Chapter 205: The mission’s danger level is now SSS
Outside the Forest of Truth.
The [Rescue Professor Gregory] task force was ready, with hundreds of people gathered.
The task force included human powerhouses ranging from level 200 to 600.
Some were Supreme Being seeds, while many were seasoned General-level warriors.
Some of these individuals had formidable combat power at their tier but couldn’t break through the Tower of Truth’s barriers, limiting their levels.
Their levels and experience were optimal, making them perfect for the mission to rescue Professor Gregory.
Of course, only an incident like Professor Gregory being trapped could gather such a group in such a short time, forming a special assault team.
“Attention, everyone!”
Joseph said in a deep voice, “The teleportation passage is about to open. Once it’s confirmed safe, everyone will enter in an orderly manner following commands!”
Hundreds of voices responded in unison.
“Yes, sir!”
Kaelum and Anderson were among them, acting as the leaders from New York University, standing at the front.
The teleportation passage wasn’t fully open yet, but Maxen, clad in heavy armor, stood at the very front, ignoring the damage from spatial turbulence and cracks, striding forward.
Boom—
Boom—
Countless sparks burst out, and the equipment on Maxen’s body shattered into countless pieces in less than three seconds.
The spatial cracks’ damage fell directly on Maxen, but it didn’t harm him at all. Maxen continued to stride forward.
Watching this scene, Kaelum couldn’t help but marvel, “So strong.”
Even Joseph had to admit, Maxen was indeed formidable.
Among the ninth-tier Lords, Maxen’s strength was among the top, with only a few able to compare.
At this moment, a sword light cut through the sky, landing in the distance.
Standing on the long sword was a Lord, Cedric Blackwell!
Level 989, Deputy Corps Commander of the Valor Sword Corps, ninth-tier Lord!
One of the few who could rival Maxen!
After Cedric appeared, the black coffin in the Forest of Truth stirred again, and Calderon awoke.
“What’s going on today, old friends one after another…”
Calderon lay in the black coffin, mocking, “Not even an Ultimate Lord, did you awaken your SS-tier talent while eating shit?”
In Calderon’s current mental state, he had three attitudes towards his old friends.
Below level 990: All trash, he directly mocked and ridiculed them!
Level 990-999: Compete to see who is the first Ultimate Lord of humanity?

Supreme Being Morpheus: Bro, long time no see!
Calderon had been mentally unstable for years, with his old friends either dead or injured.
No one would argue with a madman, especially one who was once a comrade in arms.
Without the Blood War and the successive major battles back then, Calderon wouldn’t have ended up in his current state.
Cedric ignored Calderon, looking at Joseph and the others, and said, “Bring him back.”
Joseph nodded heavily, “Understood.”
“If you can’t save him, then don’t. That’s his fate.”
With that, a sword light cut through the sky, and Cedric’s figure disappeared.
Everyone naturally saw this scene.
Kaelum whispered, “What’s the relationship between Cedric and Professor Gregory?”
Anderson, deep in thought, slowly said, “They’re both men.”
Kaelum: …
That was as good as saying nothing.
“Look!”
Someone in the task force pointed ahead. Maxen, who was paving the way, was now walking back, enduring the spatial damage.
Maxen’s face was solemn. After exiting the teleportation gate, he immediately whispered to Joseph.
“How could this be!”
“Are you sure the information is accurate?”
As soon as Maxen entered the small Abyssal Plane, he received a message from Shadow Eleven.
Shadow Eleven briefly explained Professor Gregory’s speculation, advising Maxen and the others to abandon the rescue plan.
Given the gravity of the situation, neither Maxen nor Joseph could make a decision alone.
They decided to report the information to higher authorities as quickly as possible.
“Is the report ready?”
Under Maxen’s urging, Joseph handed over a piece of paper.
“How do you plan to submit it?”
Before Joseph could finish speaking, Maxen had already taken action.
He crumpled the paper into a ball, took a deep breath, and hurled it into the sky.
The paper ball traced a terrifying arc, heading straight for the ninety-ninth floor of the Tower of Truth.
After witnessing Maxen’s strength, Kaelum had no doubt that the paper ball could kill him!
Seconds later, a white cloud floated over, and Apollo’s voice sounded in Maxen’s ear.
“Go.”
“Got it!”
Maxen turned to the task force members, saying in a deep voice, “The plan has changed. The mission’s danger level is now SSS. All personnel who do not meet the requirements will automatically withdraw from the rescue plan! Those qualified for SSS-level missions, step forward voluntarily.”
In the next moment, a red light shone on the majority of the people, indicating they were not eligible for the mission.
The previous rescue mission was rated S-level.
After learning part of the truth, the nature of the entire rescue plan changed completely!
SSS-level missions had appeared less than ten times in the past three hundred years!
The casualty rate for all historical SSS-level missions was as high as 86%!
However, those who survived SSS-level missions, as long as they remained mentally sound and continued to challenge the Tower of Truth, without exception, all became Lords!
As soon as Maxen finished speaking, Anderson stepped forward, pushing Kaelum along.
Kaelum: ???
“Big guy, I didn’t say I wasn’t going!”
Anderson, with a serious face, said, “I’m scared alone.”
SSS-level missions had an extremely high mortality rate.
Even with a rock-solid heart, Anderson couldn’t help but waver.
Life and death were no trivial matters.
With things said this way, Kaelum could only roll his eyes in protest.
They were both from New York University, the only ones from their summer camp’s C Zone eligible for the SSS-level mission.
The plan to rescue Professor Gregory could proceed without others, but as his students, they were willing to try, even if it was an SSS-level mission!
Besides, Maxen was with them!
After some commotion, the task force for rescuing Professor Gregory was streamlined.
From hundreds, only eight remained.
Led by Maxen and Joseph, with Kaelum and Anderson from New York University, one from Washington D.C. University, two from the United Corps, and one Lone Wolf.
Seeing the stabilizing passage, Maxen waved his hand, “Move out!”
…
Horn Abyss.
The three waiting for the teleportation gate were a bit bored.
Suddenly, the black mist churned, and Shadow Nine’s surprised voice sounded.
“Kid, there’s a change. The mission is now SSS-level.”
After informing Mike of Professor Gregory’s speculation, Shadow Nine left the decision to Mike.
“Go or not, it’s up to you.”
Mike raised an eyebrow, thinking of another question.
“Shadow Nine, SSS-level missions are highly dangerous, right? One wrong move and you could be seriously injured, correct?”
An S-level rescue mission turning into SSS-level meant the difficulty was supercharged.
Under the gaze of Shadow Nine and the others, Mike asked the question he cared about most, “Does that mean my pay for this trip will also be supercharged?”
