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

These are the words that best describe their relationship.

Thor looked around, his gaze returning to China and the Soviet Union, slightly unfocused.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhong Su asked, puzzled for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise as if he had just realized something, "Really? You don't actually have anyone worth your effort?"

Otherwise, how could we have seen him on the Sino-Soviet border?

They had only known each other for a few days.

Thor was taken aback by what he was told and scratched his head awkwardly.

Surprisingly, his preconceived notions about China and the Soviet Union have gradually faded, and he now thinks that China and the Soviet Union are actually quite nice guys.

Although very arrogant and unruly.

But he wasn't much different; they seemed to be kindred spirits.

Especially these past few days, we've gone through quite a few crises together.

The Sino-Soviet duo were just a bit sharp-tongued, but otherwise impeccable.

Leaving aside the reason why I'm teaching him here now, let's just talk about what happened just now.

It should be noted that China and the Soviet Union initially planned to act as "power banks" during the battle, taking the brunt of six heavenly lightning strikes to provide them with power.

However, he failed to seize the opportunity.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to suffer the pain of being struck by lightning; ultimately, he can only blame himself.

"Don't look at me, we're not familiar with each other." Zhong Su waved his hand.

For some reason, a scene involuntarily came to his mind.

When Thor was exhausted from fighting his enemies, he would shout their names and unleash his thunderous power in his quest for strength.

It's just so awful no matter how you look at it.

Especially since this guy looks like a homeless person now, with dirty, messy hair hanging down his cheeks.

It looked like a strong wild boar that had just rolled around in the mud.

Thinking of this scene, Zhong Su's body trembled involuntarily.

Whose twisted sense of humor is this?

Thor had no idea what Zhong Su was thinking, but looking at him, he sensed a hint of fear on Zhong Su's face.

Who could make this guy afraid? Thor had never seen Zhong and Su show such an expression in the past few days.

He scratched his head and said, "Don't overthink it. As a prince of Asgard, I have my own beliefs and my own ties."

The image of Odin, his father, flashed through his mind.

Although their time in exile was miserable, and although they had a huge fight.

But a father is a father, and in Thor's heart, hatred is a far cry from the sentiment he feels; at most, he harbors some resentment towards Odin for banishing him.

And now, even that little bit of resentment has dissipated in the midst of the tumultuous relationship between China and the Soviet Union.

“The source of your power is not a rootless duckweed. Although three bolts of heavenly lightning are not many, I can feel the power within your body. The outburst of emotion is simply to unleash the power you already possess.” Zhong Su quickly spoke, skipping over the topic.

"The power I always had..." Thor stretched out his hands, clenched his fists, and said with a hint of self-admiration.

“A kind of idealistic power that originates from within oneself,” Zhong Su affirmed, as if he had thought of something.

"Strong people look inward to find themselves. It's that simple. That's all I can tell you."

The conversation between the Chinese and Soviet leaders carried a hint of disdain.

He realized that Thor was a blockhead.

Normally, in his understanding, any profound principles related to power are simply a matter of whether or not one can comprehend them.

Once you understand it, you will immediately comprehend it, and the power you crave will flow like an endless spring.

This is what demons are like.

Even Westwood, who had previously endured the most intense torment of hell, was no exception in the world of Fairy Tail.

Although absorbing magic power relies on the magic book forged from the remains of a black dragon, the analysis itself is entirely his own doing.

With almost no delays or difficulties, he could instantly understand even the most powerful magic, even spells from another world.

This is the demon's talent.

But it's clear that Thor doesn't possess that talent.

“You must be a student who causes your teachers a lot of worry,” Zhong Su sighed.

Thor was already used to the barbed words in his speech; he let them go in one ear and out the other.

“I have never thought of myself as stupid,” Saul retorted in a low voice, glancing at China and the Soviet Union.

He suddenly became very curious.

How strong were the Sino-Soviet ties in the past?

Even though they were both controllers of the Thunder, the other party could easily and strategically guide him.

What exactly did this guy do to be banished by his brother and reduced to the same status as him?

At this thought, Thor's eyes lit up.

It was his turn to fight back.

"What are you thinking?" Zhong Su stared at Thor suspiciously; this guy couldn't hide anything on his face.

“I’m thinking,” Saul coughed, “that although you call me stupid, perhaps I really was stupid enough to have been banished by my father…”

"Hmm?" Zhong Su hummed softly.

"So, I'm just curious, someone who always calls himself master and is as powerful as you must have made a huge mistake to end up in the same situation as me."

Thor stared at Zhong Su and spoke.

"What mistake did you make? Why don't you tell me? After all, I've already told you about my situation."

Saul was convinced that China and the Soviet Union had always been a difficult thorn in their side.

Upon hearing Sol's words, Zhong and Su frowned involuntarily.

His face darkened, and he refused in a low voice, "I have no obligation to share."

“Don’t say that, I was just saying it,” Thor persisted.

"Looking back now, Father must have been disappointed in me. And you, you madman, who have you disappointed?"

After saying that, Thor felt a subtle ripple in his heart.

Sometimes, understanding happens in an instant.

It only takes a single sentence to say it.

What he didn't know was that when he said those words, the old man was practically bursting with tears of joy.

Chapter 431 The Reason for Forgetting

"I really have to thank you."

Odin looked at Zhou Lan across from him with a serious expression.

Zhou Lan was moved by what she saw on his aged face.

“What a brilliant idea! Putting your brother with Thor has actually had this effect…” Odin exclaimed with admiration.

His idea was incredibly simple.

Thor...

How did this thing suddenly become so intuitive?

At first, Odin even suspected that he had been possessed, but who could possess Thor right under his and Zhou Lan's noses?

It can only be attributed to his chemical reaction with China and the Soviet Union.

"Using bronze as a mirror, one can straighten one's clothes; using people as a mirror, one can understand one's gains and losses. It's nothing more than that," Zhou Lan said calmly.

This was also his hope for Sino-Soviet relations.

Saul had thought that his bold rebuttal would anger both China and the Soviet Union.

After all, this is the same pain they all share.

He was even prepared to run away at any moment.

But China and the Soviet Union did not; instead, they fell into a state of deep contemplation.

"Disappointed...?" Zhong Su lowered his eyes and murmured to himself.

He fell into thought and reminiscence.

The things he did when he left hell, the things that angered Zhou Lan.

Did he really disappoint the elder brother among his siblings?

The answer is simple, otherwise he wouldn't be here.

At first, Zhong Su was extremely indignant on his behalf, and he even questioned Zhou Lan about whether he was protecting the Holy Lord.

But looking back now, it's impossible that Zhou Lan treated every demon this way; perhaps this older brother had his own preferences.

But it's absolutely impossible to treat him, the Thunder Demon, unfairly.

It seemed that China and the Soviet Union had figured something out.

He recalled the “stumbling” retribution he received the previous night when Saul mocked Zhou Lan’s image.

He suddenly realized.

His elder brother is in this world right now, watching over him!

He had always known this, but he had never thought about it in any particular direction.

If it were simply for the purpose of exile, Zhou Lan would have no reason to waste time here keeping watch.

There was one last brother in hell, Xiaofeng. Compared to himself, Xiaofeng was undoubtedly a much easier guy to get along with.

But Zhou Lan is still here.

Needless to say, his very existence in this world signifies something...very important.

However, he and the Soviet Union had always intentionally or unintentionally overlooked this.

With a sigh, Zhong and Su suddenly came to their senses.

His slightly unfocused eyes looked towards the distant sky; he knew that Zhou Lan was watching him from somewhere unseen.

He just can't sense it yet.

“I understand that my challenge to the Holy Lord has disappointed you, but, but…” Zhong Su murmured in a very low voice.

"I can now confirm that it was definitely not out of personal venting or anything like that..."

As he spoke, Zhong Su suddenly clutched his head, a look of pain crossing his face.

He was trying to find the reasons for his actions.

Clearly, his wisdom and memory had returned somewhat with his power, but it seemed as if there was still an insurmountable barrier between them.

He was now absolutely certain that his challenge to the Holy Lord was not simply for venting his anger, or for some kind of arrogance or revenge.

But suddenly he couldn't find a reason to support his decision.

That damned hell affected him, plunging him into confusion and distress.

Zhong Su covered his head, his eyes bloodshot as he looked up at the sky.

“Even now, I still don’t think I did anything wrong, Zhou Lan, it’s just that I’ve forgotten my reasons…”

“You all think I’m a thunderbolt ready to explode at any moment, and that’s hell’s fault, we all know that!”

"I will definitely find the reason for that disappointment, I definitely will!"

Zhong and Su had red eyes and were breathing heavily.

He forgot something very important; he couldn't remember it.
