As soon as Victor finished speaking, Erica's brain seemed to freeze for a second.
"Huh? I'm playing against Gwen!?"
Did she hear wrong? Professor Victor actually told her to defeat Miss Gwen?
Finally, she widened her eyes, craned her neck, and pointed incredulously at herself.
"Really?"
How can she beat Gwen, the one who beat her to a pulp during her training sessions?
Immediately afterwards, Viktor's affirmative voice came from beside him again:
"Yes, you hit Gwen."
"Don't forget, this is a challenge you were supposed to take anyway."
In an instant, Erica's face fell.
She almost forgot,
When she said she wanted to pursue Professor Victor, he did give her the opportunity.
But on the condition that she overcomes the calamity and Miss Gwen.
Now, the professor actually wants her, someone who struggled even during the battle against the calamity, to directly challenge the final level and fight against Miss Gwen?
this……
Erica pondered for a minute.
If she can really defeat Gwen, does she still need the Apple of Gwen?
It would be better to just rape the professor on the spot; the probability of that is probably higher than defeating Miss Gwen.
As she was deep in thought,
Suddenly, the sky seemed to crack open, and a thunderous roar resounded, shaking the earth.
At the same time, a beam of bright yellow lightning struck violently amidst a deafening roar.
It traversed the turbulent space and ignited an electric arc in the cold.
In an instant, a massive, cracked crater was cleaved open in the arena, which was shrouded in white frost and mist.
The shimmering yellow light illuminated the faces of all the spectators present, who stared wide-eyed, their eyes filled with awe.
The thunder in the sky gradually dissipated, revealing the figure of a god-king.
His robust body was surrounded by layers of lightning, and his majestic eyes were crackling with dense arcs of electricity.
His thick beard swayed in the lightning-driven storm, and the golden crown of thunder on his head shimmered with dazzling light under the lightning.
He lowered his head, his gaze serious, staring intently at 'Gwen' in front of him, as if trying to discern her true identity.
Similarly, Gwen raised her head and met the gaze of the god-king with unwavering resolve.
"Wha...what's going on?"
The scene before them left countless spectators speechless, and a profound sense of bewilderment overwhelmed them.
Could it be that Gwen knows this god-king?
Just as everyone was wondering why the God-King had suddenly appeared, the majestic Thunder King remained silent for a moment.
Then, he slowly shook his head.
"You are not her."
"Although you look very similar to her, you are not the same person."
The words had barely left his mouth when, before the surrounding audience could even begin to ponder their meaning,
A deafening bolt of divine thunder exploded beside the God-King, then violently struck the earth.
In a flash, dense arcs of electricity immediately flickered across the cracked dust.
Then, bathed in light.
Countless expressionless, heavily armored warriors, like controlled machines, emerged one after another from the cleaved earth.
Ten, a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand.
From high above, these warriors, like a gray torrent of steel, their dense metallic clang and the friction against the earth, shook the eardrums of everyone present.
This scene caused the expressions of many audience members to change drastically.
Because usually only those at the Platinum level or above are qualified to challenge a thousand warriors simultaneously.
Facing tens of thousands of enemies at the same time, only Aurelion, the strongest master-level player today, could possibly do it.
Then, the high and mighty god-king slowly spoke, and a deep, resonant murmur echoed from the sky:
"Because you look very similar to her, therefore,"
"I will personally oversee your challenge."
Upon hearing this, countless spectators in the stadium looked up, their eyes wide with shock as they gazed into the air.
"What? The God-King is going to personally oversee Gwen's challenge?"
What an extraordinary treatment!
No wonder this god-king suddenly appeared.
Suddenly, the crowd began to realize something:
This god-king appeared only three times in the Arena of Gods, and each time it was closely related to the Empire.
The first time was to grant Aurelion the Diamond rank.
The second was a mysterious woman wearing a trench coat and a mask, who claimed to be Victor's suitor.
Although no one knows her exact identity, she is very likely also from the Empire.
After all, the other side not only knew Viktor, but even dared to declare war on the empress in public.
This suggests that there may have been some grudges between them.
The third one is none other than Gwen, who now holds the position of Imperial Knight Commander.
Why are the women of the Empire so special? Or is it because these three are all connected to Viktor that they seem special?
Many people are very confused and frustrated by this, especially the challengers.
Sensing the unusual activity in the arena, Gwen lowered her head, her gaze sweeping across the vast ocean of steel around her.
The soldiers were dressed in heavy armor and carried heavy long swords.
Although they moved clumsily, their sheer numbers made each fall of the long sword a terrifying, awe-inspiring wave.
At this moment, Gwen squinted, carefully examining the warriors who were encased in what appeared to be rock-like structures.
She could feel it clearly through her eyes.
Strictly speaking, these heavily armored soldiers are not human at all.
They are merely some special kind of life form, whose souls are embedded in a body that can be constantly reshaped by special abilities.
This allows them to continuously revive.
As long as the forces of nature continue to supply them, they will never die.
