Soon, the days continued to pass as Maximus watched the Apex Sovereigns fight the Abyss Monarchs.
With his 'Origin' damaged, Maximus could do nothing but watch the fight.
Fortunately, the Amalgamation of Will flowed without stopping, giving the Apex Sovereign the strength to continue fighting.
While ensuring his family's safety, Maximus suddenly noticed Malgron, who was fighting, suddenly become sluggish.
"Huh? What happened to him? Did he get caught up in a spell?"
"No, host. It seems that Malgron is participating in a Primal Arena," Jixie said, observing Malgron's condition.
"What?! This bastard is still fighting in that stupid competition during this time?"
Without Malgron's full concentration, the Abyss Monarchs began to besiege him, causing damage even to the surrounding Apex Sovereigns.
Noticing the change in the battlefield, Fealan, Alabaster, and Readius quickly went to Malgron's aid.
Seeing them stabilize the battlefield, Maximus heaved a sigh of relief.
"This Malgron is really crazy!"
Although he had bet 100 septillion dimensional coins on Malgron, he was still shocked by his recklessness.
In the middle of a battle, Malgron dared to lose concentration and fight on another battlefield.
Fortunately, there were others who could hold the front for him.
...
Soon, after a few hours, Malgron returned to normal.
"What's Malgron's current ranking in the Primal Feast Competition?" Maximus asked, seeing the battlefield return to its usual rhythm.
"Malgron just passed the qualification round a few days ago."
"Now, after another fight, he has reached the top 512 Primal Fighters."
"Oh? So fast? Just a few more fights and Malgron would win the championship!" Maximus muttered with a smile.
With a bet of 100 septillion dimensional coins, if Malgron won, he would pocket over 5 octillion dimensional coins.
This amount of money is enough for him to spend for a while.
Thinking about it, he chose to forgive Malgron's recklessness earlier.
"Tell me when it's Malgron's turn to fight. I'll cover for him," Maximus reminded.
Although his 'Origin' was damaged and he couldn't fight directly, he could still control an unconscious body to fight.
With this guarantee, no matter how many days Malgron fought in the Primal Arena, the battlefield wouldn't be affected.
He also informed Malgron about this plan so he wouldn't be surprised to see his body move on its own.
Thinking it was a good idea, Malgron quickly agreed.
After all, the enemy was getting stronger and stronger.
In the qualification round, even if he used one-tenth of his consciousness he could still fight.
Now all his enemies were at peak tier 10.
Malgron needed to be at his full concentration to even have the chance to win.
...
Soon months passed, and the Abyss Monarchs began to show signs of energy deficiency.
Initially, they were like mad dogs, wanting to bite anyone.
Now, they were like defeated dog, wanting to preserve their energy and wait for reinforcements.
Unfortunately, without a Titled Abyss creature taking action, their chances of survival were close to zero.
He had Jixie ban the space on this dimensional coordinate.
Unless one had higher authority, no one could teleport to this place temporarily.
The Abyss Monarchs seemed to know this and started to go mad.
"Host, the Abyss Monarch's activated its innate skill, the forbidden sky. It's over! it's time to escape host." Jixie hurriedly reminded.
Forbidden Sky is an innate skill of an Abyss Monarchs where they use their last breath and sacrifice it to the Abyss Will.
This would cause the abyss to resonate, devouring all energy it touch.
Besides physical strength, all kinds of energy attacks will just feed the enemy making them stronger.
In this state, any strategy or cleverness is useless.
The only way one could survive this is through pure strength and combat ability.
"I know. I've already prepared for this..." Maximus said with a smile.
Knowing the essence of the Abyss Monarchs, how could he not be prepared?
"Time to close the net..."
As if hearing his words, the Apex Sovereigns on the battlefield paused and looked at the enemy with red eyes.
With a movement of their minds, their 'Origins' started to explode, giving them power beyond their usual capabilities.
"Origin Explosion! This is insane!" Jixie muttered, shocked.
'Origin' Explosion is no different from suicide.
Once the 'Origin' is damaged, it is forever damaged.
Unless one has a heaven-defying ultimate treasure, repairing it is just a dream.
Seeing them burn their 'Origin', Jixie thought the era of Apex Sovereigns in the Etherium Realm was over.
Even if they came back alive to tell the tale, they would be mere pieces and bones left.
"This is a special Origin Explosion..." Maximus smiled mysteriously.
This is his self-created Origin Explosion.
Although this forbidden technique can only enhance physical ability, the damage done can be easily healed by him
Practicing the Origin Ultimate Cultivation Manual, his proficiency with the 'Origin' is top-notch.
Maximus dared to say that the depth of his knowledge in this subject surpassed that of a tier 11 individual.
Thus, with his guarantee, those Apex Sovereigns didn't need to worry about accidentally dying after the explosion of their 'Origin'.
Seeing their power multiply a thousandfold in just a short while, they looked at the Abyss Monarchs like they were prey.
"It's your turn," they muttered coldly.
Kitting the Abyss Monarchs like dogs made them physically and mentally exhausted.
Seeing that it was the final showdown, they couldn't help but lick their lips in bloodthirst.
"Kill!"
With desperation and excitement, the Apex Sovereigns and the Abyss Monarchs began to clash without regard for their lives.
However, after a few clashes, the Abyss Monarchs still had the upper hand.
Despite boosting their strength a thousand times, the Apex Sovereigns were simply no match for the invincible Abyss Monarchs.
Seeing a casualty about to occur, Maximus quickly came to the rescue.
After a few months, his 'Origin' was somehow restored
Getting near the battlefield, where his domain could reach them, Maximus quickly came to support.
Each Abyss Monarch's fatal attack was quietly deflected or blocked, ensuring that no Apex Sovereign died.
They were the culmination of talent and wealth of the Etherium Realm, and even one dying was a pity.
Within his power, Maximus tried his best to prevent any casualties.
Unfortunately, in a chaotic battlefield and with his battered Origin, one or two Apex Sovereigns still died from time to time.
...
Soon hours and days passed, and only four Apex Sovereigns and twelve Abyss Monarchs were left standing.
All the Apex Sovereigns with exhausted battle potential were already sent back by Maximus to the Etherium Realm.
Only Malgron, Fealan, Alabaster, and Readius were left on the battlefield.
"Finish this already," Maximus secretly shouted, lying down lazily.
With a few miscellaneous Abyss Monarchs left, they were no longer a threat to them.
...
Soon, with the occasional support of Maximus, the number of remaining Abyss Monarchs dwindled until all of them were executed.
"Huh~ Finally done..." Maximus heaved a sigh of relief.
Looking at the battlefield, one could see the remnants of a devastating battle.
Malgron, Fealan, Alabaster, and Readius were battered with broken parts all over their bodies.
This was just the external damage.
Inside, their soul, spirit, especially their Origins, were quite damaged.
Even with his help, it would take a few years to return to their full condition.
However, compared to the torture and time they went through fighting neck to neck with the abyss, this was nothing.
"How about we drink first?" Maximus invited.
"That would be delightful!" Alabaster said.
The others also quickly took up the offer and sat haphazardly on the ground.
Taking a sip of wine, they couldn't help but reminisce.
In the beginning, the Etherium Realm had barely a few dozen Apex Sovereigns.
Fighting the abyss, they could only face it with despair and wait for death.
However, after countless epochs, fate took a turn.
With the birth of one genius after another, the Apex Sovereigns multiplied from dozens to a few thousands.
It also gave birth to Maximus, a genius with heaven-defying luck who got the key to defeating the abyss.
Finally, after countless sacrifices and hundreds of apex sovereigns dying, they sat on the battlefield quietly enjoying the taste of wine.
"What are your next plans?" Malgron broke the silence and looked at Maximus.
The others also stopped and looked solemnly at Maximus.
During the months-long fight, Maximus's fighting capability went beyond their expectations.
In the beginning, Maximus dared to supply them with an unlimited quantity of Amalgamation of Will.
This will is the will of the people, much like faith.
Just like every energy source, everything has limits.
However, they were shocked to find that no matter how much they consumed this energy, it wouldn't run out.
The most puzzled by this was Readius.
He had a thousand times more believers than Maximus, ye he may not even be able to supply the battlefield for a month.
However Maximus, a newly advanced Apex Sovereign, could easily do so.
Readius could only wonder what was so different about the Amalgamation of Will that it crushed faith by quantity.
Furthermore, although they didn't see Maximus do much, seeing his injuries, they could only conclude he was one of the keys to winning their fight.
Destroying the abyss portal with unknown dangers and helping them minimize casualties by a large degree.
They couldn't help but admire Maximus a little.
However, as leaders, at the top of their respective continent, their admiration couldn't cloud their judgment.
Looking solemnly at Maximus, they waited for an answer.
"I—"
