Chapter 2635: The Tides
"The Earth faction leads again! 6 to 5!"
"Unbelievable! These duels have become far more intense than anyone predicted!"
Hermes’s voice rang through the coliseum as the wounded Hephaestus was carried off the battlefield. What remained of his once-mighty Titan Breaker lay scattered across the arena floor—glowing shards, twisted armor, and broken runes. Workers rushed in, sweeping up the remains while cheers erupted from Earth’s corner.
Chumo, stand tall, didn’t bask in the praise. Without delay, he downed a high-grade healing pill, his breaths long and slow as he steadied his pulse.
In the Earth corner, elation erupted.
Chumo’s power was undeniable now. The arrow that shattered Hephaestus’s armor wasn’t something any ordinary Magus realm warrior could conjure. Even the Earth faction hadn’t expected such force from the quiet Chumo.
Klea narrowed her eyes. Where did such power come from? That final attack—something about it made her uneasy.
On the other side, Kronos’s faction seethed.
The Kronos faction had only four fighters left.
But more than just numbers, it was the pressure that weighed heavily upon them now. They could no longer afford to send another Magus Realm warrior into the fray—not after Chumo’s overwhelming display against Hephaestus. Another loss would be devastating. If Chumo managed to secure yet another victory, the Earth faction would climb to seven points, leaving Kronos with little chance of recovering before the final matches. And with their maximum possible score being eight, Earth would only need one more win to secure a draw, a result Kronos could not tolerate.
They were the gods of Olympus. A draw, to them, was no different than defeat.
Zeus stepped forward with divine sparks flickering across his skin. His eyes burned with conviction as he addressed the throne behind him.
