Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

The more one thinks, the more one discovers the powerlessness of humanity and the Greeks.

The most fundamental reason is weakness, weakness, weakness, weakness, too weak!

It's like being on completely different levels.

On this final battlefield in Greece, his strength was extremely weak. His wisdom and leadership abilities became the least noticeable and useless in the face of absolute violence.

Now, he's starting to think about things that even he himself could do now.

The reason why Odysseus became the protagonist of Odysseus is that one of his qualities or talents far surpasses that of other heroes.

That is resilience...

Even when facing pursuit by the goddess of justice, the king, like a beggar or a stray dog, drifted on the sea for months, crossing the Aegean Sea, yet he persevered to the end and returned to his country alive.

This strong mental fortitude allowed him to continue thinking and trying to find a way out from countless pieces of information, even when everyone else had given up. In the end, he didn't find a way out, but he made other discoveries.

He listed and analyzed these doubts one by one, and finally came to a terrible conclusion.

...He thought that perhaps this conclusion should be told to the heroes present, so that even if they were defeated and died, they would at least know who they had lost to, otherwise it would be too tragic, wouldn't it?

Although the result was completely unacceptable and unbelievable to Odysseus emotionally, but—"Gentlemen..."

When the man, who once served as the strategist of the Greek coalition, spoke, the heroes turned their gazes toward him.

Hector couldn't help but glance at him a few more times; he knew Odysseus's abilities.

Is that a pipe dream?

But they still hoped that the other party had really come up with a glimmer of hope, even if it was just a tiny bit, otherwise they were indeed about to be crushed by the despair in their hearts.

However, what Odysseus was about to tell them was not what they expected, but rather—

The true identity of the Demon King, Talos!

Chapter 309 Shut up! Do you even understand what it means to have both captivating charm and aspirations for a great cause?

The Demon King... Talos's true... identity?

The hero was completely bewildered, not knowing what Odysseus was trying to express.

What does Talos's identity matter?

Until—the crowd began to hear Odysseus list out the key points and the things that were wrong with the problem.

Suspicion 1 – The timing of the appearance of the Demon King Talos;

Talos, the demon king, officially appeared in Greece and became known to the world after the Trojan War. Before that, no such god had ever been heard of in Greece.

The second point of doubt is that when Athens was captured, the goddess Artemis appeared to have descended specifically for the sake of the demon god. Countless refugees who fled from Athens claimed to have seen that scene, with the goddess and the demon god appearing intimate.

As a pure and innocent virgin goddess, Artemis never showed any interest in male heroes or gods. The only god who could get close to her and have frequent contact with her in the past was Apollo, the god of light, who was her brother and sister.

Numerous heroes: !!!

You're not trying to say that Talos is Apollo, are you?

It seems plausible that the witch Chryseis dedicated the holy sword to her god.

woc!

Before he could finish listing them, Odysseus, equally astonished by the heroes' guesses, was left speechless: ? ? ?

Wait, what the hell are you guys guessing?!

Is Talos Apollo?

Stop making unnecessary assumptions! What kind of absurd logic is this? Wait a minute...

Even he was led astray, and Odysseus silently added Apollo, whom he had not originally suspected, to his list of suspects.

What if—he meant what if—it really was Apollo?

Compared to the possibility he had guessed, he wished that the demon king was Apollo.

Even if the land of Greece were to be destroyed under the glory of the god of light, he would not care; in fact, he would find it far more acceptable than any possibility he had ever imagined.

He was more unwilling to believe, than the destruction and annihilation of the world, that the light that had once redeemed him would eventually degenerate into such a great evil.

Odysseus interrupted these people's increasingly absurd thought processes.

As the god of light, Apollo, even if he has a side that is not illuminated, would not have his divine power reversed to such an absurd degree.

He is one of the twelve Olympian gods worshipped in Athens. He has no animosity towards humans and is not the war-loving type like the God of War, so it is unlikely that he would take action.

Although in Odysseus's mind, the other suspect would never have turned out that way.

But who knows what the other person went through in the underworld...

Talos clearly possesses the power of the god of the underworld.

Suspicion 3 – The Demon King once manipulated the undead in Athens and briefly awakened the Minotaur, the monster king of the previous era.

Then there's the fourth point of doubt—Cryseis's timing is off. After Hector and the others set off, she came to provide support alone. Although she has the blessing of the God of Light, that's all she has.

If even Aeneas could spot the problem, how could Odysseus, as the final strategist of the Greek heroes, not see it? His previous silence was because he knew the odds of winning were too low, so he decided to take a gamble and have a chance.

If you win the bet, you win everything; if you lose, things won't get any worse.

But now it seems they have suffered a crushing defeat.

Returning to the original question, amidst these numerous doubts, there is a clear thread connecting all the doubts.

Odysseus's thinking was very clear.

He is also certainly not lacking in bold assumptions and guesses.

For heroes who aren't detectives, sometimes a valid assumption, coupled with a sufficiently keen intuition, is enough to try and determine some results.

Coming from the underworld proves that they are gods of the underworld, perhaps gods forgotten from ancient times, or perhaps newly born gods.

The timeline is after the Trojan War. If a new god were to be born, then suspicion would only be posed by the spirits of the dead who entered the underworld during this period.

One must have the blessing of Apollo, or a relative blessed by Apollo, and lastly, and most importantly—a close relationship with the goddess Artemis.

In the middle, Aeneas even used his own experience to corroborate the point that Chryseis was not herself.

Ultimately, the only people who meet the criteria and could potentially become Talos are—

"Stop talking..." Agamemnon's face suddenly turned extremely ferocious, and he looked at Odysseus with a murderous gaze.

"Your deduction is absurd and ridiculous, and completely illogical. The only thing that cannot be the Demon King is that person."

When Odysseus looked again, he suddenly stopped talking and found that everyone looked fearful and dejected.

Even when they were brutally beaten by the Demon King Talos and soloed—so badly that even their own mothers wouldn't recognize them—the heroes never showed such a dejected appearance.

At this moment, those people's eyes were filled with unease and resistance.

It's as if someone tells you that your most beloved lover, the gentle and lovely wife you spend every day with, who wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken, turns out to be the most rampant serial killer in the city, as reported in the news. It's unbelievable.

It's even harder to accept than telling the Roundtable and the King's fans that their Knight King has fallen into evil.

Hmm, that analogy is a bit inappropriate.

But at this moment, the heroes' surging, dark emotions were unanimous.

That was a more terrifying blow than mental torture; it was a devastating blow to the soul and faith.

This light captivated almost every hero of the era, including Odysseus himself. Even a selfish scoundrel like him had to admit that he had been moved by the light and desperately tried to catch up with it.

They are the objects of their admiration and respect, and no one can slander or insult them.

It also changed many heroes such as Hector, Agamemnon, and Achilles, serving as a guiding light in their lives.

They had always believed that they were guiding each other forward, and that they had walked hand in hand for a period of time on a certain part of each other's lives.

But in the end, they all found that they had been profoundly affected in the process, and that many of their ideas had changed.

While allure is powerful, it has its limits. Even for a hero with unwavering will, there is always a limit to its temptation.

But what if someone possesses a captivating charm and still manages to accomplish something truly remarkable that commands everyone's attention?

Either one of them possesses an irresistible charm that is hard for ordinary people to resist.

The combined power of these two elements is so devastating that even the most heinous villains would marvel at it, and the most hard-hearted warriors would mourn for that figure, perhaps even shedding tears.

'If it's not Apollo, then it can't possibly be him...!' Agamemnon was so certain of this.

Chapter 310 Only a true savior can wield this; this is the true divine sword of salvation!

This is just a deduction, not a conclusion.

But people's minds can't help but wander in that direction; even heroes who don't accept this reasoning can't help but have doubts.

Odysseus was unwilling to believe such a thing, and he was never willing to believe his own speculation, even trying to let his emotions overwhelm his reason.

This is the first time that the wise man has denied the wisdom he relied on and depended on for his livelihood.

"Hello everyone! How's it going? I've had a few extra soft swan beds added for you all. Make sure you get a good night's sleep, because a tough battle is ahead!"

Just then, a familiar female voice suddenly rang in the heroes' ears.

The voice, which they would recognize even if the person were reduced to ashes, instantly triggered a stress response in someone.

"Cryseiis!!!" Aeneas, who had been relatively calm among the heroes, suddenly became extremely ferocious. He threw a punch in one direction, but it was easily dodged.

"Haha, that won't do! Don't look so fierce. I'm here to help you. I'm on your side. Trust me..."

Before anyone knew it, Chryseis had appeared in the cell.

And then, as if by magic, several soft beds appeared in the room.

Then, turning around and sitting on paopao's soft white sheets, Chrysei crossed one leg over the other, found a comfortable position, and continued speaking.

"Alright, don't rush into action... I'm here to tell you that tomorrow at the coronation ceremony for the founding of Rome, I will release you from your shackles and help you regain your weapons. All you have to do is cooperate with the hero Achilles and the nameless Athena warrior to use the Holy Sword and Holy Lance to defeat the Demon King!"

Chrysei spoke very quickly.

It happened so fast that the heroes didn't even have time to react before they suddenly launched their attack.

The astonishing amount of information contained within successfully stopped the heroes who were about to take action. They all stared wide-eyed, looking as if they had hallucinated.

"What did you say?!"

"Achilles is still alive?!"

"Wait... the Holy Sword, wasn't the Holy Sword already shattered? Why are we being told to continue using the Holy Sword to defeat the Demon King—! What does this mean?"
