When the helmet appeared in Victor's hand, Zeus's eyes widened slightly, and his vision seemed somewhat dazed.
Hades' invisibility helmet.
This reminded Zeus of the time shortly after he descended upon Shulbong.
He had sensed Hades' presence in the many temporary cities established by merchants.
Just then, the flames of hell suddenly erupted in the city of Shulbon.
And it spread rapidly through the city at an extremely terrifying speed, almost burning down the newly established city of Shulburn.
Clearly, this hellfire is closely related to Hades.
Then, in the Arena of the Gods,
Zeus created statues of the other gods himself in order to gather their faith.
These statues stand in the center of the arena, offering countless challengers a choice of faith.
Everything went perfectly.
Until a statue of Hades unexpectedly appeared among the other statues, disrupting his order.
At that time, Zeus noticed something was wrong.
However, it was all too late.
He met Hera, but Hera chose Hades' statue in pursuit of power.
He then summoned his brother, Hades, who had always lived underground, to this world.
It was on that occasion that Hades made a pact with him—
Fight for ownership of Hera.
Initially, Zeus accepted the challenge in order to maintain the faith of human audiences, agreeing to fight Hades and vie for Hera.
But in the end, Victor appeared.
Especially when he announced that he had taken control of all the gods and declared war on the whole world,
He had even forgotten about it.
After Victor's announcement, humanity began to hate the gods, and even Zeus, who was not under Victor's control, became a target of human hatred.
Not only did no new faiths emerge, but even the existing faiths were largely lost.
This event was clearly far more important than his battle with Hades for Hera.
From the beginning, he didn't take Hades's abduction of Hera seriously.
That was just to stabilize public morale.
Hades had once taken Persephone from him in front of the twelve Olympian gods.
Are they planning to steal Hera from him now?
So when Victor mentioned that he and Hades had another battle, Zeus immediately remembered it.
Most importantly, notice the stealth helmet gleaming coldly in Viktor's hand.
He recalled the mysterious figure who exuded the aura of Hades.
They used to roam the streets of Shulburn with impunity, eventually blasting the entire street to pieces.
Although Zeus no longer cared about that matter,
But when Victor suddenly brought it up and took out the helmet that bore the aura of Hades, Zeus immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
"So...it was you?"
Zeus was slightly taken aback.
After learning the truth, his voice even paused for a half-beat.
There's only one explanation for the sheer intensity of Hades' aura emanating from the human world.
That only possibility was now finally exposed to him.
Why did Hades' presence suddenly appear on the streets back then?
Why did a statue of Hades suddenly appear and challenge him to a battle?
Most importantly, why were Hades' restrictions lifted?
Hades' seal was established by the twelve Olympian gods in order to calm his volatile brother down.
Therefore, a special seal was placed on him that could only be completely lifted if he were killed by humans ten times.
At first, Zeus thought that it was Erica, the messenger of nature, who had killed Hades ten times.
After all, they had all witnessed Erica's challenges since the Hell Trial began.
However, in the arena, the power displayed by that nature messenger did not seem sufficient to kill Hades.
This piqued Zeus's curiosity, though he didn't press the matter further, perhaps because the other party simply wasn't giving it their all in the arena.
Only now does Zeus seem to truly understand.
Viktor was the one who truly defeated Hades.
First of all, he has the ability.
Secondly, he had that motive.
Like Poseidon, Zeus was also aware of Viktor's ultimate goal.
His goal was to completely destroy all the gods; otherwise, he wouldn't have made them kill each other.
"I see."
"You orchestrated all of this."
Zeus frowned, his expression solemn, and his deep voice no longer held any doubt.
Why does it seem like he's been constantly targeted ever since he appeared?
Now, he finally got a clear answer.
Because before the gods descended, from the moment he knew that gods existed.
They have already been drawn into this terrible human conspiracy.
Zeus had an idea.
Initially, at the gates of Hell, they witnessed Victor's fierce battle with Cerberus.
They laughed, they bet on each other.
They never considered that human who seemed to have strayed into the gates of hell as a threat.
But,
It seems that it started from that time.
The other side has already planned everything.
They had long regarded these once high and mighty gods as prey that could be easily obtained.
"Do you realize it?"
Viktor chuckled softly, a laugh as fleeting as a gentle breeze, almost imperceptible.
Under the questioning gazes of countless viewers, he calmly began to speak:
"Unfortunately, it's too late."
Just as the audience was wondering about the content of their conversation and the purpose of the helmet in Victor's hand,
