That's right.
Victor is a player, and as a player, he knows all the developments in the story.
At the end of the game's main storyline, it was Aurelion who sacrificed herself to destroy all the remaining gods.
With the disappearance of the gods, the main storyline officially concludes, opening up a second playthrough for players.
The Archmage and his Valhalla only appear in the second playthrough.
Therefore, there is no storyline where the Archmage leads Valhalla to fight against the gods.
The period when the great sorcerer truly drove away the gods was only a thousand years ago.
If he had truly led the heroes of Valhalla into battle back then, Aurelion probably wouldn't have ultimately perished alongside the gods.
Of course, she will still die young.
After all, the short-lived curse of the Thor family is unavoidable.
Upon hearing Viktor say that the Archmage was lying, Vega on his shoulder immediately became dissatisfied:
"My Viktor always answers your questions without hesitation. What do you mean by this, Old Deng?"
"If you dare to lie again, I'll blow up your Hall of Heroes."
This time, Victor didn't stop Vega because there was no need.
After all, there always has to be someone who plays the righteous role.
The Grand Master naturally knew the true identity of this raven "evil god".
Since the secret of the Raven God was revealed at the Mage Association, Vega no longer needed to pretend here.
Faced with Vega's criticism, the Grand Master showed no displeasure, but simply smiled, stroked his beard, and said softly.
"Don't say that, I'm really telling the truth."
Observing the archmage's honest expression, which did not seem like he was lying, Victor began to feel a little confused.
Seeing that the archmage did not seem to be lying, Viktor was in a bit of a dilemma.
What's the meaning.
Did the Archmage initially establish Valhalla with the intention of destroying the gods, and later change his mind for some reason?
Seeing Victor's confusion, Vega immediately spoke to the Archmage:
"So you mean Viktor was wrong? Huh?"
"Of course... okay."
The Grand Master sighed slightly, seemingly not expecting the crow to be so stubborn.
"I was going to ask you to ask another question, but never mind, consider the answer to this question as an extra bonus for you."
Vega's eyes widened, and he said with great dissatisfaction:
"You should have just explained it clearly, old man."
Seeing that the Archmage seemed to be compromising, Victor glanced at Vega, who had a dissatisfied expression.
It seems that Vega managed to secure an extra opportunity for him to ask a question this time?
Viktor couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing, but at the same time, he was also puzzled.
It seemed the Grand Master wasn't willing to give him much room to ask questions, as if he was intentionally hiding something.
What is he trying to hide?
It's comfortable to talk to smart people because they understand you in just a few words.
But talking to someone who is overly intelligent can be a bit tricky for Viktor.
Take the archmage before us, for example.
Although his words often greatly benefited Viktor, every sentence seemed to conceal a deeper meaning.
It might inadvertently make Viktor wonder if there was any deeper meaning behind that statement.
After a short while, the Grand Master adjusted his expression and spoke again:
"Why didn't the 'me' in those timelines lead Valhalla to take action... Hmm, I think it's probably because the time wasn't right yet."
As he spoke, a hazy light, shrouded in wisdom, shone in his eyes.
Like a silent seabed, it holds boundless secrets.
Viktor frowned, somewhat puzzled.
What does "the time is not yet ripe" mean?
Why does this lead to the situation being 'not yet the right time'?
Why did the Grand Master ultimately abandon his plan to resist the gods?
Instead, they chose to make this Hall of Heroes a challenge area for players to conquer in the second playthrough?
What kind of logic is this?
Seeing the archmage's hesitant expression, Victor realized that the other party seemed to have been planning to do this for a long time.
"Hey Old Deng, didn't you say you don't tell riddles? What do you mean by 'the time isn't right'? You should tell us then!"
"Do you expect us to ask the questions first?"
Vega started cursing, his tone laced with sarcasm.
Victor couldn't help but glance at it with admiration, secretly grateful.
Vega, thank you.
She's practically his best mouth double.
Since asking questions consumes attempts, the questions Vega asked shouldn't be considered a transaction between them.
The Grand Master watched the interaction between the human and the crow with a sense of helplessness, but he still maintained the composure of an elder and smiled kindly.
“I didn’t say that this would be considered a problem.”
The archmage leaned on his cane, his deep gaze fixed on Victor:
"Now, the time has come for me to speak."
He slowly raised his cane, pointed it at Viktor, and, to Viktor's rather surprised expression, said:
"Because you came."
