But now Thanatos could clearly feel his power constantly draining away.

Thanatos tried to struggle, but found himself powerless to resist.

Even moving was difficult, let alone mobilizing the power of death and soul energy to heal the injuries.

Thanatos couldn't understand why he, the mighty Grim Reaper, could be wounded to such an extent by a mere blade.

Is it just because of the knife's unique shape?

Zicomo noticed the confusion in Thanatos's eyes.

He asked, "I find it puzzling why this knife would work on you?"

"Why?"

The feeling of powerlessness over his body made Thanatos unable to even speak coherently.

Zicomo explained, "This knife is called the 'Hunter's Finger Knife,' and it was made specifically to kill gods, or even beings above gods."

Thanatos asked haltingly, "Why...do you have...this thing?"

“That’s not something you need to know,” Zicomo said, waving his hand. “Anything else you want to ask? If not, you can get going.”

Thanatos then asked, "How...did you...get...close to me?"

Zicomo waved behind Thanatos.

Lani removed her invisibility cloak and tossed it to Zicomo.

Zicomo took the cloak and waved it in his hand.

He asked Thanatos, "This thing should be familiar to you, shouldn't it?"

Thanatos never expected that it would be his former invisibility cloak.

He suddenly regretted it; wouldn't it have been better to give that human something else in the first place?

Why hand over your cloak?

So much so that now someone is using his cloak to kill him.

"Spare me... I can... swear a soul oath... to be at your... mercy."

Thanatos's voice grew weaker and weaker.

Zicomo approached Thanatos and removed the hood from His black robe.

A skull face appeared before Zicomo's eyes.

Thanatos's appearance was exactly as Zicomo had expected, after all, the legendary Grim Reaper had a skull face.

I just don't understand why a skeleton's weakness is its heart?

However, Zicomo didn't care about that.

He told Thanatos, "Sorry, you don't quite fit my aesthetic. So, ugly, no thanks."

Zikomo took out an invisible mass and placed it in front of Thanatos.

“As per the oath, I return the power of death to you,” Zicomo continued, “but it seems you won’t need it.”

"Goodbye... no, farewell forever, Thanatos!"

Lani instinctively pushed the 'Hunter's Finger Knife' forward a little further.

The power capable of killing gods erupted completely within Thanatos.

Thanatos stared wide-eyed in despair, then finally lost his breath and collapsed to the ground.

Zikomo drew his Darkmoon Greatsword and stabbed Thanatos twice more to ensure Thanatos was completely dead.

(Thanatos: You want to desecrate my corpse after I'm dead? Is that any kind of manners?)

Then Zicomo pulled Lani aside and gave her a big hug.

He praised, "My little princess is amazing! Thanks to you, 810, we were able to kill the gods so easily."

Lani was taken aback by Zicomo's sudden action.

Two blushes crept onto her previously calm face.

She said somewhat shyly, "If the king hadn't drawn His attention and made Him shrink, I wouldn't have had the chance to attack Him."

"If you really want to count it, half of this is thanks to the king."

Zicomo laughed and said, "We're already an old married couple, why bother with all the formalities between us?"

It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it, because the moment he did, Lani's smile faded slightly.

She looked up at Zicomo and asked, "Since we're already an old married couple, why doesn't the King share a bed with me, and instead often goes to see Hermione?"

"Could it be because the king dislikes me?"

Zicomo's smile froze.

Even though he knew that his relationship with Hermione might have already been exposed.

But he didn't expect Lani to bring this up at this time.

However, this is not something to be ashamed of.

"I'm sorry, I ignored your feelings."

Zicomo reached out and gently stroked Lani's hair, then said, "I didn't mean to look down on you, I just hadn't found the right opportunity."

Chapter 319 The Difference Between the Black Knife and the Hunting Finger Knife, Rodrika's Arrival

Lani breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that Zicomo did not despise her.

She told Zicomo, "Any time is a suitable opportunity, as long as the king is willing."

Lani's words touched Zicomo's heart.

She probably didn't even realize how damaging her words were to Zicomo.

Zicomo even had the urge to immediately carry Lani into the "Zen Garden".

However, Zicomo suppressed his impulse.

Zicomo nodded and said, "I understand. We'll talk about this when we get back."

"Now let's deal with Thanatos's body and finish the cleanup."

(Thanatos: I thank you for remembering me! Making love next to my corpse, how dare you!)

Lani nodded, stepped out of Zicomo's arms, and stood beside him.

Zikomo came to Thanatos and placed his hand on his corpse.

He then activated an ability called 'Gold Absorption'.

The so-called 'Golden Absorption' is actually the name Zicomo gave to his own characteristic that originated from the Golden Tree, which allows him to absorb power and use it for his own purposes.

Its symbolism is that the golden tree draws in everything.

The black power of death seeped into Zicomo's body through his hand.

It also contains two streams of red and blue energy.

That is the life and soul energy of Thanatos.

Zicomo was surprised to find that Thanatos, who had been killed by Lani, still had these two energies within him.

Could this be a characteristic of deities?

Zicomo extended his mental energy to examine Thanatos's body closely and discovered the strangeness of his body.

His current state is equivalent to the death of his soul but the immortality of his body.

The divine body, in turn, locked up the collapsing divine soul.

Lani did kill Thanatos, but she only killed Thanatos's soul imprint.

If Zicomo had left Thanatos's body alone, it might have developed a new soul imprint on it years later.

At that time, a new Grim Reaper will be born.

Zicomo suddenly felt relieved that Melina wasn't with him today.

If it were Melina, Zicomo couldn't guarantee what Thanatos would be left with after being infused with the Black Blade of Destiny.

It is known that 'Golden' Godwin was turned into a soulless demigod by this black blade.

Lani also lost her divine body due to her destined death.

It is clear that a preordained death can completely kill a deity.

Unlike Lani's 'Hunter's Finger Knife,' which seems to only erase the soul imprint of gods.

Zicomo suddenly remembered the two-finger who had been killed by Lani.

After Lani obtained the 'Hunter's Finger Knife,' she tested it on Manus...

When Zicomo found Lani, he was very curious as to why Twofinger had not returned to the Golden Tree even though he was already dead.

Looking back now, the state of two fingers at that time was probably similar to Thanatos now, right?
