Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

The beauty of the divine deer leaping through the forest under the beautiful sunset was even more delightful than the first time I had ever seen it.

More beautiful and radiant than the fiery clouds that witness the sunset amidst the flowers, adorned with a crown to adorn an innocent soul.

This unwavering commitment, choosing you and protecting your heart, is perhaps the most beautiful color in this world.

Faced with such a hero, what words of reproach could she possibly utter?

At this moment, for Artemis, this was the first hero in her life who not only flirted with her but also made her personally admit that she had feelings of impure emotions and a desire to take things further.

Even though Artemis was very close to Night before, she never admitted to having any extra feelings for her.

But now she can no longer escape.

There is no more classic example of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress than the figure who risked her life to save her from Zeus's thunderbolt.

If it's for such a hero, perhaps breaking a vow is worthwhile—

Just as Artemis couldn't help but have such thoughts for him that would never have occurred in thousands of years.

"Artemis, do me one last favor!" Night said.

“Okay…!” Artemis agreed almost without thinking.

At this moment, she would agree to any conditions the other party proposed, even if it was something she couldn't consider.

It was a fleeting, shy emotion that the goddess herself would never normally experience.

But, is this the 'last' favor?

Chapter 218 An outrageous demand, a price tag that no one intended to agree to.

The goddess waited until the hero spoke.

She would seriously consider any request.

Even proposing a love affair with a goddess would break the eternal vow of purity witnessed by Zeus, the king of the gods.

Artemis's heart trembled—!

However, she also knew that Ye probably didn't want to talk about that kind of thing.

Aside from someone obsessed with romance, who would be thinking about falling in love with someone on the battlefield?

Artemis: Ugh!

—I'm definitely not love-struck! Yes, that's right.

She's the most difficult woman to win over in all of Greece. You can't show her any affection or dislike, and you can't flirt with her. But if you don't flirt with her, then there's even less chance of winning her over, right?

...Therefore, it is difficult to win the favor of this goddess.

But there is one person who can break the mold and enter your heart.

“Artemis—with these eyes, bear witness for me. How I wish to end this war!” A flame burned in his night eyes, and in that moment of intimidation over all the heroes of Greece and Troy combined, he finally decided to put his fleeting idea into practice.

There is no such thing as lasting peace in the world, but there is such a thing as temporary stability and order.

All of this is predicated on the premise that one side is powerful enough to deter and suppress all dissenting voices.

Whether it's due to pure violence or almost supernatural wisdom—as long as one of them is something that everyone fears and reveres.

Under the threat of that fear, people's thoughts and behaviors are shackled, and they dare not overstep the bounds.

“Griffiths—?” Artemis looked at him blankly.

—End this war? Now?

But—what should we do? Why did we suddenly bring up such a heavy topic?

Especially now that he belongs neither to Greece nor Troy, he shouldn't need to get involved in such matters anymore, right?

Then she saw Night walk up to the people and shout to the heroes, thus declaring—!

"With Artemis, my chief goddess, as my witness, let us both lay down our weapons for now and hear what I have to say!"

The heroes' attention was immediately drawn to this, and they listened quietly, eager to see what Griffith would have to say.

Night continued, "In the name of Lista Night Griffith, I want to end this endless, ultimate war."

This was the first time people learned of Griffith's full name.

But more than the name, people were concerned about what Ye Hou said: 'To end this war?'

Achilles, Hector, Agamemnon, and many other heroes all looked up at the direction of the night, their hearts trembling.

Does Griffith intend to continue the final battle right here?

They subconsciously believed that the only way a war could end was by the victory or defeat of one side.

For the Greeks, a war was meaningless unless it ended in victory.

Even though it often ends in sadness and pain, they are willing to give up anything for glory.

That's what they originally told themselves.

But clearly, that's not the case...

In reality, many heroes were already tired of this war, not to mention that many were forced into it in the first place and did not want to fight it.

Thus, this gave Ye a chance to influence and shake the heroes' will with his next words.

"Many heroes have died in this Trojan War, and even the gods have joined the battle. Now this battlefield is a huge slaughterhouse. Every day, women lose their husbands and children lose their fathers. I don't think that's right."

"Many people are crying, sad, angry, and hateful. All the negative emotions are spreading here, and everything is so shocking, as if the world is only filled with pain."

“I know that many of you do not want to participate in this war, but you are being swept up by the tide, and more and more people who were originally unrelated to this war are being dragged into it.”

"I want to end this pointless war. To that end—I will lead the negotiations. The choice to end this tragic world is now in your own hands!"

End the war!

So, Griffith's proposed method of ending the conflict wasn't to directly ignite a decisive battle, but rather... to peacefully resolve the dispute?

For a moment, people were stunned, but then the heroes remembered.

Griffiths probably joined the war initially for similar reasons, wanting to end it as quickly as possible.

He really does yearn for peace!

“…Okay.” Agamemnon was the first to agree, willing to give Night face.

He looked at the night with a complicated expression.

Although the real cause of this war depended more on King Agamemnon's choices.

If it weren't for his own desire to expand his territory and attack Troy, Helen would have been just an excuse. Even without the abduction of Helen, Agamemnon was always committed to expeditions in the original history.

However, in the past, because there was no suitable reason, his subordinates collectively protested and rejected him, arguing that it was a waste of time, money, and effort.

This is recorded in the description of Agamemnon.

But now that things have come to this point, not only Agamemnon, but everyone else is willing to give Night a chance to see how he can persuade both sides and get a result that everyone can accept.

On the Trojan side, Hector, as their representative, also agreed.

The heroes from both sides then gathered with Night City, who had become a third party, for a meeting.

At this moment, no one mentioned Helen behind the night. Even though this most beautiful woman in Greece was in front of them, no heroes' eyes lingered on her. Instead, they all looked at the man in the lead.

The most dazzling and glorious figure on this battlefield today—the hero 'Griffith'!

At this moment, even the gods in the heavens became curious...

Because the previous battle ended too hastily, and unlike Artemis and Helen, they were not present to experience it firsthand, the gods did not yet realize that the hero Jupiter, whom they had defeated earlier, was their great god-king, Zeus.

At this moment, the gods still had the mind to wonder what Griffith was going to do.

They knew perfectly well that the true decision-maker regarding whether this war would end was none other than their king of the gods, Zeus!

It can be said that the gods put in a lot of effort to make this war so intense.

Because the two sides had already fought so fiercely and suffered such great losses, even losing many demigods, the gods believed that humanity alone could not reconcile such a deep conflict.

as predicted--

The two heroes, once gathered together, glared at each other with eyes that seemed to spit fire, brimming with hostility.

Many of them had their relatives or friends killed by the enemy's heroes during the war.

How can such hatred be reconciled under normal circumstances?

Night: Then let's use unconventional methods—!

Taking advantage of the intimidating presence of his absolute strength, Ye Ye had no intention of engaging in any verbal sparring with these people.

He previously demanded an end to the war, suggesting that both sides could propose their desired conditions and see if the other side would accept them.

Agamemnon demanded a large sum of money from the Trojans. He didn't mention returning Helen, but it was obvious to everyone that Helen was now following Night, so he might as well just ask for some money.

But Agamemnon, who came with the intention of conquering Troy, naturally made outrageous demands, with no intention of letting Troy even consider accepting them.

Hector, on the other hand, reacted very strongly.

Chapter 219 Madman! Absolutely unacceptable! This is tantamount to the destruction of Troy.

Even the Trojans, who initially intended to settle things peacefully and even planned to return the treasures they had stolen from the Spartan king, were not immune to this.

The war continued because the government refused to return Helen.

But the situation is different from that time.

Now, Troy has also lost many warriors in this war, their women have lost their husbands forever, and their children have lost their fathers forever. The seeds of hatred are spreading among them.

Even the Trojans wouldn't give up so easily.

Both sides wanted nothing more than to tear a piece of flesh from the other, or at least a piece of wealth of equal value.

Under such circumstances, how could they possibly negotiate terms that would satisfy both sides?

however--

Night stated directly, "I'm not having a serious discussion with you. Of course—if we were to have a serious discussion, this war would be difficult to end."

Night knew that the gods were pulling the strings behind the scenes, and if things went according to procedure, the war could only end when one side was completely defeated.

So he chose an unorthodox method! He forcibly ended the war with force!

When they saw the extremely tough attitude, as if they would summon Gundam—cough, Giant Warrior—at the slightest provocation and give them a good thrashing, Ye.
