After all, if the archmage really wanted to use his identity as the "creator of magic" for publicity...

They could easily smear all these gods.

But he did not do that.

It's as if he deliberately gave these gods a chance.

Of course, even the gods could not have foreseen this.

In an era when humanity was still uncivilized, a figure like a "Grand Mage" actually appeared.

That's right, gods don't use magic; they even abhor magic.

Any special power they unleash is, strictly speaking, referred to as "divine power."

This is a power that only gods can wield.

Thinking of this, Viktor couldn't help but glance at Vega on his shoulder again.

This evil god possesses a wealth of knowledge, primarily manifested in his exceptional magical abilities.

Victor himself was curious about where this raven had learned so much about magic.

According to Athena, Vega should have been an "outsider" deity like the other gods, and therefore should not have been able to use magic.

Could it be that it learned magic because it violated the rules of this world?

Unable to come up with a solution, he posed this question to the other party.

"Don't look at me like that."

Vega glanced at Viktor, his eyelids drooping, and said with a hint of helplessness,

"Like I said, I don't remember having any connection with those gods."

Vega had already explained this to Victor when they left the temple.

Simply put, don't get involved.

A noble evil god would never stoop to the level of these celestial beings.

Victor also thought this made a lot of sense, since evil gods like Vega did not belong to the same pantheon as gods like Zeus.

It seems impossible for them to get to know each other.

However, all the gods knew the name "Harbuk, the evil god".

The fear Hermes showed when facing this evil god was also evident.

They clearly held a deep fear of this evil god.

This also suggests that they may have had some interaction before that.

"In short, I can't tell you the things you want to know."

Vega helplessly spread his two full-feathered wings and sighed.

"I have been familiar with the power of magic ever since I became conscious."

I even suspect that the great mage plagiarized the knowledge in my head.

Finally, Vega muttered to himself.

As for the fact that it was treated as a virus, there's no way to deny that.

The evil god Habaka once wiped out half the world's population in one fell swoop, a feat recorded throughout history.

Even Vega himself said he had an impression of it.

Regardless of whether Vega violated the rules, this behavior alone is enough to classify him as a virus.

Eliminating half the population at once was something even Viktor had never considered.

Moreover, they didn't even know why Habika had slaughtered so many humans.

If this evil god becomes emotionally unstable and one day suddenly decides to wipe out the remaining half of humanity, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Viktor was not surprised by Vega's explanation.

After all, even the gods only had the simple wish to go home.

But even they themselves didn't know where their home was or what their destination was.

After arriving in this world, Victor also couldn't remember his real name.

Similarly, it seems reasonable that Vega forgot some things.

"So what's next? What do we do next?"

Seeing that Viktor was deep in thought, Vega also returned to her usual relaxed demeanor, chirping merrily with her beak open.

The problem of the gods has now been largely resolved.

Next, all we need to do is wait for the challenge at the Arena of Gods, and then we can capture them all in one fell swoop.

However, despite Victor's careful planning, some unexpected problems still arose.

For example, among the twelve Olympian gods, one god has not yet returned.

Furthermore, despite the fact that the goddess of fertility had been corrupted, Michaela still failed to succeed her as the new deity.

Now, she seems to have everything she needs.

The faith of the entire church, the power of the goddess of abundance, and even her own abundance are in no way inferior.

Moreover, after being corrupted, the goddess of fertility transformed into the "dark and fertile mother goddess," and no believers continue to worship her.

Many people even regard her as an evil god because of this.

Nevertheless, Michaela was still unable to claim the position of the goddess of fertility.

This means that among the twelve main gods, in addition to the ten that have been controlled, there are two gods who have not yet been controlled.

Athena also revealed the location of the two goddesses to Victor—they were still in the heavens.

With this in mind, Viktor already had a follow-up objective.

"While Athena and the others are still of use, let's go to the Heavenly Realm."

"Huh?"

After hearing this, Wei Jia was taken aback, paused for a few seconds, then widened his eyes and asked in shock:

"No, buddy?"

"You even know how to get there?"

It had thought that Victor's escape from hell was already amazing enough.

Unexpectedly, he even knew the route to the Heavenly Realm.

"Tsk, they were right after all."

"Compared to me, you are more like that evil god who ignores the rules."

Vega clicked his tongue twice, looked Viktor up and down, and gave him an "I knew it" look.

Victor responded in a calm tone:

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Now, it's time for us to go find that mysterious archmage."
