Chapter 288 Lack of Energy
Seeing that his attack didn't even cause a scratch, Maximus was not discouraged.
His attack was only a test and didn't contain a hint of law; it was only pure mana.
"Let's try this..."
Maximus gathered 1 percent of his power of law and methodically mixed it with his domain.
"Explode~"
Suddenly, the atmosphere around Drekthar compressed and exploded.
Boom!~
Thud!~
Drekthar fell down like a broken kite that had suddenly lost its string.
"Interesting..." Drekthar slowly got up and patted the dust on his body.
"A mere power of law could even affect the Origin of law?"
"What a monster!"
Facing the earlier attack, Drekthar thought it would be only a bit stronger, but he was gravely mistaken.
After a weird power of law latched onto him.
All the energy around him and his body immediately converged and exploded.
What's scarier is that even the Origin of Law hidden in his body almost exploded.
If it were not for his alertness, immediately retracting the Origin of Law.
He would have exploded there and then.
A power of law capable of affecting the origin of law?
What kind of insanity is this?
Is this the power of an Ultimate Physique?
"Just a little trick," Maximus replied in pity.
He thought he could at least heavily injure Drekthar with the attack.
Who knew it would only cause some scratches?
As for his bit of power of law capable of affecting even the Origin of Law?
It's a little trick he just learned from Malgron.
When Malgron dissolved his domain, Maximus felt a little resistance.
Although it's nothing compared to the absolute power of the origin of law, it's enough.
Since the Abyss Monarch in front of him was only tier 9.
Even if he could use the Origin of Law, he couldn't fully control it.
It's like knowing how to use a bomb but not knowing how to create it.
With Maximus knowing that his power of law can interfere with the origin of law.
He just needed to trigger the bomb, making the Origin of Law chaotic until it exploded.
Unfortunately, his little experiment failed, as Drekthar forcefully retracted his Origin of Law.
"However, as long as it works, it's good..."
Maximus repeated the trick and attacked Drekthar.
"Again?~" Drekthar smiled at Maximus's foolishness and retracted his energy.
Boom!~
"The same trick wouldn't wor-"
Before Drekthar could finish speaking, Maximus silently teleported onto his back, clenching his fist.
Bamm~
A fist filled with a tenth of his power of law squarely hit Drekthar's body, sending him flying.
Thud!
Cough~
Cough~
"Damn, my brothers must be laughing at me!" Drekthar muttered in shame, minding his embarrassment more than his injury.
Standing his ground, Drekthar looked at Maximus with a thicker killing intent.
"A bearer of an ultimate physique is indeed not to be underestimated."
Although he was mocking Maximus, Drekthar was not in the slightest bit careless.
However, even after Maximus teleported onto his back, he couldn't sense a thing.
If not for the attack, he wouldn't even know that teleported Maximus on his back.
"Thank you for your compliment," Maximus replied with a smile.
However, in his heart was a sigh.
Looking at the fully intact Drekthar, it seems that even ten percent of his power of law can't do much damage.
As for using all of his power of law, Maximus wouldn't dare.
He was only here to test his strength, not to fight to the death.
If his power of law was exhausted, he would be at the mercy of these abyss monarchs.
"Playtime is over-"
Suddenly, another voice sounded from the void.
The seemingly simple sentence made Maximus chill to the core.
Without thinking, he mobilized all his remaining power of law, all space barrier-breaking items, and teleported out in an instant.
Boom!
A moment after Maximus teleported, a few light years of barrier made of Origin of law appeared.
The thick barrier even made the abyss creak for a while, on the verge of breaking.
Seeing the attack didn't work, Valdreakth and Zalthor frowned.
"Don't sweat it too much."
"If a bearer of the ultimate physique is that easy to capture, then we would be helpless," Nyxalos seemed to expect everything and calmed them down.
However, thinking that they wasted a huge amount of Origin of law, they still felt unhappy.
"This is all a necessary investment..." Knowing what they were thinking, Nyxalos comforted again.
If the essence of law can be cultivated just by compressing the power of law.
Then cultivating the Origin of law is like picking the best-looking seedling among the essence of law before condensing it.
Of the essence of law, they can only have about 0.001 useful part that can be condensed to the Origin of Law.
Such an inefficiency meant that the barrier they just propped up was equivalent to millions of epochs of time wasted.
However, knowing that their life was on the line, they immediately calmed down.
The fight between Drekthar and Maximus and the barrier they set up was just a probe.
After knowing that there are at least two bearers of ultimate physique in their place.
The main abyss dimension was ready to send reinforcements.
However, before that, they needed to send evidence of their claim.
After all, the Main Abyss dimension can't just rely on some words before investing a huge amount of resources and manpower.
The fight and Maximus's escape just now were all recorded with a special device.
After that, they just needed to send it, so the experts of the main abyss dimension could analyze the footage, proving their claim.
"I hope everything works..." Nyxalos thought hopefully.
...
Main Abyss Dimension:
In a laboratory,
Billions of gigantic eyes roamed around as they analyzed every particle and atom in the footage sent to them.
Soon after months of investigation, various results came out.
"Send the information to the commander!"
The billions of gigantic eyes frantically compiled the information they got and sent it to their monarch.
...
In a blood-red moon, resembling an eye:
A seductive woman with beautiful scarlet-red eyes licked her lips in interest as she read the information sent by her subordinate.
"Interesting~"
"The long-lost physique, Dimensional Source!"
"Hahaha! After waiting for countless epochs, it's time for the abyss to rise again!"
The mere laugh caused vibrations throughout the abyss.
The abyss creature near the Scarlet moon, trembled as they wondered what was up with their monarch, the Scarlet-Eyes Witch.
...
In the Shadow Hunter Outpost:
In the manor, Maximus heaved a sigh of relief, finally recovering his spent Power of law.
"So dangerous!" Maximus muttered nervously.
A few months ago, if not for his decisiveness, he would have probably disappeared by now.
Although he can revive himself, it would probably take epochs before he could.
By then, he didn't know what crazy things his family would have done, or if they may still be alive.
"I shouldn't do such a dangerous thing again!" Maximus warned himself.
He was really arrogant testing his power on the Abyss Monarch.
He didn't even have the time to develop his power of law; it was still in its initial state.
Maximus was mainly relying on his domain to output, limiting his attack.
Yet he dared to test his power as if he were invincible.
"Tsk, let this be a lesson..." Maximus warned himself again.
"However, the power of law is really troublesome."
Maximus must admit that the power of law is strong.
Even in its initial state, it could take him millions of light years away with a single teleportation.
However, because it's limited, it made him a one-shot wonder.
In these past few months, besides recovering his power of law.
Maximus was thinking of a way to hasten his power of law recovery.
Although with unlimited mana, he can recover faster than others, it's not much use in battle.
What he wanted was to fight freely without any energy restriction.
Fortunately, it seems that his accumulation is massive enough that he thought of a solution.
It's the Amalgamation of Will.
All these years, after having Abyss source as the source of his system points, the amalgamation of will didn't have much use.
Besides providing a few trillion system points, it didn't help much.
However, it was still one of the most omnipotent energy he had come across.
But because of his lack of knowledge and control over it, it didn't exert its use.
If he can master this energy thoroughly, maybe it can even replace his power of law as his main energy.
Looking at the points he needed, a hint of determination crossed his eyes.
[Amalgamation of Will: Initial (15 trillion/100 quadrillion)]
"3.1 quintillion..."
If the progression of system points needed to upgrade Amalgamation of Will to Transcendence Mastery is the same, then he only needed 3.1 quintillion points.
With 12 quadrillion system points every month, he only needed over 21 years!
Such a short time, Maximus was willing to wait.
At that time, he can finally see if the Amalgamation of Will is really as omnipotent as he thought.
"I hope it doesn't disappoint me."
