Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Diomedes was so enraged that he felt even Ares, the god of war, was standing in front of him. His unbearable inner turmoil could unleash boundless power to help him tear this hateful man apart.

Completely unaware of how many people he had offended with his words, Patroclus, who had already placed himself in the eye of the storm, continued speaking as he had been taught before the night: "Even our wise man Odysseus once said that Palamedes is the most knowledgeable among us, and his brilliant mind can perfectly handle all kinds of situations."

I believe he can perfectly portray the image of Achilles.

All we need is for Achilles to appear on the battlefield and ride in his chariot, and he will bring endless courage and morale to the soldiers.

He doesn't need to fight.

In that case—with Palamedes's power, he is more than capable of perfectly impersonating Achilles.

Patcross then articulated all his thoughts in one go, logically and persuasively.

Even the old man Nestor, the sage who had previously encouraged Patcross to ask for equipment, felt like he was getting to know this naive and innocent girl all over again.

These are still the words of that completely self-aware idiot, Pat Cross, who is only fit to be used as a pawn.

He actually has such a common opinion.

Nestor frowned—it seemed that having Palamedes come wasn't entirely out of the question.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Diomedes trembled for the second time!

???

Odysseus, what's wrong with you? This has to do with you?

And even Odysseus himself was a bit confused, let alone Diomedes. Did I say such a thing?

It seems so—someone seemed to have said something similar at a banquet a few days ago.

But for this reason you chose Palamedes?

Odysseus's expression was also quite interesting at this moment. After realizing where he had lost, the feeling of frustration that made him want to vomit blood intensified.

He felt incredibly depressed and deeply regretful.

According to Patcross's current explanation, isn't he simply supporting the selection of intelligent, quick-witted individuals to impersonate Achilles?

'If Palamedes hadn't been chosen, I would have been.' Once this thought was born, it wouldn't leave my mind.

Odysseus even ignored Diomedes's angry and oppressive gaze.

He was completely lost in thought, as if he had lost his soul—a demonic thought was growing in his mind, constantly repeating—if there were no Palamedes!!

No one noticed that Odysseus was acting strangely at this moment.

Even when Diomedes was in a fit of anger, he had no patience to observe so much.

Only at night, after noticing Odysseus's current appearance.

I silently repeated the word 'nine years' in my mind.

That was the resentment Odysseus harbored for nine years before finally deciding to take action against Palamedes, according to the original myth.

The longer the war goes on, the more likely his son will be grown up and old enough to run errands. As a father, he should be enjoying the happiness of being with his son and raising him to become an outstanding hero. But because Palamedes came to this battlefield, the war has lasted for nine years and is still not over.

At that time, the pain and guilt of not being able to be by the side of his newlywed wife and son when they needed him most would all turn into hatred for Palamedes.

This caused Odysseus, who initially managed to restrain himself and only wanted to end the war as soon as possible to return home, to embark on a path of no return, becoming so ruthless that he was practically insane, even wanting to take action against his comrades with whom he had worked for nine years.

Night has reason to believe that Odysseus's resentment, which would have taken nine years to accumulate to its peak, has probably reached its peak in an infinitely shorter time because of what just happened.

And what he needs to do is perhaps give it a push from behind.

Ouch! Thinking like that, I'm such a bad person.

However, you must never be soft-hearted towards your enemies. This ruthlessness is something you taught me personally through your own experiences in mythology.

For a moment, I felt pity for Odysseus and Palamedes.

But not many!

Now that we've identified them as enemies, we can do whatever we want to them.

then--

Finally, an incredibly dramatic scene unfolded.

In the presence of Agamemnon and countless heroes, Palamedes donned the armor that had been taken from Patroclus.

However, there were no weapons.

Patroclus stated that Palamedes was simply not strong enough to lift the divine spear.

However, he made no mention of the embarrassing incident where he had overestimated himself and tried to use the sharpshooter, only to drop it on the ground.

Palamedes didn't care that he failed to obtain the spear.

He never intended to fight. According to what he had said before, he only needed to show his face on the battlefield and ride around in his chariot a couple of times, right? He wouldn't engage in direct combat.

(Night: That's right, that's right, but once you get to the battlefield, you won't have that option anymore!)

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Agamemnon's Future: Griffith, save me! My hero!

Agamemnon: "Then that's settled..."

Let's continue with the issue of Plan One.

I have already sent the invitation to the duel to Troy, and they have accepted.

Under the witness of our great Father Zeus and all the gods, the sacred duel will begin tomorrow afternoon!

All heroes must be present this time!

"All of them?!" the heroes exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right! Odysseus and Griffith, you're going too."

Troy agreed to the duel invitation, but demanded a three-match format!

The winner will win Helen, the most beautiful woman in all of Greece…

When Agamemnon finished speaking, a tremor ran through the crowd.

The original one-on-one duel between Paris and the King of Sparta eventually became a team system.

Wait a minute, the hero Odysseus discovered a flaw in Agamemnon's words.

Achilles' armor problem—this sad matter is an irretrievable past. Rather than dwelling on it, it's better to move on—

Now Odysseus noticed something else that was very attractive to men.

In Greece—

There are only a few things that can always attract heroes.

Artifacts, wealth, glory—and of course, a beautiful woman!

Odysseus asked, "Not specifically Paris, nor Menelaus (the aggrieved party), but the victor?"

King Agamemnon—I think this is a question that must be clarified.

Agamemnon: "This is the will of the gods—our duel has been promised and approved by the gods, who are willing to be witnesses."

However, to make the duel more challenging, the battle was changed to each side sending out three heroes.

The hero with the most wins will be the victor, and as their spoils, they have the right to do with them as they see fit.

At this point, Agamemnon was slightly tempted and did not force the heroes to return the spoils of war to their original owners—his own brother, the King of Sparta.

Or rather—no man could resist being attracted to Helen.

When Helen grew up, many young and handsome princes and heroes tried to marry her, but were rejected and almost came to blows. In the end, it was her younger brother who won the marriage.

King Agamemnon also had his own idea: all the spoils of war obtained by the heroes on this battlefield should be shared with him.

He is the king of all heroes! Just as he was with Brices last time, he is no exception this time.

Meanwhile, after hearing Agamemnon's words, Odysseus and the other heroes all had a gleam of wolfish, green light in their eyes.

The aggrieved King of Sparta suddenly felt that he was being cuckolded.

His face was very ugly—the spoils of war were naturally Helen, and given the nature of these heroes, if they really got the spoils, they would return them to their rightful owner.

Meanwhile, Ye, who remained outwardly calm after listening to the entire story, was inwardly exclaiming – Brilliant!!

The gods said it was to add a challenge, which clearly meant they were intrigued and wanted to increase the fun. They were probably afraid that the Greeks and Troy wouldn't fight to the death!

This is hardly the act of a well-intentioned notary; it's as if the words "ill-intentioned" and "amusing" are written all over their face.

A bunch of scumbags!

If I remember correctly, Helena was the daughter of the great god Zeus.

She was a demigod born from Zeus's affair with the queen of the human kingdom.

The gods dared to make such a promise, which must have been approved by Zeus.

Is it human to treat one's own daughter as a trophy and send her around like that?

What a beast!

But the thought of Zeus marrying his daughter to Hades, and then transforming into Hades's likeness to seduce Persephone, is unbearable.

Zeus, the omnipotent god in mythology who is touted as all-powerful, was probably a cuckold and promiscuous person.

Zeus was the chief god who orchestrated all of this from behind the scenes.

Considering that several gods descended to earth disguised themselves as human heroes during this war, Zeus might even personally transform into one of these heroes to stage a repeat of the chaotic underworld drama. Do you think he would do that? — I believe it!

Afterwards, Agamemnon required all heroes to go and cheer, which was also the request of the gods, so that every hero would have the opportunity to participate.

Night remained noncommittal on this matter.

We had no choice but to adapt our plans to the changing circumstances.

Although the original plan to stay at the camp to search for Brises and Achilles was affected.

But Achilles had already found and even convinced himself.

That leaves only the problem of Brisses.

The presence of that messenger earlier also led Ye to further speculate about where Brices might be imprisoned.

He then has enough time to verify.
