Different colors intertwined, wind raged.
The entire arena seemed to be shrouded in an inescapable madness.
The corrupted lightning struck right next to Athena, causing a violent tremor.
Athena knew that the lightning bolt would not strike her.
Therefore, she stood quietly, without dodging, simply observing the complex lightning rapidly spreading downwards.
However, these indiscriminate attacks eventually resulted in the first victim.
That is the God of Light.
In fact, the battle between Artemis and Apollo had already ended.
The outcome, naturally, was a crushing victory for Artemis.
Artemis and Apollo were actually in the same location before the lightning struck.
Artemis stood on the ground, while Apollo fell to the ground, pierced by a luminous arrow.
Although Artemis defeated Apollo, she did not intend to end his life.
He just wanted to teach this deadbeat a lesson.
Tell him whose archery skills are superior, while expressing your dislike for his traits.
Artemis ultimately decided to let Apollo fend for himself on Earth.
Just then, a bolt of divine lightning, striking down from the clouds, hurtled towards their location.
Artemis keenly sensed the danger and instinctively retreated quickly, skillfully dodging the attack.
But it is quite obvious.
She turned it on, and Apollo was the one who suffered.
The terrifying bolt of lightning struck Apollo directly, piercing through his chest.
"ah!!!"
His eyes widened. He was already severely injured, and under Zeus's indiscriminate attack, his muscles stiffened even more.
Artemis witnessed the lightning strike and saw Apollo's body surface as if it were cracked rock.
Covered by countless dense electric arcs, the cracks are terrifying.
The next second,
boom!
Thunder roared across the earth, its deafening sound waves filling her ears.
Immediately afterwards, Apollo's body exploded into countless fragments in the light of thunder.
Blown away by the surging storm, it was reduced to barely perceptible dust.
At that moment, all the spectators in the arena, including Poseidon and Athena, witnessed this scene.
Athena felt a pang of sorrow.
But in the silence, she suddenly frowned, sensing something unusual.
Apollo's life force has vanished without a trace.
But the powder from his body seemed to be miraculously re-aggregating.
In this chaotic and colorful environment.
If it weren't for Athena's attention, this strange change would have been almost unnoticed.
However, the perceptive Athena still saw this scene.
The fragments of Apollo seemed to transform into a wisp of ethereal energy, rising gently into the air.
Drifting with the wind, passing through the clouds, flying into the distance.
Athena focused her gaze, her eyes gleaming with golden light as power surged within them.
She watched silently as the wisp of energy flew in the direction it was heading.
Watching it fly out of the arena and drift towards the distant sacred tree of Shulburn.
This time, it's different from Ares's death.
Athena witnessed the entire process of Apollo's death.
The moment this wisp of energy touched the divine tree, it transformed into a golden apple, its surface inlaid with symbols of light.
At the same time, this golden apple is emanating the aura of Apollo.
Athena watched as Apollo, after his death, transformed into a golden apple, which hung on the branch of the Tree of God.
There was another golden apple nearby, exuding the aura of Ares.
Upon seeing this, Athena froze, standing there like a statue.
Her eyes widened in terror, and she leaned back slightly, nearly tripping.
how so?
Athena never knew how they were summoned.
Moreover, they were clearly gods, so why did they lose their divinity and become human?
Initially, they all believed that they had been infected by a 'virus' from some evil god, which caused them to lose their divinity and become human.
And Zeus's behavior proved this to her perfectly.
Once infected by the virus, one will lose their divinity, just like now.
However, Zeus's virus seems a bit exaggerated.
But after Apollo was 'killed' by Zeus, she suddenly realized something.
In fact, neither Ares nor Apollo died.
They have been gods since the beginning, possessing immortality, a fact that has never changed.
However, their divinity, or rather their souls, were forcibly sealed within the golden apple.
These golden apples then became their new bodies.
Once they encounter 'death', they will transform into a golden apple once more.
With their original divinity, they were resuspended on the sacred tree.
And it was permanently sealed inside.
These golden apples are the carriers of the 'virus'.
Realizing this, Athena's eyes widened in shock as she looked at Zeus, who hung high in the sky.
Zeus was the only god not sealed within the Apple of God; he retained his divine body.
Why did he get infected with the virus and become like this?
Did Zeus ever come into contact with the golden apple?
As she pondered, Athena suddenly realized a possibility. She quickly turned her head and fixed her gaze on the distance.
She looked at Hera, who had just rejected Zeus and was crowned the 'most beautiful goddess in the world'.
Athena suddenly thought of something.
Only the most beautiful goddess in the world can be recognized by the golden apple.
At this moment,
Hera, the golden apple, Zeus
And, the virus.
How did Zeus end up touching the golden apple?
The only possibility is that it's related to Hera.
The most beautiful goddess ultimately became the most toxic virus.
Athena, realizing this, became mentally confused.
She turned her head and looked behind her.
She looked at Victor.
Even amidst this chaotic and frantic situation, he remained calm and composed, standing quietly with his hands in his pockets.
He gazed at the sky, a smile playing on his lips.
It was as if everything before him was under his control, without any deviation, and everything was proceeding according to his plan.
Yes, Victor had already made his move.
All the gods became puppets under his control.
Every action he took was part of a meticulously crafted script.
And him.
He is the 'director' behind the scenes of this whole affair.
