Just call me Thor - Chapter 275

Chapter 275: We were having a good conversation, why commit suicide?
Although Mike chose this path, deciding to face the sea god, it didn’t mean he abandoned caution.

Planning before action and being prepared for danger had almost become second nature to Mike.

Mike recalled in his mind, “The last time I dealt with the sea god was when he tried to stop my third class change!”

Mike remembered it clearly:

During the class change on the nineteenth floor, the sea god’s projection appeared at the last moment, trying to delay time to win.

From this small incident alone, one could see the sea god’s character.

Such a cautious being, going to great lengths to leave a gift for Mike in the Tower of Truth, which might make Mike stronger.

Was the sea god that foolish?

Mike didn’t believe it.

There was only one possibility: Mike becoming stronger was beneficial to the sea god.

“Speculation is useless. I’ll find out what happens by trying!”

Mike raised his hand, and a shadow darted out.

“Tripod, go!”

Cerberus was summoned, leading the way.

If it were before, it might have looked back at Mike meaningfully.

But now?

It was used to it.

With Cerberus paving the way and the Eye of Truth providing timely reminders, Mike proceeded cautiously.

This maze passage was peculiar.

The surrounding walls and floor emitted a faint blue glow, with water elements unusually dense.

It was thanks to these water elements that Mike recognized the sea god’s identity.

However, the entire passage was unusually hot, and as Mike advanced, the temperature kept rising.

“Thor’s Sea·Water!”

A water sphere appeared before Mike, forming a water element shield on his skin, isolating him from the heat.

“Isn’t this the sea god? Why is the fire element so active?”

Mike, possessing a fire element class himself, was sensitive to these elements. The simultaneous activity of water and fire elements was abnormal.

Cerberus encountered no danger, so Mike followed, continuing to explore.

After walking about a thousand yards, the passage suddenly opened up.

Mike arrived in a spacious room and stopped, warily eyeing the space ahead, “The space ahead seems a bit distorted.”

Swish—

The sound of waves.

Accompanied by the smell of the sea, a familiar power descended, and the sea god’s projection appeared before Mike.

“Thunderclap Strike!”

Without hesitation, Mike struck decisively, killing the projection first!

“Wait…”

Before the sea god could finish a sentence, his projection was shattered by Mike.

Mike’s expression was serious, not relaxing at all.

The sea god’s projection that had just descended was powerful. If allowed to fully manifest, it wouldn’t be weaker than a nine-tier Lord!

No matter what the sea god said, Mike wouldn’t let a potential enemy fully appear before him.

Water elements gathered again, and the sea god descended once more.

However, this time the sea god’s aura was weaker, and the projection’s strength was only around a one-tier Lord.

“Thunderclap Strike!”

Mike struck again, shattering the sea god’s projection and interrupting his descent.

This time, the sea god’s projection did something different.

Using water, the sea god wrote a line on the ground,

“I have something to say!”

The sea god condensed a projection for the third time, this time with only the strength of a Chief, making it safe for Mike.

“Thunderclap Strike!”

History repeated itself.

The sea god’s projection left a desperate question mark.

?

He couldn’t understand what Thor was trying to do!

The sea god had reduced his strength to Chief tier, and Thor could easily defeat him, so why strike again?

Mike left a line in response to the sea god: “Within level 100, maximum nine-tier Soldier strength!”

In his temple, the sea god, watching the scene, fell silent.

The sea god realized once again what kind of being he was dealing with in Thor.

With someone like this targeting him, he was destined for no peace.

Thor’s actions also solidified the sea god’s resolve; he had to see this through!

Only then could he completely rid himself of the threat that was Thor!

The sea god descended for the fourth time, this time adhering to Thor’s requirements, at level 100, nine-tier Soldier strength.

Finally, there was no Thunderclap Strike.

Before the sea god’s projection could breathe a sigh of relief, Thor suddenly spoke,

“Tripod, go!”

“Meow—”

Cerberus roared and charged, unleashing a frenzy of attacks on the sea god’s projection.

After severely injuring the projection, Cerberus returned to Mike’s side.

“Now I feel safer. Speak, what do you want?”

Mike looked at the barely alive sea god’s projection, his expression cold, without a trace of sympathy.

This old guy, during his first descent, seemed friendly but harbored hidden malice!

If Mike hadn’t been prepared and struck first, allowing the nine-tier Lord-strength sea god’s projection to fully descend…

It wouldn’t have made much difference.

Even if Mike struck later, he could still kill the sea god’s projection first!

But the sea god’s projection had indeed harbored ill intentions towards Mike.

Mike was certain that the sea god hadn’t intended to reason with him initially.

Such an arrogant god wouldn’t reason with a weaker human unless absolutely necessary.

The repeatedly weakened sea god’s projection quickly spoke, “I want to make a deal with you.”

Without even hearing the content of the deal, Mike directly said, “I refuse.”

The sea god’s projection, like a poor negotiator, continued to raise the stakes, “It’s absolutely beneficial to you, and there’s money to be made!”

Mike shook his head, refusing again, “Until you repay the 2.15 million Lord merits you owe me, I won’t make any deals with you. It’s a matter of principle.”

Sea god’s projection: ???

When did he owe Thor money?

And since when did Thor have principles?

There were so many points to refute in that statement that the sea god didn’t know where to start.

Mike tapped the handle of his hammer rhythmically and said, “Even if we don’t mention the 2.24 million you owe me, we still have other accounts to settle. Your daughters wreaked havoc in the Tower of Truth. If a father doesn’t teach, it’s his fault. I helped you clean up your family, purify your household. You should pay for that.”

Sea god: …

It was the first time he had encountered someone so shameless.

Mike killed his two daughters and still had the nerve to ask for money?

Mike continued, “Also, last time in the class change realm, you wasted over two hours of my time. This indirectly led to me being severely injured in the abyss, nearly dying. You need to compensate me for medical expenses and emotional distress…”

“Because of your curse, the Sea of Truth required extra expenses. Just one element’s materials cost me 800,000 Lord merits!”

After tallying all the accounts, Mike snorted coldly and asked, “So, how do you plan to repay these debts?”

The sea god never expected his interaction with Thor to turn into a farce.

Thinking about it made him furious!

Boom—

The sea god’s projection slammed its head against the wall, shattering into countless fragments and dissipating before Mike.

Mike was stunned, looking bewildered. “We were having a good conversation, why commit suicide?”

What was the sea god doing?

Did he lose his mind?

Wait…

The sea god hadn’t repaid his debt and dared to run away?
