As Amari and Mike traversed the spatial passage, Maxen had already dealt with the enemy and ascended to level 989.
He still had some cleanup work to do.
The Suture Abyss had to be purified somehow; otherwise, it would remain a future threat.
Moreover, the harsh environment and characteristics of the Suture Abyss were unsuitable for human corps to station there.
As for how to purify the Suture Abyss, that was another issue.
Maxen personally preferred physical methods.
After parting ways with Maxen, the group passed through the spatial passage, unable to return directly to Earth but instead entering another Abyssal Plane.
Professor Gregory, Amari, and Joseph were among the last to leave.
The people ahead needed to set up a life support system to help Professor Gregory survive in the harsh environment of the Abyssal Plane.
At level 60, Professor Gregory shouldn’t have been on the front lines.
A single breath of the Abyssal Plane’s toxic air could take half his life.
Having just rescued Professor Gregory from the dangerous trap of the Suture Abyss, it would be ridiculous if something happened to him for other reasons.
Fortunately, most of the people present were meticulous and wouldn’t overlook such details. “Finally, we’re out!”
As soon as Joseph landed, he turned into a gust of wind, instantly scouting the surrounding thousand miles, then returned to the original spot.
“We should be in the Ninth Abyss. Lucky us.”
If the passage had led to the First, Second, or Fifth Abyss, it would have been a big problem! Currently, the Third, Fourth, and Sixth demon gods had fallen.
The First, Second, and Fifth were the top combat forces among the demon gods, with the strongest demon creatures.
The group had been in the Suture Abyss for nearly a week. Although they were in good condition, they were inevitably a bit tired.
If they were surrounded by enemies again, it would be another tough battle!
In the Ninth Abyss, the demon god was slightly weaker, and the demon creatures were not as troublesome.
But the moment they entered the Ninth Abyss, the Ninth demon god sensed their presence.
The demon army was already gathering, and once it reached a scale of a million, it would immediately attack the group!
A million-strong demon tide posed a risk even to nine-tier Lords, a force to be avoided!
Last time, at the negotiation site, the demon gods had acted dishonorably, trying to trap and kill Professor Gregory.
This led to three Supreme Beings speaking out in succession, with Shadow Nine stepping forward to protect Gregory.
This time, Gregory had actively appeared on the battlefield!
This meant that all actions by both sides had to be within the framework of the Supreme Agreement!
As long as the demon gods didn’t personally intervene and let their subordinates act, even if they killed Gregory Blackwell, they wouldn’t bear any risk!
The demon gods knew exactly where the human race’s bottom line was.
At this stage, the human race couldn’t afford the cost of breaking the Supreme Agreement!
Worse still, due to the long stay in the Abyssal Plane, even with the life support system, Gregory’s physical condition was already very poor.
He couldn’t be taken directly off the battlefield by Joseph, nor could he withstand the pressure of passing through another spatial passage.
It was like a critically ill patient who could maintain life in the ICU but would be pushed to death if taken bungee jumping.
As a seasoned nine-tier Lord, Joseph naturally understood the rules of the Abyssal battlefield and made a quick decision:
“Call for reinforcements!”
Before the demon god could detect Gregory’s presence and send an army, they needed to summon strong enough reinforcements, preferably a corps!
Don’t be fooled by the presence of Amari, Shadow Eleven, and Joseph, three nine-tier Lords.
In the face of a million-strong or even stronger demon army, these three were nothing! The situation was extremely urgent.
They needed to call for powerful reinforcements and a healing element Lord, and time was
running out.
Moreover…
Joseph glanced at Amari, his eyes filled with worry.
The biggest concern wasn’t Professor Gregory but Thor!
If the demon gods knew Thor was on the Abyssal battlefield, no one could predict what crazy actions they might take!
There were rumors that potential Supreme Beings were a great supplement for demon gods. Whether it was Professor Gregory or Thor, Joseph had to bring them back to Earth intact! Call for reinforcements, call for reinforcements, and call for reinforcements again! Joseph took out his communication token and sent a message,
“Shadow Two, I need your support. Bring more people. If you’re late, you’ll be collecting my
corpse!”
On the other end of the communication token, a voice with a feminine tone replied, “Why the rush? I’m being chased by the Second demon god’s corps, no time.”
But then, the voice quickly changed to a deep male voice,
“Joseph, pick a nice urn. Don’t worry, I’ll cover the costs.”
Joseph’s plan to call for reinforcements failed. Clearly, the Nightmare Corps couldn’t spare free𝑤ebnovel.com
any hands for now.
Joseph immediately tried to contact the Hurricane Corps.
He had once been the commander of the Hurricane Corps, known for their speed, suitable for
urgent support.
While Joseph was calling for reinforcements, the others weren’t idle.
Amari took out a communication crystal and respectfully said, “Shadow Nine, your grandson
is back.”
The communication crystal quickly responded.
Shadow Nine: “I can’t leave right now. I’m sending Shadow One.”
Shadow Nine: “Shadows Four to Seven are already on their way. Calderon is guarding the
Forest of Truth.”
Except for Shadow Two and Shadow Nine himself, who couldn’t leave, the Guardian Shadow
sent five nine-tier Lords!
That’s some real VIP treatment!
Of course, according to the Supreme Agreement, the number of Lords in each Abyssal Plane
was limited.
These reinforcements didn’t need to all enter the Ninth Abyss.
Holding the perimeter was also a deterrent, ready to rotate and support from inside and
outside.
Moreover, the demon god’s subordinates would also come to interfere with the human
rescue.
The two sides had been at odds for three hundred years, and these tactics were nothing new.
Shadow Eleven was also calling for reinforcements.
But he didn’t use a communication crystal; instead, he took out a personal token.
In the past decades, Shadow Eleven had never contacted the other party.
“It’s me.”
Shadow Eleven didn’t waste words, ignoring the other party’s surprise, and directly asked,
“How long for the entire Blood See Corps to airdrop into the Ninth Abyss?”
“15 minutes? Good, I’m waiting, it’s urgent.”
After sending the coordinates, Shadow Eleven cut off the communication. Joseph also finished calling for reinforcements and said, “The Hurricane Corps will arrive
within 5 minutes. The corps originally stationed in the Ninth Abyss are too far away to make it
in time. The Hurricane Corps and Blood See Corps will enter the Ninth Abyss simultaneously, withdrawing and abandoning some defensive lines, not violating the Supreme Agreement.”
After calling for reinforcements, they had two full corps and five nine-tier Lords from the
Guardian Shadow.
This lineup was almost like a major battle!
Anyone unaware might think the human race was making another big move.
Of course, the demon gods were also quite united this time.
As soon as Professor Gregory and the others escaped from the Suture Abyss, the demon gods
immediately took action, causing trouble everywhere, distracting human strong ones and
corps.
The demon creatures in the Ninth Abyss had already started gathering, numbering over a
million, including demon Lord creatures!
A dark mass surged towards Mike and the others.
A major battle was imminent!
Mike hid in Amari’s shadow, waiting for the upcoming battle.
He realized that when it came to calling for reinforcements, he had no one to call!
Mainly because Thor’s identity had been kept too secret.
The people Mike dealt with were all busy now, like Shadow Nine and Maxen, each with their
own tasks.
Apollo… better not call him.
Mike secretly decided to establish good trade relations with people like Joseph in the future,
so he’d have more options when calling for reinforcements. Fortunately, Mike wasn’t the only one who couldn’t call for reinforcements; Professor
Gregory hadn’t called anyone either.
Just as Mike thought this, Professor Gregory took out his phone and dialed a number.
“Dad, I’m in the Ninth Abyss. Yes, yes, okay.”
Before the call ended,
the sky above the Ninth Abyss suddenly cracked open, and a sword light like a hanging galaxy
descended. Countless sword energies poured down, dazzling and obliterating everything in
their path.
From the sword light emerged a figure, carrying a long sword.
Standing on the Ninth Abyss, Cedric Blackwell looked down at the countless demon creatures
below and slowly spoke, “Where’s my son?”
