Chapter 91: For breakfast, it's better to eat something light

Suddenly, Mike remembered something.

"Do you have two people as godfathers at the same time? Did they not mind?" he asked.

Maxen Stoneheart glanced sideways at Mike with a disdainful snort, "How could they mind? Don't underestimate me!"

Mike responded, "When it comes to being a son, you're definitely better at it."

Maxen Stoneheart lowered his voice, "People only know about Morpheus taking me as his godson. Later, Ares—my second godfather—approached me privately. He said my swordsmanship was very talented and insisted on taking me as his godson. Who do you think I, Maxen Stoneheart, am? Could I just accept that? Of course not!"

Maxen Stoneheart sighed, a look of helplessness on his face, "But what could I do when my first godfather agreed on my behalf and even accepted a fine sword from him? That settled it."

Maxen Stoneheart downed a bottle of beer and cautioned Mike, "You better not spread this around. Apart from the Ares and Morpheus, you're the only one I've told."

Mike slowly nodded in understanding.

So, Maxen Stoneheart, as a godson, serves as a bridge between Morpheus and Ares.

For the sake of the human race and the Supreme Being, Maxen endured the humiliation and accepted two godfathers, pioneering a new shared economy—a shared godson.

If he were a Pokémon OCD participant, Maxen could strive to have Apollo also recognize him as a godson. That would achieve the 'Godfather Collector' milestone.

Thinking about it, having three Supreme Beings as godfathers means even if Maxen were to defecate in front of demon gods, none would dare lay a hand on him.

"Stone, let me teach you a phrase that sounds particularly domineering on the battlefield," Mike said, taking a deep breath and speaking in a deep tone, "I am the son of all Supreme Beings!"

Maxen's eyes lit up. "That's a great line! Very domineering! Alright, I'll remember that. Next time I slay a demon race Battle Lord, I'll definitely shout it out."

"Not bad, really good!" Maxen was very pleased, not even minding that Mike called him 'Stone.'

Meanwhile, Mike was pondering something else. "If Maxen Stoneheart really becomes the godson of three Supreme Beings, when I become a Supreme Being in the future, wouldn't I have to be his father too?"

Looking at Maxen again, Mike's gaze was somewhat peculiar.

Better not. Let the three Supreme Beings enjoy having Maxen Stoneheart as a godson. Mike had no such plans.

The two chatted idly as time passed, and it was six o'clock.

Mike dropped off food at the Mysterious Mine workers' group on his way before returning to Earth.

In his room, a shadow was waiting for him.

"Shadow Nine, all done?" Mike asked.

No response, which was normal for Shadow Nine. Shadow Nine rarely spoke, and when he did, it was significant.

As Mike opened the dorm door, he saw Anderson, a senior, passing by with a cow over his shoulder, the cow still chewing on fresh grass, clearly unaware of the gravity of the situation.

"Thump, thump, thump—"

Anderson knocked on Cain's dorm door, entering with the cow.

"Morning, senior..."

Cain also didn't grasp the gravity of the situation at first.

"Morning, have something to eat before warming up," Anderson said, his understanding of food transcending eras, "The fresher the ingredients, the better. This breed is specially raised by superpower universities in Washington D.C., the more you eat, the more your attributes increase."

Sharpening his knife, Anderson gestured and asked, "Do you want to eat the shoulder or the spine first?"

Cain stood there dumbfounded, muttering, "Holy Fuck... are you serious?"

Professor Gregory Blackwell had studied the newbie instance for who knows how many years, and he was extremely familiar with every stone inside!

"So, what about it?" the assistant was even more puzzled. Even if it was a stone from the newbie instance, it was still just a stone.

"Look closely at the front end of the stone, there are wear marks, It seems that something was drawn on the stone wall using this stone..." Professor Gregory Blackwell took out a tablet, logged into the Mystic Market auction site, and looked up this million-priced stone.

"Consignment time..." Professor Gregory Blackwell glanced at it, his face suddenly changing, then quickly returning to normal.

He casually remarked, "It must be a prank, thinking of selling such a thing for a million gold coins is too fanciful."

Professor Gregory Blackwell feigned calmness, seriously saying, "Delete it from the courseware, don't waste everyone's time."

"Alright, Professor Gregory," the assistant replied.

The assistant wanted to say something else but was dismissed by Gregory Blackwell.

"You go to the classroom to take attendance, I'll check the courseware and then come over."

After the assistant left, Gregory Blackwell could no longer control his body's trembling, collapsing back into his chair, his heart pounding.

"The newbie instance's stone, inexplicably worn..."

"An SSS-grade rating clears the newbie instance and is rewarded with a Trade Secret Realm pass..."

"The consignment time, just after Thor cleared the newbie instance..."

All the clues laid out before Professor Gregory Blackwell led him to only one conclusion: "The stone was consigned by Thor, and it's also a key item for unlocking the newbie instance's hidden level."

Realizing this, Professor Gregory Blackwell nearly had a heart attack!

This involved the human race's potential Supreme Being, Thor—Professor Gregory couldn't be careless!

He took several deep breaths, picked up the phone on the desk, and dialed a number, "Connect me to Maxen Stoneheart."

On the other end of the phone, Maxen Stoneheart's voice came through, "Professor Gregory, hello, I'm about to head to the Abyssal Plane, make it quick."

"Alright, listen," Professor Gregory Blackwell was extremely serious, "Take down the Mystic Market auction listing [identifierdolwm3146] items."

"Already taken down."

"Delete all purchase records of the consignor."

"No purchase records found."

"Change the Mystic Market salesperson interfacing with this person, set this person's confidentiality level to SSS."

"Modification in progress... I don't have the authority to operate!"

"Damn it, Professor Gregory, who did you find?" Maxen Stoneheart realized something was amiss.

"Don't worry about it."

Professor Gregory Blackwell reviewed everything in his mind, making sure he hadn't missed any details, and slowly made his final request.

"Have Shadow Nine come over and seal my memory of this morning, quickly."

Maxen Stoneheart: ...

If things had come to this point and Maxen Stoneheart still hadn't understood, he wouldn't deserve to have two Supreme Beings as godfathers.

Professor Gregory had discovered Thor's other identity in the Trade Secret Realm!
