Chapter 1327 Cap 1325: Third stage part 1
?Pov Rosane's:
Hey, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, I heard from my mother that they would use Creatures from the Abyss in this tournament, but I didn't think they would use so many, especially with their base strength being so high to the point of facing several Demigods, I can even feel some gaining intelligence showing that they are close to becoming Lords of the Abyss.
As if that wasn't enough, that boy still managed to gather hordes of enemies around him, including some of these almost Lords of the Abyss.
His Divine Incarnation is strong, but clearly, he doesn't know how to use his Essence fully or he's avoiding using it for now, I hope it's the second option or he won't have enough strength to advance to the next stage of the tournament.
That's when I saw something in the distance and left my place in the stands opening a portal to the place I saw only to run into Elizabeth who seemed to be waiting for me.
I was full of hatred and no patience to face someone so arrogant at that moment, even though I was an old friend.
"What are you doing?"?(I)
"Stopping a friend from making a mistake."?(Elizabeth)
"Elizabeth, even if I'm you, I'll tear her body into pieces if I have to advance."?(I)
"Rosane, this is not the time for that, going through me won't take you to him, it will take you to a meeting with your mother and many restrictions sealing your body."?(Elizabeth)
"You know something, I can see it in your eyes...what is he doing here!?"?(I)
"I'm not sure about him, honestly I'm just as surprised as you, and I had to use a Divine Item to get to you so quickly, but I think everything in this tournament is pretty obvious."?(Elizabeth)
"Don't play your games with me, I'm not one of your sisters and I've known you for a long time, you can't fool me, so talk..." (I)
"I warned you..." (Elizabeth)
Sigh
Before I could say anything else I was pulled into a Divine Realm with Elizabeth sighing and disappearing from my sight, it seems that a God noticed what I did, and just as she said it intervened.
"(Now that I know where he is, I won't let him escape, even if I have to wait for the tournament to end...)" (I)

Pov Zenos:
When I came back from the end of the second stage it was over and I still came across a sad Natasha, she seemed to be looking for me throughout the second stage to have more chances to fight, she at least said that she found another Demigod to fight against her.
This time the rules were more extreme, the longer a fight lasts the worse it will be for the winner who will be in worse condition in the next fight this basically forces us to end our fight quickly.
"< Ruling Territory >"
"< Ruling Territory >" (I)
In a fight against a Deity, the most important thing is to isolate him, the Territory of a Deity has his Essence passively, strengthening him much more than normal, it was something I learned in my training, being inside the Territory of an enemy Deity is be at an extreme environmental disadvantage.
"< Chaos Star Garden >" (I)
"< Sin City >"
Our two Territories collide, each taking up half the arena before blending together, largely negating each other's effects.
"< Blood Eclipse Poison >" (I)
I saw him move as the landscape around us was in complete continuous change and I used my poison, using my Starfire to evaporate the blood from my body turned into poison into the surroundings, a young red miasma spreading in all directions.
"< Sin of Gluttony >"
To my surprise he stopped halfway opening his mouth where a strong suction took all my poison for him to swallow, I stopped creating the red mist and tried to control the blood particles he ingested, but I couldn't, it was as if there was nothing left of what he had just eaten.
"(I can't take any longer.)" (I)
I completely transform into a Dragon as I move towards him, I accepted that with this he wouldn't be able to dodge, but instead, he smiled at me.
"< Sin of Envy >"
Suddenly his body transforms into the exact same shape as mine, but his eyes were completely red while an Aura full of murderous intent exploded from his body.
At that moment she insisted on it being a short-range fight, our physical strength was equal in this state and that's why I didn't understand his decision until I felt the Demonic Energy in my wounds, it was so little that I didn't notice it at first, this energy was permeated with power from his Authority and possibly his Essence as well, but I just smiled letting him think he was achieving something.
"< Sin of Greed >"
"< Avatar of Chaos >" (I)
Just as I expected, he was accumulating Demonic Energy inside me and when he reached a certain point he pushed me away with a powerful blow from his tail while two wings pushed back further away.
When he used his power and I felt the Demonic Energy inside me react, I could feel this enemy energy trying to drag my power from inside me, I could feel my Divine Weapons wanting to react, but I didn't allow it as it would reveal Niryna still sleeping inside the my Blood Core.
In fact, I was already prepared for this, my Starfire has the highest concentration of my Chaos Essence and I used these flames to consume the Demonic energy before making my blood that I spread through the wounds I made on the enemy explode his heart, a creature made of Blood and Starfire surging inside his body devouring him from the inside as he grew with each bite until there was nothing left but a large Leech where my opponent once was.
"[Zenos is the winner of arena number 6!]" (Malakoi)
