"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The battlefield exploded with deafening impacts as the fight abruptly shifted from the arena to the sky.
Loki and Vali Lucifer clashed like twin meteors, streaking across the heavens. Each collision sent shockwaves rippling through the air, trailing blazing arcs of light behind them.
The intensity of the battle instantly set the crowd ablaze with excitement.
At the same time, the remaining participants watched with grave expressions. This was no longer a simple match—it was a clash of overwhelming power.
Sirzechs Lucifer observed quietly for a moment before letting out a sigh.
"…Vali has lost."
"These gods are strong. Far stronger than expected."
"With his current strength… he's no match for her."
Almost as if confirming his words—
BOOM!!
Vali was smashed straight into the ground by Loki, the impact carving a crater into the arena. His armor flickered, and his consciousness faded instantly.
The match was decided.
Loki floated down lightly, wiping sweat from her brow before letting out a relieved laugh.
"Whew! That was close!!"
"I almost lost there for a second!"
Vali was quickly carried away by the others, unconscious.
The next matches began immediately.
The gods from the DanMachi world proved to be quite formidable.
However, the DxD Devils were no pushovers either—especially Sirzechs, Izumi's brother-in-law. With overwhelming power, he managed to defeat three gods in succession, barely securing victory for his team.
Thus, the DanMachi world became the first to be eliminated.
The second match: the goddesses from KonoSuba versus the esper forces from A Certain Magical Index.
It had to be said—Eris had absurdly good luck with the draw.
Facing espers instead of stronger divine opponents gave them a massive advantage.
Even Accelerator, whose ability could reflect any vector, found himself completely ineffective against divine beings.
As a result, the KonoSuba goddesses advanced with ease.
Next came an unexpected clash:
Fate Series vs No Game No Life.
The moment the match started—
The Flügel, led by Jibril, unleashed Divine Smite simultaneously.
A single, devastating barrage covered the entire battlefield.
In an instant—
All Servants were wiped out.
Complete annihilation.
However, the cost was severe. The Flügel suffered massive backlash, their energy nearly depleted. If they couldn't recover in time, it would heavily impact their future matches.
Then came the battle between the Honkai Impact 3rd world and Izumi's team.
Izumi's side… surrendered immediately.
Megumi Katou made the call without hesitation.
"We can't win against Herrschers."
A perfectly reasonable conclusion.
Thus, the Herrschers advanced without effort.
The semifinal lineup was decided:
- DxD vs Honkai
- KonoSuba vs No Game No Life
...
The DxD vs Honkai match was brutal.
The Herrschers displayed terrifying power—especially the "Godified" Raiden Mei, who fought Sirzechs on equal footing.
With prior injuries from their earlier battle, the DxD team was at a disadvantage.
In the end—
They lost.
Though the Herrschers advanced, they too suffered heavy damage.
Meanwhile, the other match took a… bizarre turn.
The seven Flügel somehow reverted into little girls mid-battle.
Yes. Literally.
As a result, Eris and her team advanced effortlessly.
It was practically a free win.
Up to this point, the KonoSuba team hadn't suffered any real losses.
Final match:
Herrschers vs KonoSuba Goddesses.
The Herrschers were already heavily injured.
Against fresh opponents like Eris and her companions—
They stood no chance.
The goddesses, powerful in their own right, easily defeated them.
And so—
The champions were decided.
Eris and her team of goddesses stood victorious.
The entire world erupted into celebration.
Watching everything unfold, Izumi couldn't help but complain.
"Shisei, remember this."
"Next time, don't schedule matches so tightly."
"Let them recover properly before fighting again."
"And also… ban Eris from future tournaments."
"Her luck is just ridiculous."
Izumi was genuinely annoyed.
He had watched everything.
Stronger teams collapsed due to timing, injuries, or absurd coincidences—
All while Eris casually advanced by sheer luck.
"Can luck really let someone do whatever they want…?"
Izumi muttered in disbelief.
Beside him, Tina Sprout (Shisei) nodded.
"I agree. Her luck is… abnormal."
"Next time, we need better planning."
Meanwhile—
The victorious goddesses gathered together, discussing their reward.
One of them suddenly spoke:
"Eris, how about this?"
"Tell Izumi-sama… we want his child."
Silence.
Then—
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"Approved!"
"That's perfect!"
"Yes, Eris, please!"
"The child of the World's Master must be ours!"
The goddesses grew increasingly excited, even starting to discuss… positions.
Eris: "…"
A vein popped on her forehead.
"…As expected, in my world, I'm the only normal goddess."
"If people saw this side of them, they'd be completely shocked…"
After muttering her complaints, Eris sighed.
Still, she had a job to do.
"I'll go tell him."
"Please wait for my return."
With that, she flew off toward Izumi.
Behind her, the goddesses hurried to prepare—
Changing into their finest outfits, meticulously dressing themselves, eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Izumi was sitting alone on a tree branch when Eris found him.
He glanced at her.
"Eris. Have you decided on your reward?"
She nodded, taking a deep breath.
Then, with a serious expression, she said—
"Izumi-sama, I want your child."
"…."
The moment the words left her mouth—
She froze.
"…No, wait!!"
"That's not what I meant—"
But Izumi didn't let her finish.
Instead, he nodded thoughtfully.
"I see. So that's what you want, Eris."
"That's easy."
Snap.
With a flick of his fingers—
The space around them distorted.
Eris was instantly pulled into a mysterious dimension.
"Wait—!!"
"No, not me!!"
"Hold on a second!!"
"Izumi-sama—!!"
