Demigods gazed up at the towering figure amidst the endless divine radiance and licked their lips, a seemingly incredible thought slowly welling up in their minds.
They wanted to slay a god!
This was the trial grounds, where one could not truly die. If even here they couldn't muster the courage to oppose and slay those of higher stations, then they would never be able to in their lifetimes!
They would never be able to ascend to higher stations!
"Humans are not necessarily inferior to the Ancient Gods."
"Battle!"
"In the name of mankind!"
One after another, heaven-piercing and earth-penetrating divine forms appeared.
They were incredibly huge, yet like fireflies, they flung themselves toward the endless brilliance.
After a moment...
The waiting area of the trial grounds.
"They've returned."
"So this is the true might of the higher beings, huh? I underestimated them."
Some demigods murmured.
Some demigods were bitter.
