But as if it were destiny, every powerful being was waiting to be defeated by Viktor.
Viktor always manages to win.
Hermes was not convinced; he refused to admit defeat.
At that moment, he made up his mind.
He must defeat Victor.
Because he is a god.
The pride of a god would not allow him to lose to humankind.
Therefore, Hermes has affected everything, including all the means he left behind in the empire when he was human.
He manipulated the hidden dangers in the south and exploited the demons left in the second prince.
With the help of the elves and Rivi's daughter, the final catastrophe was summoned.
A single move could have far-reaching consequences, leading to the destruction of the entire capital.
He wanted to see if Viktor could still achieve victory despite such a huge disadvantage.
But the final result—
Finally, Hermes's eyes fixed on it again.
The image freezes on Urano's defeat, and on Victor, who stands triumphantly in mid-air.
Victor has won once again.
"But, you know that."
Hermes smiled calmly, his eyes flashing with golden light that seemed to cover the entire space.
Indeed, Hermes was not only a merchant.
He was also a cunning thief.
A phantom pattern covered Urano's body.
Its originally massive, earth-colored body shone with an intense golden light, becoming like a phantom.
Hermes, seeing the scene before him, burst into laughter:
"You have indeed won against me."
"But so what?"
Urano before my eyes is gradually disappearing into the illusion.
Hermes stood atop it, his face filled with ecstasy and enjoyment.
It was as if they were enjoying their final victory.
"You brought so many mages, even at the cost of destroying the entire capital, and won this battle."
"But you gained nothing."
Hermes used the gods' protection to save Uranus from his impending death.
He wouldn't allow Victor to completely defeat Urano.
"As long as you cannot break through this illusion, the calamity will regain its full power with my help."
"By then, when you're completely exhausted, how will you win a second time?"
Upon hearing this, the residents of the central square looked up, glaring angrily at the fanatical Hermes, their hearts filled with boundless rage.
It turns out that all of this was done by this god.
Disaster struck; the capital was destroyed.
And now, he even wants this terrible disaster to befall the capital once again!
However, they were powerless to stop Hermes's smugness.
In the end, the clenched fist could only helplessly loosen.
They could only watch silently as Hermes sat atop the rock giant's head, displaying the supreme and noble posture of a god.
Looking down at the silent Viktor from his high vantage point, he calmly delivered the final judgment of this battle.
"This is not a battlefield for the gods, and the goddess of justice will no longer protect you."
"So, you win."
"I stole it."
Boom—!!!
Suddenly, Urano, who had only 5% health left, began to tremble violently.
The tremor caused the entire capital city to shake, as if the land itself was experiencing a terrifying shock.
Even Hermes, who was sitting atop Uranus, showed a hint of surprise, his golden eyes fixed on the commotion below.
This powerful tremor also attracted the attention of the entire population, who were all taken aback.
They hurriedly looked up at the massive Urano.
At this moment, its body trembled, and the solid rock covering it collapsed with a crash.
Dust swirls up, and the body crumbles.
Even the six orange-tinged pupils gradually lost their light.
"What... happened?"
Hermes was filled with doubt and uncertainty; he could clearly sense that Urano had lost his drive.
It was as if someone had taken away the last bit of my life.
Suddenly, he felt a burning gaze piercing him from a great distance.
Hermes then raised his head and looked south, towards a place far away from the square, through the eyes of flowing golden sand.
There, he saw it.
Located south of the capital, a colossal rock giant stands silently atop the ruins.
It seemed to be devoid of any consciousness, as if it were merely a lifeless statue.
That was the last remaining rock giant among the five rock giants summoned by Urano.
Suddenly, Hermes' eyes widened.
A cold glint flashed, and the chilling sword light descended from above, severing the rock giant's body.
boom--
The rock giant's body shattered, falling piece by piece onto the ruins of the earth, stirring up dust waves that obscured the land.
Hermes' gaze was unfocused, but he couldn't help but look at the figure that had launched the attack.
The other person also turned around, their golden eyes meeting his gaze beneath the silver-white helmet.
She was a female knight dressed in silver-white snow mastiff armor.
Finally, she took off her helmet and tossed her snow-white silver hair aside.
Under the sunlight, it radiated a sharp, righteous light.
"Justice... Goddess..."
Hermes paused slightly, then murmured to himself.
Finally, Hermes, realizing everything, turned his attention back to Victor.
The other party appeared unusually calm.
But Hermes saw in him an air of confidence that suggested he was in complete control and mastery.
"Do you really want to beat me?"
"pity."
In Viktor's eyes, Urano's health bar gradually dropped from 5% to 0%.
At that moment, a gentle breeze began to rise, dispersing all the dust waves that had been stirred up.
Bright light once again enveloped the earth, and the warm sunlight covered everyone.
It seems that warmth and peace of mind have seeped into everyone's heart:
"I think I have the upper hand."
