Mike had no idea about the conversation between Shadow Three and Shadow Nine.
At this moment, he was hiding in Shadow Ten’s shadow, following him at high speed.
This feeling of flying without any effort on his part was quite enjoyable.
As they moved swiftly, Mike spoke up,
“Bro Amari, when we get to the Abyssal Plane, don’t rush to explore. Let me check the surroundings first.”
“Alright, I’ll follow your lead.”
Five minutes later, Mike felt Amari’s speed decrease.
“We’re almost there.”
Shadow Ten explained in a low voice, “The passage to this small Abyssal Plane is hard to open and can only be activated in fixed areas. It will close ten minutes after opening. Also, the entry point into the small Abyssal Plane is random, so precise positioning is impossible.”
Maxen had previously entered the small Abyssal Plane.
Although he could receive messages from Shadow Eleven, the distance between them was unknown. The place was filled with mist and obstacles, making it difficult to find Shadow Eleven.
Soon, they arrived at a teleportation gate.
This gate was specially constructed for the two of them.
“Hold on.”
Following Mike’s instructions, Shadow Ten stopped.
According to the Eye of Truth, Mike noticed some strange information.
[Passage to a medium-sized Abyssal Plane]
[Suture Abyssal Plane (medium) is evolving, expected to become a large Abyssal Plane in 168 hours]
[Upon completion, a demon god seed with potential will randomly evolve]
[Current number of demon god seeds: 18]
Before Mike could process this information, the prompt changed.
[Current number of demon god seeds: 17]
Shadow Ten spoke, “Maxen sent a message saying they encountered a strange creature near their teleportation gate and threw it into the passage to kill it.”
As expected of Maxen, his strength was indeed formidable!
Now, 17 demon god seeds remained. Once the [Suture Plane] completed its evolution, one of them would randomly evolve into a demon god.
At that point, things would get tricky!
So, the correct approach would be to find a way to eliminate all 17 demon god seeds within 168 hours!
Giving the enemy time to develop? Absolutely not!
Mike thought to himself, “Encountering a real demon god would be extremely dangerous.”
Not only did the 17 demon god seeds need to be eliminated, but the entire Abyssal Plane’s demon creatures also needed to be purified.
This trip to the abyss required utmost caution!
Another five minutes passed, and Mike still hadn’t let Shadow Ten proceed.
There was one more thing he hadn’t figured out.
A small fragment from the fourth abyss had formed a small Abyssal Plane.
Why had it suddenly become a medium Abyssal Plane, with the potential to evolve into a large Abyssal Plane?
It didn’t make sense!
Until he understood this, Mike wouldn’t enter lightly.
The outcome of a battle, to some extent, depended on information gathering and utilization. Understanding the origin of the [Suture Abyss] was crucial.
Focus.
Mike stared at the teleportation gate, more information appearing,
[Eight demon gods each contributed a small part of their source and fragments, stacking them on the Suture Abyss…]
Case solved, it’s a patchwork!
Like a crime scene with five victims but six bodies.
Each body part taken and pieced together to form a new one!
Only this method could make a small Abyssal Plane jump two levels, with a chance to birth a demon god!
After reading the prompt, Mike had a rough idea and whispered, “Alright, we can move out.”
Shadow Ten took a step forward, Amari along with his shadow, passed through the teleportation gate.
…
Suture Abyss.
As soon as Shadow Ten landed, demon creatures charged at him.
“Meow-”
After a cat’s meow, Cerberus rushed out.
Shadow Ten found it very strange. Did he hear wrong?
Why did a dog make a cat’s sound?
Was something wrong?
The level 200 Cerberus, with combat power far exceeding its tier, quickly slaughtered the surrounding demon creatures and returned to Shadow Ten’s side.
“Stand by.”
Mike, hiding in the shadow, looked around. The place was filled with mist, making it
impossible to see anything.
[Current detectable range: 100 miles]
Mike hadn’t expected that even the [Eye of Truth] could only see within 100 miles.
He scanned the area 360 degrees, getting a rough idea of the demon creatures within 100
miles.
“No sign of Professor Gregory or the rescue team. It seems we’re quite far.”
Although the [Eye of Truth] couldn’t see too far, it could still point in a general direction.
“Head southwest for 15 miles. Don’t rush, suppress your aura, and appear weak.”
Shadow Ten nodded, following Mike’s instructions to the letter.
Though he didn’t understand the purpose of this strategy.
Along the way, they encountered many demon creatures, all dealt with by Cerberus.
Thor seemed determined not to make a move.
This left Shadow Ten, who had been looking forward to seeing Thor’s lightning power,
somewhat disappointed.
People were always curious about potential Supreme Beings. But to protect Thor’s growth
into a true Supreme Being, his personal information was highly confidential.
As they traveled, Amari saw only a dog busying itself, not Thor in action.
Could it be that Thor was actually a summoner?
…
“Stop!”
Mike’s voice was unusually serious, and Shadow Ten immediately became alert.
“What’s wrong?”
“50 miles ahead, there’s a demon god seed, level 601…”
Listening to Thor’s explanation, Shadow Ten asked, “Avoid it or take it out?”
Normally, those seemed like the only two options.
Clearly, he underestimated Mike’s caution.
From the shadow, Mike extended a foot, nudging Cerberus,
“Go, scout ahead!”
Under Mike’s command, Cerberus switched to flight mode, sprouting wings from its back and
flapping them as it flew forward.
As it flew, its three heads let out sinister laughs,
“Kehehehe”
The laughter made Mike’s scalp tingle.
No wonder it was called [Fly Laughing Wolf]; it laughed while flying!
Clearly, this laughter didn’t suit Mike’s taste or the need for stealth.
Mike issued a new command.
“Switch to silent mode.”
Cerberus paused mid-air, looking back at Mike with a resentful gaze.
Watching the dog retract its wings and use its heads as propellers to fly, Shadow Ten wondered if he was seeing things.
The scene was so astonishing that he couldn’t find words to describe his feelings.
