Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

As Apollo's cold voice rang out, the verdict was pronounced!

The Trojans felt even more ashamed at this moment.

They prostrated themselves on the ground, praying and shouting desperately—they had absolutely no intention of driving away the hero Griffith; it was all an order from King Priam alone!

Even they themselves thought so.

No one wants to admit that someone could be so shameless;

However, Priam instantly vomited blood!

When did he issue such an order?

These mortals, terrified of losing divine protection, abandoned their king without hesitation and now blamed everything on him.

But wasn't it you who spread the rumor that Griffith was sent by Agamemnon?!

Priam, abandoned by the people, felt utterly desperate and powerless.

What does it mean to be afraid of what others say?

Words can become sharp blades, even more so than words, capable of wounding the heart.

Having experienced this sense of betrayal and being questioned, Priam seemed to be able to understand the humiliation that Griffith had suffered.

He would find it even more unacceptable.

Apollo: "In the name of the god of light, I hereby inflict divine punishment—from this day forward I will no longer protect Troy, and darkness will shroud this land. Your land will never again receive the sunlight, and will become unsuitable for planting and growth. This punishment will last until Priam dies!"

When Priam and the others heard about this punishment, they were as if struck by lightning.

Compared to unseen and intangible prophecies, Apollo's tangible punishment was far more severe.

Is the land no longer suitable for planting due to lack of sunlight?

That means they will no longer be able to develop agriculture, and the Trojans will have to trade for food from other countries.

But all the food for the Trojans had to be imported from abroad. How much was that?

How much economic resources are needed to fill this gap in order to feed the population?

Faced with this astronomical figure, Priam truly fainted this time.

Wow! Apollo is too ruthless!

At this moment, everyone felt despair at the punishment, while some noticed the sinister intentions in Apollo's words.

This curse will last until Priam dies.

So--

What if Priam died an unnatural death, but rather passed away prematurely?

Then the curse can even vanish before it even arrives.

They are not without hope of cracking the code.

night:! !

That's ruthless, Apollo!

Moreover, it's no wonder that in the future, people will always confuse you with the sun god Helios.

Although the God of Light controls all the power of light, he also controls some of the power of darkness on the shaded side. Where there is light, there will naturally be shadow.

But sunlight should have originally belonged to the sun god.

Now, however, Apollo has also taken it to a whole new level.

Indeed, the powers of the sun and light are highly compatible.

Chapter 205 Paris is Jealous: Bro, whose brother are you anyway? Why are you always on the other side?

Apollo could have dealt with the Trojans in the same way he dealt with the Greeks.

He can bring plagues to the earth, plunging everyone into the suffering of disease without the sun.

Just like the Black Death that swept across Europe, killing hundreds of millions of people until no one could infect them anymore.

How terrifying was the power of the Black Death?

In the land deprived of sunlight, a third of England's population died in the disaster.

In less than three months, from June to August of 65, London’s population decreased by a third.

Even Russia was not spared from this disaster, with the Grand Duke of Moscow and the leader of the Orthodox Church dying one after another.

The explanation in the adjacent miniature world is that from 15 to 45 years ago, almost no sunspot records were observed. This period is known as the prolonged sunspot minimum, and the entire European Middle Ages were plunged into the darkest Little Ice Age.

According to the Black Death Demon King from the neighboring world, the sun has entered a period of inactivity, creating an environment where the world is no longer suitable for survival.

During this period, various natural disasters, such as strong tides, volcanic activity, influenza, and plagues, frequently occurred.

In the world of War God, who also lost the sun god, the moment Helios died, endless locusts brought a plague and swarms that swept across the world.

In the Norse pantheon, the death of Baldr, the god of light, marks the beginning of Ragnarok.

The earth, devoid of light, falls into absolute cold and desolation, and various disasters are reborn... The destructive power of the gods of light and the sun god to the world and to civilization is even more terrifying than that of the gods in various mythological worlds.

He could have completely destroyed Troy, but instead he chose this torturous form of divine punishment.

Or perhaps Apollo was very rational; his divine punishment was never directed at the Trojans, but rather at a small minority.

Although he brought down divine punishment, he also gave the Trojans an opportunity.

That's right, as long as they choose to abandon a small number of people.

Now, Priam, who symbolizes the minority, has completely fainted.

He could no longer imagine what kind of dark world he would face next.

finally--

Griffiths took Artemis away.

Before leaving, he glanced in the direction of Laodick and the others, but did not invite them to leave with him.

With Laodike protecting them, Night didn't need to worry about their safety, and given the current situation, Night was already preparing to leave Troy...

When he turned to leave that night, no one dared to stop him.

With Apollo, the god of light, and Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, present, who would dare to defy the will of these two deities?

Odysseus, belatedly realizing what was happening, hurriedly grabbed his sword and followed.

If he doesn't take advantage of this time to run, he won't have a chance to leave once the Trojan heroes realize what's happening.

And until Griffith and Odysseus both departed—!

Apollo's figure disappeared into the sky.

The gods in heaven were relieved to see that Odysseus was still alive, and as for Priam? Who cared what happened to him?

However, with the departure of Ye and the others, the panic in Troy did not dissipate but instead intensified.

From this day forward, Troy will be plunged into its darkest age.

No matter how hardworking the farmers were, they could not cultivate even a single acre of fertile land in Troy.

The gods never responded to them.

So—divine punishment has already descended?!

The divine punishment of Apollo and Artemis was not earth-shattering, but the subtle, pervasive fear from the distant future exerted a far stronger psychological pressure on people.

When Priam awoke shortly afterward, he heard that many people in the capital were already opposing him.

This made Priam feel even more disoriented.

And misfortunes never come singly—

Although Laodick could protect the women of the night, the Red Dragon Queen couldn't bear the thought of not having her mana replenished or her daily milk drink after realizing someone had left.

This won't do! The meal ticket's gone! Chase after it!

When the guards discovered that Helen had disappeared from the palace.

Paris immediately realized something was wrong. He ran to find Raodick and learned that Helen had not been there. Thinking of Griffith, who had already left, Paris suddenly realized something.

He hurriedly went to plead with his father, the king, to bring Helen back!

This is the second piece of bad news!

The Trojan royal family's face was slapped hard.

Even Hector, who believed that the royal family was not on the side of justice in this matter, remained silent after learning that Helen had also left, from the moment Griffith left when the gods descended to punish him.

At this moment, we see the father and son, enraged by Helen's escape.

'Helen, did you choose Griffith?' Hector's expression was complicated, his heart heavy with sorrow. His brother had ultimately lost.

However, if his opponent was Griffith, and considering that handsome yet bewitching face, he felt it was quite normal.

At the same time, he never expected that his vision of fighting alongside Griffith would be completely shattered in less than a few days.

But at this moment, Hector felt no anger towards Griffith.

Hector knew all too well the agonizing life that former Spartan princess had endured in Troy.

He was always distracted by caring for his sister-in-law, but unfortunately, his brother Paris didn't know how to take care of a woman's feelings. He was no different from other heroes who treated women as playthings and things they could discard at any time.

He couldn't see any sense of responsibility in Paris.

When the King of Sparta came to reclaim Helen and challenged him to a duel, Paris was unable to stand up as a husband and a man to bravely confront his rival.

From that moment on, Hector and I felt that perhaps the two of us were really not suitable for each other.

It's good that Helen has left to pursue her own happiness.

“Give up on Helen. Perhaps you should learn to let go, Paris,” the kind-hearted Hector said suddenly after a moment of silence.

Hector was a man of excessively high moral character.

So noble that he always thought of others, even ignoring the humiliation that Griffith and Helen's actions brought to the Trojan royal family.

He believed that if his brothers hadn't tried to harass Helen, Griffith wouldn't have intervened to save her, and that Helen might have even fallen in love with Griffith because of this act of heroism.

It's perfectly understandable that the two of them would get together.
