Just call me Thor - Chapter 218

Chapter 218: Seventy percent is yours
When Thor and Shadow Ten left, Professor Gregory soon welcomed the rescue team.

Even though the mist around was not thick, both sides still kept a distance, shouting to verify identities.

Following Professor Gregory’s instructions, Shadow Eleven asked,

“Joseph, when Shadow Nine slashed you back then, was he holding the blade in his right hand or left hand?”

Joseph instinctively replied,

“Right hand… no! It was the left hand!”

Professor Gregory nodded slowly, “So concerned about his image, it must be him. Let them come over.”

Shadow Nine using his left hand?

Joseph, a ninth-tier Lord, wasn’t worthy of that.

As someone from the same generation as Morpheus, Shadow Nine, and Calderon, Professor Gregory, though not powerful, knew secrets far beyond others.

Shadow Nine wasn’t just left-handed.

Shadow Nine with the blade in his left hand and Shadow Nine with the blade in his right hand were two completely different states!

After Joseph and the others joined Professor Gregory, they immediately began building defenses.

With the ore and design plans left by Thor, constructing the fortress was much easier.

“Anderson, the quality of this dirt on you is pretty good. Bear with it.”

Kaelum tore off a large chunk of the dirt armor, and Anderson’s skin was immediately covered by the dirt armor again. Once the new dirt armor solidified, Kaelum tore it off again.

It was like peeling off a scab after a wound healed, repeating the process continuously.

To save his life earlier, Anderson had over-activated his talent and was now in a semi-petrified state, essentially without combat power.

To quickly get through this weak period, he needed to keep shedding the dirt armor.

However, this process was somewhat inhumane.

Half an hour later, the defense line established by the team soon faced demon creatures.

With high-quality ore supporting them, the various mechanical items they carried came into play.

Under the barrage of concentrated fire, the demon creatures couldn’t get close to the defense line and were killed.

Inside the defense line, a Mechanic even began manufacturing ammunition.

“6,000 tons of A-grade ore, 1,200 tons of S-grade ore… we could blow up the entire plane!”

He had never fought such a well-funded battle!

While the defense line was hot with action, Joseph found time to exchange information with Professor Gregory and plan the next steps.

After a brief discussion, Joseph frowned and said,

“So, Thor and Maxen have both attracted the attention of the demon creatures and are actively clearing demon god seeds?”

“That’s right.”

After receiving confirmation, Joseph’s face changed, as if he had thought of something bad.

He said urgently, “But the enemy has ninth-tier Lord demon creatures. Maxen can handle them easily, but Thor is only level 200! Professor Gregory, quickly summon Thor back!”

Hearing Joseph’s words, Professor Gregory suddenly laughed and changed the subject, “Joseph, do you know the battle records of our human potential Supreme Beings at level 200?”

Joseph was stunned and honestly replied, “I was of the same generation as Supreme Being Ares, and I’ve heard a bit. It’s said he killed thirteen Chiefs.”

In Ares’s rise, the Blood War had ended, and humanity was officially counterattacking the Abyssal Plane.

Ares, with just one person and one sword, slaughtered on the front lines, causing a sensation.

Professor Gregory took a sip of water and said slowly,

“Supreme Being Morpheus, at level 200, killed the son of the fifth demon god, which counts as killing a third-tier Lord.

Supreme Being Ares, at level 200, comprehended [Star Pluck] in battle and slashed a fifth-tier demon Lord with one sword.

Supreme Being Apollo, at level 200, ventured into the abyss, causing several demon Lords to disappear, their whereabouts unknown. The strongest among them was an eighth-tier Lord!”

Putting down his cup, Professor Gregory said disdainfully, “Thor, as the fourth generation Supreme Being of humanity, killing a ninth-tier demon Lord, is that too much?”

Wow—

After Professor Gregory’s explanation, Joseph suddenly felt it wasn’t too much at all!

At level 200, for a potential Supreme Being, strength was already a qualitative change.

Moreover, Thor had Shadow Ten with him, not alone.

Maybe they really could kill a ninth-tier demon Lord!

…

“A ninth-tier demon Lord is targeting us!”

Mike’s tone was very serious and earnest, “Amari, I miss Professor Gregory. Let’s go back!”

We’ll explore the area ahead later!

That’s a ninth-tier demon Lord, 780 levels higher than Mike!

Thor’s cautiousness was very genuine at this moment.

Amari nodded, “Alright.”

Shadow Nine had instructed him to follow Thor’s lead in everything, and Amari was strictly adhering to that.

He also thought it was time to go back.

Being targeted by a ninth-tier Lord demon creature was a troublesome matter. Shadow Ten wasn’t as powerful as Maxen.

Among ninth-tier Lords, determining the winner was easy; a few moves would reveal each other’s strengths and weaknesses.

But to decide life and death?

Fighting for half a month was common!

The demon creature lurking in the shadows was likely not as strong as Amari.

But Amari also had to protect Thor, which naturally added more considerations in a fight.

From the shadow, Mike spoke again, “wait, I have one more question.”

“Go ahead.”

“How much do you get paid for killing a ninth-tier Lord?”

Amari fell silent, suddenly feeling this was a question he couldn’t answer!

If he told Thor the real answer, with this kid’s personality, he’d definitely go crazy!

After a long silence, Amari said, “I… I’ve never killed one, so I’m not sure about the market price.”

He didn’t know, but the Eye of Truth did!

[Killing a first-tier Lord is worth 4,000 Lord merits]

[Killing a ninth-tier Lord is worth 36,000 Lord merits]

Here, “Lord” specifically refers to demon creature corps Lords. Wild demon creatures like Cerberus, without corps training and demon god blessings, wouldn’t yield any rewards.

36,000 Lord merits!

Mike’s eyes widened!

How much had Maxen earned on this trip?

Mike had saved for several days to earn just over 30,000 Lord merits.

Maxen could earn the same amount by casually killing a ninth-tier Lord!

Mike suddenly felt the value of his labor was being devalued!

“Wait a minute….”

Mike quickly realized another problem,

“Logically, Maxen has killed many demon race Lords. Why is he still so poor?”

“Poor?”

Amari was puzzled. When had Maxen ever been associated with poverty?

“Oh, there’s something you might not know.”

Amari explained, “90% of the merits Maxen earns from killing demon creatures go directly to the Nightmare Corps, 9% to the Valor Sword Corps, and only 1% to him.”

“Rumor has it, and I emphasize ‘rumor,’ that Supreme Being Morpheus said he was holding it for Maxen. As for Supreme Being Ares, it seems to be because Maxen’s sword skills weren’t up to par or something.”

“Oh, I see.” Mike felt a pang of sympathy for Maxen.

Maxen, with two Supreme Godfathers, seemed incredibly glamorous but had silently sacrificed much more.

The topic of Maxen came to an end.

From the shadow, Thor’s voice came, “Bro Amari, how about we split the merits from killing the ninth-tier Lord, seventy-thirty?”

As expected!

Shadow Ten sighed inwardly. To Thor, a ninth-tier Lord demon race was like a walking bag of Lord merits, impossible to refuse!

Seventy-thirty split….

Listening to Thor’s proposal, Amari slowly nodded and said in a deep voice, “Seventy percent is yours!”
