Just call me Thor

[Star Pluck]

Just the name of this skill sounded incredibly powerful!

Mike looked at the skill book's description,

[Star Pluck]: Move like a phantom, charging at a target within (1000 + 5 * level) yards at extreme speed, striking once to deal (5000 + 3 * physical attack) damage.

Stay by the target for 0.5 seconds, during which you can cast spells/attack. After 0.5 seconds, forcibly return to the original position.

You can end [Star Pluck] early to return to the original position.

[Star Pluck] deals 300% true damage to illusion-type entities.

If [Star Pluck] kills the target (including illusion-type), the cooldown is reset.

Cost: None

CD: 120s (not affected by any cooldown reduction)

"Wow, that's so cool—"

Mike took a deep breath, marveling at Ares's terrifying power.

This skill was indeed strong and quite unique!

The casting was divided into two stages:

The first stage involved charging at the target and attacking, with a 0.5-second pause.

At Mike's current level, he could attack targets within a 2000-yard range, dealing tens of thousands of damage.

If the target was an illusion, it would take nearly 100,000 true damage.

The second stage involved ending the pause and returning to the original position, with a kill check.

If the target was killed, [Star Pluck] could be used again.

If not, it would enter a 2-minute cooldown!

The core of the skill wasn't the 300% true damage bonus but the kill check!

Resetting the cooldown meant that with powerful output methods, [Star Pluck] could be used infinitely!

This was perfect; no one was better at output than Thor!

0.5 seconds?

Not needed at all!

Mike could stack 30 layers of Charge Up, then apply a Blessing of Lightning, and follow up with Star Pluck and Thunderclap Strike.

He would be incredibly agile on the battlefield, killing enemies while being hard to hit.

"2000-yard movement, killing the target and ending Star Pluck early to return to the original position means a 4000-yard movement distance!"

The more Mike thought about it, the more excited he became, realizing this skill seemed tailor-made for him!

Star Pluck and Wind's Reach were a perfect match!

Star Pluck could decapitate and stack movement distance.

Stacking movement distance would make Wind's Reach's burst damage incredibly high!

Imagine in a group fight, Mike stacking Star Pluck's distance for 10 seconds.

Then, using [Star Pluck] again, teleporting to an enemy 2000 yards away, following up with [Wind's Reach] for massive damage and long-distance movement, then ending [Star Pluck] to return to the original position!

This was simply too cool!

The key point was using [Star Pluck]'s forced return mechanism to double the movement distance created by [Wind's Reach]!

The next [Wind's Reach] would deal terrifying damage!

Mike was excited but also puzzled.

[Star Pluck] was undoubtedly suitable for Mike.

But what about Ares?

Purely from the stats, this move at level 200 wasn't that strong!

Mike had this question for a long time.

When he first got the [Void Tremor] skill book, Mike remembered clearly that Ares said this skill could kill a Chief.

Mike was sure that the damage from Void Tremor alone couldn't threaten a Chief!

"Whether it's [Void Tremor] or [Star Pluck], they clearly need to be paired with Ares's SSS-tier talent to unleash massive damage," Mike calmly analyzed.

If that were the case, it made much more sense.

Thinking of this, Mike looked at Professor Gregory.

The reason Professor Gregory was trapped here was because of his second awakening.

His second awakening condition was to live another 100 years.

And Ares could help Professor Gregory solve this problem.

"Could it be that Ares's talent is related to time?"

While pondering this, Mike looked up at the mist.

There were stars!

"[Star Pluck]'s learning condition: under the stars, swing your weapon at the sky!"

Only now could Mike learn [Star Pluck].

Mike looked at Shadow Ten and asked,

"I'm going to attack the sky next. It might cause a bit of a commotion. Is that okay?"

Shadow Ten frowned slightly, "You want me to cover the noise?"

"No, the bigger the commotion, the more it will attract Maxen and the others. I'm saying it might be a bit tough."

Mike calmly analyzed.

Since they had already found Professor Gregory, the next step should be to rendezvous with Maxen and the others and find a way to escape together.

Of course, if they could eliminate all the demon god seeds and purify the Suture Abyss along the way, that would be best.

All tasks had to be carried out while ensuring personal safety.

Amari looked at Shadow Eleven lying on the rock, assessing their condition.

"Give it another 5 minutes, at least until he's 60% recovered."

60%?

How was that enough!

Mike didn't understand Amari's meaning. Only 60% recovery meant being severely injured!

"Let's wait another 15 minutes. I have some items that can help Shadow Eleven recover quickly."

With that, Mike took out a bunch of prepared healing items and handed them to Shadow Eleven from Professor Gregory's shadow.

Shadow Eleven: "Thank you."

Mike waved his hand, "No need to thank me. Just transfer the money to my account later. Actually, never mind, I'll have Shadow Nine deduct it from your salary directly."

Shadow Eleven: "Fine."

With Mike's healing items, Shadow Eleven could recover to 95% in 15 minutes.

Though still slightly injured, it was the best they could do.

After waiting silently for fifteen minutes, Shadow Eleven returned to Professor Gregory's shadow, while Shadow Ten protected Mike.

Mike looked at the starry sky, holding the [Star Pluck] skill book in his left hand and the Thunderclap Hammer in his right.

He took a deep breath, lightning flashing around him. Thunder rumbled in the sky.

At that moment, the skill book turned into countless starlights, merging into Mike's body. Mike's speed reached its peak as he struck at the stars!

Boom—

Initially, it was just a spark of lightning, then a massive lightning pillar shot up, transforming into a roaring dragon soaring through the sky, finally... like the descent of a lightning god!!

At this moment, Shadow Ten was completely thrown out of Mike's shadow, staring ahead in a daze.

Though he had expected this move to be extraordinary,

He never imagined Thor could unleash such a stunning strike!

This strike wasn't just Mike's doing; the Thunderclap Hammer guided Mike, unleashing infinite lightning energy!

...

The rescue team for Professor Gregory was trekking through the abyss when someone noticed the anomaly as Mike used Star Pluck.

"Look, there's lightning energy!"

Seeing a spark of lightning, Joseph casually remarked.

"It's just a lightning bolt, what's the big deal?"

But soon, the lightning transformed into a roaring dragon, flying through the night sky. The night turned to day, and the abyssal mist was purified.

Kaelum craned his neck, watching the scene, and casually said, "It looks like Thunderclap Hammer's energy."

He had seen images of the Thunderclap Hammer before and wouldn't mistake it.

Maxen staring at the scene, dropping the Flail in his hand.

The flail hit the ground, creating a terrifying crack, and Anderson, caught off guard, fell into it.
