So throughout book eight there were a few mentions that the rules for the gods soul armor would be different on the twelfth floor.
and combing that with the System AI’s proclamation about the victor of the ascendency games becoming like a super god then showing the images of multiples gods PLUS!!! Crawlers, implying they can win?
So my crack shot theory is that the rule change is that removing the soul armor of a sponsored god on the twelfth floor will allow who ever stole it to now wear it thus being able to win the ascendency games? Idk we’ll see. I’ll never be able to predict the magical bull shit Matt comes up with.
