Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Although Odin has already made a bet with Night, his current secret plotting sounds rather dishonest. But this is how Odin, the king of the gods, is in mythology; if he were to honestly wait patiently, it wouldn't be like him.

In mythology, Odin and his queen Frigg rescued two human brothers and raised them as farmers and peasants on the beach.

Later, one of the two children, Gilrod, became a noble king.

These are two tools in his battle of wits with Frigga, and Odin wants to use the excellence of his trained tool, Gilod, to prove that he is wiser than his wife.

But Frigga realized that Odin had secretly descended to Earth and manipulated things behind the scenes to help Gilrod, which was why the two brothers grew up so differently in the future.

Frigga then declared that Gilrod was a tyrannical and immoral ruler, and Odin bet that he was not. However, he secretly went to warn Gilrod, but Frigga beat him to it—finding Gilrod first.

He then described Odin's disguised human form as a heinous demon to Gilrod, saying that Odin would use sorcery to bewitch him.

This led to Gilrod capturing Odin as soon as he entered the kingdom. Odin, disguised as a strange foreign wizard, was subjected to various extreme punishments. In his anger, Odin was forced to reveal his identity as the God-King and kill Gilrod, allowing his son to ascend to the throne as the King of Iceland.

Although the outcome of this underhanded scheme was not pleasant for Odin, and he was even tricked by Frigga, Odin, as the god of wisdom, was certainly aware of everything that happened behind the scenes. However, he was too ashamed to expose her and instead used her scheme to kill the 'son' he had raised.

Odin is a character who has absolutely no gambling spirit, yet still has a sense of shame.

Despite being such a contradictory individual, Night wasn't worried that Odin would renege on his promise after losing. He was quite concerned about maintaining his reputation and wouldn't openly break his word.

However, Night knew without even guessing that Odin would have the idea of ​​doing something underhanded; he would definitely do it.

At this point, Odin had already transformed into a beggar and arrived in the human kingdom.

When they entered the royal city, Odin looked at the magnificent and imposing walls that were no less impressive than those of the divine realm, and his expression turned somewhat grim.

When Odin discovered that the palaces within those royal cities were forged from demonic metal... how could a group of weak humans live in high cities and celestial palaces of the same scale as the gods? This aroused Odin's displeasure, but he did not take any action.

As Odin walked along, he noticed that the humans around him seemed to be looking at him with strange eyes.

As a master of feigning human suffering in mythology, the image of a beggar is one of Odin's favorite personas. Of course—beggars didn't exist in this era; Odin simply subconsciously made himself appear extremely disheveled and ragged, like a refugee.

Yet it is precisely this image, so out of step with humanity in this era, that has attracted people's attention and aroused considerable skepticism.

Even hunters who need to hunt magical beasts usually travel in groups and would never return from the outside world alone in such a disheveled state.

A person, dressed in rags, and an old man—!?

People immediately became alert upon recalling the various classic images and disguises that the gods most liked to use in the epics recounted by Queen Ash.

Chapter 139 Odin: Fortune changes every thirty years, don't underestimate the poor and old!

First—Beware of the elderly. The elderly are the forms that gods like to disguise themselves in when they travel incognito, especially the kings of the gods.

Second—beware of beggars. Beggars are also objects that the gods like to transform into, as they love to disguise themselves as beggars to fish and pick up hair.

Thirdly, be wary of people whose presence doesn't match their appearance; those who are overly assertive might be incarnations of deities.

Fourthly, even if you see through the other person's identity, don't reveal it, as that will only attract more of their attention. The right choice at this time is to pretend you know nothing and quietly walk away.

Do not arouse the curiosity of the gods; neither praise nor insult them. Anything related to the gods is poison to mankind.

Finally—remember this: the gods are smaller than your asshole.

From those stories, people have come to fully understand how petty, yet powerful, and dangerous the gods truly are.

And so—the crowd began to subtly distance themselves from the beggar transformed by Odin.

This made Odin feel a little dissatisfied, as he took it as humans disgusted by his stench and shabby appearance.

Are these people really so heartless? Just because their fellow countryman doesn't look good, they are so indifferent and stay away... without even thinking of helping this old man.

He had planned to see if anyone would kindly receive him, and then, through a miracle, restore his appearance and reward these kind people. This would allow him to leave behind some beautiful stories and myths, spreading the faith of Odin, the king of the gods.

As a result, they were turned away from the very beginning.

Perhaps the people in the outer city were just more indifferent, and the inner city was a little better? So Odin continued onward, but when he arrived in the inner city, he found that the people were still avoiding him.

Odin, his heart filled with rage, finally couldn't hold back any longer. He stood in the street and shouted, "I am Vek'tan, a mortal who is tired and hungry. Is there any kind person willing to help me, give me some food and drink, and let me sleep for another night?"

When Odin spoke in this way, he was certain that this time someone with a kind heart would step forward.

When he observed from the sky, he knew that humans were a hardworking, warm-hearted, and kind race who took great care of their fellow human beings. There was no reason for him to refuse after he had asked so earnestly.

But what Odin couldn't understand the next moment was that those people seemed to have heard something terrible when they heard his words. They all pretended not to hear and even walked faster.

This is a common mistake that both the Greek god Zeus and the Norse god Odin made.

They often like to pretend to be poor when they travel incognito, which is fine, but every time they become poor, they demand that others give them alms. If they are not allowed to have food and wine for their girlfriends, then they are considered heartless and committing a crime.

Such a person must be punished by God...!

Their anger was unfounded. A group of beggars who didn't work for a living arrived like lords, demanding good food and wine, and wanting to sleep in.

Unless you realize early on that they are not ordinary people, how many normal people would be willing to serve them with such a bossy attitude?

Those who are willing to give you alms do so out of kindness and goodwill, while those who are unwilling to give you alms... others have no obligation to help you unconditionally. If everyone in the world who is poorer than you were to be helped, there would be no way to help everyone.

But at this point, Odin is not thinking from a human perspective.

Having concealed his identity, Odin's emotions seemed to become quite apparent. Or perhaps his arrogance and aloofness as the king of gods made him lose face, and he couldn't help but shout angrily again: "What a miserable kingdom! Is there not a single person willing to help this poor old man like me!"

Those who escaped, however, did not care. People living in this era were all very hardworking and strong, and could easily support themselves. Even Odin, who disguised himself as an old man, was clearly a very strong type...

How could he have the audacity to say he needed help from others? Sure enough—this old man must be a deity.

When Odin grabbed a human's arm, intending to question him, his sharp gaze fell upon him. Before the human could even speak, he received a disdainful look and a sharp rebuke: "You have hands and feet, why don't you go and earn your own living through work? You may be old, but you're very strong. You're such a grown man, yet you can't support yourself. Why are you thinking of getting something for nothing?"

After saying that, the other person shook off Odin's hand and strode away.

Wow! That was exciting! We got to yell at a completely unfamiliar god! The king said that even if we can't shake them off, we don't need to be afraid of these gods; he will be our strongest support!

Since there's no escaping it, let's just keep talking... and that's how the scene just now unfolded.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Odin, who was being scorned by a mere mortal, was still unaware that his divine identity had been exposed. Otherwise, he would have been even more furious, but right now he was already starting to feel a bit dizzy and confused!

？ ！！

I was mocked? What just happened...?

Is this what humans are? Is this the life created by the Sun King?

How—how… outrageous!!

Odin, who nearly suffered a stroke from anger, took a long time to recover. He finally changed his mind and decided not to waste any more time on these ordinary people.

It was as if they wanted to let these people know just how foolish they had done.

Finally—Odin roared: "Foolish people! You look down on me now, but you don't know how noble my status is. Soon I will marry the Queen and become someone you all need to look up to and fawn over!"

At this point—Odin wasn't just speaking out of anger; his voice, as if amplified, instantly resounded throughout the entire royal city, even reaching Queen Ash in the city, who heard this shameless statement.

That's right—his next plan is to marry the Queen.

For Odin, marrying the human queen would mean gaining control over humanity beyond that of the Sun King. Not to mention—Queen Ash herself was a very charming and beautiful woman.

If it were the old him, he would have already forced himself on her and made her bear his divine child.

The commotion Odin caused in the royal city could not fool even mortals, let alone the Night hiding in the shadows, and Queen Ash, one of the parties involved, was extremely annoyed at the moment!

Especially with Ye Zai, who on the surface should be in another city but whose true form is actually standing right next to him, Ash felt even more disgusted with that shameless, perverted old man from the outside world.

Ash turned her head, nervously saying, "Night... I don't know that guy... and I've never accepted anyone's marriage proposal. You have to believe me!"

Chapter 140 The Story of the Norse Queen and the Divine Bull, Loki—you should be interested!

Night: "Of course I know, no need to be nervous. Ash... that guy is Odin incarnate—let's see what he's going to do first."

Of course, he unconditionally trusts Ash. So, what method does Odin, this old man, plan to use to attract Ash?

"Is that Odin, the King of Gods?" Zelda asked, and the Skadi sisters, who were also in the hall, looked on in surprise.

Loki, who was also hiding in the hall, heard that his good brother had come. His first thought was that this old man had come for the real reason. Could it be that he was here to hunt him down? At this thought, Loki's heart tightened.

At this time, the beggar who accompanied Odin had arrived outside the palace. He found the guard and wanted him to inform the Queen that he had discovered an interesting story in the forest by the sea, which Her Majesty would surely be interested in.

In mythology, Odin used a similar tactic, and he actually managed to fool quite a few queens of human kingdoms. Normally, no one would take a beggar like him seriously if he were suddenly asked to meet a queen with such a casual excuse.

But no matter how he disguised himself, the beggar's true nature was still Odin, the king of gods. This time, Odin, who was secretly cheating, used a little bit of his divine power to influence the guards' consciousness and make them communicate with him.

He was genuinely afraid that the guards here, like the humans before him, would once again utter some outrageous words that would raise his blood pressure.

So—when the guard relayed the message, Night, who already knew everything from God's perspective, spoke with Ash and had Odin brought up.

Loki, Skadi, and Night remained hidden in the shadows, concealed by runes. When Odin arrived at the palace to meet the Queen, he did not notice anything amiss.

Above—before the throne, the ash-like figure asked coldly, "Is it you? You said you had something special to report to me—please pray that you're not just making up some trivial matter to fob me off, and don't say anything filthy, or you'll soon learn the painful price of mocking a queen."

Fearing that Odin might say something outrageous again, like his previous statement about marrying the Queen in the square, she was afraid she might lose her temper and kill the old man directly, even though with her strength, even if she were to strike unexpectedly, she probably wouldn't be able to hurt Odin much.

Meanwhile, on the other side, when Odin sensed Ash's rejection, he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he said, "Every full moon night, divine bulls mate in the forests by the sea, and afterwards, they produce a great deal of gold and silver jewels. I once witnessed the process of divine bulls reproducing jewels, and after the bulls left, they took these jewels back to their huts. This is the precious information I brought to the Queen!"

After saying this, Odin took out a piece of gold from his pocket as evidence.

A divine cow?

Night, hiding in the shadows, realized that this was the myth of Queen Sargas! However, the queen in this version was Ash instead of Sargas.

This story is a variant of Greek mythology. The prototype is the mother of the Minotaur, the most famous Minotaur king in Greece, who was tempted by the gods and became curious about bulls—falling in love with a bull.

There are also legends that the bull was transformed from Poseidon.

Of course—not only this myth, but it may also be related to the myth of the Europa princess.

As the grandmother of Western Europe and the mother of all of Europe, the continent is named after her. In mythology, Zeus took a liking to Europa—to avoid Hera's gaze, he transformed into Europa's bull and eventually took her away, entrusting her to faraway Europe, a story of keeping her as a mistress.

These stories of queens, princesses, cows, and gods evolved in Norse mythology, where Odin used the story of the sacred cow as bait to lure the queen out—and then made the queen herself a part of the grand spectacle of 'the sacred cow mating'.

The divine bull that could produce gold and silver does not exist; it's all a fabrication by Odin to deceive people.

But for a queen who was not lacking in gold and silver treasures, the biggest reason she was ultimately drawn there was precisely that inevitable human curiosity.

Odin deliberately misinterpreted the Queen's curiosity, claiming that she was interested in that kind of thing. Then, taking advantage of the Queen's solo outing without protection, he dragged her and forced her to experience what 'divine bull mating' meant, satisfying her 'interest'!

At this moment, he confidently carried out his schemes, just as he did in mythology.

In this age devoid of entertainment, he did not believe that such an interesting thing could not attract Queen Ash. As long as Queen Ash went out alone, he was confident that he could quietly take her into his possession before the Sun King discovered her, thus completing an alternative initial intervention in the human world!

Odin has already made an agreement with his brother in his kidneys. This time, the brother will cooperate with him to restore his masculine prestige and allow him to do what he wants. In return, Odin will find him a powerful body capable of resurrecting him.

Once he regains his powerful stamina, Odin is confident he can conquer any woman. After all, that's how he used to pursue women: he would force himself on the woman he liked and use his strength to completely conquer her.

Even if you resist at first, once you overcome your own resistance, you will gradually be defeated by that greatness.

However—at this moment, Ash's face was as cold as ice, and his attitude was indifferent—even giving the impression that he was about to explode or get angry at any moment.

Is that all you wanted to say?
