Suture Abyss.
The rescue team for Professor Gregory and Shadow Ten had no idea of each other’s locations, relying solely on their instincts to navigate.
The only difference was that Mike had the [Eye of Truth] for navigation.
“In 30 miles, continue straight!”
“New demon god seed detected. Would you like to accept a side quest?”
“You have gone off route, re-routing…”
“…”
At this moment, Mike truly appreciated the power of the [Eye of Truth], an SSS-tier talent, which was incredibly strong.
The mist in the Suture Abyss not only obscured vision but also created illusions and hallucinations.
But with the [Eye of Truth], Mike could ignore all illusions.
With Mike’s help, they moved quickly and encountered no obstacles.
However, the size of the Suture Abyssal Plane exceeded Mike’s expectations.
Two hours had passed, and they still hadn’t found Professor Gregory!
Instead, they encountered a third demon god seed!
Compared to the previous encounters, the current demon god seed had some combat power, fighting evenly with the Chaos Claw Tiger and Cerberus.
“Use poison to kill it. You can do it, kitty, go for it!”
Mike remotely controlled the Chaos Claw Tiger, cheering it on.
Ten minutes later, the difficult battle finally ended, and the demon god seed exploded, with the abyssal laws descending once again.
[Current number of demon god seeds: 11]
[Current demon god seed damage immunity: Space Element, Fire Element, Wind Element, Ice Element, Gravity Element, Curse Element, Poison Element]
Seeing the types of damage the demon god seeds were immune to, Mike nodded slightly.
“It seems Maxen and the others have noticed the problem and are controlling the corresponding elemental damage!”
As Mike had previously thought, everyone was clearly using their wits.
The more niche the element, the less it restricted Mike and the others.
As the demon god seeds grew stronger, so did the mist!
Shadow Ten was on the move when he suddenly stopped, his body swaying slightly.
“What’s wrong? Need help?” Mike asked.
“No problem.”
Shadow Ten opened his eyes and said seriously, “The illusions are getting stronger. With your talent’s help, I can handle it, but… Eleven might not be so lucky, especially since his
proficiency in Soul Element isn’t high.”
“He’s very likely to be deceived by the illusions.”
Hearing this, Mike frowned.
“We need to find Professor Gregory quickly.”
He immediately adjusted their pace,
“Speed up. Forget the demon god seeds for now. Let’s get to Professor Gregory as fast as possible!”
“Got it!”
Mike and Amari pressed on.
…
By a cliff.
Professor Gregory was carefully chewing an energy bar, chewing each bite twenty times.
After finishing the energy bar, he drank half a cup of water and looked around, his eyes full of worry, “The mist is getting thicker.”
“Professor Gregory, don’t worry. Maxen and the others should find us soon.”
Shadow Eleven reassured him.
With him around, the mist couldn’t harm Professor Gregory in the slightest.
All illusions, if they couldn’t break Shadow Eleven’s defense, couldn’t harm Professor
Gregory.
As they chatted, two figures emerged from the mist, accompanied by a dog.
The mist obscured their vision, making it hard to see clearly.
The dog had three heads, likely the legendary Cerberus!
From the other side of the mist, Shadow Ten’s deep voice called out,
“Shadow Eleven?”
“Is Professor Gregory with you?”
Reinforcements had arrived!
Professor Gregory’s expression didn’t change, and he even took another sip of water.
Shadow Eleven stood in front of Professor Gregory, issuing a warning to the newcomers.
“Stay where you are, don’t come any closer!”
This was the Abyssal Plane, known for its mist and illusions, where anything could happen.
For instance, illusions that could deceive Lord level powerhouses!
If this were just a small Abyssal Plane, Shadow Eleven wouldn’t be worried.
But Professor Gregory’s calculations had concluded that this was an evolving medium Abyssal
Plane!
With a demon god watching from the shadows, Shadow Eleven couldn’t afford to let his guard
down!
His strength could ensure Professor Gregory’s safety if they stayed put.
But if anyone tried to approach, Shadow Eleven would be fine, but Professor Gregory might
not be!
Hearing Shadow Eleven’s warning, the newcomers stopped and called out through the mist.
“I have Shadow Nine’s token as proof!”
After Shadow Ten’s voice, another unfamiliar male voice spoke, “If you’re still unsure, I can
have Tripod bring the token to you.”
“Tripod is Cerberus’s name, currently level 200.”
Since they had seen Cerberus, this man must be the legendary Thor.
Hearing ‘Thor’s’ proposal, Shadow Eleven was tempted but still cautious.
“Follow the encryption protocol!”
The two exchanged coded messages through the mist.
The codes matched!
Shadow Eleven whispered, “Professor Gregory, it should be Amari, but I’m not entirely sure.”
Professor Gregory said calmly, “I have a way to verify their identity.”
“Oh?”
Shadow Eleven didn’t understand why Professor Gregory was so confident.
As a ninth-tier Lord, even with all his methods, he couldn’t be sure through the mist.
How could Professor Gregory do it?
But years of accompanying Gregory had made him highly respectful of Gregory’s opinions,
“Professor Gregory, please go ahead.”
Professor Gregory confirmed again, “You said they are Shadow Ten and Thor?”
Shadow Eleven nodded, “Yes.”
According to the information Shadow Eleven had received, these two were indeed traveling
together.
Moreover, Shadow Ten had mentioned that Thor had a cat and a dog, both Shadow Element
summoned beasts.
Based on the current information, there didn’t seem to be any major issues.
However, Shadow Eleven couldn’t take the risk.
If they moved any closer, he couldn’t guarantee Professor Gregory’s safety!
Professor Gregory opened his backpack, seemingly searching for something.
Shadow Eleven was delighted, “Professor Gregory, do you know Thor’s real identity?!”
“How could I know such a thing? You’re overestimating me.”
Professor Gregory laughed, “Besides, Thor values his identity’s secrecy and has done a
thorough job.”
The first three Supreme Beings of humanity.
Morpheus, as the first human to awaken an SSS-tier talent, had no room to grow and had to
step up as a leader.
Ares, with his sharp and intense demeanor, had many people silently watching him.
But Ares’s growth was astonishing, reaching Lord-level combat power in just a month, personally fighting on the front lines, and then revealing his identity.
Apollo’s mystery stemmed from his own style, not a deliberate concealment of identity.
Until he emerged, people were unaware.
Silently, humanity had a third Supreme Being!
Thor was different. Thor was cautious, always mindful, and kept his identity well-hidden.
To date, besides the Supreme Beings, only Shadow Nine knew Thor’s real-world identity! “If the newcomer is truly Thor, he will recognize this.”
With that, Professor Gregory pulled something from his backpack and handed it to Shadow
Eleven.
“What’s this?”
Shadow Eleven looked down, puzzled.
A rock?
