Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Although there is some exaggeration in this benchmark.

Even if this thing didn't directly kill the twelve main gods, its power is definitely top-tier among all bow-type divine tools.

This is truly an exceptionally generous gift.

It even makes one restless, wanting to use the blood of a god to revive its long-awaited sharpening.

Although Ye had studied archery, he had only learned some basic techniques from Hector and was far from being an excellent archer.

Ye, who aspires to be an all-around, flawless warrior, plans to find a highly skilled archer to learn archery techniques whenever he has the chance.

After all, he wasn't the kind of archer like Gilgamesh who could directly use his Royal Treasury to drop weapons in the air to kill targets.

And then they felt the carriage stop.

Have we arrived yet?

Before the soldiers carrying the orders could approach, Ye slowly got up, and the two sisters were already dressed.

Seeing this, he no longer hesitated—

Ye slung his divine bow over his shoulder and stepped out of the carriage.

!!!

When the man, who was clearly incredibly handsome, realized who was in front of him and saw that the man had actually woken up and stepped out of the carriage, the surrounding soldiers immediately tensed up, looking as if they had seen a monstrous flood.

Ye's strong physique, even just standing there and making a casual gesture, had a tremendous intimidating effect on these ordinary mortals.

"...!! Lord Griffiths!"

Griffith, the hero who defeated the sea god and the god of war, has awakened.

However, something surprising soon happened to Ye.

The battle he had anticipated did not occur; instead, the soldiers knelt down in unison and suddenly saluted him.

"Salute to Griffith, the great and valiant hero who defeated Ares, the god of war!"

"It's so good to see you wake up safely."

"Goddess Athena is waiting for you in the temple ahead. Please leave the rest to your old acquaintance."

The hero Cygnus rode up to the night and bowed respectfully in homage to its power and bravery, before pointing out the way forward.

When Ye saw Cykonos's genuine respect and completely unfriendly attitude, he was slightly surprised.

He did not seem to have come because of his father Poseidon's defeat on the battlefield.

However, he only mentioned his victory over Ares, without mentioning Poseidon's equally embarrassing performance. This was probably his last fig leaf.

Ye had no intention of kicking someone when they were down or emphasizing the results of the god-slaying battle.

He frowned slightly...

I have no idea what this Cygnus is up to, especially since he mentioned—Athena?!

Chapter 156 The Correct Strategy Route—The Enemy Stockpiles Food, I Stockpil Guns!

Has Athena arrived a step ahead of us?

Was it her order for these soldiers to send her here?

Feeling that something was amiss, Ye, sensing something strangely off, decided to take it one step at a time.

They temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​killing Cooknos here.

Putting aside his somewhat disgustingly arrogant father, Cooknos is a decent person, aside from being a bit haughty.

At least when Troy was in trouble, compared to those other allies who initially shirked their responsibilities, it was already quite commendable that he took the initiative to come to their aid.

Unless absolutely necessary, Ye did not want to kill any of Troy's fighting force.

“I will personally go to pay homage to the goddess…” Night replied.

He did not press the other party to ask why they had changed their destination, turning their route to Troy into this city-state whose location he did not know.

Perhaps everything will be revealed when we meet the goddess Athena in that temple of Athena.

Then, at night, he pulled back the carriage curtain and took Chrysei and Brisses by their hands, leading them down.

"Stay close to me later..." Night whispered to the two sisters.

Sensing the strange atmosphere, the two sisters both nodded.

They had also heard what Cygnus said while they were in the carriage.

Although he didn't have the same powerful intuition as the hero, Night.

But a woman's sixth sense, and the sense of incongruity she felt when saying goodbye to the goddess Athena before leaving.

If it was Athena's order, why didn't she just say so at the time?

But in Greece, no one would dare to be so audacious as to forge the goddess's will and issue an oracle.

The two, though puzzled, knew one thing for sure: all they had to do was follow the hero's lead.

That night, as he led Chryseis and the others to the front of the army, he saw another group of men waiting ahead.

The fact that the leader was an "old acquaintance" stunned Ye.

Diomedes?

Why is he here?

Could it really be an oracle from Athena?

Although we've been through a lot, and I've shared hardships with Athena, even though it's somewhat shameful that Athena has been helping me unilaterally all along.

However, in his interactions with this Virgo goddess, Night had a slight idea of ​​turning her into a 'partner' and continuing to be a comrade-in-arms—perhaps he could try to bring Athena to the Trojan camp.

But before he could even begin to try to persuade Athena, she had already lured her own retinue away from the Greek camp.

night:……

According to his original idea.

Since Ares, the god of war, has gone to Greece.

To compensate for the fact that Troy is missing a powerful figure, wouldn't it be much more worthwhile to simply bring over the even stronger Athena than to lose a god of war?

Athena, the goddess of wisdom, could not bear to see the world plunged into war, and she was also the guardian goddess who raised Troy.

Although the old king of Troy had offended Zeus, Poseidon, and Apollo by building the city without paying and even driving people away, he had also disappointed Athena. Furthermore, Paris's decision not to choose Athena when the golden apple was presented further offended the goddess.

Ultimately, this led Athena to abandon her stance of siding with Troy in the war.

Of the three goddesses, Paris chose the weakest.

It's no wonder that this guy has history in his head.

Athena offered him power to make himself strong, but he refused; Hera offered him power and status, but he refused those too. He only wanted beauty.

Once you have power or the most powerful position, why don't you just go and seize people?

The enemy hoards grain, I hoard guns; the enemy is my granary.

Putting aside her personal grudges with Paris and others, both Troy and Athens in Greece were originally Athena's main bases of operations, so for Athena, it was appropriate to stand on either side in the divine war.

Furthermore, considering that Apollo, the god of war, and the goddess of beauty could all stand on the side of Troy in the original mythology.

Although Zeus decided that Troy would ultimately lose, he did not impose too many restrictions on which side the gods would take in the end.

In theory, with proper handling, it's not impossible to lure this guardian of Troy back.

but--

His plan hasn't even started yet.

Athena had always been helping Greece.

Even when he was escaping with him, he was mostly helping him complete the "undercover" mission in Troy. By the time he discovered his problems, they were already on the run.

Athena, who had been with him all along, would only have time to inform Diomedes of his rebellion if she made a quick decision to abandon everything in Greece and go all in on Troy with him.

But only someone with an extremely romantic mind would do that...

Even if Athena, the goddess who has already acted very improperly and is probably just lusting after herself, would she really go to such lengths?

Sudden--

Night sensed that something was amiss with Diomedes on the other side.

The other person didn't say a word to him, only nodded silently, and then turned away...

It seems like they're leading the way...

When did Diomedes become this aloof and cold character?

He looked so bitter and resentful.

How many times must one be attacked by a minotaur to become so gloomy and withdrawn?

There's a problem—

Even if he had stolen the other party's goddess, given his understanding of her personality, the possibility of her directly challenging him, igniting her fighting spirit, and unleashing her inner power was actually higher.

The opponent was definitely not the kind of person who would easily lose his fighting spirit. He was like a wolf, a ferocious beast, and would never submit to anyone until his fangs and claws were broken.

Ye didn't engage in conversation with Diomedes; he could sense the man's powerful aura, confirming that it was indeed him.

That's a very intriguing question.

Night, along with Chrysei and the others, silently followed behind him.

Upon arriving at a temple, they were greeted by a group of devout believers kneeling on the ground.

The believers do not enter the temple to worship, but pray outside the temple?

This scene seemed incredibly strange, but Ye and the others soon learned the reason.

...At the very front, two fully armed soldiers were guarding the temple gate, preventing anyone from entering.

Soldier: "Go back."

Crowd: "Does that mean we're going back today? Then we'll come visit our goddess again tomorrow."

Soldier:"……"
