Chapter 722: Seven Card Magicians
The encounters and duels between several seeded players really made the audience outside the small world enjoyable.

Especially the duel between Eros and Othinus made the audience scream with excitement.

This was truly a wonderful game of cards. Whether it was Othinus’ desperate suppression or Eros’ counterattack in desperation, both were brilliant.

And it was not only exciting to watch, this game also benefited others a lot.

Facing the next round of Othinus that will never come, 99% of people would not be able to crack it, and once it is formed, it will be a failure.

However, Eros’s operation provided others with a way to respond. The game’s offense and defense are not turn-based. It is also possible to launch a raging offensive during the opponent’s turn.

It is precisely because of Eros’ demonstration that Othinus’ unsolvable routine will definitely not be so useful in the future.

After all, the effects and conditions of her cards, even the methods to deal with them, had been demonstrated once by Eros. As long as he played in a targeted manner, he would naturally not give Othinus another chance to achieve his goal.

Moreover, as the preliminary rounds accelerated, the small world continued to shrink, more and more card games were played, and the duels between those who came later became more and more intense.

All kinds of cards hidden in the bottom of the box were taken out, including some powerful cards of incarnation of gods, each of which was at the level of an eight-star monster.

But even so, no one can defeat the four seeded players, and the qualification spots can basically be said to be set in stone, it is just a matter of time.

Under the sun disk, Atum looked at the gradually shrinking small world. In the fierce duel scene, Heka’s rules were constantly absorbing and completing themselves.

The simple rules that were originally full of loopholes are also gradually being enriched and revised to reduce the scope for arbitrariness.

But even so, it was still far from what Atum wanted.

No longer paying attention to the operation of Heka’s rules, Atum stared at the scene in the small world, quickly scanned it, and then sighed with some regret.

There are no other promising candidates, otherwise He would consider adding a resurrection match mechanism to make the following competition more intense.

But these few should be enough, and at worst, He could add Himself to the list.

With the organizers not adding any extravagance, the preliminary round audition process is gradually coming to an end.

After playing cards passionately, these card players who came from afar were gradually cleared out of the small world.

But even so, they did not find it unacceptable or discouraging. Instead, they were very eager to find the opponent who sent them out and have another fight with him.

I got stuck in the last game, no count, let’s try again.

After all, few poker players really believe that they can win all the way to the end, fight their way through the crowd of great players, and win the championship.

They just play cards for fun!
Even after the preliminary rounds were over, they stayed in Sun City in groups of three or four, playing cards with each other and were in no rush to leave.

Such a scene was naturally what Atum was happy to see, so the priests in the Sun City still warmly entertained these disqualified contestants.

Eros and Menage did not emerge from the small world until three days later, when the last contestant was defeated.

Also walking out with the two of them, not surprisingly, was Othinus, who was covered in a large witch’s hat, and Abraham, who looked like an ordinary old man next door.

Eros just glanced at Abraham without paying too much attention to him to avoid arousing the other party’s vigilance. Instead, he continued with his previous style and looked at Othinus according to his heart.

And Othinus also stared at Eros with his green eyes, and just by looking at his eyes, one could tell that this guy was not the kind of person who would give up easily.

She would not let Eros go until she figured out why he knew her name. “Congratulations on your victory in the preliminaries. You are undoubtedly the best Heka magicians I have ever seen.”

Atum supported Horus’ body and smiled warmly at the few people.

“You have obtained the qualification to participate in the main competition, and your opponent is also the best among all gods, an outstanding god.”

“They are the goddess of life and magic, and the patron goddess Isis.”

“The god of vengeance, falcon-headed Horus.”

“And Set, the violent lord of the desert and god of storms.”

“Please don’t hold back, don’t have any worries, just give it your all and focus on this match. Defeat your opponents and write a legend of a human god defeating a god.”

Just when Atum finished announcing the next game procedures, the old man with a peaceful face suddenly asked.

“Lord of this city, I would like to ask you for a small reward. I wonder if you can grant it?”

“I am a refugee from the foreign lands. Now my wife and family have nowhere to live. I beg you to allow me and my wife to live on this land and continue to multiply and prosper.”

Fleeing from a foreign land? If Eros remembered correctly, Abraham was born in Mesopotamia, in a city called Ur.

Now Mesopotamia was his land, so what did Abraham mean by fleeing? Was it directed at him?
Just wait and see. Sooner or later I will extradite you back to Canaan and deal with you slowly.

But does this guy still have a wife? He is already quite old, with white hair and beard, and his wife is probably about the same age as him, already an old woman.

Eros seemed to be uninterested in Abraham, but he was actually secretly quite concerned about him.

Although Abraham looked like just an ordinary old man, he definitely had extraordinary protection, otherwise he would not be able to command the holy angel.

“I agree to this. You can live anywhere outside of Sun City as you wish, but you must continue to participate in this competition and cannot escape at the critical moment.”

Atum nodded in agreement and turned to look at the other three.

“Since I have agreed to his request, I have to be fair and just. You are all outstanding winners from the preliminaries, so I can satisfy each of your small requests that are not excessive.”

“Let me ask you, is the champion’s reward real? Can outsiders accept it?”

Othinus mentioned this rather sensitive and important issue without any hesitation.

Anyway, no one would connect her to Odin, so she could ask without any worries.

“Of course. As long as you can challenge and defeat the three goddesses and other contestants, I will naturally grant her the throne of the world.”

Atum said without hesitation, his eyes never leaving Othinus’s.

“Okay, then I don’t have any requests.”

Othinus pulled down the brim of his hat, but Eros could still feel that sharp gaze on him.
