A battle of the gods broke out in the base camp of the Hall of Evil! Six gods are attacking Evil God Vataco!” Hiss! Zeus frowned, and the expression on his face became colder. Hearing this, Leo roared frantically, “Father! Look at these gods! They don’t care about your Chief God’s Order at all! They don’t see you as the chief god at all!”
