Kaizen versus Thor (Part 2)

"Thor... you fought with honor," Kaizen said, his voice firmer than he had expected. "But this battle... isn't over yet, is it?"

Thor shook his head, his blue eyes shining with a mixture of weariness and respect. "No, Kaizen," he said, his voice echoing like gentle thunder. "It's not over yet."

Kaizen felt a surge of adrenaline coursing through his body, his heart pounding furiously in his chest. Exhaustion weighed heavily on his muscles, but his resolve was unshakable. He gripped the spear tighter, feeling the wood and metal pulsate with the psychic energy he had channeled.

The celestial hall around them seemed frozen in time. The gods and goddesses watched in awe, their eyes fixed on the two combatants. The white marble columns gleamed in the light of the rays that still danced across the open sky above, creating an atmosphere that was both majestic and ominous.
