Chapter 253  Maximus x Skye

Seeing that there was still a heartbeat, Lor couldn't help but check carefully.

To his delight, his squad mate was still alive.

Although there were various injuries, they should heal after a few years of recuperation.

The others, looking at their squad mate and friends, also looked joyful, feeling they still had breath left.

"They're still alive?!"

"Great, we can still fight together!"

After tabulating all their fallen comrades, they noticed that no one was dead.

All of them seemed to be only severely injured.

"Whose work is this?"

"Is there such a powerful person?"

"Maybe it's the protection of the Etherium Realm Origin Will?"

"Just dream; we are just a bunch of soldiers for it. Why would it specifically save us?"

"Then what do you think is the reason no one was dead?"

The crowd discussed in amazement as they pondered the reason for such a phenomenon.

However, even with their wildest imagination, they could never think Maximus was responsible for such a thing.

Although he can hold off a Lord-level abyss alone, he can only run for his life.

Seeing the three Lord-level abyss monsters escape confirmed that Maximus was just a little bit stronger.

"Hahaha, don't worry about such a thing; we should celebrate instead!"

"Indeed, surviving this catastrophe, we should just thank our luck!"

"Don't be too hasty; we should fix the stronghold first!"

While the crowd chattered and celebrated their another lease on life.

Skye looked around nervously to find Maximus.

Earlier, she was so into the fight that she didn't notice him.

Now, hearing that there were no casualties around.

Skye was sure that this was Maximus' doing.

"Did you do this?" Skye sighed.

Skye already knew about Maximus's amazing healing capability that could even bring dead people alive.

Having this thought, she couldn't help but have a complicated feeling.

If what she thought is the truth, then how strong is Maximus?

Even she, who had been in different dimensions, felt she was living in another world with him.

...

While the crowd was discussing his grand play.

Maximus teleported to the 'props,' the abyss monster he just used.

"Three Lord-level abyss monsters and hundreds of thousands of elite-level abyss monsters..." Maximus counted.

Looking at them trapped in his domain, he smiled.

"Your task is done; you should return to the abyss..."

Condensing his domains, the abyss monsters trapped in his domain were crushed into nothingness.

The abyss origin then gathered and formed crystal merits.

He also quickly pocketed the abyss source.

"2 thousand tier 6 abyss sources."

"28 tier 7 normal abyss sources."

"3 Tier 7 elite abyss sources."

He could never have imagined getting this many abyss source in one battle.

His harvest in one battle surpasses what he worked for a decade.

A tier 6 abyss source gave him a million system points.

A tier 7 normal abyss source gave him a billion system points.

A tier 7 elite abyss source gave him a hundred billion system points.

With all that added, plus his previous accumulation, he can get over 430 billion system points daily.

"Now I can be a little willful with my system points..." Maximus smiled at the thought.

Although the system points he receives every day are getting higher and higher.

His expenses are also getting higher and higher.

Just creating the 'Origin' Cultivation manual, these hundreds of billions of system points are insufficient.

There is also the merging of various domains and physiques.

By now, they are barely merged together.

What he planned was to merge them until they became one with his own.

The merging he did is just a preliminary and hasty measure to gain strength quickly.

There is also various knowledge about professions like mechanics, alchemy, arrays, etc.

Although he no longer needed to study these miscellaneous knowledge.

He felt that it was still helpful.

At the later stage, all kinds of knowledge reinforce, support, and oppose each other like a network of cycles.

It's also helpful to learn it for daily living comfort.

Like the manor in his stronghold, it was still intact even after the chaos.

He would probably not have a house if he hadn't reinforced the house with various array enhancements.

Feeling the apex sovereign about to return to the stronghold, he teleported back.

...

"Hmmm?" Before Maximus could look around, someone suddenly hugged him from behind.

"Skye?"

"What happened?" Maximus asked worriedly, feeling a large fluctuation of emotion in her.

"Just let me hug you like this..." Skye requested.

Feeling Maximus's breath, Skye calmed down.

They were not living in different worlds.

Maximus was here in her embrace.

Listening to his heartbeat, she knew Maximus was real and not merely her illusion.

The countless epochs of loneliness didn't make her sick and crazy.

She just had someone who made her feel this deep emotion that she felt unreal for a second.

"Maximus..." Skye called.

"What is it?"

"Do you love me?" Skye asked straightforwardly.

Maximus was silent for a while and then broke their embrace.

Setting up an isolation barrier, he locked his eyes with hers.

"What makes you think that I don't love you?" Maximus asked with a smile.

"Isn't it? You have so many beautiful wives, and my charm is barely comparable," Skye asked doubtfully.

"You eat my food, wear my clothes, and you still think I don't love you?"

"Do you want to default on your debt?" Maximus asked in amusement.

"Are you telling the truth?" Skye looked at his eyes intently.

"Yes, I love you..."

"You don't care if I'm barbaric and not womanly?"

"I love you..."

"I can only fight and not do anything. Do you still love me?"

"I love you..."

"Even if I'm a money fan, will you still love me?"

"I love you..."

No matter what Skye said, he only replied with a sentence.

Even if the ground cracked before him, his expression wouldn't change, and he would still say these words lovingly.

Looking at Skye, who found reason after reason to hear him say, 'I love you,' he smiled.

Fortunately, he had set up an isolation barrier so others did not notice their flirting.

After Skye thought of various reasons, hearing the words 'I love you' did not seem enough.

"Kiss me..." Skye said.

Maximus didn't reply and immediately obliged.

"Hmm..."

...

A few days later, the stronghold returned to peace.

All the debris and destruction were quickly fixed.

The hustle and bustle also returned.

Those fallen people also woke up from their coma.

Even after a few days, despite the investigation by the apex sovereigns.

The reason why they were still alive is still unknown.

However, thinking they were near the abyss source layer, they quickly threw it to the back of their minds.

What about not dying?

Although it's unique, it's not so unique that they would waste their time.

If they had that time, exploring the abyss realm and collecting more abyss source would be better.

There are so many mysteries here that they have already grown numb.

Like the phenomenon of an army that suddenly gains strength comparable to tier 9.

Although it's only fake, without the control of the law, it was still unbelievable.

There are even treasures that can revive beings that have long been dead.

Or awakening physique while taking a walk in the abyss.

There are so many that the mere phenomenon of not directly dying is not worth their attention.

...

Meanwhile, Maximus and Skye stayed in their residence, doing great deeds.

After a few days of indulgence, Skye's thirst was finally satisfied.

Looking at Skye obediently lying in his eyes, Maximus couldn't help but smile.

"What are you smiling for?" Skye asked in puzzlement.

"Nothing, I just think you are becoming more and more beautiful..."

"Hmph! You're just blind; I'm naturally beautiful!"

"I'm indeed blind for not getting you sooner," Maximus nodded in agreement.

"It's good that you know what you're missing!" Skye pinched his cheeks.

"Blame me. If I had woken up sooner, I would have long chased you, not wasting a few decades."

"Don't worry, at least you have me now," Skye comforted.

"By the way, can you tell me about your strength?" Skye asked curiously.

"Do you want to know the lie or the truth?"

"What about the truth? What about the lie?" Skye rolled her eyes.

"The lie is that I can barely match a beginner tier 9 apex sovereign."

"The truth is I can fight back-to-back with almost any apex sovereign without losing any ground," Maximus explained.

At his current strength, besides the ancient apex sovereign, no one could make him scared.

"So powerful!" Skye said, looking at him obsessively.

"This is just a bit of your husband's power..." Maximus teased as if he was ready for another round.

"Really?"

"Is there any more power?" Skye asked as her hands became dishonest and crawled down on his stomach.

After fighting with Maximus in bed, she experienced a different kind of euphoria that she can't get in the battle arena.

Hearing that Maximus still had stamina, she couldn't help but be excited.

"This is the ultimate power of your husband..." Maximus looked intently.

When it comes to this, Maximus was confident.

Unlimited mana is invincible!

"Hehe, you sure talk tough,"

"Then let me show you around..."
