With the strong support of the kingdom's official authorities, both its security and accuracy are extremely high.
This is also why countless people are willing to travel to the kingdom to see it.
But right now, the empire's ministers are sighing over this, not just because they envy the neighboring kingdom's profits.
Okay, that's part of the reason, but it's definitely not the key point.
Most importantly, as high-ranking officials in the empire, these veteran politicians were still quite clear-headed.
Just how adept are deities at hiding themselves?
Because they had seen a real god—Hermes.
In fact, Hermes' alias, Lipoort, was once quite well-regarded among the imperial nobility.
After all, this 'noble' was once the head of the Raiser family.
At that time, the Raiser family was also at its peak.
It wasn't until Victor of the Clevina family rose to prominence that the Raiser family began to encounter numerous setbacks and decline.
But this did not prevent the nobles from still showing respect to the head of the Raiser family.
After all, Hermes was originally the god of merchants, and as a merchant himself, he was extremely eloquent and had a keen business sense.
This made Hermes a very successful merchant even before his divine identity was revealed.
So what about that so-called God-King?
Why is he attracting so many people now?
Is it really just to attract some powerful people in the world to participate in some kind of "Gods' Arena"?
If a large number of people from the empire go there, will there be any danger?
Most importantly, once the yin and yang were in sync, the inhabitants of the empire developed a belief in the gods.
How should we deal with this country that prohibits the belief in gods?
These are all issues that the imperial leadership needs to consider.
In fact, not only were they undecided about this matter, but even their queen was...
At this moment, each minister slowly raised their head, their gazes fixed on Queen Aurelion on the throne.
The ruler of the empire sat powerlessly on his throne, as if his soul had been ripped from his body.
His eyes were vacant, his body limp, and he leaned against the throne as if paralyzed.
The ministers present couldn't help but sigh and shake their heads when they saw the Empress in such a state.
Ever since Her Majesty the Queen suddenly decided to issue a nationwide warrant for Viktor's arrest, for reasons unknown.
She began to become increasingly depressed, listless and dispirited all day long.
It was as if that once wise and decisive ruler had returned to her helpless teenage years ten years ago.
No one knew about the fire that broke out beneath the royal tombs some time ago.
After all, royal tombs are forbidden areas accessible only to members of the royal family.
This left the ministers unaware of the true reason behind the Queen's sudden arrest warrant for Victor.
Therefore, they could only attribute this to Her Majesty the Queen's mental instability and sudden lapse in judgment.
Seeing the oppressive silence enveloping the hall, one of the ministers finally couldn't help but stand up.
He bowed slightly to the Queen and spoke solemnly:
"Your Majesty, how should we deal with the deity that has descended upon the kingdom?"
"It is said that the god-king created a place called the 'Arena of the Gods,' where his undead warriors were stationed."
"I know, I know. He invited the world's strongest fighters to the arena and divided them into several levels based on their performance—"
I've heard there are silver, gold... and diamond masters and stuff like that?
"That's right. That God-King also plans to hold a 'World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament,' which is said to be open to only those who have reached the Master level or above."
The courtiers took this opportunity to chatter amongst themselves, their eyes occasionally glancing at the Empress sitting on the throne.
They were all eager for the Queen to take an interest in the information they were presenting and to break her silence.
Instead, they proactively offer insights to help them solve this problem that plagues countless ministers of the empire.
However, the empress they were eagerly awaiting seemed completely oblivious to their discussion.
She just suddenly started muttering to herself, repeating a certain word:
"The World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament... The World's Number One..."
However, upon hearing the Empress mention the "World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament," the ministers all breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Her Majesty the Queen has indeed listened to their advice.
Immediately afterwards, Aurelion's gaze finally refocused, and her eyes became bright and alert.
She looked down at the ministers and spoke softly:
"I see."
"You may all leave now."
Seeing that the Queen seemed to know what was going on, the ministers and nobles bowed to Aurelion and then left the palace one after another.
After the last minister left, Aurelion raised her head again, looking bewildered, and gazed once more at the horizon outside the palace.
A faint, subtle hope seemed to rekindle in the depths of her eyes.
It is as magnificent as the Milky Way in the starry sky, transparent and dazzling.
“Professor Victor.”
"I will definitely be there and completely defeat you."
