While reviewing the changes in the Myriad World Mall.
Maximus observed the resurrected apex sovereigns and see how they were doing in the Empire.
Decades prior, as soon as he conquered the Curse Continent.
Maximus initiated the revival of these powerhouses.
The abyss would invade in just a few hundred years.
To delay its advance, Malgron needed to sow chaos in the abyss and disrupt their plan.
To make it easier, Malgron requested the assistance of his past comrades.
Although Maximus doubted Malgron’s true intention, he readily agreed.
After several decades of gestation and regaining their memories, it appeared they were doing quite well.
Initially, he could directly awaken their memories.
However, with such powerhouses under his roof, Maximus couldn’t bear not to utilize them.
Once they regained their peak power, the amalgamation of will they generated would be equivalent to hundreds of Monarch level Abyss Source.
Moreover, as a citizen of the Moonlight Empire, they couldn’t simply turn a blind eye if something were to happen to it, right?
The power of childhood memories is long-lasting; no matter how ancient, they remain nostalgic.
Even Maximus still vividly remembered his past life memories as a child, let alone these Apex Sovereigns.
Seeing that they were assimilating well with the empire, Maximus smiled.
“I will take you to the abyss later…”
It was too early to send them there.
Maximus still had much to do.
More importantly, it was time to upgrade his physique.
[Dimensional Source: 0/1 sextillion]
With a quintillion every day, it would only take him a few years, and he would have unlimited power of law.
Although he possessed an amalgamation of will that nearly made his power of law inexhaustible, having a conceptual infinity was still a plus.
With his experiment into the device that could directly extract energy from him at the source.
He could also create a weapon utilizing his power of law.
Imagining millions of weapons attacking with his full power at once excited him.
At that point, Maximus would no longer need to rely on expensive tier 10 items and could combat a tier 9 apex sovereign alone.
He also needed to upgrade the empire’s token system.
Since the Moonlight Empire plans to open to the outside world soon, updating the token system was imperative.
Furthermore, to accommodate other apps created by those companies, a mere jade token wouldn’t suffice.
The processing capacity of such a token would crash once millions of small apps were uploaded to it.
Currently, they were still conceptualizing their little games, affording him plenty of time.
…
Ten years later, Maximus quietly admired his work, feeling its power.
“The Orb of Destruction… how domineering.”
A million units of power of law concentrated in a small ball; Maximus doubted if an apex sovereign could even survive being struck by this thing.
Years ago, after he upgraded his physique, his power of law became unlimited as expected.
[Dimensional Source (Tier 10)]
Unfortunately, not seeing points beside it, Maximus was a little disappointed.
Although he already knew that the system limit was tier 10.
Seeing that it could no longer upgrade his physique further disappointed him.
His system was a fragment of a tier 12 treasure, barely reaching tier 11.
To manipulate knowledge and all kinds of things up to tier 10 was already good.
He can’t ask it further than its ability.
He could only be thankful that he even possessed such a system.
In the future, it would be up to his hard work to advance.
Fortunately, he had already found his path.
With power and wealth, Maximus didn’t believe that anything could stop him from reaching the top.
Having unlimited power of law, Maximus felt itchy and went to create a weapon to utilize it.
Unfortunately, to utilize the power of law, a mere tier 9 expanding item like the Atomic God Metal was not enough.
Even uniting the components of various tier 10 items would get destroyed easily after a few uses.
Not having the time and enough money to continue such experiments, Maximus pursued another path.
Maximus created an item that could store his power of law in large quantities without getting destroyed.
After a decade, he finally created the Orb of Destruction.
This device could store up to a million units of power of law, boosting an immense power.
The only problem was that it couldn’t directly draw mana from his source.
Maximus needed to manually load it with his power of law, thus slowing the process.
At his current discharge speed of power of law, he could create 10 of Orb od Destruction every day, which is over three thousand every year.
Although Maximus hadn’t tested its power, feeling the energy within it.
He estimated that one Orb of Destruction is equivalent to the full attack power of an apex sovereign.
There’s also the Orb of Destruction 2.0, made mainly of tier 10 materials, capable of storing a billion units of power of law. The most update n0vels are published on ovl_Fir.et
Its destructive power is comparable to a full attack of an ancient apex sovereign like Dean Fealan and those peak apex sovereign.
Unfortunately, it’s costly; just one of them cost him a quintillion dimensional coins.
Compared to the other, which is dirt cheap, costing him a trillion dimensional coins for one, Orb of Destruction 2.0 is not so cost-effective.
He only had about 10 quintillion income in his shops yearly.
Coupled with the few quintillions he earned from reselling items to the Etherium realm, Maximus could only create 10 of Orb of Destruction 2.0 a year if he insisted.
However, having the power comparable to the peak apex sovereigns, such a means is still necessary.
After tabulating all his harvest, Maximus looked at the revived apex sovereigns in his empire.
…
In the Virtual World, Codexia, Draven was quietly inspecting his workshop.
“Guild leader, the Yttrium Gold is running out of supply,”
“Hmm? Running out already?”
“Our members were quite diligent; furthermore, the swords made of Yttrium Gold were quite popular.”
“Popular? I remember that swords made of Yttrium Gold are only good for insects. What happened?”
“It’s the Insect Guild, leader. I heard they spawned insect monsters everywhere, almost filling our area.”
“Don’t those insects cost anything?”
“No, apparently, their guild leader is a tier 6 in real life.”
“Having such a huge soul energy, he managed to inscribe a tier 3 insect solo.”
“No wonder…” Draven frowned.
After decades of playing the game, Draven accumulated many solo-inscribed items, making them free.
Having leveled up to over three hundred and possessing over three hundred free items, he was as rich as he could be.
In real life, he also managed to reach tier 5 without any problem.
Wanting to earn more money, Draven formed a workshop guild.
As for the Insect Guild, it was an emerging guild of lunatics.
Their professions were not something decent, like insect master, slime master, slug master, etc.
They spawned monsters, causing chaos in the Codexia world.
Dying in this world came with heavy punishment.
Aside from leveling down, you would also lose all progress on your current inscription task.
One had to know that leveling up in this world is insanely difficult.
From 0-100, it could take a few months to a few years just to level up.
As for 101-200, it could take a few years at minimum.
As for mortals, they could only wish to advance after reaching tier 1 in real life.
The soul energy needed for these levels is not something a mortal could come up with.
As for 201-300, it could take decades just for a level up.
Even Draven, with the cheat of inexhaustible soul energy, was only over level 300.
In real life, he was already tier 5, yet was only over level 300 in this virtual world, proving the difficulty of leveling up.
As for the Insect Guild, causing chaos had its merits.
For every one they killed, they earned coins, progress, and items at a certain percentage.
It can be said that killing people is more profitable than mindlessly grinding and doing inscription tasks.
As for the other players, the chaos they caused also benefited them somehow.
Like the surge in sales of his weapons.
Draven could be said to be earning dozens of times his normal income during this wave of chaos.
There were also coins spawned by these monsters.
Unlike the previous horned rabbit, killing these monsters was hundreds to thousands of times more profitable.
There were also items that could be dissected from these monsters, which was a huge profit.
While Draven was instructing his guild members on the following task, a notification tab appeared in front of him.
[Draven Hammer,
By the decree of His Majesty, you are summoned to present yourself at the Imperial City immediately.
Your presence is requested to address matters of significant importance to the realm.
Your dutiful attendance is both expected and required, as your expertise and counsel are deemed invaluable in the deliberations to ensue.
With utmost respect and anticipation,
Chief Minister Doran]
“What is this?”
