?”Do you know why we, weak individuals, can come here in the abyss?”
“Because there are more outposts in the abyss and a lack of manpower?” One of them guessed.
“That’s right!”
“In the past, there were too few outposts, so it would have been a waste of space to have us here.”
“But now, because there are over a hundred thousand additional outposts, there is a lack of manpower.”
These outposts can’t gather resources themselves.
Even with all kinds of puppets and automated arrays, manpower is still needed.
Having these tier 6 individuals who had nothing to do in the Etherium realm work here is perfect.
“Don’t tell me that your guild leader is the one responsible for the hundred thousand additional outposts?”
Although they had heard their bragging about their guild leader earlier, they chose to ignore it.
After all, no matter how great an individual is, is it greater than those peak apex sovereigns?
Will it be stronger than Fealan, the dean of darkness, Readius, the God of Gods, or Alabaster, the Overlord of beasts?
There is even Malgron, the strongest being born in the history of the Etherium realm.
Even these great people can’t do anything to change the status quo in the abyss.
So how can a rising supernova that still hadn’t reached its peak have such strength?
“Hehe, that’s right,” the Shadow Hunter Guild member couldn’t help but raise their chest proudly.
“My guild leader has connections to a top-dimensional merchant, making all this possible.”
“Dimensional Merchant? Your guild leader has a connection with other dimensions?” They muttered in shock at the news.
So far, they have only seen outside dimensions in virtual worlds or books.
Hearing that someone is connected with top forces outside their dimension, they couldn’t help but be amazed.
At the same time, they also understand that it isn’t that their guild Leader, Maximus, was stronger than those peak sovereigns.
He was simply lucky to stumble with such a friendly force.
Nonetheless, they knew luck was nothing without enough strength, so they were still amazed.
…
After boasting more about their guild leader’s greatness, they proceeded with their task.
First, they needed to report to their guild to get assistance.
As Tier 6 individuals, without support, they were as helpless as lambs in this abyss.
Fortunately, there were support points set up by top forces to assist these helpless individuals.
For them, the Shadow Hunter Guild even personally prepared a starter kit that was different from others.
Entering one of the guild branches, they confirmed their entry into the abyss.
“This is the starter pack given by the guild,” a puppet said, handing them storage rings.
“Let’s see what the guild has for us.”
First is the teleportation talisman for emergencies.
This is a newly configured standard necessity for these newcomers.
In the past, such a teleportation talisman was impossible because of the distance between various outposts.
To teleport from one place to another, a whole teleportation array is needed.
Now, with the addition of outposts, outpost hubs, and shelter cabins close to each other, a teleportation talisman is possible.
The second item, also a standard starter pack, a map.
With the spread of micro surveillance bots in the Boundary and Central layer, a real-time map is possible.
As part of his guild, the Shadow Hunter Guild was given the most detailed map possible.
For others, it was only a rough map showing the outposts, shelters, and dangerous areas.
If it weren’t for the insistence and a little treat from the top forces in the abyss.
Maximus wouldn’t even give them access to this map.
Of course, as a profiteer, these maps had a subscription fee.
As for the third and last item, it is, of course, Ethereum coins.
As a rich guild, it can’t let its members come outside empty-handed.
Each was given a million Ethereum coins, enough for them to spend for a while.
“What a rich starter pack!” They exclaimed happily.
Earlier, they heard that others had only gotten a teleportation item, a map, and some protection items worth a few thousand Ethereum coins.
Most didn’t even have a starter pack and had to pay for them on loan.
Thinking of the greatness of their guild, they vowed not to disappoint the guild’s expectations.
…
10 years later,
As the years passed, casualties kept coming.
Even with the support of top forces, including teleportation talismans and the map, the weak remained weak.
The strength of Tier 6 individuals proved insufficient to withstand the intensity of those abyss monsters.
However, as time passed, they also grew accustomed to it, reducing the casualties.
Furthermore, the abyss seems to be consolidating its strength, resulting in fewer abyss waves than in the past.
Maximus and Malgron have been pondering this issue for a while.
After an investigation, bad news came out.
According to Malgron, it should be because of Maximus.
The unknown advancement of Maximus, his Ultimate Physique, was accidentally discovered.
With those abyss monarchs’ cunningness and fear of death, they should be frantically seeking reinforcement.
They should be consolidating their strength to gather energy for the dimensional teleportation array.
Fortunately, the energy required for such a massive task is enormous.
They estimated that it would take the abyss at least 100 years to gather enough energy.
That is, if they only intended to open a small dimensional teleportation array.
Coupled with the people of the Ethereum realm harvesting various resources in the abyss like locusts.
The efficiency of the abyss gathering energy should be further slowed down.
Maximus can only hope it to be as long as possible.
Now, he was still studying the Amalgamation of Will. The latest_ep_sodes are on_the ovl_Fir.et
He still didn’t have the time to study his system.
Fortunately, after a bit of tinkering, he confirmed that it was possible to study the system.
To be precise, it’s the Myriad World Mall.
The Myriad World Mall is just a sub-system of the transdimensional platform system, barely a Tier 11 item.
[Myriad World Mall: Initial (0/100 quintillion)]
Looking at the system points he needed, it might seem significant.
However, because he only needed to master it to Proficiency, he only needed 100 quintillion system points.
Making his shop incognito is simple and only requires a little manipulation.
Maximus only needed to understand the whole program of the Myriad World Mall system; with a bit of tinkering, he was good to go.
As for studying his system, ‘the family and power system,’ it is impossible.
The system’s creator seems to put various inscriptions on it, making it impossible to study.
Unless he forcefully took it apart and studied it on his own, there is nothing he can do.
However, even so, once Maximus has enough strength, he will forcibly tear this system apart.
As long as he aimed at the top, this would always be a hidden bomb waiting to explode.
Even if he lose his system in the process, he wouldn’t have any regrets.
At that time, he should be able to do everything he wants.
The power of the system should be almost obsolete at that point.
Even now, his system doesn’t function as it was supposed to.
The life and potential points he would have gotten for having wives and children were too little to make a difference.
In the past, it was his only source of system points.
Now, he has a more stable and renewable source of system points.
Like the Amalgamation of Will, abyss source, even high-level energy like the power of law can be converted to system points.
In the future, once he has unlimited power of law, it would be another source of his system points.
…
Five years later,
In the cultivation room, a surge of aura swept the outpost.
The initially dense aura in the Shadow Hunter outpost was being depleted rapidly.
“Huh? Broke through?” Maximus immediately noticed the commotion happening.
With the scan of his domain, he noticed Liam’s wife, Amara, beginning to break through.
“It’s indeed a former Apex Sovereign,” Maximus muttered in amazement.
“Eternal Voyager, consume the stored energy and put it in Cultivation room 31.”
[Eternal Voyager: As ordered, host.]
Eternal Voyager immediately consumed the magic crystal and crystal merits store and pumped it into cultivation room number 31.
The originally depleting mana in the outpost also stabilized.
“From now on, as long as someone is breaking through within the outpost, don’t worry about consuming the stored energy,” Maximus ordered.
[Eternal Voyager: I’ll take note, host!]
…
Soon, a few months passed, and another wave of energy began to sweep within the outpost.
“It’s Elysienne this time…”
As a new god, Elysienne needed to fully control her god’s authority to advance to a high god.
Usually, it would take an epoch for one to fully control their god’s authority.
However, Elysienne had ‘Origin’ to polish her foundation, which was forcibly raised by her authority.
Maximus also gave her quintillion of crystal merits as energy.
Within only a few decades, all of these resources made it possible for a god to fully control her authority.
Of course, the help of Liam, making Elysienne fully experience her god’s authority, made it possible.
Otherwise, no matter how solid her foundation or how many crystal merits she had.
It would be impossible to fully control her god’s authority of love.
By now, Elysienne should be the strongest beside him.
However, this was still in debate as his wives and children didn’t advance yet.
