Chapter 493: Killing The Enemy

A few years later, after taking a vacation in the Etherium Realm, his children returned to their lives.

Having reached the Tier 10 realm, they had to complete various missions outside their sect's dimension.

With the Tier 11 Protector by their side, Maximus didn't worry about their safety.

However, some of his children still remained at home.

Max and Ella wanted to have another child. Finding the Etherium Realm to be the perfect place, they extended their vacation for hundreds of years.

Joining them were Nathan and the others from the Ashura Sect.

Their killing intent had grown too intense and uncontrollable, which could cause problems in the long run.

Alongside them were Neo and Aria, wanting to take care of Ethan who was still too young.

Though the two were lazy, they didn't want their son to grow up parentless and without their guidance.

Thus, despite the pressure from their sect, they decided to stay in the Etherium Realm.

Meanwhile, Maximus turned his attention to the Blood Ragnarok Realm.

This was a ticking time bomb; if he didn't solve it soon, it could cause more casualties than he could handle.

After saying goodbye to his wives and children, Maximus headed to the Blood Ragnarok Realm with Fealan.

Blood Ragnarok Realm:

Entering the void portal, Maximus stepped into one of the outposts of the Etherium Realm.

The area was protected by a Tier 10 barrier array, shielding it from enemies and the dimension's suppression.

"Is this another form of divine energy? How interesting."

Unlike other divine energies, where believers produce it and gods absorb it, here all creatures—whether animals, mortals, or even peak powerhouses—produced divine energy.

However, instead of being absorbed by a single individual, it was dispersed across the world for everyone to absorb.

Studying this unique divine system, Maximus thought about the advancement path of the Amalgamation of Will.

The Amalgamation of Will is currently a tier 9 energy system.

Its crystallization only increased its power and concentration, but it hadn't elevated it to a higher energy tier.

Now that he was in the Tier 10 realm, he planned to deduce a higher form of the Amalgamation of Will.

Perhaps, if it became a Tier 10 energy system, the causality of power it could produce would also increase.

While talking to Fealan as they explored the Blood Ragnarok Realm, Maximus noticed that the ordinary people there were still living peacefully.

Some had even integrated with the people of the Etherium Realm, forming a society.

When Maximus asked Fealan about this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Viewing the Blood Ragnarok Realm as already under their control, Fealan and the others planned to maximize their profit.

From plants, trees, rocks, animals, to even the population, they wanted to keep everything.

Aside from the Tier 10 powerhouses and a few stubborn Tier 9 individuals, they didn't kill anyone indiscriminately.

They even provided supplies and knowledge to keep the population in check.

Because of this, majority of the people in the Blood Ragnarok Realm were ready to surrender.

Unfortunately, without the approval of their dimensional master, it was just a wishful thinking.

"However, without the dimensional master, the majority can decide," Maximus muttered excitedly.

A mutated origin energy, carrying the force of a hundred trillion of magnitude of power, left Gregor unable to even move.

Boom!

The attack ripped through the space node, continuing forward and tearing a hole in the Blood Ragnarok Realm.

The blast seemed to signal the end, halting the fierce battles between the two sides.

No matter how strong they were, in the face of such power, they were mere ants.

Unsure which side the assailant belonged to, they hovered in the air, awaiting their fate.

Perhaps only Fealan knew that it was Maximus who just arrived in the Blood Ragnarok Realm.

"How powerful. As expected of the man chosen by my daughter!" Fealan thought, standing proudly as if he had been the one to make the impressive display.

Meanwhile, having eliminated the interference, Maximus turned his attention to Grimnir.

Impaled by a broken Tier 12 treasure and corroded by the causality of power, Grimnir was barely conscious.

Just as Maximus was about to finish him off, his system stirred.

"Hmm? It can absorb this corrupt causality of power?" Maximus muttered in shock.

He thought his system could only absorb pure causality of power, but it seemed it could also collect the corrupt kind.

Urging his system, it absorbed the corrupt causality of power from Grimnir's body.

Without the corruption of causality of power, Grimnir slowly regained his consciousness.

"Who are you— Arrgh!" Before Grimnir could finish speaking, a bright light greeted him, ending his life.

Maximus didn't care about such an insignificant being and began studying the causality of power absorbed by the system.

[Causality Points: 1.024 Million]

[Corrupt Causality Points: 3,621]

"It can really absorb corrupt causality of power!"

Unlike pure causality of power, which can be used for cultivation, corrupt causality of power is laced with malice and destruction.

This energy is commonly found on battlefields, in relics, and abandoned dimensions.

It's a poisonous energy that even Tier 11 individuals who have mastered the River of Law keep their distance from.

"But what's the use of corrupt causality of power?"

Aside from attacking and destroying, Maximus couldn't think of any other way to use such poisonous energy.

Using the Seal of Truth, Maximus sat down to deduce the potential uses of corrupt causality of power.

As for the commotion caused by the death of the dimensional master of the Blood Ragnarok Realm, it no longer concerned him.

After thousands of epochs of deduction, singling out every possibility, Maximus' eyes lit up.

"Comprehension... no."

"Cultivation... no."

"Material for the liquid solution... no."

"Improvement for dimensions... no."

"Promotion of physique rank... yes."

"Promotion of physique grade... yes."
