"That's about it."
Meanwhile, under Nyx's frenzied pull, the heavy stars continued to bombard Victor.
The surrounding darkness seemed endless, converging from all directions, attempting to trap Viktor and tear him apart completely.
However, Victor, who was always able to skillfully evade Nyx's attacks, was no exception this time.
The hellfire on his body suddenly surged up, transforming into a dazzling meteor that swiftly darted through the gaps in the attacks.
Nyx stared wide-eyed at Victor, who was approaching like a blazing sun, and subconsciously mobilized his divine power.
The dark purple divine power around her began to swirl and coil.
In an instant, a barrier as clear as crystal rose up in front of her.
The dark mud above it rippled slightly, revealing a distorted shape.
To create this barrier, Nyx focused almost all his attention on it.
As a result, the number of those chaotic and collapsing stars has decreased significantly.
To Nyx's surprise, Victor did not attack her directly with his spear.
Instead, he stood on a suspended star, gazing at her with fiery eyes that shone from within his helmet.
A deep sound emanated from inside his helmet:
There's something I'm curious about.
Upon hearing this, Nyx slightly clenched his fingers, and the falling stars instantly froze in mid-air.
Even though she was fighting Victor, she was a god.
But she still maintains her divine demeanor and answers the other person's questions.
So she stopped attacking and looked at Victor calmly and with a hint of doubt.
But a barely perceptible hostility still flickered in his eyes.
"We can't keep fighting like this. Why can't we negotiate a peace?"
Victor's words silenced Nyx for a moment.
After a moment's thought, she spoke again:
"These are the rules, and neither you nor I can change them."
“Since I am Nyx, I must abide by the rules, and you who try to ignore the rules are my enemy.”
And Nyx has learned his lesson.
After all, her attacks couldn't inflict any effective damage on Viktor.
So she decided to simply maintain her impenetrable defenses.
Since she can't hit Viktor, she just needs to make sure he can't break through her defenses either.
She only realized this strategy after hearing Viktor's words.
As long as Viktor cannot break through her barrier, she doesn't need to worry about him leaving.
All she needed to do was keep Viktor trapped in this endless darkness.
But just then, she suddenly heard a soft laugh coming from a human on the ground.
There seemed to be a hint of helplessness mixed in that laughter.
Viktor slowly raised his head, his eyes, illuminated by the orange flames, swaying with his movement.
The flames bursting from the helmet were like a wisp of soul about to leave the body.
His voice rang out softly:
"So even though your 'brother' is about to be in danger, you're going to keep dragging this out with me?"
Upon hearing this, Nyx's massive body trembled violently.
Even the stars in the night sky seemed to twinkle because of her tremors.
"What?"
She didn't quite understand what Victor was saying.
Why would this human suddenly mention her 'brother'?
No, the most important point is, how exactly did he know that?
Perhaps sensing Nyx's confusion, Victor didn't answer directly, but instead continued softly:
"If Erebus sees you constantly entangled with a human, I wonder if it might cause some unnecessary misunderstandings."
"However... I think he's probably in serious trouble now."
Viktor's words caused an extremely strong emotional reaction from the supreme deity before him for the first time.
Even Nyx never imagined that such a thing would happen.
This was the first time in her long life that she felt a distinct sense of panic.
Seeing Nyx become uneasy, even the barrier in front of her seemed to weaken a bit.
At that moment, Viktor's entire body was engulfed in flames.
The terrifying heat engulfed the surrounding deathly darkness.
But the voice emanating from the crimson armor was unusually calm, even carrying a hint of cold mockery:
"Have you had enough of the wails of hell?"
"Now, it's time to hear the pain from the abyss."
