Inside the arena, a gentle breeze rippled through the air.
The churning winds pierced through the cracks in space, crossed the boundaries of nothingness, and carried fragments of space, like shattered glass, as they spiraled into the air.
The fragments, still carrying lingering dust, swirled and danced wildly into the sky.
Countless spectators stood frozen in place, their eyes wide open.
Their gazes pierced through the distorted air currents, fixed intently on everything on the arena.
Especially that young man who defeated a god with just one punch.
What just happened on the stage left everyone in disbelief.
In their eyes, such a thing could never happen to a human being.
One punch,
Just one punch.
That god, who was clearly far superior to humans, was reduced to ashes and dust by the young man's punch.
When Aubrey sent the God of War flying with a single punch, countless spectators in the arena stands initially thought...
The battle may be evenly matched, and they still hold out hope of victory.
In their minds, the battle should be a long and fierce fight between the youth and the god, resulting in both sides suffering heavy losses.
Until the very last moment, the young man awakened his inner strength through the deep bonds he shared with countless family and friends.
These bonds transformed into his fighting power, temporarily increasing his strength and allowing him to break through his limits.
In the end, they barely managed to win.
The young man, exhausted both physically and mentally, lost his fighting ability and won the match as a heroic figure.
However, Victor wanted to say...
There is no story in this world where one can defeat a powerful enemy simply by relying on bonds and courage.
There's only one possibility that he could be killed in one punch.
The difference in strength is simply too great.
It would be foolish for anyone who understands Aubrey to believe that these ordinary gods could fight him.
Victor's expression remained calm; to him, it was perfectly normal for Aubrey to kill a war god with a single blow.
As mentioned many times before, the gods are nothing more than high-level elite monsters who have luckily obtained the immortality buff.
The only difference between gods and humans is that they have infinite lifespans and do not die.
The "intermittent illusion" isolates mortals from the interaction between gods and humans.
This has made it impossible for gods and humans to have contact since ancient times.
This is why, in human consciousness, deities are always shrouded in mystery.
Humans cannot directly touch the gods, but the gods possess powerful divine abilities that allow them to control all things in the world.
For example, the God-King can summon thunder, and the Sea God can unleash massive tsunamis at will.
These all clearly demonstrate the immense power of the gods.
Thus, from ancient times, humankind began to worship gods who possessed supernatural powers.
But once the "intermittent illusion" of God is removed, and the gods are reduced to mortals,
They are just ordinary people with superhuman strength.
Take Ares as an example,
When he first descended to the mortal realm, his opponent couldn't even withstand one of Victor's war spells; he was struck and embedded in the wall.
How could he possibly withstand the full force of the world's strongest warrior?
What exactly is the concept of the world's strongest warrior?
To conquer the world single-handedly
Even after his death, no one dared to claim the title of the world's strongest.
Of course, gods do possess immeasurable power compared to ordinary people.
If those fifth-tier masters were to encounter Ares, they would undoubtedly be instantly killed.
Even a sixth-tier powerhouse could only barely contend with Ares.
But the gods are bosses after all, and they have two phases.
Ares actually in a second phase, but the opponents he faced were far stronger than him.
He was instantly killed with a single punch, as his health was insufficient to support him in activating the second phase.
This is also another weakness of the gods:
Fragile.
Because their bodies are no longer those of gods, this is the price that gods pay when they descend to earth.
At that moment, apart from Viktor, no one else on the scene noticed.
Ares, who had been punched into dust by Aubrey, had already drifted away from the arena with the surging breeze.
It drifted away from the arena and headed towards the city.
Finally, it drifted to the top of the sacred tree in Shulburn, where it reassembled on a branch and transformed into a golden apple.
However, this time, compared to before, the golden apple looked very strange.
The once smooth golden surface was now covered with bumps and depressions, and a faint, blood-red aura slowly swirled around the golden apple.
On its peel, the symbol of Ares' long spear gradually emerges from the gold.
Yes, this is the true body of a god.
The so-called bodies that grant these gods freedom of movement in the mortal realm are nothing more than replacing their original bodies with golden apples.
If it weren't for their own formidable combat strength, their defensive capabilities would only be equivalent to an "apple".
While not just anyone could easily crush these "apples," unfortunately, Ares's opponent was Aubrey.
For him, crushing these "apples" was a piece of cake.
I'll say it again.
Even Victor didn't dare to take Aubrey's full-force attack head-on, so why would those gods dare to?
Instead of praising the power of these gods, we should consider how weak the masters mentioned earlier actually were.
They are, on average, just a group of level 50 NPCs.
The "World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament" is just a gimmick; most of the participants are actually not strong enough.
