Before the absolutes could speak another word, Nero began burning the accumulated plane origin he had.
After hundreds of thousands of years, spending and using some, he had accumulated over 10 million units of plane origin.
Burning it all at once, the suppression of the chaos continent was released as he felt his strength increase infinitely.
Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands—until his strength multiplied by millions!
Feeling the overwhelming power, even the absolutes unconsciously retreated.
The chaotic phenomenon they were in only limited strength to the tier 7 realm and the use of the essence of law.
However, watching Nero break through this limit and reach the Tier 9 realm, they were dumbfounded.
Not only that, feeling his strength skyrocket to an unimaginable degree, they felt a palpitation of death in their hearts.
"How could your strength break free?!"
"This is impossible! You must be cheating!"
Unless Nero possessed a plane-level treasure, a plane-level physique, or was an overlord, there was no way he could break the limits of the chaos continent.
After the Etherium Realm advanced to the Tier 12 Ultimate Dimension, the solidity of the rules in the chaos continent was second only to the Aeon Plane.
Breaking these limits, they began to doubt—was Nero truly the reincarnation of an overlord?
"There's no need to know any of that... Now die!"
Pressing his hands together, a phantom appeared in the sky, suppressing everything below.
Like thunder crashing to the ground, the powerhouses surrounding him could only scream silently as their bodies disintegrated.
With unwillingness and despair, they could only stare at the sky in a daze.
Erasing everything in its path, Nero floated silently, scanning his surroundings.
"It's finally done..." Nero sighed.
Although he had spent all the plane origin he had accumulated, winning 100 consecutive chaotic phenomena made it worthwhile.
Just as Nero was celebrating, the chaos continent began to rumble, as if acknowledging its rightful ruler.
The land began to reorganize and sublimate as the power of chaos reversed, pushing Nero's strength even higher.
From Tier 9, his strength surged uncontrollably to the Tier 10 realm.
Instead of excitement, Nero frowned as his strength exploded.
He had only mastered the essence of law; advancing to the Tier 10 realm now would ruin his foundation.
But before he could react, his power surged like a raging river, pushing him even further to the Tier 11 realm.
Despair filled him as he advanced another tier.
Tiers 0 to 10 realm were foundational realms.
If he advanced accidentally, he could still start over and rebuild.
But reaching the Tier 11 realm meant his foundation was permanently solidified, unable to be reforged.
Closing his eyes, Nero felt all his hard work had gone to waste.
What was the point of spending all this time carefully building ultimate foundation?
What was the purpose of all the trials and tribulations he had endured?
After everything, the blood, sweat, and effort, was he doomed to be mediocre for the rest of his life?
"Father, you're cheating me!" Nero wailed internally.
Who knew that becoming the lord of the Chaos Continent would forcefully promote him?
After spending all his plane origin, he had no way to suppress the surging power of the Chaos Continent.
Opening his eyes, Nero could only accept reality.
"Well, it seems I can only be a mediocre young master in the future…" Nero muttered, already imagining a future of listlessness.
Coming out of his daze, he suddenly noticed something strange.
"Huh? There's no imperfection?!"
Ever since his Heavenly Perfection Physique advanced to the Origin-Grade Ultimate Physique, Nero had become extremely sensitive to flaws.
Even the slightest imperfection was magnified in his eyes—like a speck of dust stinging them.
Although he learned to control his reactions, it would still make him uncomfortable.
He had resigned himself to living in this world like a broken, flawed existence, but now, looking at his body, it was like flawless jade, free of any blemishes.
"What happened?! My foundation is still perfect?!"
Not believing his eyes, he carefully examined every inch of his body, soul, and origin.
Aside from the absence of the origin of law and the path of law, everything was flawless.
"Hah~ It seems my father is still reliable!" Nero smiled, feeling his newfound strength.
Now that he no longer had to worry about his foundation, he turned his attention to the Chaos Continent as it began to sublimate.
From chaos to order, the land reorganized itself, evolving into the pinnacle of the Etherium Realm.
Like an independent domain, it started cycling its own laws, wielding a power capable of breaking through dimensions at any moment.
As the power of chaos permeated the land, elixirs, materials, treasures, and all kinds of wonders began to emerge.
All living beings in the area also started evolving, transforming into chaotic creatures, beings that resided outside the Aeon Plane.
Absorbing the remnants of countless battles over millions of years, it began to explode with growth, pushing toward new heights.
Watching it evolve before his eyes, Nero couldn't help but be amazed.
"I didn't expect the Chaos Continent to possess such potential!"
Breaking through the barrier of the Etherium Realm, the Chaos Continent began to break free of its bindings, ascending into the void.
As it soared through the sky, every being and powerhouse in the Etherium Realm and the Shadow Void Land couldn't help but pause, staring at the dazzling phenomenon.
Finally, as it solidified its position in the void, chaotic energy began to permeate the Etherium Void Region, influencing the source of knowledge with chaos energy.
"Nero, it seems you've completed my task ahead of schedule." Maximus praised, teleporting beside him.
Overcome with emotion, Nero embraced his father, venting all his pent-up feelings.
Even after living for hundreds of thousands of years, in his heart, he was still a child—the son of his father.
"You little rascal~" Maximus chuckled wryly, feeling his son's warmth.
It seemed the task he had given Nero was too difficult.
Especially after Mira left… he could only imagine the loneliness Nero had endured.
"Don't worry. It's all over now…"
"But the Chaos Continent—" Nero hesitated, still concerned about its sudden ascension.
"Hahaha! This is the Chaos Continent's true form; it merely shed its disguise!" Maximus muttered excitedly.
"The Chaos Continent has finally evolved into the Chaos Dimension!"
