《The Rise Of A Porter 》Chapter 488: Impromptu Allies (1)

"You called for me, master?" Talos Asked Arnold who was still sitting on the floor waiting for him to arrive.
"I did. Follow me." Arnold got and led Talos back to the room where he had tortured Heimdall, and pointed at the corpse of the god, "Resurrect him."
"Master, are you sure about it?"
Talos wasn't sure it was a good idea to resurrect a fallen god. After all, doing so would mean that Arnold was essentially granting him immortality. If Heimdall was to refuse his authority then, it might cause Arnold trouble later on. That's why he wanted to make sure that Arnold actually had thought it through and wasn't making a hasty decision by doing this.
"I got it all under control. Just do as I said."
Arnold replied in his emotionless voice. In fact, Arnold's voice was probably even more emotionless than those of the automatons now. Either way, Talos got the confirmation he needed and that was it. He just wanted to make sure he had expressed his opinion, nothing else.
A few moments passed and Heimdall slowly opened his eyes. He was relaxed as if he had just woken up from a nightmare. However, the reality soon dawned upon him and he realised he hadn't woken up from the nightmare... but he had woken up 'in' the nightmare.
Talos' advanced resurrection spell healed all of Heimdall's wounds. Even his eyes, although, now they were more like normal eyes and nothing more. However, these eyes were enough to cause him to panic.
Arnold's ruthless eyes were all he could see and started frantically looking around. He saw Talos and immediately lept towards him. Heimdall knew he was the one who resurrected him as Arnold's godly powers had not manifested enough for him to resurrect someone.

On top of it, the state he was in, Heimdall knew it wasn't a 'true' resurrection. But an ability that only a master necromancer could use. Thus he knew it was Talos who had resurrected him, and he was also the one who could cancel the resurrection.
He wasn't sure if Arnold's summon could resurrect a god, that's why he was happy when Arnold finally killed him. Thinking Arnold would never be able to resurrect him and hurt him again. But he was proven wrong yet again.
"No... no. NO! Cancel the resurrection! I beg you-"
"For a god, you sure beg a lot. The title of the god of beggars would suit you more than something as fancy as the protector of Asgard." Arnold said before squatting down to Heimdall's level, "Listen up, you got two choices now. Either help me and maybe when I'm done doing what I have to, I'll grant you eternal peace or I'll chop you in pieces and kill you right now. However, it won't be the end as you'll resurrect again and I'll do the same again and again till you agree to do the former."
If someone else would have said those words to him, Heimdall would have laughed at their face. But after being tortured by him for days, he knew how sadistic Arnold could be. It wasn't wise to anger him anymore and when Heimdall thought about it, Arnold's proposal didn't seem bad at all.
In fact, if he joined up with him, he just might be able to get his revenge on Loki and Zeus for using him and abandoning him later on. And after all, was done and taken care of, he just might achieve peace.
"I... agree," Heimdall said in a calm tone while bowing down in front of his new master.

Arnold wordlessly got up and looked in the far corner of the room. There was another corpse lying there. The corpse too was once a god but now he was going to become another slave for Arnold to rule over. However, this time Arnold was actually contemplating whether it was a good idea or not.
Unlike Heimdall, Hermes was practically useless to him without his gears, that is, his shoes that Arnold had destroyed already. Moreover, he was sure that Hermes would even submit to him. After all, Hermes probably hated him just as much as Zeus did and unlike Heimdall, Hermes wasn't aware of the new side of Arnold and might not give in with just threats.
A couple of seconds passed and Arnold decided it was not worth it. At least not yet. With that, the three of them walked out of the chamber and towards an onlooking summons who couldn't believe he actually resurrected Heimdall.
"Bring me Hercules," Arnold asked everyone there and all of them rushed over to look for the demigod who had been reduced to a dog.
While they were doing that, Heimdall was left alone with Arnold there. Heimdall thought that now that they were on the same side, he should express his condolences but even before he could utter a word Arnold stopped him.
"Keep your words to yourself and don't be confused," Arnold said while briefly pointing his summons, "Unlike them, you are my slave and you don't speak until spoken to or ask permission first."
"As you wish," Heimdall immediately stepped back and waited for a few seconds before opening his mouth once again, "Can I ask you something, my lord?"
Arnold nodded and Heimdall continued, "Forgive my rudeness, but if you can have a god resurrected on your will then why didn't you resurrect your sister the same way?"
"You think I'm a fool who didn't try? Or are you a fool who doesn't even know the steps of the resurrection of a vassal? Either way, I did do everything that came to my mind but nothing worked..."
Arnold shook his head before continuing, "Nothing will work on her till I kill Loki, who was the one Nicole served. Only none of the resurrection techniques worked on her. Since I have to kill Loki either way, I decided it was better for me to do it by myself as Talos' resurrection might be incomplete even after all that. I hope that satisfied your curiosity?"
"It did..." Heimdall nodded, "What are we doing here then?"
"Gathering strong allies. That's what."
