Chapter 151 How can there be such a strong force in the world
On a barren Planet.
A White figure crouched in the corner of a ruined building.
He held the Hei Si Sword in his hand, gazing despairingly at the twinkling starlight in the sky.
Although he had been slaying gods, his anger had not diminished; instead, it had grown more painful and desperate.
He had placed all his hopes on Eternity.
It was said that Eternity could bring his beloved back, and even just one meeting would be enough for him.
"Aga..."
He opened his mouth and mumbled, his voice indistinct.
Although he was almost immortal, the passage of time had tormented him continuously.
Only by killing gods could he find some relief from his pain.
"It's time to kill more of those damned gods!"
Gorr the God Butcher gripped the Hei Si Sword tightly and stood up.
Just then, a golden Dimension Door appeared before him.
"Damn it! Is it a God?!"
Seeing this Dimension Door, the melancholy on Gorr's face instantly turned serious. He knew that the people of Asgard would never let him go.
But he wasn't afraid; instead, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Since you've come, it's just in time for me to have some fun!
Gorr gripped the Hei Si Sword tightly, his voice growing hoarser.
When the person inside walked out, Gorr was stunned, and his face immediately darkened.
"Hela!"
He had heard that Hela had become the God King of Asgard, but he hadn't expected her to come in person.
"Gorr, you're still the same after all this time!"
Hela had seen Gorr before, but because of their different stances, they had never clashed.
"I didn't expect you to deliver yourself right to my doorstep!"
Although Gorr noticed the other two people, he didn't pay them any mind.
After all, if it came to a fight, only Hela was his match.
"Go to hell!"
Before Hela could speak, Gorr suddenly stepped forward with his right foot, charging towards Hela like a flash of White light.
At this moment, the Hei Si Sword in his hand also exuded a terrifying aura.
"You're still so impatient!"
Hela's lips curved into a cold smile.
She waved her right hand, and a powerful aura of death immediately swept towards them.
A dark door instantly opened.
Countless ghosts surged out madly from within, then quickly rushed towards Gorr the God Butcher.
In just an instant, these ghosts surrounded Gorr.
But soon, these ghosts realized something was wrong—there was no sign of Gorr the God Butcher beneath their feet.
Gorr's figure flickered, instantly appearing not far away.
Dark light continuously spread along his arm.
He swung his sword several times, and the ghosts surrounding him were cut by the sword light that could tear through space.
Flashes of light passed, and all the ghosts turned into dark mist and dissipated.
"It seems this guy is not weak."
A cold smile reappeared at the corner of Hela's mouth.
It was certain that a human wave tactic was completely useless against Gorr the God Butcher now.
Gorr slammed his left hand onto the ground, and with just that one movement, Hela understood his intention.
She immediately leaped up, floating in mid-air.
The Night Sky Sword appeared between her hands, and dark energy surged in her grip.
As she chanted softly, countless small magic circles appeared in the sky.
From within the magic circles, countless spikes made of dark energy slowly emerged.
With a thought, these spikes immediately plunged towards the ground.
In an instant, the ground within several hundred meters was pierced by these dark spikes.
The ground violently churned and shifted, and in just a moment, the entire ground exploded.
Countless gravel mixed with dirt flew in all directions.
And beneath, the figure of Gorr the God Butcher appeared.
A slight smile played on his lips as he swiftly approached Hela, using the flying debris.
The dark energy in his hand also continuously condensed, and in a blink of an eye, he was in front of Hela.
The moment the Hei Si Sword collided with the Night Sky Sword, a terrifying Impact created a vacuum in the air.
Even the surrounding debris was shaken and scattered.
"Hiss! This guy's strength is truly immense!"
Hela couldn't help but think to herself.
To be precise, it was the power of the Hei Si Sword.
With the enhancement of the Hei Si Sword, Gorrpossessed such powerful combat ability.
Because Gorr himself was not a strong person; he only merged with the Hei Si Sword at the brink of death.
It was precisely because of this that he could fully unleash the power of the Hei Si Sword.
"Hela, you alone can never stop me!"
Gorr the God Butcher revealed a ferocious smile, which appeared even more terrifying against his pale complexion.
"That's not necessarily true."
Hela struck with force, directly sending Gorr the God Butcher flying.
The next moment, the two collided again.
Because of their incredible speed, two blurred Shadows were left in the air.
They continuously collided and separated, and terrifying airwaves spread continuously in the sky.
"Hela should be able to handle Gorr the God Butcher, right?"
Wanda looked at Arthur beside her with a question.
After all, from what they saw now, their strengths were similar.
"Although Hela is very strong now, it's still too difficult to defeat Gorr the God Butcher."
Arthur shook his head, his tone somewhat helpless: "Because Gorr the God Butcher can continuously resurrect, although Hela can also resurrect, he has the Hei Si Sword, so Hela will ultimately suffer!"
Indeed, as the battle continued, Hela's Night Sky Sworddirectly pierced his chest.
But when the sword was pulled out, countless granulation tissues quickly filled the wound.
In the blink of an eye, Gorr the God Butcher opened his eyes.
"You truly are a monster!"
Hela couldn't help but curse.
This guy was simply immortal.
Without the power to completely destroy him, the only way was to seal him.
But the opponent's current power was too strong; even if he were killed, it would be difficult to control his actions and recovery.
"Hela, even if you can kill me, don't expect to truly eliminate me!"
Gorr the God Butcher endured the pain in his chest, but a twisted smile appeared on his face.
This past millennium had not been in vain.
To become stronger, he had been constantly trying to adapt to the power of the Hei Si Sword.
Now, he could be said to be immortal.
Unless Hela found a few more powerful gods to help, at most, she could only kill him once.
"Alright, stop!"
Arthur crossed his arms over his chest, speaking calmly.
Allowing Hela to act was merely to let her practice.
After all, to eliminate Gorr the God Butcher, only his Phoenix Force or Wanda's Chaos Magic could be used.
Hela said nothing and immediately returned to Arthur's side.
"It seems you're the strongest among them?"
Gorr the God Butcher stared at Arthur, because as soon as he spoke, even the arrogant Hela obeyed his command.
"Something like that."
Arthur nodded slowly.
The next second, Gorr the God Butcher reached out and touched a nearby stone, and his body instantly vanished.
In a blink of an eye, he appeared behind Arthur.
"Success!"
A glint of excitement flashed in Gorr's eyes.
He hadn't expected this guy to be completely unguarded.
As long as the Hei Si Sword pierced his body, he would surely die!
But just as he was about to touch Arthur, Arthur turned his head and looked at him.
!!!
The moment Gorr and Arthur's eyes met, he suddenly felt an extremely terrifying sense of danger.
What is this? Why am I afraid?
Gorr couldn't understand at all why just a glance made him so terrified.
He hadn't felt this way in a long time.
The last time he felt fear was when he was still a mortal.
He hadn't expected to feel the threat of death now.
His intuition told him that the other party could easily kill him at any moment.
The next second, Arthur was somehow already facing him.
"When did that happen! I didn't even blink!"
Gorr the God Butcher's heart rate suddenly quickened, and his pupils contracted violently.
He was clearly facing away from him just now, so how did he suddenly turn to face him?
Then, Arthur actually grabbed the Hei Si Sword with his hand.
This power made it impossible for Gorr to pull the sword out.
"How can there be such great strength?"
Arthur held the blade with one hand.
"Oh? Is this the Hei Si Sword?"
Arthur looked at the Hei Si Sword, a slight smile on his lips.
It had to be said that there was indeed a strange power within the Hei Si Sword.
It was as if it fed on emotions.
And once pierced, it could even devour a divine essence.
In other words, this sword was practically designed to deal with gods.
Because many gods had the ability to resurrect after death.
And it was precisely because of the Hei Si Sword that Gorrwas called the God Butcher.
"Don't struggle, you can't be stronger than me!"
Arthur raised his head and said calmly, "Besides, I'm here to help you!"
Hearing this, Gorr the God Butcher was stunned.
"Help me?"
He completely didn't understand what this powerful guy could possibly help him with.
"Don't you just want to see your wife and daughter?"
Arthur smiled and continued, "I've brought them!"
"You, are you trying to trick me?"
Gorr knew very well that his daughter and wife could no longer return.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have sought Eternity.
Because only Eternity could grant his wish.
"I brought them out of hell."
Arthur said calmly.
"You're trying to kill them!"
Gorr immediately became furious.
How could he not know that his wife and daughter were in hell?
But he had no way to rescue them.
Not to mention that Mephisto was immortal in hell, and hell was boundless.
He couldn't find them at all, and furthermore, once a soul was brought out of hell, it would immediately disappear.
Moreover, there was no way in this World to turn a soul into a living being.
Even if a soul was brought out of hell and turned into a soul stone,
Without the protection of hell, it would eventually shatter.
It was precisely because of this that he never even considered this possibility.
"No, I just want to save them!"
Arthur spread his left hand, and two soul stones immediately appeared in his palm.
Seeing this scene, Gorr the God Butcher was too shocked to speak.
"You're looking for death!"
Rage surged in his chest; at this moment, there was only Fire in his heart.
He suddenly turned, kicking Arthur fiercely with his right foot, which was empowered by the Hei Si Sword.
But Arthur simply waved his hand lightly and sent Gorrflying.
Before Gorr could get up, a terrifying force pressed him to the ground, unable to move.
"How is this possible! How can there be such a strong power in the World!"
Gorr's eyes widened, feeling as if he were being crushed by a Planet.
Arthur slowly walked to Gorr's front and said, "Why are you so agitated?"
After speaking, with a thought, the two soul stones, enveloped in dark red light, floated on the ground.
At this moment, something incredible happened.
Two human skeletons suddenly appeared in the air, then meridians began to grow around the bones, followed by muscles and skin, and hair quickly grew out.
Seeing this scene, Gorr's heart trembled violently.
Because... those were clearly the people he had longed for day and night, his beloved wife and daughter!
At this moment, Gorr couldn't believe his eyes.
Although the two people in front of him were indeed his wife and daughter, he knew clearly that they should be in hell.
How could they appear here?
Chapter 152 I don't want to disappoint my daughter
You must know that it was Mephisto's territory; it was simply impossible to find someone there, just like a dream.
What's more, that was hell, and all souls were under Mephisto's control. With his personality, why would he actively seek out those two souls?
And there were so many demons in hell; it would be good if they didn't turn you into a soul, how could they possibly bring those two souls out of there?
But the people in front of him were precisely the relatives he yearned for day and night, and Gorr didn't know what to believe for a moment.
He looked at all this in disbelief, constantly backing away.
He even suspected that he was dreaming, but everything was so real.
Gorr stared at the two people in front of him, reaching out his hand, wanting to touch them.
"Are... are you really them?"
"I'm not dreaming, am I? Weren't you in hell? How could you appear here?"
Gorr, who was originally high above and regarded all living beings as ants, actually shed tears at this moment.
As the God Butcher, what he hated most were those high and mighty beings who called themselves Gods.
His first wish was to eliminate all the Gods in the Universe. Because it was these so-called Gods who caused his wife and daughter to disappear from this World.
Before, he believed these Gods could save his wife and daughter, but when they disappeared, those Gods did nothing, not even saying a word.
That was the first time he truly felt despair. From then on, his only goal was to kill everyone who claimed to be a God.
With his current strength, eliminating Gods was not a difficult task.
And the root cause of all this was the death of his wife and daughter.
But now, Arthur had saved the souls of his wife and daughter from hell and even given them bodies. This made Gorr difficult to accept for a while.
He was not sure if everything in front of him was real, or if Arthur had just conjured two people to deceive him.
But just as he reached out to touch his wife and daughter, they spoke.
"Gorr, I'm back!"
Ala said, shedding tears, and the moment she looked at Gorr, her heart, like Gorr's, could not believe the scene before her.
She had been dead for a very long time, and she herself had not expected to see her husband again.
In addition to his wife, Ala, his daughter also returned.
"Dad, is it really you? Dad!"
The little girl directly rushed into Gorr's arms. A little girl who had been separated from her father forever, but at this moment, seeing her father, she was too excited to speak.
When Gorr heard the little girl call him Dad, he could no longer control his emotions and immediately picked her up.
"It's me, Dad is here. I never thought I'd see you again in this life."
"I really can't believe it, am I dreaming right now? If it's a dream, then let me never wake up."
"Dad, this isn't a dream, we're really back. This big brother saved us."
The little girl pointed at Arthur, who was standing behind. At this moment, Ala also spoke: "Yes, Gorr, we were able to resurrect and return here all thanks to him."
"He saved us from hell. Although we didn't have bodies at that time, our souls suffered terribly in hell."
"If he hadn't saved us, we might never have seen you again."
Hearing this, Gorr finally believed that what Arthur had said before was true, and that he had come to help them fulfill their wish.
Yes, although his wish was indeed to kill Gods, to eliminate all those so-called Gods.
The real reason, in fact, was that his wife and daughter had died. But now, Arthur had actually saved them from that boundless hell.
On the contrary, now he should no longer hate these people, but rather thank Arthur. Because it was Arthurwho gave them life, but his heart still could not forget the harm that those Gods had brought him.
Gorr put down his little daughter, whom he was holding, and walked to Arthur and the others.
"You... why did you save them? And how did you do it? Even I can't directly go to hell and bring out their souls."
"What's more, that's Mephisto's territory, and hell is full of demons, boundless."
At this time, Arthur looked at Gorr, who clearly no longer had hostility towards him, completely without the irritable feeling from before.
Arthur also guessed that Gorr would ask him these questions.
"You don't need to ask why, you just need to know that I can help you, and I have the ability to help you, that's enough."
"If I'm not mistaken, aren't you seeking revenge on the Gods precisely because those Gods disregarded your wife and daughter?"
"And as far as I know, you have already offended quite a few Gods on the edge of the Universe."
"If I really wanted to deal with you, to do anything to you, it would be nothing to me."
"In other words, in my eyes, you are not even worth mentioning."
"The reason I helped you is because your nature is not bad; you were just misunderstood, which led to all this."
"This war is not good for either the Universe or you."
"And I myself don't like fighting, so I might as well solve it from the root."
"The cause was your wife and daughter. Now I have brought them before you, and you no longer have a reason to seek revenge, don't you agree?"
After listening to Arthur's words, Gorr finally understood his intention.
However, the harm that those Gods had inflicted on Gorrwas already etched into his bones, and even if his wife and daughter appeared before him now, he could not forget those things.
It's just that now, facing the appearance of his wife and daughter, he felt a bit at a loss.
Although everything was caused by them, and they had indeed been resurrected and stood before him.
But even so, he still harbored resentment for what those Gods had done to him before, because this hatred had penetrated deep into his bones, and even their presence before him could not change it.
It can only be said that after seeing them, his view of the Gods might change, but he would not be single-mindedly focused on revenge as before.
After all, Arthur was their savior, and Arthur was a normal person, while those so-called Gods were the ones who truly harmed them.
Therefore, this could not change Gorr's view of those Gods.
Arthur continued: "I already said before, I don't like fighting, and I hope to resolve this matter peacefully."
"Now that I have brought your wife and daughter back, I hope you can stop your revenge against them."
"Although I am human, they are my friends no matter what, so I hope you can give me some face."
"I understand your strength; you are indeed very strong, even more powerful than the God King. It is basically impossible for these friends behind me to defeat you."
"You yourself have the title of 'Immortal Body,' I know this, but you have killed too many Gods on the border of the Universe, which has already disrupted the order of the Universe."
"Logically speaking, I should directly eliminate you to ensure the peace of the Universe, but I see you as a pitiful person, simply because your wife and daughter died in the war."
"Besides revenge, your wish must also be to have them back by your side."
"I have now helped you fulfill this wish, so you no longer have a reason to continue killing those Gods."
"In short, one word, stop. Live a peaceful life with your wife and daughter. This should be what you truly want."
"War is meaningless; it only brings ruin to families and mutual destruction. Your original intention was certainly not this."
Arthur's words actually took a lot of thought regarding Gorr. The main reason he said so much was that he didn't want to fight him.
Facing such a meaningless struggle was pointless to him, just a waste of time and effort.
If he really wanted to fight, to erase Gorr from the World, it would be no difficult task for him.
After all, he himself possessed the Phoenix Body, and everyone knew the abilities of the Phoenix Body.
For others, facing Gorr's Immortal Body might be very troublesome; even if they killed him, he would eventually resurrect and disrupt the peace of the Universe again.
So whether it was Thor or Ala, Gorr had always been a problem.
What's more, Gorr's current revenge only harmed themselves.
Not to mention, Gorr had already sent Ala away before, and there's no need to elaborate on what kind of existence Ala was.
Gorr's existence was a root cause of trouble, and Arthurcould completely eliminate him directly with his Phoenix Force, bringing peace to the Universe and peace to time.
But he thought about it and felt there was no point in doing so. Gorr was originally a human, not like this at all.
He was just an ordinary person living on an ordinary Planet, and if it weren't for the harm inflicted upon him by those gods, he wouldn't have become the way he is now.
So, to Arthur, Gorr was also a victim. In Arthur's view, Gorr still had a chance to be saved, hoping he could become better, or at least stop harming gods. This was also why Arthur went to hell to rescue the mother and daughter.
Although hell is a place no one else would want to go. After all, as the lord of hell, Mephisto, even many powerful gods are afraid of him. Not to mention Mephisto's strength and power while in hell, which even Gorr fears.
As the ruler of hell, he controls all souls in the World, and these souls suffer endless pain and live miserably in hell. One can imagine what kind of torment Gorr's wife and daughter endured inside.
The reason Gorr dared not go to hell to rescue his wife and daughter was because he feared Mephisto's power. He was incapable of doing so, and furthermore, hell is an immensely vast place, filled with countless demons. Forget about seeing Mephisto; just those demons alone could tear him apart, which would be very cruel.
The only way to rescue the souls remaining in hell was to use the Eternity Force to forcibly resurrect his wife and daughter. But Arthur was different; if Mephisto was the ruler of hell, then Arthur's power might have surpassed the entire Universe. Even Mephisto was wary of him, otherwise he wouldn't have obeyed his commands before. Moreover, Arthur could even directly lock those demons in hell, so his strength goes without saying.
So he didn't need to solve Gorr's problem this way; direct force would suffice. But to Arthur, doing so was meaningless and couldn't solve the problem fundamentally. The resentment in Gorr's heart would still remain; this wouldn't change.
But if Arthur could resolve the main contradiction in his heart, many things wouldn't happen, and this World would be much calmer, at least that's what Arthur hoped to see.
He himself had no interest in fighting. His power had long surpassed the mundane; defeating or killing someone was too simple for him. But precisely because of this, he found it particularly boring and meaningless.
Moreover, he had promised them to go out together in a while, which had been planned long ago. Now it was delayed because of Gorr. If it weren't for Gorr, Arthurmight be accompanying them to play around now.
But he also didn't want to start a war, which is why he used this method to make Gorr stop harming gods. It was just to tell Gorr that solving problems doesn't necessarily have to be so complicated.
How could Gorr not understand Arthur's words? Essentially, he was a very devout person; in his eyes, all gods in the World were the most powerful beings.
He often prayed to the divine spirits with his wife and daughter, until that incident happened last time.
He had always believed that divine spirits could bring him a good life, but after that accident, his view of divine spirits completely changed.
From initial faith to later hatred, and now wanting to eliminate all so-called justice in the World, all of this was his step-by-step journey, just to avenge his wife and daughter.
But now, Gorr's wife and daughter stood before him, fully restored to their former selves.
However, for Gorr, their return to his side was already enough.
It's just that some of the harm those divine spirits had inflicted upon him was impossible to erase.
Gorr continued, "I understand everything you've said, and I truly thank you for bringing my wife and daughter back."
"I originally thought I would never see them again in this life; it's because of you that I was able to fulfill this wish."
"But this is not a reason for you to stop me; those pains still exist, regardless of whether my wife and daughter have been resurrected or not."
"My goal is still to kill those gods, and if there's a chance, to resurrect them again."
"But now, you ask me to spare the gods, simply because you resurrected my wife and daughter."
"You want me to forget everything they've done to me, to forgive them; I can only say that's impossible."
"Starting a war? They brought it upon themselves; it's not me who wants to deal with them."
"They do what gods should do, yet they betray human expectations; what meaning do such gods have in the World?"
"Gods are a sham from beginning to end, a fraud, useless; such people are simply not fit to exist in this World."
"And your condition for resurrecting my wife and daughter is for me to spare them; I tell you, that's impossible. Unless you defeat me with your strength, making me unable to harm them, otherwise, absolutely impossible."
Arthur frowned, originally thinking Gorr was a reasonable person, different from those bad people, someone who could understand reason.
He had already resurrected Gorr's wife and daughter; logically, he had no reason to attack those gods again.
To Arthur, Gorr was a pitiable person, and he didn't want to harm such a person.
Unfortunately, Gorr had no intention of accepting the favor and still maintained his original attitude.
Since that was the case, Arthur naturally had no need to be polite with him anymore; those words just now were a waste of time.
His originally amiable face instantly turned gloomy.
The reason Gorr dared to do this was because he had the power of the Black Sword, which gave him the ability to slay gods.
And the Black Sword could suppress the power of the divine race, so to those gods, Gorr was a terrifying existence.
After all, under the enhancement of the Black Sword, those so-called gods were nothing but trash in Gorr's eyes.
This was Gorr's most formidable aspect, but Arthur was human, not a god.
He had no divine bloodline; he was just an ordinary human, albeit an extraordinary one. Therefore, Gorr's Black Swordhad little effect on Arthur.
Moreover, Arthur possessed the Phoenix Body, so suppressing Gorr was no difficult task for him at all.
Soon, Gorr sensed something was wrong; after all, Arthurwas not a god, just an ordinary person, yet he possessed all the powers that only gods should have.
Therefore, Gorr's Black Sword was useless against Arthurand could not suppress him in any way.
Arthur no longer wasted words with Gorr; those around him also consciously retreated to the side, because they knew that Arthur and Gorr were about to engage in a decisive battle.
Originally, Arthur didn't want to harm Gorr; he had wanted to persuade him, as he didn't want such a powerful person to disappear just like that. Although his goal was to kill gods, Gorr was also a pitiable person, and Arthurdidn't want to treat him that way. Unfortunately, no matter how he persuaded him, Gorr wouldn't listen.
Since that was the case, Arthur had no need to say anything more.
He came here with two objectives: either to persuade Gorrto abandon his obsession with the divine race, or to make him disappear completely from this World. Since persuasion didn't work, then only force could resolve it. If Arthur made a move, Gorr would not survive.
Just as the two were about to act, Gorr's young daughter suddenly stepped forward.
"Father, what are you doing? He is my and my sister's savior; are you going to harm him?"
"Father, although we lost trust due to an accident before, thanks to this elder brother, we were able to return to this World."
"We should thank them; why are we still fighting this elder brother?"
"Father, I think this elder brother also makes sense; we've finally reunited with great difficulty, why don't we live well here?"
Looking at his young daughter before him, Gorr's heart wavered slightly. He didn't want to disappoint his daughter, but his hatred for the divine race was deeply ingrained.
Although Arthur was human, not a god, he was fighting for the gods, fighting for those hypocritical divine races, and that alone was enough.
Chapter 153: I won't sit still and wait for death
As for why Gorr softened, it was only because his daughter said they were her saviors.
She hoped that the family could live the happy life they once had. For them, their only wish now was to be with Gorr.
They had been away from Gorr for too long, suffering torment in hell every day, and had even almost forgotten what Gorr looked like.
It was impossible to imagine what they had endured in hell.
And Arthur successfully rescued them from that terrible place and brought them back to Gorr.
Regardless of how they treated the mother and daughter before, at least now Arthur was their savior. How could they stand by and watch their savior fight with their closest person?
No matter what Gorr was like, the mother and daughter still chose to stand with Arthur.
No matter what happened before, in Gorr's heart, it was all the gods' fault. But in the mother and daughter's eyes, it was just an accident.
Now, because of Gorr, Arthur had rescued them from that dark place. No matter what, they would not let Gorr and Arthur fight.
The mother and daughter were ordinary people who knew how to repay kindness, so seeing their dearest person attacking their savior was, of course, unacceptable.
Ala walked up to Gorr, took his hand, and pleaded, "Gorr, no matter what, Arthur is on our side. Please spare him for our sakes."
"I know you've resented the gods for years because of what happened to us, but that accident was beyond their control."
"We shouldn't blame the gods for what happened to us. Gorr, stop. I really don't want you to continue like this."
"Don't let hatred blind your reason. Besides, aren't we back with you now? Wouldn't it be better for us to live peacefully?"
"No need to think about all those messy things anymore. Wouldn't it be better for us, as a family, to live a stable life?"
"And I think our daughter definitely thinks so too. Even if you don't think for me, you should think for our daughter."
"Gorr, please don't fight them. Whether you win or he wins, we will be very sad. And we've just been resurrected. To take a step back, if you get hurt, how will we live?"
"If you win but hurt him, he is our savior, and he was injured by you. What will others think of us?"
"Gorr, stop. Can we go back to our peaceful life from before?"
Looking at Ala in front of him, Gorr remembered that she had rarely pleaded with him like this.
Moreover, this time it was for others; she even lowered herself to intercede for them.
Although they were not ordinary people, but their saviors, it was Arthur who rescued them from hell and gave them their bodies.
But this hatred had been buried deep in Gorr's heart for a long time. Yes, he was indeed happy about his wife and daughter's resurrection, after all, this was his greatest wish in this life, a wish that was almost impossible to achieve.
It was Arthur who helped him.
But his hatred for the gods far surpassed all of this. If it weren't for those gods, he wouldn't have been separated from them for so many years, nor would he have become like this.
And now, to give up harming the gods just because of a few words, wouldn't all his efforts over the years be in vain?
He had fought with the gods for so many years, to just give up now, what would all his desperate efforts over these years count for?
Gorr let go of Ala's hand. Clearly, he was still obsessed and filled with deep resentment towards the gods.
This resentment was deeply ingrained and could not be changed by a few words of persuasion.
Even if his wife and children spoke to him right in front of him, it couldn't change his mind.
It was this stubbornness that made Gorr hate the gods even more.
He even felt that it was precisely because of what these gods did to his wife and daughter that they had such thoughts.
A strong killing intent suddenly erupted in Gorr's eyes, an intent even more terrifying than before.
Clearly, this rage was triggered by the appearance of the mother and daughter.
In Gorr's view, everything Arthur did not only didn't help him, but rather seemed like revenge.
They gave them bodies, allowing them to continue believing in the sanctity of the gods.
And all of this, Gorr had experienced firsthand.
He used to believe in the gods very much, believing that they could protect his family.
At that time, his heart was filled with reverence for the gods, but in the end, he found out he was wrong.
It was precisely because he trusted those gods too much that his wife and daughter lost their lives.
No matter how much he pleaded, it was all in vain, only met with perfunctory responses and indifference.
At that moment, his dignity was completely gone, and all of this was due to the existence of the gods.
If it weren't for them, he wouldn't have lived such a miserable life all these years, nor would he have become like this now.
...
And now, they saved his wife and daughter, which was merely making amends for the mistakes they made back then.
It was only natural for them to do so. If it weren't for them, his wife and daughter wouldn't have experienced such pain. Everyone knows what hell is like.
Moreover, that demon in hell is feared by everyone, it's hard to imagine how much torment they suffered there all these years.
Just because they rescued them now and gave them new bodies, freeing them from that place.
Does this mean Gorr should thank them?
Isn't that a bit too self-righteous?
If it weren't for them, would his wife and daughter have experienced such a life?
Not for a day or two, nor a year or two, but suffering every single day, yet he's expected to forget everything with just a few words?
He can't do it, Gorr can't do it, and he absolutely will not do it.
Thinking of this, his eyes grew colder, and his fists clenched tighter. If it weren't for his wife and daughter being present, he would have already fought Arthur.
Ala also noticed Gorr's change and continued, "Gorr, don't keep making mistakes. They haven't done anything to harm us."
"Even regarding your past, they were powerless. This really can't be blamed on anyone."
"Please let them go, okay?"
"Hahaha, let them go? You're telling me to let them go?"
Gorr laughed even louder, his face full of self-mockery, making even Ala feel a little scared.
"Let them go? You're telling me to let them go? Ala, you're still too kind."
"It was these gods who harmed you. I had already put aside my dignity back then, pleading with them, begging them to save you, but what did they do?"
"Hahaha, let me let them go? Why should I let them go, just because they saved you?"
"That's because they should have done it, and they owe me, do you understand?"
"Moreover, you suffered torment in that hell, who will bear that for you?"
"And now you're telling me to let go of those who harmed you? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"I will definitely make them pay the price. At least I will fight him. If I lose, I'll accept it. If I win, I won't pursue this matter anymore."
"If I do nothing and you just want me to forgive them, that's absolutely impossible!"
Just as Ala was about to persuade Gorr further, Gorrdirectly interrupted her.
He continued, "Don't say anything more. I know what you're going to say, but my mind is made up. You don't need to persuade me anymore. This is my grievance with them."
"Yes, I should thank them, which is why I said that as long as I fight him, regardless of winning or losing, I will not pursue this matter."
"Of course, if I come back alive, I will live a carefree life with you here; but if I unfortunately die, I hope you can live well."
"This is not just an explanation to myself, but also to you."
Soon, Gorr led the mother and daughter to a secluded spot.
To prevent them from being affected by the battle, he deliberately took them dozens of meters away.
After all, he knew clearly that Arthur was powerful, and what he had said before also gave him a rough estimate.
The reason he insisted on fighting Arthur was simply because he couldn't forgive them just like that, it was just to make himself completely give up hope.
He had long prepared for death. In the years of fighting with those gods, he had been on the verge of death countless times.
One more time wouldn't matter, it's just that this time they were here, which made him a little hesitant.
Because he knew that after the great battle, either he would still be alive, or he would completely disappear.
And his wife and daughter had just been resurrected. If he really left, they might have to live alone.
But he understood that all of this was his own doing. He couldn't forgive those gods, and even if he died in battle, he would have no complaints. This was simply because he couldn't do otherwise.
However, the mother and daughter, thrown dozens of meters away, watched Arthur and Gorr about to fight, and tears involuntarily streamed from their eyes.
Although he didn't have Gorr's strength, he could feel that Arthur was definitely not a simple person.
Because he personally saw that demon hand their souls over to Arthur, and that demon treated Arthur with great respect, even calling him "My Lord." If even such a demon called him "My Lord," it was clear how powerful Arthurwas.
He knew very well that Gorr might die this time, and if he was lucky, he might still be left with a breath.
And now, he could only watch all of this happen helplessly. He couldn't do anything, because he had tried to stop it before, but it was completely useless.
He had no choice but to let Arthur and Gorr duel.
The little daughter beside Ala, though still young, also had a premonition that her father would be in danger.
Moreover, the person fighting her father was also her savior, which made her feel especially sad. Whether she could bear to see her father die at her age was another matter.
The first thing the mother and daughter did after being resurrected was to find Gorr, wanting to continue living with him.
They had just barely escaped hell, and just barely got their own bodies, able to start over. Why couldn't it be like before?
They had no other wish in this life but to return to his side and be with him.
Unfortunately, fate was cruel. What if they were resurrected? This time, it wasn't them leaving, but them watching their most loved one leave.
"Mom, why does Dad have to compete with that big brother? What if Dad loses? Will Dad leave us?"
"We just barely got back to Dad, and now we have to watch Dad leave us again?"
The little daughter said, her voice choked, and besides Ala, she too was in tears.
Before, Gorr watched them suffer and leave this World. Now, it was their turn to experience the same pain. They knew what it felt like in hell...
And now, Gorr was very likely to experience the suffering they had endured, and they had to watch it happen. The impact this had on them went without saying.
As a mother, Ala naturally had to comfort her daughter when she saw her like this. Although she was also very sad, she had to persuade her daughter not to worry, at least not to let Gorr worry about them.
"Don't worry, daughter. Your father and Big Brother are just playing around. Don't you know his strength? How could he get hurt?"
"Your father will come back to us after he's done competing with Big Brother. Then we can live happily ever after, just like before."
The little daughter looked at Gorr, as if it was really as her mother said. In her heart, Gorr was always the strongest; how could he lose to Arthur?
"You're right, Mom. Dad is so amazing, how could he lose? Once they're done competing, we can continue living happily."
"I haven't eaten Mom and Dad's cooking in a long time. Once they're done, I'm definitely going to have a good meal."
At this moment, Ala's heart felt as if it was tightly squeezed by something, making her gasp for breath, each heartbeat making her feel suffocated.
But even so, in front of her daughter, she still pretended that nothing was happening, at least not letting her daughter see the slightest abnormality.
"Okay, when Dad finishes, we'll go home."
"Next, we'll just wait here quietly for Dad to finish and come find us, okay?"
"Okay, don't worry, Mom. I'll sit here quietly and wait for Dad to come back. Then we'll go home together."
"After being away from home for so long, I wonder if it has changed."
"Will it still be the same as before?"
"Well, we'll only know when we go back. I think Dad will definitely tidy up the house as good as it used to be."
"Hmm, I think so too. I hope Dad can finish quickly, but I also don't want Big Brother to get hurt, after all, Big Brother saved us. It would be great if both of them are fine."
Path A
27.5% 22:40
"Yes, it would be great if they were both fine."
At this moment, this was Ala's hope. She vaguely felt that after this battle, she might never see Gorr again.
On the other side.
Arthur and Gorr were about to start their battle, and Arthur's friends consciously made way for him.
They weren't worried at all that Arthur couldn't defeat Gorr. If Arthur didn't have the Phoenix Body, he might have some concerns, but now that he had the Phoenix Body, defeating Gorr was as easy as pie.
Moreover, Arthur was not a successor of a god, so Gorr's Black Sword was useless against him. And all of Gorr's power was placed on that Black Sword. He had merged with the Black Sword, and the reason he could kill gods was also due to the Black Sword's power. Now that the Black Sword was ineffective against Arthur, his strength was naturally greatly reduced.
It was almost impossible to defeat Arthur.
And Arthur had originally invited them to eliminate Gorr, so he naturally wouldn't hold back in the battle.
At this time, Arthur had just acquired a new skill from Zeus, and it was perfect for practicing on Gorr.
Soon, the originally clear sky instantly became covered with dark clouds.
Arthur raised both hands, and lightning from the sky struck the ground.
At first, he was still unfamiliar with the power of lightning, but with the help of the system, he quickly mastered its use.
He raised both hands, and the lightning in the sky was immediately controlled by him. The originally flat ground instantly cracked, clearly Arthur did not intend to let Gorroff so easily.
He had given Gorr a chance before, but the other party didn't cherish it, so he could only let his friends erase Gorrfrom this World.
Arthur's eyes glowed, and he flew into the air, merging with the lightning, then launched an attack on Gorr.
At this moment, Gorr naturally wouldn't sit idly by.
He took out the familiar Black Sword, and with the Black Sword's enhancement, Arthur's lightning posed almost no threat to him.
He raised the Black Sword, and black mist immediately surged from the ground. Now, he had merged with that black mist.
He slapped the ground with his palm, followed by bolts of lightning, and Gorr's ability was originally to move through the darkness.
Countless lightning bolts struck down, and Gorr, who was originally hidden underground, was forced to reveal himself.
At this point, Arthur and Gorr engaged in a head-on confrontation.
But Arthur's power was far more than this; his strength was something Gorr could not even imagine.
He had originally thought Gorr could fight Arthur to a standstill, but unfortunately, Arthur completely overwhelmed him, giving him no chance at all.
Arthur grabbed Gorr by the neck and lifted him, but Gorrwas immortal, so he naturally wouldn't be injured by this.
Soon, Gorr transformed into a Shadow, breaking free from Arthur's control.
Chapter 154 Looks Weird
Arthur had no intention of wasting more time on Gorr; his mission this time was to defeat Gorr.
He knew that an immortal being like Gorr was most afraid of the Phoenix Force and the Chaos Force.
To end the battle quickly, he directly displayed his Phoenix Force.
At this moment, Gorr was still holding onto a glimmer of hope, not yet realizing that danger was approaching.
Soon, Arthur, who had been using lightning, suddenly switched to Fire.
Flames began to burn on the ground, and Arthur's body was also covered in Fire; at this moment, eliminating Gorrwas simply effortless.
Gorr initially didn't understand why Arthur was so confident he could harm him, but seeing Arthur's current appearance, he finally understood.
Although Arthur was an ordinary person, he dared to be so confident that even gods had to be wary of him, and he was a terrifying enemy to all gods.
Yet, Arthur treated him like an ant, while he himself was merely an ordinary human.
Now, he finally understood the reason.
"You... you have the Phoenix Body? No wonder you were so arrogant just now; so that's it."
"No, that's not it. The reason for my arrogance isn't just because I have the Phoenix Body; it's simply because with it, I can defeat you."
"Not to mention I have some other abilities, but for you, there's no need to show them all."
As soon as he finished speaking, Arthur waved his hands, and Gorr's body was enveloped in flames.
Soon, agonizing screams filled the ears of everyone present.
He possessed an indestructible body, and what he feared most was being defeated by the Phoenix Body; once defeated, he would have no chance of resurrection.
Ala and her daughter, not far away, also heard Gorr's screams.
Ala, as Gorr's wife, was by no means an ordinary person. She was now witnessing everything happening before her eyes.
Gorr was consumed by Fire, and this was no ordinary Fire. The Phoenix Force was beyond the imagination of mere mortals.
After her daughter heard Gorr's cries, she couldn't help but ask, "Mommy, was that Daddy calling just now? Did something happen to him?"
"Can't Daddy beat that big brother? Is Daddy okay? Will he get hurt?"
Looking at her adorable daughter, how could Ala bear to tell her the truth?
"How is that possible! That wasn't your Daddy's voice. Your Daddy is having a fierce fight with that big brother right now. You know, your Daddy is the strongest; he will definitely win."
"Mommy will tell you the truth, your Daddy is about to win and will be home very soon."
"Really? That's great! I knew Daddy was the best; he would never disappoint me."
After hearing her daughter's words, Ala felt a little relieved. After all, she could bear this reality alone.
At this moment, Gorr was completely powerless to resist; the flames raged within his body, and the pain he endured far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Arthur looked at Gorr before him, his heart as calm as Water; he had already foreseen the outcome, and the result was just as he expected.
Gorr still clung to a sliver of hope, thinking he could defeat Arthur, unaware that he was the laughable one. But at this moment, he wasn't thinking about himself, but about his wife and daughter.
He knew that he was about to turn to ashes, and all of this was but a thought away.
But his wife and daughter had just been reborn, and now they were about to lose him again.
Seeing Gorr suffer in the Phoenix Fire for some time, it was almost time to let him completely leave this World and disappear forever at the edge of this Universe.
Just as Arthur was about to transform into a fiery Phoenix to deliver the final blow to Gorr, Gorr, struggling in pain, used his last bit of strength to speak:
"Alas, I never thought my final fate would be like this. But perhaps this is for the best; I've done too many wrong things over the years, harming so many gods. This outcome might actually be the best destination for me."
"Ultimately, I still have to thank you. At least from now on, I don't have to live in pain anymore. I have finally found liberation."
"Life these past years has truly been boring. I died and lived, lived and died. Many times I wished I could have gone in their place, for the mother and daughter."
"Unfortunately, fate played its hand; it wasn't me who left, but them, leaving me to endure all this suffering alone."
"To be honest, I never thought I'd see them again in this life, nor did I think I could resurrect them. I don't have that ability."
"But you did it; you truly brought them before me."
"But this is enough. Whether they are real or fake, it doesn't matter. At least before I die, I can fulfill my wish and see them one last time. That's enough."
"I have no regrets in this life. Being able to see them, I can die in peace. I just never thought that I, the mighty God Butcher, would die in such a way."
"Forget it, let it be. It's enough."
"If they are real, if you truly resurrected them, then could I trouble you to take good care of them after I die, or if possible, let them live with you?"
"After all, they are just ordinary people, without abilities. I don't want them to finally see me, only for me to disappear from this Universe the next second."
"This is my last wish. Could you please help me look after them? Please."
Gorr had always been aloof, treating even gods like ants before him, yet now, he shed tears for the mother and daughter.
He had lived his entire life for them, but unfortunately, he ended up in such a predicament.
Arthur's heart also welled up with a hint of pity at this moment, even a trace of reluctance, almost letting him go.
But considering his friends, and for those girls, he had no choice but to do this; leaving him alive would ultimately be a hidden danger.
Arthur returned to the ground, retracting his Phoenix wings, his face full of helplessness. He didn't understand why this person before him had to be so stubborn.
"Alas, why do you have to be like this? I have no grievances with you; I wasn't here to kill you in the first place."
"I said from the beginning that I was here to help you. If you had listened to me then, would there be so much trouble now?"
"I really don't understand, what kind of deep hatred or resentment makes it so unpleasant? I've already rescued your wife and daughter. Wouldn't it be better for you all to return to your original World and live a peaceful life?"
"Why insist on continuing to be a God Butcher? Why? Although I don't know exactly what happened between you, it's mainly because of those two, isn't it?"
"I've already fulfilled your wish, so why must you be like this?"
"I went to such great lengths to rescue them from hell. I originally thought you would turn over a new leaf, but it seems I was too naive."
"But don't worry, since you're dead, and I'm the one who brought them here, I will naturally take good care of them."
"I can't just leave the mother and daughter alone and helpless there; you can rest assured about that."
After hearing Arthur's words, Gorr knew that he was willing to take care of his wife and daughter. Now, he could finally leave this place.
Finally, he could escape from all of this, at least no longer live in hatred.
The resentment he harbored against the gods had accumulated for over three hundred years, and even he himself could not control that obsession within his heart.
This was also the reason he had persevered. Now that he couldn't defeat the Arthur before him, it was a good opportunity to return to hell and experience the suffering they had endured.
They had suffered too much these past years; he hoped they would live happily ever after.
"Thank you. Your words are enough. The reason I didn't give up is simply because I couldn't give up."
"Go ahead. I'm ready. It's also a good chance for me to experience how they lived all these years."
Looking at such a carefree Gorr, seeing that he had made up his mind to leave, Arthur naturally wouldn't stop him.
Arthur shook his head helplessly, then flew into the sky, transforming into a Phoenix that instilled fear in the World.
Gorr, who had been a physical entity, instantly turned to ashes the next second, scattering with the wind into the boundless Universe.
This time, Gorr could no longer be resurrected; he was truly dead, completely gone from this Universe.
After the matter concluded, Arthur returned to his human form, standing in place. The sky, which had been covered in dark clouds, instantly became clear and cloudless.
It was as if nothing had happened, yet everything had changed.
Hela and Thor walked over to Arthur, looking at Gorr, who was now covered in ashes, and finally let out a sigh of relief.
Now they no longer had to live in constant fear; everything seemed to have returned to peace.
"He's dead, isn't he? The power of the Black Swordshouldn't be able to resurrect him anymore, right?"
"Ah, he's finally dead. Although I know you didn't really want to kill him, since he didn't appreciate it, there's no need to keep him."
"I actually felt some sympathy for him, what a pity."
Thor continued, "What was the point of us going to such great lengths to rescue his wife and daughter from hell?"
"We originally thought he would be on our side, but it turned out to be useless."
"Gorr was no good, but his wife and daughter are innocent. Now that he's dead, what about them? Should they go back to live on that tragic Planet?"
"Although we rescued them, we also killed their loved one. Will they also become like Gorr, gaining extraordinary abilities and eventually seeking revenge on us?"
Hela, listening from the side, felt that there was some truth to this. After all, Gorr had evolved into his current state precisely because of this.
Hela said, "They are Gorr's relatives; it's possible they also have such abilities."
"And that little girl, if she develops hatred towards us, the consequences could be very serious in the future."
Hearing their conversation, Arthur was not worried about these issues.
When Arthur killed Gorr, he had already promised him that he would take care of the mother and daughter.
So, everything said before was certainly invalid, not to mention how could he possibly let the mother and daughter return to that tragic Planet again?
Only by following Arthur was their best choice.
Clearly, Arthur's harem was about to gain another member, though this one was a little different from the previous ones.
But for Arthur, this wasn't a big problem, as he already had enough women.
Thinking of this, Arthur suddenly remembered that he had previously promised those women to continue traveling with them, but because of Gorr's matter, it had been delayed for so long, and he hadn't returned yet.
When he left, he hadn't told them what had happened.
Now that they couldn't find him, they were probably still angry.
Thinking of this, Arthur's head began to ache. He knew that although these women generally had good tempers, if they really got angry, the consequences could be unpredictable.
Perhaps when he returned, before he even opened his mouth, he would be severely beaten.
At the thought of this, Arthur involuntarily shivered.
Hela noticed that Arthur's expression was a bit off, so she asked, "What's wrong? You look strange."
"Nothing, I just thought of something, a bit of a bad premonition, nothing major."
"Oh, right, later, could you help me explain to them? Otherwise, I alone, I'm afraid..."
Hela immediately understood his meaning: "Oh~ I know. Don't worry, I'll explain for you."
Meanwhile, Thor looked bewildered, completely not understanding what they were talking about, and he didn't press further.
Even if Hela wanted to ask how the mother and daughter would be arranged next, they had already walked up to them.
Ala and the little daughter looked left and right, not seeing any trace of Gorr. Ala instantly understood that Gorr had "disappeared."
Her inner worries had come true.
But the little girl still didn't realize how serious the situation was, still looking innocent and adorable, she walked up to Arthur and asked, "Big brother, are you and my Daddy done fighting? Where's my Daddy? Why don't I see him? Where did he go?"
Arthur looked at the little girl's face. Although she was a monster, he could feel her pure innocence.
Her big, watery eyes stared at him, and for a moment, Arthur couldn't bear to lie to her.
He looked at the little girl's mother. Although they weren't human, they were quite beautiful with a little dressing up.
Bah, bah, bah, no, no, how could he take advantage of someone in their vulnerable state? Their loved one had just died by his hand; that would be too inhumane, and besides, they weren't human at all.
Arthur didn't know how to face himself for a moment.
Chapter 155 So That's How It Is
What's more, this little girl was only six or seven years old; although cute, she was still too young.
Arthur patiently knelt down and said to the little girl, "Your father just went to a very distant place and might not be able to return for a while. But he just said that for now, you two will live with Big Brother."
"When the time is right, your father will come back to find you."
Hearing that her father had left, the little girl immediately became sad: "Big Brother, did Daddy really leave? Why didn't he tell us?"
"Daddy didn't say he was leaving before, and we just managed to see him, but now he's abandoned Mom and me and left by himself."
"But, Big Brother, when will my daddy be able to come back?"
"Big Brother isn't too sure about that. Your father is handling some matters right now, and when he's done, he'll naturally come back."
"So for now, why don't you come home with Big Brother? I have several older sisters at my house, and they can all play with you."
"Also, the food Big Brother makes is delicious. Do you want to try it?"
Upon hearing this, the little girl's original sadness immediately dissipated, and she happily said, "Really? Big Brother can cook too? Is it even more delicious than Daddy's?"
"Well, you'll have to taste it yourself to know."
"Alright then, let's go quickly!"
Clearly, the little girl had been taken in by Arthur's words. Looking at such a pure little girl in front of him, Arthuractually felt a bit guilty.
Because he had lied to her, and her father was the one he had killed.
After comforting the little girl, Arthur went over to Ala. He was about to speak, but Ala interrupted him.
"You don't need to say it, I understand everything. He's gone, right? I really don't understand why, after we finally came back, he had to leave us again like this."
"But don't worry, I won't blame you. After all, this was an act of helplessness. It can only be said that his resentment over the years was too deep, and this is all because of us."
"Perhaps this is fate, there's nothing we can do. What I'm most worried about now is my daughter. I know she's fine, but she's still young. If she knew, it would probably cause big problems."
"Don't worry, I've already explained it to her, at least she believes it now."
"Your husband also told me to take good care of you two after his death. Come back with me. The Planet you two lived on before isn't suitable for two people."
"Come to my place; at least I can give you a better living environment."
"Mm, then I'll trouble you."
"But before we go, can we go back and take a look first? It's been a long time since the incident, and I don't know what it looks like now."
"I want to go back and see first, I just don't know if it will delay your time."
"It's fine, let's go then. You've just been resurrected; it's normal to want to go and see."
"Oh right, I still don't know what to call you."
"Just call me Ala."
"Ala?"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, it just sounds very similar to a friend of mine's name."
"I see. Oh, right, what should I call you?"
"Just call me Arthur."
"Okay."
And so, they searched for their home among the ruins.
On this barren Planet, everything, from the buildings to the ground, was dilapidated. It didn't look like a place fit for human habitation at all.
Their home was naturally in the same state, and the other few people followed them to the end of this ruin.
Before they died, many people of the same race lived here, but unfortunately, since that disaster, the number of their tribesmen dwindled, and now it was completely empty.
At that time, they had also always believed that the gods would save them and bless them, but the result was vastly different from what they imagined.
Soon, they arrived at a familiar cave, which was what they called home.
They never expected to be able to return here, but in such a dry place, where there was no food year-round, no one would probably want to return.
Staying in this hot place for a while was unbearable, let alone having no food. They had walked for so long, and besides seeing a cracked surface, they hadn't even seen a single blade of grass.
In such an environment, it's no wonder Gorr had such strong faith in the gods, hoping they could change their fate.
Unfortunately, nothing could be changed.
In this environment, survival itself was difficult, and even the most basic food was hard to come by.
Ala looked at everything before her and felt it was time to say a complete farewell to this place.
Arthur opened the Dimension Door, and after traveling through two dimensions, they finally returned to the manor.
That was Arthur's home.
Ala and the little girl looked at everything before them, and they were surprisingly excited.
After all, in the place they lived, they couldn't even see a single blade of grass, and this place was simply paradise to them.
The little girl, seeing the never-before-seen sight, excitedly shouted, "Wow, Big Brother, is this your home? It's so big and beautiful! I've never seen a place like this."
"So these are trees! In my memory, we only had dry tree trunks where we lived, without even a single leaf on them."
Arthur walked to the little girl's side, patted her head, and then said, "Do you like it here?"
The little girl nodded vigorously: "Of course I like it! Everything here is something I've never seen before."
"Good that you like it."
"Oh, right, you must be hungry after your journey, right? I'll get you something to eat. Come with me."
"Okay, there's food! I haven't eaten in a long time."
"I wonder what delicious food Big Brother has at home. Is it fruit?"
They walked into the manor like this, and just as Arthurwas about to take them to the kitchen, the people at home saw Arthur return. The slight excitement they had felt immediately turned into anger.
As soon as Lorna saw Arthur, she angrily walked up to him and directly questioned, "Arthur, where did you go? Didn't you say we were going out to play? How could you leave by yourself and abandon us here?"
Lorna's voice was loud and quickly attracted the other girls in the house.
"What? Arthur is back?"
"Where is he?"
Wanda's face was full of anger: "You went out without telling us? You just left us like that, and you still dare to come back?"
"We agreed on a trip, and then you just disappeared. What does that mean?"
Wen Ge also spoke: "Arthur, you did go a bit too far. Even if you had other things to do, you should have at least told us in advance. What does it mean to leave us hanging here?"
These people spoke one after another, giving Arthur no chance to speak, and they didn't even notice the two new friends behind him.
Until Hela stepped forward to explain for Arthur: "Wait, you've misunderstood. Things aren't as you imagine."
Lorna asked in surprise, "Sister Hela? How are you here too? Didn't you go back to the Temple of Asgard? Could it be… you and Big Brother Arthur…"
Hela quickly explained: "No, no, it's not what you're thinking. I was indeed there initially, but then some things happened, and Gorr returned."
"And Gorr has already killed countless gods in the Universe."
"You also know that Gorr has an immortal body. Even if I can defeat him, he can resurrect countless times. In this situation, only Arthur can help me."
But just as Hela wanted to continue speaking, Arthursuddenly interrupted her.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough."
Arthur glanced at Ala and the little girl behind him out of the corner of his eye.
Hela then realized she had let something slip; they were still present.
"Phooey, phooey, my memory is really terrible. Actually, it's just because Gorr appeared, and we went to talk to him, and finally just convinced him."
Hela said this, but everyone didn't understand at all; they only heard the name "Gorr."
It was precisely because of Arthur's coughs that Lornaand the others finally noticed two unusual people behind Arthur.
Lorna: "Oh, there are guests? Who are they?"
"Why do they look like this…"
Wanda glanced at Ala and the little girl, and combining it with Hela's previous words, she quickly understood what was going on.
Wanda: "Arthur, look at you, guests have arrived and you don't even introduce them to us. Hurry up, I'm so sorry, please come in and sit."
The few people quickly sat on the sofa.
Arthur said, "You all sit for a while, I'll go get you something to eat."
Ala replied, "Okay, thank you for the trouble."
Wanda: "Wait, I'll go too."
"And me."
The three of them followed Arthur into the kitchen together, leaving only Hela with the mother and daughter in the living room.
In the kitchen, Lorna still couldn't figure out what had happened.
"So, Big Brother Arthur, what exactly happened? Why are they here? And where have you been all this time?"
Arthur took this opportunity to explain things clearly.
"This is a bit complicated, I'll explain it simply."
"Originally, I promised to take you all out to play, but then Hela found me and said that Gorr's appearance had already disrupted the balance of the Universe."
"At that time, Gorr had already killed many gods on the edge of the Universe."
"So I was called to help eliminate Gorr."
Although Wanda had roughly guessed what had happened, after hearing Arthur's words, it was still a bit different from what she had imagined.
Wanda then asked, "No, Arthur, wasn't Gorr already eliminated by Hela? I remember during the last great war, it was Hela who took him down."
"Didn't they say he was already dead?"
"Yes, logically he was dead, but you overlooked a key point—Gorr has an immortal body. With the help of the Black Sword, he cultivated an immortal body. Even if he is eliminated, as long as he is given time, he can resurrect."
"And with each resurrection, his power will be stronger than the last. This is also the ability the Black Swordbestowed upon him."
Lorna asked, "So that's how it is. Then you went to eliminate Gorr, so who are the two people who came back with you?"
"And judging by their appearance, they look quite similar to Gorr. Could they be Gorr's Master? I remember Gorr lived on that barren Planet."
"His tribesmen died out long ago, so how could they appear here? And with a child? What's going on?"
Arthur continued to explain: "Gorr's tribesmen have indeed been gone for a long time. After Gorr left that Planet, they gradually perished not long after due to issues with the Planet."
"Gorr was the one who lived there the longest; everyone else left this World for various reasons."
"As for the ones I brought back, they are Peije's wife and daughter."
Wanda was too surprised to speak, momentarily unable to believe what she heard: "Arthur, you're not joking, are you? Weren't Gorr's wife and daughter already deceased?"
"And if I remember correctly, the reason Gorr hated the gods was because of his wife and daughter."
