The crowd standing in the central square fell into a deep daze.
But the next second, they all woke up with a start.
What just happened?
It seemed that in an instant, they witnessed Victor suddenly appear before Hermes.
However, all they saw was Victor's appearance.
In everyone's hazy memory, Viktor neither spoke nor made any move.
But at this moment, when they suddenly looked at Hermes, who was kneeling on the ground.
They saw Hermes' golden eyes gradually fading, now filled with a blank and empty look.
Deep within his pupils, not even a sliver of light could be reflected; his clear consciousness seemed to have been completely devoured.
It's like a soulless shell, standing alone on the earth.
Everyone felt something was off. How could the god who was just so arrogant suddenly turn into this?
Of all of them, only Aubrey stood with his hands behind his back, giving Victor a deep look, seemingly lost in thought.
Upon seeing that the deity had suddenly lost consciousness, many residents boldly approached and curiously examined him.
In their eyes, Hermes was like a body with its eyes open but in a deep coma.
The once proud god has now fallen into such a sorry state, inevitably drawing criticism and gossip from the crowd.
"This guy dares to call himself a god? Bah!"
"If I were a believer and knew that these gods were actually like this, I would have hanged myself long ago."
"Fortunately, the empire prohibits the worship of gods."
All the people present were discussing it intensely, increasingly convinced that the empire was right to ban the belief in gods.
Because Hermes, as a god, appears too fragile and powerless.
This is far removed from the traditional public perception of deities as lofty and invincible.
Despite being residents of the empire, they were forbidden from worshipping gods.
However, the impression of deities during childhood or throughout life should be one of nobility and invincibility.
Instead of being as destitute and powerless as Hermes is now before us.
After this battle, everyone present from the Empire realized one fact.
It turns out that the gods are not as mysterious and noble as they imagined.
Gods like Hermes might only use special divine powers and strategies to manipulate humans.
At that moment, the majesty of the gods, hidden in everyone's hearts, collapsed with a deafening roar.
It shattered into chaotic dust and vanished without a trace.
Gods? Just lucky humans.
Aside from their divine powers, they are no different from ordinary people.
However, when the crowd pointed and whispered about the unconscious Hermes...
But they didn't notice.
Deep within Hermes's pupils, which were as solid as golden sand and devoid of consciousness, gleamed a jet-black and crimson eyeball.
Like a spark, it flickers slightly from time to time.
Victor didn't look at Hermes again, but slowly raised his head, gazing intently at the sky with deep eyes.
The thick clouds that had piled up in the sky like fiery sunset clouds gradually began to dim.
The layers of clouds gradually broke apart, turning into huge red clouds that slowly dissipated.
As the darkness faded, light gradually streamed down from the sky, piercing through the layers of azure and clear sky.
As everything around her gradually calmed down, Erica, who had been floating in mid-air, slowly fell back to the ground.
Her brows furrowed, her clear eyes filled with anxiety and worry, and she nervously asked Victor:
"Professor, are you...are you alright?"
Erica, having recovered, suddenly remembered.
She was in a state of extreme anxiety because of Professor Victor's sudden disappearance.
Hermes, who was radiating golden light, kept spewing arrogant remarks at the professor, which made Erica, who was already anxious, unable to bear it any longer.
She subconsciously put on the professor's trench coat, unconsciously using the residual calamity power on it.
Furthermore, she addressed the professor by his first name.
Erica felt that none of these things were right.
Although she was extremely happy to see Professor Victor reappear.
But thinking about what she had done before, Erica became extremely nervous.
She wasn't sure if Professor Victor had heard her call her by her first name, or if he would be angry with her for it.
Just as Erica was struggling with her thoughts, Victor turned around and looked at her.
She quickly took off her oversized trench coat and handed it back to Victor.
“Yes…right, Professor.”
"Your trench coat."
Viktor looked at the familiar black trench coat Erica handed him and softly said "thank you."
At this moment, all thoughts in Erica's mind vanished.
Instead, they were filled with joy.
Did she successfully help Professor Victor?
Erica was unaware.
However, at that time, there was a distinct impulse in my mind.
She must wear this trench coat and use the power within it.
Erica was also unaware of this.
This trench coat is a concrete manifestation of Victor's calamity-inducing power.
In the trial prison, those powerful calamities were mercilessly sealed away.
However, it was in this adversity that Erica unexpectedly activated the calamity power sealed deep within her trench coat.
The dormant power of calamity gradually awakens under some inexplicable call, instinctively seeking out its master to draw power from.
