Just call me Thor

Chapter 25: Make sure to thank Thor



100% Exploration Rate!

SSSS-level clearance!

After an event that defied all common sense, Thor danced in everyone's blind spot of

knowledge. Even the old-timers who had followed the supreme beings had never seen such a spectacle!

SSSS-level? Where did that extra 'S' come from?!

Before they could remain shocked for too long, a new server-wide announcement spread.

"Participant Thor achieves SSSS-level clearance on the first level, awarding all human races in the Tower of Truth the [Guardian Angel] buff!"

"Limited-time buff [Overall Enhancement], all attributes for the human race in the Tower of Truth +15%, lasts for 3 hours!"

"Limited-time buff [Focused Defense], damage received by the human race in the Tower of Truth -20%, lasts for 3 hours!"

"Limited-time buff [Farewell to Weakness], after death, humans in the Tower of Truth returning to the Core City of Truth will not enter a weakened state, lasts for 3 hours."

[Guardian Angel]: Upon death inside the Tower of Truth, receive a one-time full-status resurrection on the spot, clear all debuffs while retaining half of your buffs, duration: forever, the buff disappears after resurrection!

This time, the public channels of the Tower of Truth literally exploded, with countless messages scrolling and flashing, cheering for Thor!

"So powerful! With this resurrection chance, I can push one more level!"

"Level 29, stuck for 30 years, today I'll show those guys on level 29 what I'm made of!"

"This is insane, it's a carnival in the history of our race!"

The buffs [Overall Enhancement] and [Focused Defense] are particularly significant for Battle Soldiers and Battle Generals who have been stuck at certain thresholds for years!

Sometimes, just a 1% improvement can lead to a qualitative leap, let alone an increase of 15- 20%!

For Battle Chiefs and Battle Lords, what they value most is [Guardian Angel]! Other buffs are nothing new to them, having experienced them in other supreme being eras.

But this [Guardian Angel] is an absolute game-changer, the best tool for breaking through the Tower of Truth! For them, the chance for an on-the-spot full-status resurrection is incredibly precious!

The rewards bestowed upon everyone by the Tower of Truth, following Thor's SSSS-level challenge, were like a grenade thrown into the center of a lake, immediately stirring up a massive wave!

...

Washington D.C.

A burly middle-aged man, dignified and imposing, had just received the latest news about Thor.

He briskly walked up to a grand castle that had stood for two hundred years, rumored to house the tomb of a powerful Battle Lord who had fought the demon god to a standstill and followed the supreme being through countless minor planes.

The middle-aged man muttered a few incantations and inserted a magical crystal into the castle's grand door. A minute later, the entire castle began to shake violently, and a crack formed in the middle of the door.

Stepping into the castle's grand hall, a black coffin slowly levitated from the ground. From inside, an aged, hoarse voice emerged. "Is what you say true?"

"I dare not deceive the ancestor," the middle-aged man replied.

The coffin trembled, and blood began to seep from it!

The hoarse voice, grating like sandpaper rubbing together, was unpleasant to the ears but now it burst into loud laughter.

"Hahaha! Our human race, there is hope for a great rise, all thanks to Thor!

Kill! Kill all those bastards! The blood debt must be repaid!

Dirty demon god, give me back my brother's life! Die!"

The person inside the coffin seemed not entirely lucid, rambling for ten minutes before slowly calming down.

"The Guardian Angel is indeed powerful; ordinary Battle Lords can gain a significant boost from it, but it's ineffective for me. The level I'm stuck at can't be overcome just by clinging to life. Even when the supreme being intervened to help me, I still failed. If it weren't for that great one paying a price to save me, I wouldn't even have the chance to linger on in this coffin..."

The great figure inside the coffin casually mentioned content that seemed to involve shocking secrets.

He had gone into the Tower of Truth, even having the supreme being protect him! Ordinary Battle Lords could never expect such treatment!

The powerful Battle Lord of the past was only feigning death! He still had a breath left in him!

He sighed, his blood once boiling, now cooling down.

The voice from the coffin sounded somewhat weary, "You may go back. Wait until Thor achieves another SSSS-level clearance and there are new rewards, then come to seek me

again.

Every time you awaken me, I move a step closer to death. If I die, the fragile balance of power between the human race and the Abyssal Plane will be broken. You know what will happen then, don't you?"

The middle-aged man bowed deeply in utmost respect, "Understood."

Rumble-

The black coffin sank back down, and a single drop of blood slid from it, falling onto the floor

of the castle.

Infinite life energy swept across the land, invigorating the flowers, plants, and trees planted around the castle, regardless of season or species. In that moment, they were all bursting with

vitality!

Trees grew wildly, branches spread out, presenting a scene brimming with life and

abundance!

Not only that, this terrifying aura spread in all directions from Washington D.C.

That night, all living beings in Washington D.C. were growing at an accelerated rate!

And all this was triggered by just a single drop of blood from a certain being...

...

Such disturbances like those in Washington D.C. were happening all over the United States,

even globally.

Battle Chiefs and Battle Lords, silent for many years, were reemerging!

With the Guardian Angel, they had the opportunity to challenge higher level of the Tower of

Truth!

Even in failure, they were not discouraged!

They knew, with the rise of Thor, a new era of supreme power was approaching!

The era of supremacy would not only see the rise of countless newcomers and geniuses, but it

was also a great opportunity for them to become powerful once again!

Missing out on Thor, the next potential supreme being, no one knew when another would

emerge!

At this time, all of humanity was plunged into a frenzy!

Even the Defense Headquarters had not anticipated that Thor could cause such a stir! They

held meetings overnight to discuss the matter!

And at the heart of this storm, Thor himself-Mike, was currently strolling in the Core City of

Truth.

After clearing the first level, Mike had been sent back here.

"Why is there no one on the streets?"

Mike curiously surveyed his surroundings, noticing that the usually bustling Trade Zone was

now deserted.

Many shops and stalls had chosen to close.

"Why aren't they working?"

Mike asked a worker who was closing up, curious.

"Working? Hell no!"

The worker secured the door, excitedly saying,

"Didn't you hear the server-wide announcement? Tonight there's an attribute and defense overall enhancement, plus the Guardian Angel. If we don't seize the time to challenge the levels, why would we stay here working?"

"Working has no future!"

Yes-

He made a good point, and Mike found himself momentarily at a loss for words. "Young man, take my advice and go challenge the levels! Seize this opportunity! And make

sure to thank Thor!" The worker quickly departed, not forgetting to encourage Mike to give it

a try as well.

Tonight was definitely the best time to level up!

Mike chuckled to himself.

"These buffs are indeed powerful, but they don't make much of a difference for me."

After clearing with an SSSS rating, the rewards given to Mike were not just for him alone, but

for all the human on the world!

In other words, had Mike, by his own efforts, essentially equipped every human on the world

with a revival armor?

"Thinking about it that way, I guess I am quite the benefactor."

Walking down the deserted streets, humming a tune, Mike leisurely made his way to the

[Combat Power Test Zone].

"Let's go see how many tiers of Battle Soldiers I'm equivalent to now!"
