Just call me Thor - Chapter 631

Chapter 631: Earth
Looking at the petrified butterfly in his palm, Mike let out a soft sigh.

From the moment he awakened his talent, things had always been this way.

Mike always had a choice.

He could have chosen not to become a potential Supreme Being, not to fight the Supreme Demon God, not to stay, or not to return…

The era of Mike’s rise was different from the one three hundred years ago.

Three hundred years ago, humanity teetered on the brink of extinction, always one step away from annihilation.

Humanity had no choice.

Morpheus had no choice.

Ares had no choice.

Apollo had no choice.

But Mike was different.

The battles humanity had fought over the past three hundred years had turned “no choice” into “choice.”

It was that simple.

Mike put the butterfly away and watched as Apollo slowly turned to stone again.

He didn’t say anything more and turned to leave.

Apollo had said everything he could.

The remaining answers were ones Mike would have to find on his own.

The ties between Apollo and the Heavenly Realm’s world source ran too deep.

He needed time to sever those ties.

As for Mike’s situation, Apollo couldn’t get too involved.

Otherwise, if the Heavenly Realm’s world source got entangled, it would bring more harm than good.

This was something no one could help Mike with.

He had to rely on himself.

Fortunately, the Mike of today was more than capable of walking the final stretch of this journey on his own.

He left the Supreme Abyssal.

Not long after, a butterfly landed on Mike’s shoulder, its wings fluttering slightly as if it wanted to say something.

It seemed to want to persuade Mike or make him a promise.

Finally, the butterfly flapped its wings and said,

“The people you care about… they can all survive.”

This was the promise of the Heavenly Realm’s world source.

The butterfly valued Mike greatly.

It understood better than anyone that among all the Supreme Beings, Mike would be the strongest and most unique.

And because he wasn’t a being of this world, he had the best chance of killing the Supreme Demon God.

Anyone else could falter, but not Mike.

This was both a promise and a threat from the Heavenly Realm’s world source.

If Mike refused to follow the path fate had laid out, the result would be death—many deaths.

Many of the people Mike cared about would die.

Mike’s eyes narrowed slightly, a trace of disdain flashing across them.

“Are you threatening me?”

He cast a cold glance at the butterfly on his shoulder and said icily,

“Don’t push me, or I’ll kill you right now.”

The butterfly returned his gaze with equal coldness before silently flying away.

The negotiation had completely collapsed.

Core City of Truth.

It wasn’t time for humanity to climb the Tower yet.

Most of the NPCs here were living their own lives.

They came from various races, having used the Tower of Truth to survive the last Apocalypse.

On the streets, two figures walked side by side, unnoticed by the people around them.

Strolling through the Core City of Truth, Fool Master said casually,

“No matter what he chooses, he’ll come back.”

“Oh?”

Shadow One was surprised and asked,

“Why do you think so?”

“He left me half a copper coin.”

Fool Master flicked his fingers, and a half copper coin appeared, rolling between them.

With a light toss, the coin flew into the air and landed back in his palm.

Staring at the coin in his hand, Fool Master fell silent.

Shadow One, watching him, rolled her eyes internally.

She wanted to say, “Look at how happy you are—you’re like a three-year-old child.”

But she didn’t dare say it out loud.

Soon, Shadow One realized something was off.

Fool Master stood frozen in place, staring at the coin in his palm like a statue.

After observing him for a while, Shadow One asked,

“What’s wrong?”

Fool Master, looking bewildered, said,

“This isn’t my half copper coin…”

Meanwhile, in the Temple of Truth,

Pecker stared at Mike with an innocent expression and said,

“This really isn’t my half copper coin!”

Mike replied nonchalantly,

“Don’t worry about whose half copper coin it is. Just tell me—do you want it or not?”

Pecker: …

He hadn’t expected that after ten years, Mike would return as humanity’s Supreme Being.

In front of Mike, Pecker had no ability to resist.

Pecker didn’t continue the topic.

Instead, he looked at the Shadow Source in front of him and asked timidly,

“You’re really giving this back to me?”

“Do I look like I’m joking?” Mike rolled his eyes and said impatiently,

“If you don’t take it now, I might change my mind.”

“I’ll take it! I’ll take it!”

Pecker quickly retrieved the Shadow Source, still feeling as though he were dreaming.

No one understood the significance and value of the Shadow Source better than he did.

To advance further, Pecker needed the Shadow Source.

He just hadn’t expected it to be this… easy?

For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

“Alright, I’ve seen the Temple of Truth and done what I needed to do. Time to go.”

Mike wandered around the Temple of Truth, meeting some old acquaintances.

Having done everything he needed to, he patted Pecker on the head and said with a sigh,

“Back then, Little Nine didn’t mean to steal your stuff.”

“Little Nine?”

Pecker was momentarily confused and asked curiously,

“Do you mean Shadow Nine?”

Mike smiled and shook his head.

“When he wakes up, he’ll explain it to you himself.”

Shadow Nine was doing well—Mike had checked on him several times.

To fully restore him to human form, [Dream Come True] wasn’t enough.

[The Heart of Omnipotence] was also required.

And as the world source of the Heavenly Realm, the butterfly wouldn’t make any mistakes in this matter.

The reason was simple.

Among the nine generations of human Supreme Beings, any failure would jeopardize the grand plan to kill the Supreme Demon God.

The butterfly would take this very seriously—it wouldn’t tolerate failure.

When dealing with an opponent as rational and intelligent as the butterfly, its actions became predictable.

Before leaving, Mike looked at Pecker and said helplessly,

“You stole one of my gold coins.”

“Cough, cough…”

Pecker looked embarrassed and apologized,

“Sorry, it’s a habit.”

As the God of Thieves, he loved stealing things—it wasn’t really his fault.

“It’s fine. I forgive you.”

Mike didn’t take the gold coin back.

Instead, he let Pecker keep it as a memento.

“I’ll come back for it in a few years.”

With that, Mike’s figure disappeared from the Temple of Truth.

“What a good person,” Pecker said, holding the gold coin and sighing.

“Are all human Supreme Beings such good people?”

“The others are,” said a red-bearded god nearby, taking a swig of wine as he walked over.

“But I’m not sure about this one.”

Pecker held up the gold coin as proof.

“I stole a gold coin from him, and he didn’t even care!”

The red-bearded god just smiled and said nothing.

The next moment, Pecker panicked.

“Where’s my stuff?

Where’s all the stuff in my inventory?!”

All the treasures he had stolen over the years—gone!

Who could have stolen from the God of Thieves right under his nose?

The answer was obvious.

—

After leaving the Temple of Truth, Mike visited many places and met many people.

Old classmates, old friends—he met them all in various ways.

The only commonality was that Mike never revealed his identity as a Supreme Being.

He wasn’t one to show off.

There was no need to tell them that Mike was Thor.

Once everything was resolved, he would tell them the truth.

Mike had more important things to do.

On a quiet night, when no one was watching,

Mike took out the petrified butterfly from his pocket.

Without hesitation, he crushed it, opening the path home.

As the glowing portal pulled Mike in,

He finally understood why Apollo had never given him the complete Supreme Mark.

At least, not yet.

If he had, Mike wouldn’t have been able to return home.

Thor’s full power would have been too much for the portal to handle.

After a moment of spatial distortion, Mike found himself outside a blue planet.

The planet looked somewhat unfamiliar to him.

A white dog peeked out from behind Mike, looking at the distant planet.

A bold, unmistakable notification appeared before Mike’s eyes:

[Earth]
