Chapter 874: Mass Producing Overlords
Soon, time began to pass as the Tower of Chaos slowly contained the Archons of Law and evolved.
During this period, attracted by the convergence of such intense energy, more and more dark beasts began to attack the Shadow Void Land.
Overwhelmed by the arrival of multiple origin dark beasts, the Overlords outside began to return to provide support.
Although they couldn’t defeat the origin dark beasts, they could still hold them back.
Facing their first all-out clash, the beings of the Planar Chaos Region were faintly suppressed.
Fortunately, with Maximus and the Overseers keeping watch, there weren’t too many casualties.

After tens of thousands of years, the Tower of Chaos finally completed its evolution, stabilizing the Archon of Law within it.
"It’s over..."
As the waves of energy calmed, the pursuit by the dark beasts also subsided.
Although the attacks continued, the origin dark beasts were less interested than before.
"It seems the black sigil isn’t coming this time," one of the Overseers concluded.
Not seeing those pests worse than the dark beasts, the Overseers felt unaccustomed for a while.
"Isn’t it better? The longer they delay, the stronger we’ll become," Maximus said with a smile.
With the evolution of the Tower of Chaos complete, they could finally initiate their plan.

Soon, after sending the notification to the Omnis, all tier 11 Dimensional Emperors were quickly hooked by the news.
"What?! There’s something that can rapidly elevate us to the Overlord Realm?!"
"This is awesome! It seems there are no side effects either!"
Throughout the epochs, methods to gain quick power were already prevalent.
Unfortunately, most involved overdrawing one’s potential or required rare treasures.
However, according to the announcement sent to the Omnis, as long as they had enough plane origin, they could advance to the Overlord Realm without long-term harm.
Aside from an unstable foundation due to sudden advancement and the lack of a corresponding path of law for support, it was no different from a true Overlord.
Given enough time, they could polish their foundation without any drawbacks!
"The only problem is that it’s expensive!"
"Tsk, this is already a hundred times what we’d usually need to advance!"
"Too blatant! Who could even afford to use this thing?"
Although they could earn plane origin steadily as construction workers in the Shadow Void Land, it would take billions of years to accumulate the required amount.
With such a long time, why not just advance on their own, saving 99% of the expenses?
As they grumbled, they saw a saving light at the end of the announcement, which detailed various loans they could take.
"Loans? We can take loans?!"
Being able to take a loan was a game-changer!
Even with the massive interest, as long as they advanced to the Overlord Realm, it wouldn’t take a million years to pay it back!
If they were braver and more skilled in combat, it wasn’t impossible to repay the loan in just a few thousand years.
With such a generous offer, the loan spots would surely run out sooner or later.
Not wasting another moment, they bolted toward the Tower of Chaos to apply.

In the Tower of Chaos, watching droves of tier 11 Dimensional Emperors enter, Maximus and the Overseers observed with excitement.
For every Dimensional Emperor that entered, an Overlord would emerge.
Although it required a massive amount of plane origin, draining their funds, it also hastened their efficiency to kill dark beasts and earn myriad energy.
"How many Overlords do you think we can produce before we run out of funds?" Maximus asked, curious about their reserves.
Although the Tower of Chaos could mass-produce Overlords, the cost wasn’t small.
"If this continues, we should be able to produce 45–50 trillion Overlords before running out of plane origin!"
"So many?!" Maximus was shocked.
Although vast, the Planar Chaos Region only had about 160 trillion Overlord powerhouses in total.
Adding nearly 30% more powerhouses out of thin air, even Maximus was amazed by the vast reserves of plane origin the Overseers possessed.
"Haha, this is nothing. Once the battlefield further stabilizes, we’ll see if we can increase the efficiency of converting chaos to plane origin."

Meanwhile, after advancing to the Overlord Realm, they couldn’t wait to dive into the battlefield.
Unfortunately, as they clicked on the map, they were reminded that they weren’t allowed in the core battlefield.
The places they could go were mostly filled with tier 11 and 12 dark beasts.
Seeing the limitation, a few daring ones couldn’t help but wail in frustration.
Initially, they had planned to team up with the veterans to quickly rack up money to pay their debts, but now they could only grind slowly at the edges.
The reason for this limit was their debt.
As long as they hadn’t fully paid, they could only hunt at the edges, fighting low-tier dark beasts.
Unable to complain, they headed to the battlefield and worked their way up.
Starting with tier 11 and tier 12 dark beasts, they slowly got used to their newfound power and picked up the speed.
---
Soon, tens of thousands of years passed, as the dark beasts began showing signs of being suppressed.
This wasn’t only because of the addition of more Overlords but also because everyone’s experience and proficiency in killing dark beasts had grown.
In particular, the addition of a few more Chaos Void Outposts was like adding tanks on the battlefield, punching a hole and tearing the cluster of dark beasts into shreds.

Meanwhile, at the Tower of Chaos, the unlimited loan service that allowed Dimensional Emperors to advance was no longer available.
Nearly all the Overseers’ reserves of plane origin had been spent.
Leaving some for the maintenance of the entire operation, they could no longer offer loans to others.
If someone wanted to use the Tower of Chaos’s services, they could only borrow from others or earn their way up in the Shadow Void Land.
Understanding the situation, the remaining Dimensional Emperors could only borrow from friends or work harder.
