The quicksand-like source of disaster in Victor's hand is slowly surging, as if it has its own consciousness, slowly spreading out in mid-air.
Just when the sand was about to wrap around Victor's body, Hermes' words from behind suddenly interrupted his movements.
"Are you...Habika?"
Victor frowned and turned back to look at Hermes:
"Who are you talking to?"
Victor was puzzled because Vega on his shoulder was falling into a deep sleep.
The dark crow has long been covered with a burst of pale color, and every feather has lost its original color.
Now Vega looks no different from an ordinary bird, even a bit like a pigeon.
However, when Vega was not exposed in any way, Hermes directly said Vega's god's name.
Habika, Vega’s divine name.
To be honest, although Victor is used to careful planning and knowing every detail.
Even for things he has never directly touched in the game, as long as there are clues, he can deduce the truth behind them.
Only about Habika's identity, he still knew nothing.
He knew that Habika was the evil god because the god had appeared in the game's backstory.
"Erase half the world's population."
This is one of the few comments Habika has made.
After that, the god didn't even appear in the game again.
When Hermes pronounced Vega's divine name, Victor felt curious for the first time.
While thinking, Victor moved his fingers slightly, and magic power flowed through his fingertips.
A chain wound in the air, passing through everyone around him, completely trapping him and Hermes.
【Silent Lock Ring】
This magic is enough to ensure that their conversation cannot be heard by the outside world, and only Victor and Hermes can hear each other's voices.
To the outside world, the two seemed to be staring at each other, motionless.
From time to time, phantoms interact between the two to confuse outsiders.
Sure enough, after Victor cast this magic, both of them were immersed in silence in the eyes of everyone.
The two looked at each other, breathing calmly, but the strong aura still made people feel that they were in a fierce confrontation.
At the same time, Victor stared closely at Hermes, looked at his colorless eyes, and said:
"How much do you know about the name I just mentioned?"
At this moment, he even gave up on absorbing the origin of earth, and just wanted to get a clear answer from Hermes.
However, Hermes seemed to have fallen into extreme madness.
His golden eyes kept trembling, as if struggling with the memory.
"Habika...?"
Victor narrowed his eyes and stared at Hermes in front of him with his deep gaze, as if trying to penetrate his soul.
Is the memory confused?
Or was it disturbed?
Victor was a little helpless.
If that was the case, there was nothing he could do.
Because simply put, these "gods" that require faith are weak.
They became gods simply because they gained more human faith.
Gods like Hermes, in Victor's eyes, are just...
"The god-level boss who was lucky enough to gain eternal life."
Of course, this is only in Victor's eyes.
There are also hierarchical divisions among gods. Those with a level like Hermes are just the lowest level gods.
Compared with an evil god like Vega who can destroy half of the world's population with a single appearance, it is not worth mentioning at all.
If it was really just the leakage of Vega's divine power that affected Hermes, this is not impossible.
He simply ignored Hermes in front of him, lifted the magic and summoned Kokot.
"Kokot."
Kokot, who heard the call, was sitting on a cloud and drifted over.
"Ha...what's the matter?"
Kokot yawned, looking lazy.
After all, she hadn't slept all night.
Although she was no longer as sluggish as she once was, the exhaustion from the lack of regular rest was clearly visible on her body.
After she finished yawning, she looked down at Liya who was lying on the clouds.
Liya has been sleeping on the soft clouds for nearly ten hours.
Looking at it this way, she always felt that the hypnotic magic she had unleashed on Liya was a bit too much.
Victor looked at Kokot who looked a little tired and said to her in as concise a tone as possible:
"Inform Heimhorn that Hermes can be taken away."
Hermes is no longer capable now, and with his broken mentality, he won't even resist for a moment.
Because he is destined not to win.
Next, the Council of Mages sealed Hermes away like the Dark Master to ensure that this god would never appear again.
The existence of a god in the human world is ultimately dangerous, and the existence of a god also goes against Victor's purpose.
As long as no other gods appear in the world, it is only a matter of time for Vega to regain his former divine power.
Hearing Victor's words, he waved his hands easily and responded easily:
"Know it."
She patted the fluffy clouds beneath her and was about to fly away to inform other members of the Mages Council.
However, just as she was about to leave, she heard Hermes behind her repeating the same sentence as if possessed by a spell:
"Habika...Habika..."
"Habika...Habika..."
Therefore, Kokot, who was planning to leave, stopped.
She turned to look at the confused Hermes, frowning.
what's the situation?
Was he beaten stupid by Victor?
But Victor didn’t seem to take action?
"Is this a god? It doesn't look very powerful."
Kokot couldn't help but mutter.
Just when she wanted to ask Victor, she saw that he had turned around and walked towards the remains of the Earth Calamity.
Seeing this, she immediately understood Victor's intention, so she simply shut her mouth.
At this time, Victor was stretching out his palm, facing the mountain-like accumulation of earth disasters in front of him.
His dark trench coat fluttered in the wind, and flying dust swirled around him.
The originally black trench coat seemed to be covered in dust and covered with a layer of earthy yellow lines.
The original energy of the Earth Calamity slowly dissipated in Victor's palm, and finally turned into flying sand in the sky, rushing behind him.
At this moment, he was concentrating on absorbing the power of the Earth Disaster.
Erica, who was beside Victor, also saw this scene.
Erica watched Victor's actions and gradually felt a sense of fascination and trance.
Through what the eldest prince said just now, she realized clearly.
Professor Victor saved her again.
And now, seeing Victor's body full of elements.
His elegance and strength seemed to attract her with every move he made.
It seemed that fate made her want to become one with Professor Victor.
This state made her very puzzled.
So Erica could only stand aside quietly, watching helplessly as Victor gradually absorbed the origin of the Earth Disaster into his body.
As the quicksand blended into his windbreaker, the windbreaker behind it gradually took on the color of yellow sand.
Like a khaki coat covered in sand and dust.
At the same time, as Victor moved, the ground beneath his feet began to shake.
The rock shattered with a dull crushing sound, and dust swirled beneath his feet.
The mountain-like rocky remains of Uranona gradually disappeared into the soil.
It was as if he had returned to the earth and was hidden again.
Disasters do not die.
Even if their origins are absorbed, the world will still not be affected.
Otherwise, the sun shouldn't have risen on the world when Victor first defeated the Scourge of Fire.
When the rocky remains turned into mountains, completely integrated into the soil, and disappeared, the sky was finally exposed to everyone.
Countless residents hugged each other and burst into cheers of victory.
Their faces were filled with joy and their eyes were full of excitement.
But soon, they turned their eyes to the outside world and saw that the king's capital outside the square was in ruins.
At this moment, their mood fell from high to low.
The surrounding ruins were almost cut off, the entire royal capital was almost razed to the ground, and the surrounding area was completely empty.
The excited heart felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on it, and the world around it became extremely desolate.
The eldest prince also stood in the crowd, looking at the desolate land and sighed.
In the end, the royal capital was destroyed.
Such losses cannot be compensated by hundreds of millions of Geos.
Even such losses were eventually negotiated for compensation by Victor and the Cassidla Chamber of Commerce.
But the economic losses during the reconstruction of the royal capital were also huge.
But when something like this happened, everyone had no choice but to accept it.
"Let's simply build some shelters and houses first."
Just as the eldest prince was immersed in gloom and gloom, two worried voices suddenly sounded from behind him.
"Victor!? Victor, what's wrong with you?"
"Teach...Professor!? Professor Victor!"
Victor? What happened to Victor?
The moment he heard these voices, the eldest prince was shocked.
He hurriedly looked back and immediately saw Erica and Kokot.
Their eyes looked at Victor at the same time, their eyes full of anxiety and worry.
what happened?
The eldest prince felt confused and hurriedly turned his eyes to Victor.
Then his eyes widened.
Victor's figure began to become gradually illusory, as if he was about to merge into the air.
"Um……?"
Even Victor felt something was wrong.
He frowned, stretched out his right hand, and looked down at his palm.
The palm was gradually wrapped in a layer of phantom.
Immediately afterwards, a golden light slowly surrounded his body, making him feel that his body was gradually becoming lighter.
At this moment, a few lines of illusory text appeared in front of his eyes:
【You are gaining the power of "nature"】
[You are getting the status "Intermittent Illusion"]
Intermittent illusion?
Victor was a little confused.
But while the golden light was flowing, a dark shadow suddenly appeared.
It was like a sharp axe, cutting in from the middle.
Zila——
Kaka——
A burst of electric noise sounded, and Victor's illusory body suddenly froze in place.
[Failed to obtain status "Intermittent Illusion"]
["Ha**" detected - unknown error, retrieving database]
[The password is correct]
["Habika" virus detected - proceed to the next stage]
[Forced clearing target——]
At that moment, Victor's figure was as still as a dead robot.
"V...Victor?"
Kokot half extended his hand and shook it a few times in front of Victor in disbelief.
But Victor had no reaction.
Dark phantoms flashed constantly on his body, like electric currents traveling through him, causing his body to become distorted.
What is going on?
Similarly, Erica watched Victor's body gradually become more unreal, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.
just like……
Professor Victor seemed to be about to disappear from her presence.
"No……"
Erica stretched out a hand anxiously, her legs moving almost uncontrollably towards Victor.
She could only watch as Victor's body gradually became more unreal...
Until nothingness.
"don't want!!!"
Erica rushed forward excitedly.
But her body passed directly through Victor.
At this time, Victor's body had become like a phantom.
However, Erica could only turn her head weakly, with a trembling look of disbelief in her eyes.
As if she didn't believe in evil, she stretched out her hands to try to touch Victor.
Finally, her hands reached into Victor's body.
It was as if all it was touching was air.
Her pupils were trembling, and her eyes were filled with disbelief and sadness.
He watched Victor's figure turn invisible before his eyes, dissipating like air.
In the sky, a falling windbreaker landed leisurely and fell into Erica's trembling hands.
She lowered her head and looked at the windbreaker falling in her hands with trembling eyes.
I could only kneel on the ground helplessly, feeling the unbelievable pain.
Obviously Victor saved her time and time again.
But she couldn't do any redemption.
