Just call me Thor - Chapter 173

Chapter 173: Okay, I’ll do it
Mermaid Island.

The Razor surged onto the beach, and the crew worked together to stabilize it, anchoring the ship securely.

Mike and his group jumped off the ship, leaving three sailors behind to guard it.

“Captain, we shouldn’t venture too deep,” bounty hunter Landy advised. “If the ship gets taken, we won’t have a way back!”

“Don’t worry, I have a plan.”

A shadow lurked in the corner of the Razor, with Chaos Claw Tiger constantly monitoring the surroundings.

With Chaos Claw Tiger’s strength, as long as they didn’t encounter a boss, protecting the Razor was no problem.

Now that they were on Mermaid Island, Mike didn’t bother to keep up the pretense and casually said, “This island is big. Everyone, feel free to explore.”

This was exactly what everyone wanted to hear.

Bartender Jack was the first to leave, and pirate Raven made a show of saying a few words before eagerly leading his men away.

As a pirate, Raven knew the importance of information.

Scouting the island first would be beneficial for the upcoming battles and help gather more treasure.

Only Landy stayed behind.

“Captain, even if I don’t guard the ship, please allow me to stay by your side.”

Landy had taken Mike’s 50 gold coins and was determined to fulfill his duty.

Mike waved his hand dismissively, “Suit yourself, as long as you can keep up.”

Swish—

In the next second, Mike vanished from sight.

Landy: ???

Where did he go?

He was just here a moment ago, so why did he suddenly disappear? Where did he go?!

Suddenly, Landy felt a chill run down his spine.

The seemingly handsome but otherwise unremarkable captain’s true strength might be beyond everyone’s imagination!

A gentle breeze blew, and Mike stood on a tree branch.

Crack—

The branch couldn’t bear Mike’s weight and snapped, sending him plummeting down.

A shadow cushioned Mike’s fall, absorbing the impact and allowing him to land smoothly.

Cerberus: Praise me!

Mike patted the dog’s heads, then brushed off the leaves on his body, muttering, “Turns out, comics are full of lies.”

Tree branches couldn’t support a person, let alone a ninja.

Upon entering Mermaid Island, Mike quickly noticed something strange.

There was only an island, no mermaids.

As the distance to the Immortal Monster shortened, the [Eye of Truth] provided more detailed prompts.

[Fun Fact: The Immortal Monster has faced three potential Supreme Beings and has never been killed]

Mike suddenly felt a sense of danger.

This place was not safe!

It was hard to imagine how powerful a being must be to face three potential Supreme Beings head-on.

Could it really be unkillable?

Morpheus, Ares, Apollo.

Even an Archdemon from the abyss wouldn’t survive an encounter with these three!

Only the [Supreme Demon God] could achieve such a feat.

Which meant:

Immortal Monster = Supreme Demon God?

Mike looked at the shadow at his feet and said seriously, “You will be the vanguard in this battle. Go scout ahead. If you find anything, you’ll be richly rewarded!”

Cerberus couldn’t disobey the command and reluctantly went to scout.

After the initial shock, Mike quickly regained his composure.

Facing three Supreme Beings sounded impressive.

But in reality, it was at least 33% exaggerated!

Supreme Being Apollo didn’t kill; he only broke spirits.

He might have had reasons for not bothering to kill the opponent.

Mike nodded slowly, “It would be absurd for anyone else, but it makes perfect sense for Apollo.”

So,

The Immortal Monster only faced Morpheus and Ares head-on!

Following the [Eye of Truth]’s guidance, Mike navigated through the tropical jungle and soon reached a fork in the path.

[Turn left ahead to face the ‘Immortal Monster’ directly]

Mike was about to send Cerberus to scout the left path when his Nightmare’s Breeze cloak tugged at him.

The cloak pointed to the right, urging Mike to take the other path.

Left led to the Immortal Monster, a being that had faced three potential Supreme Beings and survived, slightly inferior to the Supreme Demon God.

Right was the direction indicated by Nightmare’s Breeze.

It could lead to crucial clues for conquest or perhaps Morpheus’s embarrassing past.

This choice was a no-brainer for Mike.

“Right!”

Morpheus’s embarrassing past was not to be missed!

[You have deviated from the path. Recalculating route]

Mike still had plenty of time, so he decided to follow Nightmare’s Breeze, hoping for a pleasant surprise.

After advancing five miles, Mike made a new discovery.

“This is….”

A large stone had lines of text carved into it, ending with an ugly heart.

The familiar handwriting and the twisted heart were unique and unmistakable.

Supreme Being, Morpheus!

Without thinking, Mike instinctively pulled out his camera and started snapping photos.

His motto was:

Never miss any of Morpheus’s embarrassing past!

After taking the photos, Mike read the text on the stone:

“I was moved by your sister’s love story. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to return the token to her. I didn’t expect to meet Medusa’s big sister here. This is great! Please accept this token and pass it on to your younger sister. I’m Morpheus, who does good deeds without leaving a name. I wish Medusa a happy future.”

The message ended with Morpheus’s signature heart.

Drawing such an equally ugly heart consistently required some skill.

After reading Morpheus’s message, Mike suddenly felt something was off.

“Morpheus never intended to kill her!”

Medusa’s sister wasn’t a terrifying monster that faced three potential Supreme Beings head-on.

She was a lucky survivor who escaped from three Supreme Beings!

Or rather, an unlucky one?

Just as Mike was thinking this, the Thunderclap Hammer hidden in his cloak made a faint sound.

Danger?!

Mike immediately backed away, fearing an assassin might jump out and stab him.

After creating some distance, Mike scanned the surroundings but found no danger.

“Go, check it out.”

Cerberus scouted ahead, circling the stone.

Safe!

Only then did Mike approach to examine the stone further.

What on the stone could resonate with the Thunderclap Hammer?

Soon, Mike found the clue.

On the back of the stone, in a corner, someone had carved a line with a sword:

“Are you stupid? I told you that woman was trouble. Slash her!”

Mike: Are they having a conversation through this stone?

The person who left this message was undoubtedly Ares.

This stone had messages from both Morpheus and Ares.

Of course, there were no traces of Apollo.

Mike could imagine the scene back then:

Apollo casually arrived on the island, saw the stone, did nothing, and simply said: “Boring.”

Since Mike was here, it seemed only right to leave something behind. After all, he was also a potential Supreme Being.

After some thought, Mike decided to add a line after Ares’s message:

“Are you stupid? I told you that woman was trouble. Slash her!” (Ares)

“Okay, I’ll do it.” (Thor)

The monster Ares couldn’t slash, I’ll slash!

The monster three Supreme Beings couldn’t kill, I’ll kill!

This is Thor!
