Just call me Thor - Chapter 373

Chapter 373: You have arrived, child of destiny
“Where are the scars Ares left on you?” Mike pressed.

The White Wolf, restrained by the blood clan’s secret technique, let out a warning growl from its throat. Hearing Mike’s words, a confused look appeared in the White Wolf King’s eyes.

“Who’s Ares? And who are you?”

Mike and Vladimir exchanged glances. This wasn’t the White Wolf King they were looking for, but it was definitely a White Wolf King.

“There’s only one possibility then.” Mike’s face darkened. The secrets of the 30th floor were more terrifying than he had imagined! “Could this be… a moment in the past?”

Vladimir tried to follow Mike’s train of thought. “Master, you mean this one we’ve encountered is the White Wolf King at his birth?”

“Going back in time?” Vladimir shook his head repeatedly, unable to believe Mike’s reasoning. “Even in the Tower of Truth, that’s too crazy!”

Mike thought for a moment, then asked, “Vladimir, in all your time on the 10th floor, have you ever encountered anyone whose talent was related to time?”

Vladimir instantly thought of the answer and almost blurted it out.

Ares!

Since Ares’s talent was related to time, and there had been cycle-type instances in the Tower of Truth, with different instances having completely different time flows, then the 30th floor being a period in the past seemed quite reasonable.

“We’ve also overlooked one point.” Mike spoke again, “What’s before us may not be the real past.”

“You mean…?” Vladimir’s eyes lit up, immediately understanding.

“Historically, there was Brookfield Town, there was Remus, and the White Wolf King did come from Brookfield Town. However, everything in the Tower of Truth is just a replica of the past!”

If that was the case, then it made much more sense. Reversing the rules of time and forcibly bringing a period from the past to the present was something even a Supreme Being probably couldn’t do.

However, if it was just replicating the White Wolf King’s life, making a fake, then the difficulty and significance were not on the same level, and it wouldn’t involve the laws of time.

With the Tower of Truth’s abilities, it could definitely do that.

“There are two key questions.” Mike pointed out sharply.

“First, why is there no cycle in the 30th-floor storyline?”

“Second, if the young White Wolf King is here, where did the old White Wolf King go?”

These two questions were related to Mike’s SSSSS rating.

On the 10th floor, the answer was right there in plain sight: a daily cycle.

On the 20th floor, Mike met Cetus and didn’t realize until the end that it was the whale fall that held the key to cycle.

What about the cycle on the 30th floor?

If there was cycle, where did it happen?

If there was no cycle, what was preventing it from happening?

These were all questions that Mike needed to find out for himself.

And all they had in front of them was a clueless White Wolf King.

Mike continued to ask, “Do you know Remus?”

Remus, finding him would provide a 60% Exploration Rate, was a key figure in this conquest.

The White Wolf snorted coldly. “Remus is dead!”

[He’s lying!] The Eye of Truth immediately gave a prompt.

Mike said coldly, “Oh.”

Turning to Vladimir, Mike said, “Let him go. Keeping him will only waste our food.”

“Understood!”

Vladimir snapped his fingers, and all the blood clan secret techniques dissipated at the same time, and the young White Wolf was free.

The White Wolf brushed itself off and ran into the distance without looking back.

“Master, what do we do now?”

They had finally caught the White Wolf King, but it turned out to be a fake.

“I have a feeling the real White Wolf King is on this floor.” Mike mused for a moment and ordered, “You follow this White Wolf, record what he does, and let me know immediately if there’s anything unusual. Be careful not to be discovered.”

Vladimir nodded repeatedly. “Understood!”

With that, his figure dispersed, transforming into countless bats that flew off into the distance.

With his current strength, it was a easy task to follow a White Wolf that had just been born.

Vladimir followed the White Wolf, while Mike had other things to do.

“Jeremy!”

Jeremy appeared before Mike reluctantly, his face full of resentment.

He looked around and breathed a sigh of relief. “There are no bad guy on this floor.”

Hearing Jeremy say that, Mike was relieved.

Meeting the Supreme Demon God’s projection on the 28th and 29th floors in a row was a bit too unlucky.

No Supreme Demon God on the 30th floor.

That was great!

After calling Jeremy out, Mike took the initiative to ask, “Are there any bugs on this floor that we can exploit?”

Jeremy: ???

He quickly said, “The Tower Spirit asked us to help manage some of the authority of the Tower of Truth. If I help you do this kind of thing, I’ll be in trouble if I’m found out!”

“I was just asking.”

Mike asked his second question, “Can you help me find a few people? They’re all human participants. That shouldn’t be against the rules, right?”

Jeremy thought for a moment and shook his head.

“No, it’s not.”

“Malphite, where is he?”

Mike gave Anderson’s name within the Tower of Truth.

Since Anderson was waiting for him at the entrance to Brookfield Town, it meant that Anderson had come prepared.

Even after they parted ways, Anderson would be waiting for Thor at some crucial location.

In that case, Mike would simply reverse their roles and go to Anderson!

Once he got there, Mike would understand why that place was crucial.

“Found him!”

Jeremy gave a set of coordinates, and Mike grabbed him and used Wind’s Reach to move quickly.

A few minutes later, the two arrived at the entrance of a cave somewhere in the wilderness.

The cave was pitch black inside, and you couldn’t see the end of it.

It seemed to be an underground cavern, and cold air blew out, dispelling the heat of the wilderness.

Mike touched his cloak with his hand, and Cerberus made his grand entrance!

“Tripod, go and scout ahead!”

Cerberus was used to it and didn’t resist at all, happily running into the cave.

It wasn’t long before Cerberus came running out, a frisbee in the mouth of his middle head.

“This…”

Mike was instantly confused.

All they could confirm at the moment was that the cave was temporarily safe.

Mike had Cerberus and Jeremy enter the cave together.

“Jeremy, don’t be afraid. I’m in your shadow, protecting you!”

Jeremy was the Tower Spirit in charge of the floors below the 30th floor, and as long as he didn’t encounter the Supreme Demon God, no other being could threaten him.

However, with Thor’s protection, he would have a chance to escape even if he did encounter the Supreme Demon God.

After a few turns in the cave, their vision suddenly opened up.

There was a whole other world underground!

A beautiful village appeared before Mike’s eyes.

There were people of all ages, and Mike even saw air conditioners installed in many of the wooden houses, which was very modern.

And Cerberus’s frisbee was picked up from here.

“You have arrived, child of destiny.”

An old man with white hair, accompanied by Anderson and the others, came up to them and looked down at Jeremy’s shadow.

The old man said shakily, “I know you don’t like that title, but I… I don’t know what else to call you…”

Mike, in the shadows, didn’t rush to show himself, but asked instead.

“How do you know I don’t like it?”

The old man was silent for a moment, then spoke again.

“You… or rather, all of you… don’t like to be called children of destiny.”

Thor stepped out of Jeremy’s shadow.

The old man’s eyes glazed over, as if he were seeing the ghost of someone from the past.

Mike’s gaze fell on the old man, and he asked, “Besides me, who else have you met?”

“All the children of destiny.” The old man answered earnestly. “Or rather… all the potential Supreme Beings.”

Mike fell silent again, his eyes fixed on the old man.

[Sage Mode activated…]

With the trial version of his third awakening, Mike wanted to see through the old man’s origins.

As Sage Mode was activated, more and more prompts popped up.

[Human from the 10th floor of the Tower of Truth]

[Rescued from Mistveil Castle by Morpheus three hundred years ago and freed from slavery]

[Fought for humanity alongside Ares one hundred and ninety-two years ago, saving them from the blood clan invasion]

[Transformed into plants ninety-nine years ago due to certain unspeakable reasons, escaping the suffering of cycle]

[Recently reverted to human form and settled on the 30th floor after Thor conquered the 10th floor with an SSSSS rating, breaking the cycle…]
