A violent storm swirled up from the sky, and a chaotic downpour poured down from the thick clouds.

In an instant, the heavy, dark clouds collided with the restless, twisted flesh and blood.

They suddenly cast a deep shadow over the earth, instantly engulfing this arena of gods.

Countless raindrops, carried by the chaotic wind, rose from the ground and quickly drew hazy, crystalline lines in the air.

As the land of Shulburn descended into madness, the millions of spectators in the arena were all stunned.

A dark purple lightning flashed in their eyes as they let the storm and rain lash at them, soaking their clothes.

The landscape changed so rapidly that people didn't have time to figure out what was happening.

Everyone was kept in the dark.

The only clear thing was that an atmosphere of despair was spreading like a plague, infecting everyone.

The aura of danger and death was so strong that it invaded their hearts and disturbed their thoughts.

The appearance of Victor, in particular, the arrival of this henchman of the evil god, instilled fear in countless people.

Now, with the sudden rise of wind and thunder, an extraordinary rage has enveloped the earth.

Just standing there, the audience felt a chill run down their spines and their flesh trembled.

At this point, most people were no longer able to think about why Viktor was there.

They didn't even have the energy to question Victor's purpose and motives.

In such a depressing atmosphere, Viktor's appearance did not feel out of place to anyone.

It's as if he was destined to be a major villain.

A major villain whose challenge the entire world needs to take on.

No one doubted Viktor's strength, and no one questioned whether he was capable of challenging the entire world.

Because he is Viktor, he must possess such strength!

That's right, that was the common thought of everyone in the arena when Victor appeared.

Fear, panic, helplessness, despair...

These emotions quickly spread throughout the crowd, resonating in everyone's hearts.

"Could it be... today is the end of the world...?"

"We...we were perfectly fine just now, how could this happen so suddenly..."

"Someone, someone, please save us!"

At this moment, countless people cast hopeful glances at the god-king clad in thunder.

Everyone hoped that he could save them, these mortals, from fire and water and protect their peace.

However, none of them noticed that Zeus's gaze was more solemn than anyone else's at that moment.

The plan for the gods' return has finally succeeded.

That's right.

By uniting humanity's faith, other deities also return to the human world.

Despite some minor mishaps along the way, he ultimately succeeded.

However, the return of the gods raises a more obvious problem.

These newly returned gods have become the common enemy of the entire world.

After returning to Earth and spending some time there, Zeus realized a fact.

Humans today no longer feel the same gratitude they did a thousand years ago towards the gods who taught them how to make fire, farm, and hunt.

If you want them to worship you, you must offer them enough sweet treats.

And what is the reward? It's satisfying their needs.

However, it is difficult to generate demand from all humans in a short period of time.

After all, modern human life no longer requires them to teach how to make fire, cook, plant, or hunt.

Perhaps if a god were to teach humans how to make fire now, they would simply pull out a magic stone lighter.

And we must also tell these gods:

'We must believe in magic.'

Since most people have become well-off, if we want them to give up their faith, we need to create demand for them.

So Zeus created an arena for the gods in the human world.

They attempt to improve their status and recognition by stimulating competition among humans, and to become stronger through challenges and trials.

In the process of becoming stronger, if the gods can provide power, these humans will naturally not refuse.

However, drawbacks also arise.

Faith relationships built solely on power are not strong, and people's faith is not fanatical.

They worship not the gods themselves, but the blessings that bring power.

The actions of the human in the sky caused panic among humans regarding the gods who were about to return.

After all, most humans know how to seek advantage and avoid harm most of the time.

Now, the seven gods in the sky who have been infused with the evil golden apple do not look like good people.

not to mention,

Victor himself said that the seven gods had become his lackeys.

In this situation, how could these humans not be afraid?

Zeus was helpless, but he also understood that...

He fell for the trap.

Zeus's gaze was fixed on the humans floating in mid-air ahead.

This human being might be comparable to a god.

"Where did you hear about the legend of the golden apple?"

Zeus's voice was perfectly timed, just enough for Viktor to hear, but not enough for the other humans to notice.

The story of the golden apple was originally known only to the gods.

Because this story has never been told in this world.

Now, seeing the pile of golden apples before Victor, Zeus knew...

This is not a fulfillment of the legend of the golden apple, but rather that the human in front of me already knew about the golden apple.

The other party created the Golden Apple based on the legend of the Golden Apple and told everyone about the legend of the Golden Apple.

Now, Zeus has every reason to be suspicious.
