n”Little nerd?”

nMaximus became curious upon hearing the name Malgron had mentioned.

nAlthough he already knew that there was a hidden powerhouse in the Cursed Continent, he didn’t know who.

nAll the histories he read were, after all, not entirely thorough and quite varied.

n“Hahaha, it’s Valoros, the brain of the former Nexus continent,” Malgron laughed as he reminisced.

nValoros was really a nerd in Malgron’s opinion.

nBesides studying new knowledge and experimenting, Valoros didn’t fight much.

nIf the Nexus was not a battle continent, maybe Valoros wouldn’t even bother to fight.

n“So it is!” Maximus nodded in understanding.

nIt seems that his guess was right.

nThe only one in the history of the Nexus continent capable of creating the amalgamation of will is Valoros, the battle sage.

n“But play? What are you talking about.”

n“It’s the one you are fighting for, the Era of Imperial Domination!” Malgron said, looking at the amalgamation of will that was on Maximus.

nThrough the years Malgron had spent in the Abyss, he had not been so outdated.

nListening to those strongholds had let him know all the major trends.

nIt’s because it’s been a while since he last returned to civilization that he was surprised at the change Maximus caused.

nMalgron had heard about the Amalgamation of Will a long time ago. The source of ths content is Novl ꜰir.nt

nHe even met with some of the Holy Emperors who ruled over the Curse Continent at some time.

nMeeting them, Malgron can only say that Valoros picked some good experimental subjects.

n“Did you mean Sage Valoros did this because of a conspiracy?”

n“It’s not that deep, it should just be a little experiment,” Malgron said, sharing his guess.

nMalgron knew Valoros well.

nThe Amalgamation of will, the main subject of his experiment, should be to create the strongest being capable of defeating him.

nThis little brat had been obsessed with defeating him since they came to know each other.

nAs the strongest being in the Etherium realm, Valoros took it as a challenge to create something stronger and beat him.

nUnfortunately for him, the Amalgamation of Will is not kind of big deal.

nAt the highest, it only reached the same power as the essence of law.

nAlthough it had some capabilities as the Origin of Law, its chaotic energy is nigh impossible to solve.

nThis caused those who mastered it, to fall into a bottleneck, never advancing to tier 9.

nMalgron can only hope Maximus can make the impossible and reach the apex.

nHe wanted to see if Valoros could finally create something that could defeat him.

n“Experiment?” Hearing Malgron’s guess, Maximus’s lips twitched.

nAn energy comparable to the essence of law was a mere experiment?

nIt’s like someone invented an energy comparable to electricity that could revolutionize the world.

nMaybe if it were not for the limit of the Etherium realm, Valoros could even create an energy comparable to the Origin of Law.

n“No, hahaha, that’s the best part.”

n“That little nerd’s physique is only a mortal one.”

n“I heard that his physique is something useless like he didn’t need to sleep or something.”

n“A mortal physique?!” Maximus muttered in shock.

nWhat’s the concept of having a mortal physique and becoming one of the strongest individuals in history?

nBasically, only the gods, who relied on absorbing god’s authority, can advance to tier 9 even with a mortal physique.

nIn history, only a few advanced to tier 9 with a mortal physique because of some treasure.

nHowever, without a doubt, they were the weakest apex sovereigns ever.

n“That’s right, all the genius and strength of Valoros come from his own,” Malgron said in admiration.

nThrough all his subordinates, Valoros is the one he admired the most.

nWith his otherworldly comprehension, Valoros achieved something that he wouldn’t even dare to imagine.

nSometimes he even wondered if Valoros was from another dimension in disguise to conduct experiments in the Etherium realm.

n“It’s indeed admirable…” Maximus muttered sincerely.

nFor an individual who achieved this greatness relying just on his own, Maximus was full of respect.

nAfter all, despite his current achievements, it all depends on his system.

nStill, Maximus thinks there is something weird with Valoros.

nIf Valoros possessed a powerful physique or some special treasure, Maximus wouldn’t be shocked by Valoros’ achievement.

nHowever, possessing raw comprehension, regardless of physique or any treasure?

nMaximus thought it was impossible.

nThere should be a reason for Valoros’ unreasonable comprehension.

nShaking his head, he thought back on the topic.

nIf Valoros was only experimenting, he shouldn’t intervene much in the era of imperial domination.

nThinking of this, he sighed in relief.

nThis had always been the variable he had been worried about.

nNow that it was out of the equation, he was more confident in his follow-up actions.

n“By the way, I’m here to talk about the follow-up plan here in the Abyss,” Maximus said, finally remembering what he came for.

nSince Maximus still didn’t want to expose his coordinates, they couldn’t receive help from other dimensions.

nWith the arrival of the enemies from the Abyss, they were in danger.

nAccording to the plan, they would delay the accumulation of energy of the Abyss for the activation of dimensional teleportation.

nAs for specifics, Malgron didn’t tell him but said that he would tell after he returned to the Etherium realm.

n“Hmm.”

n“Since you’re from the former Nexus Continent, then everything is easy.”

n“To stir up the Abyss, I need a backup.”

n“The powerhouse in the past?”

n“Yes, having them here would make things easier…” Malgron sighed in reminiscence.

nHow great it would be to have his former friends here and fight with him.

nThey would be back to the old times, stirring things up.

n“I know what to do,” Maximus reassured.

nMalgron should mean those apex sovereigns who sacrificed themselves to buy the Etherium realm time from the immediate invasion of the Abyss.

nMalgron should be aware of the power of the Amalgamation of Will.

nTo revive those heroes immediately, he just needed to stimulate their dormant Battle Will using the Amalgamation of Will.

nMalgron didn’t think of this in the past, because there was no need.

nHis strength is enough to stir up chaos in the abyss.

nHowever now that they were short in time, Malgron needed some backup.

nOf course, maybe, Malgron was just bored and wanted some playmates.

n“Then, I will leave everything to you…” Malgron said and handed over all the crystal merits in his possession.

nDespite his extravagance, in the Myriad World Mall, Malgron still had a few sextillion crystal merits.

nTo have his former comrades back to their peak this should be enough.

nUnlike, Maximus who needed almost a sextillion crystal merits to advance to tier 8.

nHis comrades were only a normal powerhouse.

nA few hundred quintillion crystal merits should be enough for them to regain a bit of their combat power.

nAfter they arrive in the abyss, regaining their peak power should be easy.

n“Leave it to me…”

n…

nAfter settling things with Malgron, Maximus went to his guild and called Silas and Andrew.

n“You called, guild leader?” Andrew asked.

nSilas, on the other hand, just nodded to him.

n“I’m returning to the Etherium realm; I’ll leave everything to you here,” Maximus said.

nHe hoped they would help their son, Liam, manage the guild here.

nAfter all, his son is a bit green and may not be able to handle all the work.

n“So soon?” Andrew was a little shocked.

nHe thought Maximus would stay here for a while longer.

nHowever, it seems that his guild leader had something important to do.

n“It’s the empire; the war there was already beginning to be intense,” Maximus explained.

n“Is that so…” Andrew nodded in understanding.

nFor him, the Moonlight Empire is already part of the guild.

nHearing that it was in danger, it was only appropriate for the guild leader to go back.

n“Do you have any questions?”

n“No,” Andrew answered.

nMaximus has always been a hands-on keeper, so Andrew was already used to it.

nAs for Silas, he just shook his head.

nHis routine had long been established.

nWhether Maximus was here or not, it would not change.

n“That’s good.”

n…

nA few years later.

nIn the Etherium Sanctuary, Dimensional Teleportation array.

nMaximus was with his family as they prepared to return to the Etherium realm.

nAround them were also individuals who had advanced to tier 8 and wanted to go back to their homes.

nThey didn’t want to stay here any longer.

nAlthough the profits in the Abyss are rich, it’s not bearable for many.

nFurthermore, after advancing, they needed a quiet place for seclusion to master the power of law.

n“Have you got everything?” Maximus asked if they had forgotten something.

n“No, we have everything…”

nThey didn’t have much baggage except for some supplies, so packing was quite easy.

nAs for missing those who stayed here, they already said goodbye.

nAccording to Maximus, they would return here shortly after.

nMaximus just needed to settle everything in the Etherium realm for a while and they would return.

n…

nIn another place, Rakasha, who was quietly meditating, noticed Maximus in the Dimensional Teleportation array.

n“Already returning?” Rakasha muttered in interest.

nRakasha thought Maximus would settle here and accumulate for a while.

nWho knew he was so eager to return?

nHe wondered what chaos Maximus would cause in the Etherium realm.

nHaving a connection with a powerful dimension, the Etherium realm would surely undergo massive changes.

n“Tsk, tsk, how exciting…”
