Chapter 381 The Mysterious Empress

Chapter 381 The Mysterious Empress

In the abyss core, protected by various abyssal arrays.

"Fortunately, I studied a little of the abyssal arrays..." Maximus muttered, seeing such a complicated array structure.

Knowing yourself and the enemy is essential to winning every fight.

In a few days, he used all the system points he received to study everything he could find about the abyss.

Abyssal arrays were one of them.

Using system points, he went from a novice to a Tier 9 abyssal array master in a matter of hours.

If not for the lack of time and information, he might have even become a Tier 10 abyssal array master.

With access to the Nexus Virtual Gateway, the knowledge he could freely access and buy reached Tier 10.

Except for some secret Tier 10 skills, he could buy everything with money.

As for Tier 11 knowledge, it's not something money alone can buy.

One needed to join a top organization or family to have access to this peak knowledge.

For example, in the Mercenary Alliance, once one reached the rank of S Squad, they would become eligible to exchange contribution points for Tier 11 knowledge.

This was the most easiest way Maximus found to access Tier 11 knowledge.

The Mercenary Alliance didn't have strict binding rules.

One just needed to complete missions and rank up.

Sighing at such a strict information monopoly, Maximus quickly analyzed the abyssal array barrier before him.

"Peak Tier 9 abyssal array? Not bad," Maximus nodded with a sigh of relief.

He thought it would be a Tier 10 abyssal array, fortunately, it was only Tier 9.

It seemed that the Abyss Monarchs didn't have enough skill or time to set up a higher-ranked array.

Instead of destroying the array, Maximus smoothly manipulated it, modifying it to his advantage.

After modification, it could not only contain the abyss monsters coming out but also hide everything that would happen inside.

After entering, the endless Tier 9 abyss monsters coming out of the portal looked at him.

"A human powerhouse!"

"It's the human who blocked us!"

"Human, die!"

"Die? Me? You wish..." Spreading his domain, he suppressed all the abyss monsters coming out of the portal.

"It's you who will die!"

Urging his domain, the pressure increased multiple fold, crushing the abyss monsters around.

"No Abyss Monarch?" Maximus muttered in puzzlement, seeing no resistance.

For him, killing a Tier 9 abyss monster could be done with just the pressure of his domain.

Containing the power of his origin, his domain was equivalent to a conceptual killer that nothing could survive.

Resurrection, skills, techniques, domain—none of it would function under his origin domain.

His domain essentially stopped the origin of everything within it.

While disappointed at such an easy fight, he felt a murderous gaze coming from the portal.

"An Abyss God?" Maximus muttered in shock.

He thought the abyss portal energy was only enough for a single Abyss God to come through.

He didn't expect another one would appear.

"However, it's no use...." Maximus thought, looking at the Abyss God with interest.

"The human Her Majesty, the Empress, wanted..."

"I didn't expect you would come directly to our door..." the Abyss God said coldly.

Huff!

Maximus breathed heavily as he stabilized his energy.

His attack was not just a simple combination of essences of law.

Maximus took all of its change, reaction, and frequency into consideration, perfectly combining it into one.

This was only possible by using his independent consciousness to calculate all the possibilities.

During the attack, millions of epochs of information needed to be processed just for the attack to successfully form.

Furthermore, to ensure that the attack wouldn't go to waste and hit the enemy, he also needed to calculate the state of the enemy.

Overall, in just a few milliseconds, tens of millions of epochs worth of information needed to be processed in his consciousness.

Although he was already capable of comprehending a trillion epochs worth of information, that was spread throughout the day.

Every second, he could only comprehend a few million epochs of information at most.

Much less in a few milliseconds, where he could only process tens of thousands of epochs worth of information.

To condense a tens of millions of epochs worth of information into milliseconds caused huge damage to his consciousness.

Fortunately, the crystallized will protected his 'origin' like an iron wall.

Besides some sluggishness, and chaotic energy, everything was fine.

He just needed some time, and he eould come back to his full condition.

"It's not destroyed?" Suddenly, Maximus noticed that the portal made of eyes was undamaged.

His attack earlier, besides being directed at the abyss god, its main target was this weird portal.

Seeing the abyss god disintegrate to nothingness while this portal came out intact made him even more worried.

"What is this?" As he muttered, he suddenly heard a laugh that made his mind numb with pain.

Although indistinguishable to his ears, his consciousness processes it as laughter.

"Dangerous..."

Using his last strength and will, he conjured another attack, merging various Tier 10 treasures with the attack.

This few addition also burdened his mind with billions of epoch worth of information in just a few millisecond.

Boom!

An explosion a million times the magnitude of the earlier attack appeared.

This attack not only consumed his accumulation of Tier 10 treasures, but it also damaged his consciousness to a high degree, barely allowing him to think clearly.

As the smoke subsided, he looked at the portal to see the effect of his attack.

"This-"

Seeing his attack didn't completely destroy the weird portal, Maximus despaired.

If the crazy being behind the portal emerged, the Etherium Realm, his family, friends, his whole foundation would be gone.

"I-it's finished- NO!" Maximus, eyes widened erasing his despairing thought.

His thinking capability seemed to be impaired, as he was not someone to fall into despair easily.

"It's not finished yet!"

Not wanting to give up everything, Maximus began to burn his 'Origin.'

This gave his collapsing consciousness a new lease of life, providing fuel for another attack.

Forming his last-ditch attack, Maximus looked at the weird portal with determination.

"Kill...."

Along with his last attack, Maximus began to lose consciousness.

In his falling, he vaguely heard a few words of praise, as if saying, 'See you again, my beloved darling.'

"What the-"

With a fall, Maximus's consciousness went dark.
