Just call me Thor - Chapter 302
Chapter 302: Thor, stay safe
Strong and prosperous.
The elite human corps appeared outside the First Abyss without restraint. How could one not be excited?
With everyone gathered, the place was teeming with human corps.
Calderon suddenly felt that since everyone was here, it would be a waste not to kill a demon god.
He turned to the second demon god and seriously considered, “How about you die for a bit? I can’t let my brothers come all this way for nothing.”
Second demon god: …
Calderon sat on the stone, with Maxen beside him. He suddenly asked, “Last time you came to the coffin to find me, what did you say? You said you wanted to see a fireworks show?”
Maxen was taken aback and shook his head, “I did come to find you, but you were asleep and didn’t wake up!”
Maxen didn’t understand why Calderon was suddenly bringing this up.
“Oh, so you really wanted to see a fireworks show,” Calderon muttered to himself, ignoring Maxen’s response. “Since it’s your wish, I must fulfill it. Consider it a Christmas gift.”
Maxen: Excuse me? Are you kidding? It’s August, Christmas is months away!
Calderon pointed to a nine-tier Lord in the corps, “Evander, take some people to the Second Abyss and set off some fireworks to celebrate.”
Then, Calderon turned to an Ultimate Lord in the crowd, “Birch, take the rest and set off fireworks in the Fifth Abyss.”
These two were Calderon’s right-hand men back in the day, his most outstanding students, and top figures in humanity. When facing Calderon, they were respectful and deferential.
“Yes sir!”
After acknowledging the order, they turned and shouted,
“Pass it down, Ultimate Calderon orders, burn the Second Abyss, bombard the Fifth Abyss!”
“Pass it down, Ultimate Calderon orders, incinerate the Second Abyss, flatten the Fifth Abyss!”
“Pass it down…”
Some words got more exaggerated as they spread.
The elite corps split into two groups, marching grandly towards the Second and Fifth Abysses.
Calderon, like an old man nearing the end of his days, propped himself up on the stone, trying to stand. Maxen quickly stepped forward to help him up.
“Maxen, you go with them,” Calderon said. “From now on, Evander and Birch will follow you.”
This statement carried a hint of official endorsement. Before his feigned death, Calderon was the strongest leader among the human corps. Now, he was ‘retiring with honor.’
The next mission naturally fell to Maxen. It was only fitting for the son to inherit the father’s role.
Some people, though not father and son in name, were closer than blood relatives.
Although the punch to kill the Archdemon wasn’t thrown, Calderon knew he still had something to do. Whether he lived or died after completing it, he wasn’t sure. There was less than a 30% chance he’d come out alive.
Calderon suddenly thought of something amusing. If it were Thor facing this situation, even with a 90% chance of survival, he wouldn’t take the risk.
Calderon chuckled, the sound like a broken accordion, accompanied by violent coughing.
“Uncle, are you okay?” Maxen frowned, reluctant to leave.

Calderon waved his hand, “I’m fine, I won’t die yet.” He leaned close to Maxen’s ear and loudly whispered, “I’m faking it.”
Maxen: …
Uncle, everyone heard that. Your act was for nothing.
Calderon scanned the crowd and found Thor, asking, “Will you accompany Maxen to the abyss?”
Mike shook his head vigorously, refusing, “No, I prefer spending time with the elderly.”
Everyone’s eyes focused on Thor. Do you think you’re funny?
Hiss—
Mike realized everyone was so old! The average age here was over 200, and he was just 18!
Maxen led the elite corps to the Second and Fifth Abysses, executing the Ultimate Token’s orders.
Before leaving, Maxen turned to the second and fifth demon gods and cheerfully said, “Hey guys, gotta run some errands. Just popping over to give the Second and Fifth Abysses a little surprise attack. Don’t miss me too much, I’ll be back in a jiffy!”
Watching the corps march away, Mike stood beside Cedric and whispered, “Won’t this violate the Supreme Agreement?”
The Supreme Agreement was a pact between the first human Supreme Being, Morpheus, and the Supreme Demon God. For centuries, humanity and the demon race had fought within the framework of the Supreme Agreement. Maxen leading so many to cause havoc clearly didn’t align with the Agreement’s terms.
“No worries,” Cedric explained. “The first clause of the Supreme Agreement states that once the Supreme Abyssal opens, all terms of the Agreement are temporarily void.”
Mike: …
Wait! Doesn’t that mean demon gods and demon race strongmen can attack me at will?! That’s dangerous!
As Mike thought this, the crack in the Supreme Abyssal stopped expanding, and an even more terrifying aura emanated from it.
Even without the Eye of Truth’s reminder, Mike knew the passage was open! Though not fully stable, for top fighters, as long as there was a path, the condition of the path was secondary!
Shadow Nine, standing before the crack in the Supreme Abyssal, turned and said, “Madman, dare to join me in a suicide mission?”
“Why not? Don’t worry, even if you die, I won’t.”
Calderon’s body straightened again, as if infused with new strength. His power didn’t decrease but increased, quickly returning to level 995, and he could break through to 996 at any moment!
Calderon strode forward, stepping on the Archdemon’s face. He looked down at the Archdemon and sneered, “Before I return from the Supreme Abyssal, you stay put. Don’t move!”
Calderon didn’t need to say more. The killing intent in his words was clear. If the Archdemon dared to move, his fate would be sealed—death.
The two strongest Ultimate Lords of humanity, Calderon and Shadow Nine, stood before the Supreme Abyssal passage and charged in!
From within the passage, Shadow Nine’s raspy voice echoed,
“Thor, stay safe!”
“Heh heh heh—”
The laughter was filled with pride and arrogance! Shadow Nine had left Mike behind and ventured into the Supreme Abyssal alone?
Mike stared at the crack in the Supreme Abyssal. For a moment, he couldn’t understand what Shadow Nine was up to.
Mike had thought he had seen through Shadow Nine’s plan. But reaching this point, Mike suddenly had a new realization.
He might have been wrong from the start!
Logically, with the Supreme Abyssal appearing, the Supreme Demon God awakening, Supreme Being Apollo battling the Supreme Demon God, and the Supreme Mark transitioning from Apollo to Thor, it was a complete process.
Mike’s initial thought was: Shadow Nine had expedited the emergence of the Supreme Abyssal, effectively speeding up every step of the process.
Pedal to the metal, Shadow Nine was fast-forwarding straight to the grand finale!
However, things seemed to be playing out differently than Mike had imagined.
