The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　A person who falls represents someone forced to face reality and leave their original "high place," which could be in terms of material, spiritual, or rights.

　The correct interpretation of "Tower" is dramatic change and destruction, awakening and liberation, warning and enlightenment.

　When it comes to the "Path to Godhood for Magic Masters," its meaning becomes even clearer. Undoubtedly, it foreshadows the unimaginable difficulties, even near-destructive blows, that he will encounter on his path to godhood for magic masters.

　Sudden and unpredictable drastic changes can cause people to collapse. No matter how proud humans are, they cannot compare with the power of "nature". Challenging "nature" will only invite the wrath of the gods.

　This is a failed prophecy, a dangerous warning.

　If this prediction was not made arbitrarily, it may mean more than just an ordinary failure.

　This was a warning to him that when he challenged the God of Magic, there was a high possibility that an unexpected and uncontrollable "lightning" would strike him.

　—That "lightning" could only be the demon of the Seven Deadly Sins.

　In other words.

　His plan to become the God of Magic first and then deal with the Demon God's Blood is likely a mistake and will inevitably fail.

　If the "lightning" cannot be eliminated, only "destruction" awaits him.

　But he must face it, not run away from it.

　Before challenging the path of magic, the variable of "lightning" must be eliminated!

　Although the symbolism of "tower" is not good.

　But the upright "Tower" at least signifies a glimmer of hope. It represents finding life amidst destruction, moving from death to life, awakening and being reborn. He must be vigilant.

　Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was 11 p.m. The twelve gods had different arrangements for their respective factions. Some venues were still bustling with activity, while others had already quieted down.

　The gods arranged accommodations at the edge of the Sky Garden. If any participants felt tired, they could choose a time to go to their accommodations to rest according to their respective factions' arrangements, and there was no rule that required them to stay up all night.

　Since Aphrodite and Apollo made no further plans, Dark, Pandora, and the others could naturally choose to leave.

　Instead of going to his residence to rest with Pandora, Dark met up with the maids from the adjacent venue after leaving the venue, and then headed towards Ares's venue.

　They walked around the "circle" and soon arrived at the outer perimeter of the arena of Ares, the "God of War".

　In Ares's arena, a "martial arts tournament" is underway. No magic cards, spells, or combat techniques are used; victory is determined solely by the weapons and skills at hand.

　To ensure "fairness," Ares even set up rules and restrictions in the venue, limiting the power of all participants to a standard value.

　Participants, on the same power level and using weapons of the same quality, duel on the arena.

　The rules of the duel are simple: the winner advances and the loser is eliminated, and you advance round by round.

　When Dark and his group arrived outside the venue, they saw "Hero of the Gun" Ryan Hax dueling with "Valkyrie" Arvit Saint-Demon.

　Both were skilled gun users, and Professor Ryan Hawkes had recently honed his skills in the Tower of Battle, making him even more proficient in combat than during the war.

　His ability to win all the way in tonight's martial arts tournament is proof of his formidable strength.

　Unfortunately for him, his opponent was the battle-hardened "Valkyrie".

Chapter 1673 Darkdemon and Athena's Divination (3/3)

　Dark happened to see the scene of Arvit defeating Professor Ryan Hawkes, and couldn't help but raise his hand to applaud. Then Professor Hawkes noticed and attacked him with a "glare".

　He chuckled and pretended not to be seen.

　With Professor Ryan Hex defeated, Ares, the "God of War," personally stepped into the ring and declared Alvitt the victor.

　This duel was actually the final duel of the martial arts tournament! A calm smile appeared on Arvit's face. Her gaze quickly shifted to Dark's face, and she immediately put on a smug expression that said, "So what? Your mother is still your mother."

　Dark touched his face and suddenly felt that she was quite suitable for Ares's camp...

　"I wonder what the final prize for this martial arts tournament will be."

　As Dark was thinking this, he suddenly saw Ares, after announcing Alvitt's victory, pull a long spear from the weapon rack outside the ring and then walk back into the ring.

　Meanwhile, Arvit had already arrived on the other side of the ring, her expression composed and her concentration complete.

　—The prize for the champion of this martial arts tournament is actually an opportunity to challenge the "God of War" Ares!

　The moment he realized this, Dark's breathing became heavy.

　"Valkyrie" VS "God of War"!

　Although both sides' strengths were limited to a single level by the arena rules, the "God of War" was not merely a product of divine power. He possessed an instinctive fervor for war, not only actively instigating conflicts and riots but also personally joining the battle.

　Chi's combat skills were honed through countless life-or-death battles, not just theoretical knowledge.

　Theoretically speaking, the probability of Alvitt defeating Ares is low. Even if Ares didn't have a sufficient "warm-up" after waking from his slumber.

　Ares's combat skills were unparalleled, even enough to elevate him to godhood.

　Although Alvitt had reached the pinnacle of human power, she ultimately failed to become the "God of War".

　However, the process of fighting is a process of honing one's skills.

　If one dares not challenge higher goals, how can one make one's weapons sharper?

　Arvit was very excited; she even felt the joy of weaving during the duel.

　She wants to use Ares, the "God of War," as a whetstone to sharpen her blade!

　"Qiang!"

　The moment the spear tips clashed, everyone gathered there held their breath, their eyes fixed on the ring, unwilling to look away for even a second. Dark was the same way, but at a certain moment he suddenly felt someone else beside him.

　He turned his head and saw that the girl Athena disguised as was was standing right next to him watching the battle.

　"You promised to kidnap someone, and this is how you kidnap them?"

　Dark was speechless and could only pretend she didn't exist, continuing to watch the clash between Alvit and Ares.

　He wanted to memorize every detail of this duel so that he could study and analyze it later.

　The entire battle lasted about five minutes, and Ares ultimately prevailed due to his superior skill.

　Ares appeared calm, as if his victory was a given. But the slight trembling of his fingers betrayed his underlying unease.

　I almost made a fool of myself!

　However, despite the unrest, Ares did not develop a dislike for Alvite because of it; on the contrary, he felt a sense of excitement, as if he had found a prey.

　However, after today, Chi will no longer be able to duel with this "Warrior Goddess" of the mortal realm while his hands and feet are tied.

　Otherwise, if one were to lose by accident, wouldn't that be a huge loss of face?

　On the other side, although Alvette looked slightly annoyed, she quickly calmed down.

　She even raised her spear again and began to review the battle on the spot, absorbing the experience from the fight at an unimaginable speed.

　As the spear in her hand danced rapidly, a mysterious aura emanated from it, causing the "divine essence" that was everywhere in the Heavenly Court to gather around as if it were free.

　Suddenly, a storm arose, and divine power surged; she gave the impression that she was about to become a god on the spot.

　Ares frowned slightly, then immediately waved his hand, dispelling the charm on the spot.

　With her current abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for Alvitt to trigger the opportunity to become a god in the Heavenly Court, which has only recently been restarted and has a rather unique environment.

　But what she wants to become is not the "God of War" or the "God of Martial Arts", but the "God of Magic".

　Ares has decided to bet on Arvit, becoming her top investor.

　In Chi's view, it was practically a foregone conclusion that Alvitt would become the God of Magic.

　Even if she were to lose the duel for the first time to become a god, it would not prevent her from becoming a god later on.

　This world isn't just about the first god to become a mage; there are other gods who can reach the pinnacle.

　As a god who has lived for countless years, Ares's experiences have all been telling Chi that there is a limit to what gods can achieve.

　The twelve celestial gods represent the "upper limit".

　With Chi's personal guidance, Aylvit will eventually reach her "upper limit," so it doesn't matter which one she becomes a god at.

　Chi could sense Alvitt's purity, and he desperately wanted to have such an opponent.

　Instead of being an opponent like Athena, who, despite being a "goddess of war," only knew how to cause trouble.

　The time after becoming a god is long.

　For a god, cultivating a good opponent is a very interesting way to pass the time.

　of course.

　Once the Magical Divine Path is completed, all twelve gods will have the opportunity to break through their current "upper limit".

　The "God of War" remains undefeated!

　"If you're slow on one step, you'll be slow on every step. It seems impossible to snatch the Valkyrie from that big oaf."

　Seeing this, Athena turned and left without a second thought, disappearing quickly.

　Dak glanced around and continued to ponder.

　Having witnessed the entire duel between the "Valkyrie" and the "God of War," he suddenly gained some insights, and some previously unresolved issues were resolved, which was an unexpected surprise.

　Of course, with his combat skills, wanting to compete with the "Valkyrie" is pure wishful thinking.

　He won't make that his goal. That's not the path he wants to take.

　The camp of Ares, the "God of War," is filled with a martial spirit. While waiting, Dark met Jeanne d'Arc, the "Saintess of the Battlefield," and also greeted Emily, Albert, and others.

　He waited until Alvitt's epiphany ended before joining her and continuing to gather the maids present. Finally, at exactly twelve o'clock, everyone was assembled.

　The reason it was exactly 12 o'clock was because Artemis, the "Goddess of the Hunt," didn't release the people until exactly 12 o'clock!

　Claire Kate emerged from the venue with a group of maids, becoming the final piece of the puzzle for this nighttime gathering.

　The gathering in the heavens could not be kept secret from the twelve celestial beings. Therefore, they never intended to hide it from them.

　There's no ulterior motive behind tonight's gathering; it's simply a chance to get together and exchange information.

　Of course, this is limited to the information exchange at tonight's tea party.

　“Aphrodite invited me to become a ‘Chosen One,’ and I accepted.” Janice of the Pisces Palace was the first to speak.

　Her expression was unusually serious, appearing very earnest. "Good news."

　Arvit smiled at her and summed up her decision in two words.

　Janice's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down completely, and a smile spread across her face.

　All the maids present offered their blessings.

　To become one of the "chosen ones" of the twelve gods means to ascend to godhood in one step, and how could they not bestow blessings upon them?

　The Duke's mansion did so much work before the twelve gods awakened, wasn't it all to get closer to the gods and gain some ability to retaliate when threatened by them?

　Now that the head maid of the "Pisces Palace" has a path to godhood, there is absolutely no conflict between this and the Duke's mansion's guiding principles.

　Janice then went on to explain the responsibilities and obligations she had to fulfill as Aphrodite's "chosen one".

　The result was almost identical to that of Apollo's "chosen ones," who had no duties other than guarding the temple.

　If we had to find another reason to impeach, it would probably be the requirement of "maintaining a good image."

　Although it's not yet confirmed, once it is, Janice can no longer be as lazy as she was when she was unemployed. She must maintain the image of Aphrodite, the "chosen one," and always keep her exquisite makeup and elegant manners, remaining a beautiful woman forever.

　Of course, she could no longer fish. But that was the price she had to pay. Being a lady and fishing are not synonymous. However, Janice had a wealth of experience in catching fish without actually fishing.

　She believed that once she was familiar with her identity, she would be able to find a way to "win the best of both worlds".

　Following Janice, Aurelia spoke up without hesitation, "Apollo, the 'God of Light,' has also extended an invitation to me to become his 'Chosen One,' and I'm still considering it."

　"Apollo," Alvitt looked at Ollie and asked, "What are the requirements for the robe?"

　Aure shook her head and said, "Aside from needing to guard the temple for a period of time before the magic path is forged, there are no other requirements. And after completing this duty, you will be free."

　Arvit was somewhat surprised: "So, if things go quickly, you can be free in three years. And just those three years of work can be exchanged for a chance to become a god?"

　Ollie thought for a moment and nodded, "That should be the case."

　No sooner had she finished speaking than Janice, who had just been smiling sweetly, gaped open: "You can do that?"

　Although Aphrodite also slacked off, she did have requirements for her "chosen one." Moreover, she had absolutely no intention of letting her go after the mission was over.

　As the "Chosen One," she is required to guard the temple as Aphrodite commands, accepting challenges from various mages.

　Even after the creation of the Magic Path, as long as the "God's Grail" continues, she will continue to work, unless another "Chosen One" takes over her duties.

　This seemed to mean that Aphrodite hadn't laid the groundwork completely! Janice's gaze shifted, and other thoughts began to surface.
