Last time on Glitch's Temple, the contestants were formed into three teams and they had to create the official comp picture for their first ritual or challenge. To summarize the first challenge, only Sky and Ry actually did anything for their team. Sure, Abdallah helped, but that's not what Team One ended up using. To make things even better, Team Three actually didn't do the challenge, resulting in an elimination decided by the god of chance. But that consequence quickly turned into a team overkill as Team One, the victors of the challenge, decided to have Team Three vote off someone else. Chess wanted her team to vote her off, but Trash and Thomas were eliminated instead. Then we merged the teams for fear of an overkill. What will happen next? Find out now, on Glitch's Temple!

jeez that was a very long introduction

* * * * *

Emblem Excavators:
Sky (captain), Abdallah, Chess, Collin, Nathan, Tamer, Tech

The Demi-Gods:
Ry (captain), Blue, Dodo, Pencil, Poke, Xavier

* * * * *

For the next ritual, the teams had to create their own religion. They would have to message me the beliefs and philosophies and everything a religion should contain. They had been given half of the week to do so. Failure to do the ritual will result in an elimination plus your team having to do an Oracle Challenge (which everyone hates, btw).

The entire timespan of the challenge wasn't really interesting.

In the Emblem Excavators, Abdallah, Collin, and Tech began suggesting ideas to Sky. Sky used Collin's idea of a cult named "Cult of Glitch." Everyone else added onto the teamwork, some of which Sky used to send in the final output to me.

At least they were actually working.

In the Demi-Gods however, it was basically the replay of the first challenge except that Xavier had to be the one carrying the entire team. Sure, Poke brainstormed ideas and the team discussed a little, but they ended up using none of those.

When I gave them the challenge, Xavier suggested his ideas on the team chat. However, none of his teammates were on at the time, and his ideas weren't even touched until near the end of the challenge.

At the final day of the challenge, Ry said that she wouldn't be able to submit something for she had to sleep and couldn't stay for the rest of the night. A few hours until the deadline, I kept warning them of the risks of not being able to submit, including the possibility of a triple elimination.

Xavier was on, and he asked me how to send his ideas. I told him to just copy his idea and paste it on my DM (team members were now allowed to submit because they only had a few hours left. Otherwise, I would've only accepted the output from the captain).

Before you yell at me for rigging because I helped Xavier send his idea, he was only asking how to forward his ideas to my DM, in which everybody on Kik has the right to know how to do it. It would be unfair for them just because I didn't tell them the basic knowledge of how to use Kik, which everybody should know. Hope I made that clear.

Here are the final submissions of both teams.

* * * * *

Emblem Excavators:

"Introduction
A woman named Naomi met a strange guy who has inhumane powers. His name is Glitch. Interested on his capabilities, Naomi started studying and researching about the tricks and magics behind his powers. But one day, Glitch passed away and the mystery of his strength are still unsolved. And up until this day, the Cult of Glitch, the group Naomi created for her research, is still present. They are still thinking about the insurmountable genes of their Lord Glitch.

Beliefs and Philosophies:
1. Glitch is considered their Lord and Naomi is their Creator.
2. The Glitchers (Members of COG) believe that Lord Glitch has parents named Count Todd and Priestess Rebel wherein he took the powers from his father and the human form from her mother.
3. The Glitchers believe that Glitch's genes are from immortal people.
4. The Cult of Glitch captures people and brainwashes them to be a new member
5. In the Cult of Glitch's Base, it is believed that if a blackout has happened, Lord Glitch is with them.
6. If you opened a PC, go in the internet, and add the codes "Glitch in the Matrix" in a particular line, Lord Glitch will appear in the PC and will talk to you or take your soul. But this hasn't been completely claimed to be true."

The Demi-Gods:

"Wherever the heck we are,there a bunch of demigods (hence the team name) but there are still normal mortals. Every tuesday and  Sunday,the demigods who haven't really learned their powers yet must go to this religious building and be taught how to use those powers by mortals who have researched them."

Do I even need to say who won

For obvious reasons, Emblem Excavators win once again, and The Demi-Gods had to send someone home.

"But Glitch! I thought the winning team will also participate in voting someone off in that losing team!"

Young Padawan, it's different now. That was the system when there were three teams. But since there are only two teams now, we had to resort back to the normal voting system, since the Emblem Excavators' participation in The Demi-Gods elimination would mean overkill for The Demi-Gods, which we don't want.

Anyways, when I announced who won, Ry and Xavier both blamed themselves for their team's loss, and Collin may or may not have been bashing Ry for their defeat, saying that their loss was a "team captain fail."

And then surprise, surprise, it was quiet.

Also, I know I forgot to mention what was the Oracle Challenge in the past chapter, so I'll mention The Demi-Gods' (or more precisely, Ry's Oracle Challenge since she did it herself) Oracle Challenge.

It was basically a mini-Wattpad scavenger hunt, where they had to find seven items. If they got five or more items correctly, they'll pass. However, if they got four or less items correctly, they won't pass the Oracle Challenge, meaning that the random elimination for not doing the Oracle Challenge will still take place.

Here are the items along with their answers:

1. Andrew's birthday {January 6}
2. The number of awards that Glitch got from the Radish Awards {6}
3. Glitch's home city {Cabuyao}
4. The number of works that are in Glitch's "Books I will read when I have time" reading list {3}
5. Glitch's favorite book (in real life) {Angels and Demons}
6. The username of the most recent person who posted on my wall (not including replies) {-AceWasHere-}
7. Glitch's third language {German}

Tbh I'm not even sure about number two

Anyways, I messaged Ry her team's Oracle Challenge a while after voting began. She didn't even had to message the entire team about the Oracle Challenge as she did it herself.

She got all of these correctly.

Even though I'm not sure about number two, I didn't even have to check if her answer for number two was actually correct.

That meant that they're safe from the possibility of a triple elimination. . . for now.

They still aren't safe from elimination though, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Poke discussed about why did they lose and why it wasn't surprising. He told his team that they'd have to vote off the inactives so that they have a better chance of winning in the future. He suggested Dodo because he was inactive yet he didn't know much about him, and Pencil, who also was inactive but has competed in a comp once. Xavier and Poke later agreed to go for Pencil.

The Demi-Gods voted (actually only three of them voted. Smh inactives + Blue), and it was down to Blue and Pencil.

One of them had one vote, and the other had two.

Who had two votes?

Pencil.

Pencil has been smitten.

Pencil's stats:

Team: The Demi-Gods

What will happen next? Will the active triumvirate (Ry, Xavier, and Poke. And yes I coined that term cause it sounded clever) keep carrying their team's arse? Will there be any drama? Will the Emblem Excavators ever lose? Will I continue making long introductions? Will I update K9? Find out next time on Glitch's Temple!

That's it from me, everyone!
