Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

The outside world is also in turmoil...!

At both banquets, Ye demonstrated the Holy Sword's immense power.

This caused nations that originally held the title of "Sword of the Chosen" or "Holy Sword of the Mandate of Heaven" but were not taken seriously in their original mythology to place great importance on the sword's power in this new era.

Especially after hearing about the wondrous runes, and the desire to inscribe runes onto a holy sword to forge an even stronger blade, almost every king with any power felt an irresistible urge to do so!

Is that sword so powerful? How will it become even more powerful after being reforged and imbued with magical runes?

The original Holy Sword was something King Higil of the Goths coveted after seeing it once and was willing to do anything to get his hands on it. But now, the Holy Sword is in Night's hands...

The possessiveness of the surrounding kings will only grow stronger, including King Sonos.

He secretly began contacting the old Gothic king, wanting to join forces against Night. Once Night died at the hands of the old Gothic king, he could rightfully inherit the holy sword!

After all, his servant was forging that sword!

The original owner is dead, so as the master of the forger, he naturally has the right to inherit, right?

This tactic of diverting the blame to another country happened to be in perfect harmony with the old Gothic king, who was just preparing to avenge his son.

Soon, the Gothic Kingdom made a huge commotion, and an army of several thousand men began to advance.

King Sonis soon convened a kingdom council, and almost no one wanted to provoke the powerful and furious Gothic Kingdom.

King Sonis quickly feigned concern and went to Night to tell her about their 'difficulties,' asking if Night could handle the approaching powerful enemy on her own.

After all, you said before that you could fight an entire army by yourself, right?

Sonos deliberately flattered someone to his detriment!

However, when Sonos thought that Ye was just pretending and that he would actually hide when he heard that he was facing an army, especially since he no longer had the Holy Sword, Ye readily agreed: "Okay!"

Sonos was completely stunned.

A...you agreed?

Night: "Leave the Gothic army to me... Let Woland not be distracted, and continue to forge the Holy Sword for me with all his might." As he said this, Night looked at the old king with a meaningful gaze, which made King Sonos's heart tremble.

Could it be that something has been discovered?

But Ye ultimately did nothing, only saying, "Then I'll play with you for a little while."

Afterwards, he left Sigourney in the palace with Perthward accompanying her, warned the two to be careful of Woland, and left protective runes on them before leaving the palace.

With the runes left behind by the night, his power was enough to withstand a full-force attack from the hero Hector—of course, referring to Hector without using his divine spear.

After all, the sharpshooter has a penetrating attribute, so it's not easy to defend against.

In this era, how many heroes can reach the level of Hector?

In any case, there is absolutely no such character in this land now.

At the same time, Ye left a backdoor on the two of them. If things still didn't go well, he could sense their physical condition at any time, or they could contact him and he could cross the mirror space to rush back.

If someone thinks that by luring him outside, they can secretly use Sigourney and the others to threaten them, their expression when he suddenly appears will be quite a sight!

Chapter 167 Future Prediction: Predicting the future three thousand years in advance?! How is that possible!

On the border of the kingdom—! As the morning sun rises above the horizon, its warm rays illuminate the earth.

A large army is advancing...

The perfectly synchronized steps, the sharp, gleaming spears, and the gleaming armor all testified to the elite status of this army.

The leader of the black knights asked the soldiers around him where they were now.

When the soldiers replied that they had reached the border between the two countries, the Black Knight ordered everyone to stop and rest on the spot.

According to the plan between their king and King Sonos of the opposing country, the target will come to them, and this place will become the battlefield.

Logically speaking, with such a large and elite army, let alone defeating a human, even directly attacking a neighboring country would be enough to make the neighboring country tremble with fear and tremble at the mere mention of its name... a war force capable of destroying a nation in fear.

The strength of the Gothic Kingdom's army was well-known throughout the surrounding countries.

However, the Black Knight had a vague sense of unease. He was proficient in some prophetic spells. Although he could not see as far into the future as the Goddess of Fate, he could still see some of his own future.

According to fate, he would die decades later at the hands of his own disciple, who would then kill him after accomplishing an unimaginable feat.

He could vaguely see that they were warriors of the Volsung family—a member of the God's family.

And the target he is going to attack this time is also a member of that family.

However, after participating in this extermination battle, the Black Knight discovered that the future he could barely see before had suddenly disappeared...

The future is uncertain, and it's unclear whether it will be good or bad.

His fate of being killed by his disciples seems to have been averted! Was it all because he participated in this campaign?

For this reason, the Black Knight always felt somewhat anxious, and the thought of the powerful legend of the Holy Sword made him even more wary.

However, the elite soldiers of the royal palace below, who had heard of the power of the Holy Sword but had never witnessed it firsthand, did not take this mission too seriously at the moment.

In their view, there was only one enemy, and no matter how powerful they were, could they possibly defeat their entire army?!

And it was just as the soldiers began to rest on the spot...

In the sweltering heat, the air seemed to ripple and churn like waves, creating a dreamlike distortion of space in the retina.

Suddenly—a soldier spotted what appeared to be a figure on the horizon in the direction of the sun.

Because they were too far away, some things were not very clear.

How could you possibly see human habitation in such a desolate, godforsaken place? Is it just a hallucination?

Most soldiers believed that their superiors would at least order them to advance a little further, and that they would encounter the target when they were close to a nearby town.

Then—until the figure drew closer, closer and clearer.

It is now confirmed that there is indeed a figure slowly walking towards us in the distance under the bright sun.

"!! Someone's there!"

The soldier immediately reported this scene to the Black Knight, not daring to delay.

Soon, the Black Knight looked in the direction indicated by the sign, and his extraordinary eyesight and magical power allowed him to clearly see the figure's appearance.

It was a figure wearing a cloak and with silver-white hair walking on foot through the wilderness.

Despite being in such a harsh environment, they walked with a leisurely and carefree gait, as if they were taking a stroll. The harsh environment around them seemed to have no effect on them at all. Instead, they treated the strange and uneven earth as part of the scenery they were walking on.

The Black Knight's pupils contracted. For some reason, upon seeing that figure, his unease intensified more than ever before.

At this time, would someone appearing in such a place be their target?

"We dare not slacken our efforts!" The Black Knight immediately ordered his soldiers to rise and get ready.

As the kingdom's elite troops, none of them complained about the Black Knight's overly cautious 'overreaction'. Instead, they quickly organized their troops and faced the distance.

however--

Sometimes, being prepared and avoiding carelessness is not enough to change the outcome on the battlefield.

Even if they've done a great job! Some things are destined from the very beginning.

True strength is not affected by whether others give their all.

that's it--

The army, which was on high alert, watched the figure in the distance slowly approaching them without giving way.

A normal person would have been too scared to walk away if they saw such a massive army.

But the other party took the initiative to come up to them, as if they had come specifically to find them.

This led the Black Knight to further speculation, and he attempted to use his future-seeing magic once again to see the course of the upcoming 'battle' with his own eyes.

However—the moment he used his power to look at that figure, his eyes suddenly emitted a terrifying stinging pain.

Ahh ...

A scream rang out! It was as if they had seen something terrifying.

At the same time, the Black Knight heard the same voice: "Those who believe in the future have no hope. Fools! Only cowardly dogs and mediocre people who are afraid of defeat would be obsessed with peeking into the future. Little do they know that the future is changing every moment... In the end, clairvoyance is such a useless thing."

At that moment, Night, on the other side, sensed being watched and let out a disdainful sound.

By simply tracing the source, he was able to discern what kind of magic the other party was using to spy on him and to know their thoughts.

For a true powerhouse, every thought can give rise to a brand new timeline. This is especially true for someone like Ye, who has already gained administrative authority over the Norse world. The idea of ​​trying to anchor the ending of a timeline by peeking into the future is simply not feasible for him.

"Then—knight, tell me... what did you just see on me?"

When the Black Knight regained his senses, he opened his eyes and was horrified to find that what was once a long distance had suddenly become a reality. He then asked a question.

He recognized the voice as the one that had just been ringing in his ear.

At the same time, he recalled that terrifying scene that made him feel as if he had been blinded and his soul was being purified with just one glance.

Originally, he wanted to see the future of this war, but his powerful spiritual vision saw its essence and the distant 'past' in the instant it met the night's gaze.

At this moment, the terrifying mastermind has arrived and is questioning him right before their eyes.

The Black Knight instinctively trembled and cried out, "The past—I saw it, the past three thousand years ago!"

As soon as the Black Knight spoke, the soldiers below, who all knew just how accurate and powerful their commander's prophetic abilities were—abilities that His Majesty the King trusted so much—were immediately thrown into an uproar, all feeling a sense of dread.

How can it be?

Their commander used prophetic magic to foretell the person before him, but the prophecy turned out to be from three thousand years ago...?!

Chapter 168 'He' destroyed everything, he created everything, and he ruled the world!

How could this be? Even if the prophecy was flawed and saw the other person's past, a span of three thousand years—

This even surpasses the history of human civilization that they already know for certain.

But there was something the Black Knight didn't say...

Perhaps it wasn't three thousand years ago, but an even more distant era. He said three thousand years ago because he could only speculate on a vague and ambiguous time, and of course, he could only judge that the time was at least much further back.

So ancient that it seems to have never existed in the Nordic world at all! As if torn apart! Devastating—plasmolysis.

The Black Knight himself does not possess the ability to predict things across such a vast distance; what he sees is more of a coincidence.

But—far beyond three thousand years ago, in an era even more ancient than the recorded time when the gods descended to earth—could humanity have truly existed in such a time?

However—he did see it.
