Arriving in the Space-Time Lab, Maximus quickly called Eve.
"What is it? Do you have something new to create?" Eve asked routinely.
"Hmm. I finished creating the Ultimate Ether Device. This is the blueprint, see how fast you can produce one," Maximus said, nodding as he sent the data to Eve.
After processing the data, Eve began calculating the materials needed, the time needed, the processing time, etc.
"Given enough resources, the production facility could create 100 of these Ultimate Ether Devices every thousand years."
"That's fine," Maximus nodded in satisfaction.
After all, he could only create ten in a thousand years.
"Also, is it fine to leave them here to learn?" Maximus asked, pointing to the four spirit goddesses.
"They can stay, but they can only be temporarily bound to the Space-Time Lab. Once Master returns, they must leave."
"I see. Then I'll leave them in your care..."
After settling the production of the Ultimate Ether Device and the four spirit goddesses, Maximus returned to the Shadow Void Land.
Although the base had been stable lately, he knew danger could come at any time.
Furthermore, with nothing new to study, it was better to remain on his territory.
Back in the Shadow Void Land, Maximus took out the Chaos Particle Metal.
Estimating the materials needed to create the Ether Chip, Maximus couldn't help but frown.
He wanted to at least make a million Ultimate Ether Devices.
However, with the size of the Chaos Particle Metal, he couldn't even create a hundred thousand Ether Chips.
Without the Ether Chip, the Ether Device would be nothing more than an empty shell.
Frowning, he began processing the material as he considered a solution or alternative.
Soon, as five thousand years passed, Maximus suddenly sensed movement from Shadowcrest Castle.
"Did Etheria's physique advance to rank 13?" he wondered, feeling the familiar aura.
Teleporting to the Etherium Realm, he saw Etheria slowly walking out of her room.
"Husband~" Etheria smiled, leaping into his arms.
"Congratulations. Your physique finally advanced to rank 13."
"It wasn't easy... I spent about seven trillion units of plane origin. Most of our supply went to me," Etheria said, embarrassed.
Over the past fifteen thousand years, Maximus had sent them a total of fifteen trillion units of plane origin.
Spending nearly half the supply just for her physique to advance, even Etheria felt a little sting.
"You're a dimensional being, after all. It's only natural for you to need more plane origin to advance."
As a dimensional will, Etheria could not only absorb plane origin rapidly, but the amount she required was also immense.
"Then let me tell you about my physique." Seeing that Maximus didn't blame her, Etheria happily explained the changes.
From Ultimate Dimensional Physique, her physique advanced to Pseudo Plane Dimensional Physique.
Because her physique was only at rank 13, not at true plane level, it carried the "pseudo" label.
Still, reaching a rank 13 physique granted her partial abilities of a true plane.
First was independence. With her physique, she could completely sever the Etherium Realm's connection to the Aeon Plane.
As long as she had enough power and time, the Etherium Realm's laws could evolve, similar to entities of law.
Furthermore, her food no longer needed to rely on the Great Tree of the Aeon Plane; the Etherium Realm could now independently absorb chaos energy from the outside, like a true plane.
With chaos energy, the Etherium Realm could expand infinitely.
What excited her most was that she could now generate up to tier 12 ultimate treasures and materials, as long as the Etherium Realm absorbed enough chaos energy, or if she had enough plane origin.
Although she couldn't specify the exact item or material, she could spam her ability to get whatever they needed.
With just a few hundred units of plane origin, she could summon an ultimate material in the blink of an eye.
As for generating ultimate treasures, depending on their power, she could spend a million to several billion units of plane origin.
Of course, since she was only an Absolute, the ultimate treasures she could spawn would at most be on par with the top thousand ultimate treasures.
Finally, there was race creation. While she couldn't specify the race or traits, she could set the strength of the creatures she created.
At her current level, she could spawn tier 11 beings, summoning unlimited troops.
Of course, all these creatures were empty, like newborns.
Lacking any experience, they still needed training to become useful.
Furthermore, since they were born through unnatural means, they couldn't grow, meaning they couldn't condense a path of law.
Meanwhile, listening to Etheria's explanation, Maximus felt a little envious.
His Plane Source physique felt kind of fake.
Besides producing a bit of plane origin, it wasn't even a tenth as powerful as Etheria's.
Of course, without an abundant supply of plane origin, Etheria's physique would also be useless.
To activate any of her abilities, she needed massive energy, something only the chaos energy or plane origin could supply.
If Etheria depended on her own, it might take millions of years before she even produced a single ultimate treasure, let alone summoned unlimited troops.
"How about it, husband? Am I awesome?" Etheria smiled proudly, raising her chest.
"Awesome!" Maximus gave a thumbs-up, praising her.
With such power, their territory could undergo a massive revolution.
"What should I do now?" Etheria asked, unsure of her next step.
"First incorporate all the land in the Etherium Void Region. Let's wait for the other to finish their seclusion before we begin the plan." Maximus said, patting her head.
The plans to improve the Etherium Realm dimensional features and the creation of the Resource Dimension would take a lot of plane origin.
At this moment, the priority was for his family to have a rank 13 physique.
"Then, leave it to me."
With her current abilities, incorporating the entire Etherium Void Region into her control would be easy.
"Then I'll leave it to you..."
With the task handed over, Maximus returned to building the Ether Chips.
