Chapter 219: The Sixth Battle of Ragnarök Arthur v/s Zeus Begins!!!
In this colossal arena, the sight of humans showing such irreverence toward the gods was truly an eye-opener for Safara and the others.
It didn't seem to be merely because humanity had won five consecutive victories and grown overly arrogant.
Humanity's mindset had fundamentally shifted. Regardless of the outcome of the remaining matches, even if humans were to lose, they had almost entirely shed their reverence for the gods and ceased to beg them for mercy.
As for the divine spectators, though they gnashed their teeth in fury, eager to clash with the humans opposite them, they had lost their former arrogance and condescension.
In the eyes of most gods, humanity had become their rivals!
Yes, the term [rivals]—it signified that the perspective of most deities toward humans had also changed.
Of course, wanting to fight the other side didn't mean they would indiscriminately slaughter them.
If the humans agreed to a life-or-death battle, the gods would engage them with the utmost respect, fighting and killing with honor.
"This is even crazier than our three-way war. They've all lost their minds."
Serafall murmured to herself once more.
The so-called Ragnarök battle had spiraled completely out of control between the two sides, and there was truly no stopping it now.
"Let us take a brief look back at the previous match..."
The commentator on the arena stage was using a highly evocative tone to review and comment on the last battle.
Thus, Serafall and the others caught a glimpse of the earth-shattering clash from the previous round.
"Is... is that the Siegfried of this world? He's... he's incredible," Rossweisse, also a Valkyrie, remarked with awe.
Of course, the Loki of this world also appeared far more terrifying than the one from her own world.
This Loki not only commanded Fenrir but also dominated Jörmungandr.
In her world, Jörmungandr paid no heed to Loki, and its size paled in comparison to the one here—like the difference between a child and a giant.
And the gap in power was immense!
The Jörmungandr of this world could likely rival the two Dragon Gods from her side.
"By the way, the All-Father?" Rossweisse muttered softly, her gaze sweeping over the spectator stands on the gods' side.
It seemed what Safara had said was true—Odin had been severely injured in the previous match and was probably still receiving treatment.
"Over there!" The Valkyrie of this world suddenly pointed in a direction, prompting Rossweisse to look. Her pupils contracted slightly.
In a rather prominent seat sat a middle-aged man connected to what appeared to be life-support equipment. Was that Odin of this world?
"Zeus isn't in the spectator stands. It really is as my sister said," the Valkyrie murmured again, her expression turning grave.
"Not in the stands? Could it be—!" The clever Safara's face changed.
"Could it be?" Serafall was stunned for a moment before realizing what it meant.
It seemed the sixth match would be even more extraordinary.
Finally, the commentator Heimdall began to announce the start of the sixth round of the ultimate battle between humans and gods, introducing the divine side.
"...He is known as the god among gods, the chairman of the Divine Council—Zeus!"
The moment his divine name was proclaimed, the frail, elderly figure who had seemed incredibly weak to them transformed instantly into a superbly imposing, rock-solid giant.
At the same time, the divine aura he radiated was unprecedented, forcing Serafall to desperately search her memories for any god from her side who could match it.
She realized that none of the gods she had encountered had ever exuded such overwhelming divine pressure.
"Then, who will be chosen as the representative for humanity?" The young sorceress, her hands tightly clasped together, seemed to have emotionally invested in the human side, her tender lips letting out a whisper of unease.
"And now, the human who will face the chairman of the Divine Council in battle is—!"
A figure could vaguely be seen emerging from the human side's passageway. For some reason, the sorceress felt an inexplicable surge of excitement.
"He is hailed as the knight among knights, the King of Knights!" the commentator declared, causing the sorceress's eyes to widen in astonishment.
Could it be—
"Upon first ascending the throne, the kingdom was in turmoil and unrest. At his call, the strongest knight order was formed, and the following regulations were established—"
1. Never commit rage or murder.
2. Never betray.
3. Never be cruel, and grant mercy to those who ask for it.
4. Always offer aid to ladies.
5. Never coerce ladies.
6. Never engage in quarrels or battles for love or the advantage of words.
At this moment, the sorceress girl was stirred to the depths of her heart.
Though these so-called regulations weren't quite the same in her world—somewhat similar, yet these six principles here shone even more brilliantly.
"That's right, everyone guessed it—he is the King of Knights who left legendary deeds in human history!"
It was indeed him!
"He is—King Arthur, Arthur Pendragon!"
With the declaration of the human representative's name, the radiant knight fully revealed his appearance and form.
His image perfectly matched the prince charming in countless women's hearts. Even the young sorceress felt her heart flutter the moment she laid eyes on him.
"It's King Arthur!"
The sorceress couldn't help but scream excitedly, which drew a surprised glance from the Valkyrie beside her.
"He's not your ancestor, you know."
Irina gently pulled the girl aside to remind her.
"Ah? Uh..."
The excited young sorceress immediately felt embarrassed. The girl, Le Fay Pendragon, had ancestors from the other side.
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
Rossweisse asked Serafall, who seemed to have made some startling discovery.
"Hmm, it must be an illusion. I thought I just saw Sona and the others."
She must have been missing Sona too much, causing her to hallucinate. She wondered if Sona was grieving over her disappearance as an older sister.
"Now, the final battle between gods and humanity—Ragnarök—the sixth round: Zeus vs. Arthur Pendragon! Begin!!!"
The moment the start was declared, the arena erupted with unprecedented brilliance.
No, the entire coliseum was bursting with light.
What was happening?
