Gorr staggered as he walked deeper into the oasis, but suddenly tripped over something, his palm cut by a strange metal shard on the ground.
However, what surprised him was that not a single drop of blood flowed from his cut palm, and it even healed rapidly!
"Thanks to God Rapu's grace!"
Gorr, still devout, thought this was a gift from the God he worshipped.
He knelt, holding the necklace around his neck, and prayed in thanks.
At the center of the oasis, a triumphant God Rapu was joyfully celebrating his success in finally killing the host of the Black Death Sword.
Many years ago, this fellow suddenly appeared from somewhere, wielding the divine weapon known as the Black Death Sword, slaughtering Gods everywhere.
Later, they learned that the Black Death Sword could devour the blood of Gods, making its host even stronger.
However, fortunately, the previous host of the Black Death Sword was severely wounded during a battle with some unknown entity, and God Rapu took advantage of the situation, becoming the hero who killed the Black Death Sword's host.
"The Black Death Sword must be destroyed! It can no longer be a weapon to harm the Gods!"
God Rapu searched around the corpse for a long time but found no trace of the Black Death Sword.
That was because the Black Death Sword possessed a partial self-awareness; the moment its host died, it autonomously retreated into the Shadow World.
Unable to find the Black Death Sword, God Rapu could only vent his frustration on the pile of fruits in front of him.
At this moment, Gorr smelled the fragrant aroma of the fruits, and in a few quick steps, he rushed forward, his eyes only on the food, picked up a piece of fruit, and began to eat it heartily.
"Look who it is?"
"I don't remember inviting you to join this feast."
God Rapu, who was eating fruit, was displeased to see a frail mortal dare to eat his food without his permission.
Upon hearing this, Gorr finally snapped out of the food's temptation and saw Rapu, the God of Light whom their generations had worshipped.
Immediately, Gorr hurriedly put down the fruit and prostrated himself before God Rapu.
"Great God of Light."
Gorr bowed low, holding the necklace from his neck in his palm before him, to show his faith.
"Oh! Look, it's even My worshipper."
Rapu said disdainfully to some flower and plant spirits nearby.
"Rapu above, I am Gorr, your last worshipper in this World."
"My Master, we have lost everything; it hasn't rained in this World for a long time, rivers are dry, land is barren, and living beings are suffering, but we still have not given up our faith in you, only hoping that one day you will fulfill the grace you once promised."
"My Master, are you celebrating this now?"
Gorr naively believed that God Rapu, whom he worshipped, had finally heard their prayers and was preparing to bring hope to this World!
"Hahahaha!"
"This foolish fellow actually thinks he can receive My grace."
"You stinking dogs, you are not worthy of My grace. I am celebrating that I have killed the enemy of all Gods, the host of the Black Death Sword. No one can threaten the rule of the Gods anymore!"
God Rapu laughed mercilessly as if he had heard a funny joke, even throwing the finished fruit peel in his hand at Gorr.
"But, My Master, your divine realm has been destroyed, and I am your last worshipper!"
"From now on, no one will revere you anymore!"
Gorr held onto a last shred of hope, wishing that God Rapu would take pity on this Planet and on him.
"Hahaha! Other worshippers will replace you in the future, there always will be."
God Rapu didn't care about this at all.
"But, My Master, we have suffered so much, even my wife and my daughter, they all died, and it was all for you!"
Gorr cried out, somewhat broken.
"Isn't that what you should do? To offer everything to your God, including life, and even soul. They should feel honored for it."
"Because the meaning of your existence, you low-class mortals, isn't it to suffer for your God?"
"You died, and that's it; nothing will be left."
God Rapu had no pity whatsoever; as a high and mighty God, he exists eternally. Worshippers, as long as there is life, new ones will always emerge, so he didn't care about this at all.
"You are not worthy to be called a God, I despise you!"
With that, Gorr tore off the necklace from his neck and threw it heavily on the ground.
This action completely enraged God Rapu.
In his eyes, only they, the Gods, could abandon mortals, but if mortals dared to betray their faith in them, then it was an unforgivable capital offense.
So, God Rapu flew up and directly grabbed Gorr by the neck.
"Now, you vile life, you have finally found the meaning of your existence, which is to sacrifice everything to Me."
God Rapu's eyes were filled with ferocity.
At this moment, Gorr finally understood that they, these mortals, were nothing in the eyes of the so-called Gods.
God Rapu, whom they had worshipped for generations, had never intended to bestow grace upon them from the very beginning, and never cared about their lives or Deaths.
At this moment, Gorr's reverence for the Gods completely died!
And a voice suddenly echoed in his mind, "If you seek revenge, slaughter all Gods, summon the Bifrost Bridge, and seek Eternity!"
Gorr could feel a mysterious power calling him.
And from the shadows on the ground, a long sword, as black as ink, slowly rose, its hilt falling into Gorr's hand.
Gorr instinctively gripped it!
Then, without any hesitation, Gorr directly stabbed God Rapu in the neck with the sword.
Golden divine blood splattered, but it seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, ultimately devoured by the sword.
God Rapu clutched his neck and said in horror, "The Black Death Sword chose you, you are cursed!"
However, Gorr didn't care about God Rapu's words; he felt great now!
The power that came from within instantly strengthened his body.
"How ridiculous, I don't think this is a curse, but a promise. I swear, I will use it to slaughter all Gods."
At this moment, Gorr's eyes had completely changed, no longer holding the former piety and weakness.
Wielding the long sword in his hand, he directly beheaded the God of Light he once worshipped.
The golden blood was instantly devoured by the Black Death Sword, and a portion of it was fed back to Gorr.
At this time, in a remote corner of the Universe, on a Planet named Klyntar, countless Symbiotes suddenly felt a sensation.
A power they feared was truly awakening!
And in the Arctic glaciers of Earth, a Symbiote giant dragon, encased in ice, suddenly opened its eyes, but soon closed them again.
Hundreds of meters away, there was also a figure in a star-blue tight-fitting combat suit in slumber, with a round shield with star-blue stripes beside him.
