Rochelle of Gluttony

"What did you say?" veins bulged around his temple, neck, and wrist. That's all the sign of a person in agitation. It is even evident on Battros, who lived his life with killing twice a month inside Heavenly Dungeon.

A mace with four blades on the head is swung on Aiolos.

"Stop!" the voice of an angelic individual prevented them from fighting. Tetros come as fast as she could, the moment a crest holder of hers told her what happened.

"Battros, please stop disturbing Aiolos." Tetros' angered gaze stares sharply at Battros, warning him the consequences that will befall him if he continues.

But instead of feeling warned, Battros gaze stays at her chest. Although Tetros' chest is beautifully covered with the modest robe, it failed to prevent ogling from Battros, who's eyes are sharper than an eagle's.

Aiolos' spear stabs through the empty air, blocking Battros' view.

The Battle God turned his gaze at Aiolos as he continued with his swing once more. Two weapons clashed, and sparks brighten the already illuminated afternoon.

"Aiolos!" she whispered. Tetros wanted to shout his name, but afraid that she'll become a distraction. Since there's no rule about gods are not allowed to fight within the Sanctuary, they continued.

To the bored god and goddess in the Southern Tianyuan Sanctuary, things like what happened now are their only entertainment.

The buildings and Sanctuaries surrounding them vanishes, leaving only the gods and spectators. Those that weren't disturbed by their first exchange are excluded from the spectator's list.

"Look! Even the Ancient God supports my justification! You're doomed, Aiolos of Craft!" the mace continued making its way to Aiolos, only to met with a similar fate as before.

"Tang!" the two weapons bounced backward along with the user. The exchange between the two gods is not to be underestimated. While up above the sky of the Southern Sanctuary, five ancient gods converse with one another, using the body projected by their Godhood Power.

"Southern, let's share their status boards." the projection from the north suggested. Compared to the Southern Tianyuan Sanctuary, the Northern Tianyuan Sanctuary is an even aggressive place to live.

The gods that lived there went through incidents like right now more than once per day. Once in a while, it was severe to the point they'll bet on their life within the Heavenly Dungeon. A battle to the death could only be conducted within the dungeon, as that's where the god lost their immortality temporarily.

Southern waved his hand upwards, and two status panels hovered in between them.

In terms of total status, both of them are at 1,040 points. But they're compared individually, Battros is better than Aiolos in physical, but weaker in Magic and Godhood Power.

And in terms of the godly gear, Aiolos' Hexaltheim provides supports, but Battros' Pairing Quadruple is a tool for slaughter. There's Break Defense on an opponent, Empowering strengthen himself, Treatment brings him back to his feet after injuries, and the Extend Blade enhances his reach.

"Aiolos! I'll bring you to your knees within three blows!" an orange light surrounds Battros, beefing him up before he strikes. That's what Empowering does.

The Hexaltheim shields Aiolos immediately with Protection.

A mace with four blades struck Aiolos' spear. This was his first time losing a weapon blessed by his own grace, Weapon's Invulnerability. Battros Break Weapon's ability is indeed the bane of a weaponsmith.

"Don't rush... I've yet to use this! Remove Armor! Higher Force!" Battros' ability is all used on Aiolos, thoroughly removing his Hexaltheim. With only a white robe protecting Aiolos, a blow from his mace is all he needs to defeat this god.

"Repair! Armor Portal, Weapons Portal," Aiolos turned both palms upward, releasing over a thousand gears to protect him. The combined Shield and Weapon retaliates and blocks Battros' blow.

"Extend Blade!" the four blades from Battros' mace extends a meter long, almost reaching Aiolos in his defense. And the closer his attack gets to Aiolos, the happier he gets.

"Looks like the Battle God is winning..." Eastern shuts her eyes. She felt slightly disappointed because that's all Aiolos can do. As for Northern, he gets even excited as Battros' blow gets closer to Aiolos.

"Break Defense!" Battros final attack came. A wave of Godhood Power turned into a corrosive substance and rendered the Protection and Defensive Shield useless.

With no more shields protecting him, Aiolos is bound to lose. His Hexaltheim was removed, and spear destroyed. There's nothing else possibly protecting him from Battros' winning strike.

"Repair." the fragments of a broken spear combined into a whole once more, with a hint of Enhancer added. Ten Copper Crystals within the Hexaltheim vanishes as it was used as the tribute for the enhancement.

Letters formed within his mind.

[The effect "Repel" is enhanced into the Golden Spear once]

"Ding!" Battros' mace struck Aiolos' spear. The result is a god getting swept away more than a hundred meters.

"WHAT?" the spectator's jaw dropped from that sudden change. Even the five Ancient Gods watching above the city had their eyes almost popped out.

"Hexaltheim, come back." Aiolos calmly made a pulling gesture, which made the wandering Hexaltheim returned to him once more. Ten more Copper Crystals is paid as a tribute again, for a different enhancement.

[The effect "Reflect" is enhanced into the Golden Spear once]

"Aargh! That's just your dying struggle!" Battros waved his hand around the head of his Pairing Quadruple, forcing all of his Godhood Power out. Six of his seven abilities are all used in an attack against Aiolos.

"Psshh..." Aiolos controlled himself from laughing.

The tip of the golden spear touches Battros's attack. The effect of Reflect bounced them all back to Battros, thoroughly stripping him off from all abilities. Even his Pairing Quadruple cracked from his own Break Weapon ability.

"Crafting Hail," Aiolos made clapping action, which created two waves of weaponry he crafted to attack. Over a thousand weapons, including Scarlet Blood, joined the fray and attacked Battros.

Blood still flows, even if the immortality of a god is present. Battros becomes a bloody figure the moment Aiolos' attack ended. He falls unconscious from the weapon's hailstorm and felt a sour defeat.

His crest holders that came later immediately carried their god away.

The Southern Tianyuan Sanctuary returned to how it was once more after the battle ended. As a reward of entertaining the Ancient Gods, a piece of Low-Heaven Iron falls into Aiolos' hand.

"Lower-Tiered Craft God, Aiolos, is grateful for Southern God's kindness," Aiolos held the piece of ore on his forehead as he speaks.

"Um..." a cough vibrated from the sky, acknowledging him.

"Aiolos!" Tetros immediately came to his side, making sure there are no other wounds on him.

"I'm healthy. Don't worry," Aiolos held Tetros' hands. The two gods in love are treating everyone else as non-existent.

"I've asked the God of Law. He said we can proceed with the oath at the tenth of this month!" Tetros happily shared what she found out yesterday after they're returned to their own place.

Between them, Tetros is the one eager to get married. Most of her Crest Holders are married, and there are at least ten of them going to make their oath soon. Furthermore, listening to their blabbering about how a male and a female copulates only made Tetros getting restless.

"Then... Let's get our oath seven days later." Aiolos agreed. The experience with Battros made him understand that time wait for nobody, even to the gods. If he keeps delaying their marriage, there'll be a day where Tetros is taken away by another god.

Only for today, Tetros joined Aiolos to wherever he's going.

In the afternoon, everyone meets up outside of Hestius' Restaurant for a proper lunch. It was a marvelous feast with several ingredients they never tried before. They're a rarity to the point even Tetros had never seen it before.

"A Craft God and a Food God. What a great combination," the voice of a goddess came to them. The moment Hansen, Alrune, Yesha, and Pharcis noticed her, they immediately conducted their honourary greetings to her.

"We, crest holders of Craft God Aiolos, greets the Food God, Hestius." the male kneeled on a knee, and the female lowered their posture.

"At ease, crest holders. I'm here today with a request to your god." Hestius accepted their greetings and focused her gaze on Aiolos, the star for today.

"I notice a piece of Low-Heaven Ore on you. Did Southern gave it to you?" Hestius asked.

"Yes," Aiolos answered. He's shocked that Hestius could feel the ore even while it is inside the Item Space.

"That's great. I'd like you to make a blade for my crest holder. Would you accept this request?" Hestius said. With a clap of her hand, a crest holder of hers came into the room, fully equipped.

"Is that???" Aiolos' boy and girls are shocked to the point an egg can fit into their mouths.

"Rochelle Yifan greets the Craft God, Aiolos, and Food God, Tetros," the so-called top-tiered crest holder with Synthesia ability, smiled.
