"So what do you think? 5 seconds…" I asked looking at Thor's hammer. All the gods were lined up taking turns to lift it.

Zeus smiled as it was his turn, "I won't need to be timed."

With these words he stepped forward and gripped the handle, the large hammer shaking under the grip.

Zeus gritted his teeth as his muscles bulged, veins popping out of his skin.

"Hmm…" I hummed while smirking, so much for not needing to be timed huh?

Zeus, after an hour or so, finally gave up on lifting the hammer, only managing to move it from its original spot.

"I guess it's my turn!" I yelled out getting everyone's attention.

I already knew most of these gods were trying to figure me out, not only was I only supposed to be a simple angel, but I was also different from my brethren.

Having black wings instead of White also threw them off, man I loved confusing people.

"Hmm It's definitely heavy, But I want it," With these words a large smile came to my face as I gripped the handle.

With the sin of greed I grabbed the hammer and lifted it up, taking it as my own.

It was still Thor's weapon but now it would also answer to me, now all I needed to do was get other godly weapons to recognize me as their owner.

I already had The Mandala, Now Mjollnir, my next target? Zeus's lightning bolt.

Dropping the hammer I shook my hand, acting like I was tired and was only able to hold it for a few seconds.

If the hammer didn't recognize you as it's master you wouldn't be able to hold it. Now this was only true unless you were very strong.

The only weapon I knew that was similar was The Monkey Kings staff, which relied on pure strength to lift.

"Thor I must say… It really is heavy! Truly only fit for the strongest haha."

With these words I left the hall, giving the other gods their chance to lift it.

"Going somewhere Lucifer?"

Sighing I looked behind me with my hands behind my head, a small smile on my face as I tried not be nervous.

"I'm just feeling a little tired after handling Thor's weapon like that, is it alright if I go rest Jade Emperor?"

I hated asking for permission for doing something so basic, from being a cold blooded killer to basically a servant wasn't exactly the change I had expected when entering this world.

The Jade Emperor's expression never changed, always that dumb smile with his eyes closed, that was probably the most annoying thing about him.

"Oh? That's perfectly fine then, but I must ask you to organize a small team of around 2-3 gods to venture into a new realm after you are all rested, of course you'll have full access to your brethren, slaves should be used after all."

Gritting my teeth a little as he called the other angels slaves I breathed in and nodded. Right now I had no room to deny any request.

Even with my power there was only so much I could do right now, eventually I would become much stronger and break away from them, until then though…

"Yes, I will get right on that," I replied before turning and walking away, an annoyed expression sitting on my face as I thought on who to pick…

——

"Well, I didn't expect so many people to want to join me, all I did was send a message to everyone… So why'd you all show up?" I asked with a perplexed expression as I saw most of the gods from the party a day or so ago crowded in front of me.

I assumed sending a message to everyone would get me guaranteed 2 gods to help me, but nah, they all showed up.

The only ones who didn't show up to specifically join me on my expedition were The Jade Emperor, who looked amused at my problem, and Mimir, who seemed to have only come due to the fact all the Valkyrie had shown up as well.

"So… I can only bring 2-3 gods…" I started seeing the crowd of powerful beings all of a sudden start looking at each other competitively.

"May I suggest something Sam? Oops, I mean Lucifer," The Jade Emperor asked, messing up my name on purpose to piss me off.

He wasn't actually asking me though, he was more telling me than anything.

"If I may… How about a competition? All of them fight until there is only five left, then those five fight you at the same time, only the last three left standing come with…"

Five gods fight me at the same time!? What the hell kinda bullshit was that!

I don't even have that good of a power, and my cheat couldn't even be used since I haven't really been training much.

"That sounds like a stupid and time wasting idea, why not each leader choose one from their pantheon?"

For once I liked something about Mimir. The thing about him is that he wasn't scared of anyone here and didn't care about what he said.

It would eventually get him beaten or taken down but for now all it did was benefit me.

"Yeah that sounds like a good idea, no need to waste time on such trivial matters."

I guess lifting Thor's hammer as well as my carefree attitude during the banquet had managed to raise my value to the other gods, even from the Chinese pantheon that conquered us in the first place.

With this The Jade Emperor, Mimir, and Zeus all had to choose a god from their pantheon to join me on my mission. Honestly the only good thing I felt coming out of this venture was the fact I now had full access to my brethren.

If I decided to leave soon I could use them as a distraction to help me get out here.

"I will be joining you on this expedition," The nine tailed fox said Bowing his head slightly, even though I could see his annoyed expression on his face.

"As will I, can't wait to get this show on the road!" A man with red skin said wrapping his arm around my neck. "Names Odin."

"I will be joining as well…" A woman with red hair said with an uncomfortable expression. She clearly didn't want to come, but I guess Zeus's influence was great.

"Then… Let's go."

With this we started the worst experience I've ever had, and it's all because I wasn't able to read the rest of the webtoon when I was alive…
