Back in the kingdom, an important meeting commenced. The king and queen sat in regal splendor, their champion standing beside them.
Sixth Kingdom – The Balance of Draven
King: Aldric Wrynn
Seventh Kingdom – The Shadowed Dominion (Mythros' Domain)
King: Malrik Duskwind
Fourth Kingdom – The Realm of Lunara
Queen: Seraphina Everglow
Greg rose from his seat, a smirk playing across his lips.
Greg: "Good morning, everyone. Welcome once again. Before we begin, I want to introduce my champions. As you know, I have already introduced my ten wives. However, five of them are not just my queens—they are my reigning champions."
The Warrior-Generals – The Iron Shields of the King Valeria – A master tactician and strategist, cold and calculating. Selene – A deadly assassin specializing in stealth and poisons. Reika – A fierce warrior from the East, skilled in dual-wield combat. Isolde – A former knight with unmatched swordsmanship and honor. Amara – A brutal brawler with raw strength and resilience.
Greg's gaze swept across the room as he continued.
Greg: "In addition to my champions, three remaining warriors have endured countless trials in the arena. Tomorrow, they will face their final test. The victor will be granted a single wish—whether it be power, wealth, or even women—if it is within my mortal reach."
The meeting continued as the kings and queens discussed the upcoming Seven Kingdom Champion Selection Tournament.
King Greg: "The main reason I invited you all here is to showcase my champions' abilities for the tournament. First, I propose an exhibition match—my wives against the three survivors of the arena: Aron, Nile, and Ethan."
King Aldric Wrynn: "I also wish to showcase my champion. On the second day, let's hold a two-on-two exhibition match."
King Malrik Duskwind: "Agreed."
Queen Seraphina Everglow: "I support this proposal."
King Greg: "Then it's settled. We will have an exhibition match, and on the third day, we shall celebrate with a grand feast."
The rulers all nodded in agreement.
Just then, a shift in the air stirred the room.
The gods had arrived at the Grand Hall.
Divine Patrons of the Kingdoms Draven, The Silver Coin – The god of balance and fate. Mythros, The Hidden Patron – The enigmatic overseer of shadows and destiny. Lunara, Goddess of Serendipity – The celestial force of fortune and foresight.
Gods: "We have come to witness the matches of our governed kingdoms."
King Greg: "Of course. You are all welcome."
Nile, watching the divine beings, felt an idea spark in his mind. He activated his skill, hoping to gain insight into their powers. The moment he did, a vision struck him—a mere glimpse into the gods' unfathomable strength.

A sharp pain shot through Nile's body. His vision blurred. 80% of his MP was instantly drained.
A voice echoed through the grand hall.
Zeraphis: "Vaelora and I wish to join this meeting. However, I have no desire to wait until tomorrow to witness the arena. I want to see it now."
Draven: "Just wait until tomorrow, Zeraphis."
Mythros: "Hahaha!"
Zeraphis lunged at Draven, but Draven effortlessly dodged. A surge of power crackled through the air.

Lunara: "STOP!" she commanded, her voice ringing through the hall.
Both gods ceased their brief clash, and laughter filled the room as they returned to their seats.
Vaelora stepped forward, her gaze locking onto Aron for a brief moment.
King Greg: "Welcome, Zeraphis. What brings you to this meeting alongside the other gods?"
The room fell into hushed silence as the gods took their seats.
The night carried on, but the weight of what was to come loomed over them all.
Zeraphis: "I have a proposal…
