Chapter 281: The second awakening of the Eye of Truth



Contrary to Mike's expectations, Cerberus (Adult Edition) had been able to manipulate the Sea of Truth from the start!

Its Sea of Truth was the very River Styx beneath its feet, its greatest reliance!

In the previous battles, Cerberus had been toying with Mike.

It wanted to see the look of despair on its prey's face when faced with its strongest form!

What a delightful scene that would be, accompanied by soul-piercing wails...

Cerberus's earlier performance was all for this final moment.

Entering its third form, it transformed into a hellhound, with its attributes doubling once more. Without the interference of the other two heads and with the power to control the River Styx... at this moment, its combat power was comparable to a three-tier Lord.

This battle seemed over before it even began!

The wind of victory seemed to blow from behind the hellhound!

Just as the hellhound smiled,

Mike smiled too.

The Eye of Truth had long since provided Mike with relevant information about the River Styx's peculiarities and Cerberus's hellhound form.

Mike pretended to be clueless, but he wasn't worried at all; he even found it amusing.

Because Mike had a way to counter it!

"Mirror Shadow!"

"Wind Fury!"

"All Things Grow!"

Wind Fury could be cast three times in succession, enhancing Mike's All Things Grow.

Spring, summer, autumn, winter, the cycle of seasons.

Chaotic Lightning!

Above the River Styx, a thundercloud gathered, its presence terrifying and awe-inspiring. "Boom-"

When the first bolt of Chaotic Lightning struck, the hellhound's eyes were full of disdain, even letting out a snort.

It had the River Styx as protection, and most importantly, it was immune to lightning, so what was there to fear?!

Boom-

The Chaotic Lightning struck the hellhound, instantly numbing its skull and making its whole body tremble.

"Woof woof-"

It never expected to take true damage!

After one bolt of Chaotic Lightning, there were still eight more waiting for it!

Up to this point in the battle, Mike hadn't even used a tenth of his true power!

Each bolt of Chaotic Lightning was more powerful than the last, electrocuting the hellhound until it was completely paralyzed, unable to fight back.

After six bolts of Chaotic Lightning, the strongest form of the boss hadn't inflicted any damage and fell helplessly at Mike's feet.

Has it begun?

No, it's already over!

As the hellhound fell, Mike didn't let his guard down, quickly scanning the River Styx.

"Found it!"

Within the River Styx, a Truth Pearl was spinning, containing terrifying power, attempting to revive Cerberus.

"Star Pluck!"

"Wind's Reach!"

"Void Tremor!"

In 0.5 seconds, Mike used several moves in succession. Combined with the three remaining bolts of Chaotic Lightning, the Truth Pearl couldn't withstand the terrifying output and cracked with a crisp sound.

Mike reached out and collected all the fragments.

If it were before, Mike would have given it 69 thumbs up.

The problem was, the Fourth Demon God had already turned into a turtle.

The threat to Mike was naturally zero.

Other demon gods, if they found Mike's true body, wouldn't use gaze-based skills.

Mike muttered, "I wonder if it can resist the gaze of the Supreme Demon God."

[It can!]

This answer gave Mike a lot of confidence. As expected of an SSS-grade talent, its power was undeniable. When it reached the ninth awakening, it would become as overpowered as Ares

and Apollo.

The third enhancement developed new modes-Overload Mode and Replication Mode.

This was likely the most significant boost to Mike's strength from the second awakening!

Previously, when facing entities above Ultimate Lord, the Eye of Truth was practically

useless.

Now, at level 300, Mike could decipher information about such entities, which was no small feat. The only downside was the long cooldown of 24 hours!

"Deciphering one of Shadow Nine's little secrets every 24 hours?"

That sounded pretty good!

Along with Overload Mode, Replication Mode was also unlocked.

Mike had an item called [Forbidden Spell Scroll], which could imprint and release

corresponding forbidden spells.

[Replication Mode] was like a cost-free [Forbidden Spell Scroll], whether it was Mike himself,

his teammates, or his enemies.

As long as the Eye of Truth 'saw' it, Mike could replicate it!

At the same time, [Replication Mode] could only store one skill.

It had to be used up before it could replicate another.

The fourth ability was a one-time use.

Choosing one floor between 1 and 95 of the Tower of Truth to decipher.

What was there to hesitate about?

"95!"

Mike directly chose the 95th floor!

Finding out where Calderon's true body was hiding and what he was planning was crucial for

Mike.

Shadow Nine intended to exploit Calderon's schemes, and Mike was already a few steps

behind.

Although Mike didn't know what Shadow Nine was planning,

Professor Gregory's reminder and Apollo's response had informed Mike that Shadow Nine

was determined to obtain the [Supreme Mark]!

If Shadow Nine's plan succeeded, there would be only one outcome: The [Supreme Mark]

would fall into Shadow Nine's hands!

According to Professor Gregory's speculation and Apollo's answer,

Once Shadow Nine obtained the [Supreme Mark], he would die!

Clearly, this wasn't an outcome Mike could accept.

In this game within a game, Mike couldn't simply be an outsider.

He had to find a way to break the game. The secret was hidden on the 95th floor of the Tower of Truth!
