Just call me Thor

"Wishing you an early conquest of the Tower of Truth!"

Tower of Truth, Elevth Floor.

:30 AM.

A flash of light, and Mike appeared in a dse forest.

The momt he materialized, a fireball came hurtling towards him at breakneck speed, which he easily dodged.

As the fireball missed its mark, a prompt sounded in Mike's ear:

"Dodged a basic fireball spell, killed a lower-tier fire elemt, gained 500 experice!"

After the fireball, a barrage of various skill attacks followed, dazzling and reltless.

[Elevth Floor: You cannot damage monsters through attacks; you can only dodge their skill attacks.]

[Successfully dodging will cause monsters to take damage equivalt to their mana cost. They die wh their health bar is depleted, granting experice.]

[Complete the tire floor without taking damage to achieve a 0% Exploration Rate.]

In simple terms, this floor was all about free-running; you could only run, not fight. It was a high-tier version of the [Neural Response Test] from the Battle Soldier trials. No matter how strong your offsive capabilities were, they were useless on the Elevth Floor.

In fact, the Battle Soldier test projects were designed with the Tower of Truth's levels in mind, providing targeted training and hancemt.

To challge higher levels in the Tower of Truth, one needed a well-ed skill set. Excelling in just one area could leave you stuck on some seemingly trivial level, unable to progress. And once stuck, your level and class would be affected, limiting your combat power growth.

No room for one-trick ponies here.

Mike didn't have many movemt skills: Windstride Slash, Dance with Fire, Wind's Reach. For combat and running, he relied mainly on these three skills.

Fortunately, Mike's agility was high, with a significant boost from Nightmare's Breeze, making him far more agile than a typical level 60 character. Ev without using movemt skills, Mike could conquer the floor without taking damage.

"Rumble—"

After dodging several s of attacks, the g began to shake violtly. A massive ctipede emerged from the earth, crazily chasing Mike. Each of its legs released powerful magical skills as it moved.

In an instant, countless light orbs shot towards Mike, like a dazzling fireworks display.

[Boss: Skythousand, Lv., Currt Health: million, Estimated Death After 8,6,309 Spells]

It seemed like Mike needed to dodge over 8 million skills, which would take a considerable amount of time.

In reality, Skythousand had a thousand legs, and each step it took resulted in ,000 spells being cast. While it attacked frantically, its health would also deplete rapidly.

"Come on, chase me!"

Mike's figure turned into a streak of lightning, instantly widing the gap.

On the Elevth Floor, as long as Mike ran fast ough, the boss would chase faster, cast spells more frequtly, and die quicker.

The catch was, Mike couldn't get hit by the boss's attacks!

But really, what in this world could be faster than lightning? It was laughable; they couldn't ev touch him.

One man and one boss, one chasing and one running, it was almost harmonious. As Mike led the boss a half the map, a prompt appeared before him:

"Currt Exploration Rate 80%, would you like to settle the instance?"

The momt the prompt appeared, everything a him seemed to pause, waiting for Mike's decision. This wasn't a prompt from the [Eye of Truth]; it was built into the Tower of Truth itself!

Mike nodded slightly, thinking, "Pretty considerate."

With this, the 80% Exploration Rate would stack with the [Explorer] effect, directly boosting it to 90%.

This would upgrade his conquest rating from S to SS, elevating the rewards!

It also avoided the situation where an 80.% Exploration Rate would be less beficial than an 80% Exploration Rate.

Of course, Mike knew some giuses would aim for a 95% or ev 0% Exploration Rate! Historically, they were likely to fail, but it didn't stop them from trying.

"No!"

Mike rejected the 80% Exploration Rate settlemt.

Who do you think you're underestimating? I'm Thor, and my goal here is to achieve an SSSS rating!

Skythousand roared again, tering its final berserk state. Its thousand legs moved ev faster, and the frequcy of its skill releases increased.

...

Five minutes later,

:58 AM.

All humans in the Tower of Truth received a sudd announcemt.

"Participant Thor has conquered the Elevth Floor with an SSSS rating, granting all humans in the Tower of Truth the buff [Parkour Master]!"

"Limited-time buff [Graceful Movemt]: +30% movemt speed for all humans in the Tower of Truth, lasts 6 hours!"

"Limited-time buff [Robust Physique]: Upon death, humans in the Tower of Truth will not ter a weaked state wh returning to the Core City of Truth, lasts 6 hours!"

"Limited-time buff [Experice Boost]: +5% experice gain for all humans in the Tower of Truth, lasts 3 hours!"

"[Parkour Master]: 5% chance to dodge wh hit by normal attacks or skills, lasts 6 hours!"

SSSS rating! And it only took an hour this time! In fact, if you excluded the half-hour Mike wasted at the beginning, he could have done it in just 30 minutes.

The Elevth Floor was too easy for him; he conquered it with 0% ease.

As a personal reward for achieving an SSSS rating on the Elevth Floor, Mike received a permant buff:

[Perfect Aim]: The hundredth spell/attack will have a 0% hit rate!

This buff was added to Mike's status bar, meaning it would be effective ev outside the Tower of Truth!

On the surface, [Perfect Aim] didn't seem too strong, as it required 99 accumulations before it could be used once. But in battle, its practical effect was invaluable!

Especially against wind elemts or high-evasion emies, Mike had the upper hand. Ev if the oppont dodged 99 attacks, Mike could calmly stack 30 layers of Charge Up and th unleash a Thunderclap Strike! The world would fall silt!

Putting away the status introduction, light flashed, and Mike returned to the Core City of Truth. During the Elevth Floor battle, he had leveled up from 60 to 76, with a slight increase in attributes and a significant boost in equipmt levels.

His [Flame Rhythm Boots] also upgraded due to meeting the upgrade conditions.

However, the upgraded [Flame Rhythm Boots] were only level 40, far below Mike's currt level, making them less effective. Although the boots were powerful within their tier, they couldn't bridge the level gap.

Mike planned to challge the Tower of Truth thoroughly tonight, aiming to level up while achieving SSSS ratings. After the challges, he would purchase new equipmt and items based on his level.

Glancing at his attribute panel, nothing caught Mike's atttion. With many tasks ahead, he summoned the Core Crystal of Truth again.

Target: Twelfth Floor!

"Wishing you an early conquest of the Tower of Truth!"

...

48 minutes later,

:47 AM.

Humans in the Tower of Truth were stunned by a new announcemt!

"Participant Thor has conquered the Twelfth Floor with an SSSS rating, granting all humans in the Tower of Truth..."

In just two hours, two SSSS ratings! Madness, absolute madness!

Social media exploded, with people not ev discussing the rewards for the SSSS ratings. They were all curious about one thing:

How many SSSS ratings would Thor achieve on this crazy night?!
