But don't worry, if reincarnation restarts, ten thousand years from now, another person named Victor will appear in this world, and you will still be able to become that person, losing your previous memories.
Even if you return to me again, you won't remember the ten thousand years we spent together, nor will you remember anything that happened.
So for you, this is yet another novel experience.
Viktor remained silent for a moment, then silently turned his gaze to Chaos.
The other person's eyes, which had been almost dead for ten thousand years, now seemed to have finally regained some vitality.
The darkness within their deep silhouettes also seemed to come alive.
And this new life force is called "expectation".
At the same time, new messages appeared in the chat box in front of Viktor.
But I do hope that you retain your memories and continue to fight against this world.
Because I hope to see a different ending at the end of each cycle, just like this one.
Although your life is but a drop in the ocean compared to the long years I've lived, but...
At this moment, Chaos finally opened his mouth.
A chaotic and distant sound, as if carrying the depth of space and time.
Accompanied by a mixed male and female voice or a wild, hoarse tone, it emanated from the outline of his mouth, which was torn open.
"In the short ten years since I met you, the changes in this world have been a novel experience for me."
"I felt immense pleasure, something I hadn't experienced in a long time."
Perhaps this is the key factor that caused Chaos to change.
When Viktor first met him, he was like a true god, mysterious and solemn.
During this meeting, he appeared more easygoing than before, and his mood had clearly improved.
Chaos teleported Viktor to a world ten years in the future.
In this era, although Victor does not exist in the world, he influences everything.
The past decade has not seen the same steady development as before, but has undergone many changes.
Chaos saw all of this.
He experienced the feeling.
"To be honest, after you've said so much, I feel sorry for you and don't really want to hit you anymore."
Viktor wasn't surprised by Chaos's words; he simply shrugged.
Indeed, in a sense, Chaos is the most tragic being in the world.
Because he realized that his existence might have been deliberately created, he was no longer subject to the cycle of reincarnation and instead transcended it.
Yet he gained no benefit from the cycle of reincarnation, merely observing a world that had been repeating itself for tens of thousands of years.
It was as if he was imprisoned in a cage from which he could not escape.
Until now, hundreds of millions of years have passed since he realized he was imprisoned.
And this number will continue to grow, with no end in sight.
Of course, Chaos still needs to be dealt with; that guy has really gone too far.
Just to have some fun over the past ten years, they kicked him into the world ten years in the future?
How should we calculate the ten years he lost?
Therefore, it is said that there is always something hateful about a pitiful person.
Of course, Victor didn't plan to start hitting him right now.
after all,
"Aren't you being too pessimistic?"
Viktor stared blankly at the world on the screen, seemingly undisappointed that his backup plan might have been thwarted.
On the contrary, there was even a hint of... confidence in his tone?
"If I lose so easily, wouldn't all my planning as the 'winner' have been for nothing?"
"Don't forget, the outcome is not yet decided."
【Um? 】
Chaos was somewhat surprised when the chat box reappeared in Viktor's view.
[You mean, you deliberately let Loki burn the tree? That only by burning down the Tree of Life could your true power be revealed?]
"...Who taught you this way of speaking?"
Viktor glanced at Chaos, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, finding the other's idea absurd.
"If I have to do this to win, then if Loki doesn't burn the trees, won't I be unable to win?"
But you can't guarantee he won't burn the trees, can you?
Viktor snorted coldly and said indifferently:
"That's the problem."
Why should I gamble my victory on the actions of others?
“Listen carefully, each of you only knows that the victor will always win, but none of you know why I will definitely win.”
At this point, Victor, looking at Loki's confident smile on the screen, continued:
"What is victory? It is when you ensure that you have a 100% chance of winning before you even take action."
"Remember, I never fight a battle unprepared, therefore..."
At that moment, Loki on the screen seemed to echo Viktor's words; his confident smile suddenly froze.
It turned into bewilderment, until the astonishment became increasingly apparent.
Seeing Loki's transformation, Victor revealed an even more impressive smile.
"Even with a 99% win rate, I wouldn't be absolutely certain of success."
“That’s who I am, the ‘victor’,”
"The true meaning."
