Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

They understood the meaning behind the night's words.

But it's precisely because I understood it that it's so hard to believe—

Briceth hurriedly pressed, "You...do you intend to forcibly peel the armor off your skin? Ah! That would be far too—"

That's too cruel to yourself!

Briceth couldn't bear to say anything more.

Athena: "...! You don't have to go to this extent. Although you are able to achieve such a high degree of compatibility with the artifact, you have only just mastered this power and it has been too short a time."

After a few years, once you have fully mastered and experienced this power, you will be able to remove the armor at will!

Forcibly peeling it off now will damage your body, leaving it bloody and mangled!

With the endorsement of the goddess of wisdom—!

Everyone present naturally chose to believe this.

Achilles quickly chimed in, "Hey, hey...! No need, no need. Athena already said so, didn't she?"

Once you've mastered this power, you can detach yourself from it proactively. Don't act impulsively!

Even though he was the original owner of this armor, he wasn't cruel enough to watch Ye, who was an ally, friend, and also a formidable enemy he had come to acknowledge, strip away the artifact at this crucial moment of their escape.

That would not only weaken the night, but the method would also be too cruel.

but--

It's tempting to preserve this magical artifact.

Even though the Night itself already possesses the concept of a divine artifact, with double the bonus, who wouldn't be tempted?

However—for true friends, like Achilles who, out of concern for Night's health, chose to ignore the fact that the armor had become one with him and gave half of it to Night.

If Achilles could do it, then he could do it too...

This recognition, like a response, is mutual.

A true strong person will not be discouraged by losing one or two pieces of equipment.

They too possess their own pride and confidence, and will eventually grow strong enough, through sheer physical strength, to one day defeat the world single-handedly. Then—

So-called equipment is nothing more than useless decorations.

A tiny improvement is completely insignificant.

He disdained to use such means to steal Achilles' armor.

Not to mention--

Night thought of another possibility.

He didn't forget that they were still in a simulated universe.

Therefore, his main task remains to create enough achievements and legends to be passed down to future generations, the greater the influence the better.

The best course of action would be to do something extraordinary.

certainly--

Although running naked through all of Greece would certainly have a terrifying impact and leave a lasting impression on posterity, Ye wouldn't dare to accept such a shameful legend—even if it could materialize into a super-powerful ability at the end of the story.

Now that we've embarked on the path of creating the 'hero Griffith,' let's further refine Griffith's kind and selfless character.

The lone hero harbored a heart full of love that could treat all of Greece and all of humanity equally.

Treat everyone equally—whether human or divine...

Whether it's good or evil, everyone has their own understanding of it.

Achilles, who might be questioned by the god of war in the future for letting him go unscathed without achieving any effective results, is now facing a potential confrontation with the god of war.

Although Achilles, given his background, doesn't need to worry about being held accountable by the God of War.

but--

(I don't need you to worry about me, I just need to know that I'm 'worried'!)

Night will still return this armor, which may become covered in blood.

This was a sudden idea that came to Ye—it could kill two birds with one stone, satisfying his desire to increase his legendary status while also helping Achilles.

He only needs one set of the concept of the divine armor; he can return the other set, and it might return in another form.

Let's take a gamble!

Similar stories exist in many mythologies.

Karna, the son of the sun god in Hindu mythology, was a hero who gave alms and never refused anyone's requests or begging...

Before the battle with his divinely ordained hero, Arjuna.

They encountered Indra, the thunder god, who had disguised himself as a beggar to demand his armor, fearing that his son Arjuna would fail.

Even though he saw through the fact that the beggar, who was actually Indra in disguise, was asking him for the golden armor that had become one with his body, the golden hero still gladly agreed to give it to him.

That noble soul that kept its vow, that posture of unity of body and mind that conveyed kindness—

Karna tore his armor apart.

That noble spirit moved Indra, who had been deliberately scheming against the other party, to the point of shame and guilt. In exchange, Indra gave the other party his divine spear.

This has become a heroic tale that has endured through the ages and is widely sung.

I remember cosplaying Siegfried, the dragon-slaying hero, before, and now I'm going to recreate the classic scene of giving alms to a hero.

(Night felt that she could single-handedly fight a Holy Grail War in two roles.)

If we also consider other mythological identities that might exist in the future, seven classes might not even be enough for him in a single Holy Grail War.

And he is protected by the God of Light.

In the future, when he arrived in Rome, he would be called Apollo, the sun god. In a rounding-off manner, he, like Karna, also had an attribute connection with the sun.

Who knows, when future generations study mythology, they might consider these two to be the same person. If the legends are similar enough, they might even be able to deduce something like Indra's divine spear? (laughing emoji)

It's definitely a lie to say that Indra's spear is something he doesn't like or crave.

Of course—even if you know the chances are slim, can't you still think about it?

After all—as everyone knows—almost all the famous heroes and gods have some kind of pseudonym in other pantheons.

Just like Hercules, Heracles, Veleslana, Bahram, Mithras, Hercules, and even Indra, these gods are incredibly powerful within their respective pantheons and are also connected.

They serve as prototypes for each other in other mythological systems.

As for who copied whose myth, it's been too long ago, and it's difficult to say for sure if we really want to investigate.

And now night has come—

Great, your stories are all very useful, now they're mine!

Having a ready-made template of successful heroes who can leave a classic mark on future generations, if he still doesn't know how to leave a strong mark on mythology, then he is too slow-witted.

then……

Night looked at Achilles, preparing to give him a little shock, like that of the son of the sun god.

Chapter 129 Wait for the utter defeat that will fall upon you in the future!

“Achilles—I will return to you this armor that is now part of your flesh and blood; take it and face the god of war.”

Even Ares was speechless. And you, now clad in your armor once more, are the strongest, swiftest Achilles—when we meet again on the battlefield, I will once again lash out with the whip of utter defeat upon you in your prime!!

Loudly at night—

Then, facing the dappled sunlight filtering through the forest, and amidst the shocked and moved gazes of the three, he gripped the tip of Achilles' spear, which also possessed piercing properties, and plunged it fiercely into the edge of the magma-like skin that shimmered within.

Blood and flesh were torn apart, and then Night began to tear through the armor directly from the opened mouth.

This scene, which seemed shocking and painful to anyone, was only slightly frowned upon by Ye, who then calmly continued his actions.

Achilles and others: ! ! !

have to say--

The story of a hero who bestows charity and has his armor stripped off with flesh and blood is a scene that, no matter when or where it is placed, even in mythological systems with completely different human civilizations, social structures, and customs, remains quite explosive and incredibly fashionable in the Greek world.

It's a bit of a pity for Lingye—

If this were done in full view of the public, witnessed by countless heroes and gods, the level of fashion would probably rise two or three levels even higher.

But such an opportunity—to be shown up in front of all of Greece—is not easy to come by.

Although it's possible to pull such a stunt when you meet on the battlefield.

But it's a bit too deliberate—it doesn't fit his persona.

Any act of showing off, if it cannot be done subtly and naturally at the most appropriate time, will appear very deliberate and childish, and may even cause embarrassment.

Just like Aizen from the Bleach world next door, every line he says is a classic.

It looks cool in those grand battles, but what if it's two kids holding wooden Zanpakuto and shouting things like, "Now I stand in the sky"?

That was a scene that even years later, when children grow up, they can look back on as a dark chapter in their lives.

For example, "With a single thought, a flower blooms, and I reign supreme over the world; at the end of the immortal path, who stands at the peak? All the heavens and myriad realms are beneath my feet; I am the Heavenly Emperor, and I shall suppress all enemies!"

The two great emperors fought to the very edge of the universe, and even the Great Dao was obliterated!

In the end, all of the above descriptions are just two elementary school students fighting. At that time, even the most domineering lines will seem incredibly absurd and ridiculous, making people feel comical.

Back to the topic——

The reasons are sufficient and the actions are reasonable!

After saying that that night, he actually began to peel off the armor from his skin.

Fresh blood flowed slowly down, adorning his strong limbs, chest muscles, and abdominal muscles in a beautiful yet tragic way!

That scene perfectly illustrated a proud person who disdains taking advantage of others, and who would only frown at the mere thought of losing a powerful artifact, even if it meant bleeding to the point of a bloody mess, or losing a friend's safety.

The already impactful visuals, combined with Ye's powerful mental strength and willpower in controlling the pain and suffering, reveal her resilience.

His noble spirit and soul, combined with his strong willpower, created a powerful impact on everyone present.

Brice covered her mouth with both hands, tears welling up in her eyes—the sight of her in such pain was enough to overwhelm even a woman with such strong empathy and compassion.
