Chapter 133: God Butcher

    AN: Happy New Year everyone!

    Just a note, the Gorr here isn''t the one in the movie but is more similar to the one in the comics.

    The reason is...well, the plot of Love and Thunder doesn''t really make sense to me...like, why is the Bifrost the Key to where Eternity is? and why is the first to visit Eternity being granted a wish? So you mean to say that no one. Not one Asgardian had ever though of having their wish granted?

    And Zeus seems to know about it too. Yet there''s no mention of him or any other Gods invading Asgard to access Bifrost or something.

    Anyway, I don''t really get the plot much there so I opted for the one in the comics instead but....well, simplified cause I don''t really wanna do the whole time travel to kill the first elder god or something.

    Thats all. Enjoy!

    Chapter 133: God Butcher

    It was built twelve billion years ago, after the First Great War of the Gods, from the rubble of the rock of Creation and embers of the fire that lit the first stars.

    Built by the Lords of the Dawn. By the First of the Elder Gods. As a Place of divine fellowship.

    A place where Immortals from all corners of reality would forever be welcome.

    Here, eternal treaties were signed. Sacred covenants sworn that saved the lives of millions.

    Here, Gods are married and tried.

    Here, Gods are born and bartered.

    The home of the Parliament of Pantheons and the High Holy Court. The Genesis Bazaars and the Halls of the All-Knowing. The moon-sized jewels of the Universal Crown.

    Located in the Center of Infinity. The Heaven of Heavens. A site no mortal eyes will ever see.

    Nexus of all the Gods.

    Omnipotence City.

    Having arrived at this mythological place, Benjamin and his group appeared in the middle of a beautiful garden.

    Looking at the vibrant and lively atmosphere, Benjamin sighed in relief.

    Beside him, Selene raised a brow as she looked at the surroundings.

    “Huh. Doesn’t look that dark to me.”

    “No no, why did you-”

    Before Benjamin could finish his sentence, the sun high above them suddenly dimmed.

    Looking up, they could see darkness festering on the sun, seemingly wanting to swallow it whole.

    Benjamin sighed.

    “You just had to mention it.”

    “...”

    Selene was speechless.No?v(el)B\\jnn

    It was nothing to do with me, okay!

    Looking at the now-black sun, Benjamin saw a white figure clad in black shadows and two white tentacle-like protrusions on his head.

    The figure opened his mouth to speak and it was heard by all the Gods in Omnipotence City.

    “I’m sure you’re all wondering who am I?”

    “Ugh, a monologue.”

    Benjamin groaned.

    The figure continued to talk.

    “You may not know me. But I know all of you.”

    “Make no mistake. I am no God.”

    “I am but a mortal...or at least...I was.”

    “My people and I used to believe in Gods.”

    “We lived in a nameless deserted planet where our sun scorched the earth.”

    “We live in hunger. Everyday. Praying. Begging. Begging for the Gods for rain.”

    “There were no answers.”

    “Only misery.”

    “When my wife and son died, I believed there were no Gods.”

    “Until...one fell upon the dessert. Stabbed by some black knight.”

    “The God was still alive.”

    “Ah Hela! It has been centuries! I see you’re finally out of your prison. Now, what do you say about joining the orgy this year?”

    “You can go and fuck yourself, Zeus.”

    Oh, so this one is Zeus...

    Zeus shrugged.

    “I’ve tried that. It isn’t as fun as I thought it would be.”

    “...”

    Zeus eyes then turned towards Selene.

    “Ah, this must be a new Goddess of Asgard? A pleasure to meet you, I am Zeus! God of Lightning! Are you interested in-”

    “NO.”

    As if to make her point clear, Selene shrouded herself with Death energy and unleashed some killing intent onto Zeus.

    Zeus coughed.

    “Ahem, gotcha. Geez, another Goddess of Death?”

    “While Zeus usually thinks with his lower half, he is right about one thing. Why is the God Butcher still alive?”

    Benjamin turned to look at the other God who spoke up.

    Noticing his glance, the man introduced himself.

    “I am Osiris. I believe we have not had the pleasure of meeting.”

    “Benjamin Freed. EPD.”

    “What is an EPD?”

    A panther God asked.

    Benjamin looked at it and knew instantly who it was.

    “You must be Bast?”

    “Indeed. Have we met?”

    “No. But I met one of your Black Panthers. I’m surprised to actually see you here.”

    Bast sighed.

    “I usually don’t visit Omnipotence City. I was only here this time due to a friend.”

    Bast turned to Osiris.

    “Thoth had been studying in the Halls of the All-Knowing and noticed a sharp decline of...Inactive Gods. When he investigated out of curiosity...”

    Osiris turned to look at Gorr.

    “He found the remains of the Gods the God Butcher had killed.”

    Osiris shook his head.

    “We knew that sooner or later, the God Butcher would find his way here so I called for a gathering of Gods and finish this great evil that threatens all Godkind.”

    At the side, Zeus sneered.

    “Hmph. As I see it, you overreacted.”

    Zeus floated towards Gorr and slapped his face gently a few times.

    “There’s no way this weak mortal could’ve ended us all. Even this greenhorn God could do it. I could take this guy all on my own.”

    “Oh really?”

    Benjamin was long irritated with this Zeus ever since he invited Hela and Selene to his orgy.

    It wouldn’t do not to make him pay a little.

    Benjamin grinned and snapped his fingers.

    The Reality Stone shone on his Infinity Crown and suddenly, they found themselves in the middle of a Greek-style Colleseum.

    Benjamin even tossed back the incomplete Necrosword to Gorr and released him.

    “There. You said you can take him alone, right? Please, guide us.”

    “Huh?”

    Benjamin snapped his fingers again and Osiris, Bast, and the rest of the Gods reappeared on the seats of the Colleseum, leaving the stage to Zeus and Gorr.

    Other Olympian Gods noticed what was happening and one of them even wanted to step into the stage to help Zeus but Benjamin didn’t let him.

    Benjamin spoke up.

    “Ladies and gentlemen. Gods, and Goddesses. I present to you the fight of the century! The God of Lightning versus the God Butcher! Place your bets! This is going to be one for the myths!
