Poseidon’s projection died right in front of him, leaving Mike feeling a bit awkward. “Could Poseidon (sea god) be trying to scam me?”
Just as Mike was pondering this, Poseidon’s projection descended once again!
Still at level 100, with nine-tier Soldier strength, Poseidon was clearly following the rules.
Upon descending, Poseidon raised a white shell in his hand.
“Please, let me finish speaking!”
Poseidon had clearly been frightened by Thor’s Lightning.
Mike looked at the shell in Poseidon’s hand.
[Inside is a pearl called ‘Heart of the Ocean’]
[Placing the Heart of the Ocean in Thor’s Sea will eliminate the need for water element materials for upgrades until level 600]
Mike raised an eyebrow, a warm smile spreading across his face as he warmly welcomed, “Poseidon, my old friend, you shouldn’t have brought anything.”
As he walked forward, Mike didn’t forget to kick Cerberus, “Good dog doesn’t block the way. Look at how you bit Poseidon earlier; his medical expenses will come out of your dog food money!”
Mike approached Poseidon’s projection, maintaining a safe distance.
“Let’s cut to the chase.”
Poseidon’s projection didn’t seem in a good mood. He introduced the item in his hand and then said, “This item is for you. From this moment, all our past grievances are settled!” “Deal.”
Mike agreed readily.
He and Poseidon didn’t have any deep-seated hatred, just a pure debt relationship.
The [Heart of the Ocean] Poseidon offered solved the water element upgrade issues for Thor’s Sea until level 600. The money saved, although not enough to cover the 3.01 million Lord merits Poseidon owed Mike, was close enough! Even high-interest loans have limits, right?
Poseidon’s projection spoke again, “For this deal, I swear by the Tower of Truth, and you swear by your race’s Supreme Creator?”
Supreme Creator?
Poseidon must be referring to Apollo.
This title was new to Mike. Poseidon was a native NPC of the Tower of Truth, but one of the top-tier ones.
Mike had previously looked up this old fellow’s information. Poseidon’s level ranged from 995 to 999, not reaching 1000.
Facing Poseidon’s reasonable request, Mike showed a troubled expression,
“Well… I’m not very familiar with the Supreme Creator of humanity. We’ve only met three or four times, so it’s a bit tricky…”
As he spoke, Mike rubbed his thumb and forefinger together.
This wasn’t a hint.
It was a blatant demand!
Even swearing required tips?
Poseidon had never seen someone so shameless!
After a moment of silence, Poseidon spoke again, “I don’t have much to offer. The Heart of the Ocean is the most precious item.
I am also bound by the rules of truth…”
First, he subtly expressed his difficulties, then tentatively offered, “Below the fiftieth floor, you can summon my projection once to assist you in battle.”
Mike immediately added conditions, “A level 995 projection, fully at my command, cannot harm me.”
Poseidon’s projection shook his head, “Can’t be that strong. Level 900, no autonomous consciousness, under your control, how about that?”
Fearing Poseidon might regret it, Mike quickly agreed, “Deal!”
Having an extra Lord-level fighter was always beneficial for Mike.
After reaching an agreement, both parties swore their oaths, and the Heart of the Ocean fell into Mike’s hands, sealing the deal.
Putting away the Heart of the Ocean, Mike looked at Poseidon’s projection, “Do you have anything else to say?”
Poseidon’s projection spoke again, pointing to the central area of the room, “This is a gift, representing our friendship.”
“Oh? Do tell.” Mike’s interest was piqued.
Poseidon’s projection continued, “When the Tower of Truth was on its cosmic journey, it was invaded by void demons. This is a void fragment I obtained after killing the void fiend.”
Void fiend?
What was that?
The more Poseidon spoke, the more confused Mike became. freeweɓnovel.cm
Mike knew the Tower of Truth came from an unknown part of the universe.
It seemed that the journey wasn’t smooth.
Perhaps it was due to the void fiends’ invasion that the Supreme Demon God’s seal loosened, giving him a chance to reappear.
But these matters were too distant for Mike. He was more concerned with the present and asked, “What does the void fragment do?”
“It can evolve an element into a void element. The benefits and drawbacks of doing so, I won’t elaborate on.”
Poseidon’s projection gave a mysterious smile, “After all, even if I told you, you wouldn’t
believe me, right?”
“That’s true.”
Mike felt the agitation of fire elements in the air, and a thought struck him.
“This void fragment isn’t a water element but a fire element?”
“Correct!”
Poseidon’s projection admitted openly, “If you take the void fragment and fuse it with your class, [fire element] will become [void fire element]. At the same time, you’ll make an enemy
of the fire god, entering a true divine conflict. Between the fire god and the void fire god, it’s a
fight to the death.”
Poseidon made no attempt to hide his scheme.
First, Poseidon wanted to reconcile with Thor.
He genuinely couldn’t beat Thor!
Most importantly, with the Supreme Creator of humanity on the ninety-ninth floor, Poseidon
didn’t dare forcibly descend to kill Thor!
As a god within the Tower of Truth, they had certain privileges.
If they truly wanted to kill someone, they could!
But… for various reasons, they didn’t dare.
Second, Poseidon wanted to use Thor to eliminate a rival!
Using others to do his dirty work, pitting one enemy against another.
These things were laid out plainly, and Mike saw through them clearly.
“You’ve read a lot of military strategy!”
Since Poseidon had said all he needed to, Mike didn’t keep him any longer and sent him off
with a Thunderclap Strike.
Poseidon’s projection had fulfilled its mission and could exit the stage.
Before Mike lay the mysterious void fragment!
To take or not to take…
That wasn’t even a question.
“Take it!”
Mike’s eyes burned with determination as he made his decision,
“Even if this thing is poisonous, experimenting on Vladimir with it wouldn’t be a loss!”
