Chapter 873: Tower of Chaos (2)
Soon, after over a hundred Archons of Law merged with the Tower of Chaos, it began to shoot up and grow.
Blending with the surrounding chaos, various chaotic phenomena began to emerge.
Turning into a whirlpool of chaos, every being and dark beast in the surrounding area quickly noticed the anomaly.
Especially the dark beasts, as if smelling the most fragrant meat, went wild, disregarding everything as they charged forward at full force.
Initially, only a branch of the Dark Beast Tide was heading toward them, but now various waves of enemies began to attack.
Countless hidden Origin Dark Beasts, biding their time, also emerged, determined to destroy this rising anomaly.
"Fortunately, we’re far from the Central Planar Chaos Region, otherwise..."
As if surviving a disaster by a hair’s breadth, everyone couldn’t help but pat their chests in relief.
If such a phenomenon drew the dark beasts directly to the Central Chaos Region, it would be catastrophic.
"Should I take the Shadow Void Land elsewhere?" Maximus asked with concern.
With just a leap, he could move the Shadow Void Land anywhere in the Planar Chaos Region.
"No need, this is fine. It’s the same whether they come now or later."
Even if they dodged this danger, it was only a matter of time before more dark beasts headed their way.
Coupled with the dark hands of the Black Sigil, things might grow even worse in the future.
Since that was the case, it was better to face everything at once, so they could earn more myriad energy and train more powerhouses as soon as possible.
"Since that’s the case, I’m at ease," Maximus said with a smile.
Now that everything was prepared, it was better to face this disaster before confronting the entire pack of dark beasts migrating through the chaos.
---
Soon, while they chatted, countless dark beasts arrived near the Shadow Void Land.
Curious about the defensive capabilities of the so-called ultimate architecture, they watched from the sidelines.
As if paper meeting a grinder, every dark beast that came close was torn to pieces.
With every inch of the Shadow Void Land bristling with firing turrets, the charging dark beasts were met with a storm of saturated fire.
Whether tier 11, tier 12, or even tier 13 dark beast, everyone was disintegrated, unable to get close to the Shadow Void Land.
"Amazing, so powerful!"
"If we had a few more of this architecture, how could we fear mere dark beasts?!"
"Haha, awesome! Should we place this killer in the heart of the Dark Beast Tide? We could slaughter every dark beast that comes!"
Like an eraser, any dark beast that touched the range of the Shadow Void Outpost was obliterated without pause.
If such a powerful weapon were placed in the middle of the battlefield, they could not only suppress the dark beasts but also harvest massive amounts of myriad energy.
Based on its efficiency, the Shadow Void Land’s killing power already reached one-tenth of all the combined Overlords.
This was even because, the quality of the dark beast varied.
If all the dark beast charging towards them was at tier 12 realm, the Shadow Void Land’s efficiency might even reach half that of the Overlords.
Meanwhile, hearing their fantasies, Maximus could only shake his head.
"It’s not that simple. The energy needed to kill these dark beasts is more than we can recycle."
"If we placed this in the middle of the battlefield, we’d be consuming plane energy for nothing instead of gaining it."
Although the dark beasts they killed could be converted into myriad energy, it would also rapidly deplete their reserve of Plane Origin.
The Shadow Void Land’s consumption rate was far too vast for their recovery to keep up.
"I see, then we’ll stay defensive for now..." The Overseers and Archons nodded in agreement.
However, deep in their minds, they vowed to invest more attention in boosting their Planar Chaos Region generation of plane origin.
From nurturing those with physiques like the Plane Source, to seeking unique treasures like chaos grass, or creating special devices.
Once they had enough Plane Origin, they might even arm the Chaos Void Outpost with similar weapons to harvest the dark beasts.
Soon, as they devised a plan, a few Origin Dark Beasts arrived.
Facing the firepower of the Shadow Void Land, they stood firm, advancing as if untouched by the barrage.
"This one seems immune to the damage. You’ll have to handle it," Maximus said with a wry smile.
The Shadow Void Land could easily kill a tier 13 beast because its firepower could pierce their defenses.
Even if each shot dealt only a sliver of damage, with billions firing simultaneously, a tier 13 dark beast could easily be disintegrated.
But for these tier 13 Origin Dark Beasts, the Shadow Void Land’s attacks were like rain, harmless and ineffective.
"Leave it to us..."
As the Origin Dark Beasts drew closer, several Archons shot forward, pinning them down.
With dozens of Archons ganging up, it took only moments to thoroughly destroy the enemy.
But just after they felled it, more Origin Dark Beasts arrived.
"Kill them quickly! More are coming!"
Detecting dozens of Origin Dark Beasts approaching, all the Archons sprang into action as they controlled hundreds of Chaos Void Outpost to fight.
Watching the battle from afar, Maximus and the Overseers watch in alert.
"Can they handle it?" Maximus asks in interest.
If dozens of Origin Dark Beasts were enough to make them serious, hundreds could mean a life-or-death struggle.
"Don’t worry, we’re here. If they can’t manage, we, the Overseers are ready. And if even we can’t handle it, there’s still you. We could retreat immediately," an Overseer reassured.
As long as they didn’t face thousands of Origin Dark Beasts at once, they should be fine.
Still, despite their confidence, they remained vigilant, ready to reinforce the others at a moment’s notice.
The loss of even one Archon would be catastrophic, not just for their combat strength but for morale.
"These Origin Dark Beasts are truly formidable..." Seeing no immediate need for aid, Maximus held back and continued guarding the Tower of Chaos.
Though it was unlikely to fail its evolution, they still had to look out for the Black Sigil lurking in the dark.
"I hope everything will be fine..."
