Achilles held a serious gaze combined imperceptible amusement with a smile, and watched Hutizi waiting for him to make his move.

The stands became more excited as the fight unfolded further.

- Achilles has challenged Huitzi! While our half-god stands tall, despite being the most injured so far!

Aphrodite, sitting on the divan in her personal room, stared at the Greek hero she'd faced with her trojans many years ago.

- So... he's not only a pretty handsome and strong warrior - she spoke with sensuality and interest - He also has a very covetable spirit...

Geir was looking directly at the arena; but despite having her eyes on the combat, his mind wasn't there. She had many things on her mind; one of them was his Valkyrie sisters within the walls of Valhalla.

- Several minutes have passed since the tournament started. By now, everyone should be awake.

At the moment of whispering that, a probable moment crossed her imagination, which stole an amused smile from her.

- Maybe Hlökk is angry, a lot 'cause Líf and Lífthrasir don't get up from her beds. Maybe Mist, Hrist and the others are convincing her not to hit that cute pair of kids.

But, that smile quickly disappeared.

- We're only in the first round and I feel like an eternity has passed here. But... - she shook her head at her and fixed all her attention on the arena - I must continue with this, to save humanity and will protect my sisters.

The Mexica pantheon threw cheers and applause with fervor, filling the side of the spectator Gods of the combat.

- Come on, lord Huitzi!

- The southern hummingbird will win!

- Mesoamerica terror will crush that human in no time!

- Tremble, humans! God of War is going to bathe this battlefield in the blood of that human!

While everyone shouted excitedly without losing her devotion, Coa fell to her knees on the ground as she felt her strength as her mother constantly diminish.

- Mother! You don't have to worry about my brother! - Cuahui spoke to the Goddess, bowing beside her - He has overcome many obstacles and won in countless battles against many Gods... He's the southern hummingbird!

- Since he entered that arena, he's in danger of dying... - Coa spoke, while she cried in whispers - I'm very worried he'll drop dead in this arena.

- He won't fall! He himself defended you with fist and sword from your other children, when they wanted to kill you!

She directed her gaze back to her Huitzi, her chest spilling blood from her 2 wounds, and she closed her eyes.

- Please, win... son.

Huitzi smiled and raised her gun to point it at Achilles.

- "Blessed God of war", you say? It seems you've been well informed about me, but... Answer me "half-god"... Have you really heard the truth from me?
