Thor’s Limit

Tony had also temporarily sorted out his emotions and cheerfully entertained Thor and Loki.

Three months later.

Loki had successfully entered the thirtyfold gravity chamber using only his physical body. With Godly Power, he could train for twelve hours in the thirty-fivefold gravity chamber.

As for chambers with even higher gravity multipliers, Loki’s physical body had already reached its limit, and his Godly Power was nowhere near as vast as Thor’s. Thus, the thirty-fivefold gravity chamber was already his limit.

Thor, meanwhile, successfully entered the fortyfold gravity chamber using only his physical body. With Godly Power, he could train for eleven hours in the sixtyfold gravity chamber.

This meant that as long as Thor made proper use of his Godly Power, he could directly train in the sixtyfold gravity chamber.

Thor’s terrifying physical body, further enhanced by Godly Power, made even Tony and Banner’s hearts pound when they saw it.

As expected of God King Odin’s son. His innate divine body had reached heights countless people could only look up to.

Thor’s muscles had also become stronger and more defined than before he arrived, brimming with explosive power.

He already knew that even if he used Godly Power, it was unlikely that he could compare to Banner, that physical monster who had joined the Void and evolved many times.

But so what? Compared to competing with Banner, he was now competing more with himself.

At that moment, Thor was clad in silver lightning and wearing armor, like the Thunder god himself. Inside the sixtyfold gravity chamber, where even the air seemed slightly distorted, he trained without pause.

Although it felt extremely uncomfortable at first, Tony and Banner had been right.

The gravity chamber allowed powerful people like them, with astonishing strength and endurance, to truly let loose and experience fatigue once more.

That feeling made Thor feel incomparably fulfilled. Moreover, he wanted to test his ultimate limit.

Thor hoped that he could truly meet the standard for training in the sixtyfold gravity chamber.

Therefore, Thor constantly tried to control the Godly Power in his body, using Asgardian magic to strengthen himself. He wanted to force out his limit.

Thor’s control over his Godly Power had not been this good to begin with, but after entering the gravity chamber—

Because he had to use Godly Power every time, the speed at which he controlled it became much faster and smoother.

More importantly, he had learned how to use Godly Power correctly and without wasting it, keeping his divine body in its optimal state.

He had also truly realized just how lazy he had been in the past.

If he had begun training like this years ago, his strength would definitely have been far greater than it was now. Still, it was not too late.

Tony, Banner, and Loki were currently standing in the control room, watching the timer on the gravity chamber.

Time passed bit by bit. Eleven hours, fifty-nine minutes.

Thor was only one minute away from truly meeting the standard for the sixtyfold gravity chamber.

Thor trained inside the gravity chamber, completely absorbed.

Second by second, time passed until the final second of that minute elapsed.

"Lord Thor Odinson, congratulations on successfully passing the test of sixtyfold gravity and becoming the fifth person capable of passing this test."

"Sixtyfold gravity is an extremely harsh environment. The process of passing this test must have been very difficult."

"However, the hardships and sweat you have endured now will bring you even greater rewards in the future."

"So please do not stop here. Continue to temper and improve yourself, and contribute your share to the Void Cult."

A pleasant, cool, mature female voice came from the gravity chamber’s loudspeaker. Like the final gentle breeze before winter departed, it blew into one’s heart.

The admiration and encouragement in her words made one feel exceptionally delighted.

As the voice sounded, the gravity within the chamber began rapidly decreasing at a rate of twofold gravity every five seconds.

If it instantly changed from sixtyfold gravity back to normal gravity, the drastic environmental shift could place considerable strain on the body and internal organs.

Therefore, even when shutting down the gravity device, it naturally had to be done gradually.

"Finally, I did it!"

Hearing the voice and learning that he was the fifth person, Thor was overjoyed. Although he was already too exhausted to move, he still clenched both fists and shouted in delight.

In truth, Thor had been battling this sixtyfold gravity chamber for an entire month.

At first, because he could not properly control his Godly Power and wasted too much of it, he could only train inside for two hours. Now, he had finally met the standard.

He had put in tremendous effort during that time, to the point where Thor felt as though countless brain cells had died.

However, when effort was ultimately rewarded, one could better savor the joy that effort brought.

Moreover, after working hard, being able to genuinely feel one’s strength improving was also deeply intoxicating.

The Void Cult’s gravity chamber looked unremarkable, yet it was an unadorned treasure.

As long as one could endure the discomfort inside, the improvement it brought could be felt very clearly. He wondered which genius had proposed building it.

After the gravity completely disappeared, the walls around the gravity chamber opened, and bursts of cool wind blew out.

They gave the exhausted and overheated Thor an immense sense of comfort.

This only activated when someone truly met the standard and the chamber shut down automatically.

Thor had asked Tony why it did not activate whenever the chamber stopped, since it clearly did not consume much energy.

But Tony said that had been Void Envoy Sonia’s idea.

Although it was not a particularly crucial function and did not consume much energy—

Only those who successfully passed the test could experience it, allowing them to feel greater joy and stirring up everyone else’s competitive spirit.

After passing test after test, Thor increasingly understood the importance of details.

Tony, Banner, and Loki did not immediately enter to disturb Thor after the gravity chamber had fully stopped.

Instead, they let Thor continue savoring the exhilaration of success for a while.

Afterward, Thor dragged his exhausted body out of the gravity chamber.

"Tony, whose voice was that?"

"Why were the first fifty levels voiced by a man, but it changed at sixtyfold gravity?"

After coming out, Thor looked at Tony and Banner and asked.

"Originally, I planned to use a male voice the whole way, but Miss Sonia—"

"Thought successful challengers needed more encouragement, and most Void Cult members are men."

"So compared to a man’s mechanical voice, they would prefer a female voice. I followed her request and modified it."

"The sixtyfold gravity chamber was voiced by Miss Claudia."

"The seventyfold one is Miss Lalatina."

"The eightyfold one is Recorder Sarah."

"The ninetyfold one is Miss Lacey."

"Anything at one hundredfold gravity and above was personally voiced by Miss Sonia."

"And what each of them says to successful challengers is different."

"Void Cult members hold Miss Sonia in great respect, so after hearing this—"

"Most of them want to challenge higher levels, hoping to reach one hundredfold gravity or above and hear Miss Sonia encourage them."

Hearing Thor’s question, Tony casually explained.

Miss Sonia’s management ability was beyond doubt, and she also had an extremely precise grasp of men’s psychology.

She knew what men desired, so she could make others feel a greater sense of accomplishment through every detail.

"Miss Claudia? Who’s that?"

"And she said I was the fifth to succeed. Besides me, who else did it?"

Hearing Tony’s words, Thor felt some admiration for Miss Sonia. Then he asked with curiosity and concern.

"Miss Claudia is also a great beauty. She looks like the cold, aloof beauty type."

"However, her personality is rather reserved, so she rarely appears."

Tony did not waste words. He directly opened a ranking list.

Kyle was in first place, Lex in second, Bruce Banner in third, and Lacey in fourth.

Thor Odinson’s name also appeared in the final position, with the date marked beside it.

"Just as expected of a tyrannosaurus…"

Seeing Lacey’s name on the rankings, Loki’s eyes flickered as he spoke with a trace of resentment.

When Lacey had caught him before, he had not even been able to run away. He had known then that Lacey only looked like a sexy, beautiful, delicate woman.

In reality, Lacey was a humanoid female tyrannosaurus with a beautiful appearance and terrifying strength.

"Is Miss Lacey’s physical body really that strong?"

The sense of pride in Thor’s heart grew even stronger as he looked at the rankings, though his attention was drawn to Lacey’s name.

"As for Lacey, among the many Void Cult members, the number of times she has evolved is currently second only to Lex, who has evolved the most."

"She has evolved at least fifty more times than I have, and she has never made a mistake in the direction of her evolution. Unlike me, who tried evolving in every aspect."

Tony said with a smile.

If Steve could follow Lacey’s example, then once he caught up to or even surpassed Tony in evolution count, Steve’s strength might not be much weaker than Tony’s.

However, Tony did not think Steve would be as ruthless as Lacey.

Lacey had said that she had previously worked as an intelligence agent at a bounty tavern. Having seen so much, she likely understood the feeling of weakness better, perhaps even having experienced the sorrow that came with being weak.

That was why she had been so ruthless toward herself after joining the Void.

Still, these were only Tony’s guesses. He had not investigated much of Lacey’s past.

"Then what is the highest gravity multiplier Miss Lacey can enter now?"

Thor became interested upon hearing that.

"We’ll know by checking the records. She currently trains on the seventh level most of the time—sixty-twofold gravity."

Tony tapped a few times in the control room, and a more detailed record table appeared.

"…"

Looking at Kyle, who stood at the top of the record rankings with a highest record of eightyfold gravity, Thor and Loki gained an even deeper understanding of the Void Cult’s strength.
