As Maximus exiled all powerhouses who couldn’t kneel before him, every other irrelevant individual was also expelled to the void.
Beside him, only the entities of law who are tasked to oversee the succession of the Master of the Aeon Plane remained.
On the throne of the Aeon Plane, feeling the overwhelming power and control, Maximus felt slightly dazed.
Seated on the throne, he sensed he could create and destroy anything he desired.
With every breath he took, every law, origin, and causality followed his movements, as if they were extensions of his limbs.
Snapping out of his daze, Maximus recalled his purpose.
To become the plane master, to advance to the overlord realm, and to dispel all dangers and disasters befalling the Aeon Plane.
"How do I merge with this throne?" Maximus asked, turning to the entities of law prostrating before him.
Although he already possessed the power of the plane master, it was only while seated on the throne.
Once he left, his power would revert to its prior state.
"This is the method to fully integrate with the Throne of the Aeon Plane," the entity of origin said, sending him a stream of information.
"Hmm?" Reading the process, Maximus couldn’t help but frown.
The method required merging his will, spirit, soul, law, energy, physique, path, source, and core of origin with the Aeon Plane.
To become the master of the plane, he had to become one with it.
Becoming one with the Aeon Plane granted endless power, energy, and an immortal life.
As long as the plane wasn’t destroyed, they couldn’t be killed either.
The problem was that one would also be bound to the Aeon Plane.
Their advancement, strength, and life would depend on it. If the Aeon Plane grew strong, they would too; if it weakened, so would they.
Furthermore, being bound to the Aeon Plane would limit their movement. From then on, they could only roam around the plane, locked in a prison with no escape.
This might not bother others, but for him, it was an unnecessary shackle that limited his potential.
Urging the True Path, he spent trillions of plane origin to wish for an alternative method.
Soon, the method for his perfect advancement underwent slight adjustments, altering the process of merging with the Throne of the Aeon Plane.
Instead of using it as an integral piece, it was treated as a supplement to his perfect advancement.
This way, he wouldn’t be bound to the Aeon Plane, even if he merged with it.
The only drawback was that the advancement was harder, longer, riskier, and weakened his control.
Unlike becoming an alternate body, it would be an external extension of him.
Furthermore, as an external extension, the energy and effort needed to advance the Aeon Plane multiplied several times.
Still, it could provide him with endless power, energy, and the immortality of the plane.
Removing the shackles in exchange for mere difficulty, Maximus was more than willing.
Having found an alternative method, he focused on his advancement to the Overlord Realm.
Among the requirements, he still lacked two pieces.
The Fruit of All Law and the Archon of Knowledge.
Urging the power of the Throne of the Aeon Plane, an invisible hand opened the primordial origin realm as if unlocking a treasure vault.
Grabbing every Fruit of Law at the bottom of the sea of origin, the entities of law watched in shock.
Like a bandit raiding his own house, Maximus spared no treasure or material in the primordial origin realm.
Just as they were about to warn him that it would harm the growth of the Aeon Plane, Maximus returned the rest of the treasures and materials, keeping only the Fruits of Law.
"152,600 Fruits of Law... 9,202 are still missing..."
Mobilizing the True Path, he tried to generate the missing Fruits of Law.
"A billion units of plane origin..."
Seeing it cost only a billion units of plane origin to generate each Fruit of Law, Maximus was a little surprised.
It seemed the enhancement of the Throne of the Aeon Plane was more powerful than he thought.
From needing a trillion to just a billion, his power had multiplied at least ten times!
Possessing strength that surpassed even an Overlord, multiplying it tenfold meant Maximus wielded power bordering that of an Archon!
This was while he was still at the tier 11 realm. Once he truly advanced to the Overlord realm, his power would likely reach the peak of the Archons in an instant!
Excited by such a prospect, he began generating the missing Fruits of Law one by one.
Missing 9,202 Fruits of Law, he only needed 9.2 trillion units of plane origin to complete them.
With quadrillions of units of plane origin, this was no issue.
Soon, to the shock of the entities of law, they saw Maximus generate each missing Fruit of Law with his bare hands.
One must understand that a Fruit of Law was a unique treasure, born only once in a plane.
Once someone consumed it, they had to be killed for another similar fruit to appear.
Watching Maximus break this rule, the entities of law felt stunned, as if witnessing a miracle.
Unfazed by their shock, Maximus swiftly generated all 9,202 Fruits of Law.
Having reached such a strength, he no longer cared if others knew his ability.
Even an Archon appeared before him now, he could fight it without losing.
After generating the missing Fruits of Law, he turned his attention to the Absolute of Knowledge.
To transform it into the Archon of Knowledge, it needed to digest information beyond the plane’s level.
The only source with such vast knowledge was the Heavenly Library.
Containing nearly all knowledge and information in the Planar Chaos Region, it was more than enough to elevate his Absolute of Knowledge to the Archon of Knowledge.
Borrowing the tier 13 chaos-level treasure, the Heavenly System, from Nero, Maximus began to deduce how to break its second encryption.
From the first encryption, all-knowing, to the second encryption, omniscient.
Maximus began using the True Path and hundreds of trillions of units of plane origin to uncover the second-level encryption.
