With the tolls ringing around the city, it indicated the beginning of the wargame. Hearing this, both Zeus and Hera immediately sprang into action, eyes gleaming with purpose and mischief.

Hera: Prepare to lose, Zeus. There's no one in the whole world that can top my cooking. I've been perfecting it for thousands of years, and everyone—and I mean everyone—says it's the best!

She swept into the pantry like a storm, radiating confidence.

Zeus: *Heh! Hera doesn't know it yet, but I've been secretly practicing my cooking skills for months. All to win her over again... She won't know what hit her when she and everyone else tastes this masterpiece.*

They both charged into the pantry, grabbing ingredients in a blur of motion, as if every second counted.

Hera: *Beef check. Spices check. Seasonings check. Fresh vegetables check. And a little touch of divine love—double check.*

With a victorious hum, she clutched her ingredients like a warrior claiming weapons and darted back to her section of the kitchen. The fire in her eyes was only matched by the flames under her pan.

Zeus: *Age-old experience, I see... but let's see how she handles a little surprise from yours truly.*

Demeter: *Smile* Looks like Hera's off to a blazing start, leaving Zeus in the dust. She's already cooking like the fate of Olympus depends on it. Meanwhile Zeus..... It would seem like Zeus is still trying to look for the salt.

Zeus: Hey! I heard that Demeter! And for the record, I totally know where the salt is... I was just testing everyone.

Demeter's voice echoed from every enchanted mirror. Her commentary rang in the ears of every deity and mortal spectators alike, even the contestants in the kitchen weren't spared. It was shaping up to be a battle not just of flavor, but of pride, ego, and a sprinkle of old immortal rivalry.

Zeus: Hah! I got it!

Holding everything in his hands Zeus rushed to his side of the kitchen.

Meanwhile in the Hera manor, almost everyone was watching the wargame in their magic mirror. But with there being so many members, the executives were all gathered in Europa's office watching it from there, their eyes filled with a hint of concern. 

Europa: *Sighs* Those two... They're forgetting one simple fact...

She shook her head with a small, exasperated smile.

Bell: Fact? What's that!

He leaned forward with wide, eager eyes, his voice filled with pure curiosity.

Meteria: Now now, Bell, remember to keep your voice down.

Her tone was gentle but firm, like a mother reminding her child in the middle of a quiet temple.

Bell: Eeep!

He squeaked and immediately slapped his hands over his mouth, cheeks puffed out in embarrassment as he shrank back into Meteria's arms.
