Chapter 65 Under the Spotlight
An impatient Apollo couldn't wait to set the time for the war game on a bright, sunny morning.
As for the reports from the members of the clan about Cassandra and Daphne's disappearance, Apollo didn't take it seriously at all. He could feel that the favors they had done for him were still there, and he would find them again later; they couldn't escape!
The gods used their divine mirror technique, and a mirror-like scene appeared in every corner of Orario, spreading in real time.
Only at this moment can people feel the immense power of the gods, that the other is another species, immortal and possessing supreme power!
Almost everyone in Orario stopped what they were doing, looked up at the scene in the mirror, and wondered about the outcome of the war game.
The war game takes place in the arena, the same place where the Ganesha Familia holds their monster festival.
Since it was a ring battle, no special venue was needed, which relieved the guild staff.
Although there was a divine mirror that the gods had revealed, more people preferred to go to the arena to watch it live, since it was in the arena, not outside the city, and not far away.
Orario was packed with people; the arena, which could hold 50,000 to 60,000 people, was completely full, and countless others outside were watching the scene in the Divine Mirror intently.
The front row seats were naturally taken by the gods.
"Damn it, why didn't I think of starting a war game to snatch Roy away!"
"Apollo beat him to it!"
"Stop being so cocky. Leon from the Astrea family isn't someone to be trifled with. I have a feeling Apollo's up to something, but that doesn't seem like it!"
"How could he possibly have such a brain?"
……
The gods were in an uproar, constantly complaining.
The rest of Loki's Familia watched through the Mirror of the Gods from the Twilight Mansion. Loki himself brought Ais to the scene, which attracted a lot of attention.
Fiora Wallenstein was the world record holder for the fastest level to LV.2 before Roy appeared.
"Aistan, it's so scary, you have to protect me." Loki pretended to be a little woman.
"Don't touch me, or I'll beat you up!"
The beautiful young girl was young, but under the guidance of others, she was already adept at dealing with her god's opportunistic behavior, her little hand pinching Loki's lewd hand.
The god, whose divine power was sealed, cried out in pain as he was squeezed, his face a mixture of crying and laughing, "How terrifying!"
The people around them were very envious of this unusual yet very close master-servant relationship.
On the upper level of the Tower of Babel.
Freya did not appear at the scene. Her allure was too terrifying. Even if she did not release it on her own, it would still affect people unintentionally.
Therefore, unless on special occasions, she cannot appear in public; this is an unspoken rule among the gods.
Freya sat in a luxurious chair, looking down on the mortal world like a supreme queen of the gods. "Apollo, you're always causing me trouble."
"Fine, I'll let you off this time since you didn't lay a hand on her."
……
"Good morning, everyone. I am Ibri Achar, a member of the 'Ganesha Familia' responsible for broadcasting this war game live. My title is 'Flame Burst Flame,' please take good care of me!"
A brown-skinned young man wearing goggles appeared in the Divine Mirror, holding a magic stone microphone.
"Our narrator is our supreme god—Ganesha! Ganesha, please say a few words!"
"—I am Ganesha!!"
"Okay! Thank you, God Ganesha!"
Ibri and Ganesha's antics had everyone in Orario laughing out loud.
"Everyone! The war game between the Astrea Familia and the Apollo Familia is a ring battle. Each side will send out three adventurers, best of three rounds!"
"Apollo's condition is to obtain the 'Sprout of Justice' from the Astraea Familia! If you lose, you are at the mercy of the goddess Astraea!"
"Without further ado, let's begin. Both sides, please send out your first adventurers!" Ibri shouted.
"Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh—"
Led by Ibrahim, the atmosphere at the scene was electric, with deafening cheers erupting throughout the arena.
But as time went by, what puzzled everyone was that neither of the two clans sent anyone out.
The atmosphere was somewhat eerie.
That's for sure. If you want to play the Tian Ji horse racing strategy, you have to be the second move, otherwise you'll be the one being played.
Apollo looked anxious. Why hadn't Astraea sent anyone to the field yet? Whether it was Gale, Roy, or that bystander, it didn't matter.
Seeing Apollo growing increasingly anxious, the goddess Astraea remained unmoved, her face still bearing that noble and elegant smile, giving off a cunning and scheming vibe.
It seemed that the two sides were destined to remain deadlocked.
At the crucial moment, Roy spoke up. He wasn't in the mood to dawdle, "Miss Ryu, go!"
Liu glanced at Roy with her sky-blue eyes. Yesterday, when they returned to the Star Garden, Roy didn't say anything, but Liu sensed that he wasn't in a good mood.
"I see."
Ryu entered the dueling arena carrying a wooden sword.
A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted in the arena. Seeing "Swift Wind" in the very first match was definitely worth the trip!
Ibrahim also shouted, "Please, Apollo's Kinsei, send your own representative!"
Seeing that Astraea had sent out a superior horse, Apollo breathed a sigh of relief. His gaze lingered on his own retinue before finally settling on an elven youth.
The members of the clan followed Apollo's gaze and all turned to look at the blond-haired elven youth.
The blond elf youth noticed something was amiss, looked around with a puzzled expression, as if asking, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Am I some kind of inferior horse?!
He's a Level 2, even though he just upgraded.
Hyacinthus coldly replied, "Go, and don't embarrass Lord Apollo!"
The blond elf youth had a blush on his face. So, even if you lose, you have to lose gracefully?
Everyone knew this was a lost battle, and faced with pressure from the God and the leader, the blond elf youth had no choice but to reluctantly step into the dueling arena.
The blond youth stared at Ryu, who was also an elf, gritting his teeth. "Swiftwind, I know you're a LV.4 adventurer, but defeating me won't be that easy!"
Liu said calmly, "Are you finished?"
"not yet……"
Just as the blond elf youth was about to answer, his voice abruptly stopped, and a golden phantom flashed before him.
"But I've already listened to the whole thing!"
Liu appeared in front of the golden-haired elf youth in an instant. He did not hold back just because the other party was of the same race. He swung his wooden sword and struck the other party's side, sending him flying.
A heavy, muffled sound rang out.
thump!
The blond youth flew thirty or forty meters before landing on the ground, rolling several times, and lying there paralyzed, spread-eagled.
"This is a Level 4 adventurer!"
The blond elf youth's eyes were glazed over; the difference in skill was too great, and he was defeated in a single exchange!
A cheer erupted in the arena.
Roy's icy gaze fixed on Hyacinthus within Apollo's Familia. "Come up, Hyacinthus!"
