The Tournament of Gods continued its relentless, glorious march. The battles among DemiGods was a spectacle of power that outshined everything that had come before it.
A new match appeared on the grand, cosmic screens, and a murmur of confusion and excitement rippled through the stands.
It was an internal match, a duel between two of God Cosmos's own creations.
Ember vs. Ignis, the Demigod of Fire.
In the arena, which had transformed into a vast, grassy plain, the two beings materialized.
Ember was a sight of pure, celestial beauty, a phoenix of medium size, her feathers a cascading waterfall of liquid fire, her every movement leaving a trail of warm, golden light.
Opposite her, Ignis was a being of raw, chaotic power. He had no fixed form, appearing as a vaguely humanoid pillar of sentient, hot fire, his "face" a constantly shifting mask of fire, his "eyes" two burning, blue-hot stars.
The live chat immediately exploded with speculation.
