Long ago, the final battle of the Supre Abyssal unfolded before Mike's eyes.
Facing the strongest, most complete Supre Demon God in existence, this was a battle of unimaginable difficulty.
The heavens shattered, the earth crumbled.
Mike couldn't find the words to describe what he was witnessing.
The clash between the two combatants had already surpassed his understanding. Their
attacks and defenses operated on a level even beyond the source itself.
Perhaps only when Mike beca true Supre Being would he be able to comprehend what he was seeing today.
He kept his eyes wide open, refusing to miss a single detail.
But soon, Mike noticed sothing strange.
"Morpheus isn't even level 1000?"
Mike was utterly stunned.
Morpheus, not even at level 1000, had co to face the Supre Demon God in single combat?
Quickly, Mike realized the problem.
"The Supre Abyssal was opened prematurely. Nathan didn't even have the chance to reach level 1000!"
It was only at this mont that Mike understood just how despicable the Archdemon truly
was.
A surge of anger rose in Mike's chest, his teeth grinding in fury.
Archdemon, you deserve to die!
The premature opening of the Supre Abyssal left Nathan with no choice. If Morpheus had chosen not to fight, the Supre Demon God would have swept across Earth, destroying everything.
As long as humanity existed, the Supre Demon God would never rest easy.
Among all the races, only humanity posed a true threat to the Supre Demon God.
Thus, Nathan had no choice but to fight.
He had to co.
Apollo, noticing Mike's state, spoke again.
"Watch."
After a mont's thought, he added patiently, "The premature opening wasn't entirely a bad thing."
Apollo didn't elaborate further.
If he had to explain everything with words, what was the point of bringing Thor here?
Mike, after being prompted, quickly understood Apollo's aning.
The Archdemon had indeed forced the Supre Abyssal open, catching Nathan unprepared.
But the Supre Demon God wasn't prepared either!
Years ago, when the Supre Demon God was unscathed, he had the power to control the timing of the Supre Abyssal's opening.
However, the Truth Source surrounding the abyss had fused with too many Supre Beings, becoming an uncontrollable monster.
Nathan hadn't reached level 1000, but the Supre Demon God was also dealing with his own unresolved issues.
The Archdemon's sudden actions had disrupted both sides.
In hindsight, Nathan might have even gained an advantage.
Mike refocused on the battle.
Nathan, locked in combat with the Supre Demon God, was clearly at a disadvantage due to his lower level.
Even with a complete Supre Mark, he was struggling.
The situation grew increasingly dire, tilting further against Morpheus.
As a spectator, Mike's heart clenched.
At this rate, there was no way to win.
If not for the Supre Demon God's own issues, Morpheus would have already fallen.
Then, at the most critical mont, Mike witnessed sothing he would never forget. Cornered and pushed to his limits, Morpheus... broke through.
As light radiated from Morpheus's body, his aura surged, and the tide of the battle shifted.
Mike was at a loss for words.
He never imagined Morpheus could be this fierce.
It was the first ti Mike had seen soone turn the tables so decisively in such a dire situation.
The twists and turns of the battle repeatedly defied Mike's expectations.
After reaching level 1000, a new phenonon occurred. A beam of white light descended, forcibly taking Morpheus away.
"This is..."
Mike froze, then quickly realized what was happening.
Ascension!
Morpheus was being forcibly ascended!
Under normal circumstances, with the Supre Mark in hand, Morpheus could have remained
in this world.
But his ascension was likely the result of the Supre Demon God's interference!
Mike imdiately recalled sothing he had heard before:
Nathan had a chance to survive the battle in the Supre Abyssal.
Now he understood.
The chance lay here!
The Supre Demon God, unwilling to pay the price of a prolonged fight with Morpheus, had
simply sent him away.
From the Supre Demon God's perspective, it was a brilliant move.
Looking down, Mike noticed sothing else interesting.
Nathan had ascended, but his shadow remained behind.
For a mont, Mike couldn't help but laugh.
As he pondered how Nathan might return to the battlefield, a mountain broke through the void, descending from the heavens and crashing into the Supre Abyssal with devastating
force.
Even the Supre Demon God was gravely injured.
The mountain had co from the Heavenly Realm!
Level 1000 Morpheus, after ascending to the Heavenly Realm, had ignored his own injuries,
burned his source, and returned to the battlefield!
Supre Being Morpheus... had brought a mountain back to the fight!
In truth, it wasn't just a mountain.
He had carried an entire island, paving a path from the Heavenly Realm back to the mortal
world.
By the ti the island was used up, only the mountain remained.
Not only had Nathan returned from the Heavenly Realm, but he had also taken a few seconds
to clear the final floor of the Tower of Truth.
Level 1000, having conquered 100 floors, ignited his divine fire, forged his divine kingdom,
and wielded the Supre Mark...
At this mont, Morpheus, burning his source without regard for the cost, had reached the
peak of his power.
With his injuries, his forced breakthrough, and his return after ascension...
Even if the Supre Demon God didn't act, Morpheus was dood to die today.
But Morpheus had no intention of letting the Supre Demon God off the hook.
The Supre Demon God had to pay the price.
If not, after Morpheus's death, no one would be able to stop him.
Atop the mountain, the man raised his blade once more, gazing at the heavens.
He was smiling.
Even when pushed to such extres, he still smiled.
Blood surged up his throat, a crimson line trailing from the corner of his mouth.
A faint black light emanated from his body.
Morpheus and his shadow spoke in unison.
Their voices echoed across the Supre Abyssal, resonating with the heavens.
As they spoke, the man drew his sword and unleashed everything he had in one final strike.
A blinding light consud Mike's vision, leaving him in darkness.
In the void, Mike trembled uncontrollably, his body shaking as the man's roar echoed in his
ears:
"Even if I die today... I will remain your eternal nightmare!"
...
The roar lingered in Mike's ears, refusing to fade.
He didn't know how much ti had passed before a faint light began to pierce the darkness.
Gradually, his vision returned, and he could make out his surroundings.
Even now, he couldn't shake the impact of the battle he had just witnessed.
"Phew-"
Exhaling deeply, Mike's vision fully cleared.
The majestic white horse was gone, and he was no longer in the Supre Abyssal.
He had returned to the Void Maelstrom.
Apollo still stood before him. Taking a deep breath, Mike tried to organize his thoughts.
In the final monts of the battle, Morpheus's words clearly carried another layer of
aning.
He had used [Dream Co True].
With the last activation of Dream Co True, a fragnt of Morpheus's soul had lingered,
wandering Earth like a ghost.
This explained the claim that Morpheus could not enter the abyss.
The remnants of his power were finite, dwindling with each use.
If he entered the abyss again, he might not last through the battle and would completely
dissipate.
For this reason, humanity would never willingly send Morpheus into battle.
Only Shadow Nine could persuade Morpheus, in his weakened state, to help trap Apollo.
Looking back, it wasn't necessarily Morpheus who had trapped Apollo.
Perhaps Apollo had chosen not to leave, unwilling to worsen Morpheus's already dire
condition.
If Apollo had forced his way out of the tower, neither the Tower Spirit nor Morpheus's
fragnted soul could have stopped him.
"Was this part of Shadow Nine's plan too...?"
Mike glanced into the distance, catching a glimpse of Maxen's cheerful figure.
Sotis, a little deception wasn't so bad.
Turning back to Apollo, Mike asked, "And your instructor?"
Apollo thought for a mont before explaining, "After Nathan acquired the talent [Dream
Co True], he used the Supre Mark to bring his shadow to life."
Mike: ???
Seeing Mike's shock, Apollo added, "Nathan said he was lonely as a child. His shadow was his
only companion."
Mike was stunned.
He never imagined that Shadow Nine's existence had originated from sothing so simple.
With the relationship between Shadow Nine, Nathan, and Morpheus clarified, most of Mike's questions were answered.
Apollo left him with one final sentence before transforming into a cloud and departing. "When you return, et on the 99th floor."
In fact, Apollo had said sothing similar before Mike set out.
At the ti, Apollo had told Mike that once he returned from the Void Maelstrom, he would
reveal the truth.
Mike hadn't expected to stumble upon the truth himself by uncovering Nathan's seal.
After Apollo left, Mike looked around.
The area was empty. [Current Survival Rate: You will definitely make it back alive. No one in the Maelstrom dares
to trouble you.]
Seeing the Eye of Truth's ssage, Mike couldn't help but laugh.
Apollo had shown up and told the Supre Demon God to leave.
And the Supre Demon God had actually left.
Mike was speechless.
He hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
With the situation resolved, Mike quickly adjusted his mindset and found a safe spot to begin
rging the Source of Calamity with the Greed Source.
Mike had intended for the Greed Source to devour the Source of Calamity.
But to his surprise, the two sources didn't fight.
Instead, they... got married. Thus, the Greed Source of Calamity was born!
Regardless, this was good news for Mike. With this new essence, his strength had grown once again!
Even against top-tier powerhouses like Maxen or Cedric, Mike could now defeat them.
And he wasn't even level 900 yet!
After securing the Greed Source of Calamity, Mike realized that an entire week had passed.
He took a quick tour of the Void Maelstrom, confirming that everyone who had co with him was still alive.
Seeing that everyone had survived, Mike felt relieved.
This trip hadn't been in vain!
With his objectives accomplished, Mike wasted no ti and set off for Earth.
Upon returning from the Void Maelstrom, Mike headed straight for the Tower of Truth.
As he landed, a white cloud appeared before him.
Reaching the 99th floor, Mike pulled out the doorbell he had prepared and pressed it.
Ding-dong-
After knocking three tis, the door opened.
Unlike last ti, the 99th floor now had a table surrounded by chairs.
Mike placed his gift on the table and was about to say sothing when-
"Wait."
Apollo raised a hand, stopping him.
Mike was about to ask what he was waiting for when the Thunderclap Hamr at his waist let
out a crisp sound.
A swordsman's avatar appeared to Mike's left.
Mike: ???
Before he could react, his eyelids grew heavy, and he felt an overwhelming urge to sleep.
This sensation... it wasn't the first ti.
To his right, a phantom of a middle-aged man appeared.
Apollo casually said, "Wake."
But to his surprise, Mike still fell asleep.
Just as Apollo was about to say sothing else, the swordsman placed a blade against Mike's
neck and gently said, "Wake up. Don't sleep."
