If those five masters could truly rival the gods.
Therefore, before that, their positions as the eight masters would not be constantly challenged or frequently changed.
And characters like Gwen, Aurelion, and Erica will not display overwhelming strength in this arena of gods.
The reason why others can reach the master level is because their strength is only barely enough to reach the master level.
The reason Aurelion and others reached the Master level is because the highest level here is Master.
They are powerful enough that no one dares to challenge them.
Moreover, true masters never consider participating in the World Martial Arts Tournament.
Such as Archduke Barlow and Helnason.
After Victor announced that he would lead the gods to war against the Eight Masters...
Therefore, no one was willing to challenge the position of the Eight Masters.
Therefore, it's not that those masters who were easily defeated were simply because they were strong enough.
It's more accurate to say that they were extremely unlucky and were forced to take the master's position, unable to extricate themselves.
Ultimately, they became the "chickens" Viktor used as a warning to others, and were forced to become victims.
At this moment, Victor slowly raised his gaze, casting it towards the high sky and fixing it on the other gods who were watching the battle.
The scene they had just witnessed also filled these gods with immense terror.
Their bodies trembled, their astonished eyes flashing with solemnity and fear.
Upon seeing Ares 'dead,' they felt a chill run down their spines.
Every hair stood on end, sending a dangerous warning.
My limbs felt weak and my heart trembled.
Ares... really dead?
"His presence... has vanished."
These words were spoken by Cupid, his voice trembling.
At this moment, Cupid trembled, shaking her head slightly, unwilling to believe it.
Her vision became blurry and unfocused, and the ripples in her eyes swirled up like a vortex, drawing her thoughts in.
It seems that of all the gods of love, Ares's 'death' was the hardest for Ares to accept.
This is not surprising, as the other gods were not at all surprised by the reaction of the god of love.
After all, everyone knows that
Although Cupid nominally has a husband, her almost rampant love is characterized by falling in love with every man she meets.
Except for her husband.
And Ares, the god of war, was the one she loved most out of all the men she met and fell in love with.
Therefore, when Ares really 'died,' she was the one who found it hardest to accept it.
In contrast, Hephaestus, the god of fire, whose emotions had already appeared earlier, displayed the opposite sentiment.
At that moment, the honest blacksmith remained silent.
He simply looked at the anvil and hammer in his hand, then his gaze shifted downwards and glanced at Victor.
Noticing that Victor was also looking at him, the blacksmith silently looked away.
He remained silent, seemingly not taking Ares's 'death' seriously at all.
The other gods, one by one, lost control of their emotions.
They trembled with fear.
Because they finally realized that they were no longer high and mighty gods, but could actually be hit by attacks from humans.
They might even face real death like Ares.
The most fortunate person present was the goddess of the hunt.
She patted her chest, overwhelmed by a feeling of immense relief.
That's great. Luckily, she was one of the first to go on stage and was fortunate enough to run into a weak opponent.
She didn't know how to deal with the human who fought Ares.
However, the trembling when she raised her hand still betrayed her lingering fear.
In contrast, Apollo, the god of light, remained silent with a dark expression.
He had thought that all humans were insignificant, but suddenly such an exceptionally powerful opponent appeared.
Maybe we should just run away...
There is another god who also participated in a battle and won, so there is absolutely no need to worry about subsequent battles.
Athena, the goddess of wisdom.
She was also sensing Ares's presence, trying to confirm whether he had truly vanished.
The rule that gods should not die is deeply ingrained in the memory of every god.
But when she realized that Ares's presence had indeed disappeared, she suddenly realized,
What Viktor said back then might all have been true.
They are no longer gods.
They acquired emotions unique to humans.
The intermittent illusions have disappeared; they can now interact with humans and may experience death like humans.
Because they have become human.
Otherwise, how can we explain the God of Love's deep sorrow over Ares' death?
Upon confirming this, the goddess of wisdom trembled.
They had indeed been forced to contract the 'virus'.
Watching the human audience on the other side go from a long silence at first to excited cheers later,
Athena felt a heavy weight in her chest, a distorted sense of hostility filling her heart.
A rapid heartbeat echoed in her chest, bringing the goddess of wisdom to her senses.
These so-called 'gods' have become the target of the world's condemnation.
She had inevitably fallen into the man's carefully laid trap.
They killed humans in battles against them.
Now, they have completely become the villains who are rebelled against by humanity.
Realizing this, Athena was forced to accept everything and stood quietly beside Victor.
"Who exactly is that... powerful human?"
Hearing Athena's question, Victor calmly looked ahead and explained:
"That was the strongest human warrior in the world, the former emperor of the Karencia Empire."
"He is a formidable enemy that you cannot defeat at present."
Upon hearing this, Athena raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Aubrey Saul".
He had barely finished speaking when
Above the sky, after the gods.
The sea god who rode the waves has opened his eyes once more.
And slowly, stepping on the waves, they headed towards the arena.
