In an Unknown Dimension shrouded in chaotic energy.
A man slowly opened his eyes, sensing the abrupt disappearance of his clone’s connection.
“Hmm?”
“Valoros, the Etherium realm?” The man read the memory of the clone.
“The unification of dimensions, Malgron, the Amalgamation of will…”
“Three successful experiments, not bad.”
“Unfortunately, the clone died too quickly; the Amalgamation of will isn’t finished yet. What a pity,” the man frowned.
Spreading his clone in all dimensions, it can be said that this clone of his was one of the most efficient.
Three successful experiments in just one dimension? how efficient is that?
The Amalgamation of Will seemed to have some potential.
It’s a pity the clone died too quickly.
Looking at the man who had killed his clone, a hint of anger flickered within him.
Just as he was about to retaliate in anger, he suddenly felt a shift in the origin of law.
“Not now. Advancement to the Ultimate Realm takes priority…”
…
In the Etherium realm, on the Curse Continent,
Maximus felt excitement surge within him as he gazed at the forbidden forest ahead.
According to Valoros’ memories, this land was a veritable laboratory, filled with all kinds of lab equipment, experimental subjects, data, and more.
“Just right. It can replenish my expenditures!” Maximus muttered happily.
Dealing with Valoros wasn’t easy.
Though the battle was brief, the resources he expended nearly depleted his entire property.
If calculated, it could probably buy a complete tier 8 ultimate treasure set for his foundation.
Unfortunately, he had yet to find one for sale in the Myriad World Mall.
Maximus could only wait for it to be updated in the full version and explore other transdimensional platforms.
Flying across the continent-like land, Maximus scoured the entire place with his domain, which now spanned over a trillion kilometers in radius.
The continuous expansion of his domain even surpassed the range of his divine consciousness.
However, after reaching a trillion kilometers, it seemed that the expansion slowed down.
After all, the expansion was in radius, not in area; each meter was equivalent to trillions of kilometers.
…
A few days later,
After Maximus had turned the forbidden forest upside down, he looked at his harvest.
“Tsk, what a harvest,” Maximus muttered with a light in his eyes.
Valoros possessed the most advanced mechanic and alchemy apparatus Maximus had ever seen, even surpassing the tier 9 equipment he was proud of.
It had to be said that the foundation of an apex sovereign living this long isn’t something a nouveau riche like him can imagine.
This is still because Voloros live in seclusion.
In addition to the mechanic and alchemy apparatus, Valoros also had the largest collection of Athercore he had ever seen.
“A thousand tier 9 Aethercores…”
Aethercore was the most advanced supercomputer built using a combination of alchemy and mechanics.
They could effortlessly process a multitude of data.
Even Maximus’ empire had only one Aethercore, yet it could easily handle all the arrays, virtual apps, and miscellaneous tasks within the empire.
Looking at a thousand of them made him feel as though he had struck it rich.
Whether in the Etherium realm or the Myriad World Mall, these items were incredibly expensive.
By price alone, they were more expensive than dimensional treasures of the same grade.
“A thousand equivalent dimensional treasures? Hell yeah!”
“Just these could pay back my expenses,” Maximus thought.
Although Aethercores are only used to process data, they were treasure makers.
With a thousand Aethercores, one could simulate an epoch’s worth of information in seconds. Ths chapter is updatd by No(ᴠ)lFire.nt
Although not as fast as his system, they were controllable.
He could even let his people participate in some miracle-making projects.
“These will be the foundation of the empire from now on,” Maximus thought.
Manipulating the Aethercores, he searched for any experimental data within them.
Unfortunately, to his dismay, they seemed to have been cleared.
With the death of Valoros, all files self-destructed and corrupted.
Even after deep scanning, no files remained.
Carefully storing the Aethercores in his storage dimension, he looked at his remaining harvest.
Unlike the rest, it was only miscellaneous items without much value.
Like the remains of the ancients who first roamed the world.
Rare plants and minerals could be found in the Etherium realm.
Unique treasures created by the world.
Maximus didn’t pay much attention to them and put them all in his storage dimension.
Although other gadgets are a little interesting.
Compared to others, these things weren’t worth mentioning and could easily be bought in the Myriad World Mall.
“I guess the only valuable thing left is this Array,” Maximus muttered, looking at the dense, invisible array surrounding the forbidden forest.
Through exploration over the past few days, he had estimated that the area of the forbidden forest was at least 1000 light-years, much larger than most continental dimensions in the Arcane Continent.
To place an array in such a land would require massive manpower and materials.
Especially the time, it must’ve taken epochs for Valoros to surround this land with a formation array.
Even if he had unlimited manpower and materials, it would probably take him tens of thousands of years.
To have a ready-made array couldn’t make Maximus much happier.
It was equivalent to having a ready-made base.
Maximus decided to transfer his empire here.
After all, it was already destroyed, and only Moonshadow City remains.
Moving a city by hand should be easy for him.
After tabulating all his gains, Maximus teleported back to his empire.
…
In Moonshadow City:
“Huh? Is that His Majesty?”
“Did His Majesty come back?”
“Is the Emperor of the Westle Empire really dead?”
Although they already knew from various sources that the Emperor of the Westle Empire had died, they still didn’t dare to venture out of the city.
Who knew if it was a trap?
Thus, seeing their Emperor in the flesh, they couldn’t be more shaken.
The suffering they had endured for years seemed to dissipate as they witnessed the dawn of the empire.
Soon, the chanting of Maximus’ name rang throughout the city.
The voices of trillions of people echoed his name, venting all their suffering and grievances throughout the years.
Looking at the people chanting his name, Maximus smiled.
Signaling them to stop, Maximus opened his mouth.
“The people of the Moonlight Empire…”
“The war is over.”
“The war that caused us death and destruction.”
“The war that put us in misery and loss.”
“The war to declare the supreme sovereignty of this land.”
“This war is over.”
“The winner is us, the Moonlight Empire.”
“The people of the Moonlight Empire!”
“From now on, the Moonlight Empire shall reign supreme!”
With Maximus’ declaration, the Amalgamation of Will seemed to be agitated, as the people’s belief surged.
Seeing this, Maximus only smiled and quickly teleported to the Castle.
…
In the castle:
As Maximus appeared, Skyeand the others waiting for his arrival jumped for joy.
“Dad, you’ve returned!” Asha said happily, clinging to him.
“Grandpa!” Lila and Maya greeted.
“Maximus~,” Skye said, looking to see if Maximus was injured.
“How is the rest?”
“They’re already in stable condition,” Asha said.
“Hmm,”
Scanning inside, he saw his wives and children breathing evenly as they slept.
Isabella, Rose, Luna, Livia, and Jane, who fought and held back Khan, were still injured.
Even his children, Nathan, Sam, and Luke, were sleeping soundly.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but grit his teeth.
He should’ve at least tortured that bastard.
How dare he hurt his family?
Fortunately, it seemed that they were already stable.
Their bodies were already healing on their own.
If not for exhaustion and lack of energy, they would be able to get up like normal people.
On the other side were his wives, Hazel, Erica, Angeline, Irene, and Emma looked at them meticulously.
It seemed that Skye and the others didn’t tell them about his return.
Even Neo and the others who were managing the empire didn’t inform them of the news.
It seemed that they didn’t want to add further worry to their mothers.
Opening the door, there was shock in their eyes.
“H-husband?!”
“It’s me, I’m back,” Maximus smiled.
“Y-you! You’ve returned!” they shouted as they lunged into him and embraced him.
“Where have you been?”
“Why didn’t you tell us anything?”
“Are you injured?”
One by one, they asked questions endlessly, as if venting.
Soon after feeling his warmth, they calmed down.
“I’m sorry, I worried you…”
“As for the reason, it’s a long story; let’s talk about that later.”
“More importantly,” Maximus turned his head to the people sleeping on the beds.
Mobilizing his domain, he infused energy into them, bringing them back to their peak form.
“Argh…” Groaning, they slowly woke up.
“M-Maximus”
“Husband!”
“Father!”
As they woke up, they looked at him in shock and joy.
Feeling their bodies as good as new, they couldn’t help but leap, embracing Maximus.
Looking at their smiles, he heaved a sigh of relief.
“Everything is over; let’s take our time.”
