BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, across the globe, every single major country suffered a catastrophic explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entire cities were reduced to rubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earthquakes followed the shockwaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smoke painted the skies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panic turned into terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"OH MY GOD.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell just happened?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Creators] stood motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was simply a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Consider that... a glimpse.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[That's what will happen if the wrong pairs survive.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't elaborate who the \"wrong\" pairs were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that it would've mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The message had been delivered loud and clear, the Chosen Games were real, and the consequences were catastrophic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the screen shifted again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[We'll now leave you to wait.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Watch, pray, scream, do whatever you want.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The outcome will arrive soon enough.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that, the five figures disappeared, leaving behind only one line of text on the glowing panels:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wait… and you will see whether you are saved or doomed.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the isolated room, Alex had seen everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The screens surrounding him had played the same footage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Multiple panels hovered before him, including a few that showed glimpses of Earth during the explosions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the cities reduced to craters, the skies dark with smoke, and the helpless panic of millions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, Alex felt… calm. It surprised him, actually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Part of him had expected to feel rage or fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't. Not now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was the [God of Determination] within him, or maybe it was the passive effects of his [Eyes of Cursed Void], both of which kept him grounded in moments of overwhelming pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, it didn't make the destruction easier to digest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Kaelios, who had remained quiet during the broadcast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [God of Destiny] stood near the other bed, arms folded, expression unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what now,\" Kaelios finally asked, exhaling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now,\" Alex sat down slowly, his hand running over the bed frame, where his name was carved into the headboard, \"Now we wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can't use our powers here either,\" Kaelios said, \"Anytime I try to activate a skill, this pops up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He showed Alex a panel that hovered before him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You are not allowed to do that.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. I got the same one,\" Alex replied, \"They want us powerless until the games start.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both grew quiet again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a feeling it's going to be bad,\" Alex muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course it is,\" Kaelios responded with a dry laugh, \"It's the final event, it's designed to kill us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're probably going to die, aren't we,\" Alex said, voice flat, a bitter smile tugging at his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaelios didn't sugarcoat anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. We probably will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, neither said anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silence between them wasn't uncomfortable, it was heavy, grounded in shared understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were both gods now.
