Chapter 240: Calderon's escape plan



When Mike saw Shadow Nine, he always felt that Shadow Nine seemed a bit distracted.

Shadow Nine got straight to the point, "Kid, didn't you have something to ask Apollo? Let's go, I'll take you."

Mike: ???

Was Shadow Nine in cahoots with Apollo, planning to deceive him?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

There had to be something more behind Shadow Nine's actions!

"Can we go a bit later?" Mike said seriously, "I haven't showered in hours. It's not polite to meet the Supreme Being of humanity like this, right?"

A blade light flashed, narrowly missing Mike.

"Are you clean now?"

Mike: "I can't wait to meet Apollo! Shadow Nine, take me there now!"

Shadow Nine snorted coldly and said no more.

Mike didn't know why Shadow Nine was acting this way, but he suspected something had happened.

Back on Earth, a white cloud was already waiting for Mike.

The cloud lifted Mike, flying him up to the ninety-ninth floor of the Tower of Truth.

Inside was the Tower of Truth Otaku, Supreme Being Apollo.

Outside was the potential Supreme Being, Thor.

And a shadow was left behind, not following the cloud.

From the portal, Cedric Blackwell emerged, his expression slightly tense.

"Shadow Nine, you mentioned something happened to Calderon. What did you mean?"

Calderon, inside the black coffin, had the genuine combat power of an Ultimate Lord, even among the top tier of Ultimate Lords.

Mainly because humanity didn't have many Ultimate Lords, any one of them was considered top-tier.

As per Morpheus's instructions, the black coffin was placed in the Forest of Truth.

With Morpheus in the Forest of Truth and Apollo in the Tower of Truth, what could possibly go wrong with a mere Ultimate Lord?

Did Calderon break through to level 1000, leave Earth, and disappear?

Shadow Nine's hoarse voice said, "Follow me."

Without further words, the two headed straight to the depths of the Forest of Truth.

In front of the Monument of Faith, the black coffin was upright again, with the coffin lid placed beside it.

On the coffin lid lay two 'corpses.'

One was a bloody mess, unrecognizable, not even human-shaped.

The other was extremely old, somewhat familiar, looking like the long-lost Calderon, but with a horrific blade wound on his chest.

Cedric Blackwell was a bit surprised, pointing at the old corpse, and asked, "What's going on here?"

Shadow Nine coldly replied, "That's the 320-year-old Calderon. After discovering his anomaly, I took the time to slash him to death."

Cedric Blackwell pointed at the other corpse, "And this one?"

"The 17-year-old Calderon."

Shadow Nine's tone was unfriendly, "He ran amok on the Abyss battlefield and was brought back by Shadow One."

Cedric Blackwell's expression grew more serious, and he asked again, "What's really going on?"

"It starts with Calderon's talent..."

If he didn't ask, Apollo wouldn't tell.

Clearly, after Thor's emergence, Shadow Nine focused most of his attention on nurturing the

potential Supreme Being and obtaining the [Supreme Mark].

He never expected an old madman lying in a coffin for years to cause such a big mess!

In fact, more than half of what Shadow Nine had just explained was told to him by Apollo.

After discovering Calderon had escaped the coffin, with Apollo's help, Shadow Nine quickly figured out the situation and retrieved two Calderons.

Cedric Blackwell was silent for a moment, then asked again, "You said Calderon split into nine. There are two here; where are the remaining seven?"

No matter what Calderon was plotting, finding all nine Calderons was the top priority.

Shadow Nine pointed to the outskirts of the forest,

"Four are in various locations in the Forest of Truth, all with strength above nine-tier Lords.

These four won't run; the Guardian Shadow can handle them."

"Alright."

Cedric Blackwell nodded, "The real trouble is the three missing Calderons."

As they spoke, the portal outside the Forest of Truth opened again, and a powerful figure

stepped out.

Both men instantly sensed something unusual.

"Calderon's aura?!"

Shadow Nine and Cedric Blackwell's figures disappeared from their spots, appearing beside

the portal.

"Why is it you?!"

Shadow Nine frowned, momentarily unable to make sense of the situation.

Maxen, carrying Dorakos, looked curiously at the two who had come to greet him.

"Mr. Shadow Nine, Cedric Blackwell, what a coincidence?"

Maxen casually tossed the figure on his shoulder to the ground, not seeking any credit, and

boasted,

"Shadow Nine, on my way back, I encountered someone impersonating Calderon! Calderon was very good to me; he even named me! This guy dared to impersonate Calderon in

front of me. How could I tolerate that? I killed him with three punches!"

After speaking, Maxen gave himself a thumbs-up and grinned,

"I am so strong!"

Shadow Nine and Cedric Blackwell exchanged glances, understanding each other's thoughts.

Nine Calderons had escaped, four stayed in the Forest of Truth, and three had already been

found.

If this was Calderon's meticulously planned escape, then in his half-mad, half-sane state, his intelligence had significantly declined.

The escape plan was more than half over before it even began.

Both men had the same thought: two more to go!

Find the remaining two Calderons, kill them... no, they meant bring Calderon back intact and

help complete his plan!

Shadow Nine and Cedric Blackwell both smirked.

They suddenly felt that Calderon's escape plan might not be such a bad thing after all.
