Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Chapter 239 He is the only different final trial, which is both evil and love!

The roar that shook the stars seemed to extinguish the starlight in the universe, leaving it dim and lifeless.

A sudden chill ran down people's spines; it was the biological instinct that made them feel insignificant and fearful when they encountered a top predator far, far, far stronger than themselves.

Fenrir, the god-slaying wolf—son of Loki, the god of fire and mischief—was also defeated by human heroes trained by the gods before 1999. In his beast form, Fenrir is ultimately destined to devour Odin, the god-king symbolizing wisdom. His mythology embodies anti-intellectualism, threatening the development of human civilization, and thus making him a target for extermination.

When that voice revealed the final trial of the third human to be defeated.

——! ! !

Boom! Their heads were buzzing; the Scandinavians were stunned.

Wait, who is this newly emerged final trial for humanity? What did it do?

Fenrir, the god-slaying wolf of the Norse pantheon—finally, a familiar old friend has appeared. But his appearance is accompanied by a prophecy that he will eventually devour Odin, the king of the gods.

What a shocking revelation!

Brunhilde: ? ? !! Wait, who did Fenrir swallow?

The great god—Odin!!!

In this era, many people may not know Fenrir, or even be familiar with Loki, the god of fire, but absolutely no one is unfamiliar with Odin, the king of the gods.

This is like how it's impossible for Westerners not to know Zeus, God, or Jerusalem.

As the king of gods in the mythology of this Norse world, Odin is a great being known to almost everyone—the king of wisdom and the king of the gods.

Even a god of that level was swallowed up... The horror of humanity's final trial has raised the level of danger in people's minds by a whole new level.

If even the God-King couldn't handle this calamity, could humanity really solve it on their own? Wait, it's already been resolved? Then there's no problem.

Then there's the 'Bull of the Sky' representing famine; and the 'Dead-Eyed Balor' representing the greenhouse effect (ozone hole, greenhouse effect, melting icebergs, resurrection of ancient bacteria).

Information about the suppression of various entities appeared one after another.

The final trial of humanity that has not yet been defeated, and is one of the most difficult, is absolute evil.

Here we come, finally the description of absolute evil.

Getting back to the main point—compared to the ultimate trials of humanity, such as 'famine,' which can be sanctioned by cultivating superior, high-yield crops to eliminate the phenomenon at its source.

Or it could be to protect the environment and promote greening, thereby preventing and curbing the arrival of greenhouse gases.

Absolute evil—yet completely different.

The birth of absolute evil is not a natural occurrence, but rather a grand vow.

[Grand Vision]?

A look of astonishment crossed everyone's face. What was that explanation?

When a voice came to people's ears again, this time it was not the same as before, but a beautiful female voice.

"There is nothing more beautiful than humankind in this world. That is why I grieve. For their destruction is absolute." When a goddess shrouded in radiance understands the foolishness of humanity, that radiance—weeps for humankind.

Unlike other deities, 'she' does not care about the life and death of humans for her own survival, but feels sorrow because she loves humans.

Yes. It will lead to destruction. If this continues, it will lead to destruction. No matter how much humanity struggles, it will perish.

With a perspective far beyond the cosmos, she saw the ultimate fate of humanity, which is why she wept.

She wept because she deeply loved those humans who blamed and impeached the gods (herself).

Desiring to wipe away 'her' tears as much as possible, a certain man abandoned his identity as a hero and established himself as the Demon King—an existence known as 'humanity's final trial'.

This is the birth of absolute evil. By identifying and detailing the root causes of human destruction, they create a future of triumph for themselves.

Bearing the banner of the deepest sin, 'absolute evil,' he will serve 'her' until the end of the world.

At this point, the concept of absolute evil was clearly and vividly reflected in people's minds.

All the Scandinavians who saw this, whether royalty or Valkyries, fell into a deathly silence, suddenly falling silent.

Is it because of love that humanity must be destroyed, not because of evil?

It even becomes the purpose of evil itself, to open up a possibility for humanity, a possibility of victory, to open up a path that did not originally exist.

They noticed the key point—'Identify the causes of human destruction—break them down, and use that to create a future of victory for them.'

Therefore, this should not be a story of human evil, but rather... a story of human love!

Suddenly I realized that these were fundamentally different.

Brunhilde's delicate heart trembled at this moment. Her gaze suddenly softened with tenderness and pity, and the anger in her eyes was extinguished by the tragic and shocking 'truth' she had witnessed.

Like her, heroes who deeply love humanity as individuals must bear the name of evil, await the condemnation of the world, and ultimately die bearing the name of sin, leaving a lasting infamy.

This is unacceptable—it's too tragic! It's outrageous, how could such an outrageous thing happen?

It is heartbreaking and pitiful that it does not cherish its own absolute self-destruction.

Even though she had lived on this land through countless seasons, she had never seen such a tragic hero.

No, it shouldn't be some so-called final trial for humanity, nor should it be a hero or a demon king; it should be called a true savior.

The one who gives humanity hope and leads us toward a possible future—isn't that the savior?

This description immediately made people think of something, automatically placing their image in the goddess they had seen not long ago.

Artemis, the goddess of the moon, was also the goddess served by the hero Siegfried.

Could Artemis be—that 'she'?!

...Was it only after meeting this goddess that the hero who slayed the dragon changed his original life trajectory, decided to abandon his identity as a hero, and began to transform into absolute evil?

If the previous human trials were only meant to inspire fear, power, and terror...

An existence that instills fear in people.

So this last, resounding, and perhaps most difficult, final trial for humanity brings people the warmest feeling.

From the moment he became absolute evil, that man would never compromise on anything again. As humanity's ultimate trial, he would shatter everything—!!

and so……

Chapter 240 What are the conditions for becoming a candidate for the Original Text? Boss, finish explaining!

—That battle changed.

It was supposed to be a story of a glorious hero defeating a dragon.

It was supposed to be justice punishing evil, but now it has turned into a fateful war of extreme evil against extreme evil, a war that brings tears to our eyes.

Subsequently, the Scandinavians also witnessed the power of the night in that prophetic dream!

They saw it—the colossal giant warrior, as if a god had descended from the heavens.

They saw it—the Phantom Demon Emperor, so evil and violent after the reversal that it seemed to freeze one's soul.

They witnessed firsthand the punch that shattered the stars, each one larger than the kingdom beneath their feet.

They also witnessed the darkness that permeated the whole world. It turned out that the terrifying black fog that suddenly enveloped the world, making people think that the end of the world had come and even the stars and the earth were caused by this big shot.

When he strikes as an evil being, it is like a thunderbolt, showing no mercy. His strength, his domineering nature, his gentleness, and the way he fights with all his might while bearing everything all contribute to his immense personal charisma.

Because as the agent of the trial, there is no point in showing mercy.

The ultimate trial of humanity can only be overcome by humanity defeating absolute evil at its peak, when it has exerted all its strength and power.

Even if he loves humans, he should be the embodiment of absolute violence and fear to them—but we see this human still helping them fight the evil dragon during the final trial.

We were absolutely devastated!

To some extent, understanding the dialogue between the two sides and knowing that Fafnir also represented the greatest evil in the universe, people suspected that Fafnir might become the next final trial for humanity. Fortunately, it was nipped in the bud!

This scene gives the impression that absolute evil is helping them eliminate other 'humanity's final trial'.

In the long run, humanity's ultimate trials are all targets that must be defeated. And those that are extremely difficult and absolutely evil should be the primary targets to be vigilant against and defeated.

However, after learning the true nature of its existence, they, as humans, find it difficult to feel any ill will towards it, and even feel a sense of gratitude.

People always have respect and pity for those who silently dedicate themselves in the darkness, bear the burden of sins and forge ahead, paving the way forward.

In the short term, the habit of using absolute evil to control evil is actually a great thing for humanity, as it invisibly curbs the possibility of many disasters.

Anything that can be called evil is more or less unfriendly to humanity and should undoubtedly be eliminated.

When the evil dragon is finally beheaded by the night, this dream about the dragon-slaying hero comes to an end, and the restricted scenes that follow will not be shown.

Just as everyone trapped in the dream was drifting into unconsciousness and about to awaken, they heard that familiar voice again in the darkness.

It still seemed as if the author was questioning himself: "So, in all these long years, have the gods ever considered breaking free from the shackles of humanity and truly determining whether gods or humans came first? The answer is undoubtedly yes. Or rather—the world has already given its conclusion. In this situation, the existence of the Primal Candidates arose. That is, those who determine whether 'humanity' or 'gods' is the Primal. They are the candidates who will explore new 'origins.' Since the beginning is impossible to investigate, then the end will be used to verify the truth. When apocryphalism—the final trial of the strongest humanity—descends, the heroes of the future who can defeat apocryphalism, and the [missing information] they possess, will be the future they have pioneered. And humanity and the Primal Candidates corresponding to the gods will eventually clash. This is a war between human history and—mythological history. Therefore—gods are not trustworthy, or rather, it shouldn't be said that most gods are untrustworthy. Although we cannot rule out gods who are friendly to humanity and willing to stand on humanity's side—however…"

The sound ended there.

Those words, seemingly reflecting on the future and being mindful of potential dangers even in times of peace, planted a seed in people's hearts.

People have even already come up with the next line in their minds, but—are the gods who are truly willing to stand on the side of humanity still a minority?

Are "gods" unbelievable? No, it should be said that they are partly believable and partly unbelievable.

After all, when it comes to establishing which side is superior to which side, and the relationship between dualism and monism, given these personal interests, probably no one can sit still.

Anyone with ambition, aspirations, ideals, or aspirations (or even a god) would want to be a more ancient and ancient creator.

Does human history determine mythological history, or does mythological history determine human history?

Deciding who is the true master of this world, this endless universe, the center of the world—it's quite exciting to think about.

So the goddess Artemis should be believable, right? She descended to earth for the sake of humanity, and rebelled against the existence of the gods alone.

This prophetic dream revealed far too much information and concepts for them to process and decide which side to stand on.

Afterwards, everyone who regained consciousness remained in a daze for several days, filled with worry.

After a while, they realized they had been overthinking things.

Even if we were to establish candidates for the original text, what use would their strength and status be?

When the world collapses, the tall ones will hold it up, while the weak don't even have the right to touch that world. Since that's the case—well—! Then we should definitely support humanity!

As the saying goes, those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.

Odin's cruel treatment of humans as mere tools reveals the gods' attitude towards humanity.

That Indian hero god was even more ill-intentioned, dividing humanity into several classes, and deserved to be defeated in the end.
