Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Princess Laodick has arrived!

Chapter 174 Just tell me, are you going to take me or not! Odysseus: I'll take you... take you!

You can always believe in the goddess of beauty—

The trumpet—Laodick, the princess.

As Griffith's number one fans (Agamemnon, Apollo, Helios, and a whole host of other names line up to disagree, we are the number one fans!!), we wish we could observe Griffith's growth and changes 24/7.

If conditions allowed, she would have even wanted to ask Zeus to borrow the three Fates so that she could use their true eyes to spy on Griffith every day.

It would be even better if we could also tie a red thread (a line of destiny) for her so that she and Griffith would inevitably fall in love.

From the moment Priam and Paris began to doubt Griffith.

Laodick was furious...

As an embodiment of self-awareness, she is not the goddess herself, but rather a little rascal with some supernatural powers.

Of course—the goddess herself is just a big fry.

Regardless of their strength, this doesn't affect Raodick's desire to stand up for the hero Griffith. In fact, if conditions allowed, she would love to smash her brother's and father's heads.

"You have reason to suspect that any Greek hero might come to Troy with ill intentions. But—!!"

This princess, who was usually unassuming in the eyes of others, suddenly shone like a jewel, finally shedding the dust and disguise that covered her, and walked confidently and firmly into the public eye.

She stood before all the heroes, fearless and dignified, and said, “You must never doubt the character of the ‘hero who returns the treasure’! I think… a hero who can resist the temptation of the divine weapon, even if it means peeling the armor that is fused with his own flesh and blood off his body, would disdain doing things that deceive others.”

"I vouch for it with my own integrity!"

"Moreover, the reason why the hero Griffiths broke away from Greece is well known throughout Greece: it was due to the coercion of Ares, the god of war. For this, he even defeated Ares and Poseidon on the battlefield."

"You actually doubt the character of such a hero? This is as absurd and outrageous as the Greeks suspecting Achilles of wanting to join Troy!"

The princess's clear and resonant voice echoed throughout the hall, carrying a powerful and convincing tone.

However, the night: !

You guessed it right.

Achilles did indeed defect to Troy.

The hero who returned the favor is beyond question.

Priam was taken aback by being openly rebuked at such a moment, and his face turned very ugly. Although he wanted to say something, he couldn't find any words to refute Laodick.

Paris's expression darkened. How could Laodick possibly side with an outsider?

at the same time--

the other side.

The Greek camp, inside the prison.

"This is your only chance to redeem yourself, Odysseus."

“I understand… I will try to steal the Athena statue, but it’s too difficult for me to fool so many heroes on my own.”

"You can choose one of the many heroes to be your helper."

When Ares and Eris formed a new alliance and decided to send heroes to Troy to steal Athena's statue, they soon discovered a problem: they had no one to rely on.

At this moment, the vast Greek camp had no one capable of shouldering the burden of Greece.

In the end, they thought of the resourceful Odysseus—

As for the reinstatement of Odysseus, neither of the gods had any objections. In fact, this version of Odysseus hadn't even had a chance to commit any crimes; he was completely tricked by Eris.

However, Odysseus himself did not know this, otherwise he would never have risked his life for the enemy who framed him.

At that moment, he was like a drowning person grasping at the only straw that could save him.

To atone for one's crimes through meritorious service—!

This was his only chance of survival.

As if it were destined—

Odysseus: "The one I have chosen is... Diomedes!"

The goddess Eris smiled slightly and said, "Okay, no problem."

The reason for not choosing the powerful Achilles was that it was known that Achilles might not obey orders, and even the chief god could not force him to act if the deity was unhappy.

They didn't choose Ajax the Great either. Although he was strong, this time they were going to steal, and they needed agile skills, not shieldmen who could stand still and take hits.

Looking at the entire Greek camp, those who still had some strength were either not as powerful as Diomedes, or they were basically all killed when Griffith left.

Griffith didn't leave him any teammates to choose from! What a disaster!

In the end, only Diomedes remained for Odysseus.

While imprisoned and out of touch with the news, he was unaware that Diomedes had been abducted by the goddess, but he eventually received a promise from Eris herself that the two would become partners.

then--

The plan to steal the idol is progressing steadily... or so?

However, without Athena's approval this time, can they really steal the statue successfully?

Although the goddess Eris promised to help them conceal their actions as their plans unfolded.

But how much of what's said here can be believed? Heh—just take it with a grain of salt.

Just as Odysseus was resurrected, changed his clothes, and set off on his journey to Troy, he pondered how to steal the idols without anyone noticing.

Shortly after he left the Greek camp, a figure suddenly blocked his way.

"Hey—Odysseus, right... could you bring me something?"

Achilles?!

The great hero Achilles stood in his way, and then threw Odysseus a porcelain-like object.

Luckily, Odysseus on horseback instinctively caught it, preventing it from breaking.

"Bring something? What's inside? Who do you want me to bring it to?" Odysseus frowned.

Achilles: "I got some medicine from my hometown. It's nothing valuable, but it can quickly heal burns from things like celestial fire. That man should be able to use it."

"That man? Which one?" Odysseus was a little confused.

Achilles: "You're so annoying! Who else could it be but him?!"

So who is he?!

Odysseus was speechless, finally—

After realizing that the purpose of his trip was Troy, and that he was related to Achilles and was someone Achilles was so concerned about, he understood why Achilles was so interested in him.

Especially this kind of medicine that is obviously a miracle cure for external injuries. Although Achilles said it was worthless, it was clearly a top-quality product!

Suddenly, Odysseus's eyes widened as if he had just thought of something: "You're not going to make me go find Griffith, are you?!"

grass--!

I went there to steal things! Not to deliver them for you.

Besides, Griffith is already a hero on the Trojan side, right?

Are you sure this isn't sending me to walk right into a trap?

Achilles: "Enough talk—are you going to help me or not?! Consider it a favor I owe you."

Odysseus: I'll help you...!

Before Odysseus could even curse, he suddenly saw Achilles plant the spear into the ground, its gleaming tip seemingly pointing directly at him, aimed at his throat.

Glug...!

That was the tense sound of saliva sliding down the throat.

Chapter 175 Raodick: Helen, do you want some? Paris? Just a brat.

Odysseus swallowed hard, remained silent for a long time, and then forced a smile before saying, "Help—!"

After finally managing to get rid of Achilles,

After walking only a few steps, Odysseus encountered another obstacle blocking his path.

This time it's King Agamemnon!

"Odysseus—help me..."

"You don't want me to deliver something too, do you?"

"What? Also...?"

Agamemnon was stunned. He was a little confused, but he decided to stop thinking about it for the time being. He then asked Odysseus to help him deliver some things.

Besides a large amount of external wound medicine, there was also a considerable amount of gold, jewelry, and other valuables.

Although Agamemnon did not have the elixir, he did everything he could to support Griffith.

I left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to ask them to take more things with them.

If you're so poor in Greece that you can't afford to eat—

Odysseus: !!

Are you kidding me? Agamemnon!

At this point, Odysseus was speechless. Under what circumstances would a hero capable of slaying gods go hungry?

Even if Priam were old and blind, he wouldn't dare treat a great hero like that.

A powerful figure like Griffith would be treated as an honored guest in any country he visited.

He originally intended to refuse Agamemnon.

But when Agamemnon's face darkened and he openly threatened him that if he didn't help him, he would make things difficult for him when he returned, Agamemnon—!

As the king of Mycenae, he had a hundred ways to get him back into prison.

Odysseus: ...!

nm——!
