"This—" Stay tuned to M V L
Feeling the power of an Absolute, Yumar's hand, which gripped the ultimate treasure, couldn't help but tremble.
The others also reacted as their gazes locked onto Maximus in sheer horror.
"What? Are you just going to stand there? Show me the strength of the so-called top powers of the Dimensional Alliance!"
Provoked by Maximus, they no longer hesitated.
Mobilizing their Oceans of Law, they prepared to fight him with their full strength.
Facing a foe comparable to an Absolute, their expressions turned solemn.
Although Maximus lacked the essence of an Absolute, he wielded the same terrifying power.
Looking at him, harmless as a lamb yet capable of instantly unleashing the might of an Absolute, they finally understood how their espionage team had been so effortlessly obliterated.
Forming a coordinated assault, they launched a sequence of attacks against Maximus.
Blocking and dodging their strikes, they saw the same helplessness that their espionage team must have felt.
Taking out their Ultimate Treasure, they mobilized all kinds of attacks and control, hoping to slow him down.
As the intensity of the attack increased, Maximus began to feel the pressure.
From the initial millionfold, Maximus had to go up to 10 million magnitude of power to withstand their attack.
"This can't go on..."
Even if he only activated such a magnitude for split seconds, the strain on his Core of Origin was immense.
If it had not been for Primordial Will continuously sealing the cracks in his core, he would have been overwhelmed long ago.
As the fight dragged on, Maximus, realizing he couldn't bring down Yumar—the strongest among them—turned his attention to the weakest link.
"It's you!"
Harid of the Farnyr Family felt a chill as Maximus's gaze fell upon him.
Seeing the incoming hail of attacks laced with strands of causality, Harid desperately raised his ultimate treasure to block.
Boom!
Thrown back by the impact, Harid's body felt on the verge of collapse.
His ultimate treasure, inferior in quality, was unable to fully withstand Maximus's strike.
Facing another attack, Harid quickly retreated to the safety of his allies.
Knowing they couldn't afford to lose anyone, the others quickly stepped in, redirecting Maximus's attention.
At this moment, only the supreme leaders of the opposing forces remained to face him.
The weakness Maximus had shown earlier now seemed like nothing but a clever facade.
Under the relentless hail of attacks, Maximus continued eliminating Masters of the Ocean of Law one after another.
Feeling the tide turning, fear crept into his enemies' hearts, and their attacks grew hesitant.
This hesitation proved fatal, as Maximus landed a critical blow, killing Hans, the supreme leader of the Farnyr Family.
"NO! This is impossible!"
Seeing the death of a powerhouse equal to themselves, the fear in their hearts began to crystallize.
However, among them, Yumar, Neil, Arnulfo, and Lise felt a premonition: Maximus was nearing his limit.
Trusting their intuition, they pushed through their fear.
Instead of succumbing to despair, they doubled down on their assault.
"This is bad..." Sensing their determination, Maximus' expression finally turned solemn.
He was already on his last stand.
If they refused to give up now, he would collapse.
"Can I only escape...?"
Maximus had already prepared for this worst-case scenario.
If he couldn't fend off his enemies, his family would escape aboard the Shadow Dimensional Void Ship, leaving everything else behind.
In times of desperation, survival was the only priority.
The Etherium Realm, the Maxim of Order, their source of path—everything can only be left at the mercy of the enemy.
Though his love for his homeland and legacy ran deep, nothing could outweigh the importance of his family's lives.
Signaling his family to prepare for evacuation, Maximus turned back toward his enemies for one final stand.
"Let me take my revenge in advance..."
As his mind filled with anger at the thought of what would happen to the Etherium Realm and the Source of Knowledge after his departure, Maximus resolved to unleash his ultimate power.
Channeling the last remnants of his strength, he prepared to unleash a billion magnitude of power to kill off a few more enemies.
But just as he was about to strike, a sudden rumbling in the void interrupted him.
The power of chaos began to surround the battlefield, encapsulating him and the Etherium realm, shielding them from danger.
"Master!" Malgron's voice rang out, filled with relief and excitement.
At last, his master had taken action.
