It was not only the gods that are watching the match between Pantheon Guild and the Fallen Knights Guild. All of the world are also watching with some people even livestreaming it. The ones that have rights to livestream are people that the Fallen Knights guild contracted with which means the point of view is from their side.
All the players thought that the Pantheon Guild will not livestream their side because they usually kept to themselves. The only one that they thought would have a livestream will be Creepysoo as he was a representative for his country and would naturally get sponsorships for it. To the viewers' surprise, Creepysoo did not have a livestream set up, but the Pantheon guild set up an observer orb which means they are streaming live.
All the forums are suddenly blasted with questions of where the Pantheon Guild is streaming their side. It was only until a player from Adrian's home country commented that they are streaming in a local broadcasting station channel. He even put up that the stream already ranked number one on the watching list.
There were even some clips of the Pantheon guild fumbling on how to stream which garnered attention for how cute they acted. When the people learned of the channel where the Pantheon guild was streaming, a lot of traffic suddenly flooded the site of the station. It was not only traffic but also offers from other station from around the world to co-stream the live feed so that the site will not crash.
The betting sites are also full of people as they cast their vote on who would win each round. There are five winners as there are five betting categories. One winner for each round, the overall winner, and the player with the most kills are the categories. Needless to say, some people will go to sleep crying or happy.

"Fighters! Send in your first group!" The God Ares announced in his mighty voice which made the arena shake a little.
The first to stand up were the twenty representatives of the Fallen Knights guild. Each team must decide the order immediately before the start of the match to make it fair. The mediators were the ones that accepted the fight order and the mediator for Pantheon is actually shocked with what it got. Needless to say, the mediator cannot offer advice to the fighters as that would be favoring another group.
For the first round, the Fallen Knights guild's order of competition are twenty players with five of them being guild officials. They wanted to reduce the number of cooldowns and resources that they will use if possible. They fielded at least five guild officials to make sure that they still have a solid chance to win should the opposing guild uses all their numbers.
For the second round, they decided to field all fifty of them because they wanted to clinch the second round if the other guild wins the first. If they win the first round, then they wanted to immediately win the second round to ensure victory. If they were to lose the first round, then they believe that all of them fighting will deliver the win on the second.
For the third round, the Fallen Knights guild decided to field the thirty guild members that were not part of the first round. They believe that with these plans, they will be able to win the rounds. They even believe that they have a higher chance of winning by the second round because of their practice and dedication.
When all twenty of the players went to the arena for the first round, they were waiting for the other players on the opponent's side because there is only one of them on the field. The only one on the other side of the arena is actually Adrian whose regal kingly outfit morphed to a battle performance one. Adrian could be seen being the only one on the other side of the arena which baffled the Fallen Knights guild.
"Are both sides ready?" The mediator asked but Mord, who is commanding the Fallen Knights for the first round, suddenly asked the former a question.
"Is he the only representative of the opposing side?" Mord asked the mediator.
"Yes. If there are no other questions, then I shall proceed to start the match. The gods and goddesses are waiting for a good show after all. There are none? Then let the match begin!" The mediator stated as it shouted the last sentence to signify the start of the match.
When Mord and the other Fallen Knights guild saw that only Adrian was present on the other side of the arena, they became infuriated because they took it as the Pantheon guild looking down on them. Adrian could feel the resentment of the other party, but he does not know why. Even if all of them go against him, he will not know because they presented the roster before all matches started.
"You dare look down on us! Everyone! Kill him immediately. No! Play with him until he gets humiliated!" Mord shouted as he could not take being looked down upon especially the guild the devoted his life to.
Adrian did not know why they are mad, but he did not care as he summoned Charon, Dodu and Saena. He is immediately surrounded by his soulbounds while the other team circled him to reduce his movement. Adrian's soulbounds did not attack because they were summoned to defend him.
"Asmodian Prowess." Adrian muttered which suddenly made all the Fallen Knights guild members flinch and stop their attempt to attack.
As soon as Adrian muttered those words, a throne suddenly materialized out of nowhere behind him. All the beings present there could feel something within them telling them to bow before the one seated on the throne. Adrian sat down on the throne as the sky and the surroundings turned into a mix of bright blue and dark purple.
