Chapter 140: Taming A Fallen God

[Congratulations! You Have Completed The Quest.]

[You Have Killed A God.]

[You Have Received The Skill 'Resurrection'.]

Nero glanced at the bracelet on his left hand and muttered, "I honestly thought it would last much longer. But it only lasted for 0.6 seconds."

The moment Nero severed his left hand, instead of regenerating, it got re-attached the second he cut it.

"Now then…" Nero made a cut on his finger and used the Resurrection skill on Thor. "Time to test if this skill works on gods or not."

The resurrection skill gave Nero the power to revive any living being within three seconds of their death.

Thor's body regenerated and fully healed as if nothing had ever happened to him. But instead of his golden hair, he had red hair.

Thor opened his eyes and glanced at his body with a confused look on his face. 

"I thought I had died." He looked at Nero and asked, "What did you do to me?"

"I revived you… to kill you again."

Thor gritted his teeth and uttered, "You truly are an evil demon."

"I was just kidding. And I originally only came here to get some information about the current state of the heavens. But after seeing your attitude, I felt like killing you. So I killed you and revived you as my slave," Nero uttered with an evil smirk on his face.

"What are you talking about? You may be strong, but I am a god, and I will never be your slave!" Thor yelled.

"You already are." Nero smirked wider and ordered, "Kneel."

"What? There is no way—"

Thor dropped to his knees, forcefully. He tried to move his body and get up, but he couldn't, almost as if he had no control over his body.

"What… What did you do to me?!" Thor hissed with a frowned face.

"I used my blood before reviving you. So now… you are my slave."

"How dare you!" Thor screamed.

"Bow before me," Nero uttered, and Thor's head was thumped to the ground.

"Don't raise your voice in front of me."

Thor grunted his pain and tried to get up, but he couldn't.

"One more thing; since I used my blood, you are now the very thing you loathe."

"Don't tell me…"

"Yeah." Nero laughed aloud maniacally and uttered, "You are a demon now."

"You… sadistic motherfucker!"

"Whoa! Language, dude. A god shouldn't speak those words," Nero smirked.

"Release me this instance!"

"Fine~"

As soon as Nero's released Thor, he got up and stood straight before Nero.

Nero raised his brows and remarked, "I thought you would try to attack me as soon as I released you, but… I am impressed."

"Even if I had tried to attack you, you would have controlled me again," Thor replied with a sigh.

"Why are you doing this?" Thor asked.

"I already said I want information about the heavens."

"Unfortunately, I can't tell you anything."

"That's why I will force you to speak everything you know," Nero sneered.

"When I was exiled from the heavens, the gods have wiped my memories, so I don't remember anything," Thor answered with a solemn voice.

"Bullshit! No one can erase memories like that. Even if gods— at most, they can only seal your memories."

"I will unseal those memories in this instance." Nero raised his hand, and a magic circle appeared before the tips of his fingers. They were purple-colored magic circles, and they revolved around Nero's fingers. He moved his hand towards Thor's head, and instead of turning red— the magic circle broke.

"..."

This scene reminded him of Emilia.

'The same thing happened when I tried to access Emilia's memories.' He frowned his face and thought, 'Is this truly possible to wipe one's memories?'

Up until now, Nero had never heard or seen a case when someone had amnesia and didn't have the memories. Nero was always able to cure amnesia using his unsealing technique, but he couldn't bring the memories that never existed.

"I told you," Thor shrugged.

Nero stared at Thor with a lifeless glare and said, "That means… you are no use to me. Maybe I should kill you now."

Thor gulped down and muttered, "Begging for mercy is a shameful act for a god, but I care more about my life than my godly ego and ideals."

"Do you remember how many times I killed you in those 0.6 seconds?" Nero asked with a curious look on his face.

"I don't know the exact number, but… I died 1549697 times." Thor glanced at Nero's bracelet and said with a horrified look on his face: "If your demonic powers get unleashed, it will bring an end to this world."

"Are all Gods as powerful as you? If yes, then I don't even need to get my cores or weapons back to kill them," Nero tittered.

"No. I was an angel before, and I got promoted to be a god after I brought victory to the heavens," Thor answered.

'I have never heard of an angel becoming a god, but he isn't lying. Is that truly possible?' Nero wondered.

"Do all gods need to be killed a million times before they finally die?"

"There is a reason why the Gods are called immortal," Thor answered with a shrug and continued, "And I was just a low-rank god."

Nero raised his brows and asserted, "I have killed many immortals in my life, and they died after I killed them some thousands of times."

"Have you ever killed a god before?" Thor asked with a curious yet calm look on his face.

"No." Nero shook his head and answered, "You were my first."

"..."

"Wait… that sounded wrong." Nero facepalmed himself and sighed.

"I may not be able to give you information about the heavens, but I can give you your weapon," Thor suggested.

Nero furrowed his brows and questioned, "My weapon? Why do you have my weapon?"

"It's a long story, so it would be best if you simply follow me to my palace. I can show you and tell you everything you need to know," Thor said with sincerity in his voice.
