Chapter 1317: Chapter 1317 – The Forgotten God
Thor looked at the figures outside the door. The people who could arrive in such a short time were either the residents in the apartment building or the small bosses who were doing business downstairs.
In addition to the old woman who was buying vegetables, Thor also saw the boss of the pancake shop, the cashier he met when he was buying water from the grocery store, and the two elementary school students playing with ants downstairs, the total number of people had already exceeded 60. Considering that it was still working hours, there should still be a portion of people who had not returned. It was possible that this building or even half of the street would be filled with them.
Seth sighed. “I told you earlier. Can’t you sit down and have a good talk with them? Don’t be so anxious to punch them. You’re going to get into trouble this time.”
Thor was unmoved. His cold gaze swept across everyone’s faces.
“All of you are gods? Why haven’t I seen any of you before?”
“Because we are the forgotten gods,”the owner of the Pancake Shop said. As he said this, the crowd gradually made way for him and let him into the room.
“Forgotten Gods?”Thor frowned.
“Not everyone has such good luck as you, Thor, son of Odin.”
“Do you know who I am?”Thor asked in a deep voice.
“It’s very difficult for a famous person like you not to know. After all, you are everywhere in all kinds of literature on TV,”the owner of the Pancake Shop said lightly.
“Haven’t I asked Your Name Yet?”
“That’s not important. Even if I tell you my name, you won’t know it. In fact, not many people in this world still know my name.”

“Well, I don’t care what your name is. If you know what’s good for you, hurry up and hand over Sif.”After Thor said this, Muriel flew in from the window and landed in his hand.
Thor’s Aura was even stronger after he held the hammer. Although he was alone, he was not at a disadvantage when facing the sixty people. No, it should be said that in terms of aura, the sixty people were completely suppressed, even if they were all together, they could not compare to Thor who was alone in the enemy camp.
Even if they had almost surrounded Thor, the chicken was still the chicken. Even if they surrounded the tiger together, it did not mean that they had the upper hand, some people could not withstand the terrifying power that Thor was exuding and could not help but take a few steps back.
The contempt in Thor’s eyes was even more intense. Fortunately, the owner of the pancake shop was able to withstand the pressure.
He did not answer Thor’s question, but continued to speak, “We have more or less been glorious for a period of time. Of course, we are not as famous as you Norse gods. However, at least in our hometown, there are still many believers. We even have our own temples. However, due to various reasons, we can not escape the decline in the end.”
“I didn’t come here to listen to your stories,”Thor said impatiently.
“Son of Odin, aren’t you curious about what the gods will look like after their fall?”
“I know what the gods look like after their fall. I have many friends who have experienced their fall or are experiencing their fall, including myself. I’ve been extremely weak before. It’s not a secret.”Thor sneered.
“No, I’m talking about the real… fall of the gods. Not many people still remember your name, the fall of the gods that was completely forgotten by the world,”said the owner of the pancake shop. “Just like us now.”

“We can only live in such a shabby small building. In order to pay the rent, we have to get up early every day and go to the supermarket to buy temporary special food. We have to carefully collect all the discount information and count every penny we have. We can’t even afford to turn on the air conditioner in such a summer.”
“Just like those mortals?”
“Oh, if that’s really the case, that would be great. We don’t have ID cards, so we can only forge fake ids. Our original appearances are all foreigners. Fortunately, some of us can use illusion to help us change our appearances. That’s why we can barely settle down. However, we can’t take the high-speed train or the plane. We can’t even find a proper job. We can either work illegally or open our own small shop. We also have to give most of the profits to our partners. We can only stay at the bottom of society forever.
“Most of us don’t have any relatives or families we can rely on. Otherwise, why do you think we’re gathered here? Isn’t it because Tu can take care of us?”Another person in the crowd said, “The city security, the scoundrels in the city, the security guards in the neighborhood, anyone can bully us. And this isn’t the worst part.”
The man’s tone became even more agitated as he spoke, “The worst part is that as time passes, our strength is still declining. Not only do we look older and older, but it is also becoming more and more difficult to maintain our original bodies. This is the reason why we all look disabled and extremely ugly now. What’s worse is that some of us are starting to have mental problems. The better ones are just forgetting a lot of things from the past and can’t remember their own names. The unlucky ones are like old Zheng’s daughter. She has completely gone mad and doesn’t know anyone. She will crazily attack anyone who gets close to her. So Old Zheng can only lock her up with iron chains and cages.”
Thor glanced at the old woman who had been kicked to the ground by him. He didn’t know how many of the old woman’s bones had been broken by his kick, but she was still trying to crawl to his side with one hand.
“I apologize for my previous recklessness.”Thor’s tone seemed to have softened a little, but it soon became tough again, “But I came here to find my wife. A bastard told me that you kidnapped her, or at least, you know her whereabouts.”
Seth, who had been quiet and obedient before, noticed Thor’s unfriendly gaze on him, and he immediately showed an innocent look.
Fortunately, the next moment, he heard the owner of the pancake shop say, “We do know her whereabouts.”
“Then tell me quickly, where is she?”Thor couldn’t help but be overjoyed.
“I can’t tell you,”the owner of the Pancake Shop said without hesitation.
Thor’s face turned cold again when he heard this. This time, he didn’t say anything, but the miel Neil in his hand trembled slightly, as if it was the precursor of a storm.
However, the owner of the pancake shop didn’t seem to see the killing intent in Thor’s eyes, “If you want to know the whereabouts of your wife, you need to help us do one thing first. Don’t worry, this matter isn’t difficult for you at all, and it won’t take up any of your time.”

Risen
Note: Slight edits to early chapters (and removal of one chapter - previously chapter 2) have been made 2/2/21 The city, my city, had once been alive in a way that was hard to describe. Thriving, active, hopeful. Vibrant. But life, as I had come to learn, sometimes possesses only the most tenuous of grasps. Finally, in the end, it became my city - mine alone. I was, after all, the only one left. Worse, it was entirely my fault. There was red in my ledger that could never be wiped clean. Not while I still lived, anyway. This story follows Eran, a man who became the opposite of everything he had ever wanted to be; in a world where superpowers began to appear in a rare few, his lack of control over his own power relegated him to the role of a terrible villain - the Reaper, named so for the countless lives that he absorbed and made his own, each only furthering his deadly lack of control. Gone mad with guilt and isolation, he strove for a single heroic act - his own demise. Death was less permanent than he hoped. Centuries later, he woke to a changed world and in a body not his own. Unfortunately, his power came with him. Yet this time, things would be different. This time, he had a chance to bring it under control. He could never truly make up for the things he had done; he could never achieve redemption. That wouldn't stop him from trying to be a hero. Cover courtesy of the amazing Vitaly S Alexius, author of Romantically Apocalyptic. Go check him out!
