Chapter 295 Valoros: The Battle Sage
?"Little nerd?"
Maximus became curious upon hearing the name Malgron had mentioned.
Although he already knew that there was a hidden powerhouse in the Cursed Continent, he didn't know who.
All the histories he read were, after all, not entirely thorough and quite varied.
"Hahaha, it's Valoros, the brain of the former Nexus continent," Malgron laughed as he reminisced.
Valoros was really a nerd in Malgron's opinion.
Besides studying new knowledge and experimenting, Valoros didn't fight much.
If the Nexus was not a battle continent, maybe Valoros wouldn't even bother to fight.
"So it is!" Maximus nodded in understanding.
It seems that his guess was right.
The only one in the history of the Nexus continent capable of creating the amalgamation of will is Valoros, the battle sage.
"But play? What are you talking about."
"It's the one you are fighting for, the Era of Imperial Domination!" Malgron said, looking at the amalgamation of will that was on Maximus.
Through the years Malgron had spent in the Abyss, he had not been so outdated.
Listening to those strongholds had let him know all the major trends.
It's because it's been a while since he last returned to civilization that he was surprised at the change Maximus caused.
Malgron had heard about the Amalgamation of Will a long time ago.
He even met with some of the Holy Emperors who ruled over the Curse Continent at some time.
Meeting them, Malgron can only say that Valoros picked some good experimental subjects.
"Did you mean Sage Valoros did this because of a conspiracy?"
"It's not that deep, it should just be a little experiment," Malgron said, sharing his guess.
Malgron knew Valoros well.
The Amalgamation of will, the main subject of his experiment, should be to create the strongest being capable of defeating him.
This little brat had been obsessed with defeating him since they came to know each other.
As the strongest being in the Etherium realm, Valoros took it as a challenge to create something stronger and beat him.
Unfortunately for him, the Amalgamation of Will is not kind of big deal.
At the highest, it only reached the same power as the essence of law.
Although it had some capabilities as the Origin of Law, its chaotic energy is nigh impossible to solve.
This caused those who mastered it, to fall into a bottleneck, never advancing to tier 9.
Malgron can only hope Maximus can make the impossible and reach the apex.
He wanted to see if Valoros could finally create something that could defeat him.
"Experiment?" Hearing Malgron's guess, Maximus's lips twitched.
An energy comparable to the essence of law was a mere experiment?
It's like someone invented an energy comparable to electricity that could revolutionize the world.
Maybe if it were not for the limit of the Etherium realm, Valoros could even create an energy comparable to the Origin of Law.
"Did Sage Valoros have a unique physique or something?" Maximus asked.
"No, hahaha, that's the best part."
"That little nerd's physique is only a mortal one."
"I heard that his physique is something useless like he didn't need to sleep or something."
"A mortal physique?!" Maximus muttered in shock.
What's the concept of having a mortal physique and becoming one of the strongest individuals in history?
Basically, only the gods, who relied on absorbing god's authority, can advance to tier 9 even with a mortal physique.
After they arrive in the abyss, regaining their peak power should be easy.
"Leave it to me..."
...
After settling things with Malgron, Maximus went to his guild and called Silas and Andrew.
"You called, guild leader?" Andrew asked.
Silas, on the other hand, just nodded to him.
"I'm returning to the Etherium realm; I'll leave everything to you here," Maximus said.
He hoped they would help their son, Liam, manage the guild here.
After all, his son is a bit green and may not be able to handle all the work.
"So soon?" Andrew was a little shocked.
He thought Maximus would stay here for a while longer.
However, it seems that his guild leader had something important to do.
"It's the empire; the war there was already beginning to be intense," Maximus explained.
"Is that so..." Andrew nodded in understanding.
For him, the Moonlight Empire is already part of the guild.
Hearing that it was in danger, it was only appropriate for the guild leader to go back.
"Do you have any questions?"
"No," Andrew answered.
Maximus has always been a hands-on keeper, so Andrew was already used to it.
As for Silas, he just shook his head.
His routine had long been established.
Whether Maximus was here or not, it would not change.
"That's good."
...
A few years later.
In the Etherium Sanctuary, Dimensional Teleportation array.
Maximus was with his family as they prepared to return to the Etherium realm.
Around them were also individuals who had advanced to tier 8 and wanted to go back to their homes.
They didn't want to stay here any longer.
Although the profits in the Abyss are rich, it's not bearable for many.
Furthermore, after advancing, they needed a quiet place for seclusion to master the power of law.
"Have you got everything?" Maximus asked if they had forgotten something.
"No, we have everything..."
They didn't have much baggage except for some supplies, so packing was quite easy.
As for missing those who stayed here, they already said goodbye.
According to Maximus, they would return here shortly after.
Maximus just needed to settle everything in the Etherium realm for a while and they would return.
...
In another place, Rakasha, who was quietly meditating, noticed Maximus in the Dimensional Teleportation array.
"Already returning?" Rakasha muttered in interest.
Rakasha thought Maximus would settle here and accumulate for a while.
Who knew he was so eager to return?
He wondered what chaos Maximus would cause in the Etherium realm.
Having a connection with a powerful dimension, the Etherium realm would surely undergo massive changes.
"Tsk, tsk, how exciting..."
