One scholar in the audience was even taken aback, and after a moment of contemplation, he suddenly realized:
"That's right! The gods have never been our enemies!"
Upon hearing this, many spectators turned to look at him, their faces full of confusion.
Where did this saying come from?
Sensing the gazes of the crowd, the scholar cleared his throat and began a concise explanation:
"According to historical records, a thousand years ago,"
"It was because the gods came into this world and taught us various survival skills that humanity was finally able to develop civilization."
"That's why we have achieved what we have today."
Fire making, hunting, farming, construction, cooking, medicine, politics...
All these skills and knowledge are gifts from the gods.
These are all true events recorded in history by our ancestors.
Humans at that time maintained a deep faith in gods for a long period of time.
Until the expansion of technology, the desire for resources, and the drive of greed led humanity to wage war against each other for years.
Finally, the constant wars led the gods to believe that humanity was beyond redemption, and they left the world in despair.
These are all recorded in history, and there is no way they could be fake.
"Since there is no more war, won't the gods all return?"
"Are we going to disappoint the gods again?"
The scholar became more and more excited as he spoke, his face flushed, and his somewhat thin body trembled with excitement.
He spoke each word with great passion and fervor, his spittle flying everywhere.
His tufts of pale beard trembled violently as he spoke, his eyes burning with passion.
The scholar's impassioned words were like a key to awakening, sharply piercing the hearts of many viewers.
It suddenly awakened those who were previously confused, leaving them utterly shocked.
"Holy crap, that's right! Gods have never been the enemy of mankind!"
The reason why humans regard gods as enemies is entirely because Victor initially brought them to his side.
I understand now, I understand everything.
His words stirred up a wave of excitement in the audience.
From one to ten, from ten to a hundred.
Countless spectators spread like ripples on a calm lake, growing ever wider.
At that moment, people's views on the gods suddenly changed.
"The gods are not the enemy of mankind at all; blame that damned Victor!"
Viktor pretended to be able to control the gods, causing them to turn against humanity.
As more and more people in the audience argued, their voices grew increasingly louder and more intense, like boiling waves.
At this point, people no longer pay attention to the scholars who first put forward this view.
They no longer paid attention to Aubrey, who was initially able to instantly kill gods.
Even if Auberly is still sinking in the ocean created by the sea god, what does that have to do with them?
Meanwhile, the Duke of Riviera was sitting in the audience.
After the scholar's remarks spread throughout the entire Arena of Gods, he also heard about such views.
So he couldn't help but turn his gaze to Lia beside him and ask:
"Is this also part of Viktor's plan?"
"Uh...maybe?"
Clearly, Lia was somewhat embarrassed and even a little anxious at this moment.
Seeing that the current situation was becoming somewhat unfavorable for Viktor, she was unable to offer him any help.
Things happened too fast, and the speed at which public opinion surged was somewhat astonishing.
It's as if someone is deliberately stirring things up.
After all, no one expected that the God King who loved to play with lightning.
Surprisingly, his long-standing reputation as an honest man allowed him to quickly reverse the negative perception of the gods.
How can a deity's reputation be reversed like this?
At this moment, no one even noticed.
The scholar who had just spoken and then gracefully withdrew has already sat down with a smug look on his face.
He then casually made an "OK" gesture towards Zeus in the sky.
Zeus, the king of the gods, glanced at the scholar's signal, returned an "OK" gesture, and then subtly withdrew the gesture.
Afterwards, amidst the discussions of the humans, he looked at the gods behind Victor with the majesty and solemnity of a god-king.
His gaze was sharp, and he calmly spoke:
“If you’re still sober, then turn your weapons on the people you really should be dealing with.”
"I don't mind your past behavior, because I am fully aware of it."
"You were forced into this situation."
