Chapter 477: Tier 10 Etherium Realm
“I feel powerful…” Etheria muttered, unsure of what to say.
As a dimensional origin restricted by rules, without the Etherium Realm, her power was insignificant.
She couldn’t even harm the people in her world.
Using the manual given by her dimensional master, Etheria felt alive as the restrictions of the dimensional rules began to weaken.
Etheria realized she could now leave her world and travel to others.
Seeing Etheria in a daze, marveling at her newfound power, Maximus used his dimensional authority to observe her transformation.
His dimensional authority allowed him to have the same ability as Etheria, feeling her changes, Maximus couldn’t help but smile.
First, Etheria was no longer just a dimensional will—an entity that merely managed worlds with little to no consciousness, worse than even wandering spirits and souls.
This was why Maximus had been somewhat uninterested in her; she had been like a robot, following orders and bound by rules.
Now, with her will and consciousness starting to form, Maximus couldn’t help but feel pleased.
The second change was her power.
As a tier 9 dimensional will, even without the Etherium Realm’s enhancements, Etheria now possessed an immense power of tens of millions of magnitudes.
If she gathered the full power of the Etherium Realm, perhaps she could even crush a tier 11 powerhouse instead of merely repelling one.
Moreover, Etheria’s control over the Etherium Realm had improved.
Not only could she independently use the world’s power to create rare materials, treasure, small worlds, etc., she could also summon an entire army on her own.
At the Etherium Realm’s current standing, Etheria could create pseudo-tier 9 powerhouses at the cost of just a few origin fragments.
With such power, Etheria was practically a military breeding ground.
As for treasure, beside ultimate treasures that require all laws and even conceptual power, she could copy all tier 0-9 treasure residing in her world.
Thinking about it, Etheria was beginning to resemble the Abyss Will, the strongest tier 11 entity in the Aeon Plane.
Despite the Abyss Will not being a tier 12 overlord, it could still lead its dimension to become one of the three main enemies of the Dimensional Alliance.
With infinite dimensional expansion, infinite soldier creation, devouring power, and an unkillable nature, the Abyss Will was unrivaled.
If not for the presence of three overlords in the Dimensional Alliance, the Abyss Will might have already ruled the Aeon Plane, even as only a tier 11 dimensional will.
Dimensional wills were considered a scourge within the plane—anomalies that shouldn’t exist.
With the power to cause destruction and imbalance, the Aeon Plane heavily suppressed the appearance and development of dimensional wills, chaining them with rules and restrictions, locking away their consciousness, and making them puppets to the plane’s whims.
The Abyss Will was the first to break free from these restrictions, developing its consciousness and raising its world single-handedly until it reached the top.
Unfortunately, the rules of the Aeon Plane were still unbreakable.
No matter how powerful or influential the Abyss Will became, it remained locked at the tier 11 level.
Yet, seeing Etheria, Maximus’s eyes twinkled with curiosity, wondering just how high she could rise.
Not only did the Origin Manual make her stronger, but it also unlocked her limiters.
From now on, as long as she continued to live and grow, Etheria could surpass any limits and advance beyond the rules that once restricted her.
This was the true power of the Origin Manual—an ultimate technique that separated one’s origin from the rules, restrictions, and limitations imposed by the world.
Watching Etheria as she began to sow seeds of emotions, Maximus couldn’t help but sigh.
“Don’t you still have work to do?” Maximus asked.
He had given Etheria the Origin Manual mainly to help her devour the Abyss more quickly.
The other effects were just a happy accident for now.
“I can now absorb the Abyss remotely,” Etheria muttered, still somewhat robotic.
“I can stay by the host side from now on.”
Seeing the developing emotions in her eyes, Maximus couldn’t bring himself to send her away.
Turning to his wives, he asked if it was okay for Etheria to stay with them.
“Don’t worry, it’s fine to have Etheria with us. It’ll be more fun~” they replied, looking at him mischievously.
“What fun?” Etheria asked, sensing their emotions differed from her understanding of ‘fun’.
“Hehe, with more girls, we can explore more… activities~” Luna teased, gliding her fingers across Etheria’s skin, testing its smoothness.
“Such supple skin~” Livia muttered, comparing it with her own.
“Don’t be naughty. Etheria is different,” Maximus muttered, knowing what was on their minds.
“What’s the matter? Can you bear to send away such a beautiful woman right into your arms?” Freya chided, seeing Maximus act as if he were innocent.
He dared to take her and her little sister, Lilith—how could she bear for Etheria, the uncrowned queen of the Etherium Realm, to be left out?
“You don’t have to listen to them, Etheria. They’re only joking,” Maximus advised, not wanting Etheria to be led astray.
“Hmph! Etheria, don’t listen to your master. He’s two-faced. What he says isn’t what he thinks,” Jane muttered, recalling how Maximus seduced her and Emma.
“Enough of that. Come, Etheria, let’s show you the ropes~” Erica murmured, dragging Etheria toward Maximus.
Feeling curious, Etheria slowly walked toward Maximus, wanting to explore her newly awakened emotions.
“You all…” Maximus sighed, filled with happiness.

Five Hundred Years Later
At the clap of thunder, the entire Etherium Realm began shaking, and the skies warped as if signaling the end of the world.
Towering tsunamis and hurricanes, along with the panic and surge of monsters, began to wreak havoc across the Etherium Realm.
Yet despite this chaos, the people of the Etherium Realm remained calm, even a little excited.
Through the years under the rule of the Etherium Alliance, the Supreme Sovereign of the land, their Dimensional Master, had never let them down.
Every time a world-altering phenomenon happened within the Etherium Realm, it was always for the benefit of the world.
Noticing this change, much grander than anything they had seen before, with mana density shooting through the roof, the people couldn’t help but turn their eyes to the sky, watching the world evolve to a higher dimension.
A year later, as catastrophes continued to play out across the world, the mana density and law energy of the Etherium Realm reached its peak.
With a loud explosion, inaudible to the people, the Etherium Realm began expanding like a balloon being filled with air.
At the center of the Etherium Realm, the Abyssal Lands, purified by Etheria, began merging with the lands won in the dimensional war.
The core of the abyss that couldn’t be purified was preserved by Etheria and placed at the bottom of the newly emerged land, intending to make it into a dungeon as per her master’s instructions.
The new land, as large as a fourth of the Etherium Realm, caused the seas to surge and fill the blank areas of the slowly expanding Etherium Realm.
As this happened, the residual chaotic energy present around the world surged, creating new materials, species, monsters, plants, and more.
Despite the massive changes, the four massive continents remained steady, like spectators watching the world blaze and evolve.
However, amidst their calm, the Star Lords scattered across the seas were having a hard time.
Towering waves and surging currents tossed their islands like balls at the mercy of the world’s whims.
Fortunately, the originator of their profession, the dimensional master of the Etherium Realm, didn’t let them die.
Activating a mighty barrier, they were able to swirl through the sea without encountering any damage.

In the Shadowcrest Castle, Maximus and his wives watched the transformation of the world.
Etheria was already at the core of the Etherium Realm, manipulating the land, reconstructing the world as it evolved.
Just as they marveled at the world’s changes, Maximus noticed beings being born on the new continent.
“The innate creatures of the Etherium Realm?” Maximus thought.
Innate creatures were those born at the creation or the beginning of a world.
Unfortunately, since the Etherium Realm was an artificial dimension, it had never given birth to a new innate creature before.
Advancing to a tier-10 dimension, the Etherium Realm had finally fixed this shortcoming and successfully birthed its own innate beings.
Sensing the origin of these innate creatures, a flicker of interest appeared in his eyes.
“A creature of magic, faith, will, wildness, and blood?”
The magic of the Arcane Continent, the faith of the Divine Continent, the will of the Astral Continent, the wildness of the Beast Continent, and even the noble blood of the fallen gods from the Blood Ragnarok Realm were concentrated in one body.
“Did Etheria succeed?!” Maximus thought excitedly.
This was the ultimate creature he had hoped for—intelligent, loyal, have an iron will, have incredible fighting instinct, and potential that could be passed down and improve from generation after generation.
He hoped for a perfect being that would elevate the Etherium Realm and keep up with his ambitions.
“The Eryndor race, the legacy, heroes, and protectors of the Etherium Realm… How fitting…”
