n”Here it is…” Maximus muttered, looking at the depth of the sea.

nThe forbidden forest constitutes up to 90 percent of the landmass of the Curse Continent.

nA forbidden land even for the Holy Emperors of the past dared not to explore.

nIn the event of war, this landmass always sank into the sea, disappearing from the world’s sight.

nIt would only reappear after the holy emperor died and the unification of the Curse Continent was disbanded.

n“Valoros, the battle sage…”

n“I didn’t expect you to participate in the war you initiated.”

nThat’s right, Khan, whom he had fought earlier, was somewhat related to Valoros.

nAfter all, who would have a much deeper mastery in the Amalgamation of Will other than the creator?

n“Come out! I have something to tell you!” Maximus yelled domineeringly.

nAlthough he didn’t want to fight with a peak apex sovereign, it didn’t mean he was scared.

nHe had nothing but money, with a myriad world mall; all kinds of tier 10 items were at his fingertips.

nTo dare to harm his family, one should be ready to face the consequences.

nEven if he was a close confidant of Malgron, there was no escaping due punishment.

nSoon, the sea boiled, as 90 percent of the continent slowly emerged from the sea.

n“What power,” Maximus marveled in amazement.

nAlthough the Curse Continent didn’t have even 1 percent of the former prosperity of the Nexus Continent, it’s still measured in light-years. Tʜe sourc of ths content s NoᴠFre.nt

nTo control it with just raw power, Maximus could only say it’s worthy of a peak apex sovereign.

n“You called me?” A sound echoed in the sea as colossal pressure descended upon him.

n“What a good dog! You came out quickly!” Maximus taunted, resisting the pressure descending upon him.

nHe had already learned his lesson and didn’t foolishly use the Amalgamation of Will against its creator.

nBurning his power of law, he was like a stubborn fire against the sea.

n“What a daring young lad,” Valoros finally appeared, looking at Maximus with interest.

nTo be able to defeat his clone, it could be said that Maximus was already close to his first test subject.

n“You! It seems that you are not from this dimension!” Maximus suddenly said in shock.

nAfter scanning Valoros, he noticed elements that shouldn’t exist in the Etherium realm.

nPracticing the ‘Origin,’ he was quite sensitive to different energy.

nNo matter how Valoros had hidden it, it was like a light bulb in the dark.

nThis discovery also made his body tense, ready to use all he could.

nValoros was also a little shocked, hearing Maximus discovered him.

nMore importantly, his intuition was eagerly warning him of impending danger.

n“Wait, young man, don’t be impulsive!” Valoros hurriedly said.

nHe didn’t expect an Aborigine from a tier 9 dimension to make him feel danger to this degree.

nAlthough he already knew Maximus possessed some connection with some dimensional merchant, he was still shocked.

nLooking at his clone’s memories, it seemed he was killed by a tier 10 poison, preventing any energy beyond the Origin of Law from having any effect.

nBut Maximus owned one of those hateful transdimensional system.

nThinking of this, everything suddenly made sense.

nMaximus’s riseand the Moonlight Empire’s outrageous capabilities—all these illogical events suddenly came together.

nBefore he could think anything, Maximus’s cold voice, full of killing intent, reached him.

n“What happened to the previous Valoros?” Maximus asked, ready to end the man in front of him at any second.

nAs for the question he asked, it was all a guise to distract him.

nHe was not interested in whomever; after he killed him, he could find out everything later.

n“Relax, I and Valoros are one.”

n“I was born and raised in this dimension, and more importantly, I mean no harm.”

n“Then die,” Maximus coldly said, seeing Valoros relax.

nReleasing a tier 10 sealing treasure, Valoros was shocked and angry.

nHe had already told Maximus to relax and not be impulsive; he didn’t expect him to still attack him.

nAs he dodged the sealing treasure, he didn’t notice an attack coming from behind.

nPrick~

nSuddenly, a pricking sensation hit him in the back.

nAs he was about to feel angry, his energy suddenly stagnated.

n“What did you—”

nBefore he finished speaking, two needle-like items came flying to him.

nUrging his energy, he activated the treasure left by his other body.

nClang!

nThe two collided, slowly cracking after blocking the attack.

nSeeing that he can no longer talk sense to Maximus, he attacked.

n“A mare test subject dared to attack me. Die!”

nResisting his numbing sensation, he urged his Origin of Law to attack Maximus.

nHowever, before he could release the attack, another needle-like item came flying at him.

nThis time, it’s not one or two, but a dozen of them.

nWith a clear picture, Valoros finally remembered what the needle-like item was.

n“A tier 10 divine sealing needle?!” Valoros nearly cursed his mother.

nWhat the heck? What hatred did this brat have with him?

nJust one of these needles can only knock out those tier-10 creatures.

nYet Maximus fired a dozen of them?

nUnder such an attack, his tier 10 barrier disintegrated like paper.

nIt didn’t even last before he could cast his attack.

nIt was too fast that a tier 9 body reaction couldn’t keep up.

n“Damn!” Valoros cursed in despair as he slowly lost control of his body.

n“You could still speak?” Maximus muttered and threw another dozen tier 10 divine sealing needles.

nPrick~

nSeeing another dozen divine sealing needles felt into him, Valoros already gave up.

nHis vision, hearing, and all of his senses were blocked.

nEven the Origin of Law he was brewing, ready to use, stagnated.

nSoon, even his thoughts stopped, as if he was brain dead.

n“Tsk, what a waste. This thing is a defective product!” Maximus said in distress.

nThese divine sealing needles were the most expensive of his trump cards.

nFurthermore, they were one-time-use consumables.

nHe only had a hundred of these; now, only forty remain.

nHowever, seeing Valoros out cold, Maximus smiled in relief.

n“This black sheep is finally gone.”

n“Let’s see what secrets you are hiding!”

nPutting his hand on Valoros’s head, he activated his system.

nThe Family and Power System is a tier 11 treasure that can search and scan everything.

nDigging some memories of some apex sovereign should be no problem.

nAfter a few seconds of his system digging deep into Valoros’s memories, Valoros suddenly exploded.

nMaximus felt Valoros’s cause and effect in the Etherium realm suddenly disappear.

nValoros’s battle will, which could be used to resurrect him, dissipated.

nEverything about the Valoros seemed to be gone.

n“A defense mechanism?” Maximus guessed, seeing the phenomenon.

nFortunately, his system was quite capable and still absorbed a vast amount of memory.

nMillions of epochs’ worth of memory should be enough for him to know the origin of Valoros.

n“Let’s see,” Maximus urged his system, infusing the memory into his mind.

nSoon, huge surges of memory quickly descend, making his head hurt.

nNot wanting to die, he hurriedly stopped his system.

n“It seemed I still underestimated a powerhouse of memories.”

nA memory isn’t just a picture of videos in play.

nIt combines emotions, insights, everything one senses during memory.

nAs a tier 9 being, their sense of the world is in a whole other dimension.

nAbsorbing such raw information is nothing but suicide.

nHe would probably explode by now if not for his quickness and a little toughness.

n“Sort and transfer all key memories,” Maximus ordered.

nHe only wanted to know Valoros’s main ideas and origin.

nAs for the rest, he would slowly study it in the future.

nThis time, the memory infusion was more gentle and precise.

n…

nA few days later, Maximus slowly opened his eyes, digesting the massive memories.

n“Huh~” Maximus breathed, wiping his nonexistent sweat.

nHe was nearly assimilated by the memories infused into his mind.

nIf not for the system and being used to accepting massive infusions of different knowledge, he didn’t know if he would still be himself.

n“However, this is quite interesting. A clone of a higher being?”

nThat’s right, even Valoros was just a clone.

nThis higher being’s goal seemed to be studying, or should he say experimenting.

nValoros’s origin was much more grand than expected.

nThe Etherium realm, a dimension made up of four massive continents, wasn’t previously like this.

nThe Arcane Continent, the Nexus Continent, The Divine Continent, and the Beast Continentwere in their own tier 9 dimension, which merged to form the now-known Etherium realm.

nThis should be the reason for the illogical diversity of the Etherium realm.

nThere are gods, beasts, magicians, and warriors.

nEach has its dimension and culture before merging with each other.

nThis is also why each continent could accommodate over a thousand apex sovereigns, despite the Etherium Realm’s only 1118 laws.

nHe had read from the book he bought in the myriad world mall that each law could only be occupied by an apex sovereign.

nThere could only be one apex sovereign responsible for each law.

nHowever, the Etherium broke this rule, as each continent could have one controlling a law.

nThe one responsible for merging the four dimensions is Valoros, or should he say another clone of the higher being?

nUsing a power beyond his imagination, he fused the four dimensions like playdough.

nAs for the goal, Maximus had no idea.

nValoros died too quickly before he could dig up some more information.

n“What a pity.”

nDigging up a memory of such a powerhouse was like digging for a gold mountain.

nIt had all kinds of novel knowledge that he didn’t think of.
