Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Because of their connection with the night, they were able to come together successfully this time.

Most importantly, the rebels this time included Hades himself. Having witnessed the near destruction of the Underworld by Zeus and the fact that his own forces were all Zeus's men, Hades, even as a clay figure, was enraged.

This powerful lineup has even tempted many neutral gods.

That's how Helios and his ilk were—

Their father has already chosen the wrong side once. If he remains neutral again, their fate will likely be grim regardless of who wins in the future.

They never considered siding with Zeus, as Helios and his ilk were well aware of Zeus's cold-heartedness.

Thus, Zeus, the king of the gods, was once again attacked by his subordinate gods, and was furious!

Even though he was quite used to it, Zeus would turn a blind eye to the occasional rebellion of the gods, as long as it didn't really threaten his divine position, treating it all as a joke.

But facing so many powerful gods at the same time, even Zeus felt some pressure.

Before he was ready to completely break off relations, Zeus was entangled and blocked at Olympus.

This is also why he did not appear when Dionysus died.

Through divine power, he quickly grasped the meaning conveyed by Artemis and understood what had happened on Earth during his absence. He was astonished that Artemis and her companions would dare to provoke the king of the gods for his sake.

Zeus treasured his throne the most.

He could tolerate Athena and Poseidon's past squabbles...

But this time, almost half of the Olympian gods rebelled. Even the other two kings of the gods in the heavens, on earth, and in the sea rebelled against him at the same time.

Chapter 289 Three in a Thousand: Does the Win Rate Come From the Enemy Themselves? An Absurd Divination Result

This level of betrayal is enough to drive that god-king completely mad. If he loses his temper, he might kill all the Olympian gods to eliminate these traitors, no matter how impressive Artemis and her allies are now.

However, in many mythological accounts, Zeus is portrayed as being able to defeat all the chief gods single-handedly.

Knowing full well that this would cross Zeus's bottom line, it was a move that was completely walking a tightrope. Even when the goddess of wisdom, Athena, and the others took action before, it was only to test the waters, knowing that Zeus would not really do anything to them.

But this time even Athena lost her mind and went all in to confront this god-king father.

It's easy to imagine the immense conviction these goddesses held, driving them to fight to the death to save themselves.

Thinking of this, I was deeply moved by their sacrifices.

Hmm—they.

Apollo and other male gods were once again subconsciously ignored.

The goddesses fight for him, while the gods are just ambitious opportunists who want to take advantage of his power.

Yes, that's right, it's a double standard.

(Apollo: No!! I was trying to save you too, Son of Man! Waaah, look at me!!)

Will you really take a break? You've lost love, haven't you?

Artemis came quickly and left quickly; her main fighting force was to deal with Zeus.

Sensing the presence of night, she temporarily created an avatar to descend, which increased the pressure on the other gods. Now, she needs to use this power to rush back.

Zeus and all the gods are currently tied up and have no time to attend to the situation on Earth, which is good news for the Night.

Without divine interference, nothing on the Greek continent could stop him anymore.

Before leaving, the Moon Goddess—though unaware of Night's current plans—chose to unconditionally trust her familiars and support them…

Greece has entered its darkest hour.

There is nothing more terrifying or frightening than the fact that one's own god is standing behind the other side.

The time was three days after the fall of Athens—

The war did not stop, and soon Thebit, Pylos, and Arcadia were conquered and fell to the Black Knights' army.

The surviving small states banded together for survival, fearing that their kingdoms would become the next target and be completely wiped off the map of Greece.

Much of the land south of Greece, which should have belonged to the Peloponnese, had fallen into ruin, and now only the Spartans in Laconia remained.

Instead of waiting to be defeated, they took the initiative to gather all their troops and head north to the Argos Mountains to join forces with the troops of other small countries, creating a massive defensive line along the mountains and the Gulf of Corinth from Argos to Corinth.

Meanwhile, the kingdom's elite forces, led by numerous heroes, blocked the way at Megara—

The only land route from the continent of Athens and Thebes, aside from the Corinthian Gulf and the sea route, was to confront the army personally led by the legendary demon god.

Two long-term battles have begun!

If it weren't for this enormous crisis that united all the nations, this magnificent spectacle would likely never have been seen in Greece in its lifetime.

Even the heroes far away in Troy sent reinforcements from afar...

When Agamemnon questioned and doubted why the Trojans had come to their aid.

Not long ago, they were enemies, and Greece and Troy even had a blood feud that nearly led to the destruction of their nation.

If it weren't for that arrow—!

Hector simply replied: "Because I understand the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold!"

If Greece falls, won't Troy be next?

When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken.

Agamemnon first learned this principle from Griffiths, who had told it to Hector.

Agamemnon fell silent for a long time, but ultimately chose to believe Troy once more.

No, he didn't believe in Troy, but in—Griffith!

Furthermore, he overheard Hector saying that the peace that Griffith had fought so hard to establish must not be allowed to lose its meaning.

Given Griffith's kind nature, he was determined not to see the Greek land ravaged by war.

Agamemnon never imagined that one day he would find himself in agreement with the heroes of Troy on some point.

When Greece was embroiled in conflict, Agamemnon, who should have been the most ambitious and always eager to stir up trouble and launch expeditions, was the one least willing to let war rage on.

He never imagined that what would be even more terrifying than Greece being engulfed in war was the appearance of the demon Talos!

With the addition of the Trojans...

Having fought each other on the battlefield before, and knowing each other's strength firsthand, both sides, who genuinely admired each other, felt more confident about the upcoming battle.

But it might sound ridiculous.

The heroes were well aware of their own limitations; their goal was not to defeat the evil god Talos in one fell swoop, but to risk everything for a chance to catch their breath and communicate with the demon king Talos.

They staked all the remaining fighting force of Greece, and the power of all the heroes of Greece, just for a chance.

'If all the heroes and demigods could unite as one, and with powerful warriors like the Spartans, and if this strength were cleverly utilized, along with the enemy's ambition to conquer the Greek world—rather than pure destructive desire…then communication with the gods would no longer be a pipe dream!'

No wonder many heroes felt powerless and desperate, overwhelmed by the immense pressure and unable to breathe.

After all, the twelve Olympian gods seem to have vanished without a trace. Even when Athens was destroyed, such a momentous event, the Olympian gods did not appear.

The only one who appeared was Artemis, the moon goddess, who was so close to the enemy, her stance ambiguous.

There are even rumors that Artemis almost used her divine power to transform into a bow and cannon from distant space to destroy the earth in order to find the other party.

Considering the worst-case scenario, the supreme deity might not only not be on their side, but could even side with the enemy.

They will not only have to face Talos, the demon king who killed Dionysus and annihilated Athens—a demon god and a demon king—but also the powerful goddess of the hunt, Artemis!

Agamemnon ordered his astrologers, high priests, and prophets to frantically divine the outcome of the battle.

Almost everyone gave the same answer.

The win rate is less than three in a thousand!

Theoretically speaking, the win rate should have been zero, but for some reason, it has now reached at least three.

And the reason for this is even more absurdly attributed to the enemy.

That is to say-

Greece has only a 0.3% chance of winning, and the reason for this victory has nothing to do with the efforts of Greece itself. No matter how hard they fight and how much they exert their strength, it will have no impact on the outcome.

Is it possible that the factors determining whether or not we can win depend on something like the enemy giving us a handout?

What kind of ridiculous divination is this? Are you sure there were no problems with the divination process? But under what circumstances would all the diviners simultaneously arrive at the same absurd conclusion?

Chapter 290 The Inner Sea of ​​the Stars? Heroes Tricked into Forging Holy Swords and Holy Spears

When the divination results came out, all the heroes frowned.

I cannot understand this intriguing result.

Agamemnon and Hector remained silent, seemingly pondering something but unwilling to acknowledge their suspicions.

In a world where gods truly exist, these sages' prophecies are not just pure superstition!

Even kings and heroes never underestimated the outcome of prophecies.

Regardless, the win rate is three in a thousand.

For a time, Greece, which had just regained much of its morale thanks to the addition of many Trojan heroes, was beginning to feel a sense of despair again.

There's absolutely no hope for the future!

"Ladies and gentlemen... it's not time to despair yet." Just then, a clear and gentle female voice rang out.

Like a clear spring, it washes away people's worries and soothes the soul with its magical power.

It was as if a god had descended, bringing with it all sorts of magical qualities.

The next moment, the king and the heroes saw a female figure slowly walk in through the gate.

When the other person lifted the hood on their head, revealing a delicate and pretty face.

“Crysei?! How did you get here?” Hector exclaimed in disbelief.

The enemy was not among the Trojan expedition's entourage.

Who is that dreamy, sky-blue long hair? Isn't it my cousin?

But at this moment, Chrysei's eyes held a mysterious, dreamlike quality, like the stars in the sky.

She ignored her 'brother' and instead smiled, lifted her skirt, and bowed slightly, saying, "Greetings, everyone... By the decree of Apollo, the God of Light, Chryseis has come to offer a strategy for defeating the Demon King Boros!"

*Gulp!* Swallowing saliva.
