Chapter 247 Showing Some Strength
"You two be Sentinels who were given special status?" Yuso asked.
Maximus, who had read the description about Yuso's law, domain, and physique, also nodded.
"That's right, we just came to the Abyss Realm this year," Maximus said truthfully.
There is no hiding about these things.
Just a little inquiry and one could know a lot about their identities.
"You two are indeed freaks," Yuso's eyes lit up as he confirmed his guess.
No normal people would willingly go to the Eternal Ruin Outpost if they were not confident in their strength.
In such a place, the death rate of a normal individual is as high as 99.99 percent in just the first year.
"Since you two are beginners in the Eternal Abyss Outpost, why not join our squad?" Yuso asked.
Yuso's favorites are these geniuses who are confident in their strength.
"Oh? Are there any benefits?" Maximus asked.
A squad is a formal group formed by individuals besides guilds and organizations.
Although he was not planning to join such a squad, Maximus still respected the opportunity to make a connection.
It will be easier if he buys Abyss sources from them later.
"Once you join us, your safety and interests will be bound to our squad."
"Thus, in the Eternal Ruin Outpost, you are guaranteed," Yuso said with sincerity.
He can't promise anything to the two besides these.
Their squad is a mercenary; there are no unique resources to change, no discounts to be made, no missions and tasks to do, etc.
The only thing they can do is protect each other's safety while earning money from killing Abyss monsters.
"Kids, don't bother listening to this fool."
"Safety is the least of your concerns once you join this muscle head," suddenly, a man interrupted their discussion.
"You should join us, Abyssal Twilight Squad. At least we can ensure your safety," Dart invited.
"Dart! What are you saying?" Yuso asked angrily.
"Captain Yuso, stop wasting your time fooling newcomers. It'd be a waste to follow you," Dart rolled his eyes.
"What do you mean?!" Yuso flared up, ready to attack.
Maximus on the scene just stood silently, looking with interest, while he scanned Dart's status.
[Dart Twilight: Tier 8
Law of Range: 45%
Domain: Critical Insight
Physique: Abyssal Focalization( Heaven)]
Reading the description of law, domain, and physique, Maximus couldn't help but sigh.
It is indeed a man who teased a dragon.
If Yuso had an invincible body, then Dart had an invincible range.
Yuso's physique, abyssal dragon body, and law grant him a nearly invulnerable body.
The domain also puts out anything but physical strength.
In the forbidden domain, spells, skills, techniques, and such were invalid; only physical strength could be used.
As for Dart, his law is about range, a branch of space law and insight.
Although the person who mastered it can't directly teleport, any item in their possession can.
Arrows, stones, bullets, bombs, any projectile that he can get his hands on.
With insight, Dart almost has an unlimited range.
As for abyssal focalization, it's a special physique that focuses all your power at one point.
Although it seems simple, the power of this physique is heaven-defying.
A peak tier 8 powerhouse strength on one point, even an apex sovereign wouldn't leave unscratched.
Much more for him; he had unlimited mana as long as he waited long enough; no one could withstand his power.
Regarding the domain, it was also such a useful physique.
This thing can give you weaknesses in all things, from everyday objects to the strongest enemies.
Although his origin domain can see everything at its very origin, he still needs to study them to tell its weaknesses.
While Maximus was looking at Dart's status panel.
Yuso and Dart came to a heated argument as they flared up their aura.
"Enough, you two!"
"Don't you see that the one you are fighting for is not interested?" A man who seemed stronger interrupted the brewing fight.
"Huh?" Yuso and Dart turned their attention to Maximus as their anger flared up.
The abyss energy seemed to surge as the space surrounding Maximus became chaotic.
Seeing the anger of the two shift into him, Maximus could only smile wryly.
"Nice to meet you again. I'm Maximus," Maximus introduced as he flared up his mana.
A surge of energy stabilized the surrounding space as the abyss energy returned to normal.
The scene suddenly became peaceful, like a picture scene.
Many watching the excitement were a little shocked after Maximus released his aura.
Although it was a little weaker than Yuso and Dart, Maximus's control was on another level.
Maximus deflected Yuso and Dart's aura using a weaker strength?to equalize the pressure and stabilize the space around him.
Although this kind of control is feasible, it is only possible if you have precise control of the law.
However, seeing Maximus do it so effortlessly.
They couldn't help but rub their eyes to see if they were hallucinating.
"You're quite good, kid," the man who reminded Yuso and Dart said.
"It's nothing," Maximus said respectfully, seeing the status panel of the one who just talked.
[Lor Gildart: Tier 8
Law of Strength: 99%
Domain: Will of Power
Physique: Will of Power (Heaven)]
Maximus didn't care about his progression of law.
Even if Lor just needed one more percent to reach apex sovereign.
The moat he needed to cross was harder than crossing tier 1 to tier 8 with 99 percent control of the law.
What he was respectful of was that Lor Girdart possessed pure strength with pure will.
The law of strength, as suggested, is just the power of strength, which is one of the major laws.
For the domain and physique, it is the will of power.
It is the weakest and strongest when it comes to power.
Basically, your power is equivalent to your will.
If you think you're invincible, then you are invincible.
If you think your fist can crush the opponent, then your fist can destroy your opponent.
If Lor believes he can never be defeated, then he can never be defeated.
Maximus still had respect for such a man.
Meanwhile, Lor looked at Maximus with a bit of admiration.
"You're not humble at all."
"Yuso and Dart are already at the top of Eternal Ruin Outpost."
"Saying you deflected their strength like nothing, it seems that you would survive Eternal Ruin Outpost just fine," Lor commended.
"Hmm," Maximus just nodded as he saw the teleportation array light up.
Meanwhile, Yuso and Dart just looked at him thoughtfully.
As for the previous anger, that was just a show.
This is usually a test to initiate newcomers.
If they can't even withstand their pressure and come running, then it's better for them not to come to Eternal Ruin Outpost.
Such a weak will and strength can only drag them down instead of helping.
However, they were still slightly surprised that Maximus deflected their strength like nothing.
If not for feeling his strength weaker than theirs, they would even doubt if Maximus was an apex sovereign in disguise.
Maximus also returned beside Skye and waited for the teleportation array to be fully initiated.
The earlier fuss is just big entertainment for him.
Now, for the main part, he looked at the other four awakened special physiques.
[Bio-Circuitry Body(Heaven): Integrates biology and mechanics, granting the ability to interface with electronic devices, control machinery, and even merge with mechanical creations.]
[Dreamweaver's Body(Heaven): Allows entry into a dream, manipulation of dreams, and the power to bring elements of the dream world into reality.]
[Necro-Undying (Heaven): Bestows control over life and death, granting the ability to raise the dead, drain life force, and resist mortal injuries.]
[Tectonic Titan Body: Controls the forces of the earth, granting the ability to manipulate stone and soil, create earthquakes, and shape the terrain to their advantage.]
"Hmmm, good enough..." Maximus thought.
Although it's a bit redundant, as he can do it with his cultivation skill and proficiency in spells.
Having a physique will still multiply his power by a huge magnitude.
...
Eternal Ruin Outpost:
Looking at the massive fortress, Maximus finally felt the authentic atmosphere of the Abyss Realm.
The previous End town and Purgatory City looked like a dilapidated town and a vacation spot, making him not feel the atmosphere of the abyss.
Now, looking at the thick walls, fully opened arrays, massive world-destroying weapons, flying troops on patrol, and people alert like a fully drawn bow; the contrast was stark.
The people who had just teleported from Purgatory City also wiped out the ease on their faces.
All around the city, people seemed to expect to be attacked at any time.
"You two should register, or the city's defense system will attack you," Lor advised.
Some Abyss monsters with intelligence disguise themselves and raid the outpost from time to time.
Thus, the Eternal Ruin Outpost is on tight strings all the time.
One moment, the friend you were talking to could be an Abyss monster ready to devour you.
"We got it," Maximus nodded.
Looking at the threatening gigantic weapons concentrated on them, he couldn't help but feel a chill.
They would probably be bombarded if they were not in the teleportation array.
Maximus and Skye quickly took out their tokens and placed them in the pillar in the middle of the teleportation array.
As the pillars lit up, the gigantic weapons aimed at them re-aimed outside the stronghold.
