- Location: nearby Yam ha-lah / Al Bahr al Mayyit / (Dead Sea).

Pov. Third-person.

The Dead Sea is well known to mortals due to the almost absence of life in its waters, which results from a large concentration of salt.

About ten tis higher than other oceans.

But it wasn't just that...

The people who lived close by obviously knew that this 'sea' was not a good source of resources. However, there was a river that flowed into the Dead Sea that had resources such as fish and drinking water.

The river had its source on Mount Hermon, crosses Lake Hule, and then flows to the Sea of Galilee, only then to empty into the Dead Sea.

That river was the Jordan River.

For the people who lived nearby, this was one of the rivers that were essential for the existence and prosperity of settlents.

Although... The Dead Sea was still considered a place that should be avoided at all costs by mortals.

But it wasn't just for lack of resources...

The reason was simple.

This sea was ho to a creature that ravaged the region.

The creature was described as a mighty seven-headed serpent that issued fire from its mouth and brought chaos and death to everything around it.

For the supernatural world, this creature was not classified as a simple 'serpent', for the other supernatural beings, this creature was feared for being sothing else...

A dragon.

And not just a low-ranked dragon, but a dragon king.

Although in the present ti there were several dragons with the rank of king, it was more of a title of sorts.

The reason for this was quite simple actually...

There was a consensus in the supernatural about the race of dragons.

They were represented as one of the most powerful creatures and they represented power, after all, they were created from large masses of energy and acted freely and selfishly.

Although they are considered free-spirited creatures and act according to their desires and ambitions, it is a fact that they have a sort of ranking within the species.

After all, if they are creatures that represent power, then they are creatures that only respect one thing...

Power.

Officially, the ranking of dragons was divided into a few rankings, so of which were:

- 'Low Class' dragons are represented by dragons considered to be the 'weakest' and are strongly linked to the elents. The Fenegrad-species Earth Dragons are a good example.

- 'High Class' dragons are technically the strongest dragons among the lower class... But with more skills and raw power. The Earth Dragon of the Gakia and Araba species are the most common examples.

These two ranks are the lowest as well as the most common found in the supernatural world...

And then there are the dragons of a certain rank that impose 'order' and 'respect' on both Lower Class and Upper Class dragons.

King Class.

Currently, they are:

- Tiamat.

The Chaos Karma Dragon, and the strongest 'King Class' dragon. Even after her battle with Enlil, which split Tiamat's power in half forever, she was still considered the strongest 'Dragon King'.

- Yamata-no-Orochi.

The Penance Dragon, the 'King Class' dragon that is about to belong to the other rank due to its habit of demanding sacrifices.

- Quetzalcoatl.

The dawn dragon is also recognized as a deity by its pantheon... In addition to being a confrontational maniac and great defender of humans.

And then there are the dragon king brothers of the seas, who shared the sa territory.

- Ao Guang, the eastern sea dragon.

- Ao Qin, the sea dragon of the South.

- Ao Run, the sea dragon of the West.

- Ao Shun, the sea dragon of the North.

And these brother dragons were living in a territory quite close to another dragon king.

- Vritra. The Prison Dragon, and Indra's sworn enemy.

There was also the youngest dragon to achieve 'King Class':

- Tannin, the teor Dragon.

Another dragon king would be the only dragon that lived in the far north of planet earth:

- Jrmundgander, the Sleeping Dragon, the biggest dragon in existence and called the 'Dragon of the End', as well as having as its greatest characteristic its 'personification'... The weight of the world.

This king lived in peace and tranquility in the north of planet earth, until sothing happened to make him disappear. In fact, no one knew where Jrmundgander was now located.

The supernatural world was alard that the 'King Class' dragon that represented the weight of the world seed to be hiding from sothing...

Or soone else's.

And finally, the last known dragon king.

- Lotan, the dragon of fury. Considered the most mysterious dragon of all.

Besides the 'King Class,' there was another class that was known as another title among dragons.

Evil Dragon.

A title that was reserved for those dragons who are considered the most vicious and brutal of all dragons, all being dangerous battle maniacs who want to destroy everything, including themselves.

Nihggr was one of the few dragons to hold that title.

The 'King Class' dragon, Yamata no Orochi, was almost gaining the title of 'Evil Dragon' and losing the previous title of 'King Class' due to recent actions of taking pleasure in mortal sacrifices.

That was a brief summary of dragon rankings and titles. But then there was another thing this race had that almost threw the power ranking 'out the window'...

The danger was due to the creation of the dragon race.

One cannot simply concentrate large amounts of unstable energy and expect no side effects to occur.

The 'dragon's wrath' was one such effect.

It is a serious mistake to enrage a dragon of any level, be it a Lower-Rank or Higher-Rank Dragon, as it can cause destruction and mayhem.

Lotan was a 'King Class' dragon.

The Dragon of Fury.

Easily irritable, and does not like to be disturbed.

So it was common knowledge that Lotan was hiding sowhere, and avoiding being bothered by anyone.

The dead sea was their resting place.

And no one in their right mind would be foolish to anger the fury dragon.

" ~Drownin' worms and killin' ti

Nothin' too ambitious

She ain't even thinkin' 'bout

What's really goin' on right now

But I guarantee this mory's a big'in

And she thinks we're just fishin'

She's already

Hmm, what was the next part?" soone questioned, in a small canoe, with a fishing line.

It was Thor.

The Norse god had been there for so ti, waiting for the hook of his fishing line to catch sothing.

The thunder god was fishing in the dead sea due to legends from the people who lived in that place about the seven-headed serpent.

But it was already getting tedious.

And his songs were already running out due to mory loss.

In fact, the mory loss itself was bothering Thor, for the simple reason that it was weird.

Do not misunderstand...

It was not a strange thing for the gods to forget things, if they have no association with knowledge, it was considered normal.

Even because the gods were like humans to a certain extent...

The gods are hungry, they can be deceived, they are angry, they love, they hate, they have sexual desire... And just like a human being who forgets sothing in a short ti, the gods forget things as the years pass.

Thor still rembered much of his childhood in Asgard, not all of it, but just the important parts, like when he t Hel, Fenrir, and others... as well as his fun ti on tgard.

It was the one from his previous life that was fading most quickly and completely.

It was like a written sheet turning into a blank sheet.

Soone was erasing his mory.

Thor knew sothing was wrong.

But, as Thor had so knowledge about runes, a temporary solution was made.

A mory rune that was invisible and located on the back of his neck, which had a function similar to a pensieve, to protect his remaining mories.

But while it may have saved so parts of the mory of his previous life, not everything was saved.

For Thor, this was no coincidence.

Soone has erased his mories of his previous life.

And if there was anyone that Thor was suspecting, it was the cycle of reincarnation.

After all, reincarnation was sothing that occurred in the supernatural world with so beings, humans being an example.

But gods?

It wasn't necessarily considered 'reincarnation', but rather 'avatars', which was basically a weaker version of the original body.

Avatars functioned as new bodies for the gods.

Vishnu was well known for using avatars to interact with humans. When the avatar was 'born', the original body went into a kind of 'coma' until the avatar's death.

Although they are two different things, both processes were under the jurisdiction of a single being...

"...Samsara, when I find you, top 10 or not, you'll have so explaining to do with ," said Thor, whispering with a frown.

As Thor thought about Samsara's possible action, ti passed faster than expected.

Until night ca.

"You know what, I got tired of waiting!" shouted Thor.

At no ti did Lotan 'take the bait'.

If Lotan doesn't want to leave peacefully, Thor will force him to leave!

The Norse god then raised his fist and pointed towards the sea and shot lightning.

The seawater glowed blue until the glow disappeared.

*Splash*

"ROOOARR"

A creature's roar resounded through the night on the black sea.

It was without a doubt, Lotan.

Thor just looked at the creature...

And he remained silent, the norse god seed to be thinking about sothing as he faced the 'King Class' dragon.

That's when the seven-headed serpent looked in Thor's direction and stared at the Norse god.

"Are you a god who dares to awaken us? Are you not afraid of death? After all, I've killed many gods who dared to bother , but you seem calm... Have you accepted your fate?" asked one of the heads, with a curious tone.

Thor, however, gave an answer that sent a shiver down the 'King Class' dragon's spine in fury.

"I may seem calm... But in my mind I'm choosing the best way to kill you, too many options you know?" asked Thor, with a sarcastic smile.

Lotan was obviously infuriated by the arrogance shown by Thor.

Little did the fury dragon know that it wasn't arrogance...

It was confidence.

"You will be just another god I will kill!" roared Lotan, launching himself towards Thor.

Thor took out Mjolnir, which was attached to his belt, and lifted it with just his right hand.

"Co to 'Loot'! I will made a new purse out of your skin to give to Hel for her birthday! Hahahahahaha!" said Thor.

For a brief mont Lotan was confused.

What is a purse?

But that thought soon faded when the battle began, and then a shock wave followed, as well as an earthquake, scaring most of the people who lived nearby.

The people who lived nearby didn't know what was happening, they just thought that so god was in a bad mood and was taking out his wrath on the land.

When in fact, Thor was just...

Looting?

- Location: Uruk.

Pov. Third-person.

Only a day had passed since Thor's departure in search of Lotan, and Gilgash and Enkidu's departure in search of the creature of the cedar forest with the face of a lion.

Huwawa.

It was not late in the morning that the city of Uruk saw its king, returning victorious from his journey.

"Gilgash! Gilgash! Gilgash!" cried the people of Uruk, who received their king who carried the decapitated head of what looked like a lion.

"Fuhahahaha! Can you see that Enkidu?! It's like I told you before, that's how n achieve immortality... By glorious deeds!" said Gilgash, shouting at the end as he raised the monster's head for the people of Uruk to see.

Enkidu, however, looked uncertain.

"I don't know Gilgash... I think the gods may seek retaliation" said Enkidu.

Gilgash soon looked at Enkidu, confused.

"But it was you who told to kill Huwawa," said Gilgash.

Enkidu promptly replied.

"Although I ca up with the idea, it is you who are disrespecting the creation of the gods as if it were a trophy," said Enkidu, a little annoyed.

In a way, Enkidu could relate to Huwawa.

Although the creature is the son of Hanbi, an evil god, the creature had a mission given to him by Enlil himself to protect the forest from the cedars.

Just like Enkidu, whose mission was to preserve the balance between n and beasts, as well as stop the tyrannical rule of Gilgash.

For Enkidu, he and Huwawa were servants of the gods.

Although Enkidu agreed to kill Huwawa, he disagreed with bringing the monster's head as a trophy.

"And you wanted us to just bury the creature and give up our chance for our nas to be eternal? aningless! I promised you that even if death defeated us, I would make sure that we would never be forgotten!" said Gilgash, with conviction.

Enkidu just sighed in resignation.

Although he managed to change Gilgash, so behaviors of the forr tyrant were still perpetrated.

One of them was pride.

If Gilgash made a promise, he would fulfill it... No matter the ans necessary.

Gilgash had promised Enkidu that they would be immortal according to human limits, and that was exactly what the king was doing.

With the death of the terrible Huwawa at the hands of Gilgash and Enkidu, the king of Uruk was sure that no one would forget their nas for millennia.

"So, has Thor returned from his own journey yet?" asked Enkidu, looking at Gilgash.

Gilgash responded promptly.

"Although Lotan is said to be a creature of the sa rank as Huwawa, it has beco quite known for slaying gods and is one of the feared but mysterious 'King Class' dragons. Perhaps our friend might need our help, although he shouldn't, after all, since he's my friend then he must be strong enough" said Gilgash.

Enkidu seed to stare at Gilgash in disbelief.

After all, the king's logic was simple...

If he's my friend, then he must be strong.

But though Enkidu wanted to speak, he thought of Thor and the clash between them that demolished Uruk's palace.

Enkidu, being part animal, fully trusted in one thing.

His instincts.

And during the confrontation, Enkidu's instincts soared when he was fighting Thor.

But because of the result, which virtually all of Uruk's people believed was a draw, Enkidu knew one thing...

Thor didn't fight seriously.

In fact, Enkidu believed that Thor was just having fun.

Enkidu kept that thought from Gilgash, as he didn't want to see the people Enkidu ca to call friends fight again.

It was then that Enkidu and Gilgash approached the courtyard of the rebuilt palace and saw sothing that surprised them...

Thor.

Sitting on a severed head of what appeared to be a giant water snake.

The Norse god smiled at the sight of them.

"I thought you guys would take longer, I've been here most of the night," said Thor.

One day.

It took a day for Thor to travel to the predicted location, locate Lotan, fight Lotan, kill Lotan, and bring back his head as a prize.

And there was still plenty of ti.

"Fuhahahahahaha! As expected! But tell , my friend, where did you leave the rest of Lotan's body?" asked Gilgash, curious.

Thor then looked away, before answering.

"Well... Let's just say the rest of the body isn't in good shape," said Thor.

- Location: Yam ha-lah / Al Bahr al Mayyit / (Dead Sea).

Pov. Third-person.

Yishaq was a simple man.

He obeyed the rules created by his father and the father before him from the beginning of his family, and the rules were simple:

- Honor the gods.

- Love your wife.

- Defend your ho.

But Yishaq wasn't prepared for what he was seeing...

"By the gods..." whispered Yishaq, in disbelief.

The man ca to the Dead Sea the next morning to investigate, for in the night the sky roared and shone like never before in the place where according to legend was inhabited by Yam's servant.

But when it arrived at the place.

There was nothing else.

Literally.

The sea that once existed was no longer there.

Though it could be seen that the river was continually bringing water to the site.

But there was sothing else.

In the center of where the sea was, there was a carcass that was more like a bloody 'pulp'.

The reason the carcass looked like a 'giant pulp' bathed in blood was simple...

The carcass was crushed.

It was crushed to the point of looking like a re stain on the earth.

" Baal be praised," said Yishaq, in awe.

- Location: Uruk.

Pov. Thor.

Upon my return from my small 'loot' I left the head outside my storage location for practical reasons.

The parts of Lotan's body that I didn't destroy ended up being placed inside my storage collar, which was upgraded during my stay in Uruk.

Unfortunately, one head didn't fit and I had to carry it.

It was sohow funny to see the people of Uruk reacting to as I carried Lotan's head with one hand.

However, it made want to upgrade my storage space on the necklace again.

This ti I'll leave a space of 5,000 m, it should be big enough for anything I want to store.

I was currently attending the feast in the rebuilt ballroom of Gilgash, along with my party.

It was then that I was caught by Hel, who looked at .

"How was your adventure, cousin? Did you find what you were looking for?" asked Hel curiously.

Sincerely?

"...Yes" I replied.

I will make good use of the loot.

But... I was a little disappointed.

I honestly expected more from soone who held the title of 'King Class' dragon.

There is little ti left for my group to travel... But this ti I will go alone.

There was only one thing I wanted here.

Adapa's skeleton, which must still be preserved sowhere buried in these lands.

What I want to do is sothing simple.

Gods can bring things to life if they have the right items.

Create a human? It was child's play.

But to create sothing else?... Well, that depends a lot on the resources.

I want to create a being capable of protecting my land while I am away.

Fenrir is my guard dog.

But Fenrir cannot effectively guard my house if he has to probe the territory around my house.

Then I will create soone capable of that.

And as a creator, I already have a good idea of what to do, and I have a perfect na.

I will call my future creation...

Igris.
