Ragnarok ends with the destruction of both humanity and the gods, but it also marks the beginning of a new world.

This is at least how it is recorded in Odin's mythology.

Therefore, when the archmage proclaimed himself Odin and announced the initiation of 'Ragnarok',

Victor then noticed something strange about it.

Why did Odin become the one to trigger Ragnarok? Has Odin gone mad?

Why not just leave the perfectly good God-King there, instead of going on to destroy all the gods?

This is truly illogical.

However, considering that all of humanity is only familiar with the gods of the Zeus lineage.

For Odin, Ragnarok meant nothing more than the destruction of other factions of gods.

Viktor reluctantly accepted the fact that Odin had initiated Ragnarok.

Nevertheless, Victor remained wary of the Archmage.

So, after he had slaughtered all the gods in the world, Odin reappeared.

They claim they will continue to initiate Ragnarok, with the intention of annihilating all of humanity.

The rest of the gods had already died in Victor's schemes, leaving at most Hades in this world.

However, Hades will not compete with Odin for faith.

He only needs the faith of the dead to sit securely on the throne of the god-king.

Therefore, Odin and Hades kept to themselves and did not interfere with each other, so how could they possibly fight for faith?

If that's the case, then why did Odin still initiate Ragnarok, destroy the world, and exterminate all of humanity?

Therefore, the answer is already clear.

"Just as you said, because you are Loki."

Viktor's voice came through, cold and indifferent.

"Therefore, initiating Ragnarok is the mission bestowed upon you by your name."

"You cannot resist."

Loki listened to Victor's words, seemingly quite satisfied, narrowed his eyes, and nodded.

It was as if Victor wasn't talking about him, but rather some bystander who had nothing to do with them.

"I see, that's why my guess came true."

"After all, you understand the importance of a 'name'."

Loki reopened his eyes, and at that moment, his golden armor and eagle helmet turned into golden sand and vanished without a trace.

Since he is no longer 'Odin', he should not continue to dress up as Odin.

However, the spear in his hand remained in its original form, showing no sign of disappearing.

"Therefore, you should be able to understand me; Ragnarok is inevitable."

As soon as he finished speaking, Viktor could clearly feel it.

Loki's powerful aura was rapidly diminishing.

From initially surpassing the level 80 limit, it has now begun to drop in level.

Lv81, lv80

Even level 79, 78, 76...

The level is plummeting at an alarming rate, like a countdown ticking away.

He is no longer the god-king he was when he was 'Odin'.

This is quite normal.

Since he is no longer 'Odin', the faith that originally belonged to 'Odin' should naturally not belong to Loki.

However, even if he is no longer Odin, the faith he originally gained should still have some effect for a short time.

For orthodox deities, the power derived from faith is the power they possess continuously.

For example, the goddess of justice is also a level 80 deity.

Because she has a great deal of faith to support her, and this faith is inexhaustible and can be replenished at any time.

Therefore, she can maintain the level of a God-King at level 80.

But when the identity shifts to Vega, the Vega who stole the faith of one hundred million believers from the Goddess of Justice...

What she received was only a one-time power.

Once this faith, numbering in the hundreds of millions, is used up, it will truly be gone.

Because those believers are dead.

Moreover, even if they don't die, the object of the faith of the "Goddess's Believers" is not Vega.

Therefore, strictly speaking, Loki could maintain a certain level of power and status even without using these beliefs.

But it was illogical that his strength would decline so rapidly.

Therefore, there is only one explanation:

Loki is using these powers of faith.

Ultimately, Victor watched as Loki's level dropped to seventy.

This is precisely the level at which one has just entered the realm of 'god'.

At the same time, Loki's name also changes noticeably.

He was no longer Odin, but had become—

Loki, the god of fire and lies.

All these changes have their reasons.

Because Loki abandoned the name 'Odin' and abandoned all human faith in 'Odin'.

"Although, my magical skills are quite good."

Loki chuckled softly, but a hint of helplessness lingered at the corners of his mouth.

"But a disguise is still a disguise,"

“Even if there were no ‘Odin’ in this world, I still could not become the ‘God of Magic’.”

So, that's settled then.

The moment the words fell,

Whoosh—

A sudden, unexpected gust of cold wind swept across the land.

White fluff drifted down from the sky, covering the soil and forming a thin white veil.

In this frigid atmosphere, the temperature dropped sharply, and the cracked soil hardened like iron, turning a dull gray color.

Whether it's the demi-human kneeling on one knee or Hades in the distance.

Their bodies were covered by the constantly falling snow, dotted with pale, cold stars.

"This is the prelude to Ragnarok, a long and harsh winter."
