This is exactly the kind of thing that Alexandre Dumas would do.
Since it was Zeus, given his petty nature, his revenge would naturally not be so simple.
Then——
Night understood the meaning behind Zeus's words.
He transformed Helena, another beautiful girl in the temple who was originally Helen's handmaiden, into the clothes of a princess and bestowed upon her a beautiful appearance with divine power, just as he had created Pandora, the masterpiece that brought disaster to mankind.
Zeus then altered the memories of everyone in Sparta, making them all regard the newborn girl as Helen, the most beautiful princess in the kingdom.
Even Theseus and Piriteus, heroes who were utterly infatuated with Helen, failed to notice anything amiss.
They couldn't even tell that this princess, whose appearance had changed drastically, was no longer the one who danced gracefully in the temple and made them fall in love at the same time.
Or rather—in the presence of a beautiful woman, a man is prone to fickleness and aversion to the old. Even if he can sense the slightest incongruity, when he sees that beautiful girl, blessed by the omnipotent god Zeus, who shines brighter than the stars and the moon and makes the brilliance of the stars pale in comparison…
At the age of thirteen or fourteen, she blossomed into the purest and most touching beauty.
Those last lingering feelings of unease were forgotten by Theseus and the others.
however--
When the two who stole 'Helen' couldn't divide the spoils equally, they drew lots to decide who would be the final owner. The winner had to help the loser win another beautiful woman.
When Piriteus lost.
Surprisingly, unlike heroes in other myths who become enraged and ultimately draw their swords against each other, he did not hesitate or suffer much. Instead, he seemed to feel a sense of ease and relief, calmly accepting the outcome and then changing his goals.
Finally, by some strange twist of fate, he set his sights on Persephone, the queen of Hades, the god of the underworld!
In the firelight, the dream gradually began to fade away.
Until the very end of time, that forgotten true spirit seemed to still be in the cage created by Zeus, watching the hell on earth that the king of the gods had created for him.
A woman who bears her own name but has forgotten her original identity, yet is equally tragic, the most beautiful woman in Greece, manipulated and played with by heroes and gods.
However, even after the Trojan War ended, Zeus did not give up the idea of continuing to use her, and seemed to be preparing to use her spirit to do some more cruel things.
The dream shattered, and the scenes that followed seemed to be beyond my current power to see.
But the night seemed to already know what Zeus would do next.
He recalled how the Greek gods had laid out their plans in the Mediterranean to spread their mythology and establish Roman civilization.
I thought of the princess born from the veins of earth nurtured by the countless souls of Carthage, Rome's enemy, and the underworld of the Roman world, which also originated from their handiwork.
Zeus—he's really ruthless.
Even watching it all night became unbearable.
So--
Although I finally understand, the Red Dragon Queen does indeed have her own identity in this world.
But right now, she's in a situation where her identity has been stolen.
Her true spirit should still be imprisoned by Zeus.
So where did she go after she arrived here? Did she run straight into Zeus's prison?
The thought of walking right into a trap gave Ye a headache.
If he were with Zeus, he would be in a much more difficult situation to save.
Even though he successfully used Athena's power to mess with the sea god and the god of war, he never thought he could defeat Zeus now.
Zeus, the Almighty God—
Even if he cannot achieve true omniscience and omnipotence in the conceptual sense, he can still be called an 'omnipotent god' in terms of the comprehensiveness of his power.
Faced with this hexagonal-shaped god-king who had no weak points and was almost identical to himself, he was at a disadvantage.
Especially in dreams, there's a feeling that if you stare at someone, you might be discovered.
Just how powerful was Zeus?
Ye frowned...
It seems too far-fetched for me to even think about that problem now, given my current capabilities.
Even with the help of Athena, he could only achieve destructive power comparable to that of the main gods, but he still could not understand powerful rule-based operations such as transformation at will, turning stones into gold, and turning people or even gods into sheep or cows.
Chapter 152 Praising the embodiment of 'freedom' for women in ancient Greece!
In the Greek world, this kind of rule-based ability was always too overpowered.
Sometimes, even powerful deities like the God King cannot resist this cheating ability, which is like a sheep-turning knife in the game.
Under certain conditions, anything can be transformed into a sheep.
Even the immense power that allows you to easily destroy the universe and create worlds becomes powerless like a lamb to the slaughter after being transformed into a sheep, at the mercy of others.
It could even easily kill a passerby.
Before understanding the principles behind this power, even if Ye wanted to expand, it would be difficult for him to do so.
The waters here are too deep; he can't handle it.
but--
Thinking back to what I had sensed earlier, Helena's connection to Troy.
perhaps--
A possibility suddenly occurred to him.
Each time he enters the simulated universe, he occupies an identity—or, in mythological terms, a 'position'.
Therefore, the number of units in the world is fixed.
Just like the angel descent ceremony in the neighboring world of A Certain Magical Index, the positions of the angels in the sky are limited, but if one of them is driven down through great magic, then others have the possibility of taking his place and ascending to heaven in his place.
A person's position in the world is fixed, but what if two people simultaneously occupy the same name IP address?
What bugs might occur in the world?
Is it formatted to return to its original state, or is it like fixing a bug, allowing it to continue to exist in another special way?
It seems that after he goes to Troy, he will go and see what Helen is all about in this world.
Just as the thought of night fell, and he was about to wake up.
Meanwhile, something else happened to his body outside the body.
An army from the capital of Troy came to escort the two princesses and the hero Griffith back to Troy.
Meanwhile, Artemis also came to settle scores, forcing Athena to temporarily leave Night's side. After confirming that the army was indeed Trojan...
The conversation with Achilles the previous night made Athena vaguely sense that Griffith's identity was still being concealed. With the wisdom of the goddess of wisdom, she had already realized that his relationship with Troy might be unusual. Perhaps she no longer needed to worry about how to get Griffith to believe in the Trojan heroes.
I believe Ye can solve these problems on her own.
Now, she also has to deal with Artemis's wrath.
The two goddesses traveled to the stars to have a peaceful exchange...
On the land, the army, carrying Night's body and the two princesses, began to leave the city-state and embark on the road to Troy...
Hmm—halfway through the journey, Chryseis, who was very familiar with the route back to Troy, frowned.
This is not the route to Troy. Where are these people taking them?
I had a bad feeling.
Chrysei whispered her discovery to Brices, then asked Brices to take care of the night before she got out of the carriage to observe the situation.
Brices nodded nervously, and then, in his nervousness, he hugged Ye tightly. Ancient Greek women did not wear inner garments, which was a manifestation of advocating freedom and equality at the time.
So Brice's two little white rabbits were basically separated by a thin layer of clothing, pressed tightly against Night's chest muscles.
Seeing Briceth blushing as the caregivers took care of him, Briceth's face suddenly turned red.
This girl has always been very self-aware of her body.
When Chrysei saw it, she felt a wave of dizziness.
'Hero...!'
The hero she longed for and prayed for day and night was now with her equally longed-for sister.
Chrysei was a gentle person, but also a person who was not good with words.
That conversation with Ye that night had exhausted all my courage.
This time, faced with the scene before her, she couldn't bring herself to do what her sister did—seemingly unconsciously taking advantage of her.
She opened her mouth, a hint of shyness flashing in her eyes as if she had thought of something, but in the end she didn't say anything, turned around, pulled back the curtain, and stepped out of the carriage.
The leader of this army, Chryseis, recognized him as the hero Cygnus.
They were allies who had recently joined the Trojan camp.
He was the king of the Kingdom of Corona.
However, on the battlefield of Troy, which hero or general wasn't a king or prince?
It is not surprising that he, as the king of a country, would protect Griffith.
After all, Griffith's record of victory is now known throughout all of Greece as formidable, and he deserves such attention from both sides.
When Chryseis was sent here from Troy, it was Cykenos who escorted her.
Because of this relationship, she trusted the hero to a certain extent.
Similarly, it was also Cygnus who notified him to come, to meet his sister, and to take care of the hero.
But now that they've gone further and further astray, Chryseis can't help but have doubts.
Before Chryseis could say anything, the priestess, who had just peeked out, saw a group of cavalry advancing, glaring menacingly—
"Lady Chryseis, please return to the carriage. We are still some distance from returning, and it is still very dangerous."
“I understand…” Seeing the soldiers’ attitude, which was completely different from when they were still in the city-state, and incredibly forceful, Chryseis realized something and wisely chose not to clash with them, but instead retreated.
It is now certain that Cygnus is at fault. As a royal princess and sorceress of Apollo, no soldier in the city-state of Troy would be so disrespectful to her.
I just don't know why they did that.
