On the day of the competition, the central square was teeming with spectators, including the leaders of the Temple of the Seven Gods and other significant figures who had come to witness the event.
The Sloth and Pride Temples each dispatched eight elite warriors, clad in their distinctive armors, their resolute gazes betraying their readiness to showcase their prowess in the contest.
Before the competition commenced, Enzo stood upon the grand platform and proclaimed the rules to the assembled crowd: "The competition will follow a single-elimination format, with random pairings for each round. The victors will advance, while the defeated shall be eliminated. Ultimately, the champion will possess absolute authority, second only to myself."
With Enzo's command, the competition officially began. In the first round, warriors from both the Sloth and Pride Temples ascended the arena, engaging in fervent combat.
