Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Suddenly, a series of towering cross-shaped lights flashed across the battlefield.

It looked like a giant cross rising continuously from the clouds.

Ye looked at the distant night sky, towards the direction of the battlefield, at the dazzling fireworks.

“How beautiful!” he exclaimed, and the guards and maids serving him were not afraid at all; instead, their gazes became even more fervent.

Perhaps only their supreme ruler, Lord Talos, would treat the terrifying and awe-inspiring war as art, performing and playing it out.

Ah—how cruel! As awe-inspiring as the wrath of Poseidon, as awe-inspiring as the thunder of Zeus!

But beneath this power that matched the violence, in the eyes of these savage Cretans who believed in the supremacy of the strong, this was the most desirable and enviable landscape.

As one king once said, sitting on that throne makes his subjects yearn for it, long for it, and desire it, thinking, "If only I could be king too," and they openly display their desires without any pretense...

The Cretans of today submit to absolute violence, which they also consider their highest ideal and goal in life.

They were completely unaware that in the eyes of their respected king, they were nothing more than mere mortals.

If one day they lose even their value to Chai Xin, then they will be nothing more than non-combustible garbage and rubbish.

And now, back on the battlefield—

"Now proclaim your demise to Athens, Athenians, your existence is meaningless."

The Roman army will sweep across the entire Greek land, and for thousands of years to come, only one voice will be allowed to exist on this land—"After a large number of cannon fodder self-destructed, they successfully killed a thousand enemies but lost eight hundred of their own, and quickly crushed the last elite of Athens. A black knight commander walked up to the commander of the Athenian army and coldly declared.

The moment his words fell, countless fanatical shouts erupted from behind the Black Knight Commander: "Rome!!!"

That insane will terrified even the Athenians.

"Gentlemen, do you understand how to deal with these defeated Athenians under the watchful eyes of our supreme ruler?" The Black Knight Commander's bloodthirsty and tyrannical gaze seemed to shine through the only gap in his full-coverage helmet, revealing a crimson light.

'Isn't that obvious?' Everyone thought this without a second thought.

The mere thought of the impending destruction of others, of trampling on the dignity and honor of the noble Athenians, both body and soul, was enough to give the Cretans a mental climax.

Countless Cretan soldiers raised their weapons and brought them down hard, shouting, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Destroy their streets, burn their towns, torture and rape their women, and listen to the desperate cries of their defeated comrades!" Night's words seemed to unlock the deepest savagery in the Cretan people.

They relish the pleasure of verbally humiliating and provoking their enemies.

And when they see the enemy's angry or desperate, helpless appearance, oh oh oh—! They seem to be able to experience the wonderful feeling that the Supreme Being spoke of.

This is simply—absolutely incredible, absolutely incredible!!

Faced with the Cretans' cruel words, the Athenians, who had been prepared to surrender due to the vast difference in strength and were temporarily enduring humiliation, were now forced to back down.

After all, there were times when they had to submit to the Cretans.

Even though they were once the elite of the Amazon warriors, they never forgot the fear of being ruled and oppressed by the Cretans more than a decade ago.

Even the old king could only offer up his own son and anxiously await news from Theseus.

However, if it weren't for the Cretans' cruelty in sacrificing Theseus, the Cretan princess wouldn't have taken a liking to this hero and helped him successfully pass the trials, thus beginning the epic saga of Theseus.

Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall.

The scene at this moment is so similar to that of Athens in the past.

When the Athenian commander asked—

Even if we surrender, do they still not intend to let us go?

The Black Knight Commander: "Beasts are not qualified to speak with humans... And in the new Roman Empire, apart from the new Romans composed of us Cretans, the people of other countries are nothing more than an inferior race, whose status is even lower than that of livestock."

In reality, the night has never enacted such a law.

These were words uttered by the Black Knight Commander in a moment of madness.

He believed that such a cruel and supreme adult would surely admire and praise his brilliant idea.

At the same time, the Black Knight Commander also had considerable personal motives involved.

As the first soldiers to serve the Supreme Being and expand the territory for his ambitions, following the absolute law of the strong being supreme, they should be nobles and upper-class people after the establishment of the new kingdom—shouldn't they?

Chapter 279 A Baptism of Thousands of Light Cannons: Your Struggles Are Meaningless and Powerless

The Black Knight Commander's implication was that the Athenians, Spartans, Thebans, Arcadians, and even the Mycenaeans of the past would henceforth be considered inferior beings, even lower than livestock.

To put it simply, it means—'They're not even as good as livestock!'

This astonishing statement stunned even the soldiers standing behind the Black Knight Commander, who suddenly froze.

"You devil—you bastard!!!" the Athenian leader roared in fury!

Feeling humiliated, he stepped forward to attack, but the Black Knight Commander easily snatched his weapon and knocked him down with a single blow. Then, mimicking the scene he had once witnessed of the Supreme Being stepping on the head of Dionysus, he stepped on the head of the Athenian leader.

Then—the Black Knight Commander was ecstatic and intoxicated, as if he had gotten a little closer to the 'god' he believed in. His excited and thrilled feelings made him want to dance and shout.

Ohhhhhhh! ~!

This is the perfect perspective!

While not comparable to the Supreme Being, their perspectives are similar.

How wonderful! Even if I only experienced a fraction of what that great man felt back then, the domineering feeling of ruling, wantonly plundering, and arbitrarily humiliating others' lives is exhilarating!!

"What kind of look is that... Do you think that we, who have been bestowed with power and armor by our supreme and great Demon King Talos, and are adorned with glory, are not qualified to be the masters of you lowly people?"

"Athens is destined to fail. Why? Because you have been abandoned by our gods! Humans who cannot gain the favor of the Supreme Being are destined to not survive well on this newly born land. Therefore—"

"Humans who have not been blessed by Lord Talos are incomplete—! I firmly believe this, and I hereby call upon my fellow countrymen who share the same thoughts to crush all these swine and offer Lord Talos the purest and deepest despair!"

"Ohhhhhh!! Crush, crush, crush, crush!" Finally, the Cretans, realizing what was happening, shouted excitedly in unison.

That's right—!! Ah, yes, that's right!

Given Lord Talos's penchant for despair, perhaps the god would be even more pleased with their presumptuous actions.

Make the enemy feel pain!

It might even cause you pain!

This is the emotion and will they gleaned from the fanatical declaration of that previous demon god.

We are simply carrying out that great man's will in a profound way.

"That's right—!! The Romans are supreme! Crush these Athenian swine!!"

"Crush the pigs! Crush the pigs! Crush the pigs!!"

As the soldiers' emotions grew increasingly fervent, they even seemed to merge into a crimson torrent of steel, a river of blood.

A tremor ensued! The people of Athens were terrified, but their instinct for survival, coupled with the realization that these demons before them were not just empty threats, drove them to confront a different kind of terror.

They suddenly displayed a strong will to survive.

We must not, absolutely must not, allow these demons to invade their homes and harm their families and friends.

Fight on!

Fight to the death! We will never back down; we must fight to the very end!

But then the people of Athens suddenly retaliated.

The soldiers, still shouting wildly, were caught off guard and hadn't even had time to react.

The Athenians, when they unleash their full power, are still quite formidable in combat.

Even if you accidentally hit an enemy, not only will the enemy die from their own explosion, but you will also be killed by the explosion.

But this time, seeing those horrific explosions again, no Athenian backed down.

They wept blood, yet knew in their hearts that they could not retreat, they could not retreat! If they allowed these things, which terrified them even with their words, to be allowed to break through Athens' defenses, these inhuman monsters would surely break through.

What followed was not just Athens, but a catastrophe for the entire Greek world.

At this moment, the brave and fearless warriors who have given their lives are truly shining stars of humanity's will.

Looking from afar at the soldiers who had become obsessed with Dihua and 'understood' his various languages ​​and were leading the charge for them, and at the Athenian warriors who, oppressed by these demons, were bursting forth with the light of hope in their desperate situation.

The night marveled at the radiance emanating from these warriors... and was speechless for the soldiers from Dihua.

but--

That's not enough—that alone is not enough.

The moment when the king of monsters, who was determined to become bloodless and tearless, transformed into the Demon King.

Night had already prepared itself to become the greatest trial and challenge for humankind.

Weaknesses are limited to this level of brilliance, and it is impossible for them to usher in true peace for the Greek world.

If we cannot burst forth with a more brilliant light, then let us vanish into this despairing darkness, accumulating blood and corpses to build towering edifices for the arrival of true hope!

I will not ask for your understanding.

Even in your final moments before death, you harbored hatred and deep resentment towards me!

Although what the soldiers said was cruel...

But Ye had to admit that this was indeed a good declaration to continue to inspire the people of Greece to unite.

then--

As if in response to the soldiers' earlier celebration.

At this crucial moment, Ye made his move.

Countless halos of light unfolded in the void, like the gates of the King's Treasury opening wide, but instead of being golden, they were deep red and dark brown.

It was as black and deep as dried blood.

In this pitch-black darkness where no light is allowed to appear, terrifying beams of true ethereal light are gathering.

The magic in the atmosphere was instantly drained.

A terrifying, muffled, indifferent voice echoed from the heavens, like announcing the fall of civilization, like humanity crushing ants, like God creating a great flood to destroy all things: "Meaningless struggle—let it perish with its light and dust."

The next moment, a light cannon—!!

A terrifying, pitch-black torrent, like a black gun descending, stirring up the world's spiral DNA and disrupting the veins and particles.

The world turned crimson, time stopped, and a sea of ​​black light crashed down upon the Athenian army below.

A deafening roar erupted!
