Chapter 54 Live Stream
Shortly after the two individuals entered the hall, every God and Goddess fell into silence, their gazes no longer focused on the floating orb in the center of the table.
Even Etia's gaze wandered away from the relic upon feeling the two divine auras entering the hall, which, shockingly, resulted in her face stiffening for a second before becoming relaxed again.
The two individuals that entered the hall were, in fact, two young figures, a young woman and a young man.
The young woman was a beauty in her own league. She had a petite figure with a long, seemingly silk smooth white hair which cascaded down behind her back, coming to an end just slightly above her slim waist
She also had a humanoid appearance with features akin to a cat, fluffy white cat ears on her head, a long white cat tail behind her back, and silver cat eyes that seemed to hold both serenity and hidden danger!
She wore a long silver dress with a cut on its right side, allowing her slim and perfect white leg to show itself to the world from time to time whenever she took a step forward.
On the other hand, beside her, the young man had a much simpler, yet at the same time, way more overbearing appearance.
His hair was darker than a raven's feathers, his skin was as firm as bronze, and his golden eyes flickered brighter than any star in the night sky. His whole posture was straight and filled with confidence, his sharp and also calm eyes examining every face in the hall before halting on Etia's.
A smile, one that was filled with both mystery and cockiness, immediately appeared on his face, boosting his charm severalfold. Some goddesses even began to blush as a result, showing just how handsome he was only with a smile.
"Starting all the fun without even waiting for us? Sigh... How cruel is that from you, Lady Etia..." the young man sighed as he shook his head helplessly and walked behind an empty chair before pulling it out, gesturing for the young woman beside him to take a seat.
That thoughtful demeanor alone won the heart of many goddesses in a blink while also causing several envious gazes to fall on the young woman, who just smiled sweetly and accepted the young man's kindness.
"Lord Leion, I thought you and Lady Calene were meditating on the Thousand Leaves Mountain, that is why I didn't send an invitation. I feared if I do, I will accidentally 'disturb' the two of you." Etia smiled calmly before waving her hand gently.
Whoosh!
"Please, accept this as my apology. I hope this will assist both you and her in your growth." Etia explained slowly as both Leion and Calene grabbed the floating box from in front of their faces.
Leion opened the box, inspecting the things inside before another smile appeared on his face and placed it down on the table, "I appreciate your kindness, but after spending a 100 years on a mountain, doing nothing but consuming Thousand Leaves for days and nights without the chance to push my luck at all, I am a little thirsty for fun... if you know what I mean."
Upon hearing Leion's words, many began to blush, obviously misunderstanding his words, while Etia's face became grave, knowing way too well what he was thinking.
"You want to bet?" Etia asked shortly after, quickly making those who thought about something else now feel deeply embarrassed and ashamed of themselves.
Leion, looking at the floating orb at the center and then glancing at the small pouches placed before some of the gods curved his lips even more and asked, "I mean, why would I even bother myself to come all the way here if I don't want to?"
Then, pushing the box in his hand scarcely forward, his smile slowly turned serious and at the same time cunning, "I will place my bet. A thousand of these in exchange for a Celestial Fruit."
"WHAT?!"
In that instant, the whole room exploded as if someone just dropped a bomb, and all the Gods and Goddesses screamed up with both disbelief and shock.
"C-Celestial Fruit?! Impossible! The last one was found 9,000 years ago and there is still a thousand year before the next one ripes! There is just no way you have put your hands on one!"
"Exactly! You also had to climb the Ream Tree to even have the chance to find it much less obtain it! That is a place that not even us, Celestial Gods can approach carelessly!"
"Yeah! Show us the proof! Show us the Celestial Fruit!"
In a flash, turmoil broke out in the hall, doubt and a hint of anger quickly filling the air after hearing Leion's words.
Leion, however, just smiled, and only after seeing Etia's suspicious gaze did he sigh and wave his hand.
Whoosh!
"Sweet Godfather... T-That really is the Celestial Fruit! But... how?"
Under the stupefied gazes of everyone, in Leion's hand, a small golden fruit appeared out of thin air, making one feel that Leion was not holding a small fruit but a huge apple made out of crystal gold instead!
After letting everyone feast their eyes on the fruit in his hand for a few seconds, Leion ignored the greedy and also murderous stares directed at him, and while he made the fruit vanish he smiled and looked at Etia with curiosity.
"So? What do you say? Wanna make a bet with me?"

Back on Earth.
After starting his training with Kayn, Raven spent almost all his time within the Realm Domain, doing nothing but punching boulders, kicking trees, and learning how to fight with only a few hours of rest given at the end.
Days passed after days, and in a flash, the promised two weeks flew by seemingly without any notice.
During those fourteen days, while Raven's Avatar Traits didn't increase at all nor did he complete any Realm Games, his strength still skyrocketed by leaps and bounds.
BAM!
With a loud explosion, a massive boulder the size of a smaller wooden house exploded into bits, its chunks flying into every direction with such speed that it was almost akin to bullets, capable of claiming lives if one was not careful enough!
"Unbelievable... Although I have just a little over 30 points of Strength, my punch is definitely equivalent to that of someone with 70 or perhaps 80 points of Strength!" mumbling with awe, Raven's eyes flickered with excitement and his fingers tightened into an even firmer fist.
Looking at Raven from the side, who now also had a more robust figure compared to two weeks ago, Kayn smiled with satisfaction when suddenly the phone in his pocket began to vibrate.
The same went for Raven also, so after patting his clothes to clean the dust off he grabbed his small device with the appearance of a rather high-tech phone from his pocket and pressed a small button on it. A small hologram screen immediately popped up in his line of sight as a result.
"Hm? Live Stream will start soon?" Raven was puzzled when he saw the words on his screen and shifted his gaze at Kayn, only to see him watching the same thing as him.
However, their confusion only lasted for a second before the hologram changed its image, showing something that none of them expected to see.
