Just call me Thor

Chapter 365: Third awakening condition



"Morpheus is truly a great bro." Mike couldn't help but sigh.

Even though they had never met, Morpheus's warm-hearted image was deeply ingrained in people's minds, always pushing the world towards good.

Gregory was a bit curious.

"What did you just say?"

"Nothing, ahem."

Mike looked at the file in Professor Gregory's hand and asked curiously, "Nathan... I mean, what about Shadow Nine?"

When the Guardian Shadow was founded, Nathan had already disappeared in the Supreme Abyssal.

In fact, "disappeared" was just an official statement.

From the reactions of everyone Mike had encountered, Nathan was truly dead.

Most top powerhouses knew that Shadow Nine wanted to resurrect Nathan.

This also meant that Morpheus, Ares, and Apollo, the three Supreme Beings of the human race, had tacitly acknowledged one fact.

Nathan was dead.

Thinking of this, even though Mike felt heavy-hearted, he had to face reality.

The general direction for dealing with potential Supreme Beings was set by Morpheus.

But the true executor, the one who safeguarded the potential Supreme Being, was Shadow Nine.

To put it into practice, it depended on Shadow Nine's attitude.

Gregory's expression turned a bit awkward. He put down the file and coughed twice.

"The file doesn't record Shadow Nine's stance."

Professor Gregory changed the subject.

"However, as a participant in the meeting, I can offer some recollections that are not guaranteed to be accurate. You know, I'm eight hundred years old, it's normal to misremember things."

Mike: ...

Professor, there was no need to emphasize that you were eight hundred years old.

You're now over five hundred years older than your own father, Cedric.

However, Mike was curious about what Professor Gregory wanted to say and listened attentively.

"Shadow Nine said that he could be the protector of the potential Supreme Being and was willing to treat them with the utmost goodwill."

"But!"

Mike knew very well that whenever the word "but" appeared, he could ignore everything before it, it was all bullshit.

Gregory emphasized, "But if the potential Supreme Being had evil intentions or was unwilling to bear the name of Supreme, Shadow Nine would be responsible for retrieving the Supreme Mark."

Hearing this, Mike nodded slightly, finding it reasonable.

If they blindly treated the potential Supreme Being as a good person without any precautions, that wouldn't be kindness, but stupidity.

The human race's current situation was partly due to their good treatment of potential Supreme Beings.

On the other hand, during the process of protecting the Supreme Being, the human race had enough backup plans to deal with any situation.

The terror of a potential Supreme Being lay in their invincibility at the same level, fighting across tiers was like a walk in the park for them.

However, against an Ultimate Lord, Mike, at only level 322, wouldn't have a win rate of more than 50%!

Moreover, above Ultimate Lord, there were the current Supreme Beings.

The one who gave Mike the greatest sense of pressure among the human race wasn't Shadow Nine, nor Calderon, but Apollo, who resided on the 99th floor of the Tower of Truth.

Only a potential Supreme Being could understand how terrifying the strength of a level 1000 Supreme Being was!

Although Mike was only level 322 now, with his powerful lightning abilities, it wasn't impossible for him to kill a Nine-Star Lord.

But wanting to kill Apollo was a bit too far-fetched.

Ultimately, Morpheus deserved a lot of credit for the human race's current composure.

His strength and kindness had set the tone for the entire human race and had lasted for three hundred years.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Thinking of this, Mike couldn't help but feel his mind racing.

"Professor Gregory, I want to meet Morpheus, can you arrange it?"

Afraid that his sincerity wasn't enough, Mike added, "I can pay!"

If there was something that could make Thor willingly pay, it could only mean that he really wanted to do it.

"Morpheus isn't someone you can meet just because you want to."

Gregory shook his head with a wry smile.

"You can only meet him when he wants to see you."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Professor Gregory pushed up his glasses and said carefully, "You're going to the Ninth Abyss

in two days, right?"

"Yes."

"After you return from the abyss, there's something I need to discuss with you in detail, something related to Ares."

Professor Gregory didn't keep him in suspense and told him everything he knew.

"Ares was seriously injured in his battle with the Supreme Demon God, and he's not in good shape right now. When you were with Ares, my father deliberately blocked your vision, did

you notice?"

Mike nodded. "Indeed."

Mike had spoken to Ares, but he hadn't truly "seen" him.

Cedric would always block Mike's vision at the right moment.

Professor Gregory said slowly, "As far as I know, both Maxen and my father have been looking

for ways to heal Ares's injuries. After you return from the abyss, if your talent awakens for the third time, with your Eye of Truth, you might be able to help."

[Third Awakening Condition: Level 400, cleanse your eyes for seven days with some

inexpensive materials.]

The first condition was fine, Mike was already level 322, and after a while, he would reach

level 400.

The second one was a bit troublesome.

Mike glanced at the so-called "inexpensive" materials, each portion worth 100,000 Lord

merits!

Seven days, that was 700,000 Lord merits!

"Um... Professor Gregory..."

Mike stammered, "Is there any subsidy for the talent awakening of a potential Supreme

Being?"

"Yes, there is."

Professor Gregory thought for a moment and asked, "A subsidy of 40% of the talent

awakening cost, is that acceptable?"

"Acceptable, completely acceptable!"

Mike nodded quickly. A 40% reimbursement meant 280,000 Lord merits!

That saved him a lot of money!

However, Mike still had one question.

"Professor Gregory, I've checked all the subsidy and allowance policies before, I've never

heard of this one!"

When it came to making money, Mike was a professional.

He had thoroughly studied all the welfare policies and could even recite them backwards. He

knew exactly how much money he could receive each month.

But he really didn't know about the one Professor Gregory mentioned.

"Just a moment."

Professor Gregory buried his head in writing something, signed several names, pressed his

fingerprint, and went through pupil and voice recognition.

After doing all this, Professor Gregory looked up at Mike and took out a freshly printed notice.

"Just now, the [Potential Supreme Being Talent Awakening Material Subsidy Plan (Temporary)] was unanimously approved at the emergency meeting. A subsidy of 40%, with a daily application limit of 100,000 Lord merits. The limit can be waived under special circumstances, but a report needs to be submitted afterwards..."

Mike was dumbfounded.

There was no subsidy plan, and Professor Gregory just created one for him!

Looking at the plan with the ink still wet, Mike had only one question in mind:

If he had said that the subsidy ratio wasn't enough, could he have negotiated a higher ratio? Knowing this, why didn't he ask for a higher reimbursement ratio earlier? But now, it was too late to say anything!
