Loki was not surprised at all.
Ever since Loki learned that Victor was a reincarnator, he had foreseen that Ragnarok's success was inevitable.
After all, if Ragnarok hadn't succeeded and the world hadn't restarted,
How could Victor have returned to this time?
However, Loki did not receive the silence he expected.
Instead, he heard a reply that he considered impossible:
"No, Ragnarok failed."
"I stopped it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the one who had been silent became Loki.
Loki looked at Victor, watching him calmly utter words that should have shocked him, without any emotional fluctuation.
He didn't seem surprised at all.
"If we are the 'victors,' then the 'defeat' of Ragnarok doesn't seem entirely unacceptable."
"So, even though it has already succeeded, according to my plan, there should not be any more reincarnation in the future."
"Or is it that even if Ragnarok fails, this world will still be trapped in the cycle of reincarnation?"
In the archmage's mind, there could only be one reason why Victor would appear here.
That is the world restarting, beginning a new cycle.
Viktor is the only person in the world who can retain his memories even in the cycle of reincarnation.
Surprisingly, Victor gave him another unexpected answer.
"After Ragnarok failed, the cycle of reincarnation ended."
Ragnarok is the fundamental reason why this world keeps restarting.
If Ragnarok is prevented, the world will naturally not restart.
After a long silence, the Grand Master's lips moved slightly, and he uttered a sound:
"...Is that so?"
His aged tone carried a newfound expectation for the world.
But soon, he regained his composure and closed his eyes.
"But you still came back, back to this moment before the cycle of reincarnation was broken."
Admittedly, the Archmage did not know the specific reasons for Victor's return.
Even though the cycle of reincarnation has been broken, why does he still want to return here?
But perhaps, just as he was pursuing that faint glimmer of possibility of failure within the absolute success of Ragnarok,
Viktor's return here must also be for a more perfect ending.
"Then, with you here, Ragnarok will surely be broken."
"And why did you contact me beforehand?"
He had already experienced Ragnarok once.
Just follow the experience from last time and plan everything in advance.
Victor could then break the cycle again, and even end it all with the perfect ending he desires.
He firmly believed that a reincarnator who successfully broke the cycle of Ragnarok...
If you succeed the first time, you can succeed the second and third time in a row.
However, Viktor suddenly sought him out before he had fully developed his strength.
Loki didn't quite understand.
"You should understand that even if you could kill me here, Ragnarok will still proceed as planned."
Endymion, the city of sorcerers, is the true means by which Ragnarok will surely succeed.
Loki believed that Victor, who had experienced Ragnarok, couldn't possibly be unaware of this.
Therefore, Viktor's early arrival must have had other reasons.
"I admit that with my current strength, I am indeed unable to kill you."
Viktor spoke calmly and frankly, making no attempt to hide his lack of strength.
But he was not at all afraid that Loki would turn around and threaten him because of this.
Viktor knew very well why he couldn't kill the archmage.
The value is insufficient.
He was indeed only a fifth-tier mage, and he also knew how to become a sixth-tier mage.
Even so, it would be impossible for him to kill a great mage with a thousand years of experience at this stage.
However, he was also absolutely confident.
The archmage could not kill him.
Putting aside the other party's purpose, it was never to kill anyone.
Most importantly, the Archmage was a smart man.
They both knew that neither side could do anything to the other.
That's why they can exchange information here calmly.
For example, the Archmage learns from Victor that Ragnarok can fail.
He has completely calmed down now.
He didn't care at all when or how Ragnarok would fail.
Knowing that it could fail was enough for him.
"So you contacted me beforehand because there must be something you want to know."
"Speak, although I am not omniscient or omnipotent, perhaps I can give you an answer that will satisfy you."
Viktor appeared calm, arms crossed, leaning back in his chair.
He didn't stand on ceremony, because he had come specifically to ask questions.
"Who exactly is the Goddess of Justice? Why would she willingly cooperate with you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the watermelon strip straightened up.
Its eyes became empty and lifeless, with a series of rapidly changing images flashing in its depths, like a movie playing at lightning speed.
"I thought you would ask more valuable questions, but your first concern is actually your wife."
A sarcastic remark escaped from the watermelon strip's mouth, each word revealing deep disdain.
Nevertheless, he revealed the facts that Victor wanted to know.
"The Goddess of Justice is one of the deities who descended into this world at the same time as them."
Victor knew perfectly well that the "them" Loki referred to were Zeus and other gods.
This shows that the goddess of justice was never anything special; she was a god who appeared in the same era as Zeus.
