Chapter 281 The Strongest Being

Chapter 281 The Strongest Being

?Soon, a few months had passed.

Eternal Voyager scoured the purgatory layer, searching for Abyss Source.

In these few months, Eternal Voyager found thousands of tier 4 and 5 abyss source.

There were also hundreds of tier 6 abyss sources.

However, for tier 7, they still had yet to find any.

It seems that even in the Purgatory Layer, there is not much abyss source.

All in all, these abyss sources added about ten billion daily system points, which is simply not enough.

Fortunately, as the stronghold reached the source layer, the abyss source became more abundant.

As for the rare materials they came across, they were violently looted.

With ten million beings under his command, a resource lode can be excavated in an instant.

Conservation was unnecessary; the resource lode was directly dug to the roots.

Such a violent approach prevented the resource node from regenerating.

Maximus didn't care about this; although it was a waste, he didn't have time for conservation.

Such practice was normal on this kind of land where you would not know if you would still be alive the next day.

Only the resources near an outpost can be mined with conservation in mind.

After all, the continuous flow of resources is much more profitable and safe.

....

In the boundary of the source layer:

A disheveled man with a bare upper body was resting as he drank some wine.

Gulp~

"Tsk, this wine really hits the spot!" The man, Malgron, muttered.

"I should steal more from that flying fortress this time."

The Eternal Ruin Outpost, traveling from the boundary of the source layer, was Malgron's target. N♡vεlB¡n: Unleashing Imagination, One Read at a Time.

In the past epoch, his daily supplies, like food, drink, and clothes, were stolen from these strongholds.

However, Malgron didn't dare to meet them personally to avoid putting them in danger.

Once the abyss monarchs had known that Malgron had a connection to this stronghold, such a perfect resource point would be destroyed.

Where would he get his supplies then?

In the past, when he attempted to meet with his old buddies, they nearly died coming back.

They would probably have perished if not for his forceful maneuver and the will of the Etherium realm world's will.

As for going to lower layers where the Abyss monarch dared not venture, Malgron couldn't go there either.

With the complete control of the monarch over the abyss realm, they could forcibly destroy that part of the abyss and exile him from it.

Although it would significantly damage the abyss realm, given the monarch's hatred for him, it was highly possible.

Once outside that void, although Malgron can forcibly survive, he can't find his way to return.

Without the strength of tier 10, traveling in the void can only be achieved by a tier 10 ship or some other means.

While he couldn't do anything to the four monarchs together, they couldn't do anything to him either.

Malgron was still as free as a bird, fighting when he wanted and resting when he wanted.

Over countless epochs, Malgron didn't know how many abyss monsters he had killed, but it certainly weakened the abyss realm a little.

Otherwise, how could the fragile creatures of the Etherium realm stay and even thrive in the abyss?

With a quick scan, he noticed that the elemental law of metal that the man before him mastered seemed to be merged with all the laws of the Etherium realm.

"A genius?" Malgron concluded.

However, after he scanned the others, the results were the same.

"How in the world are there millions of geniuses here?!" Malgron felt the amalgamation of complete elements permeating every individual in the outpost.

This usually only happens when one has a complete cultivation manual or a heaven-defying understanding to forcibly create one.

In the Etherium realm, Malgron was confident that there should not be a few thousand who had this ability.

Yet here, millions were scattered like vegetables on the roadside.

"Did the Etherium Realm change this much while I was away?" Malgron wondered.

"Mister?" Kelvin asks again, seeing the barbarian in front of him in a daze.

"Ahem, I'm a friend of the owner here," Malgron lied without blinking an eye.

"Do you have any proof?" Kelvin asked, not believing what he said.

Such a stupid-looking barbarian shouldn't be a friend of the guild leader.

"Is this enough?" Malgron took out a Shadowcrest emblem.

"This— This is enough," Kelvin said respectfully, with his heart pounding in fear.

"Apologies for my misdemeanor."

Fortunately, he didn't act recklessly and asked respectfully.

"It's not a problem." Malgron waved his hand, not minding the little interrogation.

"As my apology, why don't I take you around?" Kelvin suggested.

This was equivalent to a gold pie falling into the sky.

Kelvin just needed to make a good impression, and just a tap of his guild leader's finger would make him rich.

"Lead the way," Malgron said gently as he waved his hand and cleaned himself.

...

On the other side of the stronghold:

Sam showed his new girlfriend around when he suddenly felt his family emblem disappear.

"What happened, dear?" the woman asked coquettishly.

"My family emblem suddenly vanished?" Sam said with a frown.

"Maybe you forgot it at your house," the woman reasoned.

"Impossible." Sam shook his head in denial.

"Then, should you tell your father about it?"

"Hmm..." Sam nodded seriously.

Although missing the family emblem was not a problem.

If it suddenly disappeared without his knowledge, then that's a problem.

"You wait here; I'll go to my father." Sam ruthlessly left the girl in the street and flew toward their family residence.

"Hey, what a ruthless man." The woman pouted, seeing Sam leave her alone.

Although she had heard that this man was a scumbag through and through.

She still wanted to try her luck and see if she could climb the ladder.

Unfortunately, seeing that scumbag's careless attitude, it seemed that he didn't have any luck.

Looking at the prosperous street in front of her and considering the abundant Etherium coins given by Sam.

She decided to forget it and let herself unwind for a while.

"Let's have some fun; let's see if that scumbag will give me more money later...."
