OSHUNS
Dueling (Part I: Fueling the Fire)

In the garden behind the Green Palace, Oshun still continued his activities. This time, no one accompanied him.

He sat down, propped up his chin with both hands, and enjoyed the beautiful view of the fish pond and the blooming flowers.

"Can I win my duel? Huhh... At least if I lose, I want to lose with pride." Mumbled.

"But actually I don't want to lose in front of that shitty guy. I want to make him acknowledge me, and then I'll erode that arrogance!" Oshun's growl was now seen clenching his fists in the air.

"Who are you?"

Suddenly a very masculine sounding voice came from behind Oshun.

Spontaneous Oshun turned to the source of the voice, and how surprised he was when he saw the figure he said he hated being with him.

He immediately stood up, tidied up his clothes, then lowered his head in salute to Great Emperor Ouranos.

The Dag Dig Dug

The Dag Dig Dug

Somehow Oshun's heart was racing when he realized that Ouranos was with him. And the beat accelerated as Ouranos walked closer to him.

It keeps getting closer

Continues

Until Oshun closed his eyes, unable to see firsthand what the cold man wanted to do to him.

And...

Drekks

It was the sound of the bench being shifted.

'Ah, apparently he wants to sit down.' Inner Oshun was a little disappointed.

"What are you doing here?" Ask Oshun.

Ouranos smiled slightly, then said as he poured the tea that was on the table, "Isn't it strange that you ask that in my own territory?"

'Look at this shameless man. After she acted so cute to me, now she's kind of friendly with me?' Oshun's heart was upset, yet still displayed her sweet smile.

"Yes, but from the vastness of your domain, why must it be the Green Palace, His Majesty the Emperor?"

"Why? You don't like it?"

'AHHHHGG!!! CAN HE ANSWER MY QUESTION WITHOUT ASKING?!!!' Shouted Oshun in his heart. His feeling was burning to hit the man in front of him, but he was not that crazy.

"No, how could I not like it? Please enjoy your time. I beg myself..." Pamit Oshun politely and gently.

He would rather leave than sit down and have tea with Ouranos. For him it was a new type of torture.

After all, he wasn't as thick-faced as Ouranos! That's how he thought.

Ouranos cleared his throat, then said, "For the size of someone who will fight in the near future, aren't you too relaxed?"

The remarks that Oshun captured as a signal of provocation to start the debate, clearly put Oshun's move at a standstill.

He displayed a look of annoyance and anger, but when he turned towards Ouranos, he adjusted his countenance to be a friendly Goddess.

"What do you mean, Emperor?"

"You're not practicing?"

"I'm the type that better prepares the inner day before, so you don't have to worry. I've been preparing for years." Oshun clearly while smiling kindly.

"That's great. Your confidence is also pretty good. My advice, you better not be this relaxed. Cultivate to increase the power of the weapons you will use. You won't know who your opponent will be tomorrow."

Oshun smiled, then walked closer to Ouranos.

"Thank you for your advice Great Emperor. I also know the person who will be my toughest opponent. I've estimated it."

"really? Then what if your opponent is me? Are you sure you can win with that power of yours?"

"What's? Are you challenging me?"

"What I want to say is, at least prepare everything carefully so that you do not lose with shame. You don't want to embarrass your Kingdom anymore, do you?"

'What the fuck is this guy?! What does that word mean? Did he mention my shameful self 500 years ago?!Did he underestimate me?!' Oshun's mind was full of anger.

"Please."

"What is your purpose here? What is it to upset me, lower my mental state, or what? Honestly I'm confused, what exactly makes you hate me so much that you don't let me feel calm for a second?" Oshun's question was full of emphasis.

Ouranos. He stared flatly at the flushed face holding back anger, and the sullen eyes held back the cry.

"I happened to see you here when I finished my business with the god Athan."

"So you think you're just fucking me? Am I the one you can play around with?"

'When do I think that?' Ouranos replied with a question in his heart.

"It is up to you to punish me after this for my disrespectful attitude. I don't care anymore. Your cruelty will never make me submit! And yes, on the day of the duel, when I win the first round, I will challenge you to a duel." Oshun said while holding back his weeping of annoyance.

"I know I can't possibly win against you, but at least, I'll prove that I can win with pride against you!"

After saying that, Oshun passed from the place with a hunting move. From the foot, it was clear that Oshun was feeling very angry.

"Basic!! If I knew he had this kind of nature, I wouldn't have come all the way to see him!" Omel Oshun while walking away from Ouranos.

Ouranos was silent, staring flatly at the angry Goddess.

"Why is he so angry? Does he not like to be given advice?" Ouranos asked himself.

He was confused by the reaction given by the young Goddess. He shouldn't have to act like that, right? Ouranos only gave advice that would help him during the duel tomorrow, what's wrong with that? That's how Ouranos thinks.

Ouranos sighed.

"I think it's important that I've fulfilled the request of Athan." Said Ouranos while sipping his tea.

What Happened Some Time ago...

"Oh yes, Your Majesty the Emperor, may I make a request?" Pinta Dewa Athan, ruler of the Zoi Kingdom.

"May be."

"Can you give my daughter some advice for the duel she faces tomorrow? I'm afraid he'll make a mistake. At least before fighting, he had already been directed slightly by the strongest God in this Universe."

"...Alright." Answer Ouranos.

"Thank you Emperor..."

True, Ouranos did so only because it was the Lord Athan who asked. After all, he felt that he did not need to give any advice to the woman. Because he was sure that Goddess Oshun had prepared it carefully. And again, she is a Goddess who has been talked about lately because of her power.

Next Day...

It was time for the duel between Kingdoms to be held in the vast arena of the Sky Palace.

The arena was very well prepared. As much as possible the fight had no direct impact on the large number of spectators present watching the duel between the Gods and Goddesses they were proud of.

After voting, Oshun breathed quite a sigh of relief because he was not the first to fight, but Sebasta.

Oshun remembered the man. He was a fellow student at Grandpa Ri Valley. He is from the Mermaid Tribe.

The man named Sebasta entered the fighting arena with enough frenzy, to make the audience cheer in awe.

"I can't believe he has such a personality. As I remember he was pretty quiet." Oshun Mumbled.

Anastasya, Oshun's mother, chuckled at her daughter's words just now, then said, "Well, it's only natural that there's a change in her. Aren't you like that too?"

"right." Oshun replied while nodding slowly.

The dueling opponent of Prince Sebasta was Maximus, one of the Gods of the Sky Tribe. Everyone knew that the Gods of the Sky Tribe were very strong. So as an opener, it's going to be a very exciting duel.
