(MC POV)
I was not prepared for what happened next.
I have severely underestimated the gods' views on myself.
When I stepped out into the arena, I was welcomed by the jeers and insults of all the Practitioners in the stands.
Everyone there really thought I was going to be humiliated and punished by the gods.
Someone even tried to throw an egg at me but Manami was quick to incinerate it and Kiyomi immediately froze that person in a solid block of ice.
Lian Li had materialised a bolt of lightning and would have tossed it at him if I hadn't stopped her.
Jeez, I know the people here may be much more durable but that might still kill him you know? The domain Anul created did not extend outside of the stage, ok?
At least that display dissuaded anyone else from trying to throw anything else so we only had to deal with the jeering as we made our way towards the stage.
