Novel Full Chapter 511: Defending Base
10 years later…
In the core of the Shadow Oasis, a castle floated quietly.
Inside, Maximus was silently tempering his soul, when suddenly, an alarm blared.
“What happened, Wanderer?” he asked.
“A red danger level Void Fleet was detected!” Wanderer informed.
According to Maximus’ settings, there were three danger levels: green, red, and crimson black.
Green meant it was mostly Tier 10 and a few Tier 11 individuals on board.
Red indicated a threat of a Tier 11 individual who had at least mastered 50% of a River of Law.
Crimson Black meant a master of a river of law was detected, coming at them with an ill intent.
Over the years, most of the attacks on the Shadow Oasis, their stronghold, were merely green-level threats, which Wanderer handled easily.
“I can finally stretch my muscles and bones~” Maximus stood up, stretching his body.
Maximus and his wives became quite addicted to tempering their soul.
Feeling it grow stronger as their comprehension and will increased, they couldn’t stop and do other things.
Opening his system, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

thank you for using mv _l _e _mpy _r
River of Knowledge: 10%
Causality Points: 124 Billion
Causality Points (Corrupted): 2.99 Trillion]
“130 billion magnitude of soul, a 30% increase!” Maximus exclaimed.
With 1% mastery of the system, Maximus had the freedom to manipulate the system interface, allowing it to show what he wanted to know.
With the system bound to his very origin, every inch of his progress, from muscle fiber to the density of his origin, could be simulated.
“I’m about to have 3 trillion corrupted causality points! It seems my trip to the Silent Void Expanse was right,” he murmured, looking at how quickly he absorbed the soul pollution.
[+1000…+1000…+1000…+1000…]
With a Tier 12 soul-controlling array, Maximus could regulate how much soul pollution the soul pool emitted.
He could set it from ten to millions of units, but unfortunately, his ability and the materials had limits.
Thousands of units were already the maximum bearing capacity of the soul controlling array.
Anymore, and the array he set up would corrode and collapse.
Sighing at his lack of ability, Maximus exited his seclusion wanting to meet the enemy.
—
“We found a soul pool so easily? How lucky!” Alonsico, the captain of the fleet, muttered.
Having mastered 70% of the River of the Golden Tiger, he was yearning to conquer the Silent Void Expanse to further his power.
The River of the Golden Tiger was only a branch of the Ocean of Tiger, which was also branch of the Ocean of Beast.
Knowing his way to future was bleak, he didn’t gave up, wanting to gamble all his life in this place of miracles.
“Captain, according to our detection, the guardian of this stronghold is only at Tier 11 Realm, with 10% mastery of the River of Law!”
“With Captain power and might, this piece of land was as good as ours!”
“The Golden Tiger Fleet could finally have a piece of land in this world!”
The Golden Tiger crew was already celebrating thinking of their bright future.
“Calm down we hadn’t achieved anything yet.” Alonsico muttered with a smile flattered by their praise.
“Hahaha, it was only a matter of time, with the strength and potential of the Captain, nothing is impossible.”
“Alright enough, charge forward; leave the rest to me.”
However, just as they flew forward, a bunch of scouting ships bared them from moving.
“Warning! This is the Shadow Oasis!” Wanderer warned, while he waited for his Host.
“Hmph, A weakling had no right to occupy such a high level of resources. I’ll give you a chance to pack up and leave. Now go!”
“This is Shadow Oasis, trespassing is not allowed.” Wanderer repeated, not deterred by his words.
“Since you won’t take your chance then be buried with it. Fire! leave no one in sight!”
At Alonsico’s order, the fleet fired a salvo, aiming to destroy all the scout ship as well as the stronghold.
Wanderer predicted their actions and activated a defensive array, blocking the salvo of fire, preventing it from damaging the stronghold.
“Warning failed. Preparing for counterattack,” Wanderer thought as his internal processors moved into action.
Wanderer wasn’t weak. At Tier 11, most enemies wouldn’t stand a chance before him.
“Attack!”
With his order, the scouting ships transformed, bombarding them with a fierce counterattack.
Seeing this the Golden Tiger Void Fleet was shocked, hurriedly raising their defenses.
Unfortunately, they were too late as multiple ship was shot and destroyed.
“What?! A Tier 11 mechanical lifeform?!”
“Retreat, this is a private domain, the Shadow Oasis!” Wanderer warned as his eyes turn red.
“Hmph so what if you’re a mechanical life form?!” Although he was a little shocked, Alonsico quickly regained his composure.
Knowing he couldn’t fight with a mechanical life form using ships, Alonsico charged forward himself.
Identifying Wanderer’s real body, he attacked with full strength.
After a few exchanges, Wanderer was forced to retreat, unable to bear any of the attack.
“Heh! Just a metal garbage!” Alonsico sneered.
With his mastery over the river of golden tiger, a mere mechanical life form was insignificant.
Just as he was about to finish off Wanderer, he felt danger behind his back.
Blocking the attack, he was sent flying like a broken kite.
“Well, although it’s a metal garbage, it’s my kind of metal garbage…” Maximus smiled, looking at the battered Wanderer.
“Can you handle the rest?” he asked.
“Leave it to me, host!” Wanderer said solemnly.
Although a Tier 11 with 70% mastery of the River of Law was too much for him, the rest of the fleet could be destroyed easily.
Mobilizing a ship formation, Wanderer began attacking the Golden Tiger fleet.
“How dare you!” Alonsico shouted in anger, seeing his fleet under attack.
However, just as he was about to go back and help his men, Maximus blocked his path.
“How is it? Still think it’s just a metal garbage?” Maximus taunted.
“Retreat! Retreat! I’ll handle the enemy myself!” Alonsico ordered, not caring about his provocation.
After seeing them steadily retreat, Alonsico turned his attention to Maximus.
“Are you the master of this stronghold?”
“It’s me,”
“I see… Then prepare to die!”
Alonsico, on the verge of explosion from anger, couldn’t hold back any longer.
Mobilizing the River of the Golden Tiger, he flashed toward Maximus.
“Fast,” Maximus commented, estimating Alonsico’s speed.
“Hmph! Golden Tiger Whip!” With his tail lighting up, Alonsico whipped Maximus to the ground.
Bang!
Despite being at 100 times origin explosion, Maximus felt his hands go numb.
“Strong!” This time, Maximus couldn’t help but take the fight seriously.
Normally, a Tier 11 couldn’t withstand a single attack, but Alonsico promised a hearty fight.
“Come!” Maximus said, grinning as the fight intensified.
Alonsico began morphing into a giant golden tiger, as his magnitude of power began to rise.
300 trillion… 320 trillion… 350 trillion… 400 trillion…
Fighting until he was bruised and bloodied, felt unprecedented excitement instead of fear.
“This is what I call a fight!”
Slowly, Maximus began to match Alonsico’s power.
110 times… 120 times… 130 times… 140 times… 150 times…
As the fight raged on, Alonsico’s face started to be filled with unprecedented horror.
Though he had been suppressing Maximus, their states were the opposite–a hunter playing with its prey!
With over 500 trillion in magnitude of power, Alonsico’s body was on the verge of breaking.
“What’s wrong? Can’t take it anymore?” Maximus taunted.
Though the origin explosion put pressure on his body, Maximus could still fight for hours at this power level.
“Argh!” Alonsico roared, pushing the River of the Golden Tiger to its limits.
600 trillion… 700 trillion… 800 trillion… 900 trillion… 999 trillion!
With his body swelling with excessive power, Alonsico aimed to finish the battle with one final attack.
“Oh? Is this your limit?” Maximus sighed, a little disappointed.
“Die!” Alonsico roared, releasing all his power.
Watching an image of golden tiger charging at him, Maximus felt a thrill of danger.
“Over a quadrillion in magnitude of power… how majestic!”
Not daring to be careless, Maximus activated a thousandfold origin explosion.
With 2.1 trillion base power multiplied a thousand times, Maximus extended his hand, turning it into a fist.
Facing the giant punch, the golden tiger began to break and collapse.
Before Alonsico could react, he was quickly swallowed by the attack.
The fist, still carrying immense power, continued to destroy everything in its path–from the retreating Golden Tiger Void Fleet to the obsidian-like land below, forming a massive crater.
“Huh~” Huffing in exhaustion, Maximus collapsed onto the ground.
“Using this kind of power was more dangerous than I thought…” Maximus murmured, feeling his origin crack and batter.
The last time he used an origin explosion of this magnitude was in a virtual trial.
Since it was a virtual world, all the damage was repaired instantly.
But now, Maximus was facing the consequences of his carelessness.
“A thousandfold origin explosion was too much!”
If he had known better, 500 times would’ve sufficed.
Estimating the injury, Maximus realized he might not be able to fight for a few years.
Smiling wryly, he ordered Wanderer to take him back to the castle, to injured to move.
