Novel Full Chapter 514: Escape
aximus no longer tolerated Kares and launched an attack.
Using Origin Explosion, his power skyrocketed a thousandfold in an instant.
Facing the attack, Kares recoiled out with a surprise expression.
“What power! Is this an ultimate-grade secret technique?”
Even as a master of a River of Law, the maximum amplification one could achieve was typically only a hundred times.
Experiencing such an attack, Kares sobered up.
“You’re good,” Kares muttered solemnly looking at Maximus.
Seeing Kares dodge his attack so effortlessly, Maximus also grew serious.
He hadn’t expected his power to be ineffective.
By his feeling, Kares should only possess about a quadrillion magnitude of power.
His attack should have at least injured Kares.
Reverting to his normal state, Maximus mind began to deduce various way he could defeat Kares.
Learning from his fight with the Golden Tiger years ago, Maximus knew better not to stay in a constant state of origin explosion.
Having fully mastered his powers, he could freely switch between amplified and normal states.
As they face off, his wives quickly stepped back, preparing to retreat or assist Maximus at a moment notice.
Maximus was up against a master of a River of Law—a top powerhouse only few in the Aeon Plane.
According to records, only a few millions of such masters existed in the Dimensional Alliance.
Although they had blind confidence to their Husband, they didn’t want to hold him back once the skirmish started.
“Well, have you made up your mind? As the Captain of this Interdimensional Fleet, I can grant you anything you desire…” Kares muttered coldly, seeing Maximus continued to be silent.
The thousand-fold amplification should be the limitation of his power.
Knowing the difference between their strength, Kares thought Maximus was willing to compromise.
Furthermore, although he wanted to seize Maximus’s wives outright, it would tarnish the reputation of the Interdimensional Council.
Kares preferred to turn this into a formal transaction if possible.
“You’re dreaming!” Maximus growled, clenching his teeth as he considered his options—whether to kill or escape.
Based on his deductions, killing Kares would put Maximus on the Interdimensional Council’s wanted list.
Not only would their lives in the Silent Void Expanse turn to worse, it might also be a fuse that could make him the enemy of the Interdimensional Council in the future.
On the other hand, escaping would only leave the covetous Kares on his tails.
Once Maximus was sure that he could hide all the traces of their fight, he could kill Kares without any following consequences.
However, escaping now would be humiliating and might interfere with his mind, potentially affecting his path in the future.
After all, how could he call himself a man if he let his wives be bullied, escaping with a tail between his legs?
Meanwhile, the guests had noticed the commotion.
“The Captain is trying to claim what he wants from a passenger? Is this moral?”
“Tsk. Typical of the Interdimensional Council—they claim whatever they desire.”
“What?! Isn’t the Interdimensional Council the most orderly force? Even most of the Dimensional Alliance territory was being manage by them in orderly manner.”
“Yeah right, that’s because the physical plane of the Dimensional Alliance was their territory, so of course they were the only one eligible to manage them.”
“As for being orderly? Sure, as long as you are obedient as a dog and don’t touch their interest, you’re up to a good hand.”
“What hypocrites. They enforce rules but don’t follow them. They say it’s to protect the weak, but in reality, it’s to protect their interest.”
“Are they really that bad?” a guest still couldn’t believe the fact and ask in doubt.
According to records the territory manage by the Interdimensional Council was a heaven.
No matter poor or rich, weak or strong, everyone was equal, whether in opportunity or life.
“Hmph, beneath such a righteous mask was a hell, much worse than the Devourers!”
“Well at least everyone was equal to each other, as long as you don’t offend those big shots, everything should be fine.”
“Equality? The greatest inequality in the world is everyone being equal. No matter how talented you are, how hard you work, and how much sacrifice you make, it would equal to nothing because everyone was supposed to be equal.”
“In such a world, you would be like a herd of sheep, raising to be slaughtered, eating the same fodder and grazing the same grass.”
Hearing this the crowd grew silent, clenching their fist.
Although they knew of this principle, who could really break such binding?
They were only a tier 10 and tier 11 weaklings; much less change the rules, they could barely change their own life.
Watching a civilian and an official face each other, they couldn’t help but cheer for Maximus.
While the guests gossiped, Kares finally lost patience.
Since Maximus couldn’t make a choice, he would choose for him.
“Come here and be obedient; In exchange I can let the others leave safety,” Kares coaxed, pointing at Lilith.
“Husband…” Lilith shrank back, hiding behind Maximus.
Hearing her plight, Maximus already decided what to do, Kill.
“Ten-thousandfold amplification!”
With his power reaching over twenty quadrillion, Maximus flashed beside Kares, aiming to cleave him in two.
Unfortunately, Kares was fast and dodged to the side.
However, Maximus’s strike still managed to sever his arm, while the residual energy from the attack carved a long slash through the dimensional ship.
[WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!]
[The Interdimensional Ship is under attack. Unrelated individuals, please evacuate!]
Hearing this, the crowd who still had the mood to gossip was already fleeing into panic.
What they thought was mere bravado had escalated into a real fight.
They hadn’t expected Maximus to really attack a Ship Captain of the Interdimensional Council.
Taking out their void ships, they fled without anymore hesitation.
But others weren’t so lucky.
Maximus’s attack was so powerful that even a mere residual aura pulverized their bodies.
[The Red-level danger is marked. Preparing to fire…]
“Stop!” Kares ordered, holding his severed arm.
He didn’t want his prey to accidentally die of the interdimensional ship attack.
Such a devastating strike could even take him down.
[Ship Commander order priority: Cease fire…]
Heaving a sigh of relief, Kares turned his attention to his arm, attempting to heal it.
Unfortunately, even with the power of the River of Law, his severed arm didn’t react.
When he tried to generate a new arm, it quickly shriveled, like a dried skin without blood and bones.
“Huh? An origin-level attack?” he muttered solemnly.
An origin level attack was not pertaining to the use of origin of law, but an attack that directly target the origin.
Getting hit by an attack like this was extremely difficult, if not impossible, to heal.
Scoffing, he discarded the severed arm and looked at Maximus.
“How did you do it?”
Now Kares was more curious than ever about this man called Magnus.
With a companion with such pure soul energy, coupled with a seemingly limitless forbidden technique for amplification, Kares was beginning to reconsider his approach.
“The dead doesn’t need to know…” Maximus replied coldly.
Though Kares had dodged his strike, Maximus still had plenty left to spare.
Even if he sacrificed his life, he would ensure this bastard’s downfall.
“You really are an irritating creature…”
Releasing his aura, a mirage of River of Soul light began to bear down on Maximus and his wives.
The sheer pressure nearly drove Maximus to his knees as he struggled to shield his wives.
“Now, it’s to die…” With a growl, Kares magnitude of power began to increase.
From 3.5 quadrillion… to 3.9 quadrillion… 5 quadrillion… chapter hosted on m,vle-mpyr
In an instant, Kares power skyrocketed to over 100 quadrillion magnitude of power.
Just to hold on, Maximus needed a thousandfold amplification.
Feeling his origin start to crack, Maximus decided to end the fight as quickly as possible.
“Now, die!” Kares stretched his palm forward, aiming to crush Maximus like an ant.
“No, it’s you who will die!”
“100,000 Origin Explosion!”
With his power surging past 200 quadrillion, Maximus felt his origin begin to split and fracture.
Wasting no time, he flashed forward, determined to finish Kares in one strike.
Kares also quickly sensed Maximus’s rapid spike in power.
“You can still explode?!” Kares exclaimed, his face filled with shock and disbelief.
Hastily, he abandoned his physical body, concealing his origin into the mirage of river of soul light.
Such an attack was beyond the capacity of any master of river of law.
Likely, only his master could withstand it.
Bang!
As the attack landed, Kares’s body disintegrated instantly, dissolving into particles of light.
The interdimensional ship sustaining massive damage, was nearly erased from existence.
The attack claimed the lives of all remaining beings on board.
If not for his control, the mere aftershock of his strike might have killed his wives as well.
Cough~
Coughing up blood, Maximus felt his body on the verge of breaking.
“Escape~”
With his consciousness slipping, he gathered the remnants of the interdimensional ship into his storage space.
Grabbing his wives, he quickly boarded shadow and fled.
“Voyager, return to base! Tell Wanderer to initiate Plan Crimson!” Maximus ordered, holding onto his last fragments of consciousness.
“Husband, you can rest. We can handle the rest!” Erica murmured, seeing Maximus barely holding on.
“No, just a little longer! Don’t worry about me…”
Seeing Maximus’s stubbornness, they had no choice but to cast several healing spells on him.
Stabilizing his consciousness, they arrived at Shadow Oasis within a few months.
“Wanderer! Get inside!”
By now, the Shadow Oasis was desolate. Plan Crimson was to dismantle their base and escape.
From buildings to arrays, and every plant in the Shadow Oasis, Wanderer dismantled everything.
After entering the ship, Maximus used the last of his strength to destroy the soul pool, disrupting the environment and erasing their traces.
“Escape… escape as far as possible. Wait for me…” With those final instructions, Maximus lost consciousness.
