As the voice of Chaos fell, Zeus showed no emotion on his face, but it was clear from his grim expression that he was struggling to contain his anger. As the king of the gods, his pride had been challenged like never before, but Zeus was also keenly aware that maintaining composure would be more advantageous for himself and the side he represented in the current situation.
Chaos continued to speak, his voice deep and powerful: "This ritual holds no benefit for me. As the primordial god, the origin of chaos, seeing the disputes among the gods become so intriguing, I merely proposed a more entertaining and fair resolution." Chaos's words revealed his deep understanding of the current chaotic situation, while also showing his playful attitude towards the conflicts among the deities.
Later, Chaos laughed again, "After all, you don't play fair either. You launched a surprise attack, colluded with many gods in advance, and took all the advantages to ambush us at the banquet. It's not very meaningful to the other side, is it?" This statement carried a kind of sarcasm, seemingly implying that Loki and the reformist gods' strategies, while cunning, lacked a spirit of fairness and respect for their opponents in Chaos's view.
Upon hearing these words, Zeus remained expressionless, but the anger and pressure in his heart continued to rise. He knew that facing an entity like Chaos, any impulsive and irrational behavior could lead to unpredictable consequences. Therefore, he chose silence, focusing all his attention on the upcoming " Final Kombat " ritual, preparing to face this significant showdown that would determine the future of the divine realm.
Shiva stands aside, his posture exuding strength and wildness, his hands clenched into fists, a look of eager anticipation for battle on his face. His eyes flicker with the flames of desire for combat, yet also reveal a sense of disappointment at not being able to engage in an all-out war directly. As the god of destruction and rebirth, Shiva's desire for battle and control over power are symbols of his instinct and identity.
In contrast, the Jade Emperor appears more calm and composed. He takes out a handkerchief from his robe and gently wipes his forehead, a hint of satisfaction evident in his expression, seemingly pleased with the " Final Kombat " ritual proposed by Chaos. For the Jade Emperor, such a resolution may avoid further unnecessary chaos and destruction.
The traditionalist gods mostly approve of this outcome. For them, avoiding a full-scale war and resolving disputes in a more civilized and orderly manner seems to better align with their belief in maintaining order and tradition.
However, the reformist gods appear less satisfied. They gather around Loki and Athena, raising questions and arguments. In their view, the battle that they had thought was within reach of victory has now become extremely unfavorable. Loki and Athena stand among the gods, their expressions clearly showing anxiety and unease. This sudden turn of events undoubtedly deals a huge blow to their carefully planned coup. They had originally held a clear advantage, with many powerful gods on their side, but now, this one-on-one confrontation has significantly reduced their chances of winning.
War God Ares, with a face full of anger, accuses Loki: "Bastard! The victory we were about to achieve has now gone down the drain!" His roar is filled with disappointment and anger, evidently extremely dissatisfied with not being able to show his strength on the battlefield.
Other reformist gods also expressed their dissatisfaction and concerns. Many of them are gods who are dissatisfied with the status quo and eager for change, but now, this sudden change has left them feeling confused and helpless. They originally thought that this coup would be the best opportunity for them to fulfill their wishes, but now this one-on-one approach seems to make everything uncertain.
In this situation, Loki and Athena tried to appease their allies, but their words seemed unable to completely calm the anger and dissatisfaction of these gods. They needed to quickly rethink their strategy and find new ways to ensure victory, but in the current situation, this seemed not easy.
The traditionalist gods on Zeus's side felt a secret joy at the chaos of the reformists. Zeus seemed satisfied with the current situation. He watched the reformist gods argue incessantly, a smug smile on his face, and loudly said to Odin and other gods, "It seems that we can easily win this Final Kombat ritual as well!"
Odin gazed at Zeus with his eyes covered by an eye patch. His voice was steady and serious as he responded, "You have time to be pleased with yourself, why not think carefully about the next list of candidates!" Odin's words revealed his emphasis on strategy and preparation, reminding Zeus not to underestimate their opponents based solely on the current chaos.
At the same time, Jade Emperor quickly stepped in to ease the tension, using his consistent wisdom and calmness to try to unite the power of the gods. He cautiously suggested, "The current situation is very favorable. Let's all think carefully about the candidates to be sent next, work together, and secure the final victory of this Final Kombat ritual!" Jade Emperor's words were not only an encouragement to the traditional faction but also a call to the entire divine realm, emphasizing the importance of unity and cooperation.
At this critical moment, the traditional deities began to gather and discuss how to select the most suitable representative under the rules set by Chaos to win this ancient ritual. They realized that even though they had a certain advantage in the current chaos, the real challenge was just beginning.
