『Heimdall』: "The tyrant of the seas, the most terrifying of gods!"
『Heimdall』: "The one even gods themselves fear—the most dreadful of them all!"
『Heimdall』: "Second son among the three strongest brothers of the heavens, known as the Zeus of the Seas."
『Heimdall』: "His name is—Poseidon!"
With Heimdall's announcement, a figure slowly walked onto the arena.
The man had a head of golden hair, his attire lavish and regal.
In his hand, he carried a trident. His expression was utterly cold.
He cast his gaze across the coliseum, then spoke with disdain:
『Poseidon』: "A bunch of trash."
From the stands, Loki curled his lips.
『Loki』: "Oh, wonderful. Someone even less fun than Uncle."
Odin glanced sideways at him but said nothing.
In the audience, the lesser gods fell completely silent upon Poseidon's appearance.
Not a single one dared to speak.
The human spectators on the arena floor noticed this at once, whispering among themselves.
『Human Spectator A』: "The gods on his side are actually afraid of him…"
『Human Spectator B』: "Poseidon… isn't he just Zeus's older brother?"
『Human Spectator C』: "But when Zeus entered earlier, the other gods weren't this terrified!"
『Human Spectator D』: "Who knows…?"
These humans, too, had heard myths and legends.
They knew the relationship between Poseidon and Zeus.
According to the stories, Zeus was the King of the Gods.
His status was unquestionably higher than Poseidon's—his strength too, naturally.
And yet, when Zeus had appeared, the gods had not reacted like this.
So why now?
Could it be that Poseidon was even stronger than Zeus?
It didn't make sense…
『Heimdall』: "Very well."
『Heimdall』: "And now, standing against the terrifying God of the Seas—"
『Heimdall』: "The reckless fool who dares challenge him."
『Heimdall』: "Ah… correction."
『Heimdall』: "The human challenger is this man!"
A spotlight swung toward the entryway.
A lone figure emerged.
Handsome face.
A skin-tight black suit.
And a wide, sweeping cape trailing behind him.
Carl.
『Heimdall』: "His flight is faster than a speeding bullet!"
『Heimdall』: "His strength surpasses a roaring train!"
『Heimdall』: "With a single bound, he can leap across towering skyscrapers!"
『Heimdall』: "The legendary hero of mankind—"
『Heimdall』: "Fighting endlessly for justice and truth—"
『Heimdall』: "He is the God among men, Carl!"
Carl raised an eyebrow at the dramatic speech.
All of this… had been written by Brünnhilde.
She'd even asked Carl for his opinion back then.
He had told her to "write whatever."
And so here it was.
Not bad, he thought. Though he had no idea how she'd come up with half those lines.
Carl looked down at the seawater before him.
Then he leapt.
His body rose into the air—
And in the blink of an eye, he was floating above the arena platform.
!!
Heimdall froze for a heartbeat before shouting in shock:
『Heimdall』: "My gods!"
『Heimdall』: "What did I just witness?!"
『Heimdall』: "This human is flying!"
『Heimdall』: "Truly, he lives up to the title of God Among Men!"
The human spectators cried out as well.
『Human Spectator A』: "He… he can fly?!"
『Human Spectator B』: "And so fast—I couldn't even see him move!"
『Human Spectator C』: "Is he even human?"
『Human Spectator D』: "Of course, he's fighting for humanity!"
『Human Spectator E』: "He looks incredible!"
『Human Spectator F』: "So strong… and so handsome!"
『Human Spectator G』: "Carl-sama!"
『Human Spectator H』: "We can win this! Go for the three-win streak!"
From the stands, Göll's eyes lit up at the cheers.
She tugged at her elder sister's sleeve, unable to contain her excitement.
『Göll』: "Sister, listen! Everyone's cheering for Carl!"
『Brünnhilde』: "Of course." (smiling) "After all, he's the one I invited to fight."
『Xiaoming』: (nodding) "Indeed. This is Carl, after all."
[Chat Group]
『Little Sister With Chūnibyō』: "Carl is the first to enter?!"
『Little Sister With Chūnibyō』: "I thought he wouldn't appear until much later!"
『Princess of the Senju』: "I agree. I expected him in at least two or three more rounds."
『Commander of the Great Wall Garrison』: "Carl-dono is on the stage! With his strength, the fight will be over quickly."
『Shirley』: "I think so too."
『Pink-Haired Vessel』: "Naturally. He is Carl-sama!"
『Heavenly Blade King』: "Carl-sama, you can do it!"
『Hot-Blooded Spider』: "Go Carl!!"
『Commander of the Great Wall Garrison』: "After watching two fights, I feel like I could get in there myself."
『Commander of the Great Wall Garrison』: "Of course, winning is another matter."
『Commander of the Great Wall Garrison』: "Against Zeus, probably not. But against others—I could manage."
『Pink-Haired Vessel』: "Then you should take missions too, Uncle Su Lie! You can earn points."
『Commander of the Great Wall Garrison』: "No… I don't have any overwhelming trump cards. I'd probably lose in the end."
『Commander of the Great Wall Garrison』: "Besides, the roster is already set."
『Pink-Haired Vessel』: "Fair enough."
When they were resting earlier, Brünnhilde had kept the livestream turned off.
Now that she had reopened it, the chat group was buzzing with excitement at Carl's entrance.
On the gods' side, Carl's display left even the high-ranking deities astonished.
『God A』: "What's happening?! That man can fly?!"
『God B』: "No—more important—how did he reach the arena so fast?"
『God C』: "Did he fly? Or run?!"
『God D』: "I couldn't see a thing!"
Even the strongest gods were shaken.
Ares pointed directly at Carl, face full of disbelief.
『Ares』: "How did he do that?! I couldn't even follow his movement!"
Hermes, too, wore a surprised look.
『Hermes』: "Unbelievable…"
Shiva raised a brow, clearly intrigued.
And Loki's lips curled into a mischievous grin.
『Loki』: "Heh… So that's how it is."
『Loki』: "It seems humanity hides quite a few interesting figures."
Inside the arena, Heimdall lifted his voice once more.
『Heimdall』: "Round Three!"
『Heimdall』: "Gods' representative—Poseidon!"
『Heimdall』: "Humanity's representative—Carl!"
『Heimdall』: "Let the battle begin!"
With that, Heimdall hurriedly retreated—terrified of being caught in the crossfire.
But even after his departure, Carl and Poseidon made no move.
The two simply stood there.
Carl raised a brow.
『Carl』: "What's wrong? You're not going to attack?"
Poseidon gave a dismissive chuckle.
『Poseidon』: "Heh."
His face remained expressionless, as if he were staring at a pitiful insect.
He didn't even bother to respond with words.
Yes, Carl's entrance had been unusual.
But that proved nothing.
For Poseidon, a god, the idea of losing to a human was laughable.
And yet
Without warning, a figure appeared before him.
!!!
Poseidon had no time to react.
Just as he prepared to move
A massive hand reached out toward him.
