As Tensei pondered the mysterious doll resting on his shoulder, he felt a curious sense of connection to it. It seemed to hum with latent power, its presence almost comforting in a strange way. With a focused gaze, Tensei studied its features, searching for any clue as to its true nature.
In the moments before the battle began, Tensei's mind raced with possibilities. How could he unlock the potential of this enigmatic artifact? What secrets lay hidden within its seemingly innocuous form? As he contemplated these questions, a faint shimmer of light danced across the doll's surface, as if in response to his thoughts.
A spark of determination ignited within Tensei's heart. He knew that whatever abilities the doll possessed, they would soon be revealed in the heat of battle.

Liam summoned Apollo's Divine Bow and Lyre, the golden weapons gleaming with celestial light as he readied himself for combat. Raj focused on polishing his newly acquired armor, ensuring it was in pristine condition to provide him with the protection he would need.
Meanwhile, Tensei grappled with the enigmatic doll perched on his shoulder, uncertain of how to unleash its hidden powers. With no clear strategy in mind, he gripped his trusty paintbrush tightly, hoping that it would somehow aid him in the fight to come. And then there was Adam, who summoned the Gate of Babylon with a flourish, drawing forth a katana from its boundless depths.
As the contestants stood poised on the brink of battle, the air crackled with anticipation. Each one braced themselves for the trials ahead, their weapons at the ready and their determination unwavering. In the arena of combat, anything could happen, and they were prepared to face whatever challenges awaited them with courage and skill.

Principal Silvertounge's voice boomed across the arena, signaling the start of the battle. As the contestants surged forward, the air crackled with anticipation, each Apostle poised to unleash their unique abilities in the heat of combat.
Tensei wasted no time, swiftly sketching intricate designs in the air with his rapid strokes. With a flourish, he brought his creations to life, summoning forth a variety of replicas to aid him in battle. From towering golems to agile warriors, his sketches sprang to life, adding an unpredictable element to the fray as they engaged the opposing team.
Raj's mastery over electromagnetism proved to be a formidable asset on the battlefield. With a wave of his hand, he manipulated the magnetic fields around him, sending metallic objects hurtling towards his foes like projectiles. His keen intellect and strategic prowess allowed him to anticipate his opponents' movements, using his control over electromagnetism to disrupt their attacks and create openings for his allies.
Adam, wielding the power of Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon, summoned forth a dazzling array of heavenly treasures to aid him in battle. From gleaming swords to enchanted artifacts, each weapon carried with it the might of ancient legends. With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed torrents of chain-like weapons, ensnaring his opponents and binding them to the ground with the power of Enkidu.
Liam, channeling the divine energy of Apollo, wielded his manifestations with skill and precision. Drawing back his bow, he unleashed volleys of arrows coated in radiant light, striking down his foes with divine fury. Meanwhile, the haunting melodies of his lyre filled the air, bolstering the morale of his allies and sowing discord among his enemies.
As the battle raged on, each Apostle showcased their unique talents and abilities, engaging in a dynamic display of combat prowess. With versatile forms of combat and strategic maneuvering, they fought tooth and nail to gain the upper hand, their determination driving them forward in the pursuit of victory for their respective houses.

As Tensei's paintbrush danced through the air, he meticulously sketched intricate details of himself and his surroundings, bringing his clones to life with each stroke. The replicas mirrored his movements flawlessly, their movements indistinguishable from the original as they joined him in unleashing a barrage of sketches upon their opponents.
Adam and Raj found themselves overwhelmed by the sudden onslaught, unable to discern between the real Tensei and his clones amidst the chaos. As they struggled to keep up with the rapid pace of the battle, Liam's relentless barrage of arrows from a distance only added to their confusion, forcing them to constantly dodge and defend against the divine energy raining down upon them.
With each passing moment, the pressure mounted as Tensei and his clones closed in, their combined efforts overwhelming the Basilisk duo. Despite their best efforts to retaliate, Adam and Raj found themselves increasingly on the defensive, their attempts to strike back thwarted by the relentless assault of sketches and divine arrows.
In the midst of the chaos, Tensei's strategy began to pay off as the Basilisk duo faltered under the combined onslaught. With their defenses weakened and their movements hindered by confusion, they struggled to mount a coherent counterattack against the relentless onslaught of Tensei and his clones.

As Adam summoned Ekidnu, the chains descended from the skies with a menacing aura, swiftly ensnaring all of Tensei's clones within their grasp. With a powerful tug, the chains tightened around their targets, binding them to the ground and preventing any chance of escape.
With the clones immobilized, Raj wasted no time in utilizing his electromagnetism, manipulating the magnetic fields to draw the chains closer together. As the chains converged, their metallic links began to intertwine, gradually tightening their grip on Tensei's clones with each passing moment.
However, before the chains could deal a fatal blow, Liam sprang into action, his divine arrows finding their mark as they struck at the weak points within the chains. With precise aim, he targeted the areas where the chains intersected, causing them to falter and preventing them from fully interlocking.
The weakened chains loosened their grip, providing Tensei with a brief window of opportunity. With a burst of effort, he rallied his remaining clones, channeling his artistic prowess to break free from his confinement. With a swift motion, he shattered the chains that bound him, freeing himself and his clones from Adam's grasp.
As the battle raged on, each contestant pushed themselves to their limits, determined to emerge victorious in the intense struggle for supremacy.
