Gilgamesh in DxD Chapter 254

Thor took the punch to the face and was forced to step back as the earth giant's fist struck him.

Before Titan could react the God of Thunder held his hand while earning a huge smile.

Swinging his mighty war hamr Thor struck Titan with all his might causing Titan to be totally crushed by the power of the Hamr of Thunder.

Preparing to move forward after defeating Titan the God of Thunder was stopped when several pillars of red flas erged from the ground incinerating his entire path.

Thor had to retreat as the flas hit his body burning his skin, looking forward he saw the source being Ifrit the Lord of Flas who had his hands outstretched as he released torrents of flas.

Increasing his divine power even more Thor forced the flas to dissipate and aid his Mjolnir at Ifrit hurling him at the Fire Avatar who was launched flying and destroyed by the power of the Thunder Hamr.

Before Thor could retrieve his hamr he sensed the danger and turned his gaze back and was stunned by what he saw.

An imnse wave of water, a gigantic tsunami hundreds of feet high crashing over the battlefield with Leviathan at the center of it controlling it.

All Thor could do was be thrown violently by the wave that dragged the Gods with supernatural force.

Even within the imnse wave Thor could see that Gilgash was totally unhard when the wave didn't hit him.

Extending his hand his mighty hamr Mjolnir instantly returned to him and Thor tried to fly out of it, but was stopped when his body was bound by water serpents.

Leviathan swam into the water with unmatched speed and drove his fangs into Thor's neck, who roared with fury trying to hit the serpent.

Even as Thor's hamr crashed into the serpent all it did was cause Leviathan to turn into water and reform.

She was water itself personified, even if her body was destroyed she could regenerate herself infinitely, for she was an avatar of the elent itself.

Seeing that he had no other option Thor released his imnse divine power causing Leviathan and the water to drift away as he flew out of the whirlpool of water.

Out of the water Leviathan tried to follow Thor, but the God of Thunder unleashed an imnse bolt of lightning that resounded in the sky and crashed into Leviathan, who, being made of water, was electrified and sent back into the water.

The sky shook as lightning and thunder surged everywhere drawing Thor's attention.

For it was not he who created that lightning.

Looking back Thor saw that Ramuh, the Avatar of Lightning was standing in the sky with imnse lightning bolts dancing on his staff.

Swinging his staff the lightning avatar rained his lightning down upon Thor who with his hamr hurled his own lightning at the lightning sage.

The shock was colossal as they flew all over the place while both were in a montary stalemate.

However Thor quickly lived up to his title of God of Thunder when he summoned an even bigger Lightning bolt and fired it at Ramuh who had no way to defend himself and was launched flying backwards.

But Thor had no rest when a huge tornado with waves of ice was hurled at him causing the God to retreat as the tornado's winds cut through his skin and the ice froze him at the sa ti.

Looking back to the origin Thor saw Zephyr, the Air Avatar and Shiva the Ice Avatar combining their powers to create a storm of tornadoes and blizzards trying to engulf the God of Thunder.

Roaring in fury Thor summoned his mighty warhamr and launched against Zephyr who as she was too focused on the tornadoes could not dodge and was destroyed by the power of the hamr.

Raising his hand Thor summoned an imnse bolt of lightning, Mjolnir was never the source of the origin of Thor's powers, he simply channeled and released it.

However Thor himself could create lightning, albeit on a smaller scale.

Launching the imnse lightning against the Ice Avatar who could do nothing but wait to be destroyed.

Thor reached out his hand making his hamr return as he breathed heavily.

The battle was being much more grueling than Thor expected, although Gilgash did not have as much raw power as Thor the King of Heroes continually attacked with his powers without giving Thor a chance to strike back.

Looking at the King of Heroes who was standing above the water Thor saw that he was also breathing breathlessly, it seed that he had expended a lot of stamina to keep these Avatars in the world.

But although he was tired, both Thor and Gilgash were having absurd fun with this battle.

But in any case the battle would not extend for long.

"I am surprised that you don't attack by surprise" Thor spoke to Gilgash.

It was surprising that Gilgash had not attacked him while he was busy dealing with the Avatars.

"It wouldn't be very honorable, attacking a distracted warrior" said Gilgash making the God smile.

"So now that I have beaten your elental slaves will you fight directly?" asked Thor as he clenched his hamr.

Gilgash simply smiled.

"Who says you killed them?" asked Gilgash causing the God to widen his eyes.

All of Gilgash's Avatars reappeared, Ifrit erged from fire, Leviathan from water, Titan rebuilt himself from earth, Zephyr remade himself from air, Shiva rebuilt himself from ice and Ramuth created himself from lightning.

"As I said, they are avatars of the elents, they cannot be killed, the only way to beat them is to beat " said Gilgash smiling.

Thor simply smiled, "Then that's all I have to do" said Thor as he raised his hamr.

Suddenly the world changed.

It was the croaking of crows, as if a flock of them had suddenly appeared just to look at the world. To witness and contemplate. To record and write history.

Why did it suddenly rain?

Why did the lightning and the thunder suddenly roar with the force of an impassable storm?

That answer was found at the center of the series of unnatural events.

Uruz, the force of will.

Hagalaz, of hail, destruction and chaos.

Tiwaz of Victory.

The Norse runes spread nacingly across Gilgash's eyes in a dark blue over the steel surface of the hamr of the God of Thunder, further imbuing him with the kind of strength that could not have been wielded by mortals.

It was the power of heavenly thunder. Of strong winds and gale force that ripped the very warmth from the skin, leaving nothing but icy husks reminiscent of the work of the ancient horde. The Frost Giants.

It was a hamr known to have slain countless legendary foes in myth. Its mallet was larger than the handle itself, threads of lightning rising through its tal surface.

A tool of war.

The Avatars of Gilgash tried to approach it in every possible way, but even they were having difficulty approaching the epicenter of the storm that was Thor's divine power.

Thor realized that only with his current power will not be enough, to defeat Gilgash and his Avatars he would need to use the full power of his mighty hamr and his divinity, he would need the true power if Mjolnir, sothing he has not done since the war against the ice giants.

For any God to unleash his true power against a mortal might have been considered an insult, but for Thor he would never feel offended by it.

For even Thor recognized that the man in front of him was a monster.

A monster capable of standing against him, Thor himself, the God of Thunder.

Gilgash knew that beating Thor would be tricky, and the biggest problem was Mjolnir.

To rival Mjolnir Gilgash could throw all his treasures, but to the honorable God of Thunder, Gilgash would wield his own weapons.
