Capítulo 89: The End of Gorr?
A/N: Pat-reon: HelloDarkness07
I need to say something, which many of you won't like. I'm slowing down the upload speed to one chapter a week, because I write this fic very slowly. The plot has gotten a bit tougher to figure out, recently, which is why I focus more on the Mason Aves fic.
I have no current plans of abandoning this, or the Mason Aves story, but if I do, I'll inform you all before I completely abandon it. I still have 8 advanced chapters on Pat-reon, and I'll start writing another one today, if my mind permits.
Thank you for waiting patiently. Thank you. Now, read on!

Gorr, the God Butcher. He was finally here. More than 5000 years, it has been, since I'd seen him finding the All Black, and now, he's finally here. On Induk, my planet, aiming for the Death of all Gods.
I definitely take an exception to that.
As soon as I teleport to Jormungandr's location, I see Gorr stabbing a dagger, one I recognize to be the exact one I made for Vali, down towards the back of Jormungandr's head. Speeding forward, I momentarily push my Magic into my arm to enhance its strength, and punch Gorr's chin.
The force of the punch breaks Gorrs neck, and he goes flying into space. But, I know that he will heal soon enough, and return.
Turning my head down, I see Vali slowly healing. Thank Queen, I had Enchanted every weapon to not inhibit Magical healing for the Andalok Gods. That would have been embarrassing, dying by your own weapon.
Turning towards a somber Jormungandr, I say, "This enemy is beyond your strength, Jormungandr. I'd appreciate if you retreat to Andalok."
Jormungandr nods, still sad, and says, "Aye. I realize that I've made an error in judgement. I thought I could take him, but he's far more than I can handle."
I pat his shoulder, and say, "Do not worry, Jormungandr. You still have a lot of power to grow into. The title of the Strength God isn't for show, you know. You'll have to train, and one day, you will become one of the strongest beings in the Universe."
Nodding, Jormungandr fixes his Warhammer on his back, and picks Vali up. I create a portal for them to walk through, taking them straight towards Manasi and Narfi in the Throne Room.
Note to self, put up a healing chamber for us Gods.
As they disappear from Induk, I look up and take a couple steps back, dodging the dark black sword that was aiming to split me in two, top to bottom.
Summoning Anugoptr to my hand, I swipe at Gorr from left to right, but his AllBlack sword blocks it without much issue.
"And who are you supposed to be? I didn't know this planet had more Gods again." Gorr asks, putting pressure on his sword.
I hold my own against him with my spear, and say, "My name is Theos, the Elder God of this planet, and the current Skyfather. And you're the God Butcher, Gorr."
"How do you know that?" Gorr says, annoyed, a few black tendrils getting loose from his robe to attack me.
I summon the flames from my Throneworld, burning the tendrils away from me, and kick Gorr away as he's weakened by the Light of my Magic flames. As he starts getting up, I say, "I was warned of your eventual appearance, Gorr. Now, I'll give you one chance. Get off my planet, and I'll leave you alone."
Not bloody likely, but I do have an image to keep. A Nature God is supposed to be pacifist, right?
Gorr snarls in anger, and reabsorbs his sword into his robe. Barehanded, he runs towards me with his hands on his side. I run towards him, not wanting to give him any advantage, holding my spear in my right hand.
He punches down at my cheek, which I lean to avoid. I stab my spear at him while leaning, which he slaps away with the disturbingly durable robe. He then tries to knee my stomach, but I raise my own knee to block it. I then punch my left hand towards his face, which he once again slaps away with the robe.
Only this time, I notice that the robe was moving on its own, and not at Gorr's prompting. This Gorr is strong, strongest of all the enemies I've fought yet, excluding the Knull infested Celestial. But he didn't have experience fighting Gods as strong as me. Elder Gods. But the damned Robe was getting in the way of my winning.
As Gorr and I exchange punches and kicks, I try to gain an advantage, quite unsuccessfully. He was fast, and his All Black was Troublesome. I was stronger, and faster too, but nothing I did stuck on him. I'm not using the Power Stone or my Celestial form on one such as this one. That was reserved for Celestials, Knull, and anyone above that level.
My spear was thankfully unharmed, my enchantments and the metal doing their jobs, as he would summon a weapon or two in between to catch me off guard. And I was keeping my eyes wide open, not letting him gain the upper hand.
After about half an hour of fighting continuously, we both are still unharmed, thanks to our respective healing factors. But I can feel, that the more I got cut, the more his strength increased, and the slower I healed. He was absorbing some of my power with every cut. I had to finish it quickly.
Our fight had already destroyed a lot of the beautiful landscapes of this part of Induk, and I was no closer to defeating him than I was in the beginning.
A few minutes later, I manage to land a cut on Gorr's cheek, and trip him by kicking the side of his knee. Taking advantage of the minor distraction, and once again increasing the strength of my right fist, I drive Anugoptr straight through Gorr's chest.
I lift him up by the spear, and throw him into the air. As he goes flying, I estimate where he's going to fall, and teleport there to deal with him.
As he comes towards me, I raise Anugoptr into the air and summon a storm right above. Lightning thunders, as I focus on my magic, Gorr still falling towards me. As Gorr is about to land on me, completely healed and ready to attack, I bring the spear down with a snap.
My spear absorbs all the lightning from the skies above as it comes down, and cuts through the extended sword of Gorr, and through his shoulder, cutting his left arm clean off.
"AAARGHG!!" Gorr yells in pain, after losing his hand.
The lightning storm still above us, I call down a few bolts of Lightning straight on top of us. One by one, 9 Lightning bolts land on us, leaving me unharmed, but Gorr twitching, bordering on the realm of unconsciousness.
The All Black was still healing him though, so I once again raise Anugoptr and prepare to behead him to end this once and for all.
"How?" Gorr croaks out, and then asks a little clearer, "How does this planet still have Gods?! I made sure to kill every one of them!"
Hold up. I stab Anugoptr in Gorr's heart, once again stopping his healing.
"You killed the Gods of this planet? How long ago?" I ask, knowing that I'll regret this sooner or later.
Gorr chuckles, blood pouring out of his mouth, and says, "Thousands of years ago. Or is it millions? I don't know, time travel isn't something I'm used to yet."
"Explain." I order, removing my spear and stabbing it down once again, only this time, I twist it after.
And Gorr howls in pain again. He yells, "I WAS ALREADY IN THE PAST, DON'T KNOW HOW FAR! I saw this planet, felt it good enough for the centre of my empire, and I killed them all. Hundreds of Gods died by my hand, Theos, the Elder God! Just like you and your family will! If not now, then in the future. You will all die at Gorr's hands!"
It is only then, that I notice that my legs were completely black, having been infected by the All Black.
He bloody distracted me with the truth!
Surprisingly though, I don't feel the corruptive presence winning. Instead, I feel something else.
There was something in me, something too pure, but similar to the All Black, that was fighting the corruption. It wasn't my Cosmic Energy, nor is it my magic. It is just.. something else. And it was winning, while slowly getting stronger.
"What?! How are you not my Berserker yet?!" Gorr yells, terrified into shock, but still not able to get up, thanks to my spear pinning him down.
Smiling, I realize that my mother Madonna was still helping me, even thousands of years after her death.
Taking Anugoptr in my hands, I force my Lightning through it, and burn Gorr to a crisp, from the inside, listening to his sweet screams.
But, that's still not enough to kill him, no. The All Black is a tough nut to crack.
With the swing of my spear, I cut off his head, and create a portal to the sun above us. With the twitch of my hand, the head and body of Gorr fly through the portal, and into the centre of the sun, to burn for all eternity, or remain trapped.
And then, I suddenly find myself pacing back and forth, in the hallway outside Chhaya's room, along with Scathach. This.. is wrong. Why am I here?
Scathach was saying something, but I don't listen, my focus being on my body, which was entirely spotless. No scratches on my armour, no sweat permeating my body, and no blood covering my face from the many healed cuts I suffered at the hands of the All Black.
Even Scathach didn't have the scratches, or cuts in her clothes, that she had when the Black Berserkers attacked.
Panicking, I turn on my Echolocation, and look for everyone. Manasi and Vali were in the Throne Room, kissing quite scandalously, while Narfi was roaming around Andalok. Alone. Jormungandr was on Induk, floating safely in its skies.
"..os? THEOS!?" Scathach yells in my ear, finally making me turn to her. Seeing my wide eyed look, she asks, "Are you okay?"
I turn towards the room behind me, and try to use Echolocation, failing at it.
"What the fuck?!" I whisper, horrified over what had just happened.
Did I just dream all that? A Vision? No, I know when it's a vision. This… was not it.
"Theos? What happened? What's gotten you so scared? You know your child will be okay, right?" Scathach asks, putting her hand on my shoulder, and looking worried.
Turning back to her, I hold her by her shoulders, stare into her eyes, and say, "Scathach. You won't believe what kind of bullshit I've just been through."
