Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

The Greeks have a deep-seated admiration for strength, and the same admiration for strength held by neighboring countries that are doing well is simply a matter of passing down the tradition from father to son.

In this social structure, even Griffith, a hero who had been defeated by gods, would become the biggest beneficiary due to his fame.

Everything he does is idealized by others, while the opposite is portrayed as ugly and labeled.

On the contrary, how could Priam, a man who was neither as strong as King Agamemnon nor as powerful, be qualified to lead the many Trojan heroes and be king?

When Priam hesitated to answer, even the people below began to feel disappointed in their king.

If their king, though weak, at least had the courage to give a strong response, even if Priam was still weak, people would have more faith in such a king.

Who wouldn't want their king to be someone who is fearless of authority, confident, resolute, and possesses a strong mindset?

however--

Priam was merely a mortal. If it weren't for his powerful eldest son Hector and his powerful demigod nephew Aeneas protecting him...

These heroes would never obey his orders; they've long since usurped his authority.

He was just an ordinary person; how could he compare to the most brilliant era of Greek heroes, a time when monsters emerged and heroes gathered?

As for the question posed by the night—that's why he couldn't give an immediate answer.

Friends? How could he possibly be friends with this man?! Griffith killed his own son, even if he wasn't a favorite son, he was still his offspring, and he had never even given him any face.

But an enemy?! He dared not answer that they were an enemy! To provoke someone who could kill him at any time and with ease, to regard them as an enemy—!

Priam, being a mortal, wanted to live for two more years.

"Can't answer?" Ye smiled.

Paris: "!! Griffith, don't go too far!"

Seeing his father being forced into such a predicament, Paris could no longer sit still.

A smile appeared on Ye's face—he spread his hands and opened his arms, making a gesture of welcoming the world.

"Then, the same question, Paris! Are you my enemy—or my...friend?"

When faced with a seemingly enthusiastic hero, that smile is actually devoid of warmth.

Paris swallowed hard: gulp!

"I...I am..."

He hated the night more deeply and intensely than Priam. This man had stolen Helen, whom he had longed for, and as a man, he was certainly Griffith's enemy.

But he was also afraid and dared not admit his hostility toward Griffith.

"How ridiculous! Two people who are neither willing to be my friends nor dare to be my enemies. So they are strangers!"

How did things come to this?

The situation was becoming increasingly serious.

Even the countless Trojans below were unsure whether to be angry or laugh at this scene, as Priam and his son had performed so poorly and were far too cowardly.

Although I can understand it, it still makes me want to laugh.

However, Helen, Chrysei, and the others were getting anxious.

Especially the Chrysei sisters, I don't know how they ended up like this.

If things continue like this, even if a war doesn't break out, Griffith won't be able to stay in Troy, will he?

That's definitely not the scene they want to see.

Chrysei immediately said, "My dear uncle! There must be some misunderstanding."

Brices: "Yes, my sister is right, Your Majesty. There must be some misunderstanding between you. Troy and the hero Griffith are eternal friends, aren't they?"

Even Hector finally realized what was happening—

Although shocked by the series of events that had just occurred, he also did not want to see Griffith turn against Troy, so he immediately began to plead with the old king to ease the situation.

However, no one tried to persuade Ye, as if they had all forgotten that this was an option.

It is clear that the weak have no voice.

Faced with Ye's domineering presence, their first thought was to tell the king to just bear with it and let it pass.

Priam: ...!

However, the problem now is not that I am unwilling to make concessions, but that the other side has no intention of staying at all.

That's right, Night doesn't plan to stay in Troy anymore.

Or rather, with his power, even without taking sides, he could still do whatever he wanted.

He possesses enough power to change the world even without the intervention of the gods.

"Lady Artemis, we should go..." Night suddenly called out softly.

Then, amidst the belated shock and realization of countless people—!!

Wait, Artemis?!

Just now, Artemis saw Night's expression and was very angry at these Trojans who had 'wrongly accused' Night.

Well—whether she was wronged or not, she didn't care—anyway, she was extremely angry about it!

Even in hindsight, they realized that Griffith, as a hero, had been unknowingly humiliated.

Why should I need to prove my innocence?

The retinue that Artemis introduced, the heroes who were endorsed by her and Athena, you actually doubt their character.

Questioning Griffith is questioning her (and Athena), so Artemis decided to stop hiding her identity and just now telepathically told Night that she no longer needed to conceal it.

Chapter 204 Never offend the Sun (crossed out) God of Light!

"Artemis... Lady?!" The heroes were all startled.

Meanwhile, many Trojans who were followers of the moon goddess Artemis had already taken the lead in kneeling down, and then the others followed suit in worshipping the goddess.

When I saw the little deer hopping and skipping towards the night on the high platform.

The heroes were stunned.

This—this deer is actually Artemis?!

Damn it...

They had always thought it was Griffith's pet, thankfully... they hadn't said anything bad about the deer!

They had all thought the deer was quite cute before, and thankfully they hadn't had any bad thoughts about it.

For example, I want to eat braised deer head.

If such disrespectful thoughts were detected by Artemis, the goddess, they would be doomed.

Artemis!

The fact that the goddess had been following Griffith all along caused panic among those who had previously questioned or doubted him.

At this moment, the divine deer also spoke, uttering a divine female voice, while emanating a faint divine radiance. Moonlight transformed into a veil and draped over her body. She spared no effort, even using her remaining divine power, to put on a show for Yela.

Artemis the fawn spoke: "Priam! I am so disappointed in you—! I gave you a divine oracle to welcome my servant, who would have helped you lead Troy to victory, but you... you yourself have squandered that victory!"

The moment Artemis spoke, her uncontrollable divinity confirmed her identity.

The goddess's words naturally carry more weight than anyone else's.

Yes! Only then did people realize that the reason they had come out to greet Griffiths was because of the oracle of the goddess of the hunt.

They actually doubted a warrior who had been sent to help them by divine decree.

Isn't this tantamount to doubting the gods?

In an instant, the heroes broke out in a cold sweat.

Even if the gods want to scheme against you, you must never doubt or question them on the surface.

This is the reverence and humility that humans should have towards God.

After all, not all heroes have the courage and strength to confront or disrespect God.

They now suspect that Night is also questioning the Moon Goddess's intentions!

This is blasphemy against God's will.

“I kindly sent Griffith to help you, yet you treat my warrior so cruelly. Now, in the name of the goddess of the hunt and the goddess of the moon, I unleash divine punishment—Priam! You will surely lose this Trojan War, and my brother Apollo will no longer protect you!”

Although it was just a small deer, it exuded boundless divinity at this moment. Its incomparably radiant and sacred demeanor, along with its ethereal and clear voice, immediately captivated everyone.

'She is the deity herself.' Everyone realized this fact.

When they heard Artemis's judgment of Troy, which was nothing short of a curse, everyone present changed their expressions drastically.

The people of Troy were filled with even greater fear and unease.

Without the moon goddess and the protection of the god of light, how could they possibly continue to resist the impending invasion of the god of war and the Greeks?!

No, don't—

Boom~!!

Just as Priam's face showed an expression of utter regret and despair.

Artemis may not have much power right now and be unable to unleash any substantial divine punishment, but she is quite adept at using Alipay's "Huabei" scheme.

First, predict the form in which future punishment will come, then do nothing at all to get something for nothing, and you've successfully broken their spirits, made them collapse, and made them despair!

Winning hearts and minds is the best strategy!

After a deafening roar, a burst of light suddenly appeared in the sky, making the daylight even brighter and turning darkness into daylight. Within the radiance, a figure also appeared in mid-air.

Apollo, the god of light, has descended!

When the second deity appeared, the entire city of Troy was plunged into a deathly silence filled with fear.

Everyone was shocked. Lord Apollo was here too?!

At this moment, the sacred figure in the sky slowly spoke, and an extremely oppressive feeling seemed to spread throughout the city.

“Artemis’s will is my will… Mortals! I have forgiven the folly of your ancestors… In the past, when the walls of this city were being built, your king not only failed to pay the due reward after completion but also drove me out.”

“I did not abandon you because of this, and I still chose to protect you... But how do you treat my sister’s family now? Is this how you repay the God who protected you?”
