This statement ultimately further destabilized the already divided minds of the gods.
Vulcan remained silent, while Eros clutched his head, deeply grieving.
In their dilemma, the goddess of the hunt and the god of light involuntarily looked up in the direction of Zeus.
It seemed that I was driven by an irresistible urge to go over there.
Finally, the first god took his first steps.
That's Cupid.
Ares's death fueled her deep resentment towards Victor.
If given the chance, she would have wanted to be the first god to leave Victor's camp.
As this alluring Cupid, half-naked and exuding a melancholic aura, slowly drifted by, countless eyes in the audience widened in astonishment.
They practically wanted to gouge their eyes out and stick them to her body.
Some inappropriate thoughts even flashed through my mind.
If I could spend a night with this goddess...
They themselves don't understand why, at this critical moment of human crisis...
Their thoughts might suddenly drift to such disrespectful things.
Meanwhile.
When Cupid sided with humanity, she felt her divine power slowly returning.
The original sadness and pain gradually lessened as divinity was restored.
It was as if, once again, she felt the faith of humankind.
She looked up and glanced around at the audience.
Both men and women cast fervent gazes upon her, as if they wished they could tear her apart and devour her alive.
At that moment, Cupid suddenly understood.
She unconsciously regained her previous pride, straightened her back, and held her ample bosom even higher.
With arms crossed in front of his chest, he deliberately accentuated his physical features.
At that moment, she felt the gazes around her grow even more intense, and the divinity within her awakened even more.
The second deity to leave was ultimately decided between the equally conflicted goddess of the hunt and the god of light.
Upon seeing the actions of the God of Love, the God of Light broke free from his dilemma and decisively sided with humanity.
Similarly, upon seeing the God of Light leave, the Goddess of the Hunt immediately made a decision and stopped her hesitation.
Standing silently in place, he watched the departing God of Light with disdain.
After a long while, on Victor's side, only the two gods left.
The remaining three gods stayed with Victor.
This scene made Zeus in the sky raise an eyebrow, sensing that something was amiss.
He lowered his head and addressed the three motionless gods, questioning them:
"Artemis".
Why don't you come over?
Upon hearing this, Artemis raised her head and rolled her eyes at Zeus in displeasure.
Then he stretched out his hand, pointed to the god of light who was following him like a sycophant, and asked Zeus in return:
"Can you make Apollo get out of here?"
"What?"
Zeus paused for a moment, then frowned and asked:
"Whether he stays or leaves is his own choice, and I cannot interfere."
"Whether I stay or leave is my own business, what's it to you?"
Artemis's defiant attitude puzzled Zeus, who then asked:
"Why?"
"There's no reason why, I just hate that guy."
Artemis shrugged and spread her hands.
"I'd be overjoyed if that damn copper guy stayed away from me."
Upon hearing this, Apollo's face flushed red, and he was about to unleash a torrent of abuse:
"What do you mean...?"
Whoosh!
Before he could finish speaking, a pale green arrow suddenly streaked across the air, grazing Apollo's handsome, flawless face and shortening the ends of his golden hair.
"What's wrong with me? You shameless, indiscriminate bastard."
When Apollo saw Artemis draw her bow and aim again, he quickly shut his mouth, gave an awkward twitch of his lips, and remained silent.
The audience was filled with questions upon seeing this scene.
What, what happened now?
Everything was fine before, wasn't it? The gods have already decided to turn against us all.
Why did they suddenly start fighting again?
And what exactly did they say to each other?
Because of certain divine communication that can only be heard by the gods, the audience naturally cannot hear these conversations.
In their view, all they saw was the goddess of the hunt shooting an arrow at Victor immediately after the god of light left him.
That expression was filled with deep disdain and contempt.
It's like...
With disdain and contempt for the traitor.
In the end, even Zeus gave up on persuading Artemis to return.
Mutual disdain and hatred among gods are common, and their relationships are far more complex than those of humans.
For example, Artemis said that she wanted to remain a chaste maiden for life.
She naturally looked down on Apollo and Cupid, gods of promiscuity.
Similarly, Zeus did not inquire into why Vulcan did not leave.
Because he knew all too well that even if he asked, this usually taciturn man would likely only give the same answer as Artemis.
That leaves only Athena.
Zeus's gaze finally shifted from the gods to Victor on the ground.
To be precise, it fell on Athena, who followed closely behind.
He hoped Athena would return, for this goddess possessed incredible power.
She also possessed wisdom that surpassed that of other gods, even inspiring awe in him.
With her joining the human camp, the chances of victory will undoubtedly increase significantly.
However, before he could ask Athena for the reason, she spoke first:
