Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Rumors now point directly to Griffith as an accomplice to Odysseus's theft of the statue.

Having already betrayed Greece, if he were to betray Troy as well, then there would be no place for this man in the entire Greek world.

Therefore, as the king of Greece, he had nothing to fear.

On the contrary, it should be the other party who shows respect to you.

Even if he is innocent and blameless, all the humiliation of being suspected now is the price he deserves for disrespecting him during the day!

Although, but... thinking about this—

However, Priam, fearing that power and unwilling to go too far, said: "Well then—! If you execute the hero Odysseus in the central square in front of all the Trojans, I think no one will doubt your stance anymore! Griffiths!"

Finally, the old king, intimidated by that calm gaze, made this request.

This is absolutely not from his heart! He just felt that this method was enough for the other party to prove their innocence.

After all, unlike the Greek heroes Griffith had killed, Odysseus's life was far more valuable than that of the heroes before him.

Greece would never abandon a powerful and wise hero like Odysseus because of an undercover operation.

Helen is not worth trading the life of a rare hero like Odysseus for.

On the other side, Odysseus's face turned deathly pale upon hearing the final verdict.

But Odysseus, who had a pretty good idea of ​​his fate, did not show any signs of being embarrassed or flustered.

It would be a lie to say I'm not afraid; no one can face death without feeling anything.

But he had done his best; before he came, he had prepared for a situation where he would likely die.

The only thing he found unacceptable was that he was so close to success, but at the crucial moment, he was betrayed by the idol and failed at the last minute.

One step away—! Just one step away, he could leave the high wall, reunite with Ajax the Great, and under his protection, the group would successfully evacuate Troy.

When Odysseus looked at that night, Odysseus still did not say anything.

Even if they all knew that telling the truth now—that Odysseus had indeed been to the palace—would most likely not save his life.

Priam had no intention of exchanging him for money; he intended to take his life.

This is understandable, after all, it was Odysseus, who was known as the Greek strategist.

Letting such a talented person who can dominate the battlefield go back would only create trouble for ourselves.

Troy was originally destroyed because of this man. Even though Priam could not see that distant future, he understood that Odysseus's excellence lay not in his martial prowess, but in his intellect, which other heroes lacked.

A Greek with a brain and a Greek without a brain are two completely different things when it comes to fighting. So any hero who is captured can be negotiated, but Odysseus, the enemy's strategist, must die!

but--

Even if you know there's a high probability you won't be let off the hook, what about the low probability?

Humans all have the instinct to survive. Odysseus could have offered up Night, or even Helen, to divert attention from the conflict...

That's what he's best at.

Even though this act of betrayal would be condemned by others, it gave them a glimmer of hope to survive.

At this moment, Odysseus seemed to have forgotten about the incident, but how could someone with such a strong will to survive forget such crucial information?

Night glanced at Odysseus, who had lowered his head and seemed to have given up: "Alright!"

The scene shifts, fast-forwarding to the central square of Troy, where the platform for the execution of the hero Odysseus has already been erected.

The number of Trojans who rushed to the scene upon hearing of this was countless; it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a sea of ​​people.

To execute a hero, and not just any hero, but the famous Odysseus.

Naturally, a large number of people gathered to watch...

"Let's begin, Griffiths," Priam said, seated on the royal throne.

He was surrounded by many heroes.

Odysseus was already bound to a high platform in the center of the square.

Night said nothing. At that moment, he held Artemis, the fawn, in his arms. Artemis was curled up in his arms, enjoying the rare warmth, in whatever position was comfortable for her.

She didn't care about Odysseus or anything like that; whatever Night decided didn't matter. At this moment, Artemis found Priam's voice, which had interrupted this moment of tenderness, rather annoying.

The moon goddess silently made a mental note of this annoying old king.

Meanwhile, Night temporarily set Artemis down, leaving her warm embrace, which made the fawn jump around in dissatisfaction, but Night herself had already walked up to a high platform.

Instead of taking action, he asked Odysseus a question.

"Why don't you confess about meeting me..."

"What...what are you talking about? I've never even met you, Hero Griffith!"

Odysseus looked up in surprise for the first time, and quickly retorted, afraid that their conversation might have been overheard.

Unlike himself, who was certain of dying anyway, he wasn't the kind of person who couldn't see the bigger picture. He was already going to die, and while he wasn't going to make any further contributions to Greece, Odysseus may have made the right decision for the first time in his life.

That is, concealing the fact that she had met with Griffith.

When Odysseus saw that Griffith was just staring at him, he sighed: "...You're a really strange person, Griffith. I've been keeping it all a secret!"

Chapter 201 Old bastard Deng, I've spoiled you too much, shut up!

What kind of hero was Odysseus?

The man who was loved by the Olympian gods and left behind the epic poem Odysseus, a unique Greek hero.

Is the only impression he gives people really that of slandering his fellow countrymen?

You can call him despicable, but it's undeniable that he didn't actually want to participate in this war.

He was caught up in the tide of history along with countless other heroes, forced to join this decades-long war, leaving behind his wife and children, and his originally peaceful and happy life.

He loves beautiful women, but he is very rational and will not force himself to have them if he cannot have them.

He is ruthless and harsh, designing battlefields and his own people, and he will not hesitate to abandon any comrade who becomes a burden.

But how many people in this Greek camp could he truly be considered to have a bond with?

When looking at this hero, aside from his sinister side, we must not forget his resentment towards his unjust treatment and his wisdom, which even the gods admired, enabling him to complete impossible trials time and time again.

He stole the idol, plotted against Truth, who brought him to the Greek battlefield, fulfilled the three great prophecies, devised the Trojan Horse to end the Trojan War, and led all the Greeks who had longed to return home back to their country.

I believe that if any battlefield lasts for decades, no soldier would want to continue unless the leader is determined to do things his own way.

From the perspective of ending the war, Odysseus, who enabled people suffering from the ravages of the battlefield and the torment of both physical and mental pain to end the war, was undoubtedly a true hero.

This is probably why, even knowing that he had done many unjust things, the gods, including Zeus, were still willing to help and love him, allowing him to return safely to his homeland.

The story of Odysseus's journey back home is what led to the continuation of Odysseus.

In fact, if you look at his life, you will find that he was a person with very rich emotions.

He had his own desires, and he also longed for Achilles' armor, but he was rational enough to know what was permissible and what was not. Although he did not reject making achievements, he also wanted to finish the war as soon as possible and go back to his family.

He is a contradictory individual, just like every human being.

He originally wanted to enjoy happiness peacefully, but when difficulties really came, he did not reject the ambition of a man to achieve great things.

However, people often don't care about a person's true nature, but only about what they have done and what they can do.

The Trojans, fearing Odysseus's intelligence, wanted to put him to death.

In the past, to help Troy and end the powerful Greek forces, she never hesitated to kill the man before her.

But now he was more focused on the man's inner thoughts, and Ye suddenly changed his mind.

Was Odysseus's refusal to betray him before his death out of loyalty?

A person who betrayed his own people would rather die than try to expose himself.

What kind of belief is behind this?

He wanted to know—!

But when he saw the helplessness and relief in those eyes that night, the powerful spiritual force that seemed to see through the essence of things suddenly made him understand.

This man...

He was neither a good person nor a bad person; his goodness was not entirely pure, and his evil was not entirely pure either.

But at least before he died, wanting to leave in a more dignified manner, he chose to keep the secret for Agamemnon, for Achilles, and for Griffith.

Once the secret is exposed, Odysseus, who has no idea what kind of person Griffith is, will be left in the dark.

In his eyes, the fact that the top heroes and even leaders on both sides were so concerned about each other and had such close contact was a bombshell for both Greece and Troy.

This is not a good thing for either side.

It was precisely this choice that saved Odysseus's life.

Subsequently, under the sun and amidst the attention of the crowd, the people below did not actually hear the two people's conversation.

Even deep within the hidden clouds in the sky, the gods are watching this place.

Both of their most celebrated heroes, Odysseus and Griffith, resided in Greece.

Moreover, the incident occurred where Griffith was about to execute Odysseus.

This is like a scene that would make even the will of the land of Britain cry out in anguish, like King Arthur wanting to kill Lionheart, Merlin, pshaw...

The hero you're all watching, Hero Number One, is about to kill the hero you're watching, Hero Number Two.

Anyone want to stop this?! Batman v Superman?!

Even Zeus, the king of the gods, hesitated, wondering whether to send Hermes down to earth to stop the execution.

With Hermes's eloquence and divine power, rescuing Odysseus would not be a problem.

At this moment, Ye had already drawn his sword.

Under the cold light, Ye suddenly raised his hand and brought down his knife.

Odysseus was stunned, nearly fainting from fright. He thought he was going to die and was no longer as calm as before.

Then, a sound of the binding ropes falling apart followed.

Odysseus was astonished to find himself free.

Even the person involved was completely stunned.
