Chapter 871: Harvest of Myriad Energy
In the Shadow Void Land
Maximus and the other Overseers watched as the transaction involving the dark beasts began to surge.
From a small trickle, it suddenly became a flood as one tier 13 dark beast after another was exchanged.
"What happened?! How could so many tier 13 dark beasts be killed?"
Looking at the transaction history, even they themselves might not be as efficient.
"Haha, they must have tasted the benefits," Maximus laughed, knowing what happened through the Omnis.
After learning they could kill a tier 13 dark beast by cooperating, the Overlords went wild.
Instead of running from the enemy, they began to hunt them consciously, as if searching for gold.
Some daring fellows even teleported deep into the dark beast tide to hunt.
Unfortunately, surrounded by an uncountable number of dark beasts, they were quickly overwhelmed.
Even with the Omnis’ direct teleportation, many still couldn’t survive and were torn apart as soon as they arrived.
To this, Maximus could only say sorry.
They had already been warned of the danger and certain death, yet they still insisted on going.
Turning to the myriad energy that reached thousands of units in just a few hundred years, Maximus’ smile returned.
"This is too efficient. If this continues, we might really repel the dark beast tide..."
Much less the myriad energy they could potentially earn, just the relief of possibly ending the dark beast tide was more than enough to give them smiles.
Looking at the map detailing the distribution of dark beasts steadily dwindling, they still couldn’t believe their eyes.
If before the dark beast tide was like an unstoppable surging river, it now began to slow and leak.
As if trillions of tiny ants were gnawing at the dam, slowly but surely, it was starting to show signs of collapse.
"Then what do you think of the follow-up plan? Do you want to proceed?"
"Sure, why not? Isn’t it just some plane origin?"
"Much less Plane Origin, we’ll even be willing to use myriad energy to hasten the process."
As Overseers, they had already reached the peak of chaos that even myriad energy didn’t have much use to them now.
"Just proceed with your plan. Ask us anything you want."
"It’s good." Maximus smiled, seeing all the Overlords agree with his plan.
His goal was none other than to turn every tier 11 Dimensional Emperor into a full-fledged Overlord.
After all, like landlubbers in deep waters, they couldn’t survive in the chaotic void for long.
Not wanting to waste such a large number of powerhouses, Maximus planned to artificially boost them to the Overlord Realm.
This artificial boost wouldn’t use the Ring of Origin he created before, but the Tower of Chaos!
One function of this tower was to artificially boost a mortal into an Overlord powerhouse!
Of course, this boost applied only to energy, power, soul, physical strength, and origin.
Skills, experience, combat ability, control of elements, laws, origins, and paths of law were out of the equation.
Essentially, it would create an alternative version of a dark beast with nothing but raw power.
However, although their foundation wasn’t as strong, they could still learn and make up for it.
The only problem with this plan was the massive amount of plane origin they would need.
To advance from a tier 11 Dimensional Emperor to a tier 12 Overlord, they would require a hundred times more energy than natural advancement.
Furthermore, and most importantly, he needed the paths of all the Archons to be input into the Tower of Chaos.
"Are you sure this is needed?" they frowned, hearing Maximus’ requirements.
Their Archon of Law was their lifelong experience and foundation.
Putting it in another person’s hands was no different from giving away all they had learned.
Although it wouldn’t affect their strength or endanger their lives, entrusting their Archon of Law to another individual didn’t sit right with them.
"This is important. Although I could use my Archon of Law as an anchor to help the others advance, it wouldn’t be enough."
"There are myriad paths in the world, but mine alone can’t accommodate everyone," Maximus said sincerely.
However, in his heart, he harboured another intention.
There are indeed myriad paths in chaos, but his path could certainly accommodate every one of them!
Having advanced and refined all the paths in the Aeon Plane, his Archon of Law already had the capability to accommodate anything.
However, because it lacked enough catalyst, it still hadn’t evolved into the final form Maximus envisioned.
It still contained mostly knowledge, so much so that one might mistake it for the path of knowledge or omniscience.
To complete its evolution and transform into the Path of Maxim, containing everything and anything, Maximus coveted the paths these Archons had conceived.
Taking his shot, he waited as they frowned, unable to decide.
"This is for the Planar Chaos Region. Since you’re already so strong, why worry that others would learn about your entire experience and skills?" Maximus pushed forward.
Anyway, he would only copy their Archon of Law, not devour it.
Moreover, as he said, it would be an essential anchor for the Tower of Chaos to evolve.
With the ability to forcibly advance Dimensional Emperors to Overlords, they could earn more myriad energy and wipe out more dark beasts.
Overall, it wasn’t like he was the only one benefiting from the trade.
"Fine, we’ll go with your plan. Just make sure you don’t forget our share of myriad energy."
"Don’t worry, I’ll reserve 50% of the harvest for you. You can take it anytime," Maximus smiled.
Having invested their energy, manpower, and now their Archon of Law, how could he shortchange them on the profits?
"Good. Then call us when there’s a new development. We’ll hand over our Archon of Law after you’re finished on your end."
"Hmm, I’ll call you soon..."
The Tower of Chaos was only partially built; it wasn’t fully finished.
Although it could already take their Archon of Law, it wouldn’t have any use without the supporting facilities.
