned that the scheme was his doing, he wouldn't find anything wrong with it.

Even if Paris truly died in battle, it was his own fault; he was the one who brought this trouble upon himself. If he had been killed in a sacred duel witnessed by the gods and numerous kings, even Hector would not have avenged him.

Night actually disliked Paris quite a bit—dying in a duel like that, for a scumbag like him, might be a decent end, a glorious death.

However, with gods secretly protecting them, they wouldn't let Paris, the originator of the war, die so easily.

Just like Agamemnon, who was also well protected.

Back in reality, Agamemnon and the heroes are once again arguing about who should wear Achilles' armor.

It seems no one bothered to ask Achilles himself whether he was actually willing to lend it.

Odysseus suggested that the wisest person should wear the armor.

Intelligent people understand how to maximize their effectiveness without revealing their true intentions. After all, their purpose is to impersonate Achilles to boost the morale of their own troops while intimidating the enemy, not to actually engage in a large-scale battle.

He practically pointed at his own nose and said it—

That's right, the wisest hero is none other than Odysseus!

Everyone knows I am the wisest of all the Greek heroes. While other heroes in legends are all about taking action, I often solve problems with my brain.

But his words were quickly refuted by the other heroes.

Especially powerful beings like Diomedes—

It is said that since it is a disguise, if one's combat strength is not strong enough, one cannot fake Achilles' aura at all.

It is clearly impossible for a demigod hero to simply appear on the battlefield without fighting.

However, if one fails to demonstrate combat prowess (basic skills) commensurate with a demigod once the battle begins, it will be easy to be exposed.

Therefore, the armor should be inherited by a hero of greater strength! Diomedes: That's right, Achilles is gone, and I am the strongest one here!

Chapter 54 Night: Fight! Fight! The Sage: He wants to usurp the throne?

When it comes to sheer power, Diomedes, Ajax the Great, and others were fierce rivals, each refusing to yield to the other.

Odysseus, on the other hand, turned pale!

Does that mean he's weak and can't unleash the full power of the armor?

Who is being implied here?

Night retreated into the background, having won fame both before and after his death, and stood aside as a spectator, silently watching the Greek heroes become so envious they were about to fight each other to the death.

Let's fight!

Fight! The fiercer you fight, the better it will be for Troy.

Ye was delighted to see this scene, but he also felt a little regretful, as he felt that he hadn't even exerted his full strength yet, and how had all these people fallen in?

In reality, he didn't do anything.

However, these heroes themselves had questionable character.

If they could unite, trust and tolerate each other, Troy would be out of the picture.

Even King Toas and others got involved, shamelessly claiming, without understanding their own capabilities, that they were the wisest and most powerful heroes who could inherit Achilles' equipment.

night:"………………"

Achilles isn't dead yet.

The plan was based on the premise that Achilles was willing to lend the equipment, rather than give it away.

How come it's all been turned into 'inheritance' in your mouths?

Sima Zhao's intentions are as clear as day.

The argument escalated to the point where Agamemnon finally snapped and yelled, "Enough!"

Agamemnon said that since neither of them would submit to the other, they might as well fight each other.

Whoever emerges victorious will be entitled to inherit the armor of Achilles.

When I heard that even Agamemnon subconsciously said 'inheritance'.

Ye's eyelids twitched; a single sentence couldn't adequately describe the profound implications of what she was witnessing.

Never mind—it's none of my business!

Ye only wanted this group to move out of the base camp as soon as possible so he could start raiding their base.

But Nestor noticed the unusual nature of the night at that moment.

Many heroes were arguing heatedly over Achilles' armor, but Night seemed completely uninterested.

He didn't doubt Ye's identity, but he felt that something was wrong.

Is there any hero in this world who wouldn't be tempted by such powerful equipment?

The more indifferent to fame and fortune and the more sacred Griffith appeared, the more Nestor felt that he might harbor extremely large ambitions.

He didn't believe that saints truly existed in this world.

Even the gods have enormous desires.

The more powerful a being is, the more intense and vast its desires become.

As a hero, Griffith sought neither power, nor fame, nor powerful equipment...

However, is he really as uninterested in anything as he appears to be?

Or perhaps—

He harbors ambitions far greater and deeper than these simple things.

It is precisely because everything in front of him cannot satisfy his enormous appetite that he is able to maintain such a calm and composed demeanor.

What does he want?

It couldn't possibly be that he wanted to become the new King of Mycenae, could it? The thought sent a shiver down Nestor's spine.

Subconsciously, he wanted to remind Agamemnon that Griffith might be a dangerous man, not as simple as he seemed.

If they hadn't been pressured, they wouldn't have even known that the other party had such two great ideas.

Why didn't you say so before?!

Perhaps the other party really has grand ambitions, if they really do want the position under Agamemnon's backside.

In this age of gods, it's not entirely impossible.

In the mythological world, the kings of Mycenae were usually appointed directly by the gods.

The hero Atreus was like this, and so was Agamemnon.

If Agamemnon could achieve a brilliant victory in the Trojan War, in which almost all the heroes of Greece participated, and if Agamemnon himself performed poorly, or even died unexpectedly in the war, then if the gods chose a new Mycenaean king—

They will most likely choose the most dazzling hero.

Thinking of this, Nestor broke out in a cold sweat.

However, just as he slightly opened his mouth, he saw Agamemnon's ugly, gleeful smile, which he could no longer hide because he had outmaneuvered Achilles.

He glanced at the other side again, remaining calm throughout, perfectly detaching himself from the world and observing the situation from the sidelines.

Nestor recalled the infuriating behavior Agamemnon displayed when he had been trying to persuade Agamemnon to reconcile with Achilles.

Suddenly—Nestor was reluctant to tell Agamemnon his conjecture.

This good-for-nothing is a hopeless case. He spends his days indulging in a life of debauchery, surrounded by women, and is always jealous of capable men. How long can I really hold onto any hope for him?
