As the referee announced the start of the duel, the most anticipated battle of the tournament finally began.
The opponents, Meat Mountain Ireya and Earth Bear Galgon, were already at loggerheads due to past grievances even before the battle started, and this fight was not just about their own lives and honor.
It was also a contest between the gods they represented.
In many myths on the Bratis Continent, it was recorded that gods would argue over disagreements and even prepare to physically fight.
However, considering the catastrophic consequences a battle of gods might cause, the disputing parties ultimately accepted mediation by the Divine King Diogenes and chose to select champions from the continent to fight on their behalf.
They agreed that the losing side would also have to accept all terms set by the other, which was known as a "God-Chosen Battle."
