The Void Eater's mega-avatar rose like a living nightmare—towering body of writhing tentacles, thousands of eyes blinking in sync, mouths chanting broken prayers from the First War. Purple sludge dripped from it, eating islands whole. Seal integrity blinked red: 9%.
Every fighter left felt the pull—souls tugging toward the abyss.
But something shifted.
Haru Cyrius, mid-punch, felt a weird ping in his reclaimed Crest. A hidden pulse. Not power… knowledge. The Void Eater, in its endless hunger, had accidentally spilled the gods' biggest shame: their hidden weakness.
Turns out, the gods weren't invincible. Back in the First War, when they teamed up to seal the Eater, they poured too much of their own essence into the Arena. Their immortality? Tied to the seal. Their thrones? Anchored to the tournament's rules. Break the Arena completely—shatter the seal—and the gods bleed real blood. Kill the winners before they make the wish? Gods lose control. But the real kicker: Divine power weakens inside the Arena when mortals unite in true defiance. No fear. No obedience. Pure rebellion starves them.
The lore flashed across every surviving fighter's mind like a shared battle plan.
Haru grinned savage, celestial dragon arms blazing. "Yo! The gods are scared of us sticking together! Their power drops when we say 'screw your game'!"
Clara's eyes lit up fierce. "Then we defy harder!"
The announcer lost it: "HOLY PLOT TWIST! GODS' WEAKNESS EXPOSED—THEY'RE LINKED TO THE SEAL! REBEL HARD ENOUGH AND THEY BLEED LIKE US! THIS IS PEAK GOD-SLAYING!"
Scoreboard flashed defiant:
FIGHTERS REMAINING: 912 TIME LEFT: 11:12:47 SEAL INTEGRITY: 8% AND DROPPING
The Eater avatar roared, sensing the shift—tentacles lashing wilder, trying to devour unity itself.

Dragon fists slammed the avatar's core—slow-mo golden crater. The hit landed harder than ever; Eater ichor sprayed, no phasing this time.
Clara spun beside him. "Sanctum Reversal—Defiant Light!"

Across the shattered Arena, every Divine Seed felt the weakness pulse and went berserk.

Clones baited god strikes—real daggers stabbing weak spots.

The entire battlefield turned into pure god-slaying symphony—slow-mo divine blood spraying gold and purple, legendary poses mid-strike, roars of defiance shaking the seal.
Gods above panicked real now—voices overlapping furious.
"Stop them!" "They unite—our essence fades!" "Seal it manually!"
Golden hands descended, trying to crush rebels.
But weakness hit hard—hands flickered, power draining.
Haru's punch shattered one hand completely.
The Eater avatar howled—conflicted. Gods weakening meant seal breaking faster, but rebellion starved its feast too.
Seal integrity: 3%
Fighters dropped to 842.
But morale? Sky high.
Haru floated center, celestial aura linking everyone.
"This weakness? It's ours now."
He pointed at the biggest rift—where a full god face tried to push through.
"Let's go collect some divine heads."
The alliance charged as one—golden, holy, storm, lunar, thorn, light, beast, shadow, rune, flame, petal, wind, ice, calm, nightmare, mirage, star, ribbon.
United rebellion army.
The gods screamed.
