Apollo's ba, which began as a war between three families ahem to this meeting, where all the deities wao withe events, now transformed into a divine arena of intrigues awaiting the decision of the Hestia Family in the face of the challenge posed by Lucius, one of her sons.

  The gods, seated on their celestial thrones, watched with i as Hestia stood at one end of the table in the middle of the pce, with Hermes as the mediator and Apollo and Heimdall side by side oher side of the table—all these gods stared at each other.

  Hestia, a humble representative among the gods, raised her voice with determination. "t the challehat my son has thrown down; I am here to proceed with the events.""OHHHH! She accepted!""Incredible, Hestia against Heimdall and Apollo at the same time, how ceous!"The voices of the gods echoed through the majestic hall, expressing surprise aement at Hestia's brave decision. Hermes, the mediator, looked at Apollo and Heimdall, waiting for their reas to the acceptance of the challenge.

  Apollo, the god of the Sun and Music, smiled fidently, his eyes gleaming with mischief. "Ah, Hestia, you show ce in accepting this challenge. I look forward to seeing how your family will fare against us, especially eager to fight with your son, Lucius." He said, smiling, but everyone could sehe hatred in his words, sidering Lucius had been as audacious as anyone since Apollo desded to Genkai.

  Heimdall, the guardian of the gods and lord of the sentinels, remained imposing and serious. His pierg eyes observed Hestia with an iy that revealed the seriousness of the challenge. "So be it. We will end you and take that ungrateful son of mine."

  Despite her modest positioia maintained her posture and ce in the eyes of the gods. "Former son, Heimdall, you expelled him, remember? And we are ready to move forward, whatever destiny awaits us. My family will face yours together!" Hestia raised her voice.

  "Well, sih have accepted, let's see what kind of game will be pyed," Hermes said, taking a small box and pg it oable with a hole on top."Let's see..." He said, putting his hand ihe box and pulling out a paper."Siege game!" He read the paper, and all the gods appuded excitedly."This is plicated..." Hestia murmured."HAHAHAHAHA! Hestia, it seems you won't stand a ce.""You, Apollo and Heimdall, have fallen so low, aren't you ashamed to join forces against a family of two members with hundreds of your own children? You really shame us," Freya suddenly spoke in the midst of the crowd of gods."Freya..." Hestia was surprised by this."Hm? Didn't you see what that Lucius did to me? He hit me aroyed my home!" Apollo shouted."Tsk." Heimdall didn't like the eher."But still, I think you're a disgrace too," Loki also ented."Iwo families against oh two members? I thought you were better..." Hephaestus also ented."I think they're right...""Two members of a family agaiire families like Apollo and Heimdall, it's truly shameless," Demeter ented."What a bunch of pathetic families..." Aphrodite huffed.The festive atmosphere began tainst the two gods; they were being judged by their peers and didn't like what they were hearing."What do you suggest then?!" Heimdall asked a bit displeased."Let Hestia get help from someo seems better that way," Hermes suddenly spoke."Hmm... I think it could work, but we'll defend the siege, and the family she asks for help ot be from Orario!" Apollo spoke loudly."How shameless, he made the situation worse for me..." Hestia couldn't help but ent but ultimately accepted.

  Hermes then raised his hands, signaling for the diviing to take the course of the proposed challenge. "Let the pre-eriod of the game between the families begin. May the decisions and as of all in this game reflect the greatness of the gods!"

  Now, the deities were animatedly discussing, expressing their opinions on the ce of the Hestia Family in accepting such a daring challehe majority of the gods were betting on Apollo and Heimdall, fident in the numerical superiority and martial skills of their families. Others, however, saw the challenge as a unique opportunity for the Hestia Family to prove their bravery.

  "Hestia really believes she defeat Apollo and Heimdall? This is a bold gamble," ented Dionysus, the god of wine, while sav a cup of celestial ar.Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, raised an eyebrow with i. "My faith is in Lucius aia. You'll see; the Hestia Family will surprise everyone."Olympians and ods shared their opinions on who would emerge victorious. Tension hung in the air, and eveies who normally didn't care about such disputes were curious about the turn of events."Hestia is known for her humility and dedicatioe being the virgin loli. Perhaps she has an ace up her sleeve that we don't know," suggested anoddess.

  Meanwhile, Hermes, the divine messenger, acted as a mediator and master of ceremonies, maintaining order during the heated discussions. He observed the exge of expectations among the gods, noting the bets being made and rec iing ents for divine posterity."I bet on Apollo and Heimdall!" excimed one of the divine beings, his fidence evident in his words.Freya, with a malicious smile, said, "I'll pce my bets on the Hestia Family. They might surprise, especially with this siege game."The pce was in an uproar, with the gods rooting for their favorites and anticipating the oute of the challenge as a highly surprisi for them.

  As they left the gods' meeting hall, Hestia walked out with some of her friends, talking with Takemikazuchi, Miach, and Hephaestus, who discussed the immi siege war awaiting the Hestia Family."Hestia, my dear friend. Battle is like a diviraining ground. Learn from each challenge, and your warriors will grow stronger." Takemikazuchi advised."Thank you for the advice, Takemikazuchi," she said."Hestia, don't worry. I'll be there to ensure everyone is in top form. Free potions for everyone! Nothing stop a well-cared-for Family." Miach expressed his support.Hestia chuckled gently, knowing that Miach's generosity, while admirable, could create some financial challenges for him."Just be careful, Hestia. Even though your adventurers are good, you're up against two families." Hephaestus also expressed his for his older friend."Yes, Hephaestus, my family is w to hahis challenge!"

I bet Bell el, the record-holder, is at the ter of it all," a mert said."Didn't you hear that wizard attacked Apollo's mansion?! That's why there's the war game?" someone asked."I heard that the war game was announced even before that!" another replied."What are Apollo and Heimdall thinking? Aia, is she brave or foolish?" a god pondered."Hestia really thinks she defeat Apollo and Heimdall? This will be quite a battle!"
