This is truly amazing.
At this moment, they seemed to be witnessing an unprecedented, epic human war.
The outcome of the battle will determine who is the most powerful human in the world.
After the intense clash between Aubrey and Victor, the audience no longer firmly believed that the gods were necessarily stronger than humans.
These two warriors are both human; is their contest any less intense than that of the gods?
Do you remember how that war god was defeated by that golden-armored man with a single punch?
From a distance, Hades, who had been watching everything unfold, wore a solemn expression, which further strengthened the audience's resolve.
As the only surviving god-king, Hades' power was widely recognized.
The audience clearly remembers the scene where he once suppressed Zeus.
And now, even Hades is showing such an expression.
This is enough to show—
This battle even terrified the gods.
At this moment, many elderly people in the crowd stared in shock.
Especially those from the empire.
Upon witnessing the battle between Aubrey and Victor.
Their eyes widened in disbelief at Aubrey's terrifying, lion-like attack, which was unleashed with all its might.
That familiar attack, that formidable power, and that familiar golden lion armor...
If this isn't Aubrey, I'll wash my hair upside down!
But how could this be possible?!
How did the late Emperor Aubrey come back to life? And how did he manage to look so young?
At this moment, those who had guessed Aubrey's identity remained silent, not daring to speak rashly.
After all, the current empress of the empire sits right above them.
If Aubrey really did come back to life, what should they call him?
The late emperor? Or His Majesty?
Calling him the late emperor would seem a bit disrespectful.
If we call him Your Majesty, wouldn't that imply that the empire has two emperors?
Caught in a dilemma, no one dared to be the first to step forward.
Most importantly, what if they guess wrong?
Although that person looks very much like Aubrey, what if it's just a resemblance?
Therefore, without conclusive evidence, no one dared to hastily confirm that the man in the golden helmet was Oberly.
Of course, it wasn't just Aubrey who shocked them, but also Victor.
They watched as Victor skillfully deflected Aubrey's attacks time and time again using a variety of complex techniques.
They could even take advantage of the gaps in Aubrey's attacks to quickly strike and inflict one or two minor injuries on the opponent.
As time went by, no trace of injury could be seen on Viktor's body.
On the contrary, Aubrey's golden armor was covered with cracks of varying sizes.
This... if this really is their world's strongest emperor, Aubrey,
So how do we explain Viktor's performance?
Did someone use a substitute? The person inside the armor isn't Viktor at all.
Isn't that pure nonsense?
However, if the person who was evenly matched with Aubrey, or even gradually gained the upper hand, really was Victor,
Who would believe that?!
Victor is a mage, a mage!
His mastery of all eighteen weapons in close combat is already astonishing.
And yet, his opponent was still Aubrey!?
Therefore, they simply refused to believe that it was really Oberly.
On the one hand, they were unwilling to accept the fact that Aubrey had been resurrected.
On the other hand, if that really is Aubrey, wouldn't that mean that Victor and Aubrey are evenly matched in combat?
Is he a human?
Viktor is the real monster, isn't he?
Who among you is truly the world's strongest warrior?
However, the more unbelievable the fact, the more powerful the revelation of the truth.
Soon after, Aubrey swung his heavy blade and slashed down.
With his keen reflexes, Victor reached out his arm the instant his opponent paused.
The weapon, which had transformed into a spear at some unknown time, swiftly pierced the gap in Aubrey's helmet around his neck.
With a slight flick of his wrist, Aubrey's golden helmet flew off.
Clang—
With a crisp sound, the helmet decorated with lion reliefs fell to the ground.
The vast expanse of soil seemed to fall silent instantly, and the chaos came to an abrupt halt.
At this point, both of their attacks ceased.
Countless viewers widened their eyes instantly and fell silent.
Because they all saw it: beneath the fallen golden helmet, Aubrey's head was revealed.
Seeing his face, which had aged considerably over time.
Gone is the youthful vibrancy of yesteryear; instead, there is a familiar sense of weariness.
At this moment, countless people around the world couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"Emperor Aubrey Thor!?"
"His Majesty!!!"
"Father!"
Unlike others, most people recognized Aubrey at a glance and were shocked by his slightly aged appearance.
Aurelion's exclamation was due to seeing Aubrey's sudden aging.
Her tense heartstrings were suddenly plucked, and deep worry appeared in her eyes.
Why has my father aged so much all of a sudden?
However, she will probably never get the answer to this question.
However, the sound of Aurelian's voice meant that Auberly's identity had been confirmed.
Countless people were shocked to witness this once legendary emperor reappear in the public eye in such a manner.
They were talking amongst themselves high in the air, their shocked whispers echoing in everyone's ears.
However, the usually calm Aubrey couldn't help but frown when he heard these sounds.
"Don't call me Emperor, and don't call me Your Majesty anymore."
His voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to cut through the howling wind and the cracking of space, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
They could sense Aubrey's seriousness and his incredibly somber, sublime dignity.
"Remember, I am a soldier."
Upon hearing this, all the previous whispers and discussions vanished, leaving only a long silence in the vast, boundless space.
Aubrey took a deep breath.
The golden armor, covered in marks and grooves, had lost all its luster and color.
The armor peeled away piece by piece, as if rusted, revealing Aubrey's muscular, shimmering muscles.
At the same time, the space behind him trembled slightly.
The crimson hue was hazy, but the outline gradually became clear.
A lion with a blood-red mane suddenly appeared behind Aubrey.
Its entire body was scarlet, and its limbs were strong and powerful, as tough as steel.
The lion trotted lightly, coiled around Aubrey, bared its ferocious and sharp teeth, and exuded boundless terror.
At this moment, Aubrey's eyes were bloodshot, and he exhaled a puff of white steam.
His muscles were bulging, his body was slightly swollen, and blood was flowing wildly under his skin.
Gone was the imperial majesty of before; only the surging power of a warrior remained.
"I've had enough of all this red tape."
