At the Fellowship of the Third HQ, a small 5 story building, they gathered for a meeting.

"This is crazy! Those Olympus bastards are bullying her!" Isla said

"I know dear. I know. But right now, we have to lay low and raise our strength. The Olympus Guild is the strongest in the country, they seem to have a hold on the media and politically they control the city" Magnus said

"But Jasmine...Anna.." Isla argued

"I had told them, we will help wherever we can. We just gave an interview didn't we, about the last floor being the 99th floor to confirm Jasmine's assertion" Magnus

"But... they... especially Jasmine, she's a S Rank, isn't she? By right the Princesses would be the most powerful group in the country. Jasmine could just smash them, and there is nothing they can do about it" Rudolfo said

"You... you have to be careful Ru. This is not common knowledge, but the government has been doing research on the gems they recovered from the Gates. They....they've reached a breakthrough in recent months. It's still confidential, but they've developed a drug that can boost one's power level to the next level for a day. And they have made special arrangements to test them with the Olympus Guild" Magnus answered

"How.. how do you know this?" Rudelfo asked

"Norman from the Hunters Association told me. He...he's not comfortable with the Olympus Guild amassing so much power. But there is little he can do about it since they are dealing directly with the military" Magnus answered.

"That's insane! So.. a B Rank would have the equivalent power of an A Rank? They have so many B Ranks!" Lucas said

"More importantly, an A Rank will have the power of a S Rank! The government started this research as a counter to the threat of the Chinese and Russian S Rank. The Brits and the Germans have a S Rank each too. Of course, they did this research before we came out of the Tower. So this is before Jasmine became a Hunter and the nation's first S Rank" Magnus said

"Have you told Jasmine this?" Phoebe asked

"Norman has informed Anna. If Anna knows, I'm sure Jasmine knows. It's just that this drug is still experimental. So those bastards are still using it sparingly. They also don't know if there are after effects. But I'm telling you all now so that you would be careful" Magnus said

They all nodded.

"There's another thing too. The military is also developing slave collars" Magnum said

"What do you mean?" Mona asked

"They intend to weaponize the monsters for the military's bidding. But it's still under development" Magnum said

 "Are you sure they're only going to use it on monsters, not people?" Aragorn asked

"I don't know. But I'm telling you guys to stay on your guard" Magnus said. 

"And they are giving them to Olympus Guild too?" Lucius asked

"This,,, I don't know. Not even Norman knows. I just hope not. I just don't trust them" Magnus said. 

"Not cool man, not cool" Lucas said. 

"On other matters, Ru.... erm... how do I put this...maybe you should back off Anna a bit" Magnus said

"What..what do you mean?" Rudolfo asked

"Jasmine told me she's Lex's woman as well" Isla said

"She...Lex...Damn it! Some guys have all the luck! Since when?" Rudolfo asked

"Since he finished the second round with her. Remember the fight the first time the Princesses met each other? It looks like all 3 rounds were finished by him" Isla answered

"Damn!" Rudolfo said, sulking the rest of the day.

--

On the 26th floor, on the 30th day, Lex was dual cultivating with Ahmanet. 

He had lost himself to his lust and this was more about fucking her than dual cultivating.

She and the other female leaders were close to breaking through to Level 9, so he was mainly dual cultivating with them.

But he was also taking out his frustration on them through his lust, as something was bothering him too much.

What happens if he goes all the way to the end again, and is sent another loop?

He knew that was what most likely will happen. But he didn't know what to do about it.  

He looked at a giant monster in the distance. He has been rushing through the floors, searching for Jasmine. He avoided all the monsters just to rush through faster. 

But what if he's wasting his time in this cycle? This was very likely considering he wasn't doing anything different, only going through the floors faster.

Why not treat this round as a loss and prepare for the future round?

After doing nothing but think about the problem, he figured that there was two things he could do.

Firstly, kill all the creatures on the floor and turn them to shadow clones, so that the floor would be empty the next time round, and secondly leave shadow clones on each floor to teleport directly to if needed. 

He didn't know if he could teleport between floors, or even if they remained after he restarts again at the 1st floor. But he could teleport between floors through the shadows, he could teleport directly from the 1st floor to the final floor.

If he can't teleport between floors, but the shadow clones remained, he could still rush through by teleporting from entrance portal to the exit portal on each floor if he left a shadow clone next to the exit portals!

And lastly, he hoped that if there were no more enemies, if everything have become his shadow clones, the tower may finally let him out!

Opening his eyes, he took a deep breath. He now had his gameplan. Since the tower was fucking with him, lets fuck everything up and overturn the whole apple cart!

"Well then, lets play!" he said, fully intending to ruin everything for the tower.

Out of the shadows, thousand of shadow clones shot out, aiming for total genocide of every creature on the floor.

All the bodies were to be brought back to him within the day for him to turn the into shadow clones, and he would take as much time on each floor to ensure not a single thing was left alive.

This day, he became an upgrade of his old marine nickname Captain Death, where he bravely killed monsters.

At the genocidal level now, he had become the God of Death!
