Chapter 167 Marriage

The next day, Maximus woke up in the embrace of beauties.

"Good morning~," Maximus muttered.

Looking at their beautiful and peaceful faces, he couldn't help but smile.

"This should be how it's done," he thought.

Thinking of his ascetic life, either fighting or training, he smiled wryly.

Wasn't he training just to see his family happy and at peace?

"I still need to train harder," Maximus vowed.

Times are always changing.

If he were to became complacent, maybe the next day, he wouldn't even see his family.

"Why are you frowning so early in the morning, husband?" Erica opened her eyes and gave him a kiss.

"I'm just thinking about our future."

"Don't worry too much; we are also here," Erica comforted.

The others also woke up comforting Maximus, showing their proud figures.

"Don't you notice something different from us, husband?"

Maximus looked at them carefully, trying to discern what change.

Except for becoming more beautiful and powerful, there seemed to be no change.

"Huh?" Maximus suddenly noticed how the mana interacted with them.

"You've upgraded your talent?"

"As expected of my husband, you notice quickly!"

"That's right. A month ago, we finally upgraded our talent to mythic rank."

"Even the kids are the same."

"I have to say, the origin drops you gave us are indeed effective."

They had taken the origin drops uninterrupted for five years before reaching mythic rank talent, from legendary talent.

After becoming a student at the Origin Arcana Institute, Maximus no longer hid these things.

Although the origin drop, which could upgrade talent, was rare, it was also available for purchase at the institute.

With his status, having a steady supply of it for his wives was not a problem.

"I'm glad I have you," Maximus smiled deeply.

"No, we were glad that we ever met you, husband."

Soon they engaged in a quick battle.

After that, Erica got up to prepare breakfast.

Although, with their current strength, there was no longer a need for food, they still ate at least two times a day.

It was good for training and laying the foundation.

Furthermore, what was the point of being strong if they couldn't even eat decently?

went on to do their own things.

Whether it was going on the Celestial Ascent Path to train their ...

After breakfast, his children proceeded to school, and his wives went on to do their own things.

Whether it was going on the Celestial Ascent Path to train their souls or studying in the Arcana Library, they had their own things to do.

Although they would have liked to spend more time with Maximus, they also had their duties.

Now in the manor, only Maximus, Emma, and Jane were left.

"Are you bored at home?" Maximus smiled.

Maximus wanted to relax today, so he didn't think about training or fighting.

"No, we're fine here," Emma said.

"How can we be bored in your mansion?" Jane rolled her eyes.

Maximus's manor was literally an entertainment park.

Due to various requests from his kids, his place was filled with all kinds of entertainment facilities.

Fortunately, as a core student, the plot of land assigned to him was almost the size of a big city.

"What about we play?" Maximus invited.

"What game?" Jane asked, feeling somewhat bored.

"You decide, but the loser has to do something for the winner," Maximus smiled wickedly.

"You just had a bad thought," Emma muttered. noVE-lb-In

"Fine!" Jane smiled and thought of something.

"How about we play Etherium Chess?" Jane suggested confidently.

"Etherium Chess?"

"It's a simple game. Here..." Emma briefly explained the rules of the game.

"Oh, it's quite simple."

It's roughly similar to chess but with more changes and variety.

"How is it? Are you ready?" Jane asked.

"Sure."

Soon, they clicked on a virtual application for Etherium Chess.

Apparently, it's a famous strategy game in the academy.

Although the game didn't have the blessing of the world's origin, it was still quite famous.

"This world is quite unique," Maximus muttered.

The world was pure white, with gigantic pieces all over the place.

It made the place solemn and majestic.

"How do we start?"

"Hehe, first, it will be you vs. the two of us."

"Second, you will only have one piece," Jane stated.

"Huh? That's impossible!" Emma exclaimed before Maximus.

This game had more than a thousand unique pieces

1 vs. 2 meant their pieces were double that of the opponent.

Yet, Maximus still had only one piece?

"Hey, we're here to win!" Jane patted her friend.

"What about it? Are you scared?" Jane provoked.

"Can I choose the piece?"

"Sure, take all the time you want," Jane said confidently.

With only one piece, it was impossible for Maximus to win.

"Hehe, it's only a matter of time before you bow down to us," Jane thought.

Looking at the confident Jane, Maximus just smiled.

As Etherium Chess was unique in this realm, he went to the Arcana Library for information.

From rules, historical match play, techniques, records, etc.

After choosing all that he could, he input it into his mind.

Using life points, he quickly mastered the game to transcendent mastery.

"I choose this!" Maximus pointed at the weakest, most inconspicuous piece.

"Are you sure?"

"Are you giving up?"

The piece that Maximus chose was just cannon fodder pawn.

"Let's see," Maximus smiled mysteriously.

"Hmph!"

Soon the three got into position and clicked to start the game.

[Game Start!]

With transcendent mastery, Maximus felt like he was bullying two newbies.

The original cannon fodder piece seemed like a slippery eel that was hard to catch.

It was cunning like a snake, striking down all of Emma and Jane's pieces into oblivion.

At last, it turned into a demon king, overlooking all the crushed pieces and the two disbelieving players.

"Impossible!"

"Is this still the same Etherium Chess I know?"

"Is he the god of Etherium Chess?!"

The passersby who had originally come to watch some fun were dumbfounded.

They saw the weakest pawn turn into a horrifying monster that devoured all the pieces as if it were nothing.

Before they could react and ask some questions.

Maximus dragged Emma and Jane out of their stupor and exited the game.

...

"Y-You!"

"You liar!"

"You told us you didn't know the game!"

"Hmph, a smelly liar!"

Jane and Emma complained endlessly.

Emma felt that she had been cheated out of her feelings.

She had been worrying earlier because their advantage was too significant.

Who knew they wouldn't even come close to defeating Maximus?

"Of course, it's impossible to defeat me," Maximus teased.

"You're just a liar!"

"How can I lie?"

"You cheated our feelings!"

"Cheated your feelings? How can I?"

"Hmph, you took advantage of us, yet you didn't dare admit it!"

They suddenly remembered something and blushed.

"Oh? There is indeed this thing."

"How about I marry you two as payment?"

"Hmph, it's not that easy!"

"You still want to cheat our feelings."

"Then how can I marry you two?"

"You need to pay by doing something for us."

"What is it?"

"Hehe, how about you be our maid for the entire day?"

They still remembered how Maximus had treated them, which had been very embarrassing.

"Sure!" Maximus smiled at how easy it was.

"Hehe, you also need to wear this," Jane took out a maid uniform.

"W-what's this?"

"You need to wear this," they teased.

This had been their plan if they defeated Maximus.

Unfortunately, Maximus had turned out to be a cheater.

They could only make him submit by promising with their bodies.

Later that day, his wives and children saw Maximus wearing the maid uniform.

When the boys laughed at Maximus.

They realized the meaning of the quote, 'Like father, like the son'.

Soon, the boys also wore girl's clothing which became their dark history after they had their own children.

Thus, a generation of tradition was passed on, requiring boys to wear girl clothing as long as they saw this peace of dark history.

...

A month later, in the Moonlight Empire:

An empire-wide celebration was being held as the emperor was getting married.

Various dignitaries from the Eryndor Empire came to congratulate them.

Despite some disagreements with Maximus in the beginning.

Thanks to their ongoing trade, which had helped them through difficulties, the Eryndor Empire was very grateful to Maximus.

There were also various envoys from different empires sending gifts.

They also took their time to investigate the empire.

"Tsk, tsk, what an ever-changing empire," they remarked.

Although they had planted spies all over the empire, the spread of information was not as fast as the empire's changes.

By now, there were already about 40 billion people in the Moonlight Empire.

While it was incomparable to the trillions of people in the top empires.

The growth rate of the Moonlight Empire's population still amazed them.

Other low and medium-strength empires also tried to adopt the Moonlight Empire's strategy for boosting their population.

Unfortunately, the high cost and settlement challenges thwarted their efforts.

There was even an empire that was erased due to a riot by its own citizens.

Now, unless they had absolute financial power, few dared to attempt what Maximus was doing.
