Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

But Valkyrie Brunhilde's answer overturned Thirteen Sister's understanding: "No, it may not be him."

"Huh?" Valkyrie Thirteen was taken aback. "What does this mean? Does it mean that you secretly changed the order of the characters appearing on stage?"

"I didn't switch them."

The Valkyrie Brunhilde slowly shook her head.

Her expression was extremely heavy, yet it also carried some inexplicable thoughts that were not negative.

She moved slowly, as if recalling something.

"There's something I haven't told you..."

On the day she returned to her base, inside the building, at that moment, she saw a man.

A figure, gleaming with gold and resplendent in gold, dressed in full golden armor, was probably around five meters tall. This was no longer human; it was the height of a young giant.

The man seemed to have suffered some kind of injury, but the wound had stopped, he still had strength, and the injury was gradually healing.

The moment the man saw her, his scrutinizing gaze was incredibly sharp. It was as if, if she hadn't once been a mortal and thus a demigod, the giant golden man would have instinctively breathed on her and attacked her.

The burly, blond man brazenly flipped through his secret documents inside his base.

The big golden guy saw that she had been preparing for Ragnarok Online 1: Humans vs. Gods for a long time, and naturally knew what kind of person Valkyrie Brunhilde was.

She is a love-struck person who also loves everything about Siegfried, and because she loves Siegfried, she wants to protect the demigods and cyborgs of Siegfried's race.

That's why the big, blond guy didn't attack her.

Although she was a demigod with divine power, and she didn't see any divine artifacts on her opponent, she had a premonition that if the opponent wanted to attack her, she would be defeated.

At that moment, the big, blond man asked her with a cold, speechless expression, as if he were looking at her like she was an idiot: "These are the people you chose?"

Of course, the big golden guy wasn't dissatisfied with everyone. For example, he seemed to be quite satisfied with Adam, Lu Bu, Ying Zheng, and Tesla.

At that time, the Valkyrie Brunhilde responded to the other party with the following question: "So, what is your opinion?"

"Withdraw them all." The big, golden-haired man, seemingly used to issuing dictatorial orders, uttered these earth-shattering words without even bothering to explain his reasons.

So, will she agree?

Of course not.

How could a stranger of unknown origin, or even something that might not be human, just order her to cancel something like that? How could a grand plan prepared for so many years be so easily affected!

Even so, the Valkyrie Brunhilde still had a conjecture, a guess.

She kept a close eye on the tunnel where the human contestants were about to exit.

If, if there is any possibility... perhaps, the next person to walk out of that passage will be...

It wasn't him, it wasn't them.

It was him!

Volume 1: Chapter 52. He is humanity's representative in the war!

52. He is humanity's representative in this war!

"Next up are the human representatives who challenge the gods, the foolish pioneers of humanity..."

"That man!"

"Is this the end of Mercedes' seven-million-year history?"

"Should we forget our seven million years of pride?"

"The strongest, no, the fiercest and most insane warrior that humanity has ever had on the battlefield!"

"That's right, this man intends to maintain the will of humanity. Tell me, besides this man, who else can do it? Are there any other humans who can defeat a god?"

"He is definitely among the strongest in human history, does anyone disagree?"

"The strongest hero of China, Lü Bu, Lü Fengxian—!!!"

At the same time, Valkyrie Brunhilde stared intently at the human contestants' passage with an incredibly uneasy feeling—an unease she hadn't even felt when she learned of the gods' decree to exterminate humanity—with her eyes filled with extremely complex emotions.

In the very center of the arena, Heimdall, blowing his horn, held a biased stance, contemptuously believing that no matter how powerful humanity became, it would never have the slightest chance of challenging the power of the gods.

Even so, he still showed respect to the human players.

As the host, he naturally knew in advance who the participants on both sides, humans and gods, were. He had also seen Lu Bu's resume and photo, and he knew that he was indeed a powerful man, who must be ranked among the top 0 among humans.

Therefore, he was not stingy with his introduction to Lü Bu, at least not belittling the human warrior to the point of being worthless.

however.

However--!

Just as Heimdall had made his declaration and pronouncement, just as Thor was about to yawn, and in the stands outside the arena, all of humanity and all of the gods were about to watch the battle between Lu Bu and Thor, or perhaps a one-sided crushing defeat.

Just at this time.

Accompanied by a clear, heavy, and weightless sound—the sound of footsteps that clearly indicated the approaching being of immense size and weight, clad in extremely heavy armor of exceptional quality.

The footsteps were so powerful and resonant, like metal clashing, yet they were also filled with nonchalance.

It was as if he didn't need to be nervous at all, as if there were no obstacles to what he was about to do, as if he was invincible, unparalleled, and fearless in this world.

That was not Lü Bu, that was definitely not Lü Bu!

"That is!"

At that very moment, whether human or god, they should have frowned and looked at the host, Heimdall, questioning his abilities and his professionalism in being able to confuse even the human contestants.

This even led to widespread condemnation.

Or perhaps we should look to the Valkyrie Brunhilde and question whether this demigod, who is on the side of humanity, has chosen to cheat, having already decided on the candidate but then unilaterally changing the candidate without informing the gods.

That's how it should be.

However, that's the normal situation, that's normal logic.

Unfortunately, the current situation is precisely abnormal, and the logic flashing through the minds of people and gods is no longer normal!

Because of the person who replaced Lü Bu and appeared in the center of the arena, slowly walking in from the human passage.

No, I should say, was that really a person?

Although he doesn't look like a god, he has an indelible air about him, as if he once was a god.

Upon closer inspection, one might realize that while that thing may have once been a god, it is definitely no longer a god. However, to call it a human would be a stretch.

Is it possible for any human being to grow to a height of five meters?

Even setting aside height, among all humans, who is so handsome, beautiful, dashing, charming, delicate, pitiful, dignified, majestic, and domineering?

These qualities and appearances, any one of which could be perfected by any human being, are theoretically impossible to appear simultaneously or be concentrated in one person.

Because it's too contradictory.

Not to mention humans, even the gods, even the most charismatic god of love, could never do this. This is a scene that should never happen, an impossible event.

But at this moment, this event has truly happened, so truly that it couldn't be more real.

Whether human or god, what they saw was a colossal emperor, five meters tall, clad in golden armor whose sturdiness was no less than that of the supreme god's artifact, majestic and awe-inspiring, surpassing all human commanders throughout history.

The emperor's face seemed to be constantly changing, thus possessing all kinds of charm.

One person looks at him and he looks one way; another person looks at him and he looks another way; and when a god looks at him, he becomes a third kind of face.

Even setting aside his height and his strange, contradictory appearance and demeanor, the sheer power and strength emanating from this golden-armored giant are undeniable.

Even Zeus's gaze turned serious as he scrutinized and examined the object closely.

The golden-armored giant's power is not of the same origin as that of the gods, nor is it the same kind of divine power. However, there is no doubt that the golden-armored giant's strength is probably comparable to that of the supreme god. Gods below the supreme god would be no match for him in a one-on-one fight!

Heimdall stared in astonishment at the golden-armored giant. He was the first in the entire arena to realize what was happening, and because it involved his expertise, he couldn't help but angrily demand, "Who are you? The new human contender? Where is Lu Bu?!"

"God has no right to question humanity!"

Blow!

The moment Heimdall's question landed, a powerful surge of psionic energy erupted from the golden giant, striking Heimdall and sending him flying. He crashed into the arena wall, spitting out blood.

Heimdall's eyes widened. He never expected that he would be attacked first, as the referee, simply for asking a reasonable question!

He had no idea what taboo he had broken; all he could see was that the golden-armored giant seemed to have been activated by him, and now it wanted to kill him.

The golden-armored giant simultaneously used a thousand voices, a thousand tones, and a thousand emotions, more adept at deception than any god. He habitually used these to conceal his true voice, exhaling in a pretentious and affected manner.

"There is no place for evil gods before humanity!"

"Humans are the masters of the Earth, humans are the only chosen ones on Earth. The Earth belongs to humans, and the solar system belongs to humans. Anyone or anything that attempts to harm humans, regardless of the reason, deserves to die! They all deserve to die!"

"Gods? All the gods? Deities?"

"Besides kneeling before humanity, besides worshipping humanity, besides praising humanity's spirit and will, besides extolling humanity's infinite possibilities, besides worshipping the mysteries of humanity's body and soul every day, besides dreaming all day long about becoming human."

"Besides these, if you have any other thoughts, then from this moment on, you are no longer allowed to live!"

The fiercely protective hyena emperor, with its human-centric mindset, has triumphantly reclaimed the high ground!

Kassa immediately saw through his true form—a tired, weak, and socially awkward middle-aged stray dog—and saved the entire universe to atone for his past sins.

That's because he was the greatest benefactor of his entire Warhammer universe, an Ultraman who was utterly selfless.

Even when dealing with humans, punishing the empire, and torturing Emperor Neos, it is fundamentally out of disappointment and a desire for them to improve and live better lives.

He had no real objection to the Land of Light's punishment of Kassadin, nor did he harbor any resentment whatsoever.

He was convinced and willing to change, so even in the new world, he would never again engage in such extreme actions as he did when he ruled the empire, persecuting anything other than humans and invading Earth and humanity.

Perhaps they will not spread human supremacy again.

but.

None of this stops him from making fun of others!

Or perhaps this isn't just empty talk!

If the gods of this world still allowed humanity to live, he wouldn't have made such a grand declaration. But since he has already torn off all pretense and is going to destroy humanity, there's nothing more to say.

Before wiping out this pack of wild dog gods, let the socially awkward middle-aged man Neos, after a long time, give a grand re-cosplay of a human emperor!

"!"
