Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

As they were about to leave the warning area, Odysseus dared not let his guard down for the slightest.

The closer we get to the crucial moment, the more we need to stay alert.

But unexpectedly, they were still spotted by someone.

Upon seeing who the witness was, Odysseus hurriedly stopped Diomedes, who was about to attack.

"etc--!!"

It's Helen!

Even after all these years, that woman, who is still very beautiful and now breathtakingly beautiful, had just witnessed the horrific scene of Griffith killing many members of the Trojan royal family to save her during the day.

If Diomedes were to kill Helen here, wouldn't Griffith strangle him in the process?!

It was as if a myth had come to life.

The gears of fate began to turn once more.

Helen once again discovered the Odysseus duo who had come to steal the idol, and just as described in the myth, she once again chose to pretend not to see them.

“I…I didn’t see anything. Whatever you want to do is none of my business.” After her initial surprise, Helen looked warily at Diomedes, who was about to make a move.

However, unlike before when he felt guilty towards the King of Sparta and was unwilling to make things difficult for these Greek heroes.

Helen did this because she had seen Odysseus delivering something to Griffith during the day.

Because of Lord Griffith, although she noticed the obviously strange cloth-wrapped object, she didn't say anything and watched it head out of the city.

however--

To be honest, this mission itself was a huge trap.

In the original mythology, the success of the mission was inseparable from the support of Athena herself.

Athena is too busy to deal with this right now, and even if she did, she would surely be furious to see Diomedes, whose mind has been controlled by other goddesses, trying to steal her idols.

Any goddess would be furious if her own warriors were used as tools by other goddesses.

After the little incident with Helen, it was all a close call.

The two continued their escape, and their journey went smoothly thereafter.

Just when Odysseus thought the previous radiance of the statue was an accident, as they were about to leave the territory of Troy, the statue suddenly emitted a strong light again, resisting and repelling Diomedes and Odysseus.

Bang! Bang! Two dull thuds echoed as the car landed.

Odysseus and his companion fell to the ground.

The statue of Athena was a treasure given by Athena to this land to protect it since the founding of Troy.

Since it is something specifically meant to protect Troy, it is only effective in Troy. It cannot leave the city of Troy unless the goddess Athena herself removes the restrictions on the statue.

While Eris could conjure up Diomedes for Odysseus, she couldn't conjure up Athena for him as well.

No matter how well she imitated her divine power, a fake is still a fake, and it cannot be mistaken for the real thing.

And so—unsurprisingly—Odysseus and his companions were eventually captured.

The two didn't even make it out of the city gate before being blocked by Hector's formidable force.

Hector, Aeneas, Penthesilea—basically all the heroes Troy could fight were present.

Even one-on-one, Odysseus was no match for any of them, let alone all of them.

Faced with this formidable team, he chose to surrender immediately!

As long as I throw fast enough, people won't die.

As long as a person is alive, there is still a chance—!

Good heavens, all he wanted was to live a good life and go back to his country to find his wife and son. Why is he so unlucky and always encounters bad luck?

But Diomedes, for some unknown reason, suddenly sprang into action—launching a direct attack!

The result was that the conflict was further intensified.

In his enhanced state, Diomedes even injured Hector and Aeneas, but was ultimately overwhelmed by Penthesilea, who also awakened his wild instincts at a crucial moment.

Hector seized the opportunity and pierced the ground with a single shot.

Defeating a top-tier hero like Diomedes is relatively easy, but killing him is very difficult, especially when he unleashes his full power at the critical moment of his life.

Unexpectedly, Diomedes became so stubborn this time, wreaking havoc on the Trojan camp.

And they completely abandoned defense, only knowing how to charge up and unleash their attacks!

He even managed to kill quite a few other heroes with his crazy mode. Although he was eventually killed by Hector's earring, both sides suffered heavy losses.

Odysseus, who had witnessed the entire scene, was at a loss for words.

Damn it!

He felt everything go black before his eyes—it was all over!

Diomedes has ruined me. That last state was clearly wrong, but regardless, Diomedes's suicide attack, like that of a martyr, had instantly placed Odysseus in an incredibly awkward situation.

Chapter 198 They must have an inside man! For example, Glenn… Helen: Yes, it was me.

Because Diomedes refused to surrender, his position as a member of the surrender faction became awkward.

Moreover, Troy suffered heavy casualties and sacrifices, and for a moment the heroes' gazes toward Odysseus turned cold.

"I surrender!! I request to be held a prisoner and have a ransom demanded from the Greeks!" Odysseus surrendered very boldly, feeling that if he showed even the slightest reaction, the heroes, in their current overreaction, might immediately stab him to death.

Under such circumstances, he should refrain from making any futile resistance.

Odysseus was soon brought to the palace to meet Priam.

At this time, other heroes who were not involved in the matter also rushed over after receiving the news.

Of course, this included Griffith.

Ye never expected that she would meet Odysseus again in such a short time.

Upon hearing the news of Diomedes's murder, he was momentarily speechless; the butterfly effect was quite significant.

What worries Ye Du is whether Athena will lose her temper over this.

Although this goddess is beautiful and kind-hearted, she has perfectly inherited the petty and narrow-minded nature of the Greek gods, which will likely lead to endless revenge. This undoubtedly adds a lot of trouble to bringing her into the Trojan camp.

However—it doesn't matter to the night now.

His current position in Troy is quite delicate, given that he killed those Trojan princes.

Perhaps the next moment he will turn against Troy, depending on how Priam and the others treat him.

Given the current situation, it's clear that Troy is doomed!

Or perhaps he never intended to save just anyone in the first place, and now he's even less inclined to do so.

To repay the debt of gratitude, he would protect Hector. With his current strength, if he could defeat and knock Hector unconscious, and then send him and Aeneas to Rome to establish a new kingdom in the Mediterranean, he could solve the problem once and for all.

However, that would be tantamount to running away, and Hector probably wouldn't accept it, otherwise he really wouldn't want to deal with this mess.

Meanwhile, a huge argument was taking place in the main hall.

The heroes had just breathed a sigh of relief when, unexpectedly, Odysseus pulled a big surprise on them that night.

Odysseus actually came to Troy, and not only him—even Diomedes came, and the two of them wanted to steal the statue of Athena.

This is really scary.

It's like playing a game where both sides are still deploying their troops on the front lines, but you suddenly discover that your own crystal was almost stolen – it's thrilling and exciting.

It's impossible not to be afraid of this kind of behavior from a thug.

If you lose a war, you can truly lose everything.

No one can accept such consequences.

Since Odysseus and his companions were able to enter and steal the idol, they could naturally also enter and poison it.

Fortunately, the commotion was loud enough that they noticed it. But what if the other side had sabotaged them quietly, like poisoning their food and water, and then they never woke up again? Wouldn't that have been even more terrifying?!

We must find out exactly how Odysseus and his companions managed to sneak in.

Under the interrogation of a group of heroes, what integrity could the wicked Seuss possibly have?

Having already been branded with the crime of murdering the Son of Truth, his reputation was already ruined. So what was there to hide in order to survive?

Although he knew that these people probably wouldn't let him off the hook even if he told them, he had even less chance if he didn't.

Those fearful eyes made Odysseus realize that if these people didn't get the answer today, they would probably use all the torture on him, determined to force the answer out of him no matter what.

Now that the mission has failed, that intelligence is no longer a closely guarded secret, and this method obviously cannot be used a second time against the wary Trojans.

"It was the goddess... The goddess guided us all the way, and through divine revelation, we obtained the documents needed to pass through."

Troy could find out about this later, but they probably wouldn't have associated it with the gods.

And when Odysseus said that it was actually the work of a god.

All the heroes' expressions changed.

A goddess? Which one? Considering the appearance of Diomedes, almost everyone subconsciously thought of Athena.

But if it was Athena, why would she make the statue emit such a strong light, making the heroes realize that there was a problem in the temple?

There are many contradictions in this.

Almost everyone subconsciously believes that the goddess Odysseus spoke of was Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, which is a misconception stemming from habitual thinking.

Just as people now subconsciously like to associate goddesses like Athena and Artemis with Griffith.

When Diomedes, a loyal warrior under Athena, appeared on the battlefield, people subconsciously assumed that this plan was authorized by Athena.

Many heroes turned their gazes toward Griffith at this moment.

"I haven't received any divine revelation..." Ye's words shut them down.

Regardless of whether it was Athena's order or not, he knew nothing about it anyway.

But the panic did not disappear as a result.

“This is truly absurd—although I don’t believe Odysseus is lying, let’s assume it’s true for now. But surely there are those among us in Troy who have betrayed us and chosen to side with the Greeks. If it weren’t for someone inside helping Odysseus and his men, no amount of divine revelation would have mattered,” a hero suddenly said.

This seems to be a pointed attack.
