Last time on Glitch's Temple, the contestants had to guess what mythology did the said god came from. They had choices: Roman, Greek, Norse, or Egyptian. With huge help from Blue, the Demi-Gods won the challenge, and the Emblem Excavators had to send someone home. Chess has been smitten, along with Dodo and Tamer. I said it's going to be interesting, but is the next challenge going to be interesting with only actives left? Find out now, on Glitch's Temple!

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

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

The contestants had to make a hymn about Glitch's Temple. By "hymn" I mean parody.

That's right. The teams had to make a parody about Glitch's Temple.

They had several hours to do it, so here's what went down.

Both team chats were pretty quiet.

As always, both team captains asked their teams what would their parody be about and in what tune. However, no one seemed to step up except Xavier from The Demi-Gods.

Xavier asked me if the parody could be in the same tune as the parodies from last season. There was never a rule that doesn't allow you to use the same songs from last season, so I let him. He wanted to make his parody on Heathens, Believer, and another song I forgot but it's probably from Imagine Dragons. He chose Believer.

A couple of hours before the deadline, Ry turned in Xavier's parody of "Believer" by Imagine Dragons with her edits to make the song match the rhymes.

Or should I say, RYmes?

*ba dum tss*

Also, Xavier didn't finish his parody, so Ry tried to continue the parody, but eventually decided to just leave the hymn as is.

Meanwhile on Emblem Excavators, after so much help from his team, Sky decided to make the parody even though he said it'll probably suck. He turned in his parody of "Demons" by Imagine Dragons, a couple of hours before Ry sent in their parody.

Not much happened during the time of the challenge.

Here are the hymns sent by both teams.

Emblem Excavators' parody of "Demons" by Imagine Dragons:

"When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood's run stale

I want to hide the truth
I want to shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is Glitch's Temple
This is Glitch's Temple

When you feel anxious
Get prepared for them
It's when the deities come
It's when the deities come

Don't get too close
You will get smitten
It's when the deities come
It's when the deities come

When the Totems fall
The God merged us all
Into the Demi-Gods
And Excavators

So they do rituals
To smite us all
To turn our backs
And watch us fall

Don't want to let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't want to hide the truth

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is Glitch's Temple
This is Glitch's Temple

When you feel anxious
Get prepared for them
It's when the deities come
It's when the deities come

Don't get too close
You will get smitten
It's when the deities come
It's when the deities come

They say it's what you make
In many of their rituals
Our soul was super forced
To save our lives from death

Their eyes, they shine so bright
But they can kill with that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how

When you feel anxious
Get prepared for them
It's when the deities come
It's when the deities come

Don't get too close
You will get smitten
It's when the deities come
It's when the deities come."

And The Demi-Gods' parody of "Believer" by Imagine Dragons:

"First things first I'ma walk to the Glitch temple's entrance
As soon as I walk in I feel a little essence
Oh ooh ooh
I feel a little essence
Oh ooh ooh
Second things second don't you dare tell me where to go on this journey
So I don't fall in a trap and be hanging by my knees
Oh ooh ooh
Hanging by my knees
Oh ooh ooh..."

Both teams are fans of Imagine Dragons, aren't they.

I have a feeling that I will not have a single parody challenge without a song from Imagine Dragons.

Anyways, Emblem Excavators won the challenge, and The Demi-Gods had to send someone home again.

The voting period was a bit disappointing (I expected some drama rip)

During the voting period though, I sent in an Oracle Challenge to Ry. It's basically just unscramble the words. If she got more than 9 correct, her team will be safe from a random elimination. However, if she got less than 8 correct, her team will only be left with just two members. If she wasn't done 12 hours before the elimination ceremony, I'll give hints to what all of the words are if she asked.

Here are the unscrambled words with their answers:

1. MSUNDIIH (Hinduism)
2. SMDDHUBI (Buddhism)
3. MAISJU (Judaism)
4. MSFUCONIANCI (Confucianism)
5. MISROAZOSTRIAN (Zoroastrianism)
6. TYNICHTSIRIA (Christianity)
7. ILAMS (Islam)
8. GYOLHETO (Theology)
9. WEN TTTESMANE (New Testament)
10. SISGENE (Genesis)
11. EXOUSD (Exodus)
12. ICUTLEVIS (Leviticus)

Like last time, she singlehandedly did the challenge (unless Google is actually a person if she used that) with some help from hints.

Here are the hints:

1. It is one of the world's oldest religions. It is founded in India.
2. It was founded by Siddhartha Gautama Buddha.
3. Still one of the world's oldest religions, their followers suffered the most during World War Two.
4. It is a belief system in China that was suppressed during the Qin dynasty.
5. It is a monotheistic religion in Persia.
6. It is the world's largest religion today.
7. Their followers are stereotyped as terrorists.
8. It is the study of religion.
9. This is where Christians believe in.
10. It explains the creation of the world.
11. It is basically the biography of Moses.
12. It is part of the Old Testament.

Just read up for the answers.

Also I probably got some of these hints wrong because I didn't actually research the answers beforehand.

She didn't get number 11 (which is Exodus), but she answered the rest of the items.

Out of all the 11 answers she got, 11 of those answers were correct.

They were safe for now.

Back to the voting period.

Two out of four voted (sigh Poke and Blue), and the votes were split.

It was down to Poke and Blue.

And they both have one vote.

So, I had to call the god of chance (Roll) to decide who's going to be banished.

Roll chose Blue.

Blue has been smitten.

Blue's stats:

Team: The Demi-Gods
Confessionals: 0
Votes received: 1
Missed challenges: 0
Challenge eliminated in: Hymn-making challenge
Place: 9th

I'm surprised he didn't miss a challenge tbh

* * * * *

Thanks for participating, Blue!

After Blue was eliminated, I removed everyone from the team chats.

What does this mean?

It's officially merge time.

I even gave a dramatic speech. I'll paste it here, too.

"This is the time when the true Champion rises above all others. The one that is deserving, who used wit, skill, stupidity, or a combination of all three. By due time, that person will be recognized as the true Champion of Glitch's Temple. And it won't be long before we see one truly rising."

What will happen next? Will there be an alliance? Is the host going to be disappointed again because there's no drama? What happened to the Collin-Ry tension? And who's going to be the Champion of Glitch's Temple? Find out next time, on Glitch's Temple!

That's it from me, everyone!
