The camera pans across Asgard's grand arena, focusing on a lavish rest chamber. By the crackling fireplace, Zeus and Hermes debate the next divine contender. In the shadows, Odin sits still, his ravens perched, while Loki plots mischief and Thor radiates battle-hunger. A heated discussion on martial arts erupts among Shiva, Susano'o, Apollo, Heracles, and Ares, drawing amused giggles from Aphrodite. Meanwhile, Hades, Poseidon, and Belzebbub sip tea with icy indifference, and Buddha quietly enjoys his lollipop, oblivious to the divine tension.
