Chapter 139: Eater of the Realms

Thor fell on the island from the sky, and Nero landed beside him.

He gazed at Thor and uttered, "My Tribulation ate your realm, and we ended up back in your kingdom."

Every cell in Thor's body had frozen as his body had started disintegrating.

'He will die after I kill him a dozen more times,'' Nero thought to himself.

"It has been a long time since I used my lightning powers and my Tribulation. I was called 'Lord of Lightning' by the 'Thunder Goddess' but ended up loathing my lightning powers because I couldn't protect her from her own powers," Nero uttered in a solemn voice with a distant smile on his face.

"Ever since then, I never used my lightning powers, but thanks to you— not only did I use my lightning powers, but you also made me summon my Tribulation— the Eater of the Realms."

"I don't know why or how you became a fallen god, but I must admit it was fun fighting you. And I don't think the other gods will be as friendly as you were; at least, I don't think so."

Nero watched Thor's body regenerate and placed his hand on his chest.

'There is this feeling again; what is this feeling?'

'Is this guilt? Or my sense of justice is calling for me?'

'In any case, I must kill him to get the 'Resurrection' skill.'

Nero remembered the last fallen god he met was when he was seven years old. He also remembered how the other gods brutally killed him.

"Kind people always meet a bad end," Nero muttered, then continued, "So you just have to stop being kind."

Nero furrowed his brows and looked at Thor's body which had fully regenerated: 'His powers increased like never before.'

He thought Thor would die once he killed him a couple of times, but Thor's power suddenly increased to 100 folds.

Nero chuckled and wondered, 'He must have a strong will to live… or a reason to stay alive.'

"I, Thor— God of lightning have no more skills or attacks to use on you, and even if I did, I am sure you would have countered it without breaking a sweat."

Nero raised his brows and asked, "So you are ready to die now?"

After a brief silence, Thor nodded and said, "I am."

Nero squinted his eyes in confusion and wondered with a puzzled look on his face, 'Has he not realized the sudden influx in his powers?'

A wide smirk appeared on Nero's face as he said, "Actually, it will be boring to just give you a simple death."

He pointed his finger at the bracelet on his wrist and uttered, "This thing… is very annoying. All this time, I was grateful for it as it sealed my demonic powers, but now… I don't."

"Are you saying that you can be more stronger than you already are?!" Thor exclaimed.

"I don't have my cores, my weapons; I have yet to learn the blood arts, and I know nothing of my vampire powers other than sucking blood…" Nero shrugged and added, "Which technically everyone can?"

"Unbelievable! How can you even control such powers!"

"I don't, and I can't, nor I want to— anymore." Nero sighed and continued, "After I was unsealed, I tried many things to get this bracelet off me, but I can't. I tried asking someone else, but they couldn't either. I showed it to the so-called expert, but she couldn't figure it out either."

Nero smirked wider and continued, "But there is one thing I haven't tried, and that is cutting my hand off."

"I wonder what would happen if my demonic powers got unleashed," Nero uttered with a smug look on his face.

Thor gulped down in fear and stuttered as he asked, "Surely, you don't plan to do that, right?"

"I very much am," Nero replied and continued, "Alright, I will give you a challenge, and if you are able to achieve it, I won't do that."

"...." Thor was speechless.

"I will give you one minute. In that one minute, you just have to land one hit on me; it doesn't matter how hard. If you do that, I won't unleash my demonic powers. But if you fail, then… Eff for you."

"But why?!" Thor yelled. "I already admitted my defeat and asked you to kill me, then why do—"

"Because I am a demon," Nero remarked. "Your time starts now."

Thor dashed at Nero in godspeed and tried to punch him, but the moment Thor moved, Nero disappeared from his sight.

"58 seconds left."

Thor looked upwards and saw Nero casually yawning in the sky. He jumped in the air and conjured Mjolnir to hit Nero, but Nero flew away. 

'Flying with wings feels better than flying with harpe, but having a flight ability is much better since I can have precise control without worrying about any external factors.'

"55 seconds left."

Nero was flying so fast that Thor's eyes couldn't keep up, so he was giving Thor a freebie by letting him know his location. Although the moment Thor figured out Nero's location, he flew away somewhere else.

"48 seconds left."

Thor chased Nero for another 30 seconds, but he couldn't catch Nero.

"18 seconds left."

Thor grew anxious and began shouting, "Why are you doing this?! Don't you have your companions around too? If you unleash your demonic powers, then they will also end up in the grasp."

"You don't have to worry about them. And besides, I don't think I will get rid of  this annoying seal that easily."

"10 seconds left."

Thor glanced around the clouds to pinpoint Nero's location, but it was coming from all the directions that he couldn't figure out.

"5 seconds left."

Thor looked down to see Nero standing on the horizon with a vicious smirk on his face.

"3 seconds."

Thor immediately threw Mjolnir at Nero to stop him, but Nero swiftly dodged it.

"2 seconds." Nero raised his right hand and aimed it at his left hand.

Thor rushed to Nero as fast as he could and raised his fist to punch him.

"1 second."

"No!" Thor yelled on top of his lungs.

"0 seconds."

Nero struck his right hand on his left hand and chopped it.
