"Oh——"

In the heaven, noisy sounds came from the Valhalla Arena again.

The much-anticipated second showdown of 'Twilight of the Gods' that will determine the fate of mankind has arrived as scheduled.

In the arena, Heimdall held the 'Final Horn' and excitedly explained: "Okay! Although the arena was almost destroyed because of the intense first battle, it has now become completely new under the 'miracle'!! You guys are ready."

Are you ready!? The second battle is about to begin——!!!”

As he spoke, he listened to the cheers in the stadium.

At this moment, both humans and gods are in high spirits.

Because humans had won the first battle, they now had hope of defeating the gods, so they cheered.

The gods on the other side were simply angry.

They originally thought that destroying mankind was just a thought, and this so-called 'Twilight of the Gods' was just a farce.

According to the rules, in a one-on-one duel between 13 and 13, even if there is that monster among humans, a powerful man who does not know his identity or even what he is, he can only win one game.

So what if this one is given to humans?

They should have won a great victory, easily defeated the human warriors with a crushing force, and then brought judgment on all mankind.

But now, the first game has failed.

If we lose again in the second game, how can the gods still have face!?

"First of all - the combatants from the human side!"

Heimdall raised his hand and pointed to the passage on the human side, roaring at the top of his lungs.

boom--

As his words fell, the ground began to tremble, and the floor constructed of the sacred rock split and a stone pillar soared into the sky rising from it.

At the top of the stone pillar is the figure that looks like a work of art. At the same time, the sound of wild beasts is heard, the passage is filled with smoke, and hundreds of beasts roar into the venue.

Not only beasts, but also birds in the sky, and oceans and swimming fish in the split earth.

"Seeing this scene, everyone should have guessed who he is!?" Heimdall introduced in a high tone, "'The fish in the sea, the bird in the sky, dominate all living things on the earth.' He was once said by God

The man thus blessed and created...until the day comes when he betrays the gods!!"

boom--

Despite Heimdall's impassioned voice, the figure on the stone pillar suddenly jumped up and fell to the ground.

Immediately, birds, beasts and fish all bowed their bodies in submission.

"He is the first person in the world who calls himself 'man', and he can be said to be a man among men!!"

Following Heimdall's introduction, the humans in the stands seemed to realize the identity of this figure: "This... this perfect body that looks like a work of art, could it be that one!?"

I saw the man holding up the fruit in one hand and holding an iron fist in the other, with a loving smile on his face when he looked at the human being.

Such characteristics made everyone burst into tears.

It’s unmistakable. Apart from Adam, the ancestor of all mankind and known as the ‘Father of Mankind’, there can be no other person!

"Oh! Oh! It's so beautiful!" Michelangelo held the brush in his hand as if to preserve the 'perfect thing' in front of him on the drawing board, his eyes filled with tears of emotion.

This man is the ‘human being’ in mythology, the only myth other than gods! He is also the only existence that humans can believe in after the gods abandon humans!

"It's so touching! The father of mankind stood up against the gods to save mankind!!" Shakespeare looked at the scene in front of him with tears in his eyes, waving the pen in his hand and writing quickly, as if he wanted to write this scene into his own

The play was circulated around the world.

Of course, there were not only voices of approval for Adam in the venue, because there were not only humans but gods as well.

"Is it actually Adam? This sinner!"

"You want to challenge the gods even though you are so weak!? How stupid!!"

"Okay -" Heimdall's voice sounded again, covering up all the noise, "Adam's unexpected appearance, even the gods can't help but make a noise!! So next... we have to deal with this human being

Which god was it that the first ancestors showed off to each other?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gestured towards the entrance to the arena, which represented the gods.

"This lord is also the god who can be called the 'strongest'! He is the existence that stands at the apex of Indian mythology, the 'strongest god in India'——"

"——"

"..."

"Um?"

A cold wind blew by.

Heimdall stopped talking and looked at the entrance with some confusion.

According to the script, when he said this, the adult should have appeared with his fists waving, right?

"Zizi——"

Suddenly, the sound of electric current came from the headset.

Heimdall quickly picked up the conversation.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong?"

"What!? Change the candidate? Change it to who?"

"You...you you you...who do you say you are!?"

After hearing the content of the words, he was trembling all over and didn't know what to do.

"Did something unexpected happen?"

Everyone in the audience, whether they were gods or humans, felt confused when they looked at Heimdall's appearance.

"Does the God's side want to replace the candidate that has been prepared? Sister Hilde?" Grace asked tremblingly, "But if I guess correctly...according to the information that Lord Heimdall just introduced,

The original candidate for this battle should be Lord Shiva, the main god of India, right!?"

"Yeah..." Brynhildr looked solemn, "It seems that they have become more vigilant. After the failure in the last game, do you feel that sending this person is not safe enough?"

"Not safe enough!?" Gray trembled when he heard this.

Shiva, that is what is called the ‘God of Destruction’, the pinnacle of Indian mythology! He achieved such a status all by relying on his fists, he is a real powerful god!!

Even if such a being comes on stage, you don’t think it’s safe enough? Then who do the gods think is appropriate to send on stage!?

Just when everyone was confused, the sky suddenly darkened.

Then the melodious sound of violins echoed throughout the arena.

"This piece... belongs to Mr. Bach..." In the human stands, Mozart heard the melody of the violin piece and was surprised.

"That's right! This is exactly my "Aria on the G String"... But..." Bach, the father of music, burst into tears listening to the performer's superb performance. "I have never played such a beautiful performance in my life."

Have you heard of it! Who is it!? Who is it!?"

Everyone looked towards the direction where the sound of the piano came from.

‘Superb’ is indeed an appropriate adjective.

Because it is a god who is playing this piece of music into a heavenly sound at this moment.

I saw an elegant figure playing the violin while slowly walking out of the passage on the god's side.

"He...Lord Hermes!?"

Seeing this figure, Gray and Brünnhilde, who were high up in the stands, suddenly changed their expressions.

"Is the next opponent going to be Lord Hermes?" Gray asked in surprise, "But... Lord Hermes shouldn't be a combative type, right? Sister?"

"Indeed..." Brünnhilde had the same idea as Gray. At this moment, her face was covered in cold sweat, as if she thought of something bad, "Could it be that..."

"Um...everyone, I'm really sorry..."

Heimdall used a trembling voice to reveal the answer to the humans and gods present.

"Allow me to reintroduce you to the second fighter from the gods' side! The one who wants to show off with the man among men is... this guy... oh no! I should say it's this lord!"

In line with Heimdall's trembling voice, Hermes smiled and respectfully stepped aside like a performer about to take his final call.

And behind him, a rickety figure that frightened all the gods slowly stepped forward.

"It's me~~"

The old man laughed and danced.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Gray looked at this figure and his hair stood up in fear.

Even Brynhildr's expression on the side became ferocious at this moment, "It is indeed this guy...Zeus!!!"

That's right, Hermes was always by Zeus' side to handle various matters for him, just like a competent housekeeper.
