Just call me Thor

Chapter 601: He doesn’t deserve to die



"Bro, where are we going?"

Mike followed behind Apollo, unsure where this "wandering" would take them.

Behind him, the white dog was as lively as ever, already chasing after the butterfly.

As fragments of the Truth Source, the butterfly and the white dog shared a natural affinity.

The white dog barked excitedly, "Hey, butterfly! Remember me? I'm one of the Truth Source fragments you beat up back in the day!"

Mike: ...

This Eye of Truth was really asking for a beating.

The butterfly's response was simple.

Though it didn't speak, Mike could clearly understand its intent:

[Don't remember.]

The white dog: ...

While the white dog and the butterfly played, Apollo spoke calmly,

"Looking for my nephew."

Nephew?

Mike immediately realized Apollo was referring to Shadow Two.

[Apollo's going to treat Shadow Two's illness?]

Mike stared at the prompt in front of him, momentarily stunned.

What would happen if Shadow Two's illness was treated? Would Shadow Two die?

Shadow Two's condition... wasn't exactly mild.

From an emotional standpoint, Mike definitely didn't want Shadow Two to die.

Sure, Shadow Two was crazy, but when it mattered, he always stepped up.

Though he acted erratically most of the time, Shadow Two had never failed when it came to truly important matters.

When Morpheus told them not to kill indiscriminately, Shadow Two never took an innocent life.

When Shadow Nine taught them how to kill demons and uphold justice, Shadow Two found his own way to punish evil and promote good.

When Thor taught them how to be human, Shadow Two followed Thor's principles... Well, mostly.

There were a few minor issues with that last one, but nothing major.

Back when Poseidon was killed, it was Shadow Two who led the charge.

When Apollo first left the Tower of Truth, it was Shadow Two who played a crucial role at a critical moment.

And most importantly, Shadow Two... wasn't great with money.

He probably owed Thor more than he could ever repay.

As Mike followed Apollo, he tried to persuade him in a low voice,

"Third Bro, maybe we shouldn't treat him. Shadow Two's been like this for so many years- he's used to it. Why not just let him stay this way?"

Apollo shook his head and replied firmly,

"It must be treated."

Mike knew they were doomed.

Apollo rarely made up his mind about anything.

But once he did, there were even fewer people who could change it.

Apollo's movements were subtle, and few could sense his presence as he traveled.

One of the few exceptions was a Stunning Woman.

Before Apollo and Mike could even reach Florida, they were intercepted by Shadow One.

"Supreme Being Apollo, please stop."

As Shadow One spoke, her hands trembled, and the shadows on her body shifted wildly in color.

Just standing there and speaking to Apollo had drained all her courage.

After all, this wasn't some avatar-it was the real deal.

The Supreme Being Apollo, with nine awakenings of his talent, in peak condition!

Even the Supreme Demon God would retreat in his presence!

When Shadow One asked Apollo to stop, he did.

He turned to her, waiting silently for her to speak.

Shadow One, summoning all her courage, said,Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Shadow Two may not be in his right mind, and yes, he's from the demon race, but... he doesn't deserve to die."

She knew how Shadow Two's illness could be treated.

Morpheus had mentioned it once: kill one, and the other would naturally recover.

But that method was far too cruel. Morpheus could never bring himself to do it, so the matter

of treating Shadow Two had been shelved indefinitely.

Shadow One knew Apollo was here to treat Shadow Two and understood exactly how he planned to do it.

So, even though she knew it was futile, she still had to try to stop him.

Apollo remained silent in the face of her words.

Shadow One forced a bitter smile and added,

"I may not be as strong as you, but as Shadow One, I still have my responsibilities."

In the Guardian Shadow, aside from Shadow Nine, the two strongest members were Shadow One and Shadow Three.

If the two were to fight to the death, Shadow Three would win in the Abyss, while Shadow One

would win in the Tower of Truth.

The outcome depended on the battlefield.

Elsewhere, their strength was evenly matched.

Such powerhouses, even among the myriad races, had a chance to challenge for the rank of

Supreme Being.

"Alright, enough with the sob story."

Apollo didn't respond, but Mike stepped forward.

Just by standing there, he made Shadow One feel a sense of danger!

This was a feeling she had never experienced from Thor before!

Shadow One was taken aback.

Thor had grown this strong?

"When Shadow Nine left, he entrusted the Guardian Shadow to me."

Mike spoke lazily, his tone casual.

"If there's trouble in the Guardian Shadow, it's my job to handle it. Not yours."

Shadow One's gaze shifted between Apollo and Thor.

In the end, she stepped back, making way.

As Mike had said, if the sky fell, it was Thor's job to hold it up-not hers.

Besides, while Shadow Two's intelligence might be that of an eight-year-old, his actual age

was much older.

Morpheus had rescued Shadow Two from the Abyss during his first expedition there.

Shadow Two often joked that he was "half a godson" to Morpheus.

Apollo continued forward, with Mike following behind, along with a dog and a butterfly.

After some hesitation, Shadow One decided to tag along.

She was curious about what Thor had gone through recently.

It was as if he had ascended, growing to a level that even Shadow One had to look up to!

Was this the true strength of humanity's potential Supreme Being?

Thor suddenly turned back and looked at Shadow One.

"What are you supposed to be doing right now?"

Shadow One froze, then stammered,

"I... I'm on vacation today?" "Working on your day off? Violating Guardian Shadow regulations. You're fined one day's

pay."

Shadow One: ...

The group entered Florida and quickly found Shadow Two, who was eating at a restaurant.

He was dressed in strange clothes, sitting at a table, devouring his food while bawling his

eyes out. The waitstaff nearby were utterly bewildered.

"That's right, my father's dead too! And he died horribly..."

Joseph, sitting beside Shadow Two, didn't know what to say.

Shadow Two's true identity was no longer a secret.

He was the son of the Fifth Demon God.

Watching Shadow Two's antics, it was hard to guess how the Fifth Demon God would feel-

proud or heartbroken.

As Shadow Two gnawed on a chicken leg, he suddenly stood up, grinning from ear to ear.

"Third Aunt, you're here!"

Apollo nodded but said nothing.

When Shadow Two spotted Thor, he rushed over and hugged him tightly.

"Fourth Bro, I missed you so much! I swear, I even saw your ghost recently-it scared me to

death!"

Mike: ...

Before Mike could ask, Joseph explained,

"After we split up, Shadow Two said he was hungry. He spent all the money we had but still

wasn't full. He even ate the frying pan we used for making fries..."

After hearing the whole story, Mike's face was dark with frustration. Seriously, how did Shadow Two end up like this?!

With Apollo's arrival, Shadow Two suddenly felt full.

He downed a large gulp of soda, patted his stomach, and got up to leave with his third aunt.

As they left the restaurant, Shadow Two grew nervous and asked cautiously,

"Third Aunt, did you save up enough money?"

Apollo shook his head. "No."

"Then let's keep saving!" Shadow Two was surprisingly optimistic. As long as they didn't treat his illness, he was fine

with anything.

"No need to save."

Apollo stopped, turned, and pointed at Mike.

"He has money."

Then he pointed at Shadow Two.

"And you're sick." Thor would pay, Apollo would do the work, and Shadow Two would get treated.

It sounded perfect.

Shadow Two immediately threw himself at Thor's legs, wailing, "Fourth Bro, can we not spend the money? Please, I'm begging you!"

Shadow Two's frantic cries echoed across the skies of Florida.

"Fourth Bro, I'm begging you! Don't spend the money! Please!"
