But from Viktor's perspective, the Archmage had already been defeated by him countless times, and finally, through this meeting mechanism, he was waiting for him in Valhalla in advance.
Strictly speaking, the archmage had been trying to wait for the arrival of what meant the 'Time Traveler'.
After tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, millions of reincarnations, he finally met Victor.
This person, though not strictly a time traveler, is superior to one in many ways.
"That's why I say that your arrival allowed me to leave Valhalla."
"Complete the final Ragnarok."
Ragnarok originates from a mythological system different from the one in this world.
It foreshadows the end of the age of gods and the rebirth of the human world.
This is also the theme of the final chapter in the game's storyline.
Ragnarok.
However, whether Ragnarok has truly arrived remains to be verified.
After all, even though those gods have indeed fallen, the game can still continue.
In the second playthrough of the game, players can still encounter various gods.
If they enter Hell, they will encounter Hades, Nyx, Erebus, and Tartarus, the supreme gods of Hell.
Characters such as the Grim Reaper, who exists in Hell, will also appear in the second playthrough.
Because while all the gods had indeed perished in the final battle of the first playthrough, the native gods of Hell remained unaffected.
Even if all else fails, there are still the Goddess of Nature and the Primordial God remaining.
Indeed, Victor was very familiar with these two gods.
He even had a profound conflict with that primordial god.
That was Chaos, who guided him to the world ten years in the future.
In the game, Chaos is subservient to him, but in reality, Chaos attacks him with deadly force.
These deities are categorized as expansion content for the game, challenging players to their limits.
Similarly, only the Goddess of Nature and the Primordial God reached the pinnacle of level among the game's NPCs—level ninety.
Therefore, some game scholars who study game backgrounds have pointed out...
The title "Ragnarok" for the final chapter of the game's main storyline is inconsistent with the game's setting.
Leaving aside the fact that Ragnarok does not appear in the mythology of the Zeus system,
Secondly, Ragnarok foreshadows the destruction of all the gods.
So why are there still so many gods queuing up for players to challenge in the second playthrough?
This can be interpreted as the game choosing to expand the number of bosses and explore more gameplay options in the second playthrough in order to retain player interest.
This is logically reasonable.
However, this leaves a significant plot hole.
Many people believe that the final chapter of the main storyline could be renamed "The Fall of the Gods" or something similar.
However, the game's official team has yet to make any changes, and most players believe that such minor issues with the text are not a big deal.
Anyway, it's much better than sugar pills or anything like that.
Moreover, the fact that the game deliberately designed the theme of the final chapter in this way may simply be due to the development team's aesthetic considerations.
They didn't give much thought to the subsequent plot, so they just decided on it directly.
Over time, no one paid attention to this minor issue that contradicted the mythological plot.
However, when the archmage suddenly mentioned the term 'Ragnarok',
It was as if a special memory suddenly flooded into Viktor's mind, reminding him of the incident involving the 'copywriting error'.
He narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze fixed on the archmage, his expression serious.
His tone was no longer as indifferent as before, but rather more serious and composed.
"When you mention 'Ragnarok,' do you mean the destruction of those gods?"
"If that's all there is to it, I could do it all by myself."
However, the archmage pursed his lips, revealed a slight smile, and then shook his head.
"No, 'Ragnarok' never meant that."
His gaze softened again, a strong longing flickering deep within his pupils.
He longed to achieve the true goals he held in his eyes.
"The true 'Ragnarok' means the complete annihilation of all the gods in the world."
"There is no longer a creator, no longer a maker."
"There will be no more life and death oversight or the cycle of time, only the dawn of a new world."
The high priest tilted his head slightly, gazing at the vast sky outside the temple, letting the sunlight stream freely onto his somewhat fanatical face.
"Equality for all, equality for all races."
"No more faith, no more social class."
In his words, Victor seemed to see a scene from that future world.
He noticed a strange longing appearing on the Grand Master's usually calm and serene face, and so he asked his final question:
"So, one last question,"
"Your name".
The archmage in the game does not have a specific name; only the words "archmage" are displayed to the player.
Just like what Victor sees now.
[Grand Master] - lv69
He also reached the limits of human potential, but did not attain godhood.
But Victor felt that in this world where names were extremely important, the Archmage should also have his own name.
After all, the Grand Master himself once said...
"Everyone's name is unique, carrying their own unique mission."
Therefore, the name of the Grand Master should also bear his own mission.
Or perhaps it is related to his mission.
Upon hearing Viktor's question, the archmage paused slightly, then looked at Viktor again with renewed focus:
