Mike had pondered this issue before. With the Supreme Demon God appearing, Shadow Nine indeed had a chance to take the Supreme Mark.
However, there was a prerequisite: Apollo would have to battle the Supreme Demon God ahead of time!
Based on past encounters, Apollo wouldn’t be in great shape after such a battle. Even if Shadow Nine didn’t care about Mike, he would still care about his student, right?
Mike’s thought process got stuck here. Did Shadow Nine have another trick up his sleeve?
After the two Ultimate Lords entered, the Supreme Abyssal passage began to shake violently, and a terrifying suction force emanated from the crack!
Clearly, the sudden intrusion of Shadow Nine and Calderon Sunsworn had caused new changes in the Supreme Abyssal.
The Supreme Demon God, who had been slowly awakening, was now waking up even faster! Mike stared intently at the spatial crack, waiting for the next development. He knew that even at this stage, everything was still within Shadow Nine’s plan.
Suddenly, Mike had a foreboding feeling. In Shadow Nine’s plan, there were four key players: Shadow Nine, Apollo, Thor, and the Supreme Demon God.
Throughout his reasoning, Mike had always assumed one thing: Apollo knew about Shadow Nine’s plan and was even willing to help his instructor!
Mike took a deep breath, shocked by his own thoughts. What if… Shadow Nine had been deceiving Apollo from the start?! Or rather, what if Shadow Nine’s true target for deception was Supreme Being Apollo himself?
“No way,” Mike muttered, stunned by the bold idea. “Would Shadow Nine really dare to deceive Apollo?!”
…
…
Tower of Truth, ninety-ninth floor.
Apollo had thought today would be another boring day. However, it seemed his instructor had prepared a surprise for him.
“The Supreme Demon God is awakening early?” freewёbnoνel.com
Apollo calculated with his fingers, then shook his head, “No, it’s not time yet. But…”
Regardless, with the Supreme Abyssal opening and the Supreme Demon God appearing, it meant Supreme Being Apollo had to go to battle! He had lived in the Tower of Truth for nearly a hundred years, watching the same scenery for a century. He was truly bored.
This final battle seemed to be approaching.
Apollo had thought so. He stood up, the hem of his loose robe dragging on the ground as he walked forward. Before he could reach the edge of the tower, a familiar voice called out from outside.
“Boss! Boss!”
The voice of the Mystic Market Manager, Foreskin, came through, “Boss, I just received a letter from your instructor.”
Apollo frowned slightly. He couldn’t help but think of one thing. Had his instructor… deceived him?
The sixth sense of a Supreme Being was always accurate. Moreover, once Apollo realized this, he quickly guessed what Shadow Nine was up to.
During this time, Apollo had many questions to ponder. Even when he wasn’t thinking about questions, he would pay extra attention to Thor. This was something Shadow Nine had taught him, and now it seemed it was part of the plan.
Shadow Nine was the one who understood Apollo the best. So he had indeed deceived Apollo
once.
Even though he had guessed the contents of Shadow Nine’s letter, Apollo still patiently asked, “What’s written in the letter? Read it out loud.”
This was also something Shadow Nine had taught him – to respect the sense of ritual.
Foreskin, sensing the displeasure in his boss’s tone, quickly read the letter, “Your instructor says he will help you delay the battle for at least ten years. In the meantime, stay in the Tower of Truth and think about your questions. If you can’t figure them out, just keep thinking; you might eventually get it.”
Apollo took a step forward but was stopped by an invisible barrier. Foreskin’s voice came from outside the tower, “Your instructor also said he found the person you mentioned before and made a deal with them. You… might not be able to leave the tower today.”
By the end of the letter, Foreskin’s voice was trembling! He was shocked by Shadow Nine’s audacity. Shadow Nine had dared to scheme against Supreme Being Apollo! Even more terrifying, he had succeeded!
Apollo remained silent. After a few seconds, he chuckled softly and took another step forward. Countless cracks appeared before him, and the entire Tower of Truth began to shake
violently!
Trying to trap a Supreme Being? With this tower?
As Apollo stepped forward, a sharp voice rang in his ear,
“Apollo Lawson, are you crazy?!”
“If you dare destroy my tower, I’ll bring you down with me!”
Apollo said nothing. He wanted to leave the ninety-ninth floor, and no one could stop him!
Not Shadow Nine. Not this mysterious figure!
From the outside, the Tower of Truth looked like it had been kicked by a giant, starting to tilt.
Leaning Tower of Pisa?
In this world, no one could stop Apollo.
The mysterious figure was clearly panicking, shouting,
“Someone, help! Save my tower!!!”
“Help! The tower is falling! Is anyone going to do something?!”
A middle-aged man appeared in the sky above the Forest of Truth, looking at the Leaning Tower of Truth. The man was unremarkable, even somewhat ordinary in appearance.
In the next moment, the man’s figure appeared beneath the Leaning Tower of Truth. He extended a finger, gently pushing the tower back to its original position.
The man gently advised, “Don’t make a fuss.”
Seeing Morpheus below the tower, Apollo fell silent again.
There were only two beings in this world who could stop him: Morpheus and Ares.
Shadow Nine had planned everything perfectly. He had even predicted Apollo’s reaction and arranged everything accordingly.
Apollo never did anything pointless. This meant Shadow Nine had succeeded.
The battle between Apollo and the Supreme Demon God might indeed be delayed by ten years. These ten years were time Shadow Nine had fought for his student and for himself!
Apollo understood everything but couldn’t grasp the significance of Shadow Nine’s actions. So he turned, facing away from Morpheus, and sat down again. The Tower of Truth stopped shaking and returned to calm.
However, a cold snort echoed in the sky above the Forest of Truth.
“Hmph!”
