Last night, a group of people gathered who would change the Empire of Man forever from their decision.
"Why did you call us Pantheons, sir?"
A man was sitting in front of a long table, and he said, "Before I answer your question, Ms. Rose. You should sit down and wait for others."
Ms. Rose, the secretary and leader of the Greek Pantheon, sits down on a chair after Mr. White's command.
'I see Commander White and I are the only ones who arrived first.'
Next to her was Commander White, the swordsman and leader of the Norse Pantheon. He covered his eyes in a blindfold and didn't say a single word to anyone.
When Anonymous, the sniper and leader of the Egyptian Pantheon, arrived, he didn't say a word, which made Rose suspicious and worried.
'This is first. Anonymous didn't cling to me when he saw me and was usually talkative.'
"Brother can stop going fast. What if Diamond sees me like this?"
"Haha, Horse, you should confess your love to her!"
The twins Horse and Shoe are the twin assassins and Japanese Pantheon heads.
Behind them is Diamond, the hacker and the authority of the Persian Folklore, and she says, "Ew, No!"
"You see, this why I don't talk to anyone except you, Shoe, and Diamond."
"I don't understand you, brother. Diamond rejected you without you confessing your love. But you still want to speak to her."
Diamond joined after the twins—the three sets. Horse and Shoe were in the same body.
Everyone was almost at the meeting, but the person was missing, and they were waiting to enter to start.
"What's taking him so long?"
After Shoe said that, the man he talked about entered and said, "Ha, ha, ha. Don't worry, Horse. I'm here now."
She was annoyed that he got the wrong name but didn't say anything.
"You took your sweet time, Day Demon," Diamond said.
Day Demon, the beast handler and captain of the Armenian Pantheon, also wears a whistle as a necklace.
"Don't worry, I came late because I had a troubling feeling about something, but I didn't want to miss one in the lifetime gathering of all Pantheons, so I am here. Ha, ha, ha."
'That doesn't explain why you run late.' Rose thought.
"I see everyone is here."
"Let's start our first Divine Council of the White Clan history! You'll be wondering why I called you here. Well, I need to tell you that our two Pantheons are dead! One died because of her self-fish behavior!"
'Mr. White did kill Ouranos, but who cares? She betrayed us anyway.'
"And, another one died because-?!" Before he could finish, Anonymous stood up.
"Hey, where are you going? The council just stared." Mr. White said to Anonymous.
"Can I leave? I'm not in the mood!"
'That's why he didn't cling to me because Steel's death affected him!'
"Hmmm? Sure you can. Get better and come back." Anon left.
"I have never seen that pervert be this quiet," Diamond said.
"Ha, ha, ha. Diamond, you are right. It seems he is a different person than usual." Day Demon replied.
"Sigh, why do you guys care about his feelings anyway? Let him be." Horse said.
"My brother is right. Let him mourn his rival even if they always bud heads!" Shoe agreed with his brother.
"Before I got interrupted. I was saying Steel got killed by an S-ranker named Excalibur, so we must mourn him with Anon. But it's too tiring to think about the past when we can think about the future, which I want to introduce our two new Pantheons to you!"
Two people came out of the shadows and showed themselves individually when he said that. The first one was Jack the Ripper, the killer and chair of the Aztec Pantheon.
Jack was the kid who got kidnapped by Men in White. Back then, he was so cheerful and kind, but with all those experiments, his skin color became super white, like a ghost, and now he never shares a word with anyone.
Diamond raised her hand and said, "Sorry for questioning you, sir, but wasn't Steel the leader of the Aztec Pantheon?"
"Yes, he was the leader, but now he's not with us, so we must get past that and start a new one. That's why Jack is now the leader of the group Steel used to be."
"Now that's said, let me introduce you to Air."
A woman or a man left the darkness, making everyone afraid because she had two heads on her shoulder and one on top. They could talk simultaneously.
"We thank you, Mr. White, for combining us siblings in one."
'This is creepy looking. Are Ouranos and her brother's heads on the shoulders? Then who's the top one?'
Air, the monk and leader of the Hindu Pantheon, and They went to sit on their chairs.
"These two are our new Elites now. Anyway, today, at the day, Day Demon and HorseShoe. You three should gather as many Men in White and monsters to attack..."
And finally, Mr. White, the leader of the White Clan.
A random man in white came into the room, rushed and sweating, an? Stop, "Si-si-sir, Anonymous w-went hunting pe-pe-people who killed Steel!"
"Why are you standing there? Stop-?!" Ms. Rose said after hearing the news.
"No, no, no need to stop him."
"But sir, he will get himself killed if he goes after him!"
"You are concerned with Anonymous, Rose. Even though he's being creepy to you." William replied.
"I'm just worried he gets hurt!" She answered.
"Don't worry about him, he haded worse before, and those rankers won't torture him anyway because the public wouldn't be happy, so they probably kill him instantly without torture! And besides, this will be good for us to know when two of the strong rankers are distracted fighting Anonymous, we would avoid them easily."
"Ha, ha, ha, if he's going to find the Steel's killer, then I have to go and find Night Demon."
"Day Demon, not this again. You saw it yourself. He committed s*icide!" Diamond said.
"Ha, ha, ha. I have known Night Demon all my life. He would never do such a thing and not even think about doing it. I am 100% sure someone covered it up as sus*icid after killing him."
"I heard enough, set down Day Demon!"
"Ha, ha, ha, Mr. White, why don't you believe—argh!"
"You paid your price for not listening to Master White!" Commander White said after slashing Day Demon's arms.

At the tournament, Ross gets up from the ground, and a blade is coming at him, but he turns his arms into strong metal, blocking it.
"You are strong, as I heard, James Ross." A man with a flaming spear attacked Ross. Justice was fighting someone else.
"Who are you?" He said when he was blocking the rapid attacks of the man.
"My name is not important. The only important thing is winning."
Samuel was fighting a flamboyant man on the other side of the tournament.
"My fun girls can not see my beautiful face with your ugly explosions." He even said he avoided the attacks by moving his smooth and feather-like body.
'What's with this man? He's dodging every attack.'
"The Prince of the Beau Belle Kingdom, Hermoso Bellissima, is easily evading Samuel Cillfhanger's attacks without effort."
"Prince, we are cheering for you!" The fan girls yelled.
"See, this why I am beautiful, and you are not."
Samuel was firing so many explosions that he forgot he was using lots of Flow energy.
'Shit, I was so focused on attacking him that I wasn't focusing on my Flow drying out.'
Hermoso Bellissima sees Samuel's face change and says, "By the looks of your ugly face, you have no Flow left."
He drew his sword, raised his head, and said, "Sakura Flowers: Mille lame di fiori volanti." His sword becomes cherry flowers floating down to the ground from above.
There was a range where the flowers fell out, but they were deadly if you got caught in it. Besides Samuel, two people were fighting close to the Blossoms.
"Huh? What is-?!"
The flower landed on both of their shoulders instantly. It got sliced, making them drop to the ground in pain, and they couldn't continue losing lots of blood simultaneously and quickly!
The Blossoms didn't kill them, though. They only landed in places where there was no instant death.
"Oh, you see that. Nobody can stop Hermoso Bellissima's special attack when they are within range. Is Samuel done for?"
The smoke cleared, and Samuel didn't lose any limbs or get a single stretch. "What in the world? Samuel Cillfhanger doesn't look like he got a single injury from the attack. Wow, that's what we like to see for A Rankers."
"Huh, how's this possible? How can an ugly person like you withstand my beautiful attack?"
He smiled and said, "It's a shame you faced me instead of others."
"You are taunting me? You ugly little loser!"
Tim and Junon teamed up on a different side of the center to fight two people, a young woman and a young man, and they had pistols with cowboy hats.
Bang, bang, bang.
"Oh, this so much fun, brother." Their bullets were bouncing around to catch Tim endlessly ricocheting.
Junon stopped in time to attack the siblings, but the brother suddenly moved, hitting Acadia's shoulder with his pistol and firing another one, hitting Tim. Making her stop attacking them, and time ran out.
"Fuck, you found the weakness of my time-stop ability? Didn't You?"
He smirked and said, "Hmmm, maybe?"
To be Continued.
