It's quiet… No matter how you look at it, the situation is just too strange. Well, the event that is about to occur is indeed going to decide the fate of a whole universe. And this is without even mentioning the two supreme existences standing high above all on their exalted thrones of condensed starlight.
My current location is somewhere at the edge of our current world, in the endless space that separates one universe from another. Less than three months ago this place was nothing more than another expanse of pure darkness, but now a tremendous wonder the size of a small moon stands proud in the endless void.
Pillars created from Edarium enforced with Havenium, minerals that could send even Eternians in a frenzy for a finger-nail sized piece, are used to support the giant construction. Beyond the nearly indestructible walls, endless stairs formed from pure Azure Crystal blankets the insides of the Colosseum. In the center of the monstrous construction, a Divine Formation rotates slowly pulsing with endless power.
Even for someone like myself, this kind of display far exceeds my imagination. No matter how you look at it this is a flex worthy of the one known as the strongest Creation God, Kane of Blue Steel.
On opposite sides of the main Divine formation that is most likely going to act as our arena, the protagonists of today's duel are sizing each other up. Behind us, the two Creation Gods are standing nearly unperturbed, with little-to-no anticipation in their eyes, showing nearly no emotions whatsoever while behind them endless inhabitants of both universes stand tightly packed together without daring to make the tiniest chirp.
Kane of Blue Steel; despite meeting him in person for the first time today, he is exactly what you would expect from a Creation God. Away from the tremendous aura that makes average beings unable to even raise their heads in his presence, his body is also a sight to behold; tightly packed muscles fill every inch of his torso while bear-like arms filled with enough raw strength to uproot a tree hang lazily by his sides. At the same time, his face is also almost a work of art: sharp eyebrows beautifully complements his calm but serious azure eyes while a short white beard covers his chin. If you dare to look close enough you can distinguish small arcs of blue lightning flowing freely above his unblemished skin. I might be a man myself, but sometimes you have to admit when you are inferior to another person of the same gender.
Silver Wolf Goddess Eira; she's a bitch. Everything else is irrelevant.
Although the strongest beings here are without a doubt the two Creation Gods, they are actually completely unable to interfere with what is about to occur today in any shape or form. If you look even deeper into the current situation, Creation Gods, despite the terrifying amount of power that they possess, are actually heavily chained by the laws created by the Supreme Goddess Eea. In these conditions, conflicts can only be solved by the Eternians under their rule.
But then a new question pops up: " What would happen if those Eternians refuse to fight? "
To be honest, not too long ago I had no idea. I presumed that there was something that Creation Gods used to bind said Eternians under their rule. In my case this has never occurred but, based on the relationship that I've managed to observe between the S+ Rank Eternian Lubba and Silver Wolf Goddess Eira, I used to believe that there had to be something to keep Eternians in check.
Head of the Ancient Tribes, Lubba is without a doubt the strongest person I've met so far. In the past three months, I actually had the chance to fight with her once… In the end, it was a one-side trampling. I didn't stand a chance from the beginning.
But, during our "fight" her true purpose became apparent; instead of trying to make me bow my head, she gave me countless priceless information on Eira that I never hoped to acquire. At that moment a theory formed in my head. Later on, after a long-distance discussion with Lludd, I finally understood the truth. In his case, Kane didn't do anything to coerce him. But for Lubba things are not that simple.
A better example of this binding that is used against Eternians can be seen displayed through the fourth-strongest Eternians under Eira's rule: Bafmel la Nos Davo. Skinny, with sunken eyes and completely bald, he looks like some Halloween decoration no matter how you look at him.
At first, I thought that he is another one of Eira's puppets but as soon as he opened his mouth all my thoughts were thrown through the window…
"Oi! Bitch! You promised that if I win today's duel you will kill me!" [Bafmel]
"Oi! Whore! Kill me!" [Bafmel]
"K-k-kill… Meee… Biatch Eira!" [Bafmel]
"Oiii… Stupid mutt! Kill me already…" [Bafmel]
"Oiii…." [Bafmel]
…
Yeah… He has been extremely vocal. From my understanding, his Eternian power makes him basically immortal.
But what happens when you live for eternity unable to die from natural causes? At one point or another, after losing all your loved ones over and over again, you lose the desire to continue living. For many Eternians, this just means that it is time to say goodbye to the world and kill themselves.
Unfortunately for Bafmel, this is not an option. And this is where Eira, a creation Goddess with nearly infinite power, comes in.
Well, anyway… It's something like that for Lubba as well, just slightly more complicated.
Unfortunately for both Lubba and Bafmel, Eira is a true bitch. She gave them a few breadcrumbs without actually filling them up no matter how much they begged.
Away from the two mentioned above, there is also one more Eternian under Eira's rule: Kykos Luno the Winemaker… He is slightly more special. As his name suggests, he is a winemaker… And he loves drinking his own products. Since we arrived in this place less than 6 hours ago, Kykos has already finished no less than 3 barrels of what appears to be wine… Although it smells more like gasoline… Despite this apparent bad habit of his, Kykos has the looks of your average scholar, with a tiny body covered by loose robes, long golden hair, and a pair of tiny glasses.
Our formation is completed by myself and the retards that followed me.
'Boom'
Out of nowhere, a thunderous explosion wakes me up from my daydreaming. At the same time, high above the giant Divine Formation, a scoreboard can be seen.
On one side the name "Kane of Blue Steel" glows in a serene azure light. Below him, a list of 11 team names can be seen.
1. Team " Endless Gloom "

On the other side the name "Silver Wolf Goddess Eira" pulses in a murderous argent tone. At the same time, another set of 11 teams are displayed below her name.
