Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Hector and his companions, bound together, were extremely anxious and even considered breaking free of their ropes.

Even knowing that breaking free of the ropes would signal the start of war, the black knights and demon kings certainly wouldn't let them run rampant.

But now...

Just as the Black Knight approached, he didn't actually intend to make a move. Although he was already somewhat unable to suppress his brutal sadistic desires, this was His Majesty's founding ceremony, and the day their great and powerful Holy Roman Empire was established. It was not appropriate to shed blood.

however--

The people, however, rioted out of excessive fear.

Just as the Black Knights were about to forcibly suppress the disturbance, and one of them reached out to grab a fleeing civilian, he shouted: "Hey! Stop!! You lowly pig!"

But the next moment, Boom!

A terrifying sound, like thunder in fury, suddenly erupted from the sky.

Following closely behind, countless golden beams of light descended from the sky like a rainbow rain, sweeping across the entire plaza.

Black Knights: What?!

Chapter 312 Look up at the heavens, for your death has arrived and is right there!

What is that?!

The dazzling light, like a pulse, swept across the land in an instant, so fast that the Black Knights didn't even have time to feel it.

By the time they saw the light in their retinas, the attack had already been underway for a long time, until the dull burning sensation finally came.

"Aa ...

The place had long been scorched and burned away by the radiance, leaving nothing behind.

His arm—his arm!!

The rain of light covered a very large area, but it did not affect the ordinary people in the square, suggesting it was a targeted attack.

In an instant, all the heroes raised their heads, their pupils contracting.

—They're here!

Is this what they're hoping for?

The next moment, a golden light suddenly shone on the horizon, and the golden light even caused the atmosphere to ripple.

Even the Demon King raised his head in the square...

At that very moment, Chryseis, who was beside him, suddenly flashed away, pulled a magic wand from her bosom, and shouted: "Look to the heavens, Demon King! Your death has arrived! It is there—! Heroes, now is the time to rise up in rebellion!"

As she spoke, countless dazzling white beams of light suddenly emanated from Chryseis's staff. With a wave of her hand, the beams shot out and struck the heroes on the stone pillars.

When the glory faded, the heroes had already broken free from their shackles and were now armed with various weapons.

at the same time--

Golden light descended from the sky, landing directly on the armed forces.

Chrysei: "Go quickly, heroes. Your weaponry has been enhanced by the radiance of the Holy Lance, and the added concepts are all the divinely created weaponry you are most familiar with. (You have been enhanced, go!)"

Hector gripped his spear tightly. The enhanced ordinary spear gave him the feeling of holding a familiar divine spear again.

Is this the power of the Holy Lance? Unbelievable!

The final chance for a desperate comeback has truly arrived...

The black knights looked on in shock and fury at the astonishing change before them: "Your Majesty the Demon King!!"

"Guards—!! Protect His Majesty the Demon King!!"

They never expected that foolish woman—Cryseiis—would betray them at the crucial moment…!

Did they think they could defeat their invincible supreme ruler like this?

What a foolish choice!

They naturally heard Chryseis's words, but they didn't take them seriously. They were just a group of heroes, and even if they obtained divine weapons, what difference did it make? They were still not as good as a single hair on His Majesty the Demon King's head.

This level of combat power is nothing to fear!

But they still consider this sudden action a disgrace, a failure of their Black Knights' protection!

It's unbelievable that the founding ceremony of the nation has turned into such a chaotic mess.

however--

The Black Knights, who had just thought that the current situation was not so daunting.

The next moment, something terrifying was about to fall from outer space.

A terrifying spiral of light suddenly appeared among the stars, coming from the distant horizon of the cosmos. As if it had locked onto something, it drew ever closer under its guidance, its target being the capital of Mycenae.

The terrifying myriad phenomena were all shaken by the rumbling sound—like Thomas the Tank Engine that had gone off track and was hurtling down without turning back, and an incredibly thick spiral of golden light, as if divine punishment was about to descend!

Closer, closer—!

Finally, they reached a distance where people and all living things on earth could be clearly seen.

"What...what is that?!" Someone looked up at the sky in horror.

A golden pillar of light, wreathed in dazzling golden flames, was burning as it broke through the atmosphere. No one would doubt that this ferocious attack could flatten the entire continent in an instant.

The heroes were also horrified when they saw that scene.

Does this mean they're going to be killed along with them?

Damn it——!

The Black Knights were so terrified by the overwhelming force that they fell silent and froze in place.

At this moment, a sacred and stirring song resounded in the air, as if the world was celebrating and actively welcoming the coming blow of divine punishment.

Everything will be destroyed in a grand, divine strike—returning to its origin.

The tense and exciting song gradually filled the entire sky, turning the enormous divine spear into a golden light—the radiance of the Holy Spear!

At this moment, everyone who witnessed this scene was convinced that the title of the strongest divine weapon was truly well-deserved!

At the critical moment, a detached voice rang out.

"Holy Sword—Unfurl…!"

The next moment, countless shimmering light shields appeared directly on the surface of the entire Mycenaean land, attaching to the ground and the people, but not to the enemies.

In the end, it was like putting a thin layer of clothing on the planet.

Having unleashed such a terrifying attack, they would naturally have considered how to protect our personnel. The power generated by the thirteen restraints on the Holy Sword is both a restraint and the best shield.

Rumble—!

Under this bombardment, which can be described as a Greek god-era version of a sky-based orbital cannon, the earth was shattered!

The moment the attack landed, it was as if the earth itself was being obliterated, and a massive, scorching pillar of light rose up, reaching from the sky to the earth. The pillar continued to expand, eventually spreading outwards from Mycenae, but then, under the influence of a mysterious force, it retreated and did not continue to affect other continental plates.

However, this does not mean that its destructive power and lethality have disappeared.

In that world that resembled a furnace, the Black Knights were instantly burned to ashes, leaving not even charred remains.

When the blinding light and heat dissipated, what people saw before them was a hellish scene, a blood-red hell.

In order to protect the people, the last bit of protection for the site was inevitably reduced, which resulted in the ground being covered in ruins and crimson after the shot, with flames still crackling and scorching the earth.

What a terrible blow.

Just as the heroes were marveling and in awe, the sound of galloping hooves echoed across the sky.

Then, whoosh!

A figure leaped down directly from Pegasus's chariot.

The moment it landed, the first thing people saw was the golden spiral spear in its hand, which immediately captivated them.

"The Holy Lance!" That thought flashed through the minds of all the heroes.

Only then did they notice the appearance of its current user—"Achilles!!!"

The heroes exclaimed his name with ecstasy, but for some reason, Achilles was wearing a mask, as if trying to hide something. If the mask were to fall off, he might no longer be able to suppress the emotions that were about to be released.

Even though he had just unleashed such a terrifying attack and possessed such immense power, the divine spear he wielded felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and his arm trembled almost imperceptibly.

The heroes recognized him because of his physique, his iconic attire, and his fighting posture.

Chapter 313 I am the army; even if the odds of winning are one in a billion, shall we give it a try?

The heroes did not notice Achilles' unusual behavior.

But now that the Holy Lance has appeared, what about the Holy Sword?! Shouldn't it be the Holy Sword's turn to make its appearance next?

Where is the Holy Sword Wielder?

The heroes who finally began to believe that Chryseis was on their side were all invigorated and inspired like never before.

Only then, upon careful reflection, did they remember what the other party had said—that the plan was only being implemented now, and that they even had to feign compliance with the Demon King, all in order to wait for a final external ally!

It seems to be—Athena's… warrior?!

Besides the deceased Diomedes, what other valiant warriors, heroes qualified to wield the holy sword, were under the command of the goddess Athena?

Chryseis previously stated that it's not humans who choose divine artifacts, but rather the artifacts that choose their wielders; that is, using this most powerful divinely crafted weapon requires the weapon's self-approval…

How could the other heroes not be curious about the hero who had surpassed them all to obtain the right to wield the Holy Sword? Some even harbored a secret desire to have a good match with him.

Which hero isn't proud and arrogant? They won't believe Chryseis's one-sided words until they've tried it themselves. Maybe they could gain the Holy Sword's approval if they were sent to try it.

Compared to Achilles' well-known strength, if this warrior of Athena performs poorly and fails to gain their approval...

Hector had already led the heroes to surround the Demon King.

Ready to fight alongside Achilles at any time...

Perhaps it was the fact that after fighting the Demon King for so long, they had finally succeeded in defeating him and annihilating his Black Knight Legion. This exhilarating result left the heroes unable to calm down for a long time. One of the heroes couldn't help but say, "Demon King! Surrender... Your army has been completely destroyed, and now you are all alone."

The Demon King embarks on a solitary pilgrimage across the crimson ruins where not even corpses remain.

no doubt--

Although the massive attack was terrifying and wiped out a large number of enemies, it failed to leave the slightest mark on this supreme, powerful, and evil demon king. Even the crimson cloak behind his armor remained intact, billowing and fluttering in the warm breeze.

Faced with such clamor, the Demon King on the other side did not respond immediately. Instead, he remained aloof and composed, slowly raising one hand on his throne. His cloak fluttered in the hot wind, and the next moment, he suddenly released a violent deathly aura pressure from his body, a pressure that seemed to make the entire air suddenly heavy.
