After defeating Poseidon, Carl did not immediately leave the arena.
Instead, he unleashed his super breath, and with a single exhale, Heimdall was slain.
Carl had never held any goodwill toward this world's Heimdall.
When Lü Bu appeared, Heimdall's commentary was dripping with disdain.
When Carl himself entered, Heimdall's words were just as venomous.
Naturally, Carl had no intention of letting him live.
But Carl's sudden act caused quite a stir.
Because Carl had already won the match, countless humans had their eyes fixed on him.
They too witnessed the exchange between him and Heimdall.
And then, they saw Heimdall simply vanish before their eyes.
『Spectator A』: "Wait, where did that referee go?"
『Spectator B』: "I don't know. He was just here, wasn't he?"
『Spectator C』: "Yeah, I saw him declare Carl-sama's victory and even speak to him!"
『Spectator D』: "Exactly. So why is he gone all of a sudden?"
『Spectator E』: "I don't get it… this is weird."
Up in the stands, Xiaoming and the others also noticed.
『Xiaoming』: "What's going on? Why did Heimdall-sama suddenly disappear?"
『Gray』: "That's impossible! He was standing right there just a moment ago!"
Brunhilde frowned, her expression darkening as a thought occurred to her.
『Brunhilde』: "Don't tell me… could it be Carl-sama?"
Xiaoming sighed and explained calmly:
『Xiaoming』: "Most likely, Carl-sama made a move and eliminated the referee. As for the reason, I have no idea."
『Xiaoming』: "But it probably has something to do with their earlier exchange."
『Gray』: "What? Carl-sama… killed Heimdall-sama? But why?"
『Xiaoming』: "That, I can't answer. But I'm sure Carl-sama has his reasons."
Brunhilde fell silent. Her mind churned with uneasy thoughts.
Could it be that Carl intended to wage war against the gods outright?
But… in this arena alone, there were tens of thousands of deities present.
If war broke out, the human side would clearly be overwhelmed.
Yet, thinking of Carl's overwhelming power, Brunhilde couldn't help but entertain a wild, almost unthinkable thought:
Could Carl-sama really intend to face all the gods, alone?
Impossible… surely not.
Yes, Carl was immensely powerful, but to challenge tens of thousands of gods?
That thought was simply beyond reason.
Meanwhile, the divine spectators erupted into disbelief.
『God A』: "Wh-what just happened?!"
『God B』: "Where's Heimdall?!"
『God C』: "That human…"
『God D』: "That human killed Heimdall!"
『God E』: "What nonsense are you spouting?!"
『God D』: "I saw it with my own eyes! One moment Heimdall stood before him, and the next, gone. Who else could it be?!"
『God F』: "That human who slew Lord Poseidon… of course he could kill Heimdall too."
『God G』: "That's… possible."
『God H』: "He dodged Poseidon's strikes with ease. If we can't even follow his movements, it makes sense we couldn't see what he did just now."
Gradually, outrage spread among the gods.
『God I』: "So it's true, he really killed Heimdall?"
『God J』: "Most likely."
『God K』: "That bastard!"
『God L』: "Not only did he slay Lord Poseidon in the arena, he dared to strike Heimdall after the match ended?"
『God M』: "Outrageous!"
『God N』: "He thinks that just because he has power, he can do whatever he wants?"
『God O』: "The match is over, and he still dares to act?"
『God P』: "There are tens of thousands of us here. Does he think one mere human can frighten us?"
『God Q』: "Of course not! I said it before, this tournament should never have been held. A handful of strong humans doesn't change the fact the rest are trash! They don't deserve to exist."
『God R』: "Agreed!"
『Gods』: "Destroy humanity! Destroy humanity!"
Though the gods couldn't deny Carl's strength, he had even slain Poseidon, they refused to believe one man could stand against them all.
Tens of thousands of deities filled the arena.
Even if Carl was mighty, could he withstand tens of thousands?
One strike each, and he would be torn to pieces.
No sane god could possibly believe that a single human could overcome such odds.
『Loki』: "My, my… the crowd is certainly lively."
A sly grin spread across his face as he turned to Odin beside him.
『Loki』: "Uncle, the gods are calling for humanity's destruction. What do you think?"
He addressed Odin because, among the most renowned gods here, Loki and Odin belonged to the same pantheon.
And with Zeus absent from the hall, the chairman of Valhalla's council and the highest authority, it was Odin who now stood as the most senior deity present.
In status and might, Odin was second only to Zeus.
Even the great Shiva, supreme deity of the Indian pantheon, was a step beneath them.
Thus, with Zeus gone, the weight of authority in this place fell squarely on Odin's shoulders.
『Shiva』: "Destroying humanity outright feels a bit extreme. After all, Ragnarok isn't over yet. Still… that human is far too arrogant. I say we kill him first."
Shiva's eyes burned with battle-lust. He had yet to take the stage, and if humanity were annihilated outright, whom would he fight?
『Aphrodite』: "Yes, I agree. That's a reasonable course of action."
『Ares』: "No. These humans have grown far too bold. I say we wipe them out completely!"
The memory of Adam's battle with Zeus was still fresh in Ares's mind. Even if he trained for a thousand more years, he could never match that human. The very thought infuriated him.
Thus, in his eyes, humanity had no right to continue existing.
Odin, however, remained silent.
Truthfully, he longed to see humanity destroyed. Lü Bu had slain his son, Odin's hatred ran deep.
Yet he remembered Zeus's warning. And though Zeus had been gravely injured, he still lived.
If Odin ordered humanity's destruction now, Zeus might hold him accountable later.
Or perhaps he wouldn't.
After all, Zeus had lost.
Still, uncertainty gnawed at Odin. He couldn't be sure where Zeus stood now.
So, for the time being, Odin settled on a compromise.
『Odin』: "Let us kill that man first. As for the rest of humanity, we'll decide later."
