The mont Zeus' na was spoken aloud, the human spectators erupted in shock.
『Human Spectators』: "Ze…Zeus?!"
『Human Spectators』: "That old man is Zeus?!"
On the human side, disbelief spread like wildfire.
『Gray』: "Sister… what's going on here? Why would Lord Zeus, who should've been the finale, take the stage so soon?"
Brunhilde's expression turned grim. She hadn't expected this either. Zeus, the King of the Gods, should by all rights have been the ultimate trump card, the last to appear. Yet here he was, in the second match.
The only ones who knew beforehand were Zeus himself, Hers, Shiva, and of course Carl. Not only did Carl know Zeus would step out early, he also understood why.
Originally, the second-round opponent should have been Shiva. But Zeus, stirred by the sight of the previous fight, humans matching gods blow for blow, could no longer restrain himself. Burning with excitent, he demanded to fight next.
『Carl (to himself)』: And I know more than that. In this round, Adam will fall. Or rather… he'll win, but lose.
Adam would defeat Zeus, knocking him to the ground, rendering the King of the Gods completely unable to retaliate. Yet before that final strike could land, Adam would already be dead.
『Carl (to himself)』: A pity… but this ti, with here, I'll make sure things go differently.

When Zeus left his seat for the arena, the empty place he vacated was imdiately filled by another god, a towering, muscular figure clad in a bronze helt radiating martial might.
This was Ares, the War God of Greek myth, one of the Twelve Olympians. The embodint of slaughter and strife.
,
On the stage, Heimdall worked the crowd as master of ceremonies.
『Heimdall』: "I never imagined that already in the second round, we'd witness this legendary dream match, Adam versus Zeus! This is the pinnacle of human and divine combat!"
The spectators roared with passion.
『God-side Audience』: "Lord Zeus, crush him in a single punch!"
『Human-side Audience』: "Go, Adam! Don't give in!"
,
Zeus sauntered up to Adam, smiling faintly.
『Zeus』: "Hey, aren't you going to use that? You know… the trick where humans and Valkyries fight together."
『Zeus』: "If you don't, you'll be finished in an instant, little boy."
Adam's face didn't so much as twitch. He lifted a finger skyward.
『Adam』: "Already here."
Zeus glanced upward, and saw a Pegasus soaring above the arena. Atop its back sat a slender figure.
On the human stands, Gray gasped.
『Gray』: "That's…!"
『Brunhilde』: "Yes. The Valkyrie most suited to the Progenitor of Humanity, Reginleif."
The Valkyrie leapt from her steed, descending straight toward Adam. His lips curved ever so slightly.
『Reginleif』: "Adam, give your hand. What matters most is the bond of hearts. Only then can I beco a part of you."
Adam raised his hand, eting hers mid-air.
[Divine Weapon Synthesis, Volundr, Activated]
Reginleif's body dissolved into erald light, enveloping Adam completely.
From the human stands, Xiaoming leaned forward, curious.
『Xiaoming』: "Hey, Superman, what kind of weapon do you think Adam will get?"
Brunhilde had explained Volundr beforehand, and the thought gnawed at him.
Carl smirked knowingly.
『Carl』: "Sothing… amusing."
『Xiaoming』: "Amusing?" …Ah, I see. He is the first human, after all. His weapon ought to be sothing unique.
The chat group buzzed as well.
, , , , ,
『Hot-blooded Spider-girl』: "Right! What weapon will Adam get? I can't wait to see!"
『Shirley』: "I think it'll be sothing simple… maybe a club or spear."
『Pink-haired Container』: "Eh? Why so plain? Shouldn't it be sothing like a massive blade or spear? More destructive?"
『Shirley』: "Adam was the first human. Back then, there weren't any complicated weapons. Volundr chooses what best suits the fighter, rember?"
『Hot-blooded Spider-girl』: "That… actually makes a lot of sense."
, , , , ,
Not just the group, everyone, including Zeus himself, was eager to see what Adam's weapon would be.
At last, the light dissipated.
On Adam's right hand glead a weapon, a set of brass knuckles.
The audience was dumbfounded.
『Heimdall』: "Brass knuckles?!"
Even Brunhilde broke a sweat. To many, the weapon looked no different from wearing a few oversized rings. Far from flashy. Far from intimidating.
『Adam』: Not bad. (He flexed his fist, the knuckles gleaming, and seed satisfied.)
Seeing both sides ready, Heimdall raised his horn-like voice.
『Heimdall』: "Then let the battle comnce! Ragnarok, Round Two! Zeus of the Gods versus Adam of Humanity! Begin!"
He darted out of the arena as quickly as possible.
,
But neither fighter moved imdiately.
Zeus broke the silence first.
『Zeus』: "A fine choice of weapon, boy."
『Adam』: "Yeah, it's not bad. What about you, old man? Where's your weapon?"
The gods in the stands froze. Did he just… call Zeus 'old man'?!
Zeus' grin widened, cruel and feral.
『Zeus』: "I want to hear the sound of your bones breaking beneath my fists. That's why…" (He clenched his bare hands.) "…I'll be fighting empty-handed." The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the Nove1Fire
『Adam』: "Is that so? You'll regret it."
Zeus lifted a thumb in approval.
『Zeus』: "I like your spirit."
Then, without warning, he sprang forward, faster than lightning.
『Zeus』: "Take this!"
His fist streaked toward Adam's skull like a thunderbolt.
