Just call me Thor

Chapter 483: Golden Divine Dragon of Greed



Swearing on the name of Shadow Nine? The Core Crystal of Truth didn't buy it for a second. If that old guy had any credibility, human history wouldn't be written the way it is.

The Tower Spirit laid out its demand, "Swear on the name of Thor!"

Mike shook his head, refusing, "No way, I've sworn on my name too many times. I'm afraid I'll accidentally break one someday."

With so many oaths, if he had to exploit each loophole, it would exhaust him. Swearing on Shadow Nine's name was more economical. No need to exploit loopholes, just break the promise outright.

Tower Spirit: ...

After some back-and-forth, they reached an agreement. Mike swore on the name of Nathan, and the Tower Spirit agreed to help gather the sword energy.

It didn't take long before a white glow floated out from the Core Crystal of Truth--All the sword energy left by Ares below the thirty-second floor.

Just as Mike was about to reach for it, the Core Crystal of Truth dodged. "Let Ares take it himself," it added, "if you're not afraid of dying."

"Ridiculous, I'm not one to fear death!" Mike retorted confidently, chastising the Tower Spirit. Then he turned and called out, "Second bro, your package is here!"

Hearing Thor's words, Gabriel couldn't hide his surprise and couldn't help but ask, "Are you really Thor's brother?"

Initially, Ares wasn't interested in engaging with Gabriel. But since the question was about Thor, he reluctantly responded. "I have a godson who Thor looks after quite a bit."

"I see," Gabriel nodded slowly. With that connection, calling each other brothers seemed reasonable.

After hearing Thor, Ares strolled over, glancing at the Core Crystal of Truth. The white glow floated up, landing in Ares' palm.

Before he could do anything further, Thor had already backed away. "Second bro, hold on, I said stop!"

Mike raised his hand, trying to halt Ares, "You can keep the sword energy; my weapon is a hammer."

Ares thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "That makes sense." He abandoned his previous idea, allowing the white sword energy to merge into him, making his projection even clearer.

Just as Mike had guessed, the projection lingering in the Tower of Truth consumed sword energy to maintain its existence. Whether Ares could take this sword energy back to the abyss through his projection wasn't Mike's concern.

Gabriel, on the side, took a sharp breath, looking at Thor with newfound respect for the second time. Ares' personality was something Gabriel didn't fully understand, but he knew enough.

A powerful swordsman was always very opinionated. Once Ares made up his mind, few could change it. Yet Thor could sway Ares with just a few words?

Clearly, Thor had a unique charm.

Gabriel fell into contemplation. Could it be that this generation's potential Supreme Being of the human race was different somehow?

"Let's take a stroll." After collecting the sword energy, Ares didn't look toward the valley but instead turned to lead Mike toward the town. "Back then, I was too focused on challenging the Tower of Truth and missed a lot of scenery. It's rare to have leisure time, so I'm back to take a look."

In a previous conversation with Apollo, Mike had learned that every Supreme Being had achieved the [conquer] of the Tower of Truth. In other words, only after conquering it could one be called a Supreme Being.

Back on the thirty-second floor, Ares had defeated Gabriel with one sword, borrowed some things from the angel race, and left in a hurry. Now, recalling it was nearly 200 years ago.

Ares led the way, with Mike following closely, and Gabriel not far behind. Vladimir sidled up to Gabriel, whispering, "Get the money ready."

Gabriel looked puzzled. Money? What for?

Gabriel glanced at Vladimir. This vampire, though dirty, weak, and easily defeated... seemed different.

As Thor's follower, his identity shouldn't be that simple. Gabriel took a closer look and immediately noticed the issue. This vampire had betrayed the Blood Ancestor!

"Altered the river of blood on his own, carries Poseidon's aura, such reckless behavior..." Gabriel was surprised.

If this vampire succeeded in reaching the top, he might become the new Blood Ancestor! The prerequisite was that Vladimir had to defeat the blood clan's potential Supreme Being and take his place.

So many years had passed; who knew if the blood clan still had a potential Supreme Being?

Though surprised, that was all. The Lower Three Races weren't worth Gabriel's concern. Gabriel himself, in terms of both strength and potential, was the strongest in angel race history!

Unfortunately, he encountered Ares. Without that sword back then, Gabriel should have already entered the Temple of Truth, attempting to reach the Supreme position.

His gaze returned to the front, where Ares and Thor strolled through the empty town.

Clearly, they were in the middle of a challenge, fighting the Supreme Demon God's subordinates, with a level 999 formidable enemy nearby, and even a powerful dragon about to descend. Yet these two... were shopping?!

Gabriel didn't understand. Vladimir did. Thor's confidence and composure didn't come from Ares but from confidence in his own strength!

"There's no enemy a Thunderclap Strike can't solve," Vladimir said seriously, "If there is, then two strikes."

"When did you become so good at flattery? You should say less useless flattery and do more meaningful things." Mike turned back to glare at Vladimir.

After scolding Vladimir, Mike turned back, continuing to follow Ares. The sword energy he had gathered from the Tower Spirit made Ares' projection a bit stronger. At the same time, it

brought an unexpected effect!

The Eye of Truth provided a new prompt:

[You can attempt to Analyze the target's current state, success rate: 2.8%]

Mike discreetly chose to Analyze. He wanted to understand Ares' aftereffects to find a targeted treatment. In a way, Ares' condition... wasn't great.

[Analyze failed...]

[Analyze failed...]

The prompts popped up repeatedly, ignored by Mike. With a 2.8% success rate, if Mike could Analyze 10,000 times, wouldn't he succeed 280 times?

The two walked one after the other down the empty street. Ares spoke leisurely, "Nathan is an interesting person, much more so than Shadow Nine."

Mike fell silent again. He couldn't respond to that! Nathan, who became forbidden in the Temple of Truth, was known as the Human King.

In Mike's understanding, in Morpheus' generation, aside from Morpheus himself, Nathan was the strongest. Only Ares was qualified to comment on Nathan.

Ares continued, "You know, when I created Guardian Shadow..."

Mike: ???

"Stop, stop!" Mike's head was filled with question marks, "Second bro, Shadow Nine told me Guardian Shadow was created by Morpheus."

Mike asked the question he was most concerned about, "Why would Shadow Nine lie to me, saying Guardian Shadow was founded by Morpheus?"

"You'll have to ask Shadow Nine about that," Ares said calmly, "I haven't been back to Earth in years, how could I know what Shadow Nine's been up to?"

According to the timeline Mike knew: After Nathan ventured into the Supreme Abyssal alone, he rescued Shadow Nine and the Thunderclap Hammer.

The surviving Shadow Nine went to the Temple of Truth, found Pecker, and together they created the Shadow Fortress, the precursor to Guardian Shadow.The first mission of 'Guardian Shadow' was to protect potential Supreme Being Ares.

In a way, Ares claiming to have created Guardian Shadow seemed reasonable. But the history inventor Shadow Nine wasn't that simple!

Shadow Nine was best at using a plethora of false information to obscure the most Core, most crucial information. Mike just didn't know what that information was. This key information was so important that Shadow Nine went to great lengths to deceive him.

Mike remembered clearly, Apollo had once told him that Shadow Nine had deceived him twice! Could the Guardian Shadow matter be one of them?

"Nathan once said something." Mike noticed that when Ares mentioned Shadow Nine, his demeanor was more relaxed, like talking about an old friend. But when Nathan was mentioned, his tone was slightly serious, with a hint of sadness. Because Nathan was dead, without even the chance to become Guardian Shadow.

"Nathan said that the whole truth of this world is cruel, and for the weak, it's better to know it later." Mike was silent. Here, the weak referred to him.

In a way, Mike wasn't weak anymore. Since awakening his talent, in less than two months, Mike had grown to the combat power of a nine-star Lord.

Among potential Supreme Beings, that was considered particularly strong. The only problem

was, the enemy was too strong...

The Supreme Demon God was like a silent mountain. In front of him, a nine-star Lord was as

insignificant as dust.

"Stop looking." Ares suddenly spoke, making Mike halt.

Mike's expression showed no embarrassment, even nodding naturally, "Okay."

Clearly, Mike had just intended to use the Eye of Truth to check Ares' state, but Ares had

noticed.

"I know you have questions," Ares said seriously, "In this matter, although I don't support Nathan's approach, I think Nathan was right." Letting potential Supreme Beings know the whole truth a bit later was the only protection they could offer.

Everyone on the street stopped simultaneously, turning back to look toward the valley, where

a terrifying aura was descending!

...

In the deepest part of the valley, on the sacrificial rune, the angel race's years of savings were finally reaching the last step.

A brilliant multicolored light erupted, accompanied by the spreading wave of dragon might. This beam of light shot skyward, becoming the most dazzling point on the thirty-second

floor.

"Ants, your offerings, your pleas... I have heard them!" All the angels near the Sacrifice Array, regardless of their strength, were suppressed by this dragon might, unable to move! The return for sacrificing such a vast treasure exceeded imagination! A powerful dragon soul descended, accompanied by a sacred whisper.

"I am the existence that climbed to the highest peak of the dragon race."

"I am the divine dragon cursed by the Supreme after the apocalypse!"

A vague dragon shadow appeared before the angels. The dragon shadow raised its head, the

scales under its neck shimmering with a rainbow glow. Apart from these scales, the others were golden and gleaming.

"I was born in darkness, dominated in the apocalypse, fell from the heavenly realm, destined

to lead the dragon race to rise again..." "I am-" With immense pride, the dragon shadow roared its name, "The Golden Divine Dragon of Greed!"

Such a grand entrance, paired with the vast dragon might, stunned every angel present!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

No one noticed that the black mist from the Supreme Abyssal had quietly left, not daring to linger on the thirty-second floor. The roar of the Golden Divine Dragon of Greed echoed over the valley, lingering for a long time. "Potential Supreme Being of the human race... tremble! Fear! Submit to Greed!"
