"However, if the Entities of Law couldn't deal with the Dark Beast, dealing with the members of the Black Sigil shouldn't be a problem, right?" Maximus asked curiously.
Although the members of the Black Sigil had partial control over black energy, they couldn't produce it on their own.
Without the Dark Beast as a direct source, they were just like the rest.
"That's right. As long as the Dark Beast was expelled, we shouldn't have to worry about any external forces."
A plane was vastly different from a powerhouse.
Even if one were a tier 13 Archon, they couldn't just randomly invade other planes without preparation.
Facing over a hundred thousand Entities of Law, they could easily be toppled to the ground.
Thinking of Mira, who gave up all her strength just to blend with the laws of the Aeon Plane, it made more sense.
"Alright, enough questions. Maximus, quickly contact those Entities of Law," Lazo said impatiently.
Among them, only Maximus had direct contact with an Entity of Law.
The others had already discarded their contracts with the Entities of Law, ready to escape the Aeon Plane at any time.
As for Sira and Nyx, only their incarnations were connected to Entities of Law, not their main bodies.
Urging his Core of Origin, he began to contact one of the governing entities, the Origin of all Law, the Entity of Origin.
"What do you need, kid? About to seek death again?" Old Origin muttered in dissatisfaction.
Usually, when Maximus contacted him, it was either to seek death or for another experiment.
"No, I want you to call the other Entities of Origin and be a witness to my contract with the Overlords."
"Those Overlords are here?! Are you sure you want me to be a witness to that contract?!" Old Origin said mockingly.
Although they were neutral, they still had emotions. Being treated like baggage, abandoned so they could escape, who wouldn't be angry?
"Isn't this more appropriate? Once they break the contract, you'll have a reason to kill them," Maximus said with a smile.
With such a revulsion, the Entities of Law would surely enforce the contract more strictly.
"Haha, that's right! Once these Overlords step out of line, I'll kill them myself." Old Origin laughed happily.
"Alright, I'll go call them."
Nodding, the consciousness of the Entity of Origin disappeared, returning to the Atrium of Law, the heart of the Aeon Plane.
"Gather around. We've been called."
"Called? What happened, Old Origin?"
"Did something happen to the Aeon Plane?"
"No, no. Maximus requested that we witness his contract with the Overlords."
"Witness the contract? Hah! It seems these Overlords are about to do something big," the Entity of Destiny muttered, calculating their intentions.
"What do they have in mind, Destiny? Did you deduce it?" Old Origin asked, puzzled.
In his rush, he had forgotten to ask what the contract was actually about.
"It's an exchange of interests that could subvert the Aeon Plane," the Entity of Destiny muttered in shock.
Looking at the clues in the contract, she couldn't even deduce what the future of the Aeon Plane would hold.
"What is it? Can you be more specific?" Seeing the Entity of Destiny so shaken, the other Entities of Law couldn't help but press for details.
Calming down, the Entity of Destiny began to recount what she had deduced, detailing the possible effects it would have on the Aeon Plane.
Soon, listening to her words, the other Entities of Law were in shock.
"This is truly astonishing. This Maximus is a different breed from the creatures of the Aeon Plane."
"This kind of endless greed... having the Dimensional Source was a masterful stroke!"
"Haha, isn't this good? Only with someone like him can the Aeon Plane rise against all odds!"
As Entities of Law, they understood how dire the Aeon Plane's situation truly was.
In just a few million years, the Dark Disaster would fully erupt. Coupled with the external threat of the lunatic Black Sigil, their days were already numbered.
Unfortunately, even with all their power, they couldn't do anything but watch.
"Destiny, do you think it's time we initiate the Plane Trial?" the Entity of Origin suddenly asked.
The Plane Trial, the trial to determine the successor of the Aeon Plane.
Once initiated, the victor could wield all the power of the Aeon Plane and command all the Entities of Law.
Becoming a Master of the Plane, they would have the same status and strength as an Archon, the Archon of Plane!
"Not yet. The seedlings we have aren't ready..."
From Maximus and his family to Atlas and Zar, and all those who had forged contracts with the Entities of Law, they were the potential seeds to compete to become the Master of the Aeon Plane
Unfortunately, most of them hadn't even reached the Absolute Realm. It was too early to initiate the Plane Trial.
"Then when will we begin the Plane Trial?"
"Don't worry, it won't be much longer."
"How much longer?! The Dark Disaster is about to swallow us!"
The other Entities of Law began voicing their frustration, knowing they couldn't afford to wait much longer.
"You don't have to worry, this coming Dark Disaster will be a stepping stone for them, a whetstone to sharpen the strongest Plane Master."
In the Etherium Realm.
"Where are they? Have you called them yet?" Lazo asked impatiently.
It had been a few hours since they finalized the contract and summoned the Entities of Law, but they still hadn't arrived.
As Entities of Law, the almighty controllers of the Aeon Plane, any place should be within their grasp. It should only take a split second to appear.
"What are you so impatient about, fatso? You looking for a fight?" the Entity of Growth said mockingly upon hearing Lazo's words.
"Huh? You've finally arrived! I thought you lazy devil had fallen into eternal sleep!" Lazo shot back, recognizing his old partner.
Unfortunately, to sever his binding to the Aeon Plane, he'd had to cut off his contract with the Entity of Growth.
"It's you who were asleep! If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up ?!" the Entity of Growth snapped.
Initially, the Entity of Growth had a strong chance of becoming one of the governing laws.
But thanks to Lazo's laziness infecting him, he learned to let things go, lying down, watching the ebb and flow without doing anything.
Even now, having retained that habit, he mostly just slept and lazed around.
Fortunately, as the Entity of Growth, one of the fundamental laws of the Aeon Plane, he still retained his status as one of the Supreme Laws.
Soon, the former partners of the Overlords also began arguing with each other, filling the empty space with loud bickering.
"What a bunch of nuisances. Old Origin, do your thing~" the Entity of Destiny said irritably.
