Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

That guy, who was all talk and no action but was still a hero-level fighter, was instantly killed.

Foleys was a chilling sensation.

At this moment, he was still unaware that the owl on Ye's body was the goddess Athena in disguise; otherwise, he would have been even more grateful that he was still alive...

No, maybe the moment they realized it was a goddess, they would faint from fright just thinking about it.

In summary—

Ares, God of War, you're such a jerk.

If Ares had merely mentioned Athena's existence, heroes like Ajax wouldn't have gotten so carried away.

However, there is no "however"...

Chapter 138 The Veteran Hero Who Inherited Hercules' Bow, the One Who Shot Paris

Holding a sun gun—!

After that, without any obstacles, the night continued its rapid journey.

Meanwhile, the pursuers who were chasing the footsteps of the night gradually learned the truth, either from Achilles or from Phenoxinus.

—We learned of the heroic deeds of the noble hero who shed his armor.

Out of this respect, many heroes ultimately chose to abandon their mission rather than take action against such a hero.

A small number also stopped chasing the night because they were afraid of the power of the terrible Sun Gun described by Phoenix.

It is unknown who secretly helped Ye, but the news eventually spread to the front as if it had grown wings.

Even many of the heroes who intercepted the night had already learned of all this.

Along the way, many heroes chose to ignore Night Queen or let her pass.

A few heroes, lacking common sense and trying to manipulate the night, all followed in the footsteps of the greedy Ajax, paying the price for their foolishness.

The wise (old man) Nestor's son Antilochus, oblivious to his own mortality, foolishly and inflexibly obeyed the god of war's command to block the path of night's advance. Kill!

The hero Telepolemus, a fugitive who killed his uncle and was being hunted by several of Heracles' sons, relied on his demigod powers and, with the arrogance of Ajax the Younger, pursued the night and killed!

Night also helped Telephus, the son of Hercules, who was far away on the coast of Mysia, to resolve a long-standing problem that had been troubling them.

After that, many unknown little heroes appeared one after another. Perhaps they wanted to make a name for themselves, or perhaps they wanted to take advantage of others. Some people lost their minds in the face of money and interests, and foolishly and blindly stepped onto the battlefield in order to please the God of War. They all lost their lives in the night.

They won a series of victories that night, and despite being on the run, they displayed an astonishing momentum. When the news reached the Greek camp, it shocked all the heroes who remained behind.

Wandering around in that 'severely injured' (low health) state, with a burden (Briss) in tow, he still managed to exude such invincible momentum.

Just how powerful is Griffith?

He's gotten even more amazing.

King Agamemnon was overjoyed when he heard this news.

He even excitedly exclaimed in his heart, "As expected of Griffith, even without Achilles' armor, he is still the most powerful hero in the world."

As for the heroes who died, he didn't care at all. They were all traitors who had sided with the God of War, and they didn't have any real skills. Griffith did a good job killing them!

These traitors and good-for-nothings should all be killed; keeping them around only causes them more trouble.

At this moment, he secretly wished that Ye would kill a few more of these guys who had been bribed by the God of War.

"Great! Good riddance! Kill! Kill! Kill them all!"

Anyway, these people don't obey his orders anymore, and Griffiths would find it difficult to truly gain the trust of the Trojans without killing some Greek heroes if he wanted to infiltrate their territory.

Not to mention that in such a race against time to escape, the most efficient and brutal method is to kill the pursuers and continue the escape.

These are all necessary sacrifices.

Even without Ye saying anything, King Agamemnon had already mentally provided a reasonable explanation for Ye's decisive actions on the battlefield.

King Agamemnon was even happier after learning that Nestor's son had also been killed. He had long been annoyed by this old man from the previous era who constantly gave him advice and acted like a senior figure.

Moreover, he had no respect for his Greek overlord. His purpose in participating in this war was always to win for Greece, not for Agamemnon. This made Agamemnon increasingly disgusted with this old man who had sided with the god of war.

It just so happens that his other brothers and sisters have all been killed by Hercules, and now his only son has also been killed by Hercules' friend. The whole family should be together!

When Nestor heard the news, even though he didn't know that King Agamemnon, the nominal king of all Greece, was secretly gloating, the shock of hearing the terrible news was enough to make Nestor faint instantly.

"Sudden blood rushes to the heart"—that's exactly what it means!

Nestor, already destitute from the loss of his father, brothers, and entire family, was subjected to the unimaginable pain of losing his son in his old age. The blow of a parent outliving their child is unimaginable.

Nestor, who served as the biggest lubricant for the Greek side and constantly smoothed out the conflicts between the various heroes, suddenly went offline, and it's unknown whether he will wake up after this fainting spell.

It's worth mentioning that when we didn't invite all the heroes back then, not only Brother Zhenli, but this old man also went along with quite a few others.

He was there when Odysseus was attacked.

Although many heroes who were unwilling to participate in the war disliked the big-headed Truth Bro who was in charge of everything, they also didn't like this old man very much. They didn't say it, and they weren't very close to him either.

then--

When Nestor fainted and fell to the ground in the hall, not a single hero came to help him up.

Unexpectedly, the two biggest contributors to the star-studded Greek lineup were one dead and the other unconscious, falling down one after the other.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Night encountered a new ambush.

This time, finally, some decent and capable heroes have arrived.

As they drew ever closer to Troy, the heroes and soldiers who were still pursuing them were now almost out of sight.

But those who dare to stand here after he has killed so many heroes must be quite capable and the most troublesome of them all.

Philoctetes and Idomeneus—!

When they saw these two heroes standing in front of them.

The story of these two heroes immediately came to mind in the night.

The former was a friend of Hercules in his time, and a great archer on the Greek side.

Even before the Trojan War began, it was prophesied by the witches that it was the key to ending the war.

Many people only know that Odysseus became famous for his Trojan Horse trick, which led to the Greek victory, but few people have noticed that he was also one of the greatest contributors to the Greek victory.

He was the archer who personally shot and killed Paris, the Trojan prince, the very archer who was the origin of the war.

If we consider only revenge, Greece had already achieved final victory the moment Philoctetes successfully shot and killed Paris.

And the bow and arrows in his hand, if Ye remembers correctly.

These are the divine bow and arrows that Hercules bequeathed to him when he ascended to godhood after his death.

The divine weapon once used by Hercules...!

Even though it was a divine artifact before he became a god, it is still enough to make people take it seriously when it is associated with the legendary hero Hercules.

Finally, a truly formidable enemy has arrived.

Chapter 139 Poseidon has made his move?!

Speaking of Philotectes—

This man has a grudge against the wicked Heinz.

Homer's Iliad recounts that when he was on a campaign against Troy, his feet were bitten by water snakes and he contracted a viral infection when the army landed on the island of Lemnos.

What did Odysseus do? He chose to abandon it on a deserted island and let it fend for itself, regardless of whether it lived or died.

After Philoctetes recovered from his injuries, Odysseus tried to bring him back with Achilles, but was refused.

It was only after Hercules, instructed by the gods, personally descended to earth that he persuaded his friend to continue participating in the war.

This tragic hero is someone who, when he does act, becomes famous overnight and wields a powerful divine weapon.

Ye would never underestimate his strength.

The story of Idomeneus, on the other hand, is more impressive.

King of Crete, grandson of Minos and son of Deucalion. A warrior of astonishing skill with the spear, he was a hero who, along with Diomedes, completed the most glorious chapter of the Trojan War, a story in which they nearly slew the gods.

In the future, after completing the Trojan War, he encountered a shipwreck on his way home. In order to return home safely, he asked Poseidon, the god of the sea, for help and promised to sacrifice the first creature he encountered after landing back home to Poseidon.

He thought it was just some small animal, but the first thing he encountered was his son who came excitedly to greet him. So he painfully killed his son as a sacrifice to the gods.

The Iliad describes Idomeneus as "like a strong wild boar."

King Agamemnon also praised Idomeneus highly: "Idomeneus, I admire you even more than the other Danai people... While the other Achaean leaders have finished their wine, your cup remains full, just like mine, you drink as much as you want and enjoy it to your heart's content."

He has excellent physical fitness, which is evident in all aspects.

This is a powerful hero whose brilliance is overshadowed by Diomedes, but in reality, his strength is also considerable.

Inside their tent were more than twenty spears, all of which were weapons captured from the Trojan heroes they had killed.

He single-handedly held off the left flank of the Trojan army and killed many enemies in the first war.

Specific achievements include, but are not limited to—killing Faistos, son of the Mayonian Boros, piercing his right shoulder with the thick tip of his spear and throwing him off the carriage.

He killed Osruonius, the spear tip plunging deep into his abdomen.

After killing Arcasus, Anquises' son-in-law pierced through the breastplate with a spear thrust to the chest.

They fought with the Aeneas legions for control of the left wing, thwarting the Trojans' plan to burn the Greek ships.

Even Aeneas, the founder of Rome, suffered repeated defeats at his hands.

With two powerful heroes, one melee and one ranged, working together, there's practically no opening.

This is probably the final hurdle—

Ye looked at the heroes working together, one at long range and one at close range, and pondered for a moment.

Ajax the Great didn't come. Based on his understanding of that hero and their time together, although he hadn't yet tried to persuade him to defect, he figured Ajax wouldn't want to participate in the hunt for him.

Diomedes' words—

The goddess Athena herself was here, and he didn't believe that Athena hadn't informed her faithful follower to stay away from the battlefield, or at least not cause trouble.

Aside from these last two, the only other top hero left in the entire coalition is Odysseus, who is still imprisoned.

After defeating those two, no one could stop him from going to Troy.

"Stop! Hero Griffith! Your escape ends here!" Hero Idomeneus was the first to speak.
