Noticing Linsley's interest, Zephyrax replied, "The lack of Level 9.9 Overlords in this world is due to the existence of ascension."
Hearing Zephyrax's reply, Linsley could already guess what he meant since that kind of plot was very common in the novels he'd read in his past life. However, guesses were just guesses, so Linsley didn't interrupt Zephyrax and waited for his explanation.
Noticing that Linsley was listening, Zephyrax continued, "When a Level 9.8 Overlord breaks through the restrictions, or invisible barrier, preventing them from becoming a Level 9.9 Overlord, they're no longer bound by the rules of this world."
"Furthermore, the world's limit is Level 9.9. No one, no matter their talent or the amount of flux they absorb, can reach Level 10."
