The Arena of the Gods continued as usual, but over the next few days, many strange noises began to emanate from the city of Shulburn.

The topic that people used to talk about is no longer focused on the higher-level stronger individuals who came to challenge them.

We will no longer discuss who is stronger or who is more likely to qualify for the World Martial Arts Tournament.

Instead, the topic has shifted, and the current focus of discussion has become—

Who is the most beautiful woman in the world?

Some time ago, a piece of news spread like wildfire throughout the city.

The main point of this message is that the goddess of nature created a divine tree out of thin air in Shulbon.

And this tree is the legendary divine tree that bears golden apples.

That is the towering tree that stands outside the arena today.

Legend has it that this sacred tree bears only one fruit at its crown, possessing immense divine power.

Even beings that are not gods are entitled to this golden apple.

But the only condition is that only the most beautiful woman in the world can remove it.

This rumor has been told by countless people, although the content has changed slightly.

But the condition that "only the most beautiful woman can pluck the golden apple" has never changed.

Before long, even the Mage Council came forward to confirm the original version of the news and its authenticity.

Shortly after this news spread, the Arena of the Gods in Shulburn welcomed a special challenger.

The challenger was surrounded by an ethereal oceanic aura.

Surging ripples swirled around her, carrying her fishtail-like lower body swiftly to this land.

Upon seeing this challenger of such unusual race, the countless spectators in the arena were all dumbfounded.

According to reports, the mermaid claims to be Lorelei, a member of the Mage Council.

When she participated in the Arena of the Gods, the councilor made even more bold statements.

She wants to be the most beautiful woman in the world.

Only in this way can she gain the approval of the world's strongest bear-man and thus achieve her own happiness.

As for who the world's most powerful bear-man is, many audience members were unaware.

But what's important is seeing members of the Dharma Council personally step forward.

People immediately realized that the legend of the golden apple was likely true.

In a short time, more and more women flocked to Shulbourne.

Their goal was very clear: to participate in the Gods' Arena for the legendary golden apple.

After all, there is only one legendary golden apple.

All women need a stage to showcase themselves and compete for the chance to win the golden apple.

Therefore, the Arena of the Gods has become the fairest arena for competition.

It seems that the legend of the golden apple has changed its meaning in a short period of time.

It is no longer something that only the most beautiful person in the world can obtain; rather, anyone who obtains it will become the most beautiful person in the world.

It seems like everyone is vying for the golden apple.

"Isn't this the effect you wanted, Viktor?"

Vega opened her sharp beak, her eyes gleaming, and chirped at Victor beside her.

At this moment, they were in the audience seats, and Victor used invisibility magic to conceal his figure.

And the spot where Vega stood was also quite tricky.

It was standing on Erica.

At this moment, Erica, wearing a black trench coat and a mask, is sitting in the [special audience seat] where she is a contestant.

Apart from her golden ponytail, no one could tell who she was.

That's why, when Vega stood on Erica, no one realized that he was actually Victor's raven.

After all, Erica had already announced it to everyone when she participated in the Arena of the Gods.

She was one of Viktor's suitors.

So, as Viktor's suitor, it's not unreasonable for him to also have a raven to imitate Viktor, right?

Meanwhile, the number of women in the city of Shulbourne is increasing dramatically, all for the sake of winning the title of "the most beautiful woman in the world".

Vega knew that it was all because of Victor.

After news of the Golden Apple spread throughout the world, its credibility was enhanced through official recognition by the Council of Mages.

Then, leverage the popularity of the Arena of Gods for further promotion.

In fact, Victor never explicitly mentioned that the legend of the Golden Apple Tree was directly related to the Arena of the Gods.

Just because they are both located in the same area of ​​Shulburn, many people naturally associate the two.

Furthermore, with the assistance of Councilor Lorelei, the Golden Apple naturally became an item that could only be obtained through competition.

So much so that almost no one realized it after the Golden Apple incident.

The Golden Apple has absolutely nothing to do with the Arena of the Gods.

However, Councilor Lorelei made the announcement specifically in the Arena of the Gods in order to obtain the Golden Apple.

As for that God-King? He didn't even come forward to clarify the topic.

After all, the huge tree outside of Shulburn had nothing to do with him.

Moreover, he never claimed that participating in the Gods' Arena would grant one the so-called Golden Apple.

Of course, the fact that the news spread so smoothly was indeed related to that extraordinary giant tree in Shulburn.

After all, people could sense the extraordinary aura of that giant tree from afar.

Recently, that sacred tree has even been sealed off by a mysterious force, preventing anyone from getting close.

This was discovered by tourists who had previously come to Shulbong hoping to get a close look at the sacred tree, only to bump into the wall.

This subtly deepened everyone's impression of this phenomenon.
