"As for the Abyss Source..." Malgron took out a special ring filled with isolation runes and micro-arrays.
"Did you create this?" Maximus asked in amazement.
Abyss Source is highly sensitive to energy, so it is better to use it immediately or, in his case, isolate it.
Besides his storage dimension, this was the first time Maximus had seen a storage space capable of isolating Abyss Source.
"Hmm, I was too bored," Malgron nonchalantly replied.
Fighting wasn't the only thing he could do.
After living for an extended period of time, he mastered a lot of knowledge in his free time.
While he might not excel in mastery compared to others.
Malgron was confident that no one could beat him in terms of variety.
"Is that so," Maximus nodded in agreement.
Even him, when he was bored, he could also create some wonderful things.
Soon, Maximus put his consciousness inside the storage ring.
"Hiss~" Maximus cringed for a while as he sensed a dense Abyss aura amalgamation inside.
Different from the dazzling mountains of crystal merits.
Inside the storage ring were like mountains of cockroaches flying everywhere.
However, thinking that it would be his system treasure trove, the smile on his face widened.
With just a rough scan, Maximus estimated that there should be at least a hundred trillion worth of system points here.
Of course, there is also high-quality Abyss Source whose value he didn't know, so it should be more.
Maximus quickly put it in his storage dimension and looked at Malgron.
"Thank you," he said sincerely.
"Don't bother; it's nothing," Malgron waved his hands.
Compared to the extraordinary glimpses of the outside world he just saw, mere monetary possessions were nothing.
With the Myriad World Mall, Malgron was even more confident that he could defeat the monarchs on his own.
Just buying a few tier 10 weapons, he could pummel those Abyss Monarchs to the ground.
Unfortunately, he wasn't that boring.
Cheating and killing the fun didn't interest him.
Malgron would first study these new insights he bought and then test them on those monarchs, which would be more thrilling.
Soon, Malgron and Maximus continued drinking and talking, discussing the current state of the Ethereum realm to the present.
They also talked about the consequences of the appearance of the transdimensional system.
Although it seemed quite hidden, Malgron told Maximus that the Abyss Monarchs should have noticed its existence by now.
By knowing the transdimensional system inside and out and acquiring knowledge about the Abyss.
They concluded that the Abyss should change drastically soon.
It's not just that the creatures of the Ethereum realm would come en masse into the Abyss because of more outposts.
It's about the Abyss becoming more desperate.
Before the 'reinforcement' from an outside dimension arrives.
The Abyss should want to swallow the Ethereum realm as quickly as possible.
The estimate of about an epoch before the Abyss realm reaches the Ethereum realm would be shortened to only a few thousand years.
Of course, there is another instance: the Abyss Monarchs could quickly get reinforcements from their main dimension.
In that case, they would have no choice but to quickly expose their dimension to get outside reinforcement.
To this, Maximus only hoped that it would not happen.
If it did, he could only delete his shop account in the Myriad World Mall before anyone traced it back to him.
A few days later, in Maximus's residence:
Maximus was meditating as he counted his harvest from Malgron.
First is the crystal merits, which are 992,870,375,265,538,120,000, nearly a sextillion.
This solved almost all his money problems and more.
Maximus only needed 100 quintillions to advance, while his family and in-laws only needed about 3 quintillions in total.
In the end, he would still have 880 quintillion at his disposal.
Such a massive amount of money left Maximus in a daze.
Having money and not knowing where to spend it is such a trouble.
Second, there is the Abyss Source.
Looking at the dense amalgamation of the Abyss aura, Maximus hurriedly let the system absorb it.
"Hmm?" Maximus looked again, thinking that his eyes were blurry.
However, after double-checking, it was still a quadrillion.
"How is this possible?"
In his estimate, there should only be a few hundred trillion worth of energy.
Now, looking at the quadrillion system points in his panel, Maximus was in a daze for a while.
Scouring his storage dimension, he saw a unique Abyss Source among the pile.
[Monarch's Abyss Source Fragment: A part of Abyss Source made from a complete tier 9 world's origin]
"A Monarch Abyss Source!"
Maximus didn't expect that Malgron would give him even such a precious Abyss Source.
This is made from a tier 9 world's origin, for God's sake!
Even the Ethereum realm was only made from this.
Although this Abyss Source was only a fragment, it was still precious.
If someone could offer this to the Ethereum realm's World Will.
The Ethereum realm would probably regard him as a divine son, the son of the world.
Calming down, he thought about where to find the remaining fragments of the Monarch Abyss Source.
"Since it's a Monarch Abyss Source, the other fragment should be on another Monarch," Maximus concluded excitedly.
"Unfortunately, I'm still too weak..."
If not for his weak strength, he would probably rush to the Abyss Source layer now and fight the Monarchs until only one of them was standing.
This Monarch's Abyss source fragment could give him quadrillion system points!
Such a huge amount nearly blinded his eyes.
This is different from money, which he can't immediately spend.
System points are his life; no matter how many, it would not be too much.
"However, it seems that I can't recharge it with my energy..." Maximus muttered in helplessness.
There is only one way to recharge the Abyss Source, and that is through energy.
Whether it's kinetic energy, elemental energy, law energy, source energy, etc.
Maximus mainly provided mana to recharge his Abyss Source.
With unlimited mana, Maximus never had to worry about the lack of energy.
However, looking at the bottomless Monarch's Abyss Source, a problem was presented to him.
His mana seemed like a faucet trying to fill a sea.
Although it's not that exaggerated.
Maximus estimated it would take him over three years to fill this Monarch Abyss Source.
His hope of squandering system points was dashed before it even began.
According to his current tier, he can only produce 10 million worth of energy every second.
He can only recharge a single abyss source at a maximum of 864 billion daily.
This means even those tier 8 Abyss Sources worth trillions couldn't be fully charged within a day.
"Wait, it seems that I could still strengthen myself!" Maximus suddenly noticed a blind spot.
Maximus hurriedly opened his system panel.
[Maximus Shadowcrest:
Mana Compatibility: Rank 9 Dimensional Source (Ultimate)
Soul Amplitude: 1,000,000,000,000 (100%)
Soul Will: 1,000,000,000,000 (100%)
"It seems that I can still strengthen myself!"
Since Maximus advanced to tier 7, he hardly trained.
First, it was so inefficient and boring.
Second, Why bother with meditation when he could just absorb crystal merits to advance?
However, Maximus had come to inertial thinking that he needed to collect 100 quintillion crystals and complete the tier 8 chapter 'origin' before he could advance.
Maximus didn't think of upgrading his strength first and then advancing later.
All this time, Maximus was fighting as an early tier 7 powerhouse.
If not for insufficient energy, he would not even think about this.
After all, all this time, there was no problem with his strength, or he never needed to use all his strength at all.
Even in his fight with the Shadow God, Maximus used the power of items instead of his strength.
"It seems that I was stupid and arrogant..." Maximus mocked himself a little.
Thinking about it, he hurriedly took mountains of crystal merits and began advancing.
"Huh~" Maximus exhaled, opening his eyes.
[Maximus Shadowcrest:
Mana Compatibility: Rank 9 Dimensional Source (Ultimate)
Soul Amplitude: 1,000,000,000,000 (100%)
Soul Will: 1,000,000,000,000 (100%)
"Close..." Maximus shook his head.
"It seems that I really need the tier 8 chapter of 'origin' to advance."
Maximus felt his power explode after absorbing about a hundred quintillion crystal merits for a few months.
"Ten times more power..." Maximus clenched his fist, making the void around him crack.
"I don't know if my mana generation is also ten times."
Without further ado, he took out the Monarch crystal and poured his mana.
After a while, Maximus concluded that his mana generation was indeed ten times greater.
Now, he can generate about 8 trillion mana daily, capable of fully recharging those tier 8 Abyss Sources.
As for the Monarch Abyss Source, it would still take him over 4 months.
"Now that I have enough system points, it's time to advance 'origin.'"
