Just call me Thor - Chapter 273

Chapter 273: This meant the Eye of Truth could undergo its second awakening
The Force of Nature fell into Master Fool’s hands, and the rest no longer required Mike’s attention.

He took the opportunity to check the upgrades to Thor’s Sea.

Thor’s Sea now had two additional elements: Lightning and Nature.

[Lightning Sea] had two effects:

1. Within the influence range of Thor’s Sea, golden lightning randomly generates, dealing (30,000 + 3000% Spell Power) Lightning damage upon hitting enemies, and applying debuffs like slow and paralysis.

Up to 30 golden lightning bolts can be generated per second.

2. Using Lightning Sea on a single target generates a Lightning Cage, within which displacement skills cannot be used. The cage has a durability of 300,000.

Touching the Lightning Cage deals (50,000 + 3000% Spell Power) damage and causes a 0.1s stun.

The Lightning Cage can exist for up to 60 seconds.

“One for damage, one for trapping enemies. Looks pretty good.”

Reading the description of the Lightning Sea, Mike nodded slightly.

For him, even without the influence of the Force of Nature, Mike would prioritize enhancing the Lightning Sea.

Combined with Charge Up, Lightning skills were undoubtedly Mike’s most powerful offensive tools.

In terms of damage, Mike lacked nothing.

On the contrary, the Lightning Cage gave Mike another means to deal with enemies.

After reviewing the Lightning enhancements, Mike turned to the Nature element.

[Nature Sea]: Generates a Nature element shield to absorb damage for Mike.

Beyond the basic application, Mike’s current [Shadow], [Water], [Lightning], and [Nature] elements could have various combinations.

For example, with the combination of [Lightning] and [Water], golden lightning could jump between water spheres, dealing high damage to enemies.

However, these combinations required Mike to explore and develop them himself.

The enhancements to Thor’s Sea stopped there.

Mike chose not to continue buying materials for further enhancement, not just because he was stingy with money.

Continuous enhancement of Thor’s Sea would destabilize Mike’s foundation.

He needed time to digest and stabilize, and only then seek further advancement.

Otherwise, throwing all the materials in at once might waste money and ruin the effort!

“Thor’s Sea can’t be further enhanced, and the Force of Nature is being reforged.”

Mike pondered how he could further enhance his strength.

To truly defeat Calderon, he needed at least the power to protect himself!

“Leveling up, second awakening of talent, repairing Nightmare’s Breeze, enhancing Thunderclap Hammer…”

Mike looked around. To become stronger, he had two main directions: external aids and self-improvement.

For self-improvement, leveling up and talent were paramount, no need to elaborate.

For equipment, Nightmare’s Breeze, as an SSS-grade item, would undoubtedly be powerful once repaired.

Thunderclap Hammer was Mike’s most powerful weapon, but it still had many restrictions. Once fully unlocked, he might already be a true Supreme Being.

Mike suddenly remembered.

“Right, I need to find Professor Cedric!”

Shadow Nine had told Mike that to win the third match, he must one-hit kill Calderon.

Following this logic, Mike summarized three key points:

1. He must make Calderon use Fate’s Reversal in advance.

With Fate’s Reversal, Calderon could survive even near-death for 5 seconds.

But Fate’s Reversal had a glaring flaw: a long cooldown!

If Mike could bait Calderon into using Fate’s Reversal, he would have a 24-hour window to one-hit kill him!

2. He must bypass Calderon’s armor.

With SSS-grade armor, Calderon completely countered Mike. Skills like Thunderclap Strike were ineffective, unable to unleash their full power.

3. He must deal massive damage instantly.

Even without SSS-grade armor, Calderon’s health was substantial.

Considering all possibilities, assuming Calderon had 100 health, Mike’s personality dictated that this strike should deal at least 10 million damage to be considered a kill.

Mike had to combine all the information he had to find the perfect winning strategy.

These three points were increasingly difficult.

Achieving all of them in such a short time was extremely challenging!

Fortunately, Mike had already thought of ways to tackle them one by one.

He took out his LoneWolf badge and first contacted Professor Gregory, who then connected him to Cedric.

Mike sent a message: “Senior, can you help me with a small favor?”

Cedric Blackwell: “No time.”

Mike was prepared for this and sent his pre-prepared explanation: “I’m preparing to fight Calderon’s false body, but I’ve encountered some trouble recently and need help from someone stronger than Calderon!”

Cedric Blackwell: “I have time now, explain in detail.”

Soon, Mike explained half of his plan, and Cedric readily agreed.

Cedric Blackwell: “Alright.”

Cedric Blackwell: “You set the time, and we’ll meet in the Forest of Truth.”

It was clear that Cedric was more than willing to help if it meant making Calderon suffer.

Returning to Earth, Mike acted as if nothing had happened, continuing with the training camp’s routine.

Eating, training, going to the restroom to poop…

In the blink of an eye, night fell, and it was almost time to challenge the Tower of Truth again.

Before midnight, Mike made a trip to the Trade Secret Realm and found Foreskin.

“Borrow a set of level 286 equipment and a staff!”

Mike knew how to save money.

If he could borrow, why buy?

He planned to clear several floors tonight, and his level would surely increase.

Buying equipment now would be a waste!

Foreskin had never encountered such a request but had no reason to refuse.

In the end, Mike successfully borrowed the equipment for 200,000 gold coins.

Since the Force of Nature was being reforged and would take half a day,

Mike switched to a staff with Lightning and Fire elements, which added Fire damage to Lightning skills.

With the equipment sorted, Mike waited quietly for midnight.

“Boom—”

The clock struck, and the Tower of Truth opened!

“Target: Twenty-third floor!”

23, 24, 25, 26, as interconnected floors, Mike planned to conquer them all in one go tonight!

As a maze instance, the difficulty… was almost nonexistent!

[Trust me, no problem!]

Clearly, the Eye of Truth was already excited.

Not just because of tonight’s instance, but more importantly… Mike would reach level 300 tonight!

This meant the Eye of Truth could undergo its second awakening!
