Chapter 256
The great God of Thunder had his body completely covered with wounds and blood was leaking in large amounts, but even so he had a victorious smile.
For on the ground in front of him lay Gilgamesh unconscious.
"You are absurdly strong, Gilgamesh, but you couldn't unleash the true power of Gungnir, for only a God with divine authority could do that, and I am Thor, son of Odin, and I know all about this spear," Thor said as he laughed and prepared to celebrate his victory.
But his joy quickly faded.
"I wouldn't say that" a familiar voice appeared behind Thor.
Thor tried to react but it was too late.
Several golden portals appeared around him releasing several segments of chains that instantly enveloped him. The chains instantly bound Mjolnir and Thor's limbs, shoulders, neck and abdomen, leaving him completely immobile. The chains continually twisted and tightened with enough force to try to rip Thor's head off and bend his arms beyond their limits in a normally impossible direction, bringing the God of Thunder to his knees.
Out of the dust behind Thor was revealed Gilgamesh unharmed.
Thor could not believe it! He saw Gilgamesh lying unconscious on the ground!
Turning his gaze to the unconscious 'Gilgamesh' he saw that the body crumbled to earth.
"A clone?" questioned Thor perplexed.
"Exactly. I didn't release Gungnir at its full power because I didn't want to, I needed you to have this false hope of victory" explained Gilgamesh.
"So you pretended to lose to bind me in these chains" said Thor: "You think mere chains can bind me" shouts Thor, forcing his body to break the chains.
But to the great God of Thunder's perplexity the chains didn't even move.
"This is useless. [Chain's of Heaven's], the chains of heaven that bound the Bull of Heaven, an anti-divine weapon created to reign over the Gods, any divine being bound by these chains will have his divinity sealed off and become a mortal" explained Gilgamesh making Thor's eyes widen.
"If you had such a weapon why didn't you use it before?" questions Thor.
"Part of it because I wanted to enjoy the battle and also if I used it at the beginning of the battle you will soon understand the power of it and be careful, I needed to make sure you would be arrested" explains Gilgamesh calmly.
"So... from the beginning, every move I made...?"
"Exactly. I planned and anticipated your every move to force you to unleash the true power of Mjolnir and be reckless" broke down Gilgamesh.
"So every action of yours brought me here, every blow I made was all anticipated by you" spoke Thor surprised, "Even though I had superior raw power you tricked me into doing what you wanted and bringing me here. The battle was decided before it even began"
"Exactly. The moment you challenged me you had already been defeated" proclaimed Gilgamesh seriously: "Are you angry?" asked Gilgamesh curiously.
However what Thor did surprised Gilgamesh, he laughed.
"Angry?! Of course not, you won fairly, using your intelligence and cleverness, there is no reason for me to be angry" said Thor cheerfully before looking at Gilgamesh
"I, Thor accept my defeat King of Heroes" proclaimed Thor before facing Gilgamesh: "But next time I will win" said Thor to Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh smiled as he dispersed his chains and the tension was gone as all the Norse shouted in joy at the battle they had witnessed.
Some Time Later.
Soon after the battle Gilgamesh and Thor both returned to Valhalla as everyone celebrated the memorable battle they had.
After some time of celebrating Gilgamesh, Sebas, Enkidu and Valerie stood in front of Odin.
"Hein Odin" called out Gilgamesh as the God turned his attention to him.
"Gilgamesh, brat of storms, that really was an amazing fight you had with my son" said Odin as it had been a long time since he had seen a fight of such a level.
Gilgamesh smiled a little at that.
"So what do you think of Valhalla?" he asks.
"It's amazing! Definitely a place I would want to go if I died" Gilgamesh says honestly.
"I'm glad you think so! What do you think do you think?"
"Amazing" said Sebas.
"Excited" said Enkidu
"It's exhausting" says Valerie honestly.
"Hahahahaha for a young girl like you with your friend, I bet it would be" Odin laughs.
"Anyway, Odin, thanks for letting us see this place, but we have to go home now. I promise to come back and visit!" Gilgamesh promises and Odin just nods.
"Yes, I can imagine you guys must have what, just don't forget to visit. Especially you my friend" Odin said as he pointed to Sebas.
They all smiled before disappearing into a magical circle.
Seeing that his guests had disappeared, Odin went back to his business.
...
...
A few hours later, just before bath time, Freya returns to the table of the gods. They all look at her confused, shocked and intrigued as they want to know what happened behind closed doors with Gilgamesh.
Dressed in her clothes from before, although her hair is disheveled and out of place as if she didn't bother to groom herself after having sex, she marches straight to Odin with determination stamped on her face and a sparkle in her eyes.
She blasts her power, causing everyone to be instantly quiet and she turns to Odin, who has a small look of confusion on his face.
"Odin, I want a divorce."
(FLASHBACK END)
...
...
Several Days Later.
Gilgamesh's home, Kuoh City.
It had been several days since Gilgamesh had returned from his trip to the Youkai Faction and his meeting with Yasaka, Kunou and Amaterasu as well as his battle with Tetsuo.
After that Gilgamesh returned to Kuoh with a peace agreement signed by Amaterasu and Yasaka where the Youkai Faction would become allies of the now Four Factions.
After that the days passed normally as there wasn't much to do.
The vacations had arrived at Academy Kuoh and everyone was having their own plans, for all Gilgamesh knew the demons planned to return to the underworld.
It was likely that Gilgamesh would accompany them due to the Young Demon Gathering taking place and also the possible alliance between the Four Factions and the Nordic Faction.
Currently on a large plain with many trees created by Gilgamesh, being a dungeon, it was possible to see a little training taking place.
Swords, spears and axes, the most varied weapons were falling from the sky onto the battlefield generating immense shock waves.
The targets of these legendary weapons were the most diverse creatures that appeared from the shadows and tried to attack their enemy only to be crushed by the weapons.
When the dust had settled it was possible to see that on one side stood Gilgamesh with his arms crossed over his chest and a serious look on his face while several golden portals of the [Gate of Babylon] were open behind him in a state of waiting.
In front of Gilgamesh was a short, dark-skinned boy with grayish blue hair and purple eyes, he wears a gakuran with a long coat over it.
It was Leonardo the Longinus [Annihilation Maker] user who was breathing heavily with the training he was getting.
Since Leonardo had joined Gilgamesh's group the King of Heroes had been training the boy personally to improve his control over his Longinus.
