Zongman: All Heavens and Worlds Begin with the Devil's Curse

The Chinese and Soviet leaders walked silently toward them and sat down at the table with an air of authority.

After a long while, a sharp pain startled Thor awake from his unconsciousness.

He felt like a drowning person suddenly bursting out of the water, sticky and gooey.

He was met with dim lighting, and for a moment he thought he had been captured again and was being interrogated in some dungeon.

But in sight, a burly man carrying a barrel of wine walked away.

The pain returned, and Thor clutched his shoulder, gasping for breath.

He glanced at the bar owner, who looked unfamiliar, and saw him approaching with medicine and gauze.

"Hiss—, damn it, where am I?" Thor exclaimed.

“This is my bar, young man,” he said.

"How did I get here?" Thor racked his brains.

He heard a burst of cheers from burly men, as enthusiastic as if he were watching a ball game.

They were among the world's top teams, and a bunch of people were cheering for their favorite team.

He thought about it for a while.

He unleashed his divine power, eliminated those roadblocks in the underground black market, then parted ways with China and the Soviet Union, and that was the end of it.

He lost a part of his memory.

The boss sat down opposite him, calmly pushed a glass of mixed drink towards him, and gestured towards the noisy crowd nearby, saying, "That guy brought you here."

As he said this, a strange light flickered in the boss's eyes.

Thor looked in the direction he was gesturing, his gaze passing over the densely packed crowd, and then he saw a scene he would never forget.

He sat silently at one side of the table, while opposite him was a muscular, burly man.

Two thick arms clenched into fists in the center of the table, and a group of people cheered excitedly.

"Take him down, Brian!"

"Damn it, let's show these pretty boys what we're made of!"

"This is……"

Thor fell silent, a rare occurrence.

The owner smiled and calmly approached, explaining, "Not long ago, that guy carried you into my bar, but he didn't have any money, so we made a bet."

He placed the medicine and bandages on the table and smiled, "If he can take down ten of them, I'll treat your wounds."

Thor was taken aback by what his boss said.

His gaze swept unintentionally across the crowd; every single one of them was a strong man capable of lifting a cauldron.

Their bulging muscles were glistening with sweat, and each of them looked like a tough guy who could pull a cart with his bare hands.

He pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't, only asking, "How many is this?"

"The last one! Otherwise, why do you think they're so excited, haha!"

The boss exclaimed excitedly, "This guy is about to take down all my tough guys, fuck!"

This is a wild place, Thor could already feel the atmosphere.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

He just stared blankly at the twisted veins on Zhong Su's forehead.

Chapter 415 I Need Your Help

As night fell, a cool breeze blew.

After leaving the bar's sweltering atmosphere, the air became noticeably colder.

Two figures walked silently down the street.

Thor followed behind Zhong Su, silently glancing at the bandaged wound on his shoulder. The shopkeeper's technique seemed quite good; Thor even wondered if he had been a doctor before.

Or perhaps that bar was actually a hideout for underground gangsters, and the owner was someone who treated the injuries of gang members who couldn't go to the hospital.

His technique was incredibly professional.

“You should take me to the hospital,” Thor shouted at the figure ahead.

"Sending an injured person to a bar? What kind of absurd thought process is that?"

Saul grumbled, feeling that his stereotypes about China and the Soviet Union were entirely accurate.

This is absolutely an extraordinary madman.

What kind soul would take an injured and unconscious person to a bar?

But the problem is, he was actually dealt with properly.

Given his strong physique, his treated wounds will naturally heal in no time.

China and the Soviet Union have always been straightforward and honest people.

He didn't turn around, nor did he bother to criticize Saul. He simply said emotionlessly, "The hospital you mentioned is a dangerous place."

"I don't like owing people favors, so this is how I repay you, but..."

Zhong Su paused for a moment and stopped walking.

"Seeing how ungrateful you are to your master's care, I should have let you sleep on the street and then be thrown away as trash."

"..." Thor fell silent, unsure of what to say.

In any case, China and the Soviet Union did help him, and in a way, saved his life.

It's hard to imagine whether he could stand up the next day after lying on the street in this godforsaken place for a night.

What's more, this place is near a bar, and there are plenty of drunkards with hangovers. Thor tensed up and dared not think about it any further.

China and the Soviet Union continued to move forward aimlessly.

Facing the dark and low streets, the brightly lit skyscrapers in the distance resembled giants radiating a faint light, exuding an indescribable sense of oppression.

Neither China nor the Soviet Union had any idea where they were going.

He no longer tries to analyze his own mind or his actions today.

He just wanted to find a way to regain his strength, no matter how difficult it was.

Two sets of footsteps sounded, one after the other.

The Chinese and Soviet leaders stopped again, and one of them turned around and asked, "Why are you following me?"

Saul also stopped, seemingly choosing his words.

Logically speaking, he should be a heartless guy, otherwise there wouldn't be any mocking comments about him supposedly abandoning his child and raising the placenta instead.

But looking at the slightly swaying figure in front of him, even if Thor was heartless, he would find it hard to say anything as harsh as parting ways.

Even he might not be able to arm wrestle with ten muscular men while in a weakened state.

But China and the Soviet Union succeeded, so he didn't need to sacrifice anything for himself.

“In the past, you should have knelt before me, servant…” Zhong Su began, but then his tone shifted, tinged with a hint of melancholy.

“But now, I don’t have that power anymore. It’s gone from me. I have to go and get back what’s mine. Saving you is my last act of kindness.”

"Get out of here, you bugs!" was the last thing the Chinese and Soviet Union said.

Upon hearing Zhong Su's harsh words, Saul was not angry at all. Instead, he quickly walked up to Zhong Su, the two of them being almost the same height.

As if struck by a sudden thought, Thor declared confidently, "I saved you once, and you returned the favor. Now we're even."

The Chinese and Soviet leaders stared at him with puzzled looks, but remained silent.

“But,” Thor said seriously, “I think you’re a pretty good guy now. You’re a bit crazy, but surprisingly decent. I’m willing to share some things with you.”

"Share what? Your weakness? Insects?" The Sino-Soviet exchange remained merciless.

But Thor just scratched his ear, not taking it seriously.

"Perhaps we are somewhat similar. I was banished from the realm of gods to this place by my father, and all the power that once belonged to me left me. But I believe he will not abandon me..."

"Perhaps soon I will be able to return to Asgard, which is my territory. If you also want to regain your lost power, why not come with me? Even if you can't regain it, you can still stay in Asgard."

“I am willing to share my glory and power with you, even though they have not yet been revealed.”

"Whether you want to be my subordinate or not, I forgot to tell you, I have a few followers, and they are all doing quite well."

"I have never been anyone's follower." Zhong Su was somewhat angry.

“Oh, oh! Then let me put it another way, being on the same level as me is not bad either, how about it?” Thor quickly said.

“Although you’re a bit crazy, I’d rather deal with someone like you than my brother,” Thor said, extending an olive branch.

"I am the prince of Asgard, and in the future, all of Asgard will be my territory," he said confidently, spreading his arms.

"There's another place called Jotunheim, where frost giants live, but those guys are really annoying. Or you can stay there after I've wiped them out."

"Although there are still some difficulties now, as my brother has usurped my position, it will be fine as long as we deal with him."

Saul was planning his grand scheme.

But China and the Soviet Union simply listened quietly.

"It sounds like you're trying to recruit me," Zhong Su said expressionlessly. "No one can recruit me."

“No, recruit? Of course not!” A glint of light flashed in Thor’s eyes.

He now thinks that China and the Soviet Union are actually pretty good guys.

It wasn't just out of sympathy for each other.

Rather, there are many other reasons.

Since being banished to the human world, he has lost many things, not just his power.

But in that bar just now, when he watched Zhong Su silently take down the tenth burly man, he felt he had found something.

The feeling was subtle, but it was a hundred times greater than the chaos he and his warrior followers had caused in Jotunheim.

Although Zhong Su's words sounded like they were laced with knives, Thor was now able to understand them.

As for insects, mortals, and servants, just let them go in one ear and out the other.

His skin had become quite thickened through the upheavals of the mortal realm, though sometimes the veins would still throb faintly when he heard such things.

But at least not now.

He already knew how to get along with China and the Soviet Union.

Both men were fierce and ruthless, but whenever one of them pretended to yield a little, the other would always display the magnanimity of a god or a demon.

When he saw the Sino-Soviet Union, Saul always felt like he was looking in a mirror.

The other party's arrogance, and everything he did, were all actions he was capable of taking.

He felt he could learn something from the Sino-Soviet conflict.

However, neither China nor the Soviet Union had discovered it yet.

"I need your help. Perhaps in the realm of gods you can regain your lost power. The chances are much higher than in this godforsaken place."

Chapter 416 Are You Not Thinking Clearly?

After going through all that.

Saul confessed everything to the Chinese and Soviet Union.

He revealed his identity, and even the power he once possessed, to the gods of Asgard.

For no other reason than that he is a straightforward guy, and now that he believes China and the Soviet Union can get along, he will be frank with them about everything.

As for whether or not they were willing to help him, that was a matter between China and the Soviet Union.

However, Sol's words undoubtedly carried another layer of doubt to the ears of the Chinese and Soviet Union.

“They are so similar…” Zhong Su stroked his chin.
