Seeing the murderous aura around the ice goddess, the announcer started to sweat because there was no way that a mere announcer could even think of competing against a real goddess, so surely he tried to justify the answer that he gave me because that justification was holding his life, so he was quite polite with his justification. Now I was also starting to feel like a boss and felt that I was forgetting something, but soon I was reminded by my system: "The arena administrator apologizes for their rude announcer, and they will make sure that the MILF hunter and Ice Goddess won't be left without proper compensation regarding this insult, but still, the rules are clear that if you have to quit the match, then you can only quit either while winning or losing because this law makes our other clients properly engaged with us, and besides that, we can offer something to you both; you just have to fight against the selected fighter from the system, and you will be allowed to leave the arena, so please think about it!" Hearing his words, we nodded because it was quite easy to fight two opponents in comparison to these many, but finding it as his insult, the announcer took a deep breath and spoke: "Sir, I will become a fighter in this match, and this will assure the clients that we aren't playing bogus here." Hearing his words, the system also sent us a message of approval, while a new list came to every fighter, and the new fighting eligibility included many things, and people were being given chances to fight one-on-one, while something was strange, as the announcer was put in front of Miyuki, and I had two powerhouses as opponents. Seeing it, I tried to complain but then I felt that everything is just planned game, they are again pulling the strings from the corners, so I felt that there was no use of talk here, so I came near miyuki and told her about the arrangements, well she was quite excited to fight against that creep but I had multiple doubts regarding that bastard, because there was no way a announcer could even be compared to a goddess in terms of everything but he was still not backing down, so it was surely a trap and I was getting a bad feeling about it but as I was about to give her something for protection, suddenly the rings started to shake and the parcipants are being started to put in groups with their opponents and the first match was of Thor and Susano! Both gods came in front of each other while greeting, and with the whistle of the start, they started the match. Well, at first Thor was making distance from Susano, but this time Susano was not holding back; unlike the previous match, he was using his swords this time. So surely it could be guessed by it how fierce he was if he was not even using swords in a match full of powerhouses of 999 participants, but this time he was clashing with Thor using his swords. Thor was clearly getting overwhelmed in terms of swordsmanship because he didn't know much about swords, but his overwhelming strength was giving him the upper hand in the clash. If a slash doesn't have enough energy to cut through flesh, then that swing can't even be called a slash, and the same thing was happening with Thor because despite being far better than Thor in swordsmanship, he was still getting pummeled by the overwhelming strength of Thor. So I was pretty envious of Thor regarding this strength, and that's why I was trying my best to take out all these mythical guys. They surely are way too overpowered, and there is no proper info about them in our world; every bastard just wrote a single thing about all the gods—that they are invincible—but why the fuck did nobody ever mention their limits or their skills? If they would have mentioned something about their attacks or patterns, then I might have found the way to counter such attacks, but all these religious suckers did was write how overpowered their god is and how shitty other gods are. Just suckers. That's why I hated such religious freaks more than their gods. But despite getting overwhelmed in the match, Thor didn't even manage to land a proper single hit on Susano, while Susano clearly hit him more times than I can count, but still the condition of Susano was looking far more grievous compared to Thor. Well, I was not much surprised because Thor surely had countless myths of him on how he trained and how fierce he also was in battle, so only proper skills were not learned by him; otherwise, he was really a frightening god. But on the other hand, Susano didn't pick anything else but his swords; he knows his swords like his blood vessels. So such a bad matchup was surely making me sweat, but they were not the only ones that were bad matchups because the Monkey King was set to fight Hela, and Miyuki was set up with that creep, while I was told to fight two guys at once because I was leaving the tournament after coming this far, and clearly the high-ups knew pretty well how much popularity I have, and if I quit in such final rounds, then the popularity will surely face a backlash. Anhur and Indra's names came to my system, as these two will be fighting me. Seeing them, I wondered if they had any myth to them, and sadly, I knew about them. The first guy, 'Anhur,' was an Egyptian mythological god who specialized in war, while this 'Indra' guy was surely more like Zeus; he was hailed as king of gods, but in myths, his reputation was not quite good, so again, a bad match for me. Fuck you all, arena bastards, for making me fight two gods at the same time.
