Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

There's no way Denmark could possibly have so many pantheons active at the same time.

Night immediately came to her senses; the only region in the world whose maps were developed that was related to Denmark was probably the Nordic region.

As for the other one, there is only one possibility.

The lands of the former Germans, conquered by the night, encompassing all the regions north of the Rhine.

Why could conquering a Germanic tribe open up so many new territories?

After a while, Ye thought about the special geographical location of this land and suddenly understood something.

This future territory of Germany—no… it should be called the land where the Germanic peoples were active—was no smaller than the present-day Roman Empire. If you include the many island nations that were spared, such as Denmark, its territory was comparable to and far exceeded that of Italy, Gaul, and England.

It is located in the heart of the inland region, adjacent to many mythological origins.

When people talk about the Germanic people, it is not actually a general term for a single ethnic group, but rather a mixture of multiple ethnic groups, with the Aryans, who are blond and blue-eyed, being the most numerous.

Like the Huns of the East, the Aryans, who led a difficult life with nomadic pastoralism as their main occupation and agriculture as a supplement, did not have the same living conditions as the intellectually rich and peaceful Mesopotamians and ancient Egyptians. However, they mastered animal husbandry—the strategic resource of horses.

Driven by ambition (aggression), they continued to invade south, southwest, and southeast, and one group that reached Ireland was known as the Gaelic Celts.

Upon arriving in Britain, they were given the name Briton Celt.

Many even fled to Spain in the south of the continent, or eastward to Türkiye, Central Asia, and India.

Under different geographical conditions, through wars and integration with different ethnic groups, the descendants of Aryans gradually developed their own distinctive names, such as the Persians and the Medes, who are all descendants of Aryans.

Putting aside other factors, there's the connection between geographical location and the diverse and complex beliefs of the Germanic people, a mix of various ethnicities.

The fact that the Persian and Celtic pantheons could be revealed is understandable to Ye.

But what's with that pantheon with three question marks?

This is not because the simulated universe cannot be determined, but because it lacks a proper conceptual definition in human history, hence the three question marks.

Given the territorial boundaries and connections with the Germanic peoples, it wouldn't be surprising to light up a Hindu pantheon night as well.

But India's pantheon would obviously not look like this with three question marks.

So what is this thing?!

The unknown is always mysterious and attractive, making people want to explore it.

Just like when you see an unfamiliar monster with questionable attack and defense stats suddenly appear in Yu-Gi-Oh!, it instantly attracts attention and makes you feel like you're facing a formidable enemy.

After sensing it briefly that night, his expression suddenly became somewhat strange and interesting.

It's actually this kind of thing—well, mythology!

Hmm... Hmm? Can this thing really be called a myth?

A grand collection of fairy tale worlds!

This is a universe built upon the Grimm's Fairy Tales originating in Germany and the Andersen Fairy Tales from Denmark. It is a new universe that was updated after the collaboration was triggered after arriving in Denmark.

Wait a minute—even fairy tales have conceptual universes?

That must be a completely different, terrifying other world with chaotic rules.

It doesn't even qualify as a parallel world; it should be called a world that is completely illogical and unreasonable.

By clicking on the map in the main world, a completely new other world can be opened.

Although Ye knew that one day, with his exploration abilities, he would be able to find a completely different world from the history of humankind on Earth, or even a world he was once familiar with, in the vast universe, he never expected that day to come so soon.

However, although it is said to be another world, it seems that there is also a 'master' in the fairy tale world.

The story of St. Peter and Heaven, in particular, occupies a significant portion of the book.

Miracles of resurrection have occurred in this world more than once, and various conceptual bug-like abilities make even Ye, at the height of his power, feel his scalp tingle when he enters this world.

As we all know, the rules and spells contained in the various props in the fairy tale world are the most unreasonable and illogical.

Even miracles like reversing time and changing the world can be easily achieved.

The danger of this map, even in Night Vision, far surpasses that of several other famous god-tier systems.

After a moment's thought, Ye decided to continue with the previous plan, starting with the Norse pantheon.

The old rule remains the same: not choosing the Celtic pantheon, it's a matter of cost-effectiveness.

The Persian pantheon is quite strong, but there aren't many dungeons available for it. Either they're not very useful for him right now, or they're just too powerful to handle. He might have to go up against the dragon Azdahaka or play around with the evil god Angra Mainyu.

This is not like the harmless little black thing in the cup next door, but rather the extreme evil that is the opposite of the dualistic worldview and the creator god Ahura, and the opposite of extreme good.

Compared to this person, all the evil in this world can only be described as a harmless child.

Even in fairy tales, the powerful things are often the treasures and artifacts, not the people.

There's not much to learn, and before Ye has fully figured out how to bring things out of the conceptual universe, it's one thing to take this risk if you're unlucky, but if you're lucky enough to get a god-like artifact that can arbitrarily modify the world, it would be even more frustrating if you couldn't bring it out.

After making the decision, Night did nothing. He didn't go to Iceland either, but instead took Achilles and the others back to German soil, leaving the Danish king and his ministers bewildered and sweating profusely.

They didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing, or if they had offended the Greek god. When the god came, they were terrified and flustered, but when the god left without doing anything, they, who should have been overjoyed, began to be suspicious and extremely upset.

Are you leaving already? Aren't you going to grab anything before you go?

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Romans Protected by God and Those Without – This Rome Is Not Roman at All

It's no wonder the Danish king and his ilk are acting like self-punishers.

People always like to speculate about God's profound meaning from their own perspective, but they never think that God has never cared about the things they think about or worry about.

The two are not on the same level to view the world. The place that God thinks and focuses on is another dimension that humans cannot imagine.

After returning home that night...

News of the major events that had occurred on this land finally reached Rome, and everyone from the Senate nobles to Roman citizens and even slaves learned of the victory that had taken place on the other side of the Rhine River in the north.

Moreover, they almost wiped out the Germans in one battle.

What kind of outrageous, heaven-defying, cheat-like life achievements are these?!

This terrifying record left Marius, who had secretly considered him a righteous rival, completely stunned.

The Roman nobles who wanted to bring Sulla back, who held military power, to deal with the Night were also terrified.

Especially when listening to those fantastical legends, such as Greek heroes appearing together to help Night invade Germanic lands, or even Night not being human but actually the reincarnation of a god.

Putting aside these mysterious aspects, the fact that the other side had already wiped out the Germanic people and incorporated a territory no smaller than the current Roman stronghold was enough to make the nobles feel suffocated.

People have no prior knowledge of the Night Elves' activities in the Roman era, so they naturally cannot understand why someone could skip the developmental stages and begin conquering the world.

It felt like playing a strategy game with a cheat engine; initially, you had a massive army with full resources and hero components, sweeping across the map.

Even the legendary Arthurian legends that spread in Europe in the future wouldn't dare to tell such a story.

The Senate: ?!

With this kind of strength, how can it be described as a fledgling? It is clearly a soaring dragon that has begun to take off completely!

With such immense power and the return of that invincible army, who among them could possibly restrain him?

The Senate's panic at this moment was not the same as, but even greater than, the panic it felt after Caesar's triumphant return after defeating the Gallic army, after Pompey's triumphant return after achieving great military exploits and being hailed as a god of war, and after Sulla's return from the border with hundreds of thousands of troops to seize power and establish a dictatorship in Rome.

This is what these elders, whose power and status have already reached the pinnacle, fear most. It's their usual methods of suppressing dissent, utterly ineffective against their overwhelming military might!

Just as they were worried about the return of the night with such great momentum, and even the rumors of it being the incarnation of a god, a process that emperors and kings who achieved great things in human history often went through (playing) was.

The divine right of kings made the emperor's position seem even more unshakeable, increasing his authority.

The senators naturally did not believe in any gods in this world.

If that were true, the things they've done over the years, wielding power and acting arrogantly, would have been enough to warrant countless judgments from the Roman gods. This is definitely just an artistic facade!

Yes, definitely! But as they said this, the elders became even more sweaty and felt cold.

They then considered another question—although they didn't know where Night had acquired such a powerful Greek army, or those beings with strength and names comparable to ancient heroes, there was no doubt that Night had now grown immensely and could threaten Rome at any time.

However, just like the King of Denmark, the senators and nobles who had been worrying for a long time discovered that the night had actually stayed put on German soil and seemed to have no intention of leaving at all.

He even began leading a large army to build infrastructure on that land.

That's right, infrastructure—

The person in charge of this infrastructure project is even the sole heir of the Julius family, the divine family—'Little Caesar'.

When Julius Caesar heard the news during a meeting of the Senate, he was quite pleased.

He didn't mind at all that his family's sole heir was doing this kind of contractor work. This wasn't just contracting a construction site, but contracting a territory large enough to establish a kingdom. On the contrary, it was an important job and an honor.

I definitely made the right investment choice!

And speaking of that land of the Germans.

Even before the large-scale infrastructure development in this land, the nomadic Germanic peoples had already given Rome a lot of headaches.

It would be a good thing if a new province were to develop there.

The Romans had always harbored the idea of ​​subjugating the Germanic peoples and then turning their lands into the Greater Germanic Province and the Lesser Germanic Province along the Rhine.

But that was the Germanic territory under Rome's control.

However, the army Night currently commands is clearly beyond their control. Letting Night garrison there is no different from him establishing his own country.

Although the Germanic peoples were indeed conquered by others, they had almost, no... it can be said that they had absolutely no connection with them.

But while the other party is nominally subordinate to Rome, have you ever seen a province whose strength is comparable to the territory of an entire kingdom, or even whose military strength is stronger than yours?

Nominally, it was territory conquered by the Roman army, but in reality, it was like a newly established kingdom, even integrating the previously disunited Germanic nomadic peoples.

As for the fact that the northern lands are not suitable for cultivation, this makes it the most difficult place for the Germanic people to grow large, and they can only become the foundation of nomadic peoples. What is a problem for others is not a difficult thing for Ye.

Even though he is not a god yet, the mystery and immense power of his soul are not limited by his physical body. The flowing power nurtures all things, and with the status of the plant god Adonis, he doesn't need to do anything. As long as he stays on this land, the land will be subtly influenced by the mystery of his spiritual status and begin to grow fertile, rich, and full of life.

As for how to gain the loyalty of the Germanic people, that was even simpler.

Human history teaches us just how intense the Germanic race's innate admiration for power is, to the point that they didn't even need to manifest miracles, once they learned that the gods and heroes from Greece were going to stay and completely transform this land.

These people, who had no faith or whose faith was mixed, immediately decided to change it to a night of faith.

Even in this era, joining Rome and becoming a Roman citizen was a source of pride. Powerful Germanic tribes, even after destroying the Western Roman Empire, still aspired to gain recognition from the Eastern Roman Empire and become honorable Roman citizens. Now, they had the opportunity to openly and legitimately become members of Rome.

If Rome hadn't been so averse to accepting Germanic immigrants during that period, the Germanic people could have easily shown Rome their fervent desire to immigrate to Rome after being driven out by the Huns.

The weak are dominated by the strong. Believing in this mindset, the Germanic tribes believe that as long as you are strong enough, they will obey you. Not to mention, after personally experiencing the power of people like Ye, the idea that Rome is superior to others has become ingrained in the minds of the Germanic people...

The idea that having a divine presence above one's head is the mark of a superior person!
