Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

But how could that be?

Before Ye could figure out the connection between them...

“I refuse—give up, Zeus.”

I will never grant your filthy request. How could you even have such thoughts about your own child? You disgust me.

Boom! A devastating thunderclap echoed outside the window.

In an instant, it seemed as if the entropy of the entire universe was about to be annihilated, the greatest chaos, the rage that wanted to return everything to its original state.

“You are the noble daughter of the God-King, the most beautiful woman in the world. No one but the great Heavenly Father is worthy to possess you, my child! Why resist?”

Or perhaps... you harbor illusions about those insignificant little people in the human world?

They possessed neither the tall, mighty, and handsome stature of the king of gods, nor the immense power of thunder capable of destroying everything.

You have divine blood flowing through your veins, and like me, you need not care about any worldly prejudices or etiquette.

Do you favor the weak over the great?

“You are mistaken, Zeus—the woman before you is not the daughter of Zeus, the king of the gods, but the daughter of Yendareus, the king of Sparta, and his queen Leda.”

I don't have a shameless god-king father like that...

"Compared to the powerful God-King, I would rather marry the weak humans you speak of; at least they won't have designs on their own daughters." At this point, she even disowned the title of "father."

And that's when Helena spoke up.

Zeus's wrath burns fiercely!

Night could sense that it was a terrifying flame being released, powerful enough to ignite and annihilate the universe.

But more than the terrifying pressure Zeus was exerting, Ye was deeply shaken by what the two had just said in their conversation.

Daughter of Yondarius, King of Sparta, or even Zeus's own daughter? That would be—

Helen?!

This was the origin of the Trojan War.

How could this be?! No, that's not right. If Helena is Helen, he should have been able to sense her presence on the city wall that day on the battlefield.

The atmosphere on the city wall was different from Helena's.

Given the connection between him and Helena, even if they were far apart, it was impossible for them not to be in contact.

Meanwhile, the girl's attitude completely enraged Zeus, who demanded, "Who?! Do you already have someone you like?"

Was it Theseus, the hero from afar who witnessed your dance today in the Temple of Artemis, or Piriteus?

When Helena began to ignore Zeus, treating him as if he didn't exist, she was completely disappointed and didn't want to pay any attention to him.

After Zeus unleashed another thunderous roar that shook the heavens and the earth, he suddenly said coldly, "Very well! Hmph, hmph, daughter of Tyndareus, king of Sparta, is that it? You love your adoptive father more than your biological father."

But you forgot that everything you have is a gift from me.

The birth of your soul and body both originated from me.

I can give you everything, and I can take everything away. Helen, my dear daughter, I've had enough of negotiating with you. I've given you a choice, but you didn't cherish it.

Now, in the name of Zeus, king of the gods, I reclaim all the blessings I have bestowed upon you, and return to me your flesh and soul.

I'll ask you one last time, Helen—

Destruction, or rebirth?

Don't even think about refusing. If you refuse again this time, I will kill your old, incompetent human father.

As Zeus uttered his cold and heartless words, Helen's face turned deathly pale.

"I choose...—" Finally, under Zeus's coercion, the princess, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the Greek world, suddenly revealed an incredibly moving smile and said firmly, "Destruction!"

"Great God Zeus! You shall not obtain me by any despicable means. Since you want me to return everything that belongs to you, then please drain my divine blood and destroy everything that is related to the god Zeus."

“I am the daughter of a human king, not the daughter of the king of gods…”

When faced with the girl who so cruelly rejected him in the end.

Zeus was finally enraged!

Even if he were the greatest Alexandre Dumas of Greece, given his personality, he would never let any beautiful woman go.

He had pursued the goddess of beauty, but when he could not have her, he destroyed her. So he gave her to his ugliest youngest son, which was also to make it easier for him to have affairs.

This was his second defeat, also against the most beautiful woman in the world.

Although the myth does not describe Zeus having any feelings for Helen.

But when this scene unfolded before Ye's eyes, Ye wasn't surprised at all...

After all, she was the most beautiful woman in Greece.

Given Zeus's nature of not sparing even his daughter Hades, would he spare Helen simply because she was his daughter?

Honestly, if Athena and Artemis didn't each have their own unique characteristics, Zeus would have already taken action against them.

Even upon closer examination, in mythology—

The heroes Theseus and Piriteus, on their expedition to Sparta, arrived here and took a fancy to Helen, who was dancing in the Temple of Artemis. That very night, they broke into the temple and took Helen away.

This palace appears to be the temple of Artemis.

However, judging from the current situation, the events in question occurred before Theseus and his group took action.

However, the two heroes failed, and Helen's brothers—the future twin gods Castor and Polydeuces—came to Athens and took Helen back.

At this time, Helen was still a minor, probably thirteen or fourteen years old. It wasn't until a few years later, when she had grown up and become even more charming, that the events of Odysseus and many other heroes proposing to her occurred.

During this process, Piriteus, unable to win Helen's heart, even turned his attention to Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld.

etc--

Ye suddenly widened her eyes, realizing a terrifying possibility.

Why did Piriteus choose Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, as a substitute after failing to win Helen's heart?

If it's just about finding beautiful women, Greece is so big, there must be a few famous and beautiful princesses.

But she set her sights on Hades' woman, a woman whose life was fraught with peril.

His desire for the Queen of the Underworld after losing Helen makes it hard not to wonder if Persephone has some similarity to Helen.

Considering that both were daughters of Zeus, it seems understandable that they looked very similar.

And then Zeus was later said to have transformed into Hades to seduce Persephone into bed.

Hiss! Could it be that Zeus's inability to obtain Helen's affections at this time led to the development of the distorted myth of Zeus attacking Hades to satisfy his desires?

This amazing, audacious idea flashed through my mind at night.

At this moment, a surprising change soon occurred in the scene, attracting Ye's attention.

Zeus: "Good! Very good! Daughter of the King of Sparta! Since you deny the fact that you are the daughter of the King of the Gods."

So--"

With a thunderous roar, Zeus suddenly unleashed a bolt of lightning.

In the thunder, Helen's flesh and blood vanished, leaving only a trace of her true spirit, which Zeus swallowed.

night:! ! !

Helen, dead?! Wait, then who is this Helen that the world is now desperately fighting over?

Chapter 151 What kind of alternative aesthetics? Am I going to steal someone from Zeus?

The true daughter of the God-King is dead.

Everything seems to make sense now.

Why would Zeus, who wouldn't even spare his own daughter, like Alexandre Dumas, spare Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world?

If the claim that he couldn't bring himself to harm Helen because he felt familial affection for her, regarding her as a beloved daughter like Artemis, is even more far-fetched—

If he loved Helen, he wouldn't have let her become a victim of the greatest conspiracy in the myth of the Golden Apple.

She could have seduced Paris with anyone.

Greece may lack many things, but it certainly doesn't lack beautiful women with names and identities.

But what did Zeus do?

He completely ignored Helen's subsequent mistreatment by the goddess of beauty, her tragic fate as a tool used between two men, as if she never had such a daughter at all.

If the Helen that followed was merely a counterfeit she made on a whim...

People only cherish genuine items and regard them as things of true value.

But have you ever seen anyone treat a fake as a treasure?

Just like the original works of Wang Xizhi and Li Bai, which are priceless, you can buy a dozen copies online for just a few dollars.

A fake is always a fake; no matter how beautiful it is, it has no collectible value.

If all these conjectures are true—

In this story, the one who suffered the most tragic fate, almost unjustly, was Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld.

She became a complete substitute for Helen, was stolen by the hero Piriteus, and coveted by Zeus; both men and gods wanted to possess her.

But it was merely to satisfy alternative literature and release the bestial desires that were no longer attainable.

After destroying the real Helen, Zeus's cruel voice continued: "Your proud and arrogant beauty and status, I will let you know that anyone can replace you if I want."

You are imprisoned within this clone of mine, watching others enjoy everything that should rightfully be yours!

Can your beloved earthly father recognize that you are no longer the same person you once were?

Zeus uttered a cold mockery.

Zeus, the king of the gods in Greek mythology, was the most humane, yet he displayed almost the worst aspects of human nature. He was the most selfish and the most petty of the gods.

He was able to devour his pregnant wife because of a prophecy.

Prometheus, the wise man who made great contributions in the struggle for the throne of the gods, was imprisoned on Mount Caucasus for being locked up all day long after he offended him by making fire for mankind. He suffered the pain of being scorched by the sun and having his liver eaten by eagles. He could not sleep all day, was exposed to the wind and rain, and was treated as food for wild beasts.

It's not surprising that now, wanting to satisfy his lust and possess his daughter but being repeatedly rejected, he would rather choose destruction than accept his gift and kill the real Helen in a fit of rage.
