Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

Chapter 136 - Zeus Vs Thor

"My name is Thor— God of lightning."

 Nero raised his brows and scoffed, "I didn't ask for an introduction, but I shall let you know my name. My name is Nero."

Thor chuckled and uttered, "Are you sure it's not 'Zeus'— Son of Zagan."

Zeus frowned his brows and glared at Thor: "Why do you know my father's name?"

"You are famous in the heavens, you know? There is a chapter on you in the heavens' library, and all the new angels study about you in the heavens' school. Your chapter has all the information— your entire life written on it."

"Heh!" Nero smirked and uttered, "I am glad to know that the gods and heavens still haven't forgotten about me."

Thor sighed and scoffed before saying, "Gods… are gods. The almighty, powerful, sacred, divine beings possessing the power of smiting any world, any realm, merely by blinking. They fear no one, but… one entity scares them; you," He pointed his finger at Nero and said, "Zeus— son of Zagan. You are a threat to the gods and heavens."

"It is my pleasure to be hated," Nero groaned and continued, "That is the best thing I heard after getting unsealed…" Nero stopped and corrected himself: "One of the best things."

"You are as arrogant and evil as you were described."

"Oh? I was arrogant before I was sealed? Then let me show you what true arrogance is."

Thor sighed and shook his head in disbelief, as though he was extremely disappointed: "When the dagger started reacting, I thought maybe it was calling for some powerful entity. But it just turned out to be some lowly hybrid demon."

Nero raised his brows and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "I have no idea what dagger you are talking about. And as for a powerful being, I indeed am."

"No demon can match the god. I don't know why the heavens were so afraid of you."

Nero cracked his fingers and said, " I think we have chatted enough; let's begin the fight. My girls are waiting for me."

"Hmm…" Thor pondered something with a serious look on his face and uttered, "Come to think of it, I did sense three powerful beings coming this way— excluding you, of course.

'Why does he keep calling me weak? Does he not realize how strong I am? Can't he sense my power?' Nero wondered, then thought, 'Oh! I see. My power has already spread in this area, so he can't sense it because he is standing under my power.'

"But now I feel like they are going somewhere else. May I ask where they are going?" Thor asked.

"None of your business."

"I think you should go back and make sure they are alright because there is a monster in the sea, and it is not very friendly."

Nero raised his brows and said, "You are bluffing."

"Why would I lie? There is no gain for me, and besides, I can defeat you anytime, anywhere."

Nero scoffed and asked, "You seem to be the arrogant one, then again— I always thought of you gods as arrogant."

"I am not lying. Not far from here— there is a temple underwater. And it has a guardian. No one has survived his wrath until now, and if your companions encounter him, you won't even find their bodies," Thor asserted in a solemn voice.

"Then I will just have to defeat you as soon as possible." Nero raised his hand and beckoned him, "Come."

Thor dashed at Nero with his godspeed and moved his fist to punch Nero.

SNAP!

A loud snap echoed around the area, and Thor was nowhere to be seen.

Nero gazed down and saw Thor's finger that had survived his snap: "So much for a god."

He waited patiently for his system to react, but even after waiting for 10 seconds, nothing happened.

"What's wrong?" Nero muttered and thought to himself, 'I killed the god, so why my system isn't registering the kill?

Nero frowned his face as she saw Thor's finger regenerating and forming a body.

"Looks like this will be taking longer than I thought," Nero murmured with a sigh.

Thor's entire body regenerated in seconds, and it looked like nothing had ever happened. However, Thor's face showed absolute terror.

Thor conjured his clothes and raised his hand in the air as though he was waiting for something to come at him.

"It seems I underestimated your power, demon...no, Zeus— Son of Zagan."

Thor bowed down his head a little and continued, "I apologize for calling you weak and lowly before."

Nero squinted his eyes and uttered, "Do not think I will let you go if you apologize to me. I am here to kill you, and I will not go back until then."

"Why so arrogant? I was simply acknowledging your power, nothing else."

Nero's ear twitched as she heard the sound of something approaching him at fast speed."

'Is he casting some spell? Well, it doesn't matter.' Nero activated his God's eyes and scanned the area, but what he saw shocked him.

'What is that thing?' He saw a hammer-like object coming towards Thor's hand.

Lightning struck around Thor's hand as he caught the hammer.

"This is my weapon— Mjolnir. It is bound to my soul, and only I can wield it," Thor asserted.

"Ahaha!" Nero laughed out loud and scoffed as he said, "Seriously? Hammer of all weapons?"

Thor frowned his face and pointed Mjolnir at Nero.

The clouds rumbled, and a flash of large lightning struck Nero from the sky and froze him in the glass.

The lightning was so powerful that it froze Nero, and the five-meter area around him also turned into glass.

"You may insult me, but never insult Mjolnir," Thor asserted in a deep voice as he glanced at the frozen Nero.

He sighed and uttered, "The battle was short, but sadly, no matter how powerful a demon is, it can never win against the god."

"I gave you a choice to go back and save your companions from the guardian, but now— not only you are dead, but your companions will also die because of your foolishness."

Thor turned around and prepared to leave but stopped when he heard the sound of the glass cracking.

Thor's eyes widened as he shouted, "Impossible! No one can survive—"

The glass broke, and Nero let out a bloodthirsty growl as the weather turned dire.

The clouds covered the sky, and they rumbled; they rumbled so loud as though they were raging with Nero's fury.

One of the things Nero hated in the world was the lightning attack being used on him, and not only did Thor use lightning on him, but he also froze Nero under the glass.

"You don't use lightning on me, you inferior pest!" Nero asserted in a deep and hollow voice. 

Nero raised his hand in the air, and the lightning— 10 times stronger than Thor's struck Thor.

Thor had used Mjolnir as a shield to protect himself from Nero's attack, but it shattered into pieces on the impact and froze not only Thor but half of the island and the people on it.

The clouds rumbled even louder, and sparks of lightning appeared around Nero's body— almost as if it belonged to him.
