Novel Full Chapter 482: Flirting With Iris
In the Astral Continent, Maximus and his wives, who were tracking the Eryndor’s progress, couldn’t help but feel emotional.
“In ten thousand years, they reached the Tier 7 realm in terms of strength and technology. I wonder how far they will grow,” Lilith said in admiration.
The others also nodded in wonder.
Starting from scratch and ignorant of everything, reaching such heights in just ten thousand years was remarkable.
“It’s hard to say. After all, there is a limit to innate intelligence and potential. What comes next will depend on their luck and wit,” Maximus commented.
Each Eryndor had Grade 9 potential, partially awakening a mortal physique at birth.
With the initial abilities they possessed, they were invincible in the early stages.
They could even enhance their unique abilities with each advancement, eventually reaching the dimensional rank.
It could be said their starting position was already at the peak of the world.
Even among the top races in the dimensional alliance, they would still be one of the best.
Unfortunately, one can’t brute force their way to the top with talent alone; resources, luck, opportunities, temperament, and ability are all needed to reach the peak of the realm.
From Tier 8 to Tier 10, one would start comprehending laws.
At this stage, talent no longer matters, except for laying a foundation and enhancing combat ability.
“You don’t have to be so pessimistic. They are still more talented than 99 percent of individuals in the Etherium Realm. With such a large population, one of them will achieve something sooner or later.”
“Hahaha, then I look forward to that future.”
After discussing the potential of the Eryndor race, they began asking Maximus, Skye, and Lilith for advice for the Virtual Tower tier 9 trials.
In the thousand years that passed in the Etherium Realm, his wives had already reached the peak of the Tier 9 realm.
With a power of tens of millions of magnitudes, their bodies were already saturated and could no longer accumulate more energy.
Initially, they could advance with just a thought, but not wanting to miss the benefits they would gain from the Virtual Tower, they held off on advancing.
The causality of evolution in the Virtual Tower, once they reached a certain floor, might be enough to push their physiques to the ultimate level.
Over the years, Maximus took them to the Sterling Virtual Domain in disguise to harmonize their physiques to the peak of the dimensional realm.
Just a little push, and they could have an ultimate physique.
Unfortunately, Maximus couldn’t afford to use causality points to push their physiques to another level.
The causality points his system collected had to be used wisely.
Besides using them to create Tier 9 liquid solutions, Maximus was planning to save causality points to upgrade his physique to Rank 12.
A Rank 12 dimension source would give him unlimited origin source, potentially making him the richest in the Aeon Plane.
From then on, money would no longer be a problem, as he could essentially print it himself.
Holding onto such a future, his wives could only strive for their own progress.
With their strength and foundation, they should be able to ascend to higher floors than Skye and Lilith.
Giving his wives some treasures for luck, he waved them goodbye.
Skye and Lilith also went into seclusion, hoping to advance to the Tier 10 realm before their return.
Etheria also became busy, modifying the rules of the Chaotic Continent before it officially opened.
Looking at the empty room, Maximus was alone again.
He was still far from advancing to the Tier 10 realm.
Although they all used the same origin manual, their physiques, foundations, and priorities were different.
According to his calculations, it would take him about a thousand more years to reach the peak of the Tier 9 realm.
As for advancing to Tier 10, Maximus could only dream.
He had just comprehended the Tier 10 chapter of the foundational manuals he got from the top sects.
As for piecing it together and creating his own, Maximus still had a long way to go.
Turning his attention to the ongoing dimensional war, Maximus smiled.
“Still winning…”
Besides the three losses at the beginning, the Etherium Realm had started to suppress the enemy.
Without any changes, it was only a matter of time before they acquired 50% of the Blood Ragnarok Realm’s territory.
After that, it was only a matter of opening a void gate and suppressing the enemy in one fell swoop.
Not having much to do, Maximus felt a little lonely.
“How about I visit the Immortal Palace Realm?” Maximus thought, missing Iris.
Not having seen her for over a thousand years, Maximus felt something was missing.
Deciding on the matter, Maximus quickly prepared and left a notification for his son Liam to contact him if anything uncontrollable happened in the Etherium Realm.
Being lazy, Maximus had delegated all his work to his diligent son, Liam.
Besides managing the Moonlight Empire, Liam was also the pseudo-supreme leader controlling the Etherium Alliance.
Fealan, Alabaster, and Readius were too busy with their battles against the Blood Ragnarok Realm.
The various benefits they could gain from the Etherium Alliance weren’t worth much of their effort.
As long as their territories were managed properly, they didn’t care if they lost some benefits.
Liam was also trustworthy and was slightly better than them at managing things.
Despite the ongoing war and various disasters happening in the Etherium Realm, it was still steadily developing under his care.
After instructing Liam and Etheria on what to do, Maximus quickly leaped through a void portal to the Immortal Palace Realm.
…
“Hmm, Maximus? Why is he here?” Iris thought, noticing the fluctuations of his aura.
“I’m here~” Maximus mouthed, knowing Iris could see him.
Waving her hand, Iris teleported Maximus before her.
“What are you doing here? To see your daughter?” Iris asked sarcastically, thinking Maximus hadn’t visited her in thousands of years.
“There’s that… but I’m mainly here to see you,” Maximus said, a little presumptuously.
After undergoing training from his wives and Etheria for thousands of years, Maximus had become somewhat immune to Iris’s charm.
“Oh? You’re here for me?” Iris muttered in surprise, hiding a bit of joy.
“Hmm, how could I not miss such a beauty?” Maximus added, seeing Iris wasn’t angry.
He didn’t want to accidentally provoke such a powerful being. Once Iris became angry, she could erase him with a wave of her hand.
“Naughty~ Since you’ve visited me, how about we have some drinks?” Iris invited.
“Sure~”
Accepting Iris’s offer, the two began drinking tea, talking casually about various professions and current events on the Aeon Plane.
As time passed, Maximus grew bolder, often touching Iris’s hand as they joked.
Anything more would have been too stimulating and dangerous.
After they grew tired of talking, the two started playing games.
As they played, Maximus thought he could rile her up and bet to win some treasures.
Who knew he would lose miserably?
Despite having transcendent mastery of the game, using the system to accelerate his consciousness and the Seal of Truth to confirm his every move, he still lost.
“Don’t feel down. You did great. If you entered a dimensional competition, you might even win a few championships,”.
“How did you do it?”
Unless Iris had ultimate mastery over the game, he couldn’t have lost.
But how was that possible? It was just a common game in the Dimensional Alliance.
No one would waste their precious time mastering it to such an ultimate level.
“I saw that you used treasures to accelerate time and pierce through the truth. But didn’t you know time and truth are relative? There is no absolute time or truth; what you see may be wrong to others.”
“Hmm?” Maximus hummed, unsure of what she meant.
“It’s the Ocean of Law. It allows me to think as fast as I can. As for the truth, with my power, I just need to block and revise what you deduce.”
“You’re cheating!”
“What is cheating and what is not? As long as I stay within the game’s rules, I can do whatever I want,” Iris smiled mischievously, seeing his frustration.
“I don’t want to play anymore. You’re too much,” Maximus complained, like a child wanting comfort from his sister.
“Alright, alright. Let’s play a different game. This time, I’ll suppress my abilities to match yours, and you’re not allowed to use treasures or abilities either.”
“Since Sister Iris said so, I’ll be gentlemanly.”
“Sister?” Iris muttered, a little embarrassed by the title.
“Can’t I call you sister?” Maximus asked sweetly.
“Since you’re so insistent, I’ll allow it~” Iris said, smiling helplessly.
However, if others knew this, they would applaud Maximus for his boldness and fearlessness.
Calling Iris ‘sister’ was no different from a death wish.
Some time ago, one of the top sect leaders, a Tier 11 powerhouse who mastered the power of the Ocean of Law, dared to call Iris by an endearment, which almost caused a war between sects.
Being able to keep his life, Maximus could already consider himself lucky.
“Then let’s play another game, Sister Iris…”
