Chapter 382 The Greedy Fairy
Chapter 382 The Greedy Fairy
A few moments later, Maximus opened his eyes.
"Huh~ Still alive..."
His 'Origin' didn't seem too damaged.
His domain, spirit, soul, and law were still working, quickly giving him an infusion to wake up.
Struggling, he got up looking around the battlefield.
"It's gone!" Maximus thought with a sigh of relief.
The weird portal containing a great horror was finally gone.
Thinking of his near-death experience, he couldn't help but sigh.
"It seems that my strength is still weak..."
He thought that even if he couldn't fight a being at tier 11, there wouldn't be a problem repelling or escaping from it.
However, based on his experience earlier, he was like a powerless baby in front of such an enemy.
Just the presence of the enemy nearly paralyzed him to the ground.
"As expected of a titled abyss creature, they're too strong!" Maximus comforted himself.
Titled abyss creatures were different from other tier 11 beings; they were invincible in their realm, similar to the tier 10 abyss gods.
It's already shocking that he could still stand under its presence and attack.
Thinking of this, Maximus heaved a sigh of relief.
He nearly went awry, breaking his invincible heart.
Looking around, he seemed to be in the void.
The Abyssal Array barrier had long been destroyed.
The land he was lying on was just a piece of the abyss he had cut off.
The moment he combined 1,118 essences of law to attack, he cut off the battlefield so the abyss wouldn't get caught in the attack.
Looking at the vast empty void, he realized how insignificant he was.
As depicted in the book, the void is not empty; it's just big.
Far away, he saw great dimensions like lights in the dark.
No matter how far he was, their size was ever-changing, as if they could be touched with just a stretch of a hand.
However, based on what he studied, the closest tier 12 dimension to the Etherium Realm was 3 billion Dimensional Parsecs away.
Dimensional Parsec is the unit of measurement used in the alliance, with 1 Dimensional Parsec being equal to the size of a tier 12 dimension.
Such an unimaginable distance yet so close, just proves how great a tier 12 dimension is.
After scanning the void, he found the abyss dimension as it eroded the Etherium Realm.
"So that's the abyss..." Maximus muttered.
From afar, it looked like chaotic dark matter swallowing all the light and energy around it.
It was like a black hole, yet formless like smoke.
In front of the abyss was the Etherium Realm.
Different from the abyss, the Etherium Realm was like a blue jewel shining in the dark.
Ninety-nine percent of the Etherium Realm was a chaotic sea.
If someone saw it from the void, they might mistakenly think of it as an ocean dimension.
Unfortunately, besides chaotic beasts, life couldn't survive inside the chaotic sea.
Admiring his home dimension, he thought of a way to come back.
"About 0.012 Dimensional Parsec..."
It seemed that his attack had launched him too far; it would take a few years to return the usual way.
Thinking of Jixie, he removed the ban on the Nexus Virtual Gateway.
Not trusting the Transdimensional System, unless needed Maximus always kept it banned.
"Huh? Why are you in the void, host?" Jixie asked, seeing the place.
"An Abyss God accidentally hit me," Maximus lied with a straight face.
"Are you alright, host? Why are you so unlucky?" Jixie asked, looking at him worriedly.
This was her patron saint, the source of her wealth; she couldn't let anything happen to Maximus.
As a Fairy Guide, although Maximus didn't need to pay her a salary, all his transactions using the transdimensional system would give her a cut converted into fairy coins.
Usually, when her host banned her, he was in the fmFairy Dimension showing off to her sisters.
Seeing her patron saint so unlucky, she nearly had a heart attack.
"Alright, don't ask too much. Just take me back to the abyss. Can you do that?"
"Of course, host! However, as this is spontaneous void teleportation, the cost will be ten times."
"Whatever, just take me back..." Maximus was too lazy to pay attention to such a small amount of money.
To travel from one dimension to another, one only needed coordinates and about 1 billion dimensional coins.
Compared to the amount he usually spent, it was nothing.
"Alright, host, get ready!"
Manipulating the void, a wormhole sucked Maximus out, directly teleporting him back to the abyss.
...
"Huh~ That was quick," Maximus muttered in satisfaction, seeing he was back.
"Of course, host! This cost 10 sextillion dimensional coins!" Jixie said proudly.
"10 sextillion? Isn't it 10 billion?"
"Host, that was dimensional teleportation. What we did is void teleportation."
"Because there is no stable energy around, we can only use the dimensional coins as backup energy," Jixie explained.
"Is that so?" Maximus frowned.
It seemed that he still had a lot to study.
Earlier, he had just studied the history, top forces, and rules of the dimensional alliance.
As for the prices, hidden functions, various events, available materials, etc., he was still clueless.
"Never mind," Maximus muttered as he turned his attention to the abyss.
Spreading his domain, it was suddenly stuck like a rusty door.
As he spread it wider, his body started to hurt while his 'Origin' showed signs of being damaged.
"My Domain is out of order," Maximus frowned.
"Jixie, can you scan the abyss and project it to me?"
"Sure, host, as this is a—"
"Just tell me the price," Maximus said impatiently.
He already knew the routine of this Nexus Fairy: as long as you have money, it can do anything.
"It would be 1 billion dimensional coins per light year, host!"
"How much is it to view the battlefield between the Apex Sovereigns and the Abyss Monarchs?"
"Based on the scan, the battlefield area is 142,583 light years."
"Only 142 trillion? Scan it for me." Hearing it was so cheap, he quickly instructed Jixie to project the battlefield.
Soon, a projection appeared before him.
Jixie, being a good service provider, also edited and focused on the exciting fights.
"You're quite good at this," Maximus praised.
"Hehe, as long as you pay, host!" Jixie said with a wink.
On the screen, the desperate Apex Sovereigns were teaming up to fight for their lives.
Each Abyss Monarchs was surrounded by at least a hundred Apex Sovereigns employing all kinds of tricks.
From weird curses, poison, arrays, conjunction attacks, to mental assaults such as curses and insults.
"What an interesting way to fight."
Normally, an Apex soveryeign had no way of fighting head-on with an Abyss Monarch.
But these tricksters had brilliant minds.
Since they couldn't fight head-on, they went to kite the Abyss Monarchs to death.
Instead of competing with strength, they fought to see who could last standing.
The Apex Sovereigns had Maximus as their backing, so they didn't have to worry about energy deficiency.
As for the Abyss Monarchs, without the backup from the Main Abyss Dimension, they could only rely on this abyss plane.
Before invading the abyss, Maximus bound the Apex Sovereigns, giving them an infinite supply of Amalgamation of Will.
After crystallizing the Amalgamation of Will, Maximus could freely convert it to any energy, from the essence of law to faith energy.
With a seemingly infinite supply of energy, the Apex Sovereigns didn't have to worry about anything but attacking.
He didn't expect they would abuse it, dragging the Abyss Monarchs to death.
Feeling the rapidly flowing Amalgamation of Will being drained from him, he frowned in distress.
By his estimate, each Apex Sovereign used hundreds of billions of units of Amalgamation of Will each second.
Furthermore, seeing Malgron, Fealan, Alabaster, and Readius going crazy fighting multiple abyss monarchs at once made him cringe.
Different from the rest, these bastards directly converted the Amalgamation of Will to Origin power.
Like coal powering a nuclear reactor, his poor Amalgamation of Will was getting sucked out of existence just to fuel their fighting.
While the thousands of Apex Sovereigns only used about hundreds of trillions of Amalgamation of Will each second.
These bastards used hundreds of quadrillion units of Amalgamation of Will each second.
Overall, to maintain their fighting intensity, he was spending tens of sextillion units of amalgamation of will.
"What a bunch of brutes!" Maximus cursed.
"Why, host? It seems like they were doing well!" Jixie said, admiring the warriors of the Etherium realm.
"Unfortunately, they couldn't win..." Jixie commented.
She had seen more despicable and ingenious ways of fighting than these.
Using traps, numbers, disguising moves, yet even if there were thousands of tier 9 individuals teaming up, they still couldn't defeat the Abyss Monarch.
Invincibility couldn't just be defeated by numbers.
"How do you say so?"
No matter how strong a lion is, as long as it is trapped in an iron cage, it would starve to death.
Without a source, these Abyss Monarchs would be exhausted sooner or later.
Although it would cost a lot of energy, as long as they won, Maximus would just grit his teeth and pay.
"It seems that you are quite confident, host!" Jixie said, looking at his smile.
"Haha, we'll see..."
