"Initiate your Ragnarok, Loki."
The deepest part of the Mage Council.
Valhalla.
There are no heroic spirits here, only the archmage.
He leaned on an ordinary tree branch cane, looking like an old man with white hair and a long, flowing beard.
Because he is a god, he has an infinite lifespan.
Even if everyone else is dead, he will live on until the very end.
"My original intention was to wait until your lifespan ended before initiating Ragnarok."
"Because I thought you would be so engrossed in this perfect story that you would have forgotten about Ragnarok."
The Archmage did not know how Victor managed to retain his memories through repeated reincarnations.
But he understood Viktor's purpose.
"After all, you came back to make up for your regrets, didn't you?"
Whether it was initially saving Gwen and the princess's mother, or ultimately storming into Celestial Realm ahead of schedule,
These were all his preemptive measures, actions taken to make up for any regrets.
only,
The archmage stared at Viktor, his gaze fixed on the other's calm, expressionless face.
Finally, he sighed heavily, looking helpless and disappointed.
"Clearly, your outcome was not ideal."
"Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to me on your own initiative and offered to start Ragnarok."
"However, don't forget who I am."
As soon as he finished speaking,
The archmage was surrounded by swirling demonic light, the array patterns vast and complex, rising and spiraling from within the Hall of Heroes.
It stood up like a giant corona tower.
At the same time, countless runes floated high in the sky, like a blizzard of falling snowflakes, magnificent and terrifying.
Almost the entire Mage Council was enveloped by the immense magical power released by the Archmage, surrounded by a layer of hazy light.
He did not use his own Loki appearance, but instead continued to maintain the archmage's aged appearance.
The magic was as fierce as a whirlwind, swirling all around.
"Ragnarok is inevitable; I don't need you to remind me."
"You came here simply to prove something else."
"If you want to defeat me, prove to me that you are the strongest mage in the world in the true sense."
He floated high in the sky, and his cloudy eyes suddenly shone with a dazzling light.
Even his body was covered with glowing runes, his figure appearing and disappearing, his magic shining brightly.
"Then let's give it a try, winner."
"Let's see if you have enough power to defeat me, to defeat Ragnarok."
"Prove it to me..."
Before the words were finished,
In an instant,
Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz—
Beside Victor, countless intricate magic circles also flickered.
The magical arrays merged together, constructing a massive aerial castle woven from runes and patterns.
Even more numerous and terrifying than the magic arrays of a Grand Mage.
The light was so bright it blotted out the sun; the azure was dazzling.
Every brick in the castle is a magic circle constructed by Victor, and every lighthouse is made of magic.
Almost simultaneously, everyone in the world noticed a certain direction in the sky.
Through the clouds, a faintly visible, azure, and mysterious magical city was revealed.
Even the magic array surrounding the archmage was completely reversed and rendered useless in the face of this overwhelming power.
One by one, they formed magical links with Victor.
The magical light pierced through the Temple of Heroes, covering the entire churning sea of clouds.
Victor stood with his hands in his pockets, displaying a rare calm.
But his power had completely overwhelmed the archmage.
The archmage gazed at the magnificent city, the magical light in his eyes gradually fading, his pupils trembling slightly.
He could sense various different powers emanating from Viktor.
It's as if they've mastered every ability in the world to the extreme.
Naturally, this includes magic.
He truly possesses the strength to overcome himself and to defeat Ragnarok.
Without him even having to lift a finger, the other party had already proven that to him.
But what Victor wanted was never to prove that he could defeat Ragnarok.
Rather, it was the sentence he said at the beginning.
"Let Ragnarok begin, Loki."
"Let 'Victor' try again."
