I have this mental fanfiction that every god has a way to be killed, and when you kill them you can get things from them.

For instance, the one that I refer to the most often is Ben Franklin using a kite and a key to slay Zeus and to steal electricity from him.

And then of course there’s Prometheus who intentionally and willfully laid down his own life so that humanity could have fire.

But there are more gods than there are words to describe them.

What other gods have we claimed existed, that we humans have likely slain, and what do you think we got from them?

    Pretty much, except you’d need a really really really tall house for one of the gods to fall off of.

      You’d better hope that they don’t have a Ring of Featherfall/Levitation, or have some other means of teleportation/flight too, because Gods won’t help you if you screw it up and they survive lol
