"Lord Thanatos!"
Thor’s eyes snapped open, and a frantic young girl’s voice sounded beside him.
The melodious music abruptly came to a halt at that moment.
Instinctively looking around, Thor discovered that he seemed to be in the midst of a recently imagined scene, becoming that silver-haired figure.
Just as he was puzzled.
A figure walked toward him from afar.
As the figure approached.
It prostrated directly on the ground.
"Lord Thanatos, Lord Tartarus asks you to visit the Ocaran Plane; it seems the giant dragons there are being unruly."
The figure spoke respectfully.
"Ocaran Plane?!"
"Understood!"
Thor was somewhat puzzled, but before his confusion spread, he instinctively spoke out.
"I shall take my leave!"
The figure respectfully retreated.
It was not until the figure had completely disappeared.
That fairies also retreated on their own.
It was only at this moment that Thor had the time to sense himself.
At this moment, he had an extremely bizarre feeling, that he could control his body, yet at the same time could not, assuming a first-person perspective, yet also a third-person view—it was truly miraculous.
For instance, at this moment, he clearly wanted to do nothing.
Yet his body moved involuntarily.
As before, he clearly didn’t intend to speak, yet still spoke.
It was as if this body had been programmed with an automatic sequence, and only when not violating this sequence could he exert control.
But if the automatic sequence was triggered, it took precedence.
After understanding these things, Thor ceased trying to interfere forcefully, and instead began to observe his own situation.
Powerful.
Unimaginably powerful.
At this moment, he could feel that his "body" and "spirit" had reached an unfathomable level; he even sensed a force he hitherto could not grasp.
"Rules!"
He murmured, finally understanding what that power represented.
Rules.
The Holy Sanctuary suffices to extend the Law.
Upon reaching the Divine Domain, one can preliminarily mobilize the Power of Laws.
But to advance further in the Divine Domain, ignite the Divine Fire, and condense Divinity, one must touch upon the Power of Rules.
And to progress at this deific level, it depends on the strength of the Power of Rules.
The divinity Thor acquired earlier contained a thread of the Power of Rules.
However, compared to his level, the Power of Rules was excessively high; even if he reached the Holy Sanctuary, or even the Divine Domain, trying to wield the Power of Rules would be nearly impossible.
This already touched upon the most pinnacle existence in the world.
Possessing the Power of Rules grants one a ticket to that level.
Just like at this moment, the God of Death Thanatos had mastered the Power of Rules, or rather, the Power of Death Rule.
And because of this, he was the true God of Death in the Netherworld.
In contrast, other death gods seemed rather inadequate.
Of course, Thor’s thoughts were flowing, yet the God of Death Thanatos didn’t halt; after leaving the Pure Land of Bliss, he set out directly for the Ocaran Plane.
The speed of deities is astounding.
In just a few days, the God of Death Thanatos reached a new plane.
This was a plane located somewhere unknown.
Yet the plane was immensely vast.
Much larger than the one Thor resided in.
At the same time, the countless auras within were terrifying.
Even a cursory feeling made Thor’s brow arch.
However, everything changed when the God of Death Thanatos arrived.
Horrifying entities either exploded or silently fell; his figure traversed the entire continent, and countless living beings, whether Sky Knights, Earth Knights, or those of the Holy Sanctuary and Divine Domain, without exception.
The entire continent instantaneously transformed into a deathly Divine Kingdom.
That day, tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of creatures were utterly exterminated.
Weaving strands of the Aura of Death merged onto Thanatos, equally enveloping Thor.
Vaguely, Thor seemed to fall into some sort of epiphany.
Time slowly drifted on.
The subsequent period unfolded just like before.
During peaceful times, the God of Death Thanatos remained in the Pure Land of Bliss; in times of need, he descended personally.
Yet given his level, such personal descents were scarce, usually handled by subordinate lower-rank gods.
Until one day arrived.
Upon a continent that could have been easily crushed, there arose an unexpected challenge.
The other side too presented a deity.
And not just any deity, but an upper-rank god.
Upon seeing this figure, the God of Death Thanatos couldn’t help but tense.
For the other was wholly recognized by him.
As the God of Death Thanatos tensed, a strand of information surfaced in his mind.
It was none other than Hephaestus, revered as the God of Light.
Compared with him, the other held a far greater reputation in the Divine Domain, not only being the father of the sun, moon, and dawn, but also embodying the forces of Light and the Sun—an epitome of clarity and warmth within the cosmos.
In contrast, Thanatos’ strength was undeniably inferior.
Their battle erupted.
The outcome was beyond question.
Ultimately, Thor watched helplessly as his own body disintegrated.
His soul obliterated.
Yet just as Thor thought it was over.
As time passed.
"Splash!"
Amidst the phantasmal ebb, the silhouette of the God of Death Thanatos emerged slowly from the River of the Underworld.
His consciousness reconnected once more.
Yet at this moment of re-"resurrection," he discovered that the war within the Divine Domain had already concluded.
The God of Light and God of Darkness vanished amid their fight.
The Divine Domain collapsed, with deities returning to their own lands.
Faced with the Life Goddess’ command, the God of Death Thanatos found himself bewildered.
Momentarily at a loss.
Until he once again sensed the aura of the God of Darkness, only then did Thor feel the bewilderment of Thanatos dissipate.
Yet soon after, another chaotic skirmish broke out.
Endlessly engaging in divine battles alongside Thanatos.
Though Thor still merely touched the Power of Rules, his understanding of the Power of Laws steadily advanced.
In the outer world.
The most notable change on Thor was the increasingly apparent aura of death swirling around him.
Simultaneously, more and more Power of Laws began weaving together.
His Death Domain was rapidly condensing and forming before his very eyes.
With more undead and skeletons emerging from the Domain.
Such a scene undoubtedly made Gaddafi feel even more stifled.
His figure could do nothing but retreat continuously.
Yet at this moment, within just a few dozen breaths, over a third of his Divine Domain had been tainted.
At this rate, within a mere fifteen minutes, his Divine Domain would be completely overrun.
"Damn it!"
Gaddafi’s eyes were tinged with blood.
Wave upon wave of aura burst forth rapidly.
Thoughts churned relentlessly.
But evidently, Thor knew nothing of this.
He continued to follow the God of Death Thanatos, waging battle after divine battle.
With the disappearance of the God of Darkness, control over the Netherworld was utterly lost.
The Five Major Gods of the Underworld erupted into war.
