"Jane was my sister''s name."


    Thor pondered for a while and said with a puzzled look on his face, "I don''t remember reading about you having a sister in your autobiography."


    Nero raised his brows and uttered, "It''s ironic how you remember all this but don''t know any information about the heavens."


    "I wonder about that too. Like, I don''t remember anything about my birth, my life as an angel. The only thing I remember is my time in this mortal realm when I was an angel; then, I became a god and made Jane immortal. Then everything is ck, and the only thing I remember is being exiled and falling down from heaven to this ind," Thor answered as he recalled his memories.


    "..." Nero couldn''t help but think about the strange connection between Thor''s story.


    ''The same thing happened with Emilia. ording to her, the vigers told her that she fell from the sky during the war. But if the gods had stopped answering the prayers, then which war did Emilia fight into?''


    ''It can''t be the same war as Thor is talking about because it happened long ago.''


    ''Emilia is a half-angel and half-human, so she shouldn''t be allowed to live in the heavens, nor permitted to participate in the ears and other heavenly acts.''


    ''So what exactly happened to Emilia, and why doesn''t she remember anything? Her memories are wiped out, not sealed. But Emilia wasn''t a fallen angel until we had sex.''


    ''Something is not adding up. My feelings for Emilia keep increasing, but are they real? Why do I feel like I have a different bond with her? Why do I feel like I have known her since forever?''


    Nero frowned his face and made amitment to himself: ''I will have to find a way to bring Emilia''s memories back.''


    ''There are many questions that I need to be answered.''


    ''Why did I reincarnate into this world? What is the curse, and who cursed me? Did it happen in my previous world? But what does it have to do with anything? Who the fuck is pulling strings here?''


    "Are you listening?" Thor waved his hand in front of Nero''s face to get his attention.


    "Where is my weapon?"


    Thor pointed his finger to the far-away end of the empty hallway and uttered, "Follow me."


    Thor took Nero to the higher ground and pointed his gaze at the shadow domain below them. The center of the shadow domain was connected through several thin white and ck marble bridges, and there was an endless abyss down the bridges.


    At the center of the shadow domain was a pedestal, and on the pedestal was a ck and silver-colored dagger that plunged into a massive skull. It was emitting a red and purple aura with hues.


    Nero sighed and nced at Thor with a disappointed look on his face: "That is not my weapon."


    "It is not?!" Thor eximed.


    "No."


    "But it was reacting to you!"


    "What do you mean by it was reacting to me? Was it calling my name or something?" Nero sneered.


    "No. It was reverberating, and its echo—" Thor suddenly stopped speaking as his eyes widened.


    "What''s wrong?" Nero followed Thor''s gaze and looked at his bracelet.


    "Why…" Nero raised his left hand and moved it in the direction of the dagger: "Why is it reverberating?"


    "The same thing happened with a dagger4 days ago!" Thor proimed.


    "Hmm~" Nero ced his hand on his chin and said with a smirk on his face, "Maybe this dagger can break this seal?"


    "You still want to break this seal?!" Thor eximed with a shocked look on his face.


    "Of course, I do. I am a demon, and I need my demonic powers to be unrivaled. Although I think I already am the strongest existence of this universe," Nero asserted nonchntly.


    Thor watched Nero''s bracelet vibrating, then nced at the dagger: "What is this dagger made up of?"


    "I don''t know. But it seals my demonic power, and it is definitely stronger than Letra shackles," Nero answered.


    "How… Did you get this bracelet?" Thor asked with a calm look on his face.


    "My father gave it to my mother, and she gave it to me before…"


    Thor smiled gently and patted Nero''s shoulder, saying, "Your autobiography had mention of how your mother died. It must be painful—"


    Nero pped Thor''s hand off his shoulder and said with a fierce re in his eyes: "Don''t touch me!"


    "Can I ask you something?" Thor asked.


    "No."


    "Your mother was a vampire, right?"


    "...." Nero didn''t answer and quietly watched the dagger.


    "As far as I know, vampires don''t have any magic power; they can only use arts. So if your mother was a true vampire, then there was no need for her to wear this because it wouldn''t have any effect on her at all."


    ''That is true. Why did father give it to mother if there was no use for it?'' Nero''s eyes flinched as he pondered about that.


    "Are you sure this bracelet is sealing your demonic power and nothing else?" Thor questioned.


    "What else would it seal? I can''t use my full demonic powers, and it affects my demon core whenever the bracelet breaks. So it must be sealing my demonic powers."


    The bracelet stopped vibrating as Thor and Nero talked.


    After some moments, Thor nced at Nero from the corner of his eyes and asked, "Can''t you leave all this heavens and gods— revenge stuff behind and live a normal life? I am sure you have found a new reason to live."


    Nero gave Thor a lifeless re and uttered in a demonic voice: "I never wanted to be against the gods or heavens. They started everything. They took my father from me, then my mother. And then they made my life full of suffering. That wasn''t enough for them, so they took everything I ever loved, andter my… she betrayed me because of a damn angel. Your gods are to me. They teach the new angels about me and train them to kill me. They fear me… and they better should! Why?! Because if they are trying to get rid of me, then I am not going to wait for them toe and attack me; instead, I will go to them and destroy every single one of them."
