Viktor did not react when the archmage reached out his hand to him.

At this moment, the scene became somewhat silent.

Because of Vega, countless viewers were plunged into terrifying hallucinations.

The whole world seemed to have been paused, and all sound came to an abrupt halt.

Both the earth and the sky were unusually quiet.

Even those few councilors below who were still able to move,

At this moment, upon hearing the Archmage's invitation to Victor, they were all stunned and speechless.

For example, Haim Horn.

He felt his mind was completely blank, as if the vast sky was about to collapse at any moment.

What?

What did the Grand Master say?

Heim Horn's pupils trembled as he stared blankly at the archmage above him, momentarily wondering if he was hallucinating.

However, the weight of those words was truly astonishing.

Although he tried his best not to believe it, the words still echoed in his ears, reminding him that it was not a false illusion.

He once thought the Archmage was a hero who wanted to save the world, but he never expected that he was the demon king who wanted to truly destroy the world.

Why?

Heim Horn couldn't understand it.

To be honest, he completely failed to grasp the logic in the Grand Master's words.

Just because no two people in the world can have the same name, does he want to kill all of humanity and destroy the entire world to reset everything?

Not only Heim Horn, but even Ryan Kent, who had initially looked forward to becoming a god, frowned deeply and looked ashen-faced.

Unexpectedly, all those councilors who became gods fell into a trap.

It turns out this was just a test orchestrated by the Grand Mage.

His purpose was merely to test whether the names of those 'gods' were correct and unique.

At this moment, Ryan Kent couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Recalling Heim Horn's initial words, those councilors who became gods lost their names and became puppets of their names.

Shouldn't a name be just a simple form of address?

What exactly was the Grand Master's purpose?

"Hmph, I won't agree."

Suddenly, a cold snort came from afar.

Heim Horn and Ryan Kent seemed to be awakened and looked behind them in the direction of the sound.

The gaze passed over the vast land and landed on a god of enormous size.

That's Hades.

He crossed his arms, his two bloodshot eyes seeming to spew forth flames from hell.

His muscular body seemed to have expanded, and the intense heat seemed to coursing through the veins beneath his skin.

His breathing was deep and powerful, and every movement exuded a fierce and tyrannical aura.

Upon seeing this enraged Hades, Heim Horn and the others were immediately intrigued.

Yes, that Hades is still here.

When the Archmage announced his intention to eliminate all humans and gods, this Hades was naturally the first to object.

"The cycle of life and death is an unchanging law; when someone dies, someone else is reborn."

"If everyone in the world dies, all the souls will gather in hell, and there will be no more reincarnation."

Because reincarnation is based on the condition of 'reproduction'.

As long as there is still reproduction in the human world, the souls of the dead in the underworld can return to a state of chaos after being judged.

To return to the human world and begin a new life.

This is the process of reincarnation.

But if all living beings on earth are killed by the Grand Mage, all the souls of the dead will never be able to return to the human world.

The path of reincarnation will also be completely closed.

As the god of the underworld, Hades knew this all too well.

If humanity were to become extinct, that would truly be extinction.

There will be no more new life.

"But……"

The archmage in the sky heard Hades's question.

He chuckled softly, then changed his tone, engaging in a confrontation with Hades.

"Don't you think it's very unfair? Only when the dead with names pass away can the newborn be born using their names."

Hades was taken aback by the question and felt somewhat puzzled.

What's unfair about that?

Humans throughout history die, and their souls await reincarnation to return to the world.

It's been like this for thousands of years, so what's unfair about it?

He has always acted according to this rule for so many years.

"So you can only be Hades."

The Grand Master chuckled twice, then continued,

"When those above die, those below begin the cycle of reincarnation, and then they regain their 'names' and can exist in the world."

"But let me ask you, has the number of dead you've encountered changed significantly over these thousand years?"

Upon hearing this, Hades frowned and fell into deep thought.

The number of dead in hell has indeed remained largely unchanged from beginning to end.

Although occasionally a small number may appear a hundred or two hundred years later.

Overall, however, the number of living people in the human world and the number of souls in the underworld has remained relatively stable.

Whenever someone in the human world successfully reproduces new life, he is responsible for sending a deceased soul back to the human world.

The cycle of life and death is that simple.

"Yes, so why is it that even after hundreds or even thousands of years have passed?"

"The number of deaths you're managing has remained at this number?"

"In other words, you probably haven't gotten stronger in a long time."

Hades was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

He had never thought about this problem from this perspective before.

Why is Hades so powerful? Because he rules the underworld and controls the reincarnation of the dead.
