As millions of years passed, the Virtual World of Chaos slowly came into being.

From being tested on a few planes, it began to spread rapidly.

Before long, just after 10 million years, the entire planar chaos region was included within its scope.

Allowing every being to communicate, regardless of strength or distance, the speed of the Amalgamation of Will grew faster.

From a quarter, to half, and then just after 80 million years, hundreds of millions of years ahead of schedule, the power of the Amalgamation of Will reached all beings!

At the center of all this power, Maximus was already deep in seclusion.

Powered by the will of all beings and countless myriad energy, he began to condense all the Archons of Law into one, attempting to form a path at the level of myriads of law!

"No! I can't do it! My power is lacking!"

Amidst all his successive plans, instead of a smile, Maximus was filled with gloom.

About 150 million years had passed since Eshka erupted with the power of doom.

During this time, Maximus became increasingly aware that the Chaos Destroyer was drawing closer.

Wanting even a slim chance to fight back, Maximus had to either advance to the Archon Realm or condense the myriad of laws!

Unfortunately, for the former, without his plane-source physique evolving to a true plane, it would leave a massive flaw in his foundation once he tried to advance.

Hoping to place his chances on the myriad of laws, Maximus had been in perpetual seclusion since his family advanced, only emerging for a few days every thousand years.

Yet, despite all his hard work, he was still a little short.

An Overlord's body was simply too weak to contain the myriad of laws.

"I guess I could only advance to the Archon Realm..." Maximus decided, despite all the drawbacks.

According to his senses, the Chaos Destroyer, a suspected Tier 14 being of chaos, would arrive at their location in about 10 million years.

Without sufficient power to hold it back, much less repel it, they couldn't even escape.

With no time or choice left, Maximus could only choose the rougher path ahead.

Informing his family of his decision, Maximus went into complete seclusion.

Soon, as the beings of the Planar Chaos Region immersed themselves in the prosperous era of connection and will, time began to pass quickly.

As the new revolution swept through all the beings, the dark beasts outside the barrier were slowly being suppressed.

Armed with tens of thousands of Archons, countless Overlords boosted by the power of will, the dark beasts that once brought them despair became mere meat on their chopping block.

Taking their essence, blood, and flesh, they became resources that allowed them to grow and prosper.

Amidst all this, deep in the chaotic void, a dark beast slowly shed its previous form as it finally devoured an Origin Dark Beast and evolved into one.

"Hahaha, finally! I advanced at last! This power! This might! I'm invincible!"

Holding the power of an Origin Dark Beast, coupled with his intelligence and control, Lazarus felt unprecedented strength.

Compared to his previous self, he felt that even if he faced off against all the Overseers and all the Archons in one go, Lazarus was confident he could defeat them all with a single touch.

Furthermore, urging his connection to darkness, Lazarus sensed that his ultimate prize was about to arrive in the Planar Chaos Region.

"Perfect timing! Soon, just a few million more years and the Chaos Destroyer will arrive!"

Looking at his grotesque body, which he couldn't reshape, and his mind full of destructive thoughts, Lazarus knew that advancing beyond the Tier 13 realm was his only chance to regain his former self.

"Hmph! Everything and everyone that has harmed me will pay..."

Biding his time, Lazarus began to consolidate his power, waiting for the perfect moment.

Soon, 11 million years later, following Maximus's retreat into seclusion, a wave of gloom swept through the Planar Chaos Region.

Eshka, sensing the danger, couldn't help but shudder as she looked at the sky.

"It's here, the demon father told us about!" Eshka muttered, filled with fear.

Although she couldn't help but feel a deep sense of desire to devour the same kind, she was like prey facing a top predator.

"Don't worry, father is with us. At worst, we'll escape," Asha comforted her, looking at the sky with ease.

Their father, Maximus, had advanced to the Archon Realm millions of years ago.

However, he didn't stop his seclusion. Instead, he continued to try to condense the myriad of laws.

Confident that her father could emerge at any moment, Asha, along with everyone in the Shadowcrest Family, remained calm.

Unfortunately, the Overseers and all the Archons didn't share the same mindset.

Sensing the world-destroying beast, the Chaos Destroyer, one of the strongest mythical chaos beasts, fast approaching the Planar Chaos Region, they felt nothing but despair and began thinking of escape.

Although Maximus had long warned them of its appearance, theories were far different from reality.

Soon, just before they could act or escape, the Chaos Destroyer arrived before the barrier that protected them.

Looking at it, it seemed as though all the laws of chaos converged, then exploded, destroying everything in its path.

Overlords and Archons alike, before they could even comprehend its form, felt their minds go numb, followed by an agonizing pain that made them kneel.

Arrrggh~

Groaning in agony, they hurriedly closed their eyes to recover.

As for the Overseers, possessing powers and beliefs beyond anyone, they stood firm, staring at the Chaos Destroyer, which seemed to be observing something.

Suddenly, as if it had found its target, it roared and charged toward the barrier that protected them from the tide of dark beasts.

Thud~

Like glass, cracks suddenly appeared in the barrier, terrifying everyone.

"No! It's over! Run!"

Panicking, most of the Archons regained their senses and shot toward their base, planning to take their friends and family to escape.

"It's not over yet. Try to hold on. He will arrive!" Tiara muttered, remembering Maximus's words.

Meanwhile, hearing her reminder, all beings froze, remembering the new pillar of the Planar Chaos Region.

The man who had led everyone to counter the dark beasts, wipe out the Black Sigil, guide them to prosperity, and realized the power of will that revolutionized the world… Maximus Shadowcrest.

"Hope is still here…"
