Chapter 657 Recruiting Talents
Soon, taking Mylo to the newly constructed workshop, they saw colossal weapons being made one after another.
“What is this?” Mylo muttered in shock.
“It’s a Dark Blaster,” Jace said with a proud look.
“Dark Blaster? How powerful could it be?”
Although the weapon was large, that was it.
After reaching their realm, unless it was a tier 12 treasure, it had little effect, much less a man-made device.
“It has the same strength as the Dimensional Pulse Blaster.”
“So strong?”
The Dimensional Pulse Blaster was the staple weapon of the big wigs in the Aeon Plane.
Capable of an attack comparable to a master of the river of law, it was a killer.
Seeing thousands of such devices being made before his eyes, Mylo couldn’t help but be shocked.
“How is it?”
“What about the cost? Are we the ones using them? Can we buy them?”
“It’s the property of the Shadowcrest Family, don’t dream. As for the cost, it’s ten tier 12 ultimate materials for one.”
“This—”
Although it was a bit expensive compared to the regular Dimensional Pulse Blaster that didn’t need ultimate treasures, seeing that it could be easily produced was still amazing.
Although the Dimensional Pulse Blaster could be built at a low cost, it was time-consuming.
With all the supporting micro-arrays and different syntheses of materials, much less the skill required, just the miscellaneous work will take millions of years.
Even after an epoch, a top family might not possess even a hundred thousand of them.
Now, looking at the Dark Blaster that could be built in a mere few days, the material cost was nothing.
After staying on this battlefield, they no longer took ultimate materials seriously.
As long as they were diligent for thousands or tens of thousands of years, collecting 10 tier 12 ultimate materials was easy.
“Can we really not buy them?”
“Don’t worry, although we can’t own them, after this round, they could be rented.”
“That’s great!”
Most of them had already considered staying in the Dark Void Domain, even after the dimensional competition had finished.
This place was truly a holy training ground.
A few epochs of training inside the Aeon Plane might not be as good as a few thousand here.
If they hoped to still reach the overlord realm, staying here was their only chance.
Taking up their arms, they quickly began to work according to the instructions.
Looking at the instruction manual, Mylo couldn’t help but think of copying them.
“Don’t even think about it; this Dark Blaster was created with the Rune of Maxine,” Jace said, seeing through his thoughts.
“Rune of Maxine?”
Being from the Devourer faction, he was ignorant of most information about the Shadowcrest family.
“It is said to be a rune created by the leader’s father, Maximus Shadowcrest.”
“Can’t we just learn it?”
“Only those who walk the Path of Knowledge could use it.”
“Oh~” Mylo sighed with pity.
He was already walking a path of his own; although he still hadn’t condensed his river of law, it was only a matter of time.
However, looking at the Dark Blaster before him, Mylo felt tempted.
“Say, what if I change to the Path of Knowledge?”
“Are you crazy?! You are one of the top talents in the Aeon Plane. Are you willing to walk a path others have already walked?!”
“Why not?”
With the bearer of the holy physique at the helm, even if he was a little weaker following a forged path, he couldn’t be weaker than others with these weapons.
“Hmph! You should think deeply; this is your path, not mine.”
Although Jace disagreed, seeing Mylo’s thoughtful look, he could only shake his head.
…
Meanwhile, in the Shadowcrest Residence, Maximus and his whole family were in a rush to fix the Orbital Plane Blaster.
Firing a shot comparable to an overlord heavily damaged the device.
Although it was not scrap, fixing it would take hundreds or even thousands of years.
“Father, here is the report!”
“What is it?”
“The Dark Blasters were being made in haste. A few days later, there should be 5,000 Dark Blasters.”
“That’s good!”

Although its attack was only comparable to a tier 11 master of the river of law, it was more than enough to tide over the difficulty.
If they weren’t so costly, Maximus even wanted to build hundreds of thousands or millions of them.
With such a saturated attack, even an Absolute might have to back out.
“What about the other things I asked you about?”
“It’s proceeding well, although no one has started so far; many were already conflicted.” Liam smiled.
The second order his father passed on to him was the recruitment of members for the Order of Maxim.
Training them from the bottom up was too slow.
Even with all kinds of resources, producing even a tier 11 individual mastering at least 10% of the Path of Knowledge took millions of years.
The surge of growth of the Order of Maxim had long stopped.
No matter how Maximus invested, there was not much return.
Initially, Maximus thought it was nothing.
It was still epochs before the dark disaster arrived, and with plenty of time, it didn’t matter if the growth of the Order of Maxim slowed.
However, triggering such a disaster, Maximus felt a little guilty and, more importantly, nervous about the future.
His Plane Level ability was truly a bug.
Although it could give him anything, it had a price.
If he were not careful and wished for something he couldn’t afford, it would be over.
Thinking about strengthening his arsenal, he turned his attention to the ether devices.
With more individuals walking the Path of Knowledge, they could create more ether devices.
With more ether devices, he could output more energy without worry.
If he had enough energy, he could even help Zar stay in a trillion power amplification.
He could also try and increase the power of the orbital blasters.
To increase its power, besides material and breakthroughs in knowledge, energy can also be used.
With more energy, he could forgo most of its amplifiers and directly use massive energy.
From Zar to the orbital blaster, such combat power at his disposal would make Maximus a little more fearless in his wishes.
The True Path was truly omnipotent, as long as he had enough power to take it, it would give him anything.
To start such a cycle, Maximus needed more individuals walking the Path of Knowledge.
