Villain With The Strongest System

"What is this nonsense? A single man originated a floor raid and the tower administrator allowed his challenge? Just which lesser god decided to pick a fight with the Olympians?" Perseus asked in surprise, as a floor raid wasn't something that just anyone could trigger.

A floor raid could only be triggered by a force which the tower acknowledged as capable of having a shot at actually winning the fight, which was why Perseus automatically assumed that the individual triggering the floor raid had to be a lesser god, as only a lesser god could have a fair shot at taking down an entire floor by themselves.

If there were no restrictions placed on as to who could trigger a floor raid, then anyone discontent with the status quo could potentially trigger a floor raid, which could lead to the floor master having to face a several dozen floor raids a day, potentially for perpetuity, as there was no shortage of mentally unstable climbers that were ready to throw their lives away for the chance at greatness.

However, to prevent weak climbers from unnecessarily wasting a floor master's time, there were certain restrictions placed on who could trigger a floor raid and who could not and any individual or party that the tower did not deem worthy enough or credible enough to trigger a floor raid, could not do so.

The criteria to trigger one was pretty simple.

If the tower judged the raiding party to have a success rate of greater than 2%, it would accept the floor raid challenge as legitimate, however, if the winning probability was under 2% it would not permit the floor raid.

When a floor raid was triggered, it wasn't something as simple as the challenger facing just the floor master and his personal forces, as to overthrow a floor master, one needed to not only face the floor master himself, his forces, but also all the local inhabitants of a floor.

Every tower floor was like a world of its own, with many beasts and locals being indigenously born there, or many climbers permanently settling there, calling the floor their 'home'.

Just like how planets outside the towers were subjected to monster raids, the inhabitants inside the tower were subjected to floor raids, as everytime a floor raid was triggered, every single inhabitant of the floor, whether it was an intellectual bipedal species, or a beast, were all expected to come to the aid of the floor master and fight on his behalf.

This meant that in terms of simple numbers, the floor master's army consisted of not just thousands of troops or hundreds of thousands of troops, but rather hundreds of millions and billions of troops, which made the task of winning a floor that much more difficult.

This phenomenon was the biggest reason behind why most floor raids ended in failure and why rarely did floor master's of a floor change.

However, while the inflated troop numbers looked like something extremely useful, their practical use in battle was overestimated.

Unlike the floor master's personal forces that could be properly organised and instructed to fight in formation, the floor master did not have any real command over the normal inhabitants and could not force them to obey his commands.

Just like the climbers of Earth could technically choose not to defend it and let their home planet be overrun by monsters, the local inhabitants could also choose not to fight in the floor raid for the floor master and let him fall if they truly wished for a regime change.

This meant that although the floor master technically had a force numbering in the billions at his disposal, he could never really count on them for sure.

However, for the tower to give any single individual the right to launch a floor raid, Perseus expected him/her to be a lesser god at the least, as he could not even comprehend how a single individual that wasn't even a lesser god could take on millions of troops and still have a shot at winning.

Most lesser gods understood how the tower power dynamics worked and were not mentally unstable like failed tier1 or tier2 climbers, as they understood that even if they won the floor raid, as long as they were challenging Olympus, their floor reign would not last more than 10 days and that they would be subjected to the most horrific death.

This meant that the only gods that were crazy enough to launch a floor raid on an Olympian stronghold solo, were those backed by either Gemini or the Dragon God, however, Perseus seriously doubted that either of those two forces had any motive to launch a floor raid on his base randomly.

"Someone check and tell me who is the originator of this raid. Which lesser god has lost his mind today?" Perseus said, as he demanded that someone bring him a credible intelligence report and fast.

Immediately his scouts went to work and within ten minutes, a report was submitted to him as Perseus was shocked to see that it wasn't a lesser god that had launched a floor raid, but rather the mad principal Liam who had.

Having fully gone berserk, he was wielding a massive army of over 200,000 spectres and was approaching the royal castle fast, with his approach seeming unstoppable.

"What? Why did Liam suddenly launch a full blown floor raid…. Did that geezer finally snap and lose his mind?

The seeds of power aren't a simple treasure. If he tries to wield over 200,000 spectres at once with his mortal body, he would die himself from the stress…. What is he trying to do with this suicidal attempt?" Perseus wondered, as he hurriedly began giving orders to his men to prepare to intercept Liam before he reached the palace gates.

There were not many ways to deal with a spectral army as physical attacks were useless against them, meaning that only magical attacks could stand a chance in taking them down.
