true kratos has died, so instead he just beat the piss out of death and came back to life, v1 cant heal if someone can kill him in one hit, kratos possesses enough strength to lift mountains, he wouldn't have much trouble obliterating v1 with a sneeze, plus its not like v1 can just jump around and avoid kratos till he gets exhausted cause v1 cannot keep up with kratos, not only does he have infinite endurance due to being a god, he also can travel at or above light speed, v1 gets cooked from kratos just walking by
