Ordinary Alliance Gods who wanted Domas to forge divine artifacts naturally had to queue up obediently.
But that clearly did not apply to Thor.
Relying on his powerful physique, Thor barged straight into the inner circle of the crowd. He casually slapped Domas, who was busy at work, on the shoulder and asked, "That armor I had you forge last time—was it finished yet? Two hundred years ago, you said it would be ready for delivery."
