In Will's resting room, the Trio of Will, Adelda and Odin watched the proceedings.

Adelda and Will looked to the side to see Odin's reaction. The latter only closed his eyes in contemplation and resumed looking on with a slight grin on his lips.

Adelda and Will were not linked telepathically, but at that moment, they looked at each other knowing full well what the other was thinking.

'She is finished.'

Back in the arena, the crowd was still reacting to the shocking events. The warlock was from a planet known to be devout followers of Odin, to them, this was an act punishable by death. An act that could even get one's clan banished. And yet despite this, few lingered on these consequences

'If you think about it, she did ask him nicely.'

'Every cultivator has a right to change who they worship...right?'

'Harming himself out of love, what a true man.'

'If she asked me, I would have willingly cut off my own...'

A plethora of thoughts spawned in the minds of the observers during that scene, but only a handful still retained negative impressions of her among the mortals.

'This is a power of concepts, it can even affect you if you are a hologram.'

Adelda felt chills at wondering what this girl could achieve if she became stronger.

'She made the wrong decision by angering the All-Father. She has no clue just how many restraints are on Will.'

Will wasn't happy either. Odin was his teacher. Although not his master like Modus, they were still bonded.

'A teacher for a day, a father for life.'

Will rarely took things personally because of his laid-back nature, but he wasn't passive when his threshold was passed.

It doesn't matter how sexy people think you are. To me, you are just a doll with makeup and someone okay-ish yams. To them, you look like an angel, but you look like an over-glossed pornstar.'

Adelda was amused at Will's reaction. Odin was better at hiding how he felt but it was clear that he was also incensed.

'Men get angry too easily.' She thought as she snickered to herself. This all took time to describe, but all these thoughts and reactions happened within a few seconds.

It was at this point that Mercedes spoke and gave another instruction, "I want you to insult the being you fear the most!"

The crowd could not help but feel chills at this request. There were plenty of beings that were watching that could not be spoken of lightly. For example, if he chose to insult Zeus in his own domain in public in such a manner, even as a mere mortal he would still be asking for a painful death.

Zeus punished Prometheus by having a bird come and eat his bowels daily as punishment for giving mankind fire. Being a deity known for being petty and controlling, Zeus was not one whose name was spoken of lightly. And even if he didn't take action, his children and countless followers would.

But the one spoken of was not Zeus, nor was it Thor or any deity of the sort, it was a name that garnered much more fear.

"You are insane and should never have been made an Administrator, I can't sleep at night knowing that my Administrator is an immature retarded nutcase like you! Modus the Mad, come and prostrate yourself in front of my queen and redeem yourself!"

Mercedes laughed and threw her head back. She was clearly amused by the situation. Despite her radiating beauty, she had an ugly interior that few wanted to associate with. However, thanks to her charms, most only had negative thoughts for a moment only before suddenly having odd thoughts.
