Victor disappeared.
At that moment, the same thought flashed through the minds of everyone present.
The residents were immediately thrown into a state of panic.
The heroes who had just saved them from disaster simply vanished into thin air?
The eldest prince was dumbfounded, staring at the spot where Victor had disappeared, his face showing an expression of disbelief.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"How...how is this possible?"
How could such a large, living person suddenly disappear right in front of them?
This cannot be explained by any known teleportation magic.
Because Victor simply vanished right before everyone's eyes.
Cocotte's eyes widened as well.
When Viktor disappeared, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a deep emptiness inside.
I have a feeling of inexplicable loss and sadness rising in my heart.
She frowned, lost in thought amidst the surrounding noise, unwilling to accept the truth.
No...that's not right.
Viktor couldn't have disappeared without a reason.
He's so powerful, perhaps he's just leaving temporarily.
And Viktor's sister is here too.
Thinking of this, Kokot looked down at Lia, who was still fast asleep.
When Leah wakes up, how should she explain Victor's mysterious disappearance to her?
In the silence, Hermes, who was lying on the ground, suddenly burst into a deep laugh:
"I see, I see..."
"No wonder he is so powerful despite being a human."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Hermes' laughter was laced with arrogance and sarcasm.
Everyone was drawn to the sudden burst of laughter, and all their eyes were fixed on Hermes.
The god who had just seemed incredibly aggrieved now appeared as a completely different person, a maniacal smile spreading across his face.
Countless residents looked at Hermes with strange eyes, their gazes filled with confusion.
Cocoy, who was above the clouds, was also drawn by the laughter and suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.
Oh no...
Victor is missing, who will control Hermes now?!
Sure enough, Hermes, who seemed to know everything, began to laugh wildly, his mouth stretching all the way to his ears.
He slowly stood up from his prone position, knelt on the ground, and leaned back slightly.
At this moment, Hermes' pupils widened, and the golden sand deep within his pupils began to flow again.
He flashed his pearly white teeth, opened his mouth to gaze at the sun-drenched sky, and declared wildly:
"I didn't lose! I didn't lose!"
"I am a god, how could a god lose to a human? I did not lose!"
The next second, Hermes' drooping golden wings suddenly rose up.
Its broad wings spread out, creating a strong gust of air.
Golden light slowly emanated from each feather, and the enormous wings completely shattered the shackles of magic.
As the sunlight fell, countless feathers, shimmering with golden light, drifted slowly down from the heights where wings were raised.
At this moment, Hermes seemed to be bathed in holy light.
His eyes widened, both mad and noble.
In that instant, the natural sparrow on Kokot's shoulder emitted the urgent voice of Heim Horn:
"Kokot, what happened!?"
"Hermes has gone out of control!?"
Seeing Hermes break free of his restraints, Cocoy frowned and responded just as anxiously:
"Heim, Viktor has disappeared!"
"What!"
The natural bird cried out in shock.
The tiny bird stuck out its long tongue, as if it might fall silent at any moment from shock.
Kokote asked anxiously:
"It's no use saying all this now, Heim. What should we do now?"
"Shouldn't we gather all the mages first...?"
Swoosh—
Before Kokot could finish speaking, a golden beam of light shot out from the front and pierced through the body of the natural sparrow on her shoulder.
In an instant, a loud explosion filled her ears.
Kokot winced in pain and raised his hand to cover his ears.
He felt a sharp pain in his head, and his gaze became slightly vacant.
She looked up, staring blankly in the direction from which the beam of light had come, the sharp roar still ringing in her ears.
Hermes raised a finger and pointed it at Kokot, a glimmer of golden light flowing from his finger.
He hovered in the air, his face no longer showing any madness, but instead regaining its usual nobility and composure.
Those swirling golden quicksand eyes exuded a chilling aura.
"I still want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to use my power in reality."
Hermes slowly lowered his head from the sky, his eyes coldly fixed on the dazed Erica on the ground.
She clutched Victor's trench coat tightly, her face blank, as if she had lost her soul.
Then Hermes opened his arms to receive the holy light, and his proud and ethereal voice rang out:
“I acknowledge Viktor’s strength, but…”
"He will never come back."
Upon hearing this, Erica's pupils widened instantly.
His lips moved, and he said in a trembling voice:
"How...how could this be..."
"Because he's a cheater!"
Hermes coldly declared:
"Cheaters in this world will surely suffer endless punishment!"
After saying this, Hermes seemed to have gone completely mad.
He looked up at the sky, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.
