Chapter 207 Daily Life
Three Months Later, In Moonlight Empire:
In the Castle, Maximus was reviewing what had happened in the past few months.
It had been half a year since the sea beast tide began.
However, even now, the sea beasts were still ravaging the land.
Furthermore, due to the concentration of the amalgamation of will in his empire, the sea beast attacks had grown stronger.
Fortunately, over time, he had released more puppets, numbering over a hundred thousand.
These Tier 8 puppets, which had been downgraded to Tier 6, were already attracting a little attention.
After all an invincible tier 6 puppet was rare, and Maximus had over a hundred thousand of them.
Others asked him where he had acquired such powerful puppets, expressing their desire to buy similar ones.
Maximus simply replied that he had created them himself and that they were not for sale.
As for his people, they had already been evacuated to a safe location where they could be protected.
Although the sea beast tide was ongoing, peace had gradually returned to normal.
Furthermore, all the sea beasts that had been killed were sold in the arcane continent for profit, earning him a few trillion magic crystals each month.
Other empires also took advantage of this opportunity to make money by hunting sea beasts and acquiring new territories on the side.
After he finished reviewing the events in the past half a year, Maximus stretched his hands, ready to return to the City of Arcana.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in," Maximus called.
"I've come to see you, Your Majesty," Silver Atom, the dean of Moonlight Academy, greeted.
"What's the matter?" Maximus asked.
By now, the previous Silver Atom, who had been affected by defaulting contract and was downgraded to Tier 4, had returned to his peak strength.
Contracts are supervised by law, so it couldn't be removed without the intervention of similar law.
Thus, years ago, as soon as Maximus got money from selling books.
He had purchased a Tier 9 potion to eliminate the contract's backlash in Silver Atom's body.
Now, Silver Atom possessed the power of a 6th-tier being, making him the strongest in the empire.
"It's the graduation ceremony of Moonlight Academy, Your Majesty," Silver Atom informed.
"Oh, it has been over ten years since the establishment of the academy," Maximus recalled.
"Very well, I will attend the ceremony later," Maximus said, thinking that Silver Atom had come to invite him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Silver Atom expressed his gratitude.
"Um, Your Majesty, how about the rewards?" Silver Atom looked at Maximus with anticipation.
Being an irresponsible dean who often indulged in alcohol.
Silver Atom certainly didn't come to Maximus not just to invite him but also to claim the rewards he felt he deserved.
"Don't worry about the rewards for now; I will give them to you after the graduation ceremony," Maximus agreed but didn't promise an immediate reward.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. You are indeed the most generous ruler in the world," Silver Atom praised, his eyes lighting up.
"Alright, alright, just go. Remember to do a good job, your reward is based on your performance," Maximus advised.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty! Leave it to me!" Silver Atom assured.
...
In Arcana City:
After scheduling the graduation ceremony for a month later.
Maximus returned to his home.
Not finding his wives and children there, Maximus proceeded to his training chamber.
On his way, he noticed Skye still training vigorously without any regard for her safety.
Fortunately, Maximus had already created an item that could store personalized healing therapy for Skye.
Otherwise, he would have had to work tirelessly just to keep Skye alive.
Skye had already discarded her disguise.
Maximus informed her months ago that he had seen already through her disguise.
Surrounded by his wives and children, Maximus couldn't allow Skye to continue masquerading as a man.
In his mind, his family should only be surrounded by him, Maximus, the husband and father of the family.
Well, that's at least he thought of, he then told Skye to either remove her disguise or leave the house.
At first, Skye was a little shocked to know that Maximus had spotted her disguise.
After all, even a Tier 9 Apex Sovereign wouldn't be able to see through it without a deep inspection.
Maximus, of course, would not tell her about the system.
He just attributed it that he is sensitive the the physique of a woman.
Skye thought he was joking at first, but upon seeing Maximus' wives, she began to believe it.
Upon entering his training chamber, Maximus manipulated the array and disconnected his connection to the outside world.
He did all of this to prevent others from spying on him.
"Let's start..." Closing his eyes, Maximus began to meditate.
...
"Huh~"
Three hours later, his meditation ended.
Maximus didn't force himself to train, requiring only a minimum of three hours of meditation per day.
After meditation, Maximus opened his system and purchased a multitude of knowledge.
From mechanics, techniques, spells, cultivation manuals, and more.
He then used the billions of system life points he had earned for the day, to quickly master this knowledge.
His billions of life points came from his wives, the amalgamation of will, and the abyss source.
Maximus' daily progress could be compared to almost 10 million years a day.
The time dilation that could only go up to a million times is insignificant in comparison.
With these achievements, Maximus could proudly claim that when it came to lower tier, there was no one more knowledgeable than him in all dimensions.
Of course, this referred to the depth of knowledge he possessed, not the variety of it.
After all, Maximus primarily focused on mechanics and knowledge to enhance his training.
...
After finishing his meditation and absorbing knowledge, he headed to his laboratory.
There, various exquisite and advanced instruments from all dimensions were neatly arranged.
If anyone were to see it, they would be envious, as even an Apex Sovereign would desire some of these instruments.
Maximus had invested quadrillions of magic crystals in this laboratory.
It included everything from simple printing machines to highly advanced engraving machines.
He didn't even hesitate to spend the fortune he saved to hopefully buy the ultimate treasures he needed to condense his Tier 5 foundation.
As for why did he go to such lengths to acquire all this?
The answer was simple; Maximus had too much wealth with nowhere else to spend it.
Whether it was for training or entertainment, just a few trillion was enough to cover his and his family's expenses.
His guild and empire generated their own value without requiring further investments.
Thus, Maximus had only two main needs: ultimate treasures and knowledge.
Knowledge wasn't too expensive, while the ultimate treasures were too costly that he considered shelving them for now.
With all this money lying, how can he let it rot in his system?
Thinking of that he didn't have any decent laboratory equipment.
He quickly used almost all his remaining money to buy a set for his satisfaction.
Now, using his laboratory, the micro surveillance bots shrank from 1 micrometer to 10 picometers, a hundred-thousand-fold difference.
While the information exchange capabilities of the micro surveillance bots remained the same.
All other aspects had been significantly upgraded, including their concealment, image clarity, stability, durability, etc.
By now, except for the top empires, there were micro surveillance bots spread all over the continent.
The current number of micro surveillance bots was still insufficient to be deployed within top empires.
Earlier when Maximus attempted it, the concentrated amalgamation of will perceive the micro surveillance boys as a foreign virus and eliminated it.
Maximus had no choice but to upgrade its capabilities before launching it to the top empires.
Soon, he began his work, trying what he had in mind.
Although he possessed the knowledge and had mastered it in theory, he still needed to carry it out personally.
Especially in delicate work, even a small change or step could result in the created item being vastly different.
...
After spending a few hours in the laboratory, he left his training chamber.
Now it was time to spar with Skye.
When he arrived at her training chamber, Skye was already suited up and ready for battle.
"This time, I will defeat you!" Skye declared seriously.
Even with countless reincarnations, Skye still couldn't beat Maximus in terms of skills.
Nourished by a wide array of fighting skills from various dimensions, Maximus had already become invincible in the same tier.
"You're daydreaming again," Maximus teased as he launched his attack.
With an abundance of World Origin energy, he no longer needed to fight in The Ancient Battlefields.
Agreeing to spar with Skye was simply a way to train his body to adapt to various changes in battle.
Again all the knowledge that he had is only in theory.
He could execute it precisely due to his fast thinking and perfect control over his body.
The shortcomings of this this is that he will be slowed down in desicive momments.
This happened when is opponent is equally strong.
Like Skye, athough he could predict her moves, he was still nearly defeated a few times.
Fighting with Skye allowed him to refine his fighting skills and ingrained it into his instincts.
...
After an hour of intense sparring, he exhaled heavily and ended the battle.
"Huh~"
"It seems you still have a long way to go before defeating me," Maximus teased.
"Just wait, I will defeat you someday," Skye vowed.
Following the battle, his wives and children returned.
After all, unlike him, a core student, his children and wives still had to attend classes.
At the dinner table, they discussed various activities from their day, from school events, training, entertainment, etc.
This daily meal served as a time for bonding, strengthening their relationships.
After dinner, the children went to their own rooms to do various activities.
Maximus and his wives also got to work on creating the next generation to continue his family bloodline.
Soon, a day passed, and a new one began.
