Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

The heroes felt as if their limbs and bones had been filled in an instant, and suddenly they became heavy.

It feels so bad—it's so hard to breathe!

How terrifying! It felt as if a knife was hanging over their necks, ready to fall at any moment. In a moment of distraction, they even saw themselves being hanged, beheaded, or blown to pieces—all sorts of deaths.

The body is under immense pressure, which can even induce the illusion of death.

If it weren't for the divine weapons in their hands unleashing their power at the crucial moment, radiating a warm, golden light that awakened them, perhaps their physical bodies would have died first, followed by their souls.

After all, if the body feels that it is 'dead' and its bodily functions stop working, even they can't save it.

After facing this demon king up close—

The heroes then realized that they had underestimated the power of this mighty demon god...

Hiss! Hiss!

Startled awake, the heroes, belatedly realizing what had just happened, looked in fear at the dark figure.

At this moment, 'Demon King Talos' finally spoke, and his opening statement was a bombshell, a fearless declaration delivered with an incomparably cold and domineering demeanor: "Oh? The military force—all destroyed? Hmph, heh ...

He sneered—

Demon King: "No, that's why—humans, you still don't understand what kind of being your enemy truly is. So let me tell you."

The so-called Demon King is an irreconcilable enemy, someone who opposes the entire world.

—A numerical disadvantage? Ha, don't make a fool of yourself! What kind of demon king can't fight ten thousand alone!

Boom~! ! !

The moment he finished speaking, Night opened his cloak, and with a wave of his hand, countless black, blood-like liquids swept out like rain, eventually covering the entire sky and earth.

When the raindrops finally fell, they suddenly transformed into countless dark knight figures.

But compared to the Black Knights of the past, the newly appeared knights are all more grotesque, twisted, and bizarre in appearance, like monsters crawling out of hell.

And this is the true form of the Abyss Black Knight!

One man can command an army!

Those black knights were all embodiments of the power of night, and the entire street was instantly filled with countless figures of black knights.

Hiss~! !

Hearing the absolute domineering words, and witnessing the terrifying reappearance of the astonishing military force.

The heroes' hearts were once again deeply shaken and impacted.

The situation reversed in an instant again!

"Wow... he actually 'resurrected' so easily, no—he summoned even more and more powerful Black Knights!"

The hero who had made the earlier announcement trembled as he looked at the despairing scene before him.

At that moment—the sky seemed to darken again, and in the gloomy, dark world that even the radiance of the Holy Lance could not illuminate, a pair of eerie blue, flame-like eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness.

Then, the Demon King's voice, imposing yet tinged with a hint of pleasure, rang out again: "Alright, the situation has reversed now. The real battle has only just begun. How do you intend to defeat me? What are your chances of winning? One in a thousand—! One in ten thousand—! One in a hundred! Or…—one in a billion! Or even one in a billion—!"

"What's wrong, heroes? The King of Monsters, the Demon King you slew is before you! Come, let me see your final strength! Pleasure me!"

When that look, as if he had already anticipated this scene, was revealed, it was a calm yet chilling display of mad violence, and even words of pity.

Everyone gasped, a chill creeping into their hearts, sending shivers down their spines.

The combined mental and physical pressure from their words made their hard-won self-confidence seem like it was about to shatter in an instant.

monster--!!

Chapter 314 Hypnos, the God of Sleep, and Thanatos, the God of Death! A Test of Fate

But that's not all.

The next moment, the gates of the underworld opened, seemingly taking notice of the commotion here. No... it should be said that a certain abyss god from the depths of hell had been paying attention to major events in the human world from time to time.

He noticed it when the war that swept across all of Greece began that night.

I never imagined they would actually go this far.

He was very satisfied with Ye's performance and just contacted him, offering to send some reinforcements. He said that if Ye wanted, he could choose any gods or demons from the underworld.

This is a real game-changer!

The big shot was blown out...

Tartarus, the god of the abyss, was not originally part of the grand drama arranged for the night.

However—since the other party has already agreed to cooperate so readily, perhaps we should do something about it.

Without any hesitation, Ye asked the Abyss God for two people.

No, it should be said that there are two gods...

Moreover, they are not Titans, but true Olympian gods. The reason why they didn't want Titans is that Tartarus had already given him command of the Titans.

The reason why the night has not been used is to guard against the possible arrival of the Olympian gods' army; the Titans are not needed for mere humans.

Now, the two gods that Night desires are Hypnos, the god of sleep, and Thanatos, the god of death.

This was also a test of the goddess of destiny, Ananke.

As one of the primordial creator gods, Nyx, the goddess of night (and also Ananke, the goddess of the triad of numbers), is of equal rank to Tartarus, the god of the abyss.

Although these two are not at the level of chief gods in the pantheon, they are powerful enough to serve as stepping stones for heroes.

Even though these two gods should nominally be under the jurisdiction of Hades, the god of the underworld, Tartarus, the god of the abyss, gave the order, and these two naturally dared not disobey.

If they die here, what will the goddess of destiny do?

In the Greek world, destiny and fate were the most terrifying things. Even the king of gods could not escape the prophecy of family curses and the tradition of sons killing their fathers.

However, can this kind of destiny be changed by human intervention or manipulated by corresponding deities?

You can try it now.

If she's a goddess, and she can't even control the fate of her own child, then that would be utterly ridiculous...

With such a predetermined fate, there's nothing to fear anymore.

Soon, two powerful deities emerged from the opened passage to the underworld.

As that terrifying divine power emanated from their bodies, the astonishing fluctuations of divine power caused the heroes' expressions to change repeatedly.

Having already learned from Tartarus, the god of the abyss, of the mission of their descent, the twin gods bowed respectfully to Night upon their appearance, and then turned to the heroes to introduce themselves again.

"Come before me, worship me—you great Hypnos (Thanatos), the god of sleep! You ignorant and foolish mortals, leave your lives here!" x2

Hypnos, the god of sleep!

Death—! Thanatos!!

Upon learning the identities of the two new enemies before them, the heroes' expressions changed drastically, turning extremely grim.

The issue is no longer about who the Demon King Talos truly is or whether they can win the battle, but rather about the two newly appeared gods.

Clearly, if we cannot defeat them, we cannot deal with the Demon King Talos!

But now they no longer have the manpower to spare to deal with two such powerful gods.

Despite the heroes' grim expressions, the two gods of the underworld remained outwardly calm, but inwardly they were quite satisfied.

That's right, that's exactly what it looks like!

Facing the strong, the mighty and supreme god, to show a helpless expression is the only expression that powerless humans should show at this moment.

How pitiful and pathetic are these mortals!

From the moment they chose to oppose God, they made the worst decision, which destined them to perish.

Seeing the heroes who didn't dare to utter a sound, who were on high alert and focused, not daring to lose their minds for even a moment.

The gods of sleep and death, their sense of superiority satisfied, looked at these mortals with pity and prepared to bestow upon them a merciless and equal slaughter.

At that moment, they didn't even take these heroes seriously.

Knowing Talos's true identity, and knowing that even this human hero, who had gained some divine power, could stir up trouble in Greece, these true gods, with their proud hearts, were naturally even more fearless.

"Alright, let's just be completely destroyed like this. It's too boring to spend time fighting a bunch of ants. After I'm done with you, I'm going back to the underworld to continue sleeping." Hypnos, the god of sleep, took the initiative. As he spoke, he planned to use his power to put all the heroes present to sleep, including Achilles, who was holding the holy lance.

Although the fluctuations emanating from the Holy Lance startled and alarmed him, the wielder seemed mismatched with the weapon, appearing to have been merely lent out by its original owner and was only able to exert a superficial amount of power.

He didn't need to worry about the Holy Lance at all; he just needed to put Achilles to sleep.

"Fall into eternal sleep! Unleash your power, little world—the cradle of eternity!" As the words of the god of sleep fell, there was no grand spectacle. Compared to the battle between Talos and Dionysus, the thunderous roar of the unleashing of power was very faint.

But the results were outstanding.

A different dimension suddenly enveloped the entire battlefield. In this space, Hypnos was the absolute ruler. Even Zeus, the king of the gods, could be put to sleep and briefly peek into his dreams.

Of course—this is under the premise that Zeus was not on guard against it.

In mythology, under the threat of Hera, the goddess of sleep used this power to spy on Zeus's dreams.

Now it's being used on a group of mortals...

Although it feels a bit like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, this power is mainly aimed at Achilles on the battlefield. In order to avoid the opponent suddenly unleashing the divine power of that never-before-seen golden spear, it's better to be on the safe side.

However, just as the world of the realm was unfolding, an endless drowsiness began to sweep over the heroes.

Heroes: Damn it!!

They clenched their teeth, their gums bleeding, but they couldn't resist the deep drowsiness and were about to fall asleep.

The battle seemed to be over before it even began.

Even a simple god of sleep could manipulate them so easily.

However, at this moment——

In the small world that was originally sealed off as if it were another dimension, but had now become a flowing purple space where one could not see up, down, left, or right, a second ray of light suddenly shone in the sky.

Wow~!

It's as if someone from the outside forcibly tore this world apart.

A narrow opening suddenly appeared in the sky.

Hypnos: "—! What?!"
