Chapter 502: Void Tide

70 Years Later...

Inside 'Shadow', Maximus and his wives watched as the Void tide began.

"The void tide is here!"

"So much void pollution! How can others survive in this?"

They felt the Void pollution become dozens or even a hundred times more concentrated.

Even with their strength, they felt they couldn't stay in such an environment for long.

"As long as there's profit, even the most dangerous place is a paradise for many. Look, treasures are falling everywhere!"

Taking a look outside, they saw various materials, at least tier 10 in quality, surging like a tsunami in the distance.

This seemed to signal the start of a feast as the powerhouses in the 1438 Nullspire Foothold went wild.

"The Void tide is here! We're rich!"

"I didn't expect to encounter the void tide this soon. It seems my trip to the Endless Void Nullspire was just right!"

"Damn, such a massive amount of treasure; I wonder how much it would be worth If I get it all!"

"Stop dreaming, just collect what you can; it's enough to earn you tens of thousands of origin coins. If you're diligent, you might earn millions of origin coins."

"Hahaha, enough talking and start picking!"

While the outside descended into chaos, Maximus silently savored the points jumping in his system.

[+100... +128... +122... +108...]

Every second, at least a hundred causality points were being collected by his system.

"The void pollution spiked a hundredfold with just the void tide. It seems I could collect hundreds of billions of causality points this time!"

Soon, the outside grew chaotic as trillions of people began fighting over various treasures.

Although the minimum materials spewed by the void tide were tier 10, there were also many tier 11 and tier 12 scrap materials, which became the prime targets for most.

Getting one of them was worth thousands or even millions of origin coins.

"Husband, shall we go?"

"We'll earn a lot this time! It's raining money from the sky!"

"Husband, come on! Quit dilly-dallying; blessings are falling outside!"

"You don't have to worry about me. Go do your own thing. Just be careful; I don't want you getting hurt!"

"Alright, don't worry about us, Husband. We are strong!"

Indeed, the majority of people in the Nullspire Foothold were at the tier 10 realm.

Some tier 11 individuals didn't even have mastery of the River of Law.

As for his wives, unless they faced a master of the River of Law, they could escape unscathed.

Stepping outside, his wives, in disguise, began their looting spree, collecting at least tier 12 and complete tier 11 treasures.

This was a looting feast for the strong and the pity for the weak.

The strong chose treasures, while the weak could only gather scraps.

With the feast ongoing, Maximus suddenly noticed a mutated beast.

"Found you!" Killing the tier 10 mutated beast with his domain, another million corrupted causality points were absorbed by his system.

"This place is truly a paradise!"

[Family and Power System:

Host: Maximus Shadowcrest

Physique: Dimensional Source (Origin Grade: 0/Unknown) (Rank 11: 3.7 Billion/10 trillion)

Magnitude of Power: 1.7 Trillion

If he hadn't magnified it a hundred times, there was no way he could kill an opponent above his tier.

Sneaking behind with 'Shadow', Maximus gathered his power and released it to the ship's main weapon, Shadow Arc.

The Shadow Arc, made of a material similar to Phantom Overlord metal, could absorb and reflect an attack without loss and render it invisible without anyone noticing.

Singling out a tier 11 individual from the pack, Maximus amplified his power a hundredfold, channeled his attack into the main gun, and fired!

Boom!

Like an illusion of the void, the tier 11 opponent before him disappeared silently.

From the release of the attack to the death of the enemy, no one noticed a single thing.

Unless one is too close to witness the killing; the attack from the shadow arc seemed to make everything silent and invisible.

"A dozen more!"

Driven by his intent to keep the place conductive for treasure hunting, Maximus suppressed them with his power and sniped a few more tier 11 powerhouses.

By the time the Devourers realized what was happening, it was already too late.

At the Dimensional Alliance base, a surge of anger erupted.

"How dare you ambush us! You deserve to die!"

Although they didn't know why the enemy was too stupid to show up from afar, nothing else mattered anymore.

With the order from their base commander, they began to attack the enemy.

This time, they were particularly united.

Against the Devourers, regardless of their differences and rivalries, even in the face of profit, they had to stand together.

Otherwise, if they betrayed one another, the Dimensional Alliance wouldn't spare them.

As the battle raged, doubt appeared on their faces.

"Huh? What's going on? Why are the enemies weak?"

"They're usually stronger! Are they hiding something from us?"

"Maybe they just got lost and ended up here by coincidence?"

"No, maybe they have a different target and are just distracting us?"

"No matter what, just kill! We only have three years to collect treasures. We can't let these Devourers hinder us!"

"For the Dimensional Alliance, kill!"

With determination and a hunger for profit, they ruthlessly slaughtered every Devourer in their sights, whether void beast, Zerg, or even their own kind.

Meanwhile, Maximus sighed in relief.

"Fortunately, I'm here..."

Seeing everything was fine, he continued killing tier 10 mutated beasts.

He couldn't bear to let even one escape.

Every kill meant millions of causality points, worth more than he could have imagined in the past.

Soon after the battle, the 1438 Nullspire Foothold won with ease, continuing their treasure collection.

As for other strongholds in the Endless Void Nullrift, they weren't as lucky.

Besides a few that remained, most fell to the Devourers' ambush.

Maximus didn't care about this and continued his killing spree.

If he found a somewhat complete tier 12 treasure, he wouldn't let it slip by.

Maybe it could aid in the deduction of the River of Law, or it could be sold for money if not.

Finally, the three-year feast graciously ended.

"Huh~ What a harvest..."
