The festive atmosphere began to turn against the two gods; they were being judged by their peers and didn't like what they were hearing.
"What do you suggest then?!" Heimdall asked a bit displeased.
"Let Hestia get help from someone; it seems better that way," Hermes suddenly spoke.
"Hmm... I think it could work, but we'll defend the siege, and the family she asks for help cannot be from Orario!" Apollo spoke loudly.
"How shameless, he made the situation worse for me..." Hestia couldn't help but comment but ultimately accepted.
Hermes then raised his hands, signaling for the divine meeting to take the course of the proposed challenge. "Let the pre-war period of the game between the families begin. May the decisions and actions of all in this game reflect the greatness of the gods!"
Now, the deities were animatedly discussing, expressing their opinions on the courage of the Hestia Family in accepting such a daring challenge. The majority of the gods were betting on Apollo and Heimdall, confident in the numerical superiority and martial skills of their families.
Others, however, saw the challenge as a unique opportunity for the Hestia Family to prove their bravery.
"Hestia really believes she can defeat Apollo and Heimdall? This is a bold gamble," Dionysus commented, the god of wine, while savoring a cup of celestial nectar.
Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, raised an eyebrow with interest. "My faith is in Xin and Hestia. You'll see; the Hestia Family will surprise everyone, while i never see that God lose even facing Odin and Zeus in Ragnarok."
Olympians and other gods shared their opinions on who would emerge victorious. Tension hung in the air, and even deities who normally didn't care about such disputes were curious about the turn of events.
"Hestia is known for her humility and dedication, despite being the virgin loli. Perhaps she has an ace up her sleeve that we don't know," Suggested another goddess.
Meanwhile, Hermes, the divine messenger, acted as a mediator and master of ceremonies, maintaining order during the heated discussions.
He observed the exchange of expectations among the gods, noting the bets being made and recording interesting comments for divine posterity.
"I bet on Apollo and Heimdall!" Exclaimed one of the divine beings, his confidence evident in his words.
Freya, with a malicious smile, said, "I'll place my bets on the Hestia Family. They might surprise, especially with this siege game."
"Then can i place my bet too?" Suddenly a black cat jump into Hetia's shoulder speaking.
"I will bet Xin and my creation, Ex-Machina: Schwi Dola."
"What! Its you Hecate!"
They never expect to see the Goddess of Magic Hecate and betting one of the most powerful creation she have, the Ex-Machina Series
You know, Ex-Machina: Schwi Dola is know as one of the most powerful War Puppet that God Xin and Goddess Mecate created back in teh past.
It said that Ex-Machina contains a unimaginable Magic Circuit that even today no one know how to make.
And right now, after for so many years, Ex-Machina appear again, not on a war but in the bet table.
This made the whole situation even crazier, Apollo and Heimdall's eyes is shinning with greed, you know, even Odin, Zeus and Cronos beg Xin and Hecate to give them one, the two God politely decline them
