Mike was staying behind to cover the retreat.
This was a request Shadow Nine couldn't refuse.
In his current state, Shadow Nine didn't have the strength to participate in this battle.
The Dream Come True talent he had painstakingly retrieved couldn't be wasted here—it was needed elsewhere.
He had spent years planning for this moment and couldn't afford to lose everything now.
Besides, Mike's strength had undoubtedly reached an extraordinary level.
Thor was leagues ahead of Shadow Nine.
"I'm leaving!"
With that, Shadow Nine leapt forward, grabbing hold of an iron chain.
Before he could even exert any strength, Shadow Three pulled him out of the Abyss.
But as Shadow Nine looked back, he noticed something strange.
The passage they had painstakingly opened was beginning to close.
What was going on?
Was Thor not coming out?!
