Chapter 488: So, this is your fucking superpower, huh?



"Just kidding." Ares looked at Thor, dropping the sword talk. "Don't come looking for me in the First Abyss for a while."

Mike nodded, indicating he understood.

"I'll call you when the time is right," Ares added. "But you're welcome to visit the Eighth Abyss. My son will accompany you."

When Ares said "my son," Mike didn't immediately register who he meant. It took a beat before it clicked.

*Maxen!*

Ares seemed about to say more, but the butterfly suddenly spoke in a human voice, "The Supreme Demon God is awakening."

According to what Apollo had told Mike, Supreme Beings were incredibly attractive to the Supreme Demon God!

This place currently held three generations of human Supreme Beings/seeds. Faced with such a delicacy, how could the Supreme Demon God resist? Ares staying here any longer could trigger a disaster!

"Apollo, what are you waiting for?" Ares urged. "Open the door! Let me go greet him!"

Apollo looked at Ares silently, saying nothing.

The portal opened once more. This time, however, it wasn't to visit the Supreme Demon God, but to send Ares back to the Abyss.

"Oh, by the way, I came up with a new skill on the way here," Ares mentioned casually as he was leaving. Learning new skills was as easy as drinking water for him.

"Yeah, yeah," Mike waved him off dismissively. "You said you were joking, but I'm guessing this skill probably already took effect through your sword without me even noticing."

"Smart." Ares' figure vanished into the portal, leaving a single phrase echoing in the air. "It's called... Broke."

*Broke?!*

Hearing the name, Mike frowned, sensing trouble. If Ares had mentioned the skill's name earlier, Mike would never have allowed it!

Mike took several deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.

He was a potential Supreme Being; he wouldn't be afraid of any difficulty! Since it had already happened, all Mike could do was check the effects.

[You have received a debuff. View details?]

[Viewing this message has a 0.0026% chance of causing sudden death from a heart attack, stroke, or other similar conditions.]

Mike clicked "view."

"Um, about the gold coins... could you just put them directly into my inventory or private

space without me touching them?"

"Only you can take this money. You have to pick it up yourself. No one else can touch it." The Tower Spirit had to operate within the rules of Truth.

Mike's attempt to have Vladimir take the money for him failed.

10 billion Gold Coins were right in front of him, but he couldn't take them. He was so frustrated! He proposed a bold idea. "Can you convert them all into copper coins for me?"

"Where am I supposed to get that many copper coins?!" The Tower Spirit thought Thor was acting very strangely today! Like a completely different person.

"Then put it on my tab!" In the end, Mike had to resort to his "put it on my tab" strategy, promising not to charge a single penny of interest!

"Why are you acting so weird today?" Tower Spirit muttered before leaving the 33rd floor.

Mike was also in despair... He had decided: for the next week, his hands wouldn't touch a

single gold coin!

"Let's settle up." Mike placed his hand on the Truth Core Crystal. As the global announcement

rang out, he returned to his private space.

...

Back in his private space, Mike's spirits revived.

"Fool, get over here!" Mike called out, finding Master Fool.

"Got any Truth Gold Coins? I'll show you a superpower."

"Trying to scam me again?" Master Fool looked at Mike warily, her eyes scanning his face.

"Ares taught me a trick. Now I have superpowers!" Mike declared proudly. "Want to see?"

"Sure." Master Fool pulled out half a gold coin. "Here, show me your superpower." She wanted to see what tricks Thor could pull off.

Mike snapped his fingers, and Vladimir stepped forward, taking the half gold coin.

Mike smirked, saying triumphantly, "See? I just scammed Fool out of half a gold coin."

Fool: ???

So, this is your fucking superpower, huh?!
