After a brief welcome ceremony, the angels began their relocation as per Thor’s request. In truth, there wasn’t much left to stay for.
The black mist’s invasion of the thirty-second floor and the subsequent sacrifice had drained the angel race’s resources. The sudden outbreak of war had left their homes in ruins. The remaining members were their last hope.
Ariel returned to the angels to organize the move.
A farsighted elder stepped forward, saying, “It’s alright, everyone, keep your spirits up. We still have a hidden fortune!”
He confidently declared, “Years ago, to prepare for crises, we wrapped a batch of supplies in parchment and hid them in the treasury’s sewers. It’s enough for us to make a comeback in the Core City of Truth!”
Hearing this, the angels’ morale soared! An angel immediately suggested, “No time to waste, let’s hurry back to the treasury!”
“Indeed!” A group of angels quickly flew back to the treasury.
When they arrived, staring at the bare mountainside, all the angels fell silent.
“Did we come to the wrong place?” Where was the treasury?! The large treasury the angel race had built here?! And the sewers, the parchment… Their home was gone!
Ariel chuckled bitterly, shaking her head. The angel race was completely bankrupt now!
“Sigh.” Ariel sighed, shaking her head helplessly. Who could they blame?
“Forget it, let’s go to the Core City of Truth.” Ariel looked at her bedraggled people. They were at rock bottom; any step was upward. Perhaps going to the Core City of Truth wasn’t a bad thing.
Just as Ariel thought this, she slipped, accidentally falling into an even lower pit.
“Quick, give me a hand, pull me up!”
“Who dug such a big hole here?!” “…”
…
On the thirty-second floor, after resolving the angel race’s troubles, Mike didn’t immediately settle the conquer. He summoned the Core Crystal of Truth, initiating a new round of fair negotiations.
“Thor, don’t push your luck!” The Tower Spirit threw Mike a yellow card warning right off the bat. He could make requests, but not excessively!
“Relax, I never push my luck.” Mike made a reasonable request, “Can you help me retrieve the Golden Dragon’s body?”
Mike’s attitude was sincere, speaking with heartfelt emotion, “The Golden Dragon has become a spirit, but his body remains! I can’t just watch my subordinate suffer; I want to bring his body back for a proper burial!”
Tower Spirit: “Ha, do you think I believe that?” You just want his body, a body made entirely of gold!
“Impossible, it’s in the dragon race’s forbidden land, and it’s a potential Supreme Being. Under the supervision of the rules of truth, I have no authority to interfere in this matter.” The Tower Spirit refused Mike’s request.
Mike had to settle for the next best thing, “What rewards can you offer?”
In this bargaining, he at least needed to know what the other party had, right? What if the Tower Spirit was broke?
“I can give a buff to all humans, like the one you received after your previous SSSS rating conquer.” After thinking for a moment, the Tower Spirit added, “I can also increase the angel race’s favorability towards humans, but the effect is limited; angels above the Chief tier can ignore this influence.”
As long as angels reach adulthood, they can possess Chief tier combat power. So this ability is only useful for deceiving some underage angel females into bed, nothing else!
Mike rolled his eyes; why was the Tower Spirit so weak?
Seeing Mike didn’t object, the Tower Spirit displayed the buff effect.
“[Angel’s Blessing]: When receiving fatal damage, block the damage and restore 50% health, limited to once.”
“This buff isn’t right! This buff isn’t mine!” Mike frowned, dissatisfied, “How is this worse than the SSSS rating reward from my previous challenge?” According to the previous pattern, the higher the floor, the richer the rewards should be. How could it go backward?
The Tower Spirit had its say too, “Previously, it was Apollo who gave you the reward, and I’m just a Tower Spirit. What can I do? My abilities are limited!”
Mike felt something was off, yet it seemed reasonable.
“Alright, but you have to do me a small favor.” Mike made another request. The Tower Spirit hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed.
“Alright, Apollo’s share is settled.” Mike nodded in satisfaction, asking, “What about my share?”
When it comes to settling accounts, Mike always keeps things clear. The buff for all humans, even if Apollo takes seventy percent, there’s still thirty percent to split with Master Fool. “According to the rules of truth, Gabriel can’t enter your private space; he must go with the angel race to the Core City of Truth.” The Tower Spirit explained to Mike, “Moreover, his strength is already infinitely close to level 990. Once he exceeds it, he must enter the Temple of Truth.”
Mike immediately understood the Tower Spirit’s implication, “Can you exploit a loophole to keep him from entering the Temple of Truth?”
“What loophole? I don’t understand!” The Tower Spirit stammered. This was just reasonable use of the rules!
In the end, they reached an agreement. Mike would take Gabriel, and the Tower Spirit would give Mike an item that would allow Gabriel to avoid entering the Temple of Truth for three
months.
After negotiating, Mike tentatively asked, “I have a friend who’s curious about the Temple of Truth. Can he take a look inside?”
Tower Spirit: ?!
The Core Crystal of Truth changed color, and the Tower Spirit fled!
Just within the Tower of Truth, Thor had already caused so much trouble. If he were allowed into the Temple of Truth, perhaps only the Creator would know what crazy things Thor might
do!
With everything settled, Mike had no reason to linger. He placed his hand on the Core Crystal
of Truth.
“Settle!”
Moments later, all humans within the Tower of Truth received a new global announcement: “Congratulations to participant Thor for successfully reclaiming the thirty-second floor of the Tower of Truth!”
“Congratulations to participant Thor for conquering the thirty-second floor with an SSSS rating!”
The announcement paused, and the previously calm voice, now slightly trembling, slowly said, “Thanks to potential Supreme Being Thor for providing the human race buff [Angel’s Blessing] within the Tower of Truth…”
…
In the Core City of Truth, a flash of lightning, and Mike appeared in a corner. After reclaiming the thirty-second floor, Gabriel was naturally placed in the private space.
Mike had a good impression of Gabriel. In terms of strength alone, Gabriel was among the top nine-star Lords, a practical fighter.
Gabriel’s strength was actually quite strong; with a bit more effort, he could reach the Ultimate Lord level, which was the support Mike needed most at this stage.
Reclaiming the thirty-second floor took Mike nearly three hours. After a brief discussion with
the Tower Spirit, Mike had a rough understanding of the situation on the thirty-third floor.
It was originally a large RPG map, requiring monster fighting and leveling up… Now, after being corrupted, the thirty-third floor had become a paradise for monsters, a hellish scene. To reclaim the thirty-third floor, only one thing was needed-slaughter. Kill all the corrupted monsters, purify them physically.
Mike calculated that with his strength, conquering in three hours would be no pressure! And the thirty-fourth floor was the change class realm, involving the next class change! Thinking of this, Mike couldn’t help but feel excited. He still had a feather in his backpack, a gift from Apollo, which could be used during the class change to add a Soul Element! Moreover, Mike had been stuck at level 499 for some time; only after the class change could The continue leveling up.
Mike’s next challenge plan was clear: Reclaim the thirty-third floor with the remaining time today. Successfully change class tomorrow and officially gain a Soul Element! “Let’s visit Wolf’s Den first.” Before the challenge, Mike had one more thing to do.
After changing several masks and hiding the Star Soldier badge, Mike walked into Wolf’s Den.
He first went to the bar, clearing his throat.
Nyx Valoria immediately approached, “Hello, what can I do for you?”
No matter how many masks he wore, Thor’s aura was always so outstanding. Mike pointed to
the sign on the wall, which listed the number of SSSS rating conquers for the day and the corresponding discount.
Originally, after a certain number of SSSS rating conquers, Wolf’s Den offered free meals! Mike had enjoyed this benefit more than once. However, recently, there had been a small
problem.
“I’m just a passing enthusiastic bystander.” Mike said earnestly, “You see, some floors have been taken by the Supreme Demon God’s subordinates. And I… I mean, the human race’s potential Supreme Being Thor is fighting bloodily in the Tower of Truth, and the difficulty has increased more than a little!”
Nyx Valoria struggled to maintain composure. “So… do you have any good suggestions?” “The reward conditions should be lowered a bit.” Mike emphasized, “Mainly, the conditions for free meals should be lowered a bit.”
Nyx Valoria:…
Since Thor said so, and the money wasn’t much, within the controllable range for Wolf’s
Den’s expenses, Nyx Valoria agreed. She erased the words on the small blackboard and
rewrote with chalk:
“Reclaim 2 floors in a day, free meals at Wolf’s Den, each person limited to 150,000 gold coins, Thor not subject to this limit.”
Mike enthusiastically suggested, “Don’t write the last few words!” How embarrassing!
Nyx Valoria: …
In the end, she erased the line as Thor requested.
With the free meal settled, Mike looked around but didn’t see Maxen.
After handling his business, Mike sighed, lamenting, “Sigh, I wonder where Ares went.”
…
Tower of Truth, 82nd floor, dragon race’s forbidden land.
The dragon race, as part of the Upper Three Races, easily possessed peak Chief or even Lord
combat power upon reaching adulthood.
Moreover, due to their many innate talents, the dragon race’s strength was overwhelmingly
superior at the same tier. fгeewebnovёl.com
Only dragons who reached nine-star Lord and completed trials were eligible to become
dragon elders and enter the dragon race’s forbidden land. Each dragon here was a significant figure in any race! Together, they could dominate the world, unrestrained! Within the Tower of Truth, they were a formidable organization. If the Supreme Being was the king and ruler of the Tower of Truth, then the dragon race was at least a prince. However, today, the atmosphere in the dragon race’s forbidden land was heavy. The most powerful dragon elder, in human form, stood at the entrance of the forbidden land. Upon closer inspection, one could see the elder’s fingers trembling slightly, the entire dragon
shrouded in fear.
The elders behind him were even more pitiful. These once lofty elders had all taken human
form, following the elder. Most were pale, sweating profusely, and some dragons couldn’t control their transformation, their tails swaying nervously.
In the next moment, a portal suddenly opened, and a figure flashed through. A swordsman
appeared before the dragons.
The elder respectfully saying, “I am Drakon, pleased to meet you, esteemed Supreme Being
Ares.”
In front of the dragon race’s forbidden land, a synchronized voice rang out, clearly well- rehearsed, very skilled. Even in such a tense situation, they didn’t make a mistake, shouting in
unison,
“Welcome esteemed Supreme Being Ares to visit the dragon race’s forbidden land!”
“Don’t be nervous.” The swordsman waved his hand, speaking calmly, “I’m not here to
exterminate the dragon race.”
The dragons hadn’t even breathed a sigh of relief when the swordsman casually said, “Exterminating the dragon race doesn’t require my intervention.” Dragon race powerhouses: …
Damn, how could he be so arrogant! Others might not know how strong Ares’ sword was, but
elder Drakon certainly did.
Before meeting Ares, Drakon was already the dragon race’s elder. Back then, he was still
arrogant. Now, standing at the forefront, elder Drakon, with just a few words from the other party, recalled the fear of being dominated by extinction.
The world knew the human race had three Supreme Beings: Morpheus, Ares, Apollo. Opinions
varied on which Supreme Being was the strongest, and no one could convince anyone else. Among the three, the dragon race feared only Ares.
The reason was simple. In the past two hundred years, the dragon race had faced three
extinction crises.
The first was because of Ares,
The second was because of Ares,
And the third was still Ares.
