After easily passing the trial of the Supreme Law of Destiny, the three Devourer Monsters arrived before the Mountain of Will.
Facing the trial that halts most trialists, the three showed no hesitation.
The Incarnation of the Abyss Will, Nyx, flowed through the mountain as if the oppressive pressure emanating from it was nonexistent.
If one looked closer, they would notice the mountain's Will twisting and rapidly corroding as Nyx approached.
"The Incarnation of the Abyss Will... I didn't expect he would also take this trial," the Supreme Law of Will muttered with a sigh.
The aura and corrosive power of Abyss Will were too overwhelming to bear the Will of the World.
Seeing him pass effortlessly through the trial, the Supreme Law of Will could only watch in silence.
The second to approach the trial was Sira, the Zerg Queen's clone.
Facing the Mountain of Will, Sira relied on what the Zerg excelled at, spawning countless Zerg to slowly whittle down the oppressive pressure radiating from the mountain.
With countless Zerg carrying the burden of will, Sira began her ascent leisurely as if taking a morning hike.
Next came Zar, the noble Void Prince.
As a void beast, Zar had only one defining trait: power.
With a mighty punch, he struck the Mountain of Will, sending rocks and mud flying in all directions, causing chaos.
Ordinarily, no amount of strength could destroy the Mountain of Will, much less its virtual form.
However, Zar possessed absolute power—the power to destroy and harm anything and anyone.
For him, the rules of the Aeon Plane were ineffective.
Even when faced with an Overlord, as long as Zar could attack indefinitely, he could kill them.
Seeing the Mountain of Will crushed to pieces, the Supreme Law of Will's expression darkened.
"Enough! You pass this trial!"
"Heh, why didn't you say so already? What a waste of time."
Walking leisurely, Zar arrived at the next trial.
However, unlike the previous trials where they passed with raw power and ability, this time when faced with the Trial of the Supreme Law of Origin, they paused.
The last trial was deliberately heightened—not only to select the most worthy candidate but also to prepare for the birth of a Plane Master!
What most failed to realize was that passing the final trial through conventional means would automatically qualify one to become a Plane Master.
With a Plane Master, the threat of the Dark Disaster would vanish.
The Aeon Plane could even seize the chance to advance to a Super Plane—a realm capable of birthing Tier 13 creatures!
Letting out a heavy sigh, the Supreme Law of Origin retreated to the Source of the Aeon Plane.
Aside from the three, no one else remotely worthy had attempted the trial.
Mulling over how to aid Maximus, the Supreme Law of Origin left the scene.
...
Meanwhile, in the Virtual Tower's treasure vault, Maximus turned, taking in his surroundings.
"Tsk, tsk! Over a hundred Tier 12 ultimate treasures! How rich!"
In the past, after passing the Tier 9 Virtual Trial, Maximus was only allowed to browse through a few dozen ultimate treasures.
Furthermore, most of those had been auxiliary.
Now, seeing a complete set of treasures—auxiliary, offensive, and defensive—Maximus felt euphoric.
"How many treasures can I take?"
Thinking of how he had passed the ultimate trial with added difficulty, he believed he should be entitled to at least two or three more ultimate treasures.
"Only one. This treasure vault doesn't belong to us but to the Dimensional Alliance. If you don't want to be hunted by the Overlords, you'd better not get greedy,"
"Then what about the strands of causality? I remember in the past, I was also rewarded with those."
During the Tier 9 Virtual Trial, Maximus had managed to absorb billions of strands of causality, which significantly enhanced his special physique and helped solidify his system.
Looking at the immobile treasure house, he felt puzzled.
"They were all used for the Selection Trial. Every last reserve strand of causality in this tower is gone."
Although the Supreme Laws had tapped into their reserves of causality, most of it had come from the Virtual Tower.
"Tsk." Clicking his tongue in disappointment, Maximus began browsing through the ultimate treasures.
