Chapter 466: Entry was impossible

Releasing [Banishment to the Endless Void] costs a hair. For others, this might be nothing. But for Nova Voidwalker, it was a different story. His hair was so sparse, it was practically endangered!
Feeling incredibly sorry, Mike stared intently at Nova Voidwalker's shiny, polished head, focusing, trying to see if there was anything he could do to help.
[Analyzing...]
[Hair regrowth method: Level up]
Mike: "..."
Well, *that's* not helpful! An Ultimate Lord like him, if he *could* level up, he would have done it ages ago.
It was precisely *because* Nova Voidwalker was so powerful that growing hair back was so ridiculously difficult. Even a full-powered blow from a lord wouldn't leave a scratch, let alone stimulate hair growth.
Nova Voidwalker sighed. "I'll go back and arrange Sixty-Three's funeral..." Today, he'd experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Talk about a rollercoaster of emotions!
Nova Voidwalker left, vanishing as if he'd never been there. Only Ace remained.
Mike and Ace returned together. On the way, Ace said, "We used a small portion of the ore you provided."
Back in the Ninth Abyss, the demon army seemed overwhelming, and the human situation looked dire. In reality, aside from the first few symbolic attacks, most of the demon army, under the command of the Ninth Demon God, were just messing around.
The Fifth Demon God knew perfectly well about the Ninth Demon God possibly being a mole. He didn't care. The Fifth Demon God only cared about kicking the bucket ASAP.
It was the Ninth Demon God's cooperation and the Fifth Demon God's tacit approval that led to the Supreme Abyssal demon creature's crushing defeat! That battle pretty much wiped out all the small fry that the Supreme Abyssal had managed to sneak out, with only two wisps of black fog escaping into the Tower of Truth.
As a result, the corps stationed in the Ninth Abyss had depleted their reserves.
"Thor, the united corps wants to make a deal with you." Ace laid out the terms. "Including what's already been used, the united corps will buy all your ore below S-rank at market price."
Mike didn't have a huge need for ore below S-rank. Master Fool used higher-quality materials for his SSS-rank equipment anyway. Plus, the transaction would go through the Mystic Market, ensuring a fair price.
Mike nodded and asked, "How much are we talking?"
sky. Vladimir howled at the sky, letting out a wolf-like cry.
Mike glanced at Vladimir, and a prompt popped up:
[This hat is quite valuable. It can detect spatial fluctuations.]
[As for its purpose... take a guess who it's meant to guard against?]
Mike rolled his eyes, choosing not to make a fuss about it. Strolling through his private space,
he casually asked, "Anything to report?"
"Yes!" Vladimir, ever the tattletale, reported, "Today, when the Nature Elf Envoy was hammering for Master Fool, she suddenly turned into wood and hit herself with the hammer! She's still mad about it..."
"Really?" Mike raised an eyebrow, asking for the specific time. The time the Nature Elf Envoy turned into wood was shortly after he finished talking to Apollo!
"Is it possible... that Apollo turned the powerful elven in the black fog into wood? But because that powerful elven was so high-ranking, it affected other elves?"
There was precedent for this. The Blood Ancestor's failed breakthrough caused the Blood River to go berserk, affecting all powerful blood clan beings. From this perspective, the powerful elven in the black fog was very likely the former Elf Ancestor!
"Go play. I need to do some research." Dismissing Vladimir, Mike used the Eye of Truth to diligently research information about the elves and the Elf Ancestor.
Time passed, and soon it was midnight. As the clock struck twelve, countless people flooded into the Tower of Truth. Quickly, someone in the Core City of Truth noticed something was
wrong.
"What's going on? Why can't I enter the thirty-second floor?"
"Damn it! I was so close to conquering the thirty-sixth floor!"
"....."
Today, everyone who entered the Tower of Truth discovered a terrifying fact: the options for
floors thirty-one to forty-nine in the Core Truth Crystal were all grayed out!
Entry was impossible!
