By the time their battle ended, Jason had already replenished a little bit of his energy.
As such, he could use various affinities with a healing property to tend to the Demandor God's wounds.
Just a moment after he started, other Demandors appeared next to him, dragging away their unconscious brethren.
At the same time, they couldn't help but stare daggers at Jason.
They wondered just how strong Jason was, or if he had just won the fight by employing deceitful tricks to his advantage.
Maybe it was even their Demandor God, who had underestimated Jason.
All of this was possible, but at the end of the day, the result was quite obvious.
Jason had defeated a God, and not just anyone but from the Demandor race, at that.
Thus, Jason's reputation skyrocketed within moments.
It was hardly minutes ago before the start of their battle when many present Gods thought that it was impossible for Jason to defeat other Gods.
However, the fact that the Royal Celestia Gods were confident in his strength made them slightly doubt what they sensed.
The doubt became a reality, which was clearly shown when he walked out of the main arena unscathed.
He returned to the other Celestia, who looked at him with proud expressions, only for Myian to give him a thumbs up.
"You did great. I didn't expect you to have more Godly equipment by your side!
Your father must have spent a fortune to have you armed to the teeth."

At the end of the day, it was not important, but Myian was unable to assess Jason's true combat prowess, which made things much more difficult for him.
However, if Myian were to know that Jason had forged his entire equipment all by himself, including the complex of runic constellations, he wouldn't dare to act like this.
After all, there were not many blacksmiths and rune inscribers amongst Celestias, and nearly no one was as capable as Jason.
Owing to his Divine Eyes, the auxiliary occupations were quite easy for him to learn.
But that was not something Myian would know because the Royal Celestia God had never visited while his spars and training sessions were being conducted during the last few years.
And that after asking Jason to participate in the Tournament of the new Gods.
It was almost as if Myian had betted on Jason after seeing his capabilities just once and didn't feel the need to check on him again.
This was quite risky, and actually not something Jason should be bothered about.
Thus, while being showered with praises from his surroundings, Jason focused on replenishing the energy he had used up.
At the same time, he watched the other battles that were starting.
There were quite a few interesting domains to size up, and time passed quickly without him realizing it.
More than two days passed, and only then, it was Jason's time to fight once again.
He wondered if he would encounter another Demandor God, and Jason was not even sure if he would be able to defeat another one.
'Their body was way too powerful. I didn't expect them to be partially resilient to elemental affinities as well…'
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})If he wouldn't have been underestimated, Jason knew that he would have lost against the Demandor God.
As such, his second opponent wouldn't dare to take him too lightly.
That was quite obvious, which was why Jason couldn't help but look forward to his next fight.
Yet, the moment he saw his second opponent, he frowned deeply.
"Is that really necessary?" Jason mumbled as he teleported into the arena where his second fight would be held.
Opposite him was the newly advanced Royal Primalium, the Royal of the Primal humans).
When Jason had seen him fight before, he could barely control himself.
Frustration about the fact that he didn't have his soulbonds by his side, and anger about the fact that the Celestia race had taken from him what was amongst the most important in his entire life was bubbling within his body.
He could barely control his emotions and reminded himself of one thing.
'It doesn't matter how my next fight will end, I cannot stay away from my soulbonds any longer!'
Jason knew that he was far from being strong enough to defeat the older Gods, and had no chance against the old Royal Primordials.
However, he couldn't simply postpone reuniting with his soulbonds anymore.
The pain of seeing the Royal Primalium fighting with his soulbonds was far higher than expected.
As such, Jason faced his opponent with all his emotions having accumulated for more than two hundred years.
The emotions he presumed to have dissipated came rushing to him at the sight of the Royal Primalium.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})If he were to continue holding back from releasing his emotions, Jason knew that he would turn into an Infernal Celestia sooner or later.
Thus, he decided to reveal his emotions once and for all, showing everyone that he was not just an emotionless puppet.
With that in mind, the moment the battle started, Jason let out an ear-piercing roar as he channelized his emotions into the [Emotional Vantage] influencing his Celestia aura tremendously.
Breaking through the arena's restrictions, the entire Colosseum and thousands of kilometers were enveloped in his golden aura that was suddenly intertwined with several different colors.
Crimson, black, and bluish streaks swept through his Celestia aura, and the anger made Jason's blood boil as tremendous amounts of divine energy and mana were unleashed like a ferocious wild animal had broken out of a cage.
In an instant, Jason's entire body was clad in a tight armor, while Byakur's replica emerged in his hand.
He catapulted towards his opponent and emerged right in front of the Royal Primalium just a fraction of a second later.
With several elemental affinities utilized, various wind blades, icicles, fireballs, earth needles, lightning spears, holy tridents, and much more emerged all around him at once.
Without a trace of hesitation, he shot everything towards the Royal Primalium, and simultaneously slashed out while teleporting himself more than a dozen times in a mere second.
Yet, the moment his slash finally landed on the Royal Primalium, at the exact same moment as his other attacks reached him, the newly advanced God could only smile at him.
"Is that how you feel after losing your Soul world? That's quite disappointing…" He just said, his voice growing deeper in the middle of the sentence, as his body grew in size both height and width.
Fusing with more than three Soulbonds that had seemingly unparalleled means of protection, the Royal Primalium blocked Jason's elemental attacks as if he was swatting a fly.
Meanwhile, the sword he wielded simply blocked Jason's slash effortlessly.
Looking into the depths of Jason's irises that had a faint crimson circle around them, the Royal Primalium could clearly tell that Jason had suppressed his emotions far too long.
He had heard a lot about him, even more so from his sister, who had been present on the day when Jason had completed finished his tertiary bloodline awakening, only for him to lose his soul world.
It was a tragic event, and the vast majority of Primal humans might have succumbed to their fate if they would have lost their soul world, just like that.
But not Jason…or so it seemed.
