Since this plan was devised from the beginning, wouldn't the ever-cautious Viktor have considered the loopholes in it?
Of course he will.
Whether he deliberately achieved defeat or victory in battle, or nurtured three characters out of time to make them stronger, leading to his own downfall.
This was all part of Victor's carefully planned strategy.
Once this goal is achieved, Victor will have secured his victory.
Therefore, to prevent the plan from being leaked, Victor deliberately revealed his identity as a messenger of the evil god.
They chose to declare war on this world and manipulated numerous gods.
He misled people into believing that he was actually on the side of the gods and was attempting to conquer the entire world.
He had made all the preparations and was determined not to fail.
Everything was going according to his meticulous plan.
Victor's goal is victory.
He must succeed in defeating the three who deviated from the plan, and in winning the whole world.
The thought of victory had surpassed everything else in Viktor's mind.
Similarly, it wouldn't matter if those three ultimately won, because Viktor had already done his best.
The task of those three men was to defeat Viktor, who insisted that he had to win.
The archmage stroked his beard gently, and after a moment's thought, agreed with Victor's words.
"Hmm, not a bad strategy."
He nodded in agreement, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if praising Viktor's ingenious plan.
The Grand Master also noticed it.
Viktor did not abandon either of these goals, or rather,
This can be understood as Viktor putting the eggs in two baskets.
Whether he ultimately triumphed or failed, he achieved one of his goals.
He will surely achieve a victory.
However, Victor will also face a kind of failure no matter what.
If he loses in front of the whole world, it proves he won't win forever.
If he wins, it also indicates that he miscalculated, which is also a kind of failure.
Although this sounds like self-comfort
But this is indeed one way Viktor is trying to prove that he has transcended the name of "the victor".
What he wanted was simply to prove that being the "victor" did not guarantee that the victory he desired would always be within his grasp.
Furthermore, it was to prove that his victory was earned through his own efforts and strength, and had nothing to do with the title of "victor".
On this point, the Archmage had a very high opinion of Victor.
After pondering for a moment, the Grand Master stroked his beard and chuckled softly.
His intelligent, slightly cloudy eyes fixed on Viktor, the doubt in them vanishing:
"Okay, I've finished asking my questions."
"Now it's your turn to ask a question."
"Of course, you can ask me four questions."
Throughout the entire ordeal, the Archmage only asked Viktor four questions:
First, let's talk about the situation where the Queen, the Goddess of Justice, and Erica deviate from the timeline.
Secondly, he asked Viktor if he had never lost a game from the beginning.
Then, they discussed why Viktor still pursued failure.
The last question is about whether Viktor is searching for his true "self".
The rest are all the Grand Master's own speculations.
Through these questions, the Archmage revealed things that ordinary people could not learn from Victor.
That is why he proved to Victor that his wisdom was not feigned.
At the very least, he is certainly much stronger than a certain goddess of wisdom.
Therefore, considering that he had more information, the Archmage fairly gave Victor four opportunities to ask questions.
This is a very fair exchange.
Therefore, Viktor already had an answer in mind on how to extract the maximum amount of information from these four questions.
The first question, naturally, was what he had planned to ask from the beginning:
Do you understand the meaning of a 'name'?
In fact, this question seems to be of no use now.
Because it was clear from the initial conversation with the Grand Master that the other party was very clear about the meaning behind the name of this world.
The archmage nodded.
"Everyone's name is unique, and it represents the mission they carry."
"I think you already know this better than I do."
The Archmage did not consider Victor's question to be trivial.
The other party is a smart person and will never waste any opportunity to obtain intelligence.
Perhaps every word Viktor utters contains a deeper meaning.
Perhaps Victor is trying to guess something through these questions.
After understanding this, Viktor nodded and continued to ask:
"So, what was your true purpose in establishing Valhalla?"
Upon hearing this, the Archmage seemed surprised that Victor would ask such a question.
Those cloudy and weathered eyes stirred with subtle ripples, but these fluctuations were almost imperceptible under the sedimentation of time.
But he then smiled, as if he had figured something out and was no longer surprised.
"In order to... truly destroy the gods and reshape this ravaged world."
"The members of Valhalla will all help me achieve this goal..."
As he finished speaking, the archmage's voice trembled slightly, a change that Viktor keenly noticed.
Are you lying?
The high monk smiled kindly and answered without the slightest surprise:
Why do you ask that?
"I understand now. It's because in the many timelines you've experienced, the final me didn't do that."
